The crown is yours. So, Gil, what do you make about this tweet?

They said, Lebron James posting aggress a passive aggressive tweet after a loft signs off with his teammates before the pr staff cuts him off.

Where do the Lakers go from here? Because he's like that.

I think the reporter asking is there anything that you want to say to your teammates to play Boston tomorrow night? And he said, no, just do their job. Then after the game he posts an hour glass. Now, I don't know who the hour glass was intended for. I don't know if it was Jennie Buss or the hourglass was intended for his teammates. You sorry, time is running out on you sorry mofos or Jeannie time is running out on us or Darvin Ham time running out on you?

For real? Though, what you think he meant?

You?

Remember that story you told about that girl asking for the protect.

Yes, yes, yes, yeah yeah, I think that Lebron was saying the same thing. Pack your ship, you out right, just right.

There's no conversation, no more on just everybody pack it and get on out of their sweetheart.

Hey, I heard what you saying. But look the.

Cab that that uber outside right just right, Hey, all y'all, this UBA's outside.

They waiting for you. Get gone, get gonna done.

Yeah you ain't you ain't got you ain't got to lead the NBA. But you got to get the hell out of La sir.

But but Gil, they've stopped playing.

I think they've given up like one hundred and thirty five points over the last five games per game.

Now.

I understand that it's kind of a little elevated because of the double overtime, and I think it was what one forty something, It got to the one forty, but they gave up one thirty plus back to back nights to Houston and Atlanta.

And they're supposed to be defense. The problem.

The problem is this, the game is harder for them. You know, they rank last and three point attempts they rank last and three point attempts.

Hell, they ranked last in three points made too. They can't keep They just can't keep up. They just can't keep up.

And they don't realize if if teams are shooting threes and us in they're trying to get to.

The free throw line, team is gonna blow you out. Yeah, because they're on most nights.

The only thing that they're the only way they're able to keep it as close as they do is because they go to the free throw line so much more than their opponents. Yeah, but they're normally on a nightly basis, losing the three point battle by at least fifteen points. No, yeah, they this year, they probably they've.

Probably shot more threes and forty w forty six games, probably five.

More than the other team.

Yeah.

Yeah, they losing that battle on the nightly basis, and it's hard.

It's hard to consistently overcome because threes are more than twos. That's why teams are taking more of those, because they believe, hey we're forty percent from three, we'll overtake the fifty percent from two. So when you when you look when you look at it, Gail, and that's why you know. Teams are obviously getting up more threes. But it's hard on a nightly basis when a team is outscoring you by so many points from the three point line to win ball games.

Yeah, bad part about the free throw they're winning at the free throw line with just two players. It's not like they're all shooting free throws, right, It's not like, you know, it's Andy Davis or goddamn Lebron. Right, it's not like Lebron is averaging Tennessee, he's the only averaging five, right, you know, so ad Yeah, So most of the time they're hanging on a d's shoulders to get them to the free throw line. So that is that is the hard part. Everybody needs to do their part to try to generate points. I like what Vando has been doing. I'mna I'm gonna give him his credit. He's been doing very well putting himself in positions now to get easy buckets. He's not sitting at the three, he's slicing, cut and diving. So you know, you have hope. But at the end of the day, times up, times up. Hey, I don't know if y'all watching Lakers, but I'm gonna tell.

You what you do. This is what you do. Right, there's this there's.

This team, right, I think they play in they call you USC Right. There's a player on that team he has like it's James on the back right, right, James on the back right, you chiff for him like he's your son and therefore the father of that son.

Mike, consider you a.

Friend, and Mike you to stay on the team because other than that, God damn it, if he right now, won't your ass gone?

You gone?

Sixty six players has been traded when Lebron's on the team.

That means ain't he don't hold back from cutting the fact.

Dlo, up until last night, had played really, really well. Do you think Delo steal it? Because I thought he looked he played a stretch. He had three straight possessions in which he turned he turned the ball two and then got a look at bounce on the other one because he's about to turn that over it got the flag to win to Anthony Davis and ad laid it up.

But then after three.

Horrible possessions he comes back and he hits the three and he pulls up and he doesn't even think about it with no hesitation guilt.

And this is the issue, that's this is the issue with someone like d Low. You mentally know you've been traded. So now you don't care, now that you don't know, you're playing free, Now you don't care you playing free because you're gone. Right, the d load that we see today is the d load that we needed from the beginning for us not even to be in this position.

Right, you are the third option. You are It's not Austin Reeves, not Lemon, Daddy Ryan, it's not him. It's you.

You're the You are the all star play right, You're the one who's been here before.

You need to be doing what you're doing.

I think because he feels he's free and he's out, he might as well just go out there and let it go.

And that's what he's been doing.

Right but right now, I mean Kobe of the Ozarks, Austin Reeves has been the third most consistent player behind the ad and Lebron.

And that's not I mean that needs to be d Lo.

Dlo needs to be the third, the third most consistent player. They need to be able to count on him on a nightly basis. Now his average is bumped up. It look good because he's, you know, had a couple of thirty point games in there, and he's been in the high twenties. But the last he needed to play the last ten He needed to play the previous thirty games like he played the last ten games, yes, sir.

And but the people that they're trying to trade for, I'm like, right.

You don't like de Jonty Murray. What he's about six to two?

See?

I thought I thought he liked six four man.

He ain't.

He ain't Delo size. He's not. No, he's not Delo size. Delos are big guard, right, you know, Delos are big guard. So you know, yeah, I'm giving up. I don't know. I do like I do like you know, the name is baby Boy. I do like him.

I washed him this summer up in in Washington, and he can he can hoo he can really play, uh, baby boy Murray, did you ja yeah he can really play? Yeah?

Yeah yeah, yah yeah yeah yeah yea yeah yo.

You know, I don't mind it, but you know, I never like losing height, you know, But I guess when you got Lebron and you know, a d back there.

You know, it's fine, but they say Murray. They got Murray listed at six five. He ain't six five.

He ain't look six five to me, but I mean he could be that, you know, like, but he looked like, I mean, he looked. I mean, he don't mean obviously ain't gonna have any girls. He don't have any like, but he looked, he looked angular.

I'm not even gonna lie. I'm just be honest, you know. You know, uh, that kid in Detroit, Stewart, Yeah, yeah, see he was after me over there, right because I said something. So you had you had to keep your handles with you. Yeah.

Well I was, you know, I was like, I wasn't proud when I was sitting in the stands.

I was kind of more on a low like this. So he might a little bit smaller than I really think. So he really.

So?

So hold up, so how did this happen? I think I heard the story.

Okay, you had said something about oursel Stewart on the podcast on your podcast.

No, No, I wrote something okay on Twitter.

Yeah I don't want to be I want to say he didn't read it right, right, but you know, I don't want to know. I don't know what college you went to. But let's just say he didn't read how I wrote it.

What I was.

This is what you do when the NBA. You wait for your teammates to get around. You hold you back, and you fake like you want to do it right.

You don't get fined.

You get to pretend you're aggressive. Okay, that's what you're supposed to do. That's a rule, right. I don't know if the blood was in his eyes still when he read that that that that that that that uh, because he took you like you were scared, like you really didn't want to do nothing.

He said, yeah, so you waited. So he came to me.

It's like, yeah, so you think I waited till my teammates came.

My teammates ain't here now, And I'm.

Like, yeah, your teammates ain't here the whole he read his step to you give dah like your teammates ain't here to hold you back.

God, damn boy, did you just did you? Did you just threking me? So from there? So what did you say? So when he said that, what you say? Can you stand up?

No?

I know, no, no, what like, listen, listen.

I'm a podcast, so I had to think about my episode.

I got shows to do.

I can't be dragged up and down there goddamn hallways over over some shit he couldn't read, right. That ain't my goddamn fuck because he couldn't read what I wrote right. I'm not sitting here trying to argue because obviously he musta knew I was coming or seeing me, and he was triggered.

Right, I'm not where is he from? Is he from Washington? Yeah? He went to Washington? Okay, yeah, what damn Gil? You went to his third I know, that's what I'm saying. He pulled up.

I'm trying to have a nice little conversation and he pulled up, and I'm sitting like, listen, I know, listen, I'm not even gonna lie.

When he said it. I had to go to Google to make sure I said what I said? Like what not me? I said, what you said? Did you try to explain it?

Bro?

This is what I said. This is what I meant. I'm sorry that you took it that way.

No, because I didn't really like I don't remember saying anything bad about him, So I had to go back and read it and said, no, he read it wrong.

Nah, he read it that public edu you have you loved up like Toma hearns had Mark.

I didn't want no part. Listen, I fight people. I know I can win. Listen fighting, you only fight if you can win. If you don't think you can win, don't fight. What I mean, but whether you so? When he said what he said? What did you say?

Huh? But you're talking about you just say nothing. I don't Bill, I ain't doing two thousand pushes to day.

What's wrong with you? But you didn't say. You could have said, Bro, that's not what I meant. You took it the wrong way. How do I supposed to tell this big dude he can't read? That is telling you. I said, Bro, you took it the wrong way. I'm saying, Look, I understand. Ain't nobody trying to get fined. What I was saying is that, look, you wait till your teammates grab you.

You act like you want to do something.

Bro, I know you're gonna squabble in the streets, but in the streets and in the game, it's something entirely different. You ain't trying to throw your career away. I hear you, but my feet was more forest comp style.

Baby.

I was ready to run. I had to stop myself from running. I said, oh shit, I got to show to do it. Come on, I couldn't be dragged Gil.

You just gotta I mean, looking like Bro, I was like, nah, Bro, I said, do you just you just took it wrong?

Yeah, listen, just like just like you know how people be talking on the internet.

Yeah, you go to have that keyboard day, have thune.

Well, you see me, I'm one of them dudes. Oh no, I don't have to say I had to say smoke once I see you. No, No, I pretend that I didn't say none of it. Right, unless I know I can win the fight, and which ninety eight percent of the people I talked shit about, I probably can't win that fight. So that four, I'm made to run, right. I'm not even gonna be ashamed. Baby, I'm out of there.

Uh, what what is your take on?

You gotta play at least sixty five games to be eligible for awards MVP all NBA Defensive Player of the Year. You missed you you you what sixty five seventeen? So you missed more than seventeen games, you're ineligible for those awards, and Tyre's Halliburton.

Has an opportunity to get for the extra million.

He's probably unless he hey, unless he get on the ball here, you gonna he gonna here, gonna miss out on that bread. Joel eb has an opportunity that I hear the thing if Joel and B said he doesn't care about the MVP. The only other trophy though, the only thing that matters to him is the finals. We'll get your big ass healthy, don't worry about the m v P and they'll get healthy, and let's go win the championship.

Now, that's what he said.

He said the record, because after he dropped that seventy, he said, that's fining good.

But the most important thing to me is the NBA Championship.

Come on, you know that's you know, that's players, that's playing media right what you what? What do you really supposed to say? Do you really supposed to be selfish? Like Eli, I'm going for that m VP, baby, I need I need to show y'all that I earned this one. So I'm going back to show you on He can't say that, you know, back to back cares a lot of way.

It puts you in a different category. Yeah, so I have to play so a player. It plays the political game. Yeah, I don't really care about that. I don't cared about the championship.

Knowing damn well, you think I'm averaging thirty five of the game, not the win back to back end VP must be silly.

Now they should have thought, oh, Gil, this is what those players should have thought when they was sitting there ASTs side, and there wasn't nothing wrong with it. And now the owners and the player and hey, the NBA PA agree to this.

This is the rule that the players agreed to.

So this is not something that the owners just instituted without players being involved, because it seems to me the other players got tired of the superstars just arbitrarily sitting out.

Now, okay, so the only problem with it is is.

You're putting.

You're putting number on something that's an anomaly. Right, If I play under sixty four games, my chances of making the All NBA team is not that high, right, it really is, madlease, But if I played that dominant I might make it, right, right.

Like, you know what I mean?

So what you're taking away is you're taking away the anomaly of it, right, the you know, in NBA history, there's only three players who's played under sixty five games that's.

Won in MVP. Right, there's only been three, Right? Did they have great years? Right? Bill Walton eighteen and thirteen? Who played that?

Was? That was?

That was the year? That was the year you won? They won the final, They won the championship with seventy seven.

But George gert but he played fifty eight games.

George Gervin played all eighty two games, averaging twenty seven.

Yeah, right, so you know what I mean, even running up.

So you know, unless it like if it was the other way, it made sense, the fact that he's averaging thirty five a game that oversees your.

Number, right, Gil, But guys was sitting out and it wasn't nothing wrong with them. So now what you've done is because you were sitting out. So now we got to punish you. Everybody there, So I believe there's something seriously wrong with Joel and Bee's knee. But because he and so many other players over the last decade had arbitrarily taken off, well I don't want to play tonight, I'll play tomorrow night. So the NBA said, no, we're not gonna have you.

We got games on TNT, we got games on ABC, we got games of ESPN.

We got these games, and y'all sitting out. No, that ain't gonna happen. We're gonna stop it. So okay, we're gonna take money at your pocket. That's the only thing that matters to you.

Yeah, but like, there shouldn't I don't think there should be a number on it, right, sixty There shouldn't be a number.

Just make it simple, right, just make it simple. Totals. I've always believed in totals.

Right, Yeah, totally play sixty five games? No, No, four? Like total points. Like if you're the scoring the scoring leader, right, the scoring.

Leader is who has the most points, not who has the highest average.

Right, it's too late for that now.

No, But that's how it always been, Right, who has the most points overall? When the season ends, if you played fifty games and you average the you know thirty five, Right, I played all eighty two games and I averaged twenty seven, and I have more points than you. I am the scoring champ, right, the scoring yet the most points is the scoring shot, the most assists is the assists leader.

Well that's how it will look.

Baseball's not like that because baseball goes by batting average. Somebody can have more hints and not be the batting average leader. But in football it's numbered. It ain't no, oh, he averaged he averaged this many yards. Again, well, he ain't got the most rush yards, so he ain't the rushing leader. You don't have the most passing yards or the most receiving yards. But basketball. But see, that's why basketball and baseball stats are more or more sacred, because you know what certain numbers are. I mean, if somebody would have asked, okay, who has the most rush yard? What's the most rushing yards in NFL history? You know you might know Ms Smith has it, but you don't know how many. You see, if if I was talking baseball and I say fifty six, you know that's a fifty six grame industry, that's Joe demajail. If somebody says three hundred, you know that's a great batting average. But if somebody man like you can't really you don't really know sacred numbers in football, but see.

But batting averages but see, but the problem with averaging is for.

You to keep your average, you're willing to dodge smoke like I'm playing like I'm averaging thirty five and I'm playing against Joker with a with a sore knee.

Nah, I'm not doing that.

I'm not playing against I'm not gonna play against this great defense with a sore knee. I gotta wait till I'm really healthy to play against his knee. When it comes to totals, and you got somebody who ain't missing those games and he has more points than you, you gotta play it.

Yeah.

I just don't understand Gil because when you look at it, but see somewhere, I don't know what it happened.

But excuse me, guys.

All the grace used to place eighty games seventy eight seventy five games somewhere along like Greg probably started at the Bullgimet when he started arbitraarly resting his players.

Yeah, I don't know.

They call it low management. If Greg Papovich started this and now the level hold on Papa bitch doing it. And look at this guys.

They went they in the playoffs every year, they going deep, they win the championship.

Oh, let us.

Start doing it. And it seemed like to me, the NBA water lost some of that back.

Okay, so now here here's a real issue.

Then this is what we got to ask the question who is coming with the idea of the load management?

Right?

Is it the players or is it the coaches in the staff right? Because if it's the play, if it's the coaches in the in the upper management saying hey, take.

Today off you know.

Boom boom boom, now that is uh, that's that should be infringement on contracts because you're telling me to take the days.

Off so I can miss enough games.

So I missed this forty million right now, somebody like Hattenburden, right, he's injured and he's ready to come back, and they're like.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on you didn't get cleared yet. Hey, you get to me and I will leave that that I will.

Lose, yes, So they for them, hell yeah, we want to hold you back.

So you missed the forty million.

We get this forty million on you, so we're not gonna clear you.

Right.

That becomes the problem too if it's their idea. Because now when a player has an injury, and if the injuries eight to twelve weeks, that becomes twelve to sixteen weeks now. Before it was six to eight weeks out there. Now it's gonna be a little bit longer because they can creep this game to save them money, because these players can't make these all nbas not. A problem with that is the problem with that UK that they don't see. They don't see the backlash of that. There's gonna be non all NBA talent making all NBA getting that forty million.

So if hallvn Burton ain't getting it, that means.

There's gonna be a player that has to sub.

Informed that wouldn't have got it.

He comes to all NBA player, now now you owe it. He's sorry ass forty one million extra because he's gonna be a super mix. Right, so it's gonna slap you no matter what.

Right, Yeah, And like a guy like Hawaii.

Now Kawaii's played damn near all the games this year, But what about those year? What about those years in San Antonio? Now I get that last year he was really hurt, but who I was it now? And it wasn't like nah, coach, I'm gonna play he like I ain't fighting the coach say I'm not gonna play. And then it was a situation where he had it, you know, hey, uncle, uncle Dennis, hey Kawhi, gonna play this many games, gonna play blah blah blah, and they're like, nah, we're gonna take some of this stuff back.

Well, okay, when we talk about the San Antonio, we just from the history of it. We have to really take your side, not Pops at this point, because whatever his start issue was, it hurt him for three more years.

Not like he left and then he was healthy.

He had to be load management and missed back to back games in Toronto.

It was still affecting him.

When he first got here, So we have to really assume that he actually was hurt. I think they were just mad that he got an outside source. I think that was really the issue that the outside source had to approve that he's ready to play, and they were the guys.

Are the guys playing too much in the offseasons, because it's hard for me to see where guys are playing. John starting and playing sixteen fifteen to sixteen all eighty two, Jordan and Kobe playing nine of all eighty two, and Malone played eight I mean ten all eighty Two's how the hell of those players playing all eighty two and these guys right here you got a beg to play sixty.

Five Because the problem.

Is smart people who thought they were smart gave information and they do not understand an athlete.

Right, how much have you been pressed on right now? Not a whole lot.

I haven't been pressing almost two and a half years. I kind of tweaked my pig, so I just do dumbbells. But I probably could go if give me a give me a month and a half, I probably could do one fifty for ten. But right now I can do one thirty forteen. Okay, you just said it. Give you a month and a half.

And you can do one what fifty for ten? One fifty for ten? Now what if I try to make you do one fifty now? I may end hurt myself exactly. The problem is is these guys' bodies are deconditioned, right They rest so much.

They told them, Hey, don't do the same workout it does. This, don't work out that much.

In the summer, Hey, training camp is gonna come up. We're not gonna live, We're gonna do the rubber band stuff. So now you have the muscle mass that looks like it's explosive when it decides to explode, it doesn't have the strength in it.

Right.

So you got these guys who are resting so much that they are deep condition. So when they decided to go and jump, they're hurting something. They're hurting something, versus the guys who are sitting there lifting every day. They're running there playing, and their bodies is used to actually.

Going through this stuff.

Right, I'm playing forty eight minutes, I'm out there running the beach. I'm out there doing the western end, right, So when you go out there and play, your body's used to all kind of trees.

These guys are not. So they have the.

Most rest but has the most injuries. That means your calculations is wrong.

Right, Guys, When I said I could do one fifty dumb balls, that means one fifty in each hand, not seventy five, seventy five, one fifty, one fifty. I mean clearly, when y'all go to the gym, y'all on y'all damn phone, because ain't no way in hell y'all actually thought.

I was doing only one hundred and fifty pounds.

You guys have seen me actually upload footage of me doing three fifty?

What did I do? I did four four five for triples? I was doing three sixty five for eight reps.

For got what some of y'all in the chat y'all guys stayed in the same home rule all day loan.

Alee, Hey, hey this, I know some of y'all had two recesses and two naps.

God dang, I'm not even gonna lie to you.

I couldn't fanom this seventy five. You were talking about letting alone in one fifty, I ain't.

Even whould have. Like, those are the ways you look like, what the fuck is grabbing that? Yeah? You like? I go to the gym, and I'm the only one I've never seen.

I think I might have seen in my seven years at this gym that I go to, I think I might have seen somebody take the dumb the one twenties now and by the gym that I go to in Atlanta, they go up to one thirty. Now, if I wanted to go up with her back, I probably have to go to Gold Gym and Venice, I think they go to like two forty two sixty. But in my when I when I, when I was like playing, I could go to like one seventies for six one seventy one seventies, but only one only two people have ever done those one seventies, me and Ronnie Coleman. Ronnie Coleman was eight time Miss Olympia. He did the one eighties. But I'm the only other person other than him to ever do the one seventies.

And I remember rope Man.

Who was my trainer, and uh, I felt good because when I when I was like really really into a gilt, I would warm up and I would start with the one forties, so we would do one forty for ten. We would do we do I do one forty for ten, one fifty for eight, one sixty for eight.

And then uh, that day I was like, Rope, I feel really good.

He's like dog. He always called me Dog. I called it right, I said, Rope, I said, Rope. I feel good that they Rope. I think I could do it.

So I hit the.

One seventies and I was like damn. I said, damn, Rope, that felt easy. He said, Dog, go ahead, do it, Doll, do it Doll. And I thought about it. I said, I get him next week I get him next week. He said, dog, I'm telling you can do them. And I never touched him, and I never I never even attempted again. That's the only regret that I really have, because I could then lift six hundred pounds. I could I could do.

I mean in my prime, I could do full five for like six or seven remps. I could do three fifteen for about eighteen reps. So I was I was like, really really strong. When I was like doing it.

I stopped squatting at when I was in college, I could I could squat like five eighty, which was you know. I was like, you know what, I think, I'm gonna get the six hundred and then I'm gonna stop. And I remember my brother telling him and said, you're gonna lift your weighting to a three point stand.

I said, nah man, He said, bro, I'm telling you ain't.

No wide receiving in the NFL benching five hundred.

Pound squat and six hundred pounds.

Because at that point in time, I say, I'm gonna be the first four to six guy a wide receiver that can bingch four hundred squad six hundred. He said, what you're gonna do is lift yourself into a three point stance. I bet damn if I ain't lift myself into a three point stand end'll go for a wide receiver to a tight end. But at that point in time, that's the only regret gil of anything that I've done as far as athletically, was not doing those one eighties because I know I'll never be able to do it. But again, because I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna. I'm fifty five, I don't need it. I don't need to, you know, do one eighties. But I know, give me a month and a half to get back into a groove because I kind of been hit a miss. I've been making myself go. I even went to the gym today on a Wednesday, which is the first time I've gone to the gym on a Wednesday since I've been in LA But I got to get back into a schedule. I got to get back into a routine, and so that's what I've been able to do. So give me a month, give me a month and a half, I'll be able to do one fifties for ten.

You got all the muscles, what you need.

You need to go in to the gym every day for Okay, I'm sorry, KD S three. When I was nineteen, I had thirty fives on both sides.

And forty two. Uh I done graduated. What you got? Fives on both sides, just a different color? What is wrong with shaw?

If I want to get tired of I don't go up and wait, I just do a little bit more of the same weight.

Nah, I just know, I mean you even know.

If I can do forties, thirty five is my max. I go straight to hay, sweetheart. What you're gonna do with those? You're gonna squad? I need those and whatever I'm gonna do right here, whatever I'm gonna let thirty fives is it?

After that? Did hurt? They hurt? So they hurt, And that's the thing. So I don't I don't lift. I don't really live heavy like that anymore.

I just got to the point I'm like, man, I'm fifty five by to be fifty six. What the hell I need to be two fifty five and all that stuff. So I'm about to come on down. I'm about to come down to about two. I'm gonna come down to like two forty two, and I'm gonna stay it. Getting two forty two. I'm like he spied right now, I'm work out with me.

I ain't get nothing that. I ain't get nothing. We're gonna spend the first hour just booty watching, right. I gotta get you acclimated with all of your.

Things in there, right, like, Hey, you got the girls in there with them giddy girls on.

I'm stay away from that. I got that one. I did that one. I did both of him at the same time, right, and it was yeah but.

See but see here is the thing, though, Gil, I got to have some kind of come, some kind of weight to me because I can't have dude walking up on me think they're gonna punk me, because there ain't no punk as him shaw now said.

I ain't got I ain't got those problems. God, so I a nobody.

Look if I'm sitting down, ain't nobody coming to stand up over me? That ain't gonna happen. So that's why that's why I stayed to myself. I go to my little place, in my little off the wall places. I stayed to myself. Hey, that ain't gonna happen.

We're seeing you with the grizzy Like, trust me, we know.

Me the only person that I felt comfortable with was probably Tea.

I can get him right.

The rest of them look like they look athletic. I can get him the rest of y'all. Yeah, I'm gonna shut the fuck up that ship.

But you know, here and I had a great conversation out of the thing. You're like, Man, I ain't mean no, het say, Bro. All I know is I heard what you said, and I think and when I world around at that point.

In time, now I'm on one.

So at that point, at that point in time, honestly, when people say they blackout, I believe them because at that point in time, I completely forgot I was at the game. At that point time, I'm at a cookout, I'm at a barm, I'm at something, and I'm not even looking at it.

I'm not even looking at them. All I know.

I said, if one guy step over that line, it's over. Hey, man, you I said, Bro, I said, I don't know where y'all from. I said, maybe y'all wired like that. So if somebody big you get scared, I said, bro, like that, I said, I hate that I put myself in that situation. But Gil, when I say I blacked out, I honestly did. I I forgot that I was at a game.

It wasn't until I got back because security took me back in the hallway and they was talking to me, and I can hear them talking, but I'm still I'm highly agitated. So at that point and I remember just like, this's like, hey, hey, hey, you good, you good?

You good?

And I'm thinking to myself, why yah fuck? Why y'all asking me? Am I good? So I'm like, as I'm calming down, I'm like, oh man, I said.

Oh man, I said, Man, I don't messed up. I said, my sister gonna see this, I said, my brother gonna see this, My kids, my kids gonna see this.

I said, Man.

At that point in time, I mean the job, hey, it is what it is. If they ain't pobys want to move in a different direction, they gotta do what they gotta do. At that point in time, the only thing I'm thinking about my sister, my brother, and my kids. I said, they gonna see this. Said oh man, I said, oh my god. And I remember looking down on my phone and training everything is just like I said.

M I said, Man, Shinney, you done messed up. Now.

At that point in time, Gil, there wasn't nothing I could do. So if Fox come in say we want to go in another go in another direction, which we ended up doing six months later, it is what it is. Hey, I'm wrong. I'm dead ass.

So I was wrong.

I handled it poorly, and like I said, and now I apologize to the Grizzlis and Dylon Brooks.

Because it should it shouldn't have got that way. All.

You know I just said when I said, I mean, I didn't think it was that bad. But okay, I get it. I get it.

I'm a fan. You know I'm trash talking going back and forth.

But I was wrong. I was wrong.

I should have just sought my ass down. And that's what I do now. I go to the game. Hey hey, bro, how you doing. They like, hey, uh, I leave it. I leave it alone. But hey, Gil, like I said, when people say they black out, I believe them.

Gil.

I could give I completely forgot. I could honestly, I couldn't hear anything. It was like I was at a game and like like in the fourth quarter and I need to make a plate and everything is hushed. Every football most Gil, everything was calm. I couldn't all those fans. I couldn't hear a thing. And then all of a sudden I heard guys talking. I could hear John talking at that point in time, and you know, everybody came running. And then I'm like, so, I'm like, boy, I ain't got nobody with me.

That's gonna squabble.

I said, boy, I give anything to have my boy. If I had burns, if I had bucket, I said, I'd be good right about. And now I say, I buy myself. I said, oh, well, it is what it is. I say, but boy, And.

So by that time I hear T. I'm like, bro, y'all not gonna do nothing. Y'all doing all that talking, ain't gonna do nothing. And then he says, I will Who said that? I've been like, who said that?

So bad? And so after I the cob down, we came back there. He said, man, let me talk. He said, let me talk to you. I said, Man, what was on T? He said, Bro, say what we're doing? I said, Bro, I don't know what we're doing. I said, but Bro, I'm glad you came and talked to me because you're grown.

I'm grown.

I'm glad we handled diffuse the situation. I said, but bro, you can't. You can't say you're gonna and when I'm in that state, you can't say you're gonna do something, because I'm gonna need to see it.

It is what it is. I'm gonna have to see it. Huh.

I think he need to put those one in seventies down.

No, no, no, no, Gil Gill, real real talk. Had I been like in the league. Oh, then that's what I'm saying. When you at thirty fives on, you ain't got to worry about you ain't got to worry about none of that.

I can tell you this.

I've never jay z. I never blacked out ever. Right, she get the bobbing, I gotta know where to run. Hey, I'm not even lie somebody. Hey listen, somebody's sitting me a d M and said, Elliot, And I remember talking to you in the mall and yeah, I was talking to you and talking to you tomorrow and a fight broke out and you bounced and let them all.

Yeah that's me. God damn, I'm out of there. My feet work.

Well, no give for the most part, Gilt, I've never really been a fighter.

I've always tried to difuse the situation. Like when I was in college, I was the guy loved. I've always been the leader, and so I've always you know, I've always tried to get my keep my guys under control, even on the team. And I know guys more times than the guys on the team, they're probably gonna be able to eat beat the college at the average college dude.

Not always, but for the most part.

But I know how my guys are, So if one of them fighting and they losing, they're gonna jump in.

Yeah.

And so for me, I always try to defuse the situation. Like even if I saw one of my teammates talking to a young lady and I know she has a boyfriend.

I'm like, bro, let that go. Man.

Yeah, man, but no, bro, let that go, I say, because if somebody was talking to your girl, you feel some type of way, I know you, So let it go. Get that man in respect. You know, we at the game, you know, we at somewhere. M h, We're not We're not finna do that. We're gonna be respectful. Now, hey if they break up. But nah, bro, just because you on the football team and you this, you that let that go. Brother, Ain't I ain't that we don't need that. We don't need them kind of problems because if something go down T five, we're gonna ride it. Ain't nobody finna ride with Ain't nobody on the yard, not the Capitol, not the Q's not nobody, not the basketball team, the baseball team, no other team gonna mess with us.

We knew that. Yeah, so let's let's just say we got to keep the peace. Bro.

We got to go to school here, and I don't want to be happy to look over my back. You know, even when the guys came out the city. There's a situation where guys came out the city. Well, hell, I'm you know me. You know, I got a whip, gil. So I'm all at the car wash, I'm on thirty seventh, the bull, I'm all over, I'm at the barbershop.

I'm on the west side. Bro, they catch me snipping because of some foolishnish that y'all did, brod.

We nothing to do that. So I've always been a guy to keep the peace. Now, hey, I won't try to say, hey, bro, hey, let that go.

Man.

Now, you know you do sometime guys like man forgetting that, you know, he's saying there saying, bro, bro, I'm trying to Hey, if I turn this pit bull losing.

Oh so that's how I am.

Gil Now as I got older, like I said, man, that would honestly and my that might have been one of the worst moments of my life because I put myself in a situation I should have never been in because once he said what he said, I should.

We gotta be a hey, make.

Us say I'm the first one to get hit, always going for the week.

Yeah, God, That's that's what I'm telling you, guys. That's what I'm trying to tell you. I put my as old as I am. That's the first time I hadn't been I mean I hadn't even been in an argument, probably since I had to be in my my early thirties. I got into it with a guy at the barbershop because he was talking to He was talking some stuff that he shouldn't have been talking.

And that was the only time.

I said, Bro, I said, if somebody want to know something about me, and here they can ask me. They don't need you repeating what happened at Savannah State. Bro Man, I said, all I'm saying is, hey, keep my kids. I keep me and my kids out your mouth. That's all you gotta do. M I'm done with it. I said, Bro, you ain't finna talk me to death now, but you want to do and similar day, if you're not fin to talk me to death, what you want to do?

I hope He said, well, shit, I was planning to talk to you.

To death because I ain't got no Hey. He left and then come back smart man. See, he ain't ever come. I don't think he ever came back to the barbershop. That barbershop, I'm going to the one around the corner, Jill. But like I said, like I said, he said some stuff about my kid. I don't play by my kid. First of all, ain't none of your business about my kid. So I just like, hey, let that ride. On the fifth day of the Ongun You, Nicky invoked Rihanna to claim that Megan tried to pour sympathy on herself as a victim of violence. She also refuted that she is encourage their fans to approach or desecrate the graves, the grave site of Meghan's late mother. Niki speculated that Meghan's management company, Rotten Nation, has launched a schmer campaign against her and accused Meghan of seeking sympathy and controversy to booster her career. It's so obvious she wanted a Rihanna moment so bad, refersing the Chris Brown two thousand and nine assault on Rihanna, in which her interview with ABC right after and April twenty twenty two, Meghan discussed being shot by Rappert Tory Lane nearly two years prior with Gail King on CBS This Morning. On Creebs Morning, Nicki implied that Meg's stallion can't succeed without provoking her.

What's your thought? Have you heard the beef? One?

NICKI came out with Bigfoot, and I guess since in response to Meghan's hiss.

So, so, what's what's your think on what's your what's your what's your take on that?

When it comes to just female just female rap as as a whole, I don't.

Like the industry because.

There's only three or four and the fact that there's only three or four wives are always beefing. Why do everyone want to create a beef with the three or four? Like I came up with the Missy Elliott era where where they had songs Ladies Night, where you had all grades get on there and they put great music. So the fact the fact that all the rap women are beefing or they're linking up the beef kind of just stops you from one and to just be a fan of female rap, right you know? So because because of like let me know, when you know, Cardi, b Nikki and making a Stallion get on a song together and put some great music.

Right you know.

But but so but the fact that it's only three or four y'all, and the four y'all us all beef and I'm cool on the situation, right, you know they're gonna have ins and out on each other, and from there we're just we're just gonna be listening.

To just listen. Right at the end of the day. We don't care, No, man, we don't care.

You know what I mean this bigfoot little foot, right, I mean.

She said, yeah, yeah, but she stacked up though. Don't no facts. I wasn't my that. Listen.

Listen like last time I seen something stacked like that a long time ago.

I was in the library. They had books.

It was summer stacked up, the one you're supposed to get read for the summer.

Like I'd rather, I'd rather than make music together than beef that.

That's how I Yeah, I agree with you. I don't.

I don't.

I don't don't even like the guys beefing. I mean, look, I understand, I mean you know what I think. Look, I go back with lll uh and and Mod dropped the disk track and then you got ether and you got no vassline and you got I think kr is one at him and Boogie our production.

They dropped one.

Uh LL had another one with cannabis.

Yeah, I mean I can do without it. I mean I get it, but like you.

Know as as musicians, just like sometimes in the NBA, right, we wish we've seen like certain matchups, like we wish we've seen Kobe versus Lebron Yeah being ship, Right, we the history. We didn't get to see that history, Right, Prince and Michael Jackson doing some type of collaboration, right, we you know, there's just music that these greats because they're beefing, we as fans get them. We miss out on that because some of the best artists when they collab sh it is fine.

Yeah, And y'all can't get mad if somebody else come to the table and start hating on them because they knew.

I mean, I mean, I'm like, damn, let them get the bread.

Look, there's enough money out here for all of us to make, no matter what genre, no matter.

What feel that you're in.

If you're an actor, you're an entertainer, you're a rapper, you, whatever the case may be, you in podcasts, enough money for everybody what you get And I don't have to talk about you to to boast of my career. I mean, I don't get anything out of that.

It's that, It's that it's the female rap man. It's just something.

About like they just want to keep the beef for live and you know what I mean, I'm like the Missy.

Elliot is where I like, like, where's that where? Where's that connection? Like? You know it ain't it ain't.

Uh.

Thoughts on the rumored relationship between Drellmash and Jalen Green. Joe Budden called her a predator.

I don't know.

Listen, but me personally, I don't know a whole lot about her. I mean, I know she dated what's the guy from the Cowboys? Yeah, oh, Orlando's Skendrick. I think they have a child together. But that's about the extent of what I what I know about her, I ain't. I ain't any of that kind of I don't really go that deep into it.

God damn give why you up and got a stone?

Uh?

Yes, man, stand up here, stone face.

I was here talking, so you know a lot about him? Hey, your research chiefs research? God?

Yeah, I'm over here thinking about man. Yeah, you know, hold on, this ain't Megan where you know?

Hey?

Hey, maybe up here talking about Megga will sized men at thirteen. Geez, I don't care. You got a fifteen? I take them here, I take the bro if she wet tails. I take a rotting up offer.

I know, a little something something something novel. So what's going on?

What's your what's your look? What's me personally? Dude twenty one? I mean we all had I look, forty ain't old. No, forty is not old. But hey, were you nineteen like you?

Boy?

Was?

Hey? It is what it is? You know she's done the throw with she thirty nine? Right? Okay, thirty nine? Ain't ain't nothing wrong with this?

The problem, the real problem for a lot of women who's you know, that's dated, very successful man with.

Money, right.

When when nobody their age wants to me anymore because they don't my wife, they married, they done did this. The only the only way you survive is to go backwards, because the only people that's gonna take you serious is someone who don't know you or someone that that that that idolzes you. So some of these older women that has names that are famous, right, the men in their age group know them.

We right, the young people who's looking through.

The magazines like, oh it is you, they appreciate that woman. So yeah, it might look sideway, especially if it was man. The older The man is older than a woman younger. Yeah, that'll look frowned upon. And I mean, the real question is what the fuck are y'all talking about thirty nine and twenty one?

But I'm sure that you know, hey, you know, do what we're gonna do.

But for the most part, like those women really ain't got no out no outsource. In a sense, nobody their age wants them. So it's the people that's gonna make them feel feel like they're wanted will be the younger generation of men. That's why some of these older women are coming back, you know, coming back and like, hey, hey, young fellow, be in the club. You want to PlayStation?

Here you.

Little Xbox, the little Xbox, New Xbox customs.

For you rots.

But look at this point in time, I'm sure they know who she is. I'm sure even if you're twenty one, you probably know some of the guys that she's been with. And that's not that's not a knock because if you're a professional athlete, you women might not know all the women because it's not you know, because like I mean, I I mean, for this topic, I looked and saw that she had dated. I was like, well, damn, but guys are a little bit more secretive, and so a lot of the people that I don't know, if you want to call it day, you know, smash and dash or whatever.

The caids may be. Guys try to keep that stuff on the.

Hush, but when you're someone you're a female, it's kind of hard because the word is gonna get around because guys talk.

Guys. Guys have turned into brawl these days.

Because when I grew up, that was thing with hush you ain't you ain't kissing? Tell you didn't know? I mean, but now, bro wild care man, you know a man? You know I used to Okay, bro, like you ain't messing with to not you with me? Now, So let's say.

That's that's the athlete. That's the young young kids.

Now, like it was girls that I know that they got three or four dudes.

On the same team.

Flow four eight, Flow three, Flow twelve, right, and.

Then that's just the facts.

But you know, these young generation kids just like when we was young, right, we're looking at these women like these are the five in his world. This is probably one of the finest women that he's ever seen, right.

So to him, the pats don't matter. Hey, yeah, I don't know about you.

But I'm just trying to find one of the more jets centopolds that I used to have staple to my wall in college, and.

That know, they're probably about seventy. But let me catch you what's slipping. Listen.

We used to be in there like, hey, hey, that's pinky at the game, peeking from the poor heliat. I'm gonna go ahead and take a shot at it. We don't care, Yeah, we don't care, Like you know what I mean, We don't.

We don't care, man, and where he's at, Like it's at the end.

Of the day. It's like, I'm pretty sure whatever she's doing, them twenty one year olds his age ain't doing. And that's her advantage, right, because she's happy to be there, right, she knows she's before.

She knows how to play her role.

She knows how to make him feel like a man and make him feel impoorant versus a girl his age, Right, I think it's about her, Yeah, and I thank gil. The thing is is, like a female, it's kind of hard for a female.

To be with an athlete and ever go back to a common guy. It's not and I don't mean common I'm saying, but once you get to that lifestyle of being and being able to go places that guys that work nine to five or that's not a professional athlete.

So don't take this the wrong way. I don't mean common with what I mean.

If you're a professional athlete, you have access to things that guys that work nine to five, that's not professional athletes, that's not a celebrit that's not an entertainer, doesn't have access to So once a female is gotten accustomed to that or been at that, it's hard.

That's why. Man, she was with such and song, she was with this rapper, she's with this NBA player. Where does she go?

Because she's gotten you, she's gotten accustomed to dating a guy that can give her a lifestyle.

So she needs so she needs that lifestyle.

It ain't even that she needs it. She's going to offer it. No, she's gonnak it, Like what is the herror toy? Well no, no, not talk Harvey Harvey. What's her name? Lauren Harvey?

Right? We know who she dated?

Right, she can walk into any locker room and say, hey, mandate, who want to date me?

Go to all thirty locker rooms. You're gonna have five.

To nine dudes raise their hand. Yeah her, Women like that that look like that, They.

Options are limitless.

As long as they look good, because the younger generation looks at them like idols. The people their ages like, nah, we good on that. Somebody who's younger, that's like, oh my.

God, that's her. I want her.

I got the money and let me go ahead take my shot. So you know, women like that are going to always put themselves in position to find younger men. Right if you want to call it predator to because it's they would do that to us, They would do that to us. But in reality, there's not one man in here that's that's young that won't take an older woman. It is different. Older women treat you well. The older women seems creepy. That's just I guess that's how it looks.

Look. I mean, look, it's not a situation.

I can see if she's thirty five and she got a thirteen year old, she's a sixteen year old, may do it twenty one.

You know what he's doing. You know what he's doing, GIL know what he won't.

I mean even at nineteen, I knew, I knew what I would do it, and I knew her aid and I thought it was kind of cool.

You just gotta be careful on your word is you know you you know you can't.

Say, ma'am, you can't. There's just certain shit you just can't say. You know, being young and she older, you know what I mean?

I call her miss, I was calling the miss. I couldn't have it. I become gilled. I'm from the I'm from the South, and so a lady that's older than you. I don't care if it's only three four years, yes, ma'am.

So I think they got a good can't get it they got a good.

I like, oh man, you gotta feeling all bad.

And here you're like when I.

Said she own her God, she loved it, hey miss? Yeah they said it again? Okay, okay, yeah Leo.

They saying bitch cut starry yo, kitchen b a d damn ship man. What's wrong with him? Man?

You know you gotta make it somebody. You gotta make it somebody really really difficult. You gotta make it, Luca, make it Jason Tatum, somebody like that. Uh, Florida and Carlos Suba said, un Gil Wilbond versus stephen A o Cho and McCants three on three basketball, No, make it take it first to twenty one?

Or and no, it's me you and will Bond versus stephen A Ojo and McCain's all right, look you got mckinn's, I got stephen A.

Smith. We're gonna let Ojo.

Just get dizzy out there trying to use his speed.

Man.

I man, y'all need to cut that down to like third, first to five because we ain't gonna ever get to twenty one.

Now, listen, if you said, if y'all little set some screams, get your boy.

Oh bit I got it. Oh yeah, we could do that. I mean, oh, we gonna do that. Hey, ain't gonna run it down.

I'm thinking about my old shooting before I did that in twelve twenty five.

Yeah, we gotta cut that down. We gotta cut that down. Make it the severn, Like, how can you gotta deal? That is senior night. I ain't play all year and they calling my name and get in the game.

That that That's how I feel right now. Doctor Frankie L.

Bellam and said, hey, Gil, Gil, if you could pick any NBA player pressed past or present to be your teammate for a two on two street basketball game, who would it be?

And why? Two on two street basketball game?

Oh?

I would go with.

Man, you're taking jordan' Kobe? Man, stop up there like you pondering three basketball.

Yeah, you're right, I'm gonna take it.

Just you're right. I'm gonna I might take Jens Harden in that style or with Jordan Kobe and street.

But are we just playing street basketball or we got to do the tricks and stuff or we just.

Playing regular basketball? Play at your black top basketball like we grew up playing. Yeah, I just want to say s shack but I'll take Jordan. What about what about KD? The mouthside rims?

Man? I know, I know he's a sniper, but you know you got a big Are we playing on double rims? Are we playing with the chains fit like we you know, it becomes a thing right as the door D said?

Oh can we say Doc is NBA version of Mike McCarthy both won one ring years ago but can't get past the second round in the playoffs.

I mean it's facts, man, I mean it's facts like I had to really look like when people say why is Doc where he is? Doc has done something that a lot of people just don't do. He's made connections, He's made friends, He's understood the survival by friendship, yes, right, by connecting himself with people who are important, people who have connections. So when he's trying to go places and get places, he can all in favors and friends.

Right. You can't knock him for that, right. I want to be in situations like that, you know.

So when when we questioned his his resume, his real resume is his friendship and that for some people, that's what matters. The loyalty that he has with his friends and they're paying back that.

So yeah, we're gonna kill him for you know, his resume.

Like at it's his resume, that's not that's behind the.

Scenes that he has.

Somebody, somebody in the chance say they gonna take Kyrie in the street basketball.

Yeah, I man, he got that street game. He got that street game.

Please explain to me what Doc River has a job and it show more than Miss Nasty be.

With off them diamonds. I mean, Gil just told you.

Gil said he's made connections and like, like I've met Doc. I mean, like I said, I don't really know the interesties of what goes on behind the scenes.

So I'm gonna take Gil that Gil knows all that. But he's engaging.

He has a conversation, he knows, he knows the game of basketball, and he's he's he's an easy talk he can talk and he's very relatable, very personable, make you feel like you've known him the whole life.

I guess that's the that's you know, when we're talking about friendships, when we're talking about just life.

You know who we know our friendship is better than our resume that we have, right, you know what I mean?

When we make people feel good about themselves. You know, they're they're willing to put us in positions with the power that they have, and that's that's what doc. So I'm expecting his son to be in position at some point to get a chance to coach too.

Wow.

Uh, we're gonna take a few more questions. My boss is coach you, Jay. My boss is pushing me at work to be a leader. Being a leader position of honor. But I don't think I'm a leader, he says. When I speak, people listen, But I don't know. Could you give me some advice on how to navigate any and deal with it? Well, clearly your boss see something that you don't, and that's not an easy thing to do, is to be a leader, especially. I mean it's a lot easier when you're younger because you know, kids are impressionable and but now as adults, adults can make up their own mind. But that's really hard to say. That's something that I mean, I don't really know the people that you're around. But for your boss to have that kind of competence in you, that should tell you something.

Yeah, Like, you.

Know, leadership is not about like dictatorship.

You know, real real leaders are.

They're bringing the best out of everybody that they're leading, right, So you know, he he feels that you probably can talk to people.

They listen, they respect you.

And to be in that position, you just have to understand when to push the.

Envelope when to back it off. Right.

So your job is basically to put everybody in.

A great position to be successful. That's what.

Yeah, then you gotta know how to talk because everybody is not motivated by the same tactics. Like I would always say, some guys you got to pad on the back. Some guys you got to kick in the butt. Some guys you gotta tell a joke. Hey, man, man, my grandma could have called that one. I mean, come on, bro, hey bro, hey, we all out here. You're getting paid too now you gotta check too. Yep, yep, yep. So that's the thing, is just understanding how to talk to people and talk to people in a different type of way. Anthony Boat, Yo, does your Charlie brown shirt have.
