Dead, but nine lives. So eight more times to be curious when you think about it that way.

I'm going to share location with you. Okay. And I'll let you report where I'm from. Okay. Okay.

It says right now that you're in Moscow, Russia. What the hell? It says that you're in the same room as Trump and Putin right now.

No, that's not true.

It's not true. Oh, you're by the beach.

That's what I'm saying.

Wow. You're right by getting you. G-d-y-n-i-a, bro. That's crazy that they start a word with four consonants.

Shower, shower, hotel, hotel, team dinner. My second job.

Well, welcome to the Pat-Pab pod, the second job. They shut the lights off on you?

Motherfuckers, get out. You all here too long.

Who is in charge of that? Is it a maintenance man?

No, it's probably some old man looking like Countdown, too. Like, three, two. Hit it now.

5:30. I have to be home.

Type shit.

I can't even hit a good Polish accent, honestly. So you're on the north side of Poland. You're in the North Pole right now. Right on- How about it? Oh, Israel since 1948. Interesting. That's a cool sweatshirt. Yeah. 1948. The So, yeah, the north side of Poland, right on the Baltic Sea. It's got to be cold as fuck up there.

That was what they said was one degree today when we landed.

Oh, that's nasty. That's brutal.

I also saw that the sun is...

It's setting at 3:00 PM out there or what?

Now, everywhere in Europe right now.

That's brutal.

I'm talking about you I look up, damn, I got to go to sleep. It's getting late. 4:35.

What's your thoughts on daylight savings time? Is it time we throw daylight savings time in the garbage?

No, I think it gives us something to be like, Okay, we gained an hour. It gives us excitement. It gives us something to be like, Oh, we gained an hour, we lose an hour type shit. But I don't think it really affects anything. What about you?

I don't like it being dark so early. I think that that's completely Be Pointless. Cheers. Bahan. Bahan.

May we show up to our funerals late, Ron.

Yes. Maybe. Here's to honor, and if you know what I mean. There's a place, there's a city right by you called Le Borc.

What's that? Put me on.

You got to get out to Le Borc. It's like LeBron, but Le Borc or whatever. It just seems like you're in a cool area right now, but I don't know if you even get to go out while you're in Le Borc, while you're in the North Pole. But what about happiness and fulfillment?

Yeah. Family, me kids miss me.

Do they?

Yeah, they do.

How do you get on the same page with them as far as communication? You're overseas. Is SPAG getting good grades?

So it's easier. My three o'clock in the afternoon It's like they're, I don't know, seven o'clock in the morning. So I'm there, whole wake up in the morning, brush teeth, school ride to school. So I'm on speaker in the car. Let's have a good day. Let's behave ourselves. Okay, we're playing word games. Okay, I'm going to have a good day. Okay, let's use another word than good. I'm going to have a great day. I'm in the car with them every morning.

What's your favorite Favorite part about being a dad?

Favorite part? My favorite part of being a father. My favorite part of being a father would have to be my past fuck-ups, my past decisions that I could have made. I could have went left, I should have went right. You know what I'm saying? I shouldn't have hung out with that friend. I should have hung out with that friend. I should have stayed with that girl. I shouldn't have been with that girl. So just my past fuck-ups. Not to don't do that, but to warn you. You have options. You have choices. You don't just have to dive in. So I don't know exactly what that name is, but- You can offer guidance that you didn't get. Yeah, wisdom and guidance. I agree that vibe.

Being able to give on wisdom and guidance. Fascinating because it seems like a very nuanced situation. Obviously, you're a quarter of the way around the world, but at the same time- I'm back home in about six days, though, Ron.

We got a little break.

Oh, you do? Amazing. Oh, you have a little midseason break.

Got like a 10-day break. I'm going to go to Chicago.

Okay, what's the plan?

Me and Spang going to go to Milwaukee Bucks versus Chicago Bulls game.

That's going to be a good one.

It'll be a vibe. Spang said that. Don't get angry. I'm not wearing anyone's jersey but yours. I say something, I wouldn't get angry at all.

Well, which jersey? He could wear the Bulls or the Bucks, Pat Biff.

I think he'll wear the Bulls one. I'm going to wear the Bobby Porter's I talk to him, sitting courtside.

Wow.

Go to Barstool. I got to go in there and record some shit.

Are you going to go in the Barstool office?

No, I am. I got to go back to work.

Are you going to pop up on them or do you want me to alert them?

You can alert them. It's cool. I don't know exactly what day, but I'm going to pop up in that bitch for sure.

For sure, bro.

Hop on somebody's shit, catch Bob. Then I'm going to go- Houston. Then I'm going to go Houston.

Kirstin.

Kirstin. Got to check on that big ass house in Houston, them big ass houses in Houston. And then I'm going to leave Houston and go to Cali. I'm going to try to catch that.

I'm going to try to catch that.

I'm going to catch that game. Magic. I think it's... Yeah, that Clippers game versus a magic. I think it's that Clippers game versus magic. A lot of traveling.

It'll be great to have you back in the United States. The continent misses you.

I know. I just hope my father won't try to keep me hostage and keep me.

It'll be hard, bro. You're going to have to be elusive. It'll be so interesting to see the Clippers up close and in person over there, because one, you could press Steve Ballmer about those 92 basketball courts that he owes you. And two, you could see James Harden in his new role as the lead facilitator for the Clippers.

And while we had- And my boy Big Zu.

I mean, Big Zu is an all-star this year, right?

Yeah, Big Zu been hooping. So shout out to Big Zu. Are we talking basketball this part? Or are we talking life?

I'll go either way. I was trying to dip toe in life and then transition.

We can stay in life a little bit.

I was going to go basketball. I was about to make the transition.

Oh, shit. You fucked me up. Good, good, good. I say that, that's all it is. Here we go.

I wanted to know about the fact that your perception of what James Harden is offering when We're still going to look at James Harden shooting percentage. And let's be honest, there's been a little bit of a dip, and I know that he's going to get a little bit more gravity with no Paul George and with no Kawhi Leonard, but still there's been a dip. How much of that do you attribute to the fact that he has been injured and that he is not the young man that he used to be, or the fact that he has all this new gravity on him? And will that get in the way long term of his ability to be what the Clippers need to make sure that they could be a threat long term?

First off, anybody that's over 30, it's a period you go through getting your legs back in the NBA. It's a period. Personally, I still think it's early. No, we ain't going to do that.

That's three fruit flies killed. Okay. Bro's got a genocide going in Poland like he's the H-Man. That's just history. That's just good history. That's just people learning.

It's still early in the season. It takes a while to... I mean, we've been on a pot last season. It takes a while for me to get my legs under me and stuff like that. So it's early. He has a lot on his plate. I think the dip, but it's also a game defensively. You've been seeing him in a lot clips defensively. Two, three blocks here, two steals here. People used to... He didn't play any deep. You can see him trying to do a little bit everything for that team. But the obvious thing is that I don't think people even understand He might be the best pick and roll basketball player ever. Statistically-wise, numbers-wise. Him and pick and roll, obviously, Luka Donchis is up there, but over a long period of time, James Harden, historically, is probably the best pick and roll basketball player to ever play the game.

So do you think that's why we're seeing Big Zoos numbers? They're basically running the entire offense through the pick and roll right now. So Big Zoos getting a little bit- One plus one is Zu. One plus one is Zu.

Yeah. You feel me? And crazy-ass sound. I learned so much from him as a teammate that now I'm playing pick and roll, and my pick and roll numbers are through the roof. Even when I played in the NBA, my points for possession and pick and roll were phenomenal also. Now, he the one He's the one in pick and roll. He's the one you want the ball in pick and roll. Under, so he can make the three. He can race it, go on left. Yeah, he's the mostly lead in pick and roll.

Interesting. I think the Clippers are going to be an incredible case study, and I'm going to let you choose your own adventure for this next one. Are we going to keep it in Los Angeles? I have a couple of other topics to talk about on the Lakers.

Let's stay in LA.

Let's keep it in LA, then. First, Bronnie has made his way to the G League. Do you think that JJ Reddick's usage of Bronnie to showcase him early and then put him in the G League was the best case for his long term development, or would he be better served on the big squad with the Lakers right now? And what's your overall prognosis through the first 10 games of Bronnie's existence outside of the college sphere?

So the game that he played in the G League, I believe the Lakers were at home also. And that's the fabulous thing with having your own G League team, planning in the place that you practice, the guys from the team can go and watch. Jj is there.

His little sister is there. It's still a family affair.

Family affair. Anthony Davis is there. Dilo is there. So you can still catch a vibe. I'd still agree with the take you made. He provides such an energy for LeBron that you want to keep him around also. But what's the word I'm looking for it. What a price for his development, though, at the same time. So it's like you balance it, too, because obviously, you would love for your son to be at the bench while you all planned in Cleveland for the first time. Where he was born. And you love for your son to be at the bench to give dad that motivation. But unselfishly, also, you want the kid to grow and get better, too. So I like what they're doing. I love what they're doing. I love the ability to play in the G League, to get his reps, to come up and be on the bench with the team. I think that's the fabulous thing about the G League. The G League, to me, is a phenomenal league. I came from overseas, and my first three games were in the G League with nick Ners. So that prepared me to get ready for the NBA.

So I think the G League is a good stepping stone for him right now.

One thing that I will say is I don't think that there's a lot of other second-round draft picks that are going to have Dilo, AD, LeBron Cron, JJ, all coming to see them play in the G League, which shows a lot of the gravity he has just as far as his Q rating as a celebrity.

The G League needs that.

The G League needs that. It'll be good for people wanting to come see his game.

It's a battle of both. You want him for the motivation for that, but at the same time, any place he go in a G League, that motherfucker will be sold out. But let best believe.

So are you saying that he'll get more- It's a royalty in the building. A hundred %. The prince that was promised.

But- Can you hear me?

Does he definitely get more development in the G League than he would with the Lakers, specifically with the way that JJ Redick is coaching, with the intensity with which he's coaching, with the way that I assume but don't know that he's running practices? Is there something to be said that maybe his development would be well-served if he has all these basketball minds around him, coupled with JJ Reddick's intensity?

I believe this, right? No, No one thing is good enough, right? We live in a world where if you can travel different places and experience different cultures, you become organically a smarter person based on what you're seeing. I don't think one place is good enough. I think Give them a little bit of everything. Give them plan time at the end while you up 20 or down 20. Give them all the minutes in the G League. Give them all the practice reps. Give them the preparation he sees dad and Dilo and Anthony Davis prepare for a game. Okay, cool. Give them G League. Okay, cool. I've seen them prepare for a game. Let me get my own routine and prepare my own game. Give them, okay, cool. I get to drive to a Laker game. Give them, okay, cool. I get to drive to a G League game. Okay, cool. Give me travel on a big plane with dad and it's wine. And guys are gambling over here and coaches got their laptops up. Jj Reddick and his staff, they're going through plays and let them get on the bus in the G League also. When they find a fucking North, Dakota, South Dakota and feel that grind.

I think the more he experiences everything, the better player I'll feel be. Damn, Ron, that was funny.

That was a really good answer. I'm pissed.

Shit.

This son of a bitch did it again.

The fuck? You did it again.

Of course, Pat Bam strikes again from Poland this time.

.

Truly remarkable. I'll tell you what, one thing that he is experiencing is a Big ass fucking house, dude. I saw the fucking picture of his house on a TikTok. Like, this is Bronnie James house, like a computerized voice. And it's a house that LeBron bought years ago, and it's got a fucking massage room and a movie theater. And it's More expensive than probably 90 % of the league's houses.

Yeah. And I'm going to tell you, motherfucker, who need to get his game right? His house ain't going to be there no more, Dilo.

Yeah?

Yeah, man. I don't think JJ Reddick is the type of coach that you don't want to get on his bad side, right?

He'll set you? Or he'll take your confidence.

Yes.

He'll take your confidence.

He'll take your confidence. And everyone can be... I don't give a... All NBA basketball players would be like, Yeah, my confidence ain't never shook. I'm cool. That's bullshit. That's bullshit. If you ain't the man on the team and you hit that bench, that what? Listen, who said this the best? I think it was Coach K. Was it Coach K?

I just had a dream about him.

Bob Knight or the coach from Arkansas, 40 Minutes A Heal. It's no better teacher than that bench. It's no better teacher than that bench, right? And I understand. When I read, I listened to the interview with JJ Reddick, and he talked about Dilo's demeanor. That is so Dilo.

Recap what he said about his demeanor.

Just not a playful demeanor, but you could be better than that. Just you can be better than that. You could take a better shot than that. You don't have to rush that. You don't have to been a tenet of defensively. You don't have to do that. You don't have to just take the easy way back. You can be better. So I think that was more of with What the conference was about. And you see the passion with JJ because he knows it in his mind. He's like, come on, fucking. I know you. You've shown it. You've shown me you can be great. Consistently over and over. I need you to be better. And that's what you want from a coach. But also, you don't want to keep making those same mistakes with a Coach like that also, especially in the first year who's trying to win a ton of games.

But don't you think that JJ Redik is almost learning in real-time what everybody has always said about NBA NBA players that when you're coaching, you can't have the same intensity that you would at a high school or a college level because these guys are getting paid so much money. They have these egos, and no amount of smashed clipboards are going to change D'Angelo Russell's personality and his composition as a human being.

But him being in TV and being able to see games up close and personal, he already has done his homework before. So if he's seen Dilo and able to get best out of Dilo, and he see him, I don't know if it's half-ass or not living up plan to its potential, of course, the coach is going to say something. The issue with this, though, this is the issue with really good coaches. They make a change like that. You go to the bench and it works. You stay on the bench. That's the thing, right? That's what you have to understand. If it works, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Dilo came off the bench. I think he had one of the highest plus minuses the next game. They won, and he scored a ton of points. Now, if I'm coach, I'm, Shit, let's run this Try it again.

It works, yeah.

But now you're on a bench all because of... You didn't not live up to your potential, but that day, you didn't give 120 %.

I You don't deserve that. Yeah, but I think that there's also a difference in knowing what a player needs to do to be successful and being able to get that out of him. Because the analyst, JJ Redick, knows what D'Angelo Russell needs to do to be successful as far as where he needs to be on the court, his play style, his mental disposition. But also, does he know what buttons to press and what screws to turn to get that out of D'Angelo Russell? Because what works for JJ Redick might not work for D'Angelo Russell.

Yeah. I think you find that out between winning and losing. You win some games, everything's cool, everybody's happy, locker rooms light. The music feels that much better. The dinner tastes that much good after the game. You lose, you lose one. Okay, we get it back. You lose two, you lose three, you lose four. Now it's like, Hold on. Maybe we need to shake some shit up a little bit. Maybe the play where you shortcut it, maybe that's magnified on film now. As when you were winning, you shortcut it and you got back because you won. Now you're doing the same thing and you lose. Oh, no, you can't do that shit. Why the fuck? Who told you to do that type of vibe? And now it's like, damn, I did that while we was winning. What's the deal? I'm a basketball player. When I'm going to shoot around, I'm going to drench sweat. I'm going through this motherfucking full speed. Like, full speed. Like, Pat, relax a little bit. Like, no, fuck that. I got to get this rep. This motherfucking coach is watching me. None of that. I want to be on top of my shit so the game is that much easier.

So it comes to He's still in the losing also.

I think one player who has thrived under JJ Reddick is Austin Reeves.

But he a Hoover, though.

Well, one part of his game that I want to talk about is his ability to draw fouls as he's driving. And I that we've seen an uptick in his ability to draw fouls, his and ones. It seems like it's something that he's worked on, but it's something that he's perfected. Is that something that you saw in him early on, specifically that skill? If not, what do you think that he's done to be able to... I mean, it seems like a power to finish through contact. How do you hone that skill?

First off, I think I have to say this because I've seen it up close and personal. When it comes to IQ basketball players, AR, he's at the top of the list. When it comes to hardworking basketball players, young basketball players, AR, again, the top of the list.

And that's what JJ Reddick is going to fall in love with.

And when it comes to getting better, wanting to get better, watching film, knowing how to play basketball, again, AR is at the top of the list. From guys that I've been around, Bets, young guys, from guys I've been around ARs that you feel me? He ain't one, he ain't two, he ain't five, he ain't seven, but I've been around some studs. He up there, though. So if you mix all that together, you'll find some spots where you can manipulate the defense and, okay, cool, get some free throws. People don't understand this about scoring. The reason Steph Curry feels so good when he shoots all these fucking no look threes because he goes to the free throw line two, three times before. He makes two layups two, three times before. So there, the fifth shot, that's a motherfucking layup, the three He's going in a loop.

He's seeing it go in.

You know what I'm saying? And that's the same thing AR is doing, right? He's manipulating the defense. He's getting to the free throw line. He's making layups. Now, the jump shot feels so motherfucking good now. It feels good. So you got to give him a lot of credit. And every time I was in a gym, I see him feel handy every single time, every single time. So shout out to feel handy also.

And it seems like LeBron is enjoying his role as a passer this year. He just had back to back games with triple doubles, and he just passed LeBron James as the oldest player to have back-to-back games with triple doubles. He's tough, ain't he? This is breaking news, but LeBron James is pretty good at basketball.

He tough. I'm talking about beef jerky tough.

Like old beef jerky, though.

I'm talking about rubber band beef jerky. That motherfucker tough, man.

Like a steak from IHOP.

I'm talking about Rome. You got the beef jerking, and I'm in Polish. I got the other end of the beef jerky. That motherfucking ain't ripped. Tough.

Yeah. Oh, there's no rip in that. It's the way that he- He tough. Yeah, he's built that way. Old baseball glove.

Yeah, he tough.

Yeah, it's impressive. So we'll keep an eye on everything that's going on there in Los Angeles. All right, guys, let's take a second and talk about game time. Game time.

You got to be the coach from Cleveland, Kenny.

Our MVP of the week, brought to you by Body Armor, is Coach Kenny from Cleveland. What a job by Coach Kenny, and what a job by Body Armor. I mean, they're playing perfect right now. They're doing incredible things.

Get yours today at Walmart or a local grocery store near you. Meanwhile, we saw a little tet-tat-tet, a back and forth between the Greek freak and Jalen Brown. And he hit him with a too slow, which elicited a response from Jalen Brown saying that Yannish is a child, and all he cares about is affecting winning, which is what he does. Do you think that Yannish is trying to play the role that a guy like Pat would have played on the Bucks, where he's trying to, at one point, be the paper cut, and at the same time, trying to be the guy who scores a million points a game? You think he's taking too much on trying to be the instigator and the star player?

I think Giannis is Giannis, right? It was a time when people were like, Oh, he's too serious. It's a time when he was like, Oh, he's too loose. He's too funny. That don't affect his numbers, I tell you that. The no-look hand, the serious, the if you don't want to be here, you don't have to be here. That shit don't affect his basketball play. Because if you look on that motherfucking paper, every motherfucking game he done played, it's been at a high motherfucking level. It's been at an elite high level. He's He's been putting the ball in the basket. He's been going to the free throw line. He's been rebounding it. He's been defending it. He's been blocking it. He's been facilitating it. He's actually been facilitating more to get other motherfucking shots, and he's been dominant in the pain. Dominant dominant. I think he's only missed one game this season, so he's leaving it out there. So I don't think it's an issue with Yannis. Yannis is just trying to do what he can do, man. He's just trying to do what he can do. If I need to be the cool, funny guy for us to win, fuck it, I'm going to be it.

If I need to be the, Hey, fuck it, ain't no more fucking around. This is not a losing organization. I'm going to be that guy because that's the type of guy he is. He can go from both. So he's just trying to find ways to motivate his team to win. I respect him.

And I like he ain't taking no shit either.

Even when they're going through their little rough patch, Yeah, we play Bucking Boston. Yeah, my father caught an elbow. You caught an elbow. Yeah, we cool. Psych. Fuck you. We're not cool. Fuck you think this is. And I guarantee you when they play a game, yeah, Yana is going to be on his ass like back pockets.

Do you see where Jalen Brown is coming from at all?

I do. You know what I'm saying? I do. But hey, All right, my brother, shake your hand. So what? It's hoops. You better than me. I wouldn't even put my mother's hand out there. Yeah, you call Bo. So what? I mean, you know what I mean, you know what I mean, you know Bo.

Like, I could see you doing that move.

The No, I'm so locked in in the game. I wouldn't even entertain them up. But your elbow, you know it ain't on purpose. I'm not about to shake you. I ain't about to shake your hand, though. What you mean?

Yeah, it was manipulative in some ways. Elbows are flying around the NBA, though. I saw.

Pick Edent.

Yeah, they tried to hit E. E with the elbow, and he gave them the undertakeers there. Valentuna hit him with the...

Hey, what's the kid from Japan? We got to get him on a pod, bro.

Yuki? This motherfucker's a I ain't-I was literally practicing saying his name today.

He is fun to watch. He is entertaining. Do you hear me wrong? Entertaining.

He is entertaining. I totally agree with that. I was in a bathroom stall at Barstool. I was like, Bro, I know his name is going to come up, so I'm just saying his name over and over in the bathroom stall. I was like, Wait, is someone listening to me? Yuki Kawamura. Yuki Kawamura. Yuki Kawamori.

Yuki K.

Yuki K. Yuki K got his first points.

I'm fucking too.

People, I think, are more enthralled with his size and his presentation than his actual game.

He's been doing this since free season, throwing no looks. He's been impacting. He's been impacting. He's on the court. It's fun to watch. It's electrifying. It's exciting. I love it. I love it.

I love having a Japanese bro in the league. It couldn't just be Hachimura.

They're 11-11. They drill so much. They drill so much that all the moves that he's doing are all drill moves, spin movement to the fade, one leg, step back into the head as he pulled, get defensive the rebound, come back. Okay, get in the pain, step back to the tray. So, yeah, he confident, too. I like it.

Pure drill. The drill music, honestly. It's beautiful.

Let that drill music go. See what they doing, the motherfuckers? They getting motherfuckers life sentences, man. This shit getting wild, Ron.

Did you see a couple... When was it? A couple of years ago, Eric Adams was like, They need to ban drill music. Trying to ban the music. The mayor of New York trying to ban a genre of music.

I don't think it's doing us no well, Ron.

So you think we should ban drill music? I think it's the video games that are doing it. I'm joking, but that's like a tipper gore. That's like a old... Blaming the art for the lifestyle is crazy.

They say Lucifer was... He did well because he got people's ears. If you get people's ears, ears become what you hear become action. You talk about shooting them up, bang, bang, three, four people, and next thing you know, that's what you're doing, your homies, you all ride. It's tough. You are what you listen to.

Well, it's also there's a precedence on people being like, Well, you have to really live what you're rapping about. And so then people are like, Well, I want to make sure that I'm living what I'm rapping about, and that causes a never-ending cycle.

I've been hit with this challenge, right?

Nofap November?

Using foul language.

Really? Yeah.

My daughter's mom hit me with, Okay, you say you're a man of God, you say you're spiritual. How about you just take out all? I got a test. Not a test. I got a... What does she say? I have a...

Let's see if you can- You can challenge.

Right. I want to challenge you to not use profanity. So my question was, do I substitute mother F for mother freaker? Don't You don't even get your mindset to even say it.

I mean, Will Smith didn't have to curse in his raps.

So that's when I'm on. I want to challenge you to do the same, bro.

You've definitely cursed this episode.

I know, but I can't say subscribe to the- Pod. Feel me? Please subscribe to the pod. Is that not me? You know what I'm saying? Is Is it weird?

Well, I heard one time that God takes joy in what you take joy in. So if you take joy in saying profane words, then God takes joy in that. What's inherently evil about saying a word like that? That's a bad example for children?

It's a bad example for everyone, not just children.

Yeah, but why is it inherently bad? Who decided that those are the bad words? Is having sex different than fucking?

Yes.

And one is evil and one's not?

One sounds worse than it is, yes.

It sounds worse than it is.

All right, yes.

Well, where do you draw the line then? Is ass a curse word? Is damn a curse word?

Yes.

Is bastard?

Yes.

But isn't that just a technical term?

I No, but we don't use bastard as a technical term. We don't say, Look at that bastard sitting over there. We don't use it as that. You use this motherfucking bastard. You know what I'm saying? I think it's how I could use it also.

Yeah, but I think that sometimes when you limit people's usage of words, it gives more power to the word, and it makes it more dangerous than it actually is. Words are words, but I I don't want to take you off your path of readjustness.

I'm not even trying to turn over a new leaf wrong. Fuck it. No cursing. That's all I'm going to try to do.

No, I respect that. I think cursing for the sake of cursing is also passe.

I've also read that most people The most intelligent people curse more.

So why are they trying to dumb you down? It is an interesting thing to think about. So should I even- A kid, subscribe to the motherfucking pod.

And if you are kids, subscribe to the motherfucking pod. We mean no disrespect in our curse words. Kids, listen to your mother. Christmas is coming around.

That's right. Listen to your mother. And everybody should make their own decisions about what's best for them. What team do you think has the best package if the Bucks want to try to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo? I'm going to throw four of them at you.

No, we're not doing that. Greek ain't going nowhere, man.

What about the Nets? I mean, if he played in Brooklyn, that would be amazing for his brand.

I've been around Greek.

Well, the Rockets could offer a lot for him.

What Milwaukee has done for Greek and what Greek has done for Milwaukee, you talk about a perfect marriage.

You don't think that the Pelicans, if they offered Zion, Herb, and CJ on an expiring in five first rounders?

No.

The Thunder not giving up seven first rounders in Jalen Williams?

No. We're talking about a person who's in that category of positionless basketball. It's only a couple of them motherfuckers.

We'll sound off in the comments if you think that what you think the best... Did you get a fourth one? Fourth bug killed?

Didn't get them. That motherfucking fast.

Yeah, because he saw what you did to his friends. He's probably got anxiety right now.

He'll probably call this one home. He got us fucked up.

Yeah.

Pull it back up.

They're probably making some drill music about you right now. Relax. Patty Truck, clapping to fly. You know we're flying right by.

Cleveland Cavaliers, my old coach, Kenny Annex.

They have four all-stars on that team. Legitimately four all-stars.

Hey, Kenny is a really good coach, though. He does all the small things right.

Blink 182.

Pass, don't drive a drive. I'm talking about real cool, can talk to, demeanors great, players coach, swaggy as fuck. Kenny's great. Coach Kenny is great. He's great. He's a really good coach. He's a really good coach.

Here's my thing with the Cavs, though. It is hard for me to believe that they will be able to transcend in the playoffs and that they will be able- in the playoffs, don't they? That's what I'm worried about.

And I don't know- They load early, don't they?

That's what I'm worried about. They might be a two-seed, but I'm going to have such a hard time believing because I don't know if it's your dog factor that you talk about, but there is an element of killer instinct that I want to see. And I don't know if it's the fact that they don't have it on the wings or none of those players are just unconsciously, just a nasty mother freaker that you want to see. I don't What is it about the... What can take the Cavs and give them some teeth? What can give them an edge that'll be like, Okay, I'm scared of them. Not, I respect how well they've been playing. I'm scared scared of them.

I think their record. Your record puts fear in teams. It motivates some teams, but it also puts fear in They're like, Oh, shit. We're playing an underfeated team. So they can use their record. As I look at a lineup, it's not three guys on that team, and I'm like, Oh, he He's just a dog. He's a killer. He's a killer. No, they got some holes. They got some... I don't mean holes, like some bitch-ass motherfuckers. I don't mean that.

I mean, they got holes.

Holes. They're not the perfect team. They got Big man at the wing, but if you spread them out, they don't become big man. They got pick and roll guys. They got a small point guard who you can pick on in the playoffs and post up a lot. So it's ways you can beat them.

But it's also It's not just a small point guard. It's like a two that doesn't have enough size to fully cover for the small point guard.

Matchups are an issue in a payoff. You've seen it with Luka, and you've seen it with Jason Satem and you've seen it with Jalen Brown. You can't guard, your ass can't play. Who's off the bench that you love in the Cleveland Cavaliers? I like it. I like the coach. I love the coach. I love the players. I love Donovan Mitchell. Me, I fucking love Dementch. That's my dog. I love Jared Allen. I love Mobile. I love Darius Garland. But something has to... We're not going to do that.

I might care. That's five.

But it's something about them and them off the bench that I need to see a little bit more of.

I agree. I think that they're... But on paper, they're doing pretty much as well as they could, right? Right now. It's not like they've failed at anything, but it's just like, how do you give teeth? How do you make an animal from a herbivore to a carnivore, a meateater?

That's what comes with being really good, too. When you're really good, you get people like us who talk about, are they really good? Right now, they're perfect. Right now, they're perfect, and we have to respect them. We're looking for flaws inside a perfect team right now. I don't think that's fair to them. They're a perfect team right now. Right now, they are a perfect team. Right now, they have the teeth. Right now, they're biting the shit out of motherfuckers. Right now, they got all the motherfucking dogs. Right now, they got the matchup problem is on the point guard. Right now, they got a bench that we don't even know about. Right now, they are a perfect fucking team. So it's unfair for us to look for the down plays, even though we want to, even though a part of us is like, I don't trust these motherfuckers. But right now, they're perfect.

I think what we're looking for, really, is the tall task of who can beat the Celtics. Because the Celtics, as perfect as they are, the Celtics look perfect without Chris Stapp's poor Zingas. The Celtics look like Payton Pritcher might just pull it from 60 feet at all times and just- This man is your candidate for me by the idea. Fuck candidate. He's going to run away with it.

He fucking hoop. He cold. Any adult, he'll get up on it, he'll go on here, pick up, physical as fuck. I fuck with Payton Pritcher. I do.

Yeah. So it's like, what can you do to get on that level as far as other young players with whom we fuck? Jared McCain, 27 points. Very well-rounded.

But that's what happens in nick Ners' offense. I had 26, 8, 9 on the game. When the guys go down, It's a bunch of opportunity out there in nick Ners' offense. You're talking about a lot of confidence offensively. A crash to boards, shoot a ton of three, a lot of freedom. Just go hoop, we'll cover the rest type shit. So that's not surprising. And he has size, he can shoot it, he can get to the rack, he's fearless. He's his self. He's organically his self.

He makes great decisions, too.

Yeah, he's not a rookie trying to fit in. It's motherfucking in practice facility doing this.

Two days in the college, and I'm three lectures behind.

You know, all that little shit they be doing. A rock like Pebble. You're right, type So he continues to stay true to himself. His game will continue to speak for itself.

If I'm a Sixers fan- I'm not surprised. No?

No, I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. No.

I want to see him getting Kyle Lauery's minutes if I'm a Sixers fan. I think he gives you a better chance to win.

Don't do that. Come on, Ron. This man is a champion.

Yeah, well, so It was like John Havlicek, but I'm not lobbying for him to currently get minutes.

I know, but it's like, if I was on the sixth, you'll be saying the same thing then.

No, I wouldn't.

You get his ass. Come on, man. That's an old motherfucker No, Papier, man. No, man.

I didn't say anything about age.

He found his legs yet, man. Get his ass off. No, play Jerry McCain. Don't be that fan, Ron.

I'm talking about his ability to add firepower to the offense. One game. Okay.

Okay? It's just one game.

But if you watch him at Duke, it wasn't just one game. That's how he- Duke now.

Come on now. This is a difference. This is a man's world. Come on now. It's the end motherfucking beat. Ain't no motherfucking boys allowed. No beats allowed.

If the Sixers were seven and two, I would say, Okay, Kyle Lauer is entrenched. But I think that the Sixers need to throw things at the wall. I had a Nix fan fucking text me today. Messaged me today. My boy, Cheese, messaged me.

Cheese fry?

Not even cheese fry. It's funny that I have a cheese, you have a cheese fry, I have a spud, you have a spud.

Are we twins?

For real? We really might be same height and everything. Well, I'm a little bit taller. That's not the Manth.

It's not the Manth.

It said, This guy sent me 1, 2, 12 laughing emojis with this message. And it said, We got PG now. We're going to be a problem. And said, It smells like Tobias Harris in here. And it had Paul George, 14 points a game, five rebounds, 4.7 assists, Tobias Harris, 14 points a game, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists. Put them right next to each other. So they're basically saying that Paul George is bringing the same output as Tobias Harris right now, where the Sixers thought that they were getting a whole new player. What does Paul George need to do to elevate himself as an option for the Sixers? Because they don't have him beat right now, now, is it what you paid him to step up, $50 million a year, to step up in a situation like this. Is it about finding his legs, or is it about finding his spot in the offense?

Okay. First off, health is really important. So it's all about finding his legs first. Fans, casual fans of people who don't even fuck with the pot are listening. I understand. Anything over 31, 32, 33, it takes a month to dive into some shit. To get up on you for your jump shot to start feeling like it feels like it takes time. Him having an injury, coming back from it. Anything with leg injury is It's always scary when you talk about Paul Jordan. Any leg injuries, you have to understand that also. So we don't understand if there's a mental barrier there, if there's anything mental with that, or is he even fully healthy at? Trying to rush back because his team is losing. We don't know all those aspects. Nick Nurse system. It's a lot of freedom. It's so much freedom that you feel like you're playing like, Is it okay to shoot this motherfucking shot? I've been open four times in a row. Shoot that motherfucking four times in a row. That's nick Nurse offense. At the same time with pressure, this is the first time Paul George has had to be Batman in a long Long-ass time.

West of Westbrook, OKC. Kawhi, when Kauai was out, she still had a little I helped there with Russ, with James Harden. You know what I'm saying? So this is the first time we've seen Paul Jorssen's what? Indiana, where he's had to be the man, win games, games online, shoot game with So that's an adjustment period. Playing in Philly, that's an adjustment period.

How so?

You can't make $48, $50 million in mystery for shots in Philly. My boss is looking at you like, What the fuck is you doing? So it's a lot of stuff build up, which is Paul George is the perfect person to be fitted for because once he gets rolling, he going to get rolling. So I'm not worried about it. But for right now, He's just faced with a whole bunch of new challenges, which is good, which is really good. Losing, not playing well, not playing to your best of your potential. The hardest road is always the best one. It forces growth faster. Hear me. Kids, children, adults, ladies, gents. Taking the hard road is better. It helps and speeds up growth. Him struggling right now is a good thing. Them losing right now is a good thing, right? Not a good thing for the team, but overall, later on down the line is going to be a good thing for him. He's going to know how I felt. He's going to know how I felt, the pressure of, Okay, not... Man, my team need I'm not shooting it great. I'm one for six from the three.

I'm one for five from the three. I just missed the game winner. People are talking about, Tyrese Max, you should have got it. When B is over here hurt, we can't use that excuse because I am getting paid to be the big dog. So it's a lot of pressure on him, which is good. Pressures produces diamonds. This is all good for him. He needs this. This is a good transition from him. So I got faith in my boy.

Yeah, I think my guy, Cheese, is just a Nicks fan. He's trying to make me feel bad. What should I say back to Cheese, though? What should I tell him? Take time?

Xbox style.

Suck it.

All right, all right.

Hey, Cheese. We suck it. Cheese is the man, though.

Shout out to Paul George, man.

Shout out to Paul George. While we're briefly mentioning the Oklahoma City Thunder speedy recovery to Chet, who will be out 10 weeks with, I think, a broken hip. It's so tough because he's such a thin guy.

And it's like you want him- And he goes out to every block shot, too.

Yeah, he's elevating without fear.

He's not scared. It's just, man, you don't want to see check go down like that. You don't want to see him, a player like him who's just in the cut, swaggy, though, in the cut. Yeah, come over here, try to dunk something you want. I'm going to beat that shit. Or don't get it fucked on. I'll dunk on your ass, Do it. Don't get it fucked up. I'll have Trey your ass, too. Got us fucked up. So shout out to Chat, bro. Speedy recovery. I know you listen to the podcast. You told me you listened to the pod during the game. So shout out to Chat, bro. We're praying for you, man, for real. I fuck with Chat. Chat, a real one. I told you, my father told me... No, Pat. Chad a nigga. N-i-g-g-a. Yeah. Yeah, I heard he one of the guys.

Okay. Well, I'm very happy for him.

Okay.

I'm very happy for him.

As you know, Ron, being from the white side, everybody is just jump in that crew. That's the crew you have to be blessed in.

Oh, bro. But I'm Hassan, bro. I'm rising up from the white side, bro.

Do you feel me? So they say Chet name straight, his name straight.

What could he do to prevent that injury, is it a couple more cheeseburgers? You know what I mean?

Don't do that to him.

He's just thin.

I know. Listen, boys stand sideways. You might miss him, bro. Yeah, boy dodge, raindrop. But you can't take that away from him, though. He go go out to every block shot is the type of player he is.

A lot of players started their NBA career. Almost everybody started their career much thinner than they wind up being later on in their age 30 season like we're talking about.

He'd beef up, but you don't You don't want to blame it on his frame. It was an awkward fall. He landed different. A type of land in that, if he was to land 100 times, he'd probably land that way probably once. So you can't look at it as a strength standpoint. You can't do that.

I wasn't even saying strength. I said cheeseburgers. I was just saying he needs the padding. You know what I mean? Just he could hide behind a stop sign right now in the bottom half, not the top half. Interesting stuff coming out of the NBA this year.

You know how it is at the barstool office? Kicking shit. Kicking shit. Just Everybody around talking sports, talking ball. They're disparaging the NFL. They're like, NFL product this year, not that good. And then one guy was like, NBA has got to be worried about their product because people are just jacking threes all over the place in the NBA. And whether he's correct or not, perception in some ways is reality.

Why- Viewership is down.

Viewership is down.

I got to say, when I did have my time in the NBA, every TV game I played in, I used to get text like, Yo, Pat, that was the best view game last four years. I would say that. That's all I'm saying. I ain't saying people came that motherfuck.

Get Adam Silver on the line right now. No, I ain't saying they came. I've got the cure.

They didn't come there to see me, but once they did tune in, and I was, they kept that motherfucker gone.

That's a fact. I mean, you have... But in a general sense, and people are complaining about everybody shooting threes.

Early, though, man. It's early. It's so early. It's so much on TV. It's so much going on. It's early.

Survivor is still on.

People don't start watching basketball to all-star anyway. So it's early. It's really early. But soon as the end-season tournament hit, it should go skyrocket.

What about the play style. Do you think that there's anything to be said about the play style being less interesting to the casual fan, or is that just why do people have that perception, I guess, is my question.

Because what? You see games, the scoring One has even been up that much this year. You just see guys shooting a ton of three. That's the evolution of basketball. That's how it's supposed to be.

People are more skilled to take a shoot from farther out, and the three pointers are worth more.

That's how the game is supposed to be. Analytics-wise, that's how you want the game to be played also. From a GM coaches standpoint, more threes, more points, more points, more wins, more wins, more fans, more fans, more money Money, more money, more problems. You know what I'm saying? That's just how it goes. Player, more threes, more points, more points, more fame, more fame, more money. So it works both ways. It's just that some people, Oh, man, shooting too many threes, but yeah, my boy shooting too many threes, and your ass on DraftKings, betting the motherfucking over and you win. You ain't complaining neither. Shout out to DraftKings. How I did that.

It was very smooth.

I'm coming out like operator. How I did that.

Smooth operator.

Yeah, I'm on some shit today.

You have been dropping gems.

Yeah, and I ain't time out the gym with the Jay neither.

Oh, no.

Okay, you're a gym. That's what they used to call me. Say, Let me stop. Let me slow down, Ron, before I get a speed. He can't help himself. I'm at a stop sign.

That text message That impression has you beaming. And I'm not talking about Willy.

Okay. All right. Because I thought you were talking about a sack.

Say less.

My bad. Say less.

We're not going to light the beam. No beam will be lit, but the sacs are still big. Come on, bro. Come on.

Not too much. I'll leave it there.

Let me hit a New Amsterdam starting five right quick.

Okay.

Since we talked about a fictional athlete in Willy Beeman, I want you- I got a question. Pivot, and that's a basketball term.

We're grown. I'm a grown ass, man. You're a grown ass, man. I've had sex before. I'm pretty sure you had sex before.

I'm hoping to sometime soon.

Listen, not too much because I've seen that outfit you had on the other day.

At the baptism?

I hit white view in the messages like, sick outfit. I didn't mean that in a good way. The outfit was a god outfit.

Why? Was Polo head to toe?

It don't matter with the brand. You know that. It don't matter with the brand. But your You're fucking me up. So white-black question. Sexual position from a white man versus favorite sexual position from a black man.

Okay, I'll go for Black guy. And you go for white.

All right, go. White guy. I know the answer to this.

I know white. Let me go first. Black guy is definitely just vanilla missionary.

Explain.

I just know. It's got to be.

No, you're wrong. What?

No, you're wrong. How do they just... Just laying down, making love, kissing one another on the lips. Just vanilla missionary face to face.

That's for sure white person.

No, that's you guys.

You're describing yourself.

What are you talking about?

Describe yourself. Nose to nose.

That's you, bro. That's you. You can't just take my answer and be like, I'm rubber, you are glue. You can't flip it like that.

I'm Black, motherfucker. You ain't. What are you talking about?

I'm just telling you how you are. You're trying to flip it on me.

White people are nose to nose. What are you talking about?

How would you know? I'm white.

I know. I could just I can imagine. Yeah, that's fucked up that you're imagining. The air that comes out of your nostril is hitting her right here on the bottom lip. That's the type of sex white motherfuckers hat. What about you, bro?

We're having some freak shit. I'm talking swings, whips, and chains.

Iron and boards. Straight up.

No, bro. I know you guys are like two pieces of wood, bro. You fucking rubbing together. Probably start a fire, bro. Just two right on top of one another.

For sure, you're talking about yourself there.

That's you, bro.

For sure, because you ain't got your hand up. You feel me? You ain't got your hand up from the background. You feel me like that?

I just told you, bro. It's mirrors front and back, dude. You know what I mean? Waterbeds, slips and slides.

You ain't got no damn waterbed. What? You ain't got no damn waterbed, bro. What do you mean? You ain't got no damn waterbed. That's what I What do you mean, what I say it? I said, You ain't got no damn waterbed.

Of course, the emotion of the ocean, bro.

So who do you think... If you were to ask a black woman and a white woman who had better sex between a Black or a White guy. We just go use Black and White for right now. You can't use your roles because them motherfuckers is different, or Italian, because them motherfuckers is different, too. So I'm just going to go Black and White Americans. If you were to ask a white girl and a Black girl the answer to these questions, what do you think the answer would be?

I think it depends on the experiences that they've had with... I mean, if a girl's white guy is Johnny Sins, then I bet that she got broken open.

Who is Johnny Sins?

Brother, you're not familiar with the starting five white guys. You're not familiar with our best and brightest.

No, I'm not. Put me home. Bro.

Johnny Sins is a porn star. Look him up. Look up Johnny Sins. Look up and don't put on Safe Search, bro.

Johnny Sins. 45 years old.

Maybe I'm- Yeah, you had a racist assumption about white people. We don't have killers on our side.

I don't think this is the right guy I'm looking at.

Bald?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, that's the right one.

Oh, okay. Save that. Well, I got 60,000 followers.

Yeah, well, I mean, you're probably looking at his wrong media.

I'm looking at his Instagram. So we got Mr. Marcus.

I mean, so that's what I mean, that on both sides, there's probably all stars, and on both sides, there's probably bench players. And I don't think that you could divide it by race.

Can we just go ask the chat to ask women to answer this for us then?

Fair enough.

Who has the better love making? White folk? Black folk. Hey, you know me and mom's beefing right now. Why? All right. Okay, cool. So I'm always up and honest with you. In comparison to how my family is ran, I'm like the Thomas Shelby of my family. My mom has a great heart. You've met her. She has a great heart. She has a friend who just popped up out the blue and needed somewhere to stay. And my mom housed her, which is fine, but there wasn't a lot of communication. And me and my mom, we communicated about everything. So if there isn't a lot of communication, now I feel like you're trying to have some Just petty family problems.

So this woman staying at your house and without your permission?

One of our homes. Not my house, but one of our homes, yes.

Is it a Houston residence?

Houston residence, but not mine.

Then why are you trying to control it if it's not yours? Because you think your mom's being taken advantage of? Yes. Do you think that's for you to say or for her to say?

Sometimes when people are taking advantage of it, they don't know.

What do you think she should do about it? Set boundaries?

Yes, especially now. Especially now. Because I wish I had someone to give me that advice. Apac, you're getting taken advantage of, bro, don't have a homie around you. Or no, APAC, she's taking advantage of you. Just not to believe them, but to have me look at it. Hold on. If this person that loves me is telling me this, let me look at it from a different perspective. Let me back up from it. Don't let me look at the glass like this. Let me put this motherfuck up and down. Let me see the whole thing before I make a hasty is. And my sister is my smaller younger sister is there also. I like to have a household built on respect for my younger sister, too.

Yes. I think that all you can do in that circumstance, though, is give your mom that advice, and whether she takes it or not is up to her because she's a grown woman.

Yeah, it's a little bit more than that.

How so?

Going to Lady Page, Lady and Back, my Rolls-Royce, taking pictures.

Stolen valor.

You know what I'm saying? Posting it on her Facebook. You know what I'm saying? And I'm like, Why the fuck is My Rolls-Royce out in my garage anyway.

Someone's doing donuts with the rolls.

God, you feel me? I'm going to have a Rolls, I'm going to have a little extra mileage on it. So a little shit like that. It's petty, petty shit. It's pretty, right? Through it all, it's petty, but you don't want to have... If I was in the NBA, this wouldn't be going on.

They said, Pats in Europe. We're about to drive the rolls, Royce, up to Water A burger.

Feel me? Right. We about to hit whips in that motherfucking. We're about to do this. We're about to do that.

We're going to JJ Fish and taking pictures.

You know what I mean?

Interesting conundrum. People should sound off about that in the comments.

Yeah, for sure. Let me know what you all think.

All right, guys, let's take a second and talk about New Amsterdam Vodka. New Amsterdam Vodka, the official Vodka of Barstool Sports and the official Vodka of the Pat Biv pod with Rohn and New Amsterdam Vodka, three times filtered, five times distilled, and whatever they're doing over there at the New Amsterdam factory, it's working. I don't know if they have bells, whistles. I don't know if they have conveyor belts or factory lines. I just know that they have a vat of liquid gold, and every single time they put it into a bottle, I'm catapulting myself into the best time that I've ever had. As soon as it hits my taste buds, I feel like I can the NBA, but somehow feel relaxed enough like I'm courtside at an NBA game. It's your perfect companion for cocktail consumption, whether you're at a basketball game, whether it's the spring, fall, summer, or winter. It doesn't matter what you're mixing it with because just about everything goes with the smoothest stuff on Earth. They recently just sponsored our series, The Nicest, and you're going to love it. Just guys being nice to one another while sipping on New Amsterdam Vodka.

Check that out on YouTube right now, The Nicest from Barstool Sports, and check out New Amsterdam Vodka anywhere that you can buy your booze. Find your wins today with New Amsterdam Vodka. Also, should we do our New Amsterdam Starting 5?

New Amsterdam Starting Five, player coaches.

Player coaches?

Coaches that used to be a player, an NBA.

Current?

Well, this might be thin, though, no?

I mean, I think that if you consider Doc Rivers, JJ Reddick, are we doing assistance?

I mean, everybody. Five of them.

So like Sam Casselle. I mean, a lot of them are like point cards. Yeah.

So Sam Casselle is up there.

Are you putting Doc Rivers and JJ Reddick in there?

Sure.

Doc Rivers, JJ Redick, Sam Casselle.

Is Darvin Ham in there?

He's on the fence. I think we could do better than D Hamm.

Coach of the Rockets.

Ime Udoku?

Yeah.

I mean, when Jason Kidd was in the mix, if we're going all-time- That's what I'm saying, Jason Kidd.

He's currently coaching Dallas Maric. So, yeah, let's do that one. I like that one.

Okay. Jason Kidd.

Are we going best coach?

No, we'll go starting five.

Well, you know my one going to be Doc.

Okay. Why? Did you ever watch him play?

Yeah, he has a record, like Second and Steels or Second and Assist, Second and Steels. It was an All-Star. He's a hoop.

Okay, so he's in there?

He's definitely in there. J. K.

For showing J. K. 100% has to be in there. Jj Reddick, I think, has to be in there, too.

Jj Reddick has to be in there.

Put respect on Steve Kerr, though.

Got to put respect on Steve. Listen, he's been coaching so long, I forgot he was a player.

That's how it happens with a lot of guys. You forget Pat Reilly played. I mean, he's not a coach right now, but- Steve Kerr for show in there.

Who else?

I mean, Ty Lou.

Oh, God.

But Ty Lou at the same time, he's a better coach than he was a player. He was an effective player, and he played his position perfectly, but he was limited by his role and his size.

I'm going to Tee Lou. Tee Lou coached me.

That's five right there.

Five right there.

Rick Carlyle.

Rick Carlyle, good ass coach.

Billy Dunovan.

Billy D. He's a good ass coach. Billy D. Playing NBA?

Yeah, he was drafted by the Jazz in '87, but then I think he got waived right after. I mean, Bill Russell, if you want to go all time.

Rick Carlyle was hard-nosed, blue-collar work in the NBA, too. Elite offensive coach. Elite.

Lenny Wilkins, if you want to go all time, Lenny Wilkins belongs on the list.

We're going to go current. So we got Doc. I'm going Doc, J-Kid, JJ. I'm not putting JJ.

That's disrespectful. You're putting T-Lu.

I'm going to put T-Lu. I'm going to put Rick Carlyal and Steve Kerr is in there. Steve Kerr is not five. Steve Kerr might be two.

Rick Carlyal. I don't know if you could put Rick Carlyle, though.

I'm going Steve Kerr one. I'm going Doc Rivers two.

I'm going- Rick Carlyle did win a title as a player on the Celtics.

But his offense is great. His offense is great. I'm going Tee Lou, Rick Carlyle. Steve Kerr, Doc, Tee Lou, Rick Carlyle.

Bro, JJ.

He just started coaching Ron. That's the thing, bro. He just can't give me that.

But he might be a better coach than- I'm going J-K-5. If If we go all time, Phil Jackson would have to be on the list, too.

Of course, but we're not going all time.

If we were going all time, Larry Bird, we had to be on the list.

He wasn't a coach.

Larry Bird was a coach. He coached the Pacers. Yeah, I'm saying if we're going all time.

All time. All right. Okay. That's a five. My five doesn't have JJ ready. Yours does.

Yes, fair enough. And I have Carlyle off mine. If we're going all time, Nate McKmillon has to be in there, too.

We're not going all time.

We're just going Okay, fair enough. That's your starting five. If anybody... I mean, all time, Bill Walton. I mean, there's a lot of ways you could have gone with it. But please sound off in the comments, whether that's something you agree with or something with which you disagree.

Someone just texted me this, 1024 Today. When you feel like everything is moving slow for you, that is when the growth is happening and the progress is being made. When you feel like everything is going on fast, that is where complacency takes place. Pat Biv, quoted by Pat Biv of July 18th, 2024. Wow. Put it on that T-shirt. Put it on a motivation poster.

Put it to an edit of you. Wow. Put it to an edit of you crossing over a flat-footed, 6'1 dude from Turkey or something like that.

I'm gone for five minutes. Love you, brother. All right.
