Transcript of “IT WOULD BE HARD FOR AN NBA TEAM TO WIN THERE!” Wizards Beating Euro Team In Athens Colliseum Game?

Yeah, that's the crib. This ain't no studio neither. What can be a way to beat Babalona? That is one of the strongest teams of the world. I go out there and have fun.

I think that's the big key. It's a long season. We understand anything and everything. The most important is to be disciplined about. Thank you so much.

It'd be tough for NBA team to win there. Not saying it wouldn't happen. It'd be tough. It'd be tough. It'd be tough.

I'm going Crispr. I seen him do some in the playoffs. Hurt. This man was hurt.

I ready? Here we go. I can't say nothing about Rome surviving Barstool, can I? Can I know? Here we go.

Pat bev pie with Rome. No wrong. No wrong today. But my boy out there doing his thing, surviving Barstool. Make sure y'all tune the fuck in when that come out.

Shout out, Dave. Shout out big cat. Shout out barstool. Shout out my homie, Rome.

We lost the game. We lost a game that, uh, that we lost. Got a lot of work to be done. Um, salty as hell. I think it feels magnified every one game.

Well, that's what I'm supposed to say, but it don't. Cause basketball is basketball. No one can go undefeated. That's how this game is. So I respect the game in that point, but also that, you know, you want to be dominant and, you know, you want to win everything also, you know, so I'm flirting in between those lines, which I think are normal lines if you're, you know, a maniac about basketball, like myself.

So the norm, we have to run.

Okay, cool. So we in two leagues, right? We in the israeli league. That's the, mostly all this, you know, all the israeli teams. And then we're in like a Euro cup.

And both leagues are very, very different. Right. Israeli league, you win that, you're basically the best, best team in Israel. Obviously, the rival is Makai, who usually, usually wins it during every year. Right.

So this team I'm on, they haven't won it. We haven't won it, I don't know, almost 50, 50 years, you know. So, like, this is a big thing. This is important due to, you know, all the big names and, you know, that they brought here. So that's the israeli league, Euro cup league.

The Euro cup is the, that's, I mean, both of them, I have imports. But this one, if you, if you win this one, you go to Euro league. You go to the league that everyone's at, you know, and that's the feel me, like both have different feelings and both are not better than the other. But you know, you do want to be considered the best teams in Europe, but in order to get to that league, you have to win Euro cup. So, you know, we lost to a very low team, the israeli game, and then we lost our first Euro cup, which is good, you know, which is good.

Like, you know, I which is good. You have to go through it, you have to learn each other, you have to be a team. So, so good. But also being a competitor, I want to win fucking everything. Like I want to, you know.

You know, what did I say in the beginning? I wanted to dominate, complete domination, you know, so humbling, but like eager to get back to work tomorrow too. So hey, look, check it out.

This is the place where the dream team play the Euro cup league and israeli league, obviously, you know, it's a some of the best players in Europe, right? Guys who played a little bit in NBA, israeli league, not too many guys who played in the NBA, you know, so those are the difference. But both leagues, you got hungry dudes out there wanting to make a name, especially against me, you know, because I'm out there and I come from the NBA, you know, you fill it in competition, which is also great, you know, I love that shit. I love. I love a good competition.

So, you know, it keep me on my shit.

I don't know. I don't know if it's physicality. I think it's. I think it's more mental, more high iq basketball than physicality. Out here, everyone knows how to play.

Everyone plays the or tries to play the right way. You know, go to get the ball from left to right, back to left. Somehow touching the paint twice. Somehow, you know, touching the paint is off the dribble. Touching the paint is hitting into the.

To the big man in the pocket, off the roll, off the short roll, off the lob or so touching the paint is different. And they try to touch the paint twice, which makes it, you know, harder to guard because this, you know, it's a beautiful game over here. Everything's pass, pass. Everything's swing, swing. Everything's penetrating kick.

Everything's is outside the end and everything else is inside out. Like, the game of basketball is beauty. It's like, it's, it's beautiful over here. So it's just a different vibe. Well, they said I could talk about it, so I'm gonna talk about a draft kings.

I touched down in bartolona. Feel me? I don't know, ten minutes from Barcelona, Spain. I'm talking about, it's beautiful. And at this time, I think they have festival going on.

So, like, it's, it's people all over the streets, like some shit from a movie, like some shit that, uh, that Denzel played in, some shit like that. Shit was crazy. Was people everywhere was kids, it was fireworks. It was motherfuckers dancing. And the culture was outside.

Shit felt good. Spaniards get it done. Shout out to Barcelona, Spain. Shout out to, uh, Battalion. So the.

The trip was amazing, you know, the trip was good. We got a chance to get there. We ate as a team. We practiced as a team. We got some good work in, you know what I'm saying?

Woke up that morning, it just feel good when you roll into a place and, you know, you see FC Barcelona shirts and like, Barcelona. Barcelona was a vibe, but the gang wasn't. It was a vibe too. Competitive game down to the, you know, stretch game. Like, it was a whole thing, like, crowd booing you.

And they dressed, they got all green on, we got all red on. We got our fans and our fans. I don't know why they so far away, but they all the way up the top, but we still hear them. The love is there, you feel me? Like it's two teams clashing against each other.

The vibe was there. It was great basketball. It was great basketball. We came up short, though. Lord knows we came up short, but I.

Good, good brand of basketball. Good vibe. Spain was cool. I had an okay game. Had an okay game.

Um, not a good game. If you lose, that's always my thing, right? Like, no matter what the numbers is, however that goes, but you lose, don't none of that shit matter. So that's the vibe. Like, if you're a real hooper, you.

You understand it. Like, I don't. Fuck what you got. Y'all lose. That shit don't count.

Y'all lost. So, so the crowds, right? And I be hearing y'all comments, how about high school gyms and all that shit. It's not. It's not like that.

It was more like college. College spots, right, but it's no chill spots. And the whole college spot, right? There's no chill spot. And we ain't even played a game in our arena yet.

I'm hoping to get a game there. Oh, my God. Hoping to get a game there. Like, this was basically an away game, you know, like, this is basically an away game. And the fans, I'm talking about, they.

When I say they support, they support. We might have had a thousand fans at this last battlelog game that got on the flights and came and showed love. They got they red on. So, like, I mean, these fans bleed hopper. Well, but, like, the NBA fans, you feel me, in certain spots, but I know, like, in like, Minnesota, Philly, like, chicago to, you know, we had to start winning again.

Like those intimate spots, like, the crowd always there. I know Cali, you know, muffler be walking in second quarter, you know, so, uh, but over here, they there. Um, I'm talking about maybe an hour before, like, all dressed in red all got special chance. Everyone has a special chant for your name, and everybody got a song, and it's little kids, it's older people with young teenagers, young adults. It's 40 year olds, 30 year olds, 50 year olds, six year olds, ten year old.

Like, that's the spectrum. The dynamic is like, the range of age is so different here and everyone is that they bleed hop. Well, Tel Aviv. And that's, I mean, like that. That's a vibe to go play by.

Yeah, it was fans on the fight, man. First time I ever seen that. But they was cool. They want over, you know, some fans, some people be, you know, overbearing. You know, they want to pitch all the time.

But they was cool. They was cool. They were just hype, man. You get on a plane, I got on the plane, they started channing the Patrick Beverly song. This like, man, he's some real, like that hard fans.

And you appreciate it. No, 100%. You appreciate it.

Ooh, the Panther Nichols game in Greece, they, they had it at the. Well, you. Back in the day, they used to have the horse and carriages in war and first Olympic stadium. Damn, I didn't know that.

40,000 people, almost 50,000 people at a hoop game outside.

No, they snapped. And it was a vibe coming out all I'm talking about. And it wasn't even like the other team's fans, it was just them. They. All their fans.

It'd be tough for NBA team to win there. It'd be tough. It'd be. Not saying that it wouldn't happen. It'd be tough.

It'd be tough. It'd be tough. It'd be tough. It'll be tough. That's all.

That's all. Like almost 50,000 people against you. Against you. Like, any mistake is magnified. Any missed shot is magnified.

Any big shot is like a dagger. Any, like, like. Nah, like, it'll be hard, it'll be hard. It'll be hard. Not saying it wouldn't be done, it'd just be hard.

So, like, the EuroLeague, NBA, it's been a game where I think the Lakers played the team from Barcelona. I think the same team we lost to in the year league championship when I played with Olympiakos. I think the Lakers lost to them in Barcelona. You know, so, like, it's been games, but I think it has to have a game with some type of meaning behind it. You know, like preseason game, you know, you in Barcelona, you feel me?

You might go out, you chilling, but, like, if you put something behind it, you know what I'm saying? Like some type of incentive which mostly has to deal with cha ching, you know what I'm saying? Put a trophy behind it, put an incentive behind it, like they did with the play in. I think you make the game impetitive. Put some millions behind it.

Whoever wins. I think, you know, you, you know, I think some special happen. I think you'll see some. I don't know, I think you'll see some upsets and you'll see some, I told you, souls. You'll see a little bit of both.

And for that reason right there, the european. The european game is getting a lot, much closer for that reason right there. New Amsterdam starting five small fours. This episode is brought to you by one and only new Amsterdam Vaca. Find your wins.

Find your wins with new Amsterdam vodka. I'm talking about if you looking to find your wins on and off the court, get you some new Amsterdam vodka, man. You and the fellas, you and your loved ones, you and your loved one. Pull it up, pour it up a little. Little crisp to it.

Find your wins today, man. New Amsterdam vodka from the papier pod with Rome.

Find your wins today.

It's tough. Small forward. Tough. So we can put Lebron on there, right? Cause he's positionless.

So can't put Katie on there. Cause he's positionless, right? And we're talking about in today's game, right? New Amsterdam starting five small fours.

So that leaves at least Jimmy Butler.

That leaves Kawhi.

I don't know if they go like this next one, but is he a small forward, though?

Greek is positionless, right?

Chris Middleton. But I don't know if they count him a shooting guard like these guys. You know what I'm saying? Like, the NBA is changing. You don't know if these guys are shooting guards because, like, a couple years ago, Gordon Haywood and Andre Andrew Wiggins would be a small for, you know, like, McDonough should be a small for Tobias Harris is.

Is a small forward. Like. So I'm just trying to figure out, like, the.

The diagram of how small fords are in the NBA. Now. Let me see. So here we go. This one.

I'm gonna go. I'm gonna do this off the strength. All right, I'm going Kawhi, not in order.

I'm going Jimmy.

Gotta have Jason Tatum in there. Gotta have Jalen Brown in there. So that only give me one spot left.

Is Paul George count as a small forward? He's count as a two guard.

See, that's my thing. That's my thing. Like, is the morose and considered two guard as he considered small forward. See, this is what they're doing to the league. They're putting.

You know what I'm saying? Like. Cause since the four is a stretch. Four, now that. That leaves the two guards, now three guards, and the point guards scoring point guards, now two guards and a shooting guard at the point guard.

While your four man handles the ball or your five man handles the ball. You know what I'm saying? So, like, it's a bunch of people I could put in here. I could put in for small forward, I can put in. Gotta put in Scottie Barnes.

Like, you know, like, that's why I'm trying to figure out, like, what's the.

I don't know what small for. Y'all help me out. What's small for it and what's shooting guard. But I got Kawhi. It's Jimmy Butler shooting guard.

Cause he started off shooting guard. You know what I'm saying? Like, he started off shooting guard. So I'm going Kawhi, I'm going Jason Tatum. I'm going Jalen Brown, right?

I'm going Scotty. Scottie Barnese. It's Chris Middleton. Like, you know, I just. I don't.

I don't know what those guys are. Chris, like, Chris Middleton. He's six fucking six, seven.

Like, you know, like Paul George 6768. You feel me? Like, so, okay, five. You ready? Here we go.

No, not in order. I don't have an order. Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, Kawhi Scottie Barnese.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know who's a shooting guard or a small ford, bro. I really don't know. I don't want to.

I don't want to, because this is a. This is an important group. Like. Like, you understand what I'm saying? He tough.

Like, he. He toughen. You have a little bit more dog, but he tough at that size. He's tough. What do you.

What, you know what I'm saying? That. That's like. It looked funny. It look unorthodox, but, like, oh, Pascal Siaka, my mom.

He just gave us 30 m up a game. Playoffs. He just gave up 30. I can't leave him out there. He going, he definitely take Scottie Barnes ass out there.

Yeah. Pascal, you in there, my boy? I'm gonna take Scottie Barnes ass out. I'm taking him out. I mean, these guys are two guards, bro.

Like, the fifth spot is hard. You got Michael Porter junior, you got Brandon Ingram, you got Scottie Barnes, you got Mikhail Bridges, right. All those are absolutely three guys. But then you got Paul George, Chris Middleton, DeMar DeRoza, and I don't know, are they considered two guards or three guards?

So Paul George, Chris Middleton. DeMar with that group is considered three guard. I mean, three guards. I'm going Paul George. I'm sorry, Demaro.

I'm sorry. Chris Middleton, my mama. Chris Middleton. You cold. You cold in a motherfucker.

I ain't gonna lie. Fuck that. Oh, no, man. PG. Chris Cold.

He cold. I seen him do some shit in the playoffs I ain't never seen a motherfucker do. I'm going Chris Middleton, man. I'm going Chris Middleton. I'm going Chris Middleton.

I am. I'm going crisp. I seen him do some shit in the playoffs. Hurt. This man was hurt after the playoff series ended.

I go to the man, I go, hey, Chris G. My mom. You got my respect. You cold. You cold, bro.

You cold. Two gang winners banking shit. Yeah, Pat. Uh uh. Bring it down a little bit.

Let me get the low screen so I get a motherfucker layoff on. Intelligent player. Intelligent player. I'm talking about underrated player. A real live like.

He cold. Chris Middleton Cold. And I got a chance. He up close and personal. I'm gonna get my boys flowers.

Cause I know he was like that. He cold. Chris Middleton cold. Straight up. He cold.

And he was hurt. He was doing that shit. Hurt. He was hurt than a motherfucker. He cold.
