Transcript of The Alley Oop: Cathy Gets BOOED?! Aces Dynasty Talk + Devin Carter’s HAIR + NBA Preseason Gamblers

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. Proximo. Cuervo. Com. Please drink responsibly. Cuervo.

I'm still joined by my illustrious co-host, Trista Crick. How are you doing today? The Aces have done it. Dynasty, you can't deny it. The Dynasty. El Dynastole. Talk about what the Aces, this Aces team, winning three championships in four years, cashing in my sister's bet. Who? Asia Wilson.

I already took the money out. I already took the money out. Sorry, DraftKings, you're not getting a cent. Reput into your betting account. Because I know that I will use it and I will lose it. And that's just what they want me to do. So no, I already deposit that back in, that baby in. I think what's fascinating to me is how they really were done. You know what I mean? They really were not the same team. They move on from Kelsey Plum, they bring in Jules Lloyd. I actually, to start the year, thought that could be an upgrade just based on what we know Jules Lloyd has done in Seattle. And then it felt like Jules maybe just needed to get her swagger back, or maybe her age was starting to catch up to her. She chooses, asks to come off the bench, and then things change. But Asia was primarily the only one that was doing anything offensively other than Jackie Young. It was just those two. And outside of that, it was just very anemic. But they trade for Melissa Smith, which I think made a lot of help for Asia, and then getting slapped into the mouth by the links, I think, really woke them up.

But I don't want to act like we were all wrong to be concerned about a team that was seven. It is teetering on the edge of missing the playoffs altogether. What we've seen is probably Juju, one of the greatest turnarounds in basketball history. And a dynasty, a team that's won multiple championships, they can always do that. That's what the Warriors did. They were done. They made some tweaks. They get Jordan pool, which I guess is different than Jewel Lloyd, but you know what I mean? Like another bucket getter. And then the chips go right for them, and they win again. But I'm not necessarily going to say... Because the Aces, I don't know if you saw this, they took a bunch of good follow clips from Roz and a bunch of other podcasts. They called them done. Damn. Yeah, they keep their receipts.

And I'm sorry, the Aces, your time is over.

You're a team that can beat the bad teams but can't beat the good teams. Maybe you're just not a good team. What are the Aces right now? I think what you just said, not a good team. Rooz, is the Aces dynasty over? Honestly, probably yes.

Young stops.

Puts, hits, puts the foul. Jackie on takeover.

But gray underneath gets it to go on a foul. Gray, what a dish. Ten assists now for gray.

I see them being at the middle of the pack at best. The Las Vegas aces may end up in a situation where they may have to consider trading the agent Wilson.

Wilson, the feed.

You bet. You bet.

Wilson, feeding and hitting.

But they were done. They were done.

Bro, they need to take some clips from the alley U. I believed in them the whole time. They asked me midseason. I was like, Bro, they going to get it together? They asked Ms. Rebecca. I know she's lost I don't have this record. Matter of fact, never mind. They don't have the records. Ms. Rebecca, I love you. I'm right here.

Mama Scott shoot. Yes, I can validate that.

Why didn't you send our clips to the Aces?

Via Snalebell?

How would I do that? I don't think she knew. I don't think she knew that they even said that. And if you're going to do it, I said that you all were done on the let her shoot and probably also on the alley-oop. But you were. If that 53. When you win, it doesn't happen from the links, and you don't have Asia Wilson talking smack to the team, being like, Yo, if you're not ready to come and compete, then you need to leave. Becky Hammond looked like she was about to have a coronary all season long. I just think it's wrong to be like, See? We had it this whole time. You all just didn't recognize. But they're tremendous. Jackie Young and Asia Wilson, as a duo, need to stick together forever.

When you win Championship, though, you can celebrate how you want to celebrate. Yeah, you can. You want to make a video? Make a video. Speaking of videos, Cathy, Ms. Cathy got up there and presented the trophy to the aces after the game. Ms. Rebecca, if you have this video, this is the loudest boo I have ever heard in recent history. Take it away, Ms. Rebecca. Davis.

To present the trophy for YouTube TV here WMBA Commissioner Cathy Inglebart. Boo. Thank you, Holly. Well, we're here today to celebrate a champion.

Look.

Thank you to all the fans. Phoenix had a great run to get here.

This is a polite one.

I just want to congratulate the Aces on a performance, 2025 WMBA champion. Look at Asia.

Sheesh. Look, and the video from the inside the arena was even worse, bro. You couldn't even hear her microphone no more. I'm talking about the loudest boo. I think Cis might need to go ahead and tender her resonation just to help herself out. What you think?

I think the other boos that are, I guess, rival is the boo that we all have tongue in cheek where it's Roger Goodell at the draft. But that's a shtick. This was a legit impromptu F-U boo. Then they asked Asia and the rest of the aces like, Hey, would What do you think about your Commissioner getting booed? And they were laughing. They were giggling at her. There's no love lost. It's one thing when the fans don't like you. It's another thing when you're getting bullied by the fans and the rest of your colleagues that you are in business with. They're like, Yeah, do you see her get booed? Oh, man, damn. That was a cold piece right there, but she deserves it.

Yeah, she deserves it. Do you predict the lockout? Are we going to see any WMBA in the near future, or is it going to be locked out?

I'm going to say this. I said, locked out. They won't let me play. No. I think we get a lockout, but I also think we have games start on time. Okay. So I think from now, when the expiration of the CBA happens, which is in, I think, two weeks, till April, I think there's no deal done. I think we get a deal done in the final four or the elite eight. I think we're waiting. So that means free agency. I don't know what happens at that point. Do you sign the deal? You're not going to sign the deal until you're going to get new money. That's why they're all free agents. So you may have free agency last until... We might not have rosters until April. That's what I think is so crazy because it's like 80 % or something crazy in terms of the available talent that can change teams. So that's the part that really is interesting is that these rosters aren't set, and they might not be set until two weeks before the season. So it's going to be chaos even if there is a season.

Right. If the roster is set or not, I know one damn thing. The Atlanta Dream still charging my account for these tickets on time.

They already charged you?

Bro, tomorrow is the day he sent me the email. Hey, bro, just happy to have you back for the 2026 season. I'm about to leave Corso. It's behind. Not so fast, my friend.

What? What, dog? I'm not paying you until I know we have a season.

Exactly. What are we doing?

That's crazy to me, Juju. More people need to know that they're asking for season ticket money right as the season ends for the next season.

In terrible fashion, too, against a fever. I'm not going to bring it back up because it's painful. But, yeah, bro, get it together, man. At least have a season Listen, on the docket before you start texting my package.

Listen, Juju, do you want to post up? I think what we should do is we should plan a couple of weeks. We post up at the Metalark Hotel, and we get season unrivaled tickets. Those are the tickets I'm ready. Those are the tickets I'm ready to see. They'll put us up in sweet fashion for no money. We'll hang out. We'll do DLS. We'll be the unrivaled correspondence. What do you think about that?

I'm locked in. I like it.

Because we know that season is going to happen.

Oh, yeah. That thing going to happen no matter what. It's already going to happen the year after that and the year after that. They're getting money over there in the MIA. But moving on real quick because WMBA season is over now, and we got the NBA season coming around that mountain when she comes. So I'm going to ask you a way too early question right now. Who is winning the NBA Championship this year coming up?

Oh, man. Juju. What I will What I say is this. It's really hard to repeat. It's really, really hard to repeat. I think the Thunder will win 67 games this year. But a team that I think is not getting nearly enough respect, and I think probably people who are in the know are giving them respect, but the casual fans are not, is the Denver Nuggets. What the Denver Nuggets have done, first of all, they took the Thunder to seven. And in game either five or six, I forget which one it was, Denver was up 10 points in the fourth quarter, and they just melted in the sun. And the Thunder found a way to win that game. There's a realistic chance that Denver, even as shallow as their team was last year, could have gone to the finals. You add Bruce Brown back into the mix, Brucie Brown, Brucie B, as Michael Malone used to call him. You add another center because the on-off minutes for Jokić have been horrendous in Jonas Valentina. They said, Take your ass away from Greece. You're coming into this team and you're going to play. You get Cam Johnson, who I think Kam Johnson is going to change everything about this team.

A lot of people think it's just a better Michael Porter Jr. They don't play the same at all. He's an incredible passer. He cuts without the basketball a lot, and he's going to open things up for the perimeter.

Impeccable Afro, too.

Impeccable Afro as well. And then you have Tim Hardaway Jr. Off the bench who's going to provide some much-needed shooting-I forgot about him. And rotation buckets. So They really made a lot of changes. Then you also have Holmes, and he's coming off that ACL. He was awesome in Summer League. So there's a lot, or Achilles, I forget which one. But there's a lot to like about the Nuggets, and I think it's going to make things a lot easier for Denver. They could be the two seeds. So for me, it's Denver. Who is it for you?

I hate when this happens. This has never happened before on the alley, but I guess the Denver Nuggets as well, because I'm looking at Joker. I'm looking at how he almost got that team, Michael Porter Jr. In that weak-ass shoulder. That team, Russell Westbrook shooting on and off. He might hit you five in a row. He might hit you zero out of 10. That team almost went to the finals last year. So you take those things away, as well as the coaching confusion and all that noise that was surrounding them. I think they are poised. Who dare I say, especially with my Celtics out this year, for sure, I'm going with the Nuggets.

Yeah, I like that. And then, real quick, not to pile on too much, but listen, you still have players that stepped up for the Nuggets that are only getting a year older that Michael Malone didn't want to play that much. So you talk about the Julian Strahlers of the world, and he had an awesome game.

So there's just-Impeccable Jerry Curl drip.

Impeccable. He does. And so there's a lot of young players, as you look at them, Christian Brown, I didn't mention, right? You also have Payton Watson right there. You've got now a team that was really not deep at all and a team that is super deep, like 9, 10, 11 deep. And that's how you compete with the thunder, is when Shay's off the floor and they're having other guys play, you've got dudes that can give you buckets like Tim Hardaway. I think it's going to be them. I really do.

Yeah. Speaking of buckets, our bucket getter, our main bucket getter over here is Ms. Rebecca Donahue, Dr. Rebecca Donahue. And we like to toss it to her for a segment called Bus Stop. First off, Ms. Rebecca, how are you feeling today, sis?

I'm doing all right, you two. I'm doing all right. How are you doing?

I'm doing pretty good. How was your weekend?

It was okay. Where are we going Where are we going?

I like to get the audience up there. He's stalling for you.

He's stalling. She's stalling.

She's saying, Look, she don't know what to do.

He doesn't even know the type of wizard dream that Juju. And here's the thing, Ms. Rebecca, when he's asking you these things, you need to be furiously getting the clips up.

What the fuck is your like?

Mama does that part. Because you're standing there. Where's this going, Juju?

It was actually an okay weekend. That means yo. How about that?

She's just sitting there frozen. Where is it?

I got a video. God, we're going to have to bleep Cuddle.

Just play whichever video you got first, Ms. Rebecca.

He's a good one.

He's not even asking much. Just something.

Oh, my goodness. We love our friends at DraftKings 100 %. Always.

We rep for DraftKings.

Exactly. Draftkings users always pay attention to the small print below. If you have a gambling problem, please dial Hope NY.

1-800 Hope NY.

Right. Play the video, Ms. Rebecca.

Come on, Pablo. I need two more points, homie.

Two more points, you care about Paul A.

Listen, I won every day since Sunday.

Preseason, but we're late. I won every day since Sunday, bro. Get him out of here. Ban whoever that is from the arena. First of all, you're betting on preseason basketball. You, sir, need to to go to a meeting or two. I'm not going to put you in counseling, but just take a brochure for the meetings. And then you're going to have the nerve, the audacity to bother Paulo with that need two points. Now, if I'm Paulo, I ain't giving you them two points. I don't give a damn about your bet. How you feel, sis?

I just think, and we're not even talking about betting preseason games. You're betting preseason player props? Are you insane? These players are only playing one half of basketball. We don't know what the rotations are. Are you out of your mind? And I know you got money. Feet are on the floor. Feet are there, able to tackle Palo to get two points. What are we effing doing here? Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my goodness. I'll tell you what we're doing. Boys, stop. To whoever that is.

Come on, boys, stop.

And you recorded yourself doing that goof ball.

That's the worst.

Goofball behavior. Are you dumb? Get them out of here. Next video, Ms. Rebecca.

He's chasing that poor guy like a payday loan.

Right.

He may not even actually have a player prop. He might just be doing that for the clout. Boy, stop.

Boys, stop. Yeah. Okay, I got one here for you. This is my question.

Okay.

Why can hoopers not tie their shoes, people? It's like an epidemic. Just tie your kicks. You normally see one. Have you ever seen it? I mean, this is both shoes.

Oh, wow. Did the shot go in? Oh, the shot did go in. Oh, my goodness.

No, it fell out literally on the contest. And literally, the part this boy stopped is also the contest. What are we doing? What are you contesting like that for?

You almost snapped your whole-Put your hand up.

Listen, that's how I tore my high ankle and my low ankle is trying to contest. You step on someone's shoe, you roll your ankle like LeBron did when he had that high ankle sprained, and you're screaming in pain. You're in a boot for six weeks. Listen, your entire life has been changed because you thought you were going to get the block. Boy, stop. Absolutely not.

I think you buried the lead right here. How the head did you tear your high ankle and low ankle at the same damn time? I was wondering why you always wear high top shoes.

Oh my goodness. There's a lot of cancle injuries. A lot of cancle injuries. Man. Well, first of all, people are wearing the Jordan 13s out there to play pickup. So the size 15, Jordan 13, my little foot steps on it, rolls off. It rolled down and out. Down is the high ankle, out is the low ankle. Jesus. It hurts so bad. They said, You should have broke it. You are so screwed.

You would have been better out breaking it, I don't like it.

That's what they said. I was in a PT for six months. Voice up.

Damn, bro. The next voice stop. I'm going to request this one. My brother, Devon Carter.

Come on, I was hoping for this one.

Brother, you have to know when it's time to come home. Ladies and gentlemen, if you have a friend out there that needs to come home, let them know. Don't let them go out of the house like this. What is happening, brother?

Does he not have a girlfriend or a sister?

I know he got money.

To try to brave it back First of all, have you seen those Instagrams where they paint the rest of your head in? We didn't have that when we were kids.

I'm just saying, he got good plugs in Turkey. Why isn't he- Bro, Turkey ain't going to fix that, No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Bro, I might need to go to Napa. Mr. Becky, he needs to do the full Carlos Boozer, where they literally paint your hairline in. I don't like Devon Carter as a person. He was mean to me when I met And so this absolutely gave me, tickled me pink to see my boy down bad like this.

I came up to him- Brother like Rudy Goldberg.

And I asked him if he had a black Air Force energy. I said, Listen, I I think that's the type of toughness that the Kings have. And he goes, I don't wear black Air Forces. Those were the Tiffany exclusives. And I go, Excuse me. Nobody's checking for the little Tiffany blue underneath. Boy, stop. Come home, shave it off. Kings fans hate you because you're not producing as a first-round pick. And you got pissy energy. I think I can say pissy. I don't know if that can get ble.

Well, that's why his hair fell out. He dissed our girl there.

Listen, the Lord don't like... Listen, Lord don't like ugly. You out here acting ugly before you even play one season game in the NBA, not even a real rookie yet. You've been in the league for a cup of coffee, and you've lost your hair like your 14 years in the league, Devon Carter, you're getting caught. That's right.

You don't mess with the coven. This is what his hair look like.

Listen, before you talk to Trista, this is after Trista. Yes, it is. Before the besmirch, after the besmirch.

Look, the besmircher is back on duty. We started out talking about this man hair. She talk about, King's fans don't like you. I don't like you. Your sister probably don't like you.

The radio show that covers the team don't like you. We all revel in your harm.

Shoes, whack. Fighting stance, whack. Car, whack.

Three-point shot, whack. Literally, they asked me... Okay, somebody asked me, not to bring it back to the W. If any WMBA player, if Asia Wilson, actually, I think it was Asia Wilson, If Asia Wilson could be any NBA player one-on-one, three dribble max. And I said, I went around with some names. I think she could not beat Ryan Archie DiAcano. He's got bounce.

But I-Archie, hold on, wait. How do you say that last name again?

Ryan Archie DiOcano?

I think it's Archie O'Do. But neither here nor there. Keep going.

Anyway, the name that we all settled on was Devon Carter. Come on.

You all are trying the hell out of this. He cannot shoot.

He cannot shoot. His jumper's broken. And for a guard, that's a tough look.

Look, salute to Devin Carter Jr.

Trista, stop. It's really... Girl, stop.

Stop messing with this man. I don't know, bro, because he's still the son of an NBA player. And his dad was super athletic with the Nuggets. I think he got athleticism in his blood.

He doesn't have hair jeans in his blood. Grandpa did him wrong.

He He should take it from his dad because his dad played ball most of his career.

Wasn't his dad bald, though?

He had bald. That's what I'm saying, he played bald head the whole career. I think it's a bet or a dare because ain't no way in hell, bro.

Ain't no way.

Well, yeah, man, that might do it for another episode of The Ali Oop, or as they call it in Cuba, Le Ali Hoop. I know you've been wondering, and yes, this is one of those ones right here sent me personally from L. Dan L. Lebitard. You feel me? D. L. S. Hoops jerseys. Available soon. Sooner than later. I'll just say that.

Can I get one? Before they're available, can I get one?

Absolutely. Absolutely. You can get one. Come on now. In the last words, Tristan.

Come on home, Devon Carter. Come on home.

Yeah, I'm going to echo that sentiment. Come on home, Devon Carter. Also, Ms. Rebecca, I'm glad you had a great weekend. As always, thanks to Ms. Rebecca Donahue and my boy Dylan with the D's.
