Transcript of Alley Oop 156: Jason Kidd SNAPS at Reporters Over Flagg at PG, Jokic Returns, SGA MVP Talk & Wild Viral Chaos

Sis, did you see my boy hop in a ring with a system? I don't know. They used to call it a two-page, now they call it a system. A system?

That's a nice way of putting it. That's like when people used to call it the Herp, and now people say... They call it a cold soar. A system.

Welcome back to the Alley Oop. I am Juju Gatti, joined by my sister as always, my co-host, the lovely her as she is, Trista Crick. How are you feeling today, sis?

I'm feeling good, Juju. These NBA topics have got me very locked in.

Locked in for sure, man. But let's get straight into it, man. The Joker has returned. The Nikola Jokic. I wanted to call him Yannis because I'm so used to talking about Yannis right now. The damn Joker returns, man. Payne Watson, Big Buckets. Against the Thunder, though, caught the L. What do you think that this means for the Nuggets season? With that little experience time they got for Payne Watson, for everybody to have a a bit more responsibility. What's you think moving forward for them Nuggets?

I think everybody thought he would be back after the All-Star break, and he's probably back five games before the All-Star break. And so you're talking about a guy who really felt like he wanted to back for his team. I think the fact that Nicole Jokić got injured got Jamal Murray, his first All-Star appearance, because he was able to put the team on his shoulders and give you buckets and them get a lot of wins that I think people did not expect them to get. Listen, you just got the thunder on a day where Shay Gilgish was... You know that Shay's on a new level, and maybe it's just me, maybe this is foul.

Yeah.

He's not shaving his sideburns anymore. He's allowing his facial hair to be whatever. That's a level of gryminess that I don't think people really understand means I give two Fs now. I'm just hooping. It's the Kevin Durant, I don't comb my hair anymore, swag. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah. You feel me? It's Black history, so I got to correct you. Brush his hair anymore because I don't think my brother could ever run a cone through that piece of shit. Now at one point, but at the same time, yes. Kd, perfect example of, bro, I don't give a damn about what you think is cool or not. I just put up 30. You did. And I got 30 to put up tomorrow. So yeah, I definitely think this year's MVP is SGA's to lose at this point. You did. Especially with Yoke is going out for that little injury spell. What you think? Is it locked in? Is it guaranteed, SGA, two in a row?

The only way he doesn't win it is if he was to get injured. I think if he was I don't know, tear something and he was out for the rest of the season. He clearly couldn't win it. But outside of injury, which we're hoping for him to not have, I think it's his to lose. Now, we've talked about this many times, and I will continue to say it. If it really was most valuable to his team, Jalen Brown should be in the conversation. But that's, as you would say, neither here nor there.

Neither here. Nor there. Nor there. Yeah, I believe I'm 100% in locked up with you on that one for sure.

All right. So Jason Kidd, historically, for people who don't remember the lore, he got fired as the head coach to the Milwaukee Bucks because he decided to try to turn Giannis onto Tukumpo into a point guard. He put the ball in Giannis' hand, and Giannis has never wanted to take it out of his hands since. It actually turned him into one of the best players in the NBA at driving, at just attacking. And really, I knew it was going to happen again, Juju. I knew when Cooper Flag got drafted, they didn't care at all about D'Angelo Russell. They were going to put the ball in Cooper's hand. And quite frankly, in the beginning, just like it was with Yannis, it was rough. And now our boy Cooper has been putting up 40 pieces like it's his goddamn job. And so they asked Jason Kidd about it, or somehow it came up in conversation, and Jason Kidd had this to say.

Both last two games, he's on the ball.

Criticism, that's your opinion. You guys write that bullshit. I've done this. I played this game. I played it at a very high level. I know what you guys are doing. I don't give a fuck about you guys are, right? Because you guys have never played the game. So I build. So I know what the shit I'm doing. So to take criticism, it only makes me better.

Go ahead, He was trying to pay you a compliment. Did you notice that?

He was literally about to say, But Cooper Flag over these last couple of games has really been exhaling. Can you talk about how important it was to put him at the point guard for his development? He was like, I'm not even trying to answer that. I'm trying to say, I don't give an F. Well, you guys are right because you guys are writing that BS.

What? My boy had a clip loaded already. Somebody say the magic word in here tonight. I bet you won't. And my boy said, The magic words, criticism. Fans, people. But to Jason Kee, credit, though. That's a good message, man. Damn, what these folks talking about, man. These folks ain't never sat in your shoes, man. Walk the mile in your shoes. Walk two steps in your shoes. Criticizing my boy. So I feel him on that.

All I'm saying is this.

Yeah. Triggered. Trey Sons, baby. I remember my boy. He's calling Tricky Trade.

Yeah, that's what they need to call Jason Kidd. It's highly triggered.

And get what else they got to call him. Highly paid. They call them Mr. Kidd at the bank. You dig it? Moving on, though, before we get up out of here, man. Paul George, bro. My boy, Playoff P, a. K. A. Prescription P.

Oh, no. See, here's the thing. We got to set it up, first of all. You can set it up. I've got to take.

Yeah, my boy has been suspended by the NBA for 25 games before breaking the league's substance abuse, banning drugs, whatever you want to call it, quotation marks, policy. Now, the NBA themselves have not nailed down what exactly he did, which is the curious part. They said, My boy is out of here. Don't worry about what he did. Whatever we say he did, he did it. How about that?

All I'll say is this. If it comes out that Paul George was taking drugs for his mental health, benzodiazepines, which some of them are banned by the NBA, and he gets suspended for 25 games for helping out his mental health after he's been mercilessly bullied since the bubble, I think I'm on team Paul George because he said it's not PEDs. He wasn't taking PEDs.

Look, we found a smerch of sweet spot. I think I see something. I think I see a crack in the armor. I ain't going to put you all on it. You got to tune in to the next episode for me to expose this, but I see something here.

Listen, we can't be suspending someone from taking care of their own health. We're literally calling him podcast P. We're calling them side of the backboard P, saying that he's going to the fetal position next to his bed in the wall in the bubble. The man is trying to take care of his own brain, and the NBA is out here saying, Oh, if that's what it is, it needs to come out. Because if that's the case, I cannot side with the league.

Right. We definitely need more information, you dig it? Because I am one person who always be like, Bro, you all folks don't even know what you all are talking about. And I hate to castigate blame or criticism from folks. You did? Come on now. I've been reading. My boy, Cousinette been reading. It inspired me to go read the book. You did. Webster's. You did. Encyclopedia Britannical. So holla at me, sponsorship-wise. But at the same time, we're going to be patient with my boy. We're going to wait till the extra result. We're going to wait till after Super Bowl week to get some more inspiration or information on my boy, because if it's not for mental health.

Oh, then we're going to crush him. Attack. Hey, ya!

And we are back. Moving on to a segment we like to call B-O-Y-S-H-T-O-P. Bust up. Bust up.

For the audio listeners, we've got some rodeo women on Seesaws. That's how it starts out. How do we know they're rodeo women? Because they're in cowboy hats and cowboy boots. I have cowboy boots, some of them, and it's a rodeo.

Come on, Trista. It's a rodeo. Right. Grow up, Trista.

We're asking the hard questions here.

Here we go. I'm going to play this. It's wild, and you got to wait for it.

When was the last time you've been on a Seesaw, bruh? I ain't even seen a seesaw since.

Someone's getting ejected.

Third grade.

That ain't even it. That ain't even it. Wait for it. It's worth it.

Oh, my God. Okay. Abort. Seesaw No, no, no. I'm not going to hit with a seesaw. No, no, no. Get out of there.

For the audio listeners, a bull has been released, and these poor women got a seesaw up above over...

Oh, damn. I knew it. She's dead. I knew it. All of them are dead. Run.

She got caught. Another one got caught.

Is she out? Is she dead? Oh my God.

I don't even mean to laugh at this.

Please, Bull. Stal her out, Bull. Stal her out. Now, they're dragging her out. They're dragging this woman's corpse. Oh, another one. Oh, my God! Oh my God!

The Bulls got her up against...

Metacarpal. No! Sis, the cameraman.

I got to say one thing, and then I'm going to let you guys I'm not going to take this over, but I got to tell you one thing. When this first came out, when we just saw this gentle beginning part with the seesaws, I was like, wow, people really hate women. That's what went through my head. People really hate women with just this gentle part of them just a seesawing. And then the bull came out and I'm like, oh, no, they want to kill women. Forget dating.

I'm not sure, bruh. Unless this is some involuntary seesaw act, it seemed like these women don't care about themselves. Bro, I knew for a fact when I saw the bull come out, I'm like, He's getting white pants no matter what. White pants.

Oh, my God.

White pants, you think? Oh, that one. Oh, my God.

She wore red as a shirt. That was a mistake, number one. First of all, the question that I have is, did they know when they signed up that it wasn't just your everyday run-of-the-mill seesaw?

I mean, this has to be illegal. Well, nothing's illegal anymore, it seems.

How you get hit- If it's in the United States, this is illegal. How you get blindsided by the bull. If there is nothing I'm watching other than the bull. She's seeing him watching Siski drop across the damn field and got blindsided by the bull. Girl, stop. Now, all four of you all are beautiful women, talented women, with the knowledge of probably more than Einstein, I'm still going to give you all a boy stop for each rung of the damn seesaw. They get the boy stop?

No. Who get the boy stop? Boy Stop.

The event gets the boy stop. The event gets the boy stop. I got to agree with that because it's like they're trying to kill these women with this phone. They're trying to kill them.

What was the insurance policy here?

Insurance? But your fault. Remember Will Smith?

All right.

Well, we got one in there.

The caption is adding this to my bucket list. Whoever wrote that, boy, stop.

Exactly. Everybody out there, wake up. Everybody, stop.

All right, moving to the brother who broke the entire Internet this weekend.

He got a dub in a ring and a L every single where else besides his algorithm. Since, did you see my boy hop in a ring with a system? I don't know. They used to call it a two-page, now they call it a system. A system?

That's a nice way of putting it. That's That's like when people used to call it the Herp, and now people say... They call it a cold soar. A system.

A hair system.

It's a hair system. It obviously wasn't operating like a system. It was operating like a toupee because the system doesn't come off when you get punched. I saw this on the internet, and I sent it to the group chat immediately. I knew we had to talk about it.

No matter what, what in the damn Eddie Winslow was you planning getting in his ring? Because I felt like if I'm the other boxer and I saw it was a toupee earlier than everybody else saw it was, I'm uppercutting this boy right now. You just tried me. I'm finna' suppose you. What did you put it on with, too? Is that Elmer's? Because it's not super. Super don't move like that.

You can see the white Elmer's glue on the back of it right there. Watch. There it That's white.

It looks like the underside of a rug, like a rug mat.

Don't they usually brain or something the system on where it can't Come on, this is just barely stuck on with masking tape. Right. He got no... Go ahead.

If you're going to play an intense sport, don't you take off your jewelry? I would be like, I'm taking off the two pegs because it's going to come off.

You know what I mean? Right. If I'm the other team, I'm like, No, he got in here with a weapon. That ain't going to put my eye out.

Again, it looks like a scalping. I feel like we keep talking about scalping on this. It looks like he scalped himself with the uppercut.

Right. If I'm the other guy, even though he called the L, if I'm the other guy, I'm like, Bro, I knocked somebody's wig off the other day. Yes. You hear me?

For the end of time, you can say, I hit somebody so hard, his tupac came out.

Come on, man. How many people can say that?

That's pretty impressive.

But after the interview, after the fight, bro said, he was like, Bro, I ain't going to lie to you, man. The other day, I washed my hair at my mama house. It was a bottle he thought was shampoo, but it was ammonia. And he put it in his hair. And so he said, Oh, I can't get in the ring with a bow head. I'm finna go get me a little system from my boy down the street. Jesus. Okay. Turns out you should have went Michael Jordan, bro. It should have been like, Sticky Fingers, because- That is the worst lie.

I don't believe that that is what he did.

Come on, it's Black History Month. We can't do that on Black History Month. Hold on, we're going to believe my boy.

It's not Black History Month. It's February second.

I mean, when did you start it? Black History Month start February 1, man.

Oh, yeah.

Exactly. What are we doing?

I was like, What's happening here?

What's happening? You had me thinking I was wrong. I was like, Oh, shit.

I was like, Wait a second. Is it start mid-month? What is she doing?

My bad.

She was like, Man, ain't no Black history. Why is February second.

In Tristan's world, Tina Turner is still alive, so there's that.

There it is. She don't see color. I forgot. My sister don't see color at all. No. To the barber who put this system in my boy head in the first place and used a glue stick instead of the real one, boy, stop.

Okay, they asked Reggie Miller who to... So Kaitlyn Clarke was on the set of Sunday Night Basketball, which I actually think was super dope. Super dope. Shout out to MBC. They had Lenny Kravitz. Also, real quick juju, Lenny Kravitz with an MBC, I think, with Shots Fire, Double Barrel. Did you hear the song? What was the song was?

Tell me, let me know.

The song was, Little Less Conversation, Little More Action.

That to me is a shot at TNT.

That to me is a shot at Inside the NBA. That to me is a shot at ESPN and First Take and all those Yappers. How about we just show the games? How about we just show the action? A little less conversation, a little more action. A little more Bob Costas, a little less Stephen A. Smith.

I like that because I ain't going to lie, bro. Now that the NBA TNT staff... Oh, Ms. Rebecca got a video. Hold on. Yes. Ms. Rebecca got a video. Let's play Ms. Rebecca. And has it before we need it.

Kaitlyn Clarke comes on the set. She's going to be on Sunday Night Basketball. I don't know how many times. It could be like the Michael Jordan thing. We don't know when we'll see her again. But they asked Reggie Miller who Kaitlyn Clarke reminds him of in the NBA. And for us, I think most of us fans would be like, after the shrug at Iowa, maybe it's Steph Curry. It was not Steph Curry, and her reaction is priceless. Play the clip.

Minds you of the young lady to your right. I like Peyton Pritchard from Boston, the way he's able to handle the basketball. He makes big shots when the shot clock's running down. A lot like This young lady right here. Is it afraid?

Reggie Miller. No. Reggie. Reggie. Reggie. Reggie. Reggie. Gee.

Here's what we're not going to do. This guy, Payton Prichard, is barely now a full rotation guy. Payton Prichard, I love him. Oregon grad. I'm an Oregon grad. I like him. He's a good player. He's hit a lot of shots from full court at the buzzer. He's a champion.

Yes, there we go.

He's a champion. But don't act like for many years, he wasn't in a full-on arm wrestling battle with Boston to get minutes and to get him a contract. Do not compare him to Kaitlyn Clarke.

Bro, that was so goofy of Reggie Miller is the Brother High.

Is he high? Is he high?

God damn. Thank everybody for listening. Without you all, who the hell are we?

Who the hell are we? We have more stuff to get to in the next episode. Juju and I are going to be out in San Francisco this weekend, so watch out for some social content there. We'll be back.
