We all know the New York Knicks, of my favorite NBA franchise. There ain't no damn surprise. Well, the newest member of the New York Knicks, mister call Anthony Towns, was lord hoodwinked bamboozl into the goat debate by that damn insane Lebron forming dude himself, the one and only Shannon shop on Club Chase shape with his Benedict though. Oh oh, he gets all my damn nerves with his goat. Lebron love himself, look at look at Shay Shae to just coax and call Anthony town into this conversation, talk about leading the witness.
Listen to this who's called Anthony Towns. Like I said, I'm always gonna speak what I see with my own two eyths. Okay, I can't speak for everything. I wouldn't be able to. Well, man that man Bron different, and man Bron's something special. So Bron's the best player we've ever seen talent wise, I think he's the best player you could. Now, if you want to get caught up in chips and rings and all that stuff, that's that's up to people to debate. But when we just talk about pure talent and tangible size, like to have the be the best basketball player, you got to have all these different things. And look when he's and look how he's done it with the scrutiny, to criticism or everything. I mean, Bron's the best player. We're saying both hands now. He's developed that three point shot really well, defended at a high level for all for all those years. Athleticism was. I don't think I don't know the best you've got in the NFL. I don't know can still jump as high as he was the way he was doing it to eat all that like competitiveness got the wins. Bron is the best basketball player we've ever seen, talent wise, just straight off, he's the best player.
Oh you know, I mean that, Damn Shaye Shade, to instigate yourself. I see what you're trying to do, Shay Shape. It ain't gonna work. It ain't gonna work. Shannon Sharp. You can try that nonsense all you want to. You can line up call every time, gonna get one of my members, one of my New York Knicks, all right, one of my New York gets. Who you hate on, who you hate on, You're gonna get one of my peeps, now, one of my peeps. When Orange and Blue Scott's baby a hunch of Blue Scotts, You're gonna get one of them to say that about your man, lebron Jays. You ain't being slick. You ain't gonna get away with it. Every time you do something like that on shade shape, on Club shak Shake, I'm gonna beyond it. I'm gonna beyond it. You ain't getting away with it. Six championships, not a single loss. Okay, A ten time scorer champion, a nine time off First Team on defensive player, and you gonna get some brother. I love you, Call Anthony Towns. You know that I love you, especially now that you're a New York Knicks but just still wet behind the ears, your breath smelling like Sema Lack. Okay, eight years old. Do y'all know that Carl Anthony Towns was born in nineteen ninety five? MJ had four rings by dead. You understand what I'm saying. What's his birthday? I live November fifteenth, nineteen ninety five. MJ had four rings at the time that Carl Anthony Towns was born. You know what I'm saying before he sat up there and was taking it, was sucking on a bottle, before he crawled, before he walked, before he dribbled the basketball, before he shot a jay, before he did anything. Michael Jordan already had four damn rings and Shannon Sharp asking him that question, like he really really know. You should be a shame to yourself, Shannon Sharp, you should be a shame of yourself, a shame to yourself.
But it's all right.
You think you're gonna get away with it. You ain't the only damn person with a YouTube channel and a damn podcast. You ain't gonna get away with this, say safe. I'm gonna be all over you, over you, all over you all long. Okay, you ain't gonna get away with this. I see you keep asking these people this damn goat conversation. They're gonna have to get through me. I don't want to hear from some puppy that is called Anthony Towns. He's young, he don't know any better.
He was baldwin.
Mj was at his height doing damage. You remember that. You remember that? By the way, let me dial it back because props needs to go to the Knicks who hired Patrick Ewing as an ambassador to assists both basketball and business operations. Patrick Ewing is one of the greatest New York Knicks of all time. No, he never delivered the championship. Yes he did get out played in the finals by a came to dream of Lodge one in ninety four. Yes he did miss that finger roll against the Indiana Paces and I get all of that, But he is still one of the greatest knicks of all time. Played through injuries, played through pain, was reliable, was a first class person, first class citizen. I know he didn't have a lot of success, particularly at the end of his day. Is it Georgetown coaching that program? But Patrick Ewan will forever be a beloved Nick and anything you could do to bring him into the fold is something I support.
