Bam, bam, bam! Welcome back to Good Follow Man presented by DraftKings Sports. I'm the kid Juju Gotti. Join with my sister as always, Trista Crick. How are you doing today, sis?

00:00:56

Oh man, I'm so glad to be home, Juju. It's been a long, long journey. We were at All-Star Weekend turning up in Chicago. Teaspoon got the win. JJ, Jonquel Jones, Juju was 50 to 1, 50 to 1 to win All-Star MVP. She did that, right, bro?

00:01:15

Surprised the hell out of me. I would have never thunk or thought, especially Caitlin. She had that look in her eyes early. I was like, oh, sis going for the 50 tonight and the MVP. Yeah, yeah, bro. How you feel about it? What stood out to you the most about the All-Star Game, from the All-Star Game, goofy or not?

00:01:33

All right, so skills challenge, I thought, showcased how fucking good Azzi Fudd is as a shooter. Like, you listen, she's one of them ones, you put the ball in her hand and it's coming off the exact same way, like it's made out of machinery. And it doesn't really matter who you put up against her. I really do wish that Sabrina Ionescu was in that as the defending champ. I really wish Caitlin McBride was in that as one of the best 3-point shooters in the league. I really wish Caitlin Clark was in that. So imagine Azzi Fudd, Caitlin Clark, Sabrina Ionescu, Caitlin McBride. Chat, why didn't we get that?

00:02:08

Salute to that. That, that was the highlight of the weekend to me, the skills challenge and seeing Big Edd back. Oh my goodness, draining half-court jumpers. Ha, take this one. Ha, take this one. Time, here go another one. Like, bruh, that was fire as hell. But I got something to say, man. This is my— I got something to say at risk of being the bad guy, you feel me? WNBA, yes, all the players, whenever I say something good about y'all, y'all don't never come and be like, thank you, bro, I appreciate it. Y'all ignore that, so ignore this shit too. The All-Star Game, man, Y'all boys need to take a page out of Unrivaled book, man. This shit boring. I'm so sorry. This is the most boring game I have ever watched in my entire life, and I got to act like I give a damn. Hell no. We need to clean this up now. And I'm talking about NBA and WNBA. But that thing boring as hell. What say you? Am I tripping?

00:03:08

No, I think you're right. I mean, but how do you fix it? I don't know. Are we doing Team USA versus Team World again? Like, That's starting to become more of a reality as the international players start to come to play. Like, you got the Gabby Williams of the world. You got— I mean, even to a degree, you could put Sabrina in that role if she was ever going to be an all-star ever again, which we're not sure with her back injuries. But like, yeah, it feels like they don't really care. Oh, gay versus straight. Oh my God, I need gay versus straight.

00:03:40

See, now we talking. Now, are you watching that? Because I'm locked in.

00:03:43

Studs versus femmes. We got a straights and a gays. We got 3, 3 of them. We got straights and then we got stud gays and we got femme gays.

00:03:53

Or guess what? Let's go 2 on 2. One male from the NBA, one woman from the WNBA, tournament style. Winner gets $5 million cash tonight. Play for it. It's above the rim. You feel me? Something like that. Make it fun. Make it battle of the whatevers. But this product right now that I'm watching, When I'm watching Asia Wilson try not to even block my sister Angel shot and still get the block in the All-Star Game. I'm watching Ali Houston on the dome. That dome didn't give a damn about them damn alley hoops either. Nah, bro, come on now. We got too much folks in the building. Broke the record too, by the way, uh, attendance record. Salute. So I'm so sorry y'all had to watch that, bro. Matter of fact, let me call my sister Jess in. Jess, are you here today? Because I need your opinion on what I'm saying. What can we do to fix this?

00:04:43

Well, I think they need to bring back the 4-point line, first of all. Um, I think that was— the fact that the players didn't know that until like an hour before the game was crazy to me. Uh, and the fact that we didn't know that as fans was also crazy to me. So I think they need to bring that back. What about you?

00:04:59

Yeah, I like that, bro. Anything to improve it, man. We just can't sit here and do nothing though. But the story from the weekend, man, and I hate to do it too, DeeJanae dropped the bomb, the big bomb.

00:05:13

A big bomb.

00:05:15

I'm talking about the biggest of bombs. What you thought, sis, about that bomb? Was it a fair or foul bomb to drop, first of all? Second of all, since she put us in the business, let's be in it.

00:05:26

Let's be in it. You guys did it. Don't get mad at us just because we're commenting and reacting to what you put online. I wasn't asking about DeeJanae and Nalissa's relationship over All-Star weekend. You decided you were gonna bring it back up. It was old. This is old shit. Secondarily, the thing that is getting lost that I need to make a video on— thank you for reminding me so much. Yes, like, okay, you've got all these different storylines, which is like, number one, Nelissa cheated with some G-Leaguers. Hilarious. Number two, Nelissa ended up on the same team as her ex-girlfriend's new girl, which she hard launched. We already kind of knew they were together anyway.

00:06:07

That's two.

00:06:08

Like, number 3, Nelissa goes on the chat and says like, who cares who was cheating on who, which means you were cheating on her. Number 4, you did that shit.

00:06:18

Whatever they say you did, you did it.

00:06:21

Number 4, she's out sick the next game.

00:06:25

Sure.

00:06:25

Number 5, she's posting from the hospital bed with the IV.

00:06:31

My bad, I'm not laughing. As a matter of fact, Get well soon, bitch. Get well soon.

00:06:38

Felt like Gemini to me. I don't know. And but number 6, the biggest thing that no one is talking about— I've heard all this, but what is like the biggest news flying under the radar is how does Nelissa Smith have this crazy pull to pull Dijonae, Aliyah Nye, and Deja Kelly. These are 3 of the hottest femme lesbians in all the WNBA, 2 of which I think she brought over to the gay side. Damn, she recruited 2, 3 actually. Dijonae said, I've never been with women before and I'm not even gay, I only like Melissa. Post-Nelissa, she's telling men, I don't fuck with XY chromosomes. She turned 3 women hotties all the way out, Juju.

00:07:33

Look, man, when you got it, you got it, man. It's called charisma, man. I ain't never seen— ain't nobody ever accused Nelissa of not being him.

00:07:42

And you pulled them—

00:07:43

you pulled 2 of them when everybody knew you were with Dijonay, and Dijonay's scary as fuck, and they were still like You know the best part of this too, by the way, sidebar, and we're gonna go to Jess to see how you feel about this. I cannot believe God has blessed us with Aces versus Sky this Saturday. Yeah, appointment television.

00:08:09

What I think is that All-Star is for the gays, and we love the relationship drama. We have all the positivity from Gabby and Marine, which I love. You know, Gabby shouting out, oh my God, All-Star! Marine, uh, warms my heart.

00:08:24

And then Gabby did the one leg on the first try. Or Marine. Incredible. Love is— I love love. I love love.

00:08:33

You know what, speaking of loving love, okay, we gotta talk about Megan Gustafson. Gustafson, whatever.

00:08:40

Gustafson, AKA now Meg DeLeo.

00:08:44

Yes. So she got married in the middle of the season and she changed her name immediately.

00:08:51

Yeah, man.

00:08:52

We love love. We love love.

00:08:54

We love love. But you got me.

00:08:55

What do we think about this?

00:08:57

I'm not buying a second jersey.

00:08:59

That's what I'm saying. How do I say that delicately? Like, it's Nike. Gonna take this Gustafson back because she don't play for them no more. I want the DeLeo.

00:09:08

They got to do like the patch, like where you can bring your jersey in and then they trade the patch on the back for you.

00:09:13

Exactly. I think it's just screen printed.

00:09:15

See what I'm saying? I think you being a Portland, a Portland soldier, I think you have to lead this charge. You got to somehow get word to Meg that, hey man, it's a whole bunch of us out here with Gustafson on the back of our shirts. What can we do? What can we rectify? You got, you got $100 on it I can borrow?

00:09:32

Bam, bam. Like, I'm about to just change the back of the jersey to Pancake.

00:09:38

He might as well. Pancake will be around.

00:09:40

I know, like, as much breakups and makeups, the one thing I know is that she's keeping that corgi. That's the one thing I do know. I, I feel like Juju It's a little narcissistic to change your name in the middle of the season and expect everyone to just roll with it on July 20th. And like, from now on, don't even make a mistake. Don't call me Gustafson.

00:10:04

Well, Trista, you had that firsthand experience. You just had an all-pass with the Fire. Major congrats, major congrats. But you had to deal with this.

00:10:13

You had to deal with the DeLeo change, and she was the leading scorer for the Fire. So I had to say Galeo's name fucking a million times. And I'm like, I don't wanna do this. This is her get back game against her former team. She cried the last time she played the Aces. Yes, she did. 'Cause they didn't value her. She was like, man, they were sleeping on me when you're playing behind Asia. And it's like, man, I would feel better if it was a woman's name, to be honest. The fact that it's a straight relationship and the fact that it's a man that plays basketball and you took his name the middle of the W season, in the season of gays. I just didn't like it.

00:10:49

Yeah, I like to remind everybody in the audience right now too, we're comedians, you know. We're going for the joke here. We're not serious. We love Meg and her new man. Salute to you, brother. Don't be watching this with you biting your bottom lip, bro. Calm down, man.

00:11:03

I'm just kidding. I love love, and I love— I'll continue to say DeLeo, but the jokes are right there.

00:11:10

00:12:32

But speaking of Rams, right by the rim, by the way, We are right by the mid-season, which means trade deadline is here, and I'm hearing a whole bunch of stuff. Jess, what you hearing?

00:12:46

Well, I'm hearing Kelsey Plum doesn't want to stay with the Sparks.

00:12:50

I'm hearing that too, bruh. Trista, what you think?

00:12:53

Uh, that one I was at the All-Cast last night was apparently shocking to those within the Fire organization. I was like, where have you been? The Sparks, the Sparks are a nightmare. Yeah, go ahead. Put your name in that hat, go out and get Kelsey Plum, who's on a bum ankle. Uh, yeah, no, I, I felt like this was a long time coming.

00:13:12

Yeah, they say they gonna trade sis before Sunday, you feel me? So where, outside of Portland, where do you think she should end up? Like, what makes the most sense?

00:13:22

The Liberty.

00:13:24

3-team trade.

00:13:26

3-team trade. Send Sabrina Ionescu to Golden State.

00:13:31

Oh, I'm hurt. I'm actually hurt.

00:13:35

Send, uh, KP to the New York Liberty. Send Kayla Thornton and somebody to LA.

00:13:50

Somebody— oh, so now we gotta get that somebody.

00:13:52

No, this somebody is Pauline Astier. You go out and you get Astier, who is a nice young guard as you're rebuilding. This Sparks team needs picks. You probably need to attach a pick, uh, someone.

00:14:04

Why is New York gonna give up Astier?

00:14:07

Because KP is one of the best bucket getters on planet Earth.

00:14:12

All right, all right.

00:14:13

When she is healthy, watch her. Me and Juju watched firsthand KP fry right baseline on, on, uh, unrivaled finals. This is true.

00:14:29

But KP and Sabrina are both major ball handlers.

00:14:33

Yeah, that's why.

00:14:34

So that's why you put like, oh, you want Sabrina to leave the Liberty? That's gonna hurt me, Trista.

00:14:38

She goes, she goes back home to play for the Bay Area. Yes, she said she would never leave the Liberty until they won a ring. Sorry, sis, you got it. The only person that's hurt is Jonathan Colburn. Baby, you will be okay.

00:14:51

And Jessica will be hurt.

00:14:53

And Jessica You don't like KP? Wow.

00:14:56

No, I love KP, but I love Sabrina.

00:14:58

Sabrina can't stay on the floor, Jess.

00:15:00

I know, neither can KP right now. This is true. That's a lot to give up for, like you say, a person on the bone leg or the bone knee, you feel me? Because Astier, I think that might be enough. Send Astier and some cash. A salute to, uh, everybody involved. Satu, I don't know how much you got left in your legs.

00:15:19

Yeah, maybe Satu, maybe it's Satu.

00:15:22

You feel me? But hey, who else but— oh, Nafisa Collier, bruh. They talking about they might ship sis off in fear of losing her to next year because of contract up.

00:15:36

What I heard, Juju, is that Cheryl is shopping her.

00:15:41

Well, you guys did say early on this season that this might happen, that you thought there was some sort of situation going on between Fee and Cheryl.

00:15:51

What I would do, package Lamb and a pick for Nafisa Collier.

00:15:57

Oh, in Dallas!

00:15:59

And have her in Dallas with Jess Shepard, back to reunited Paige, AZ, Arike comes off the bench, and now we are cooking with fucking gas, bruh.

00:16:13

I'm scared.

00:16:13

You know, a trade, both teams have to agree to this. I'm pretty sure Minnesota is not going to give a damn about no Lamb Lambman coming back, but we need, uh, Lambman was DPO.

00:16:25

Listen, Lambman was DPO. Why you didn't give a fuck about Jess? Lambman was DPO. Why with Cheryl? She can get that back out of her. You give her a first round pick, maybe you give her a young player as well, and, and I feel like, ooh baby, if I'm the Lynx, keep Lambman.

00:16:44

That's between y'all and Lambman. That little million dollars y'all gave her Now, is we gonna start talking at AZ? That's what we start talking. All right, you'll lose something that's gonna hurt you. Well, oh, oh, or we just ain't got to do business with Dallas. I see you, Dallas. Salute. Uh, but, uh, any other takers out here? I'm really scared.

00:17:01

What about Toronto?

00:17:03

Toronto, LA, you feel me? I'm talking about sis want to win because this still— she ain't— this is Queen Fee, so I imagine her being one of the recipients of that package you said earlier. Sabrina, Pauline, like, she's gonna demand that type of—

00:17:18

Valkyries, if the Valkyries got Nafissa Collier, they'd win a title tomorrow.

00:17:24

Yes, 1,000%, 1,000%.

00:17:28

Send them like Solon and Rupert.

00:17:34

Rupert is Rupert.

00:17:36

And I think Minnesota would love that. You end up not losing Fee for nothing, and it's Gabby and it's Chen and it's Fee and our girl Veronica Burton. Maybe you send Veronica Burton there. I would hate to see that, but listen, now they need her. They need her. But Fee though.

00:17:55

But look, before we get out of here, man, I'm gonna just go ahead and say this, you feel me? Because I don't like to say this too much, but if y'all want to come to a team where, you know what I mean, you ain't got to worry about the owner all in your videos, you ain't got to worry about the GM talking all in your post-game interviews, news. Come down to Atlanta, man. It's very fresh down here. We about activism. You remember we got Loeffler the hell up out of here? That's us. You remember we fought for change? Warnock? Yeah, that's us. Remember we got Renee Montgomery? Still same, same folks.

00:18:28

What are you giving up, pal?

00:18:29

What am I giving up? Unfortunately, now we talking about fee. We talking about fee.

00:18:35

Anything you want.

00:18:36

Medina Okai, I'm so sorry, you are a GOAT. Been like a young goat too. But you, ma'am, seem to be one of the things they could use up there with Olivia Miles as well as— look, my little sister, bruh, I don't want to— I don't want her to go nowhere but to Hina Pow Pow, you know. I'm not—

00:18:54

I'm not salary match. What about the salary?

00:18:56

You're gonna match that salary at this last one because this last one gonna hurt. This last one gonna hurt like, like a mother trucker. Brie Jones. Wow.

00:19:05

I can't believe that you just said that.

00:19:07

I mean, I'm not saying this is— we talking about Nafisa Collier.

00:19:09

That's true, that's true.

00:19:11

We need great people to get that great person back, you did. And so this is not a try to Bree Jones, it's not a try to Popeye, this is not a try to Medina Okot. This is a salute to y'all. Y'all, I love y'all so much. I think y'all can make fi.

00:19:27

That'd be such an interesting fit too. Because you got Angel there. Like, it doesn't feel Fi, but it kind of does feel Fi.

00:19:36

You feel me? I feel Fi, you dig it. Or it's gonna have to be somewhere LA, New York. It got to be somewhere big time for Fi. But it's now time for the DraftKings Sports Pick of the Week, presented by DraftKings Sports. Man, oh man, oh, it's this week we got them Fever going to Minnesota. Gonna Minnesota, it get cold like Minnesota. And guess what? For the first time in this whole season, I get to say these two words: we get to watch Nafisa Collier. 100%, keep your eyes on sis. And on the other side, hey man, Big Caitlin, she got that look in her eyes, man. So I might need you to keep eye on Caitlyn, but I'm pretty sure you already will. And man, them Lynx, they looking powerful. They getting it together. They're not even at full strength right now, but I'm still taking the Lynx to get the W in this week's game, man.
