Transcript of The Alley Oop: A’ja Wilson DOMINATES Game 3 | WNBA Finals Recap | Thomas & Sabally Go Cold

Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during an ad, reads like... Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo. The tequila that invented tequila. Roximo. Cuervo. Com. Please drink responsibly. Cuervo.

Welcome back to the Alley. I'm joined by my sister as All Eazies. My sister, Trichteezy, Chris Deezey with the dog Neezy. Aka.

Little Treetree with All Eze right here. The 6-pound, Pomeranian long-haired Chihuahua.

Speaking of Chihuahua, Asia Wilson, ladies and gentlemen, she is not a Chihuahua. She is a big dog. She is proving herself right before our eyes. Game-winning shot against the Mercury, putting them up 3-0. Ms. Rebecca, do you got the iconic moment of Asia Wilson hitting the game-winning shot with 2. 2 seconds left against your Phoenix Mercury.

She got it. You got it. I know you're vaping. I know you're vaping. Mama's coming. I swear to God. Here we go. Mama's coming. Mama's coming.

I was stretching my words out. I was like, G-A-W-N-M-O-B. Here we go. Look at it. Oh, man, that's beautiful. What you thought about that shot, sis?

Well, first and foremost, I think what you cannot see on this photo is that Asia Wilson's jersey is number 22, and she hit that shot with 2. 2 seconds left on the clock. So if there is anything that you could say about a higher being, there's one little element of proof or a coincidence or quinked ink or some kismet, because Asia Wilson hitting that shot, this is going to go down as one of those probably commercial poster moments.

Yes, ma'am.

She raised up so high that I don't even know that she saw Alyssa Thomas.

She couldn't.

Shoulders don't go that high. She can't raise up her arms. That's another issue with the Torin laborums. You can't contest shots over someone like Asia. Then D. B. Dawana Bonner, a. K. A. Alyssa Thomas's fiance, I don't know what she thought she was doing, trying to pretend to contest this shot over there. But, baby, you're not even close to in the way.

I got you and your fiancé.

I raised up over you and your fiancé. Enjoy Mexico. I think it's time for you to have this silent ride home to the crib. Tell the kids the babysitter needs to put them to sleep because we've got some things to discuss because we're sitting there on the verge of an elimination and a sweep on the heels of that girl who's pretty much now going to go down as one of the greatest, if not the greatest player in WMBA history.

Moving on. As iconic as that shot is, that just going to be on posters. There's another shot that will not be on posters. This will be on the bloopers of all time shots. The other angle from the other side where you see my sister, Meg the Gusterson, calling for the damn ball. She like, Asia, I see you with it. Give me the rock right now. I'm open. What's your song? What about that?

Baby, girl, we're not drawing the play up for you. There's five seconds left on the clock. I don't even know if you gather and release time is short enough to get the shot off Meg Gustafs in. I'm not getting Meg Gustafs in the ball under any circumstances. That's going to Jackie. That's going to Chelsea. That's going to Jules. There's a bajillion people I'm giving the ball to before you. Why are you holding? I'm staying ready. I'm staying ready, Coach.

That's crazy. Three-point stance, man. May hit the window.

Oh, my God.

Hey, mama. Over here. Hey, you're right here.

What are you doing?

Imagine if she would have passed her that damn ball, we would have been an overtime faster than you could say, Dawana Bon. Like, Get her up out of there. Salute, man, though. You got to be ready. She remind me of Thomas Bryant. Remember Thomas Bryant was calling for the ball during LeBron's 20,000-point? Salute to Thomas Bryant, NBA champion Thomas Bryant. There will be no one besmirching your name.

Their name is forever besmirched by me. I don't even need to do anything too besmirched. Just know that I've been besmirching you behind your back. We don't even need to go into it. We got too much to do.

Damn, man. My sister be besmirching with the best of them, though. You will besmirch her, bro. You be besmirching your ass out. I can't lie.

Listen, once you know that the besmirch is coming for everyone, don't even take it personally, though. You made the list. You made the besmirch list. The besmirch box, like Birchbox.

Come on, man. For 14 Also, Ms. Rebecca, if you got a video of DJ Nei Kare ton. Dj Nei Kare ton let us know earlier within the series, what is the absolute answer for Asia Wilson? What can you do when Asia got the Is there an answer? If so, here is the answer for Asia Wilson. Someone said, How can you stop Asia Wilson in the paint?

Don't ask me. Do not ask me. Don't nobody got that answer. I for sure don't.

Hope she fell out.

She fell out. It's not even how you stop Asia Wilson in the paint. It's how do you stop Asia Wilson when she has the ball anywhere on the hardwood? She hit a three-pointer, and I was like, Okay, well, if she's hitting threes from the wing, you're dead. Good night. Because if she's got that stroken baby, elbow, free throw line, paint, around the rim, all of it is going in. Defender's draped on her, open, spin move, all of it is in the bag when she's hitting threes from the wing at her height.

I've been stroken. Stroken. That's what I've been doing. I've been stroken. No, you can't stop that.

You Stop that. She legitimately has the footwork and the ball skills and just the grace and athleticism and all the things that really on another level that almost no player in the W has right now.

Exactly. Think about it. She be at the house going against Bam, just right by the trash can right quick. Got you.

I think about it every time she does one of those one dribble pull-up. I'm like, She probably has done that on Bam a thousand times.

Right, right, right. Man, that's how you prepare for these. That's why I was like, Bro, it's hard for these women to even come up with a game plan on Asian when she locked in because she be doing that to Bam probably at the I was like, Practice Court, Miami Heat Facility, wherever. Even if she getting her shot blocked, she getting us shot blocked by US Olympian gold medal and a multiple Eastern Conference champion Bam out of bio.

With that, That wingspan, too. There's nobody that's going to have his height and his wingspan that she's ever going to see. That's why she's raising up higher than you've ever seen. Asia, I think, has the vertical and the body type of some of those volleyball strikers, where if you can raise up like that, no one's going to be able to get into your eyesight. Nobody's going to be able to put their hand anywhere near where that ball is, let alone your eyeliner.

Especially nobody with no damn shoulders. And a negative bag attached. Speaking of negative bags, I don't like to do this, man. Ikeia bag. I don't like to do it. But Alyssa Thomas, man, this final, if you heard, sis, I'm pretty sure after the final, we're going to hear. Man, she's been dealing with this the whole series. Bro, if you hurt, you might need to take a little pause and sit on the bench because your offensive back, ma'am, I know you are the assist queen, rebound. Oh, my God, triple, double, legend. But I'm talking about, what have you done for me lately? Bro, you need to get you a little bit deeper offensive back because your handles, ma'am, are... Oh, wow. You look like me out there. Fumbling out of Yeah, clutch. But she hit the ball off the backboard. The game was tied. Before that, Asia shot. Miraculous. The Mercury had a chance to go up. Two points. Clear out. Alyssa Thomas, illegally clank off the backboard. I'm talking about Cards and Banks style backboard. What do you think about AT, bro? Before the series, you was like, Melissa Smith, Barbecue Chicken. Do you still feel the same way?

Well, no, I don't. It's obviously not. At just hasn't given us what we saw her give us in the series Against the Links. She hasn't given us really anything outside of what we saw in game one against the Liberty, which is not a lot. Not a lot of shot attempts. You've got some miss free throws. You've got crucial layups being missed. Crucial. Badly, and badly missed.

I'm talking about in there.

If she wasn't built like a safety.

Right. Matt Truck.

And Matt Truck using her big physical shoulders that are broken to get her body into space and bull you over. I don't know if anyone would even guard her. I don't know if she'd be able to get those his assists and pass because the lanes would be clogged. The passing lanes would be clogged because it was just like, just let her go to the rim. We used to let Yannis just go to the rim and then create that wall for him. It's like that. We know she She's using her physicality to do all the things that she wants to do. But when you know she can't shoot, it changes the entire complexion of how you defend her. It's like, I'm not worried about AT. Go on, AT. We'll just hack you and send you to the line with that little push shot because you can't lift your arms up. I think all the wrap, the information, the news is all out, which is like, AT is broken.

Yeah.

She's broken. And it's time for you to get into the operator's room and sort it out.

Let's go. I'm talking about surgery, schedule it now because you made it to the pinnacle. Again, the WMAA finals. Here we are. And we're saying that, damn, if only the person defending Asia Wilson could have got up a little bit higher. Damn, if only the person that was wide open for the game winner would have had a little bit more finesse on her shit versus scrape It really is.

It really is bad. It really is. And it's not a good look for our league. It looks...

If this is the one that's top five in MVB, it looks insane.

If you've never watched any Alyssa Thomas before and you haven't seen how good she is in other things, in other readers, you're like, This girl, if you're new to the game-The casual, right.

If you just start watching this shit...

The casual, You just start, you're like, damn, this girl is garbage.

Right.

Db up and down, up and down, up and down.

She went crazy.

I was watching the Sports Gambling podcast, and they were putting her on the habachi. They were like, She can't play. She needs to be... After game two and game one, they were like, She can't play anymore. She's unplayable. She came through for game three. That's why you put her in the game. That's why you have her out there. You have to just hope that she gets hot at the right time, which she does a lot of times.

My biggest indictment for her for game two was, Yeah, you might not have a score. You might not have been an offensive threat, but zero rebounds, ma'am? No, we're not She had zero rebounds. She had zero rebounds in the game, too. I think she had nine or so. At that height. Right. No. What you all are doing? I respect. Deep biz. You got no legend. But come on, you can't just be out there getting cardio. You need to affect the game. But yeah, man, AT, surgery, please, sis. Come on, man. Come on, let's knock it off.

And Sato, we've got to talk about SOTU as well. Yeah. First of all, everybody already knows we're just going to say it because this is what you got to say, but we mean it, but we are saying it out of formality. Prayer up for Satu.

For sure. 100% prayers up.

Concussion, very bad-looking injury. She leaves the game, probably not playing for a game for. But Satu in game two was taking so many unnecessary, ill-advised contested deep threes when the lane was wide open for her to just go to the rim. That is what crushed them. Such bad shot selection. And I think that Satu's biggest issue is between the ears. That's why they got blown out, I think. That's the biggest reason they got blown out is you can't take deep threes with three people around you from the logo two seconds into the shot clock. Now the transition bucket, Chelsea gray hits the outlet, cherry pick. Oh, that's a lay. And then you do it again, that's a lay. Oh, now you're down 15, 17, 22 points.

And now she's making a movie out of you. Now she's doing this going up her down the course. Yeah, I feel you. I think also, too, what hampers the Phoenix Mercury is they're not getting the hitman, Samy Sam, that they're used to get, Samy Whitcom. No. They're not getting as big of a contribution from Alona Mekani. I remember Lashka. I'm old enough to remember Lask from the bench was getting good minutes and knocking down big shots during the season. I'm old enough to remember Kalani Brown being a force in the pain.

Kalani Brown is not playing at all.

At all. I'm old enough to remember you put Kalani Brown on Asia. Let her use a couple of those files that you're giving- Let her feel it. At. You feel me? Come on. I'm old enough to remember that. So I'm not understanding why the bench is so short. I understand it being shorter during the playouts, but man, you got to call in all cars, man. You all boy down 3-0 right now. You need to get... Who can play? Who finna get out here and give me something against these folks? Because they on dynasty time right now. One more win, they on dynasty levels. So can we go out here and slay this dynasty? Look at yourself in the mirror.

And this was the year that the Aces looked the worst. Yeah, come on. That is scary. Come on. That is very scary. This is like the 2022 Golden State Warriors that I said wouldn't go nine and one to start the without Clay Thompson. Clay Thompson didn't come back until Christmas Day or New Year's Eve or whatever game that was. So he wasn't even there until almost the trade deadline, almost All-Star. I'm besmirching. I've got every besmirch in the book for the Golden State Warriors. I'm like, This team is lame. They don't have it figured out. They're getting older. The dynasty's dead.

Underarmour shoes, whack.

You got ankle brace on ankle brace. I never besmirched Steph, but everybody else, awesome bums.

You besmirched K-Von Looney?

I besmirched K-Von Looney. What is he? Is he a center? Is he a four? You know what he was doing? Giving you good minutes against the Boston Celtics. So They look dead in the water. Dynasty's closed, and they get another chip just when you think it's over. And that's the ace. They had to have this momentum to get into the playoffs and to get a good seed, which they did 17 in a And so if you're Phoenix, you're like, They're tired. Every game has been an elimination game for these aces. But then you've got so many injuries. Sammie, like you said, she's not giving you good minutes because I think there's something wrong with her spine right now.

I mean, look, that's my problem. Like, bro, if you are not 100, if you're not 80, let us know, sis, so we can do something. We can make other adjustments and other arrangements. We got West Bell on the bench. She wet. West Bell be stone cold from the three. Like, bro, come on, man. I think it's just a lot more to do. We keep having Jules Lloyd games. You feel me? We keep having them over and over, and we don't even need too much of a contribution from Melissa Smith on the offensive end. We just need her to be an imposer, impose herself the same way. Tell us. The same way we would put Kalani Brown in over here, that's what they already Come on with Melissa Smith. She clogging up that pain and making it ugly no matter what. Yes, she's going to have seven fouls in the first quarter, but at the same time, you ain't going through her. You're going to have to earn them from the charity strike. They're not making them earn it right now. I feel like they're just going out. Come on, Kaa.

Come on, Kaa.

You can't just wake up in the fourth quarter.

You can't do that. That's another thing. No. That's another thing. Kalia Copper needs to be in every quarter a Yes. I do not want to wait for it to be urgent time. You are going home, sound the alarm, break the glass. And then it's like, Oh, Kalia Copper can score again. It's like, No, no, no, no. I need you to do it. I need nine in quarter one. I need nine in quarter two. I need six in quarter three. I need eight in quarter four. Every single quarter, I don't think that they can really guard Kalia Copper because you saw- They can't.

That's the problem.

Yeah, they had a hard time with Kelsey Mitchell. Kalia Copper can do everything Kelsey Mitchell can do, and maybe even more. She is an absolute automatic walking bucket, so why aren't you acting like it? Probably because AT is Running the offense, and she's not touching the rock. But guess what? Tell her, and her no shoulders, have an ass, it's my time.

Look, bro, you're right, bro. She got to be more involved, man, because it ain't going to get you. That's the same way I feel about McAl Bridges with the Knicks. When McAl Bridges gets you about 16, 17 shot attempts up, it's going to be a rough day for whoever got playing them. Because now you got to worry about this Joker, this Joker, this Joker. They're putting up the Vs for Villanova? Time out. We need to turn. Come on. They're not even making it hard for them. So, yeah, bro. Salute to the Merks. The Merks. But I fear it's over with. The hurt Merks, it's over with. Neither here nor there. Moving on, we got a little breaking news out of the NBA. Lebron James is being sued for $856. You're going to people's court. Right. In small claims court from a Lakers fan claiming that he was duped by LeBron's ad. He said he bought tickets to the game versus them and the Cavs, thinking that it was a retirement situation. Wasn't a retirement. Turned out to be a Hennessy. Now, his tickets ain't worth a damn. This is This is truly the definition of boy stop.

This is truly the definition of that. Are you joking me? You went out and bought tickets to a game based on what was clearly a preview to an ad. If you did that, believing it, you deserve to be finessed. You do not get to just sue LeBron for an ad. You, sir, are the dummy of the day.

Yes, you, sir, are a Joker. I hope you have a fun at Lakers Cavs and everybody sitting on the bench, resting. Moving on. Speaking of Boy Stop, we got a segment here at the Alley Oop called Boy Stop. Ms. Rebecca, it pains me to have to come back to you. But let's go.

Because you know she's going to struggle. I'm so ready. I'm like Meg. I got my hands ready. She's like Meg. She got her hands up. You don't know what you're talking about.

Here we go. What about this D, dude? You feel me? Come on. That's the problem. Asia giving you everything she got on both ends of the court. That's the problem. I love that.

I thought it was like, No, B. Nice. Off the backboard. And you know she's throwing it on the down because she wanted to snatch it. There is nothing I would imagine because I've I've never been able to do it because I'm 5'5, and I've always been the shortest. But a off the backboard block, snatch down, go the other way has to be one of the most gratifying things in all of basketball. I was going to say it feels good She didn't even watch it, man. Oh, my God.

She's like, Oh, I don't care of that. Right there, she could kill Superman. Exactly. When she bounced the ball and looked in the crowd, she could kill Superman. And that is that moment. That moment only.

She had... And the crazy thing was she's grinning like a psycho, just maniacically. And she had, I think, a little tooth jam in at the same time. And she's smiling like the Joker.

Nose rings, too.

No, the double nose rings. It's just demon time for Asia. It's crazy to me.

Her and Jackie Young got done, man. It's demon time. She had no rest. They're not playing with you.

The rap on as a headband? Dude, I'm not messing around with you. It's raps. My final MVP ticket that I've been telling everyone on the alley-oop I was scared about. It's time for those Beautiful ladies and gentlemen to pay me. It's time for them to transfer it into my account because it's gone. It's done. No Jackie Young, no Chelsea gray, no other random contributors. No, it was Asia Wilson and all Asia Wilson at all facets of the game. Three, four blocks, 30 something points, 13 rebounds, couple of assists. Come on. Comprehensive dominance.

And one, get the hell out of my face. I didn't want to cut, so I had to edit myself. Yeah, I know.

I was about to... I almost said something bad just there, too. But we stopped. I like watching Trista just go full rant with a chiclet microphone. I love that. It's real. It's like a Bob Barker chiclet, the world's tiniest microphone.

She coming out with a microphone. A lot of passion.

Listen here. I'm on the move. Okay? I got other stuff to do. I'm full with you with this big old Sure microphone that weighs seven pounds. I brought it.

Who me? I brought it to the hotel.

No, not you, Rebecca.

You go after Mr. Becker. Mr. Becker got a Coraline microphone over there.

I got flagged by TSA because they were like, What is this? Are you an influencer? If I would have this in the bag, only they wouldn't have said anything. They'd be like, Oh, yeah, she's small potatoes.

They thought it was one of the dildos you were going to throw in the course.

They said, What's going on in here?

Do you have any power? For our listening audience that can't see this, Ms. Rebecca is walking around her living room with a microphone with a cord attached to it like she's doing stand-up. That's the microphone she got plugged into her computer, ladies and gentlemen. It's an old-timey radio microphone. Ms. Rebecca do stand-up, too, by the way, out there. Don't sleep on my doll now. Don't tell everybody. Don't sleep on my secret. Keep that here. We're going to keep that here.

Don't tell everybody my secret. Yeah, let her know so I can come heckle her wherever she is next.

That's all the time we have today on the Alley Oop. Thank you, as always, to my sister, Trista. Alley finna get some good scuba snacks soon because that Asia Wilson ticket is about to cash.

Man, that was a fun show, Juju. We'll have to... The next episode is going to be all MBA because by the time this episode airs, it's going to be raps for the Phoenix Mercury. We'll talk about Yannis and his ongoing saga to leave Milwaukee because we know he wants up out of there.

Sayonara, suckers. Sayonara.

Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during an ad reads like... Cuervo. I think it could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo. The tequila. That invented tequila. Roximo. Cuervo. Com. Please drink responsibly. Cuervo. Hey, audience, I got a special treat for you because I want to talk to you about Miller Light, but I want to talk to you about Miller Light with my good friend Rose. Hey, Rose. Hi, everybody. When we hang out, and we hang out often, we're friends. I consider us friends. Yeah, me too. We're often toasting the good times. And what am I toasting with? With Miller Light. That's right, Miller Light. Whether you're hanging out with your dear friend Rose or at the game day, it just hits different when you got a Miller Light in your hand.

From jaw-dropping touch downs to fantasy heartbreak, it's a beer that has been there for every moment. Fifty years of great taste, simple ingredients, and that iconic golden color that you can spot across the room. And it's just not the color of the beer, which is brilliant. That beautiful white can. How beautiful is that? Is that you doing the sound of a can opening? Yes. Is that your favorite sound? No, it is a horsey. A horsey? All right, we'll stop doing that. And here's a kicker. Miller Light is just 96 calories, 3. 2 carbs per 12 ounces. The original light beer since 1975. That's right. And still hitting different five decades later. You're so good at this, Rose. I know. So whatever your game day looks like, remember, Miller Time is always a good-Time. Look at us. We're a great tag team. High five again. Can you do that beer sound one more time? And the horse sound one more time? I regret asking you about that one, but the Miller Light sound is good. Miller light. Great taste, 96 calories. Go to millerlight. Com/janna to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer.

It's Miller. Time. Celebrate, respond, Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sin. 96 calories and 3. 2 carbs per 12 ounce.
