In this episode of Reid & React, we’re diving into some of the biggest debates in sports right now 🔥

We break down whether LeBron James or Allen Iverson could’ve realistically dominated in the NFL and what his game might’ve looked like on the field. Then we get into the latest trade buzz surrounding AJ Brown and what it could mean for the league.

We also take a step back and talk about the impact and legacy of Allen Iverson — and how he helped shape the culture of basketball today.

Plus, we react to the latest developments involving Dexter Lawrence and what his situation could mean moving forward.

From wild “what-if” scenarios to real trade talk, this episode is full of bold takes, debates, and nonstop sports energy.

SPEAKER_11

Hey man. Say, man. Welcome back to the read and react.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. It's the reading react. It's the reading react. Yeah. Welcome back. It's the read and react. It's a fucking best.

SPEAKER_11

Oh, we got to be able to next two s one year. Just tell me what you need, right? Come on. This your boy AC. Who we here with, man? Who we here with? It's your boy, Deuce.

SPEAKER_00

In the house.

SPEAKER_11

Alright, man. And first things first of the day. Dexter Lawrence is now a bangle. Kinda scary. No, it's not. That team is still scared.

SPEAKER_08

That means absolutely nothing.

SPEAKER_11

Oh, let's just get another trade. Let's get another Trey Henderson and put him in the middle. Let's put in the Trey Henderson and put him in the middle. That's scary. That might be scary for the Giants. Or John Harbaugh. What is it, John Harbaugh?

unknown

Right?

SPEAKER_11

No, that's it's Jim. Jim? Oh, my fault. John is the Jim. I called that nigga Mike first.

SPEAKER_06

Alright, bet, bet, bet, bet, bet. Because I know he got a brother. Do you know my brother?

SPEAKER_11

Like I was saying, um made me lose my train of thought, bro. Like I said, it might be scary for the Giants. Uh the Giants that that can get them a very good corner. If they're looking for a good corner, or because the D-line is straight, they don't really need nothing. They can replace that that middle piece with somebody in the draft. Uh he ain't gonna be as good as him, of course, but I don't they still have the other first round pick, right? They still have the other first round pick. They ain't traded. So I mean I don't think so.

SPEAKER_06

They didn't get no they didn't trade, they didn't trade nothing to get anybody. They just they picked our free agents the whole time.

SPEAKER_11

So they traded him for a first round pick. And then now they got that's that's nice too good. But is it the 10th? I think they I think they got their like 10th overall pick. Yeah, it's the 10th brown. And I don't know they uh what their other pick is, but yeah, that's gonna be nice. Um scary times, scary times. Uh once they rebuild, once they give that defense, once they get that defense together, other than they got a nice little safeties, they got some nice little safeties. The D line is straight. But I'm still gonna speak on how they're they're they're improving. That's still a good team. I think they're gonna get I still think they're gonna get at least 10 wins next season or more. I I believe in the Giants. You know what I'm saying? I've been watching them as a team grow. Uh scardy boo. I've never been a hater of the Giants. The Giants are straight.

SPEAKER_06

Uh so they have I think they have the fifth, the fifth and the tenth pick now. That's that's two good picks, man. Back to back. Fuck around, trade them both, and move all the way up. That's stupid. Who they quarterback? Jackson Dart.

SPEAKER_11

Oh, yeah, they don't need no quarterback. They're gonna use that fifth and tenth pick and get something good, bro, and rebuild that defense. That's gonna be a very good team next year, bro. I can't wait to I can't wait to see him, man. I can't wait to see him. We found out Giants fan over here. Now we can pivot back to back to the Eagles because I have a trade proposition that I think y'all mess with. So you know that the Chargers offense is not really that good. They don't really have no receiver one. And Derwin James contracts ends after next season. They haven't extended him yet. And they said they were gonna extend him after the draft. Why is that?

SPEAKER_06

Makes it makes it makes it kind of uh question markable.

SPEAKER_11

So AJ Brown, right? Even if he gets off the team, they're not doing it till after the draft, right? You feel me? So post-June.

SPEAKER_06

June first ain't until after the draft. If we can get we can fuck around, get a get a season, season vet back there.

SPEAKER_11

The only thing I'm believing in is that if we get him, we if we get rid of him, it's gonna we're gonna get another receiver, one more receiver that's like tall. And there's a couple good ones in there that's available. Like this is a very good like year to get a receiver. It's a lot of receivers available. And a lot and not every team needs receivers. A lot of teams have receivers now, like they have good.

SPEAKER_00

You definitely gonna be able to pick pick pick something from out of the out of the little crowd, and we got draft capital. It'll be nice.

SPEAKER_11

We can get him in a second, third, fourth, something like that. And if that's the case, real nice. That's the case. We already got Devontae, so that's our one. We just need a two, and we got Hollywood, Quiz, and everybody else. You know what I'm saying? So we can work, we can work something out. We're gonna have time. So what I'm saying is the only way I was like I said, I said this before. The only way I see us getting rid of AJ is if we're getting down two for of two first round picks, or like a player, like a like an edge rusher and a second, or like a safety and like a high second, or like they give us like a young safety that's good or something like that, and like a first, like because he hasn't proved himself or something like that. But if they give us Derwin James and give us like a like a high second, high third, something like that, we trade them like a six in AJ. That's a fair trade, low key, because AJ is a dominant offensive player, and that's what y'all need. Y'all need a battery than we need him. So y'all y'all take AJ, y'all give us Derwin. They about the same age, like one year different. All right, AJ finna turn 29, so they finna be the same age. Two dominant players that ain't been bad, they ain't getting injured all year. You know what I'm saying? They're they're they're not just injury-prone players, these are good players. Trade, trade, pick, pick. I think I think it's a possibility that it happens. Puts a veteran back there at safety, so you don't think you're not really losing nothing by losing Reed, and not just having a whole bunch of young dudes back there trying to figure it out. That's my opinion.

SPEAKER_06

Add some season to the vet room, at a vet to the to the safety room. It I feel like that opens up our safe our defense a little bit more with Vic Fangio. Um I think that I really think that that's a great trade if it happens. But if it happens, yeah, it's a if it happens thing, but it that would be the only trade that I would want to see now out of this AJ Brown scandal thing. That ain't a trade. It's it's not, but that's the only one I would want to see because it gives us exactly what we need, and we don't gotta waste draft picks on um a rookie now. No, we're gonna have to do that. We could we could take that we uh we may or may not, but with that being done, you don't you don't know what we're gonna get.

SPEAKER_11

We don't have enough, we don't have enough safeties, bro. We got just Mark. So you think they get one more? We have one, we have one safety on the other side. Then we have three three dudes that haven't proved themselves, and one dude that's just he's a free safety though, isn't he? That's what I'm saying. He's it's one dude on the other side. That's what I'm saying. There's one dude playing strong, and then there's the everybody else. All them other dudes are free safeties. So we're gonna need to.

SPEAKER_06

So is he a is he a strong safety or a free safety?

SPEAKER_11

Who? He's uh Darwin James can do on the field, bro. He can do anything. He can be a corner, he could be a safety, he can be whatever. They can move him over, bro. It's not gonna be no difference. He's still gonna be just as good. Okay, he is literally the heart of the Chargers defense, bro.

SPEAKER_06

That would be nice. It would be nice. 6'2, 215. He fits he fits perfect here with his with his height.

SPEAKER_11

He's just gonna turn everybody up, bro. Like the type of player he is, bro. And this and especially in this crowd of people and already like what we have going on and what like how the culture is here.

SPEAKER_00

Yep.

SPEAKER_10

It's over with, bro.

SPEAKER_00

Over with be better than the giants on defense, yeah. Um period, yeah.

SPEAKER_11

Defense. Offense loaded up too, bro. Stop hating on the giants, bro. They beat us last year. They beat us last year, bruh.

SPEAKER_00

All right, and so hence me looking forward to kicking, excuse me, some serious ass this year. Scattaboo. Scattaboo's now. Can't wait to knock the dog shit out of him.

SPEAKER_06

I haven't seen nobody do that yet. The only the only thing I kind of see wrong with this trade is uh the guaranteed money for uh Derwin James. He gets 42 million guaranteed.

SPEAKER_11

If he does that's not our money, that's their money that they have to pay.

SPEAKER_06

But that's that's only if that's only if if um that's only if we sign him, right? What do you think? No, we would our contract, whatever we give him, wouldn't be the same contract, right? If we we we're not we don't have to give him that 42 million, right?

SPEAKER_11

That's we can give him something else because they're guaranteeing him that money out of their pocket, they have to pay that money. That's why when people trade people and they be having all that money on their contract and they be losing all that money, like when they traded Russell Wilson and they still paying that man and he ain't been on their team in years, like bro, it's he it's like that. It's getting when you guarantee somebody that money, you owe them that money, you have to give them that money. It's not on somebody, no, oh when we're gonna trade them to y'all, y'all pay him. Like, that ain't how that works. Well, that's just some like type of thing in the contract that says something like that, or the trade clause, or whatever they're writing up. I'm pretty sure like they loved him as a player and they gave him that money, like, and it was like, yeah, this is guaranteed to you, bro. You're the heart of our defense, you're getting all this. I'm pretty sure that's exactly how that shit went up. They didn't probably think there was gonna be no AJ Brown available. But now that it is, and they have no fucking receiver one on that team. I'm telling you, bruh. I'm telling you. If they if it's if we get another receiver in the draft, AJ Brown's going to the Chargers. You're gonna see AJ Brown with lightning. The hurt of hair first folks on his fucking jerseys now.

SPEAKER_00

I already know he's getting traded. I mean, it's pretty much a foregoing conclusion.

SPEAKER_06

I seen I seen something on the blog that said he bought a house at the uh in uh over there in in upstate New York. You said what? I said I seen on the blogs that he bought uh another crib in upstate New York. And um, I can't think of it. Where where the where New England play at? Can't think.

SPEAKER_11

Nah, it's it starts with a M. They play up there in Maryland. No, they don't.

SPEAKER_06

Not Maine. I got you. Give me a second, I'll pull it.

SPEAKER_05

Uh hold on, here we go. Massachusetts, gang.

SPEAKER_06

It's on the blog that uh he uh he bought a new house in Westwood, Massachusetts.

SPEAKER_00

So it's it's the Patriots.

SPEAKER_06

I don't think he would have bought a crib out there if he if he if he was if it wasn't like a for sure thing though. He actually bought the house like all over.

SPEAKER_11

Where is the proof of that?

SPEAKER_06

I'm gonna send it to you so you can show the fans. I got you.

SPEAKER_11

Where do no? I'm asking people where are you getting the source?

SPEAKER_06

It's on it's on Instagram, it's on everywhere. I seen it everywhere. I seen it first on Instagram. Who's the source? Like, you're not saying anything by saying Adam, Adam, Adam, I don't know that last name. Adam Sheffner posted it. Adam Sheffner, Sheffner. Adam Scheffner said it. I'm dead serious.

SPEAKER_10

Okay.

SPEAKER_06

He reported it. Adam Scheffner reported it. Okay. Source tells Adam Scheffner.

SPEAKER_11

Chad uh Ace here uh while I'm editing this. That was false information.

SPEAKER_06

He purchased a house in Westwood, Massachusetts.

SPEAKER_11

Well, I don't even understand why we're we're even entertaining that dumbass trade. What are they gonna give us? Who are they gonna give us? If they're not they're they don't have to, they're not giving up unless they're giving up Christian Gonzalez. If they're giving up Christian Gonzalez, cool. They're gonna give up their both of their first round picks.

SPEAKER_00

No, just one.

SPEAKER_11

We're not just taking one. We want two.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah, but that's another year.

SPEAKER_11

We need this. I mean, but because it's gonna be after drafting. Either one for people getting the one for next season. We we need both of their picks. We're we're gonna do it just like how they did the same thing with Max Crosby. Oh, so that's what that's what teams are willing to give up? We want the same thing for AJ Brown.

SPEAKER_06

And and teams is willing to get that up for AJ Brown, bro.

SPEAKER_11

If he if they're not giving that up, what else are they gonna give us? Where if a first round pick for AJ Brown, that's it. That's all you're taking. This is a team, like this is a team that just went to the Super Bowl. That's not a good, that's not good enough. You finna have a 20, what, 20? What is that? 20, 32, the 32 pick? If they make it there again? Maybe 23 this time? Again? Like, that's not that's not nothing. We're gonna make it to the playoffs. We're gonna make it to the Super Bowl if we if we go again. We then we're gonna have this what the 24th, 32. Like, that's not those two two low ass picks. That's that's not nothing, bro.

SPEAKER_06

I mean with the way how we work, but even even if we did, even if we did get them low picks, the way with how we the way how we work, bro, he fucking around, move that shit around, and we have great picks out of that.

SPEAKER_11

It all sounds good, bro.

SPEAKER_00

But it's not you can have the fifth pick and the tenth pick like the giants.

SPEAKER_06

I'm cracking the hell up.

SPEAKER_08

But all right. But you are gonna think this season.

SPEAKER_12

But it don't make sense to me. I don't, I don't that that that I wouldn't even entertain entertain that trade because it don't make sense to me. Like, I don't see us getting giving up AJ Brown just for a first round pick.

SPEAKER_11

That's not shit.

SPEAKER_00

But they gonna give up, they're gonna give up a player. They're gonna give up the first round draft pick, and it's probably what year? This year, if it ain't a first round, one this year, one next year, it'll be a first, a second, or third.

SPEAKER_12

And then a player. What player do they have that we want?

SPEAKER_00

The the guy that plays corner, safety, kick returner, and running back. Who it's they got two players that's like that.

SPEAKER_06

I don't think I know who he's talking about. Um, I forgot his name though. I definitely know who he talked about. We we talked about this before. Yeah, I talked to him about I talked to you about that before, but this was like way before the AJ Brown shit even started happening. I know exactly what he's talking about.

SPEAKER_00

You know, like at the end of the season, I mean, not a year ago, but almost the end of the season. When they was talking about after the season was over and they was to started really talking about it, that was the first real real proposed trade I seen.

SPEAKER_06

He's a gadget guy.

SPEAKER_00

What's his number? 24.

SPEAKER_08

I think his number is 24. He's like 32.

SPEAKER_00

No, this kid is number 24. He plays running back safety, kick returner, corner. He plays everything.

SPEAKER_02

Talking about Jerry Mayo? Or African?

SPEAKER_06

I think you're talking about um 38, eh? No. No?

SPEAKER_03

That's a running back.

SPEAKER_00

I think his number's twenty-four. If it ain't twenty-four, it might be twenty-six.

SPEAKER_03

That's twenty-six.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, it's not Jennings.

SPEAKER_06

What's twenty-four? I got you, I got you, I got you. Charles Wood. I believe that's who you're talking about. I believe you're talking about Charles Wood. Who's 22? His number is uh 22. He's 5'11, he's not that tall. Right. I believe you're talking about him. Um, Charles Wood, he plays he plays a d a bunch of different positions. But they got two of them.

SPEAKER_00

That might be the other one.

SPEAKER_05

Hold on.

SPEAKER_06

Or or Craig Woodson. It's it's somebody, he's not that tall. He's a short guy.

SPEAKER_00

He's a short guy. Like I said, he plays running back.

SPEAKER_06

When guys got hurt. Oh, oh, 25, Marcus Jones. That's him. Marcus Jones, number 25. Yeah, there you go. He's 5'8, 188. He's been in the league for I think five years. Yep.

SPEAKER_00

And he plays kick return, punt return, wide receiver, um, running back.

SPEAKER_06

Got him listed as a cornerback in here.

SPEAKER_00

Right, corner, and he plays some backup safety. He done played all those positions. And he's in the proposed trade for AJ Brown, along with that first. That second pick. The second pick is a third round pick. You get the first, the third, and him as a player. You wouldn't take that?

SPEAKER_10

Fuck no.

SPEAKER_00

I would. Five. You got a player, you get a third round pick and a first round pick all in this year. That's not worth it, though.

SPEAKER_06

Like it's like No, that's not. That wouldn't even happen because it wouldn't happen until after the trade, anyway. June 1st is after the trade. I mean, after the uh draft.

SPEAKER_11

You think that's worth it? You think that's worth it. Honestly. Alright, I got a dude that can play corner. I got a dude that could play corner and punt return. And potentially I can throw him in at running back or wide receiver. Okay, cool. That's nice. Now I got a first round pick that's all the way at 27. I'm gonna have a first-round pick. I'm gonna have a first round pick because I'm gonna get in the playoffs, and it's gonna be late as well. Now they're gonna give me a third round pick, and I'm gonna give them a player that's gonna dominate their offense, potentially help them win a Super Bowl, because they just got there without really having no crazy ass offense, and potentially go against him. Now, the player that they're giving me, what is he gonna do to my for my team?

SPEAKER_06

The only the only real person I see us getting out of that is the boy Gonzalez.

SPEAKER_11

They're not giving him a game. And a pick, and a couple picks. That's what I'm saying. They're not gonna give Christian Gonzalez up.

SPEAKER_06

Then then he goes, then he goes to then I see him going, like I said, to LA.

SPEAKER_08

Pops, go ahead. Say what you were saying.

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, that's pretty much it. I mean, that was my proposed trade from what I saw. You could do the Miles Garrett thing.

SPEAKER_11

I don't think that's happening, bro. I honestly don't think that's a bad thing.

SPEAKER_00

But I don't think that that's happening, exactly. And then you could do the Max Crosby thing, but I think he damaged goods.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, we definitely don't want no Max Crosby over here.

SPEAKER_00

Right. So then that's it. That's the big splashes that's left.

SPEAKER_06

You know, you know who would have been a good safety if he would have made it to the league? Alan Iverson.

SPEAKER_00

But he wasn't he wasn't a safety, he was a corner. I mean, he played a little bit of both, though. He was a both it, but he wasn't big enough for the safety position. But you right, he played it.

SPEAKER_06

He played a little bit of safety. He played a little bit of a little defensive back. He was a running back and a cornerback. A quarterback, excuse me.

SPEAKER_00

A wide receiver, too.

SPEAKER_06

I didn't know he played wide receiver.

SPEAKER_11

Not a running back.

SPEAKER_06

He played running back. He played running back.

SPEAKER_11

Played quarterback too. And a wide receiver.

SPEAKER_06

I didn't know he played wide receiver. I knew he played running back. They have it listed as a running back, defensive back, quarterback. And he had some safety runs.

SPEAKER_00

So, you know, a lot of guys, and we're gonna switch to pivot right quick on uh talking about goats, you know, in just for a second. Everybody got a goat. And I know there's there's there's Kobe, and there's there's there's Jordan and there's LeBron. There's even Will Chamberlain. But all them dudes got rings. I get it. But AI, man, no rings, but man, you talking about the GOAT? Definitely could be a GOAT, one of the only players to win a state championship in two different sports in the same year. And look at those high profile positions, point guard, and on top of that, scoring, and on top of that, playing a whole nother sport and being the focal point of that said sport, winning two state championships in the same year.

SPEAKER_09

You're talking about a GOAT man, LeBron James won a state championship with his homeboys going against going against uh uh Carmelo Anthony.

SPEAKER_11

Let me tell let me stop hating on you. Let me stop hating on you. I'm just I'm just trolling, but he did though.

SPEAKER_06

He didn't for real. You don't you don't you don't never really see nobody do nothing like that. I mean, kudos to LeBron, nah, for real though. LeBron played football too. So how do you met before we before we really get into that, how do you feel about that, Michael? Because you're you're you're pro LeBron so much. How do you feel like he would have been in the NFL and what position you think he would have played?

SPEAKER_11

I feel like I feel like he was gonna be uh probably like a linebacker because how tall he is. I I could have seen him coming off the edge, but but he would have been such a crazy player to have been in the NFL. Because he could have played wide receiver, he could have played safety, he could have played, he could have played linebacker, but since his height, bruh, he would have probably played linebacker. He's 6'9, they wouldn't allow him to go all the way back there and be a fucking a huge uh safety, bro. Yeah, that that sounds cool, but he got the speed and all that, he wouldn't have been able to, they would have let him dominate the middle of the field, bro. Somebody come through that gap, they're getting hit by LeBron James. 6'6 You don't think he would have had 6'9 finish.

SPEAKER_06

I'm sorry, bro. 6'9, you don't think he would have had no offensive runs?

SPEAKER_11

Like, yeah, they would have I'm pretty sure they could have potentially made him uh uh uh an all-around player, but I'm I'm saying though, like he would have probably been like a gadget player. LeBron is a is a heck of an athlete, bro.

SPEAKER_06

He could have been playing that type of thing wasn't a thing back then. That type of thing wasn't a thing back then. So you like I get where you're going with that, um, but I don't I don't I I strongly disagree with that. He gadget players wasn't a thing until like recently, maybe maybe like bro.

SPEAKER_11

He's been playing for 20 years ago.

SPEAKER_06

I mean my point exactly what's your only started coming around 10 years ago. What's your position?

SPEAKER_00

What's your position for him?

SPEAKER_06

Who? You me? I thought I I kind of think he would have been the tight end. That's mine's uh tight end. I I can see him playing some defense, like it makes sense. The defensive part of it makes a lot of sense, but nah, he's he you gotta think about what he does in the in the league today. Thinking about what he does in basketball, he would have been more of a uh offensive guy.

SPEAKER_00

And look at what the kid Kelsey does over there in Kansas. Oh my god. In the in the going in the uh going in for a touchdown, Alley U plays, it would be unstoppable. All you gotta do is just throw it up and let him catch it over somebody, and he would moss the hell out of everybody in the red zone. Nobody would be able to deal with him.

SPEAKER_06

My shit, they could even if you if you want to go gadget player, they could have thrown it through his ass in that running back on a on a on a short one-yard line. Let's get in the end zone. We need LeBron.

SPEAKER_00

He would be unstoppable.

SPEAKER_11

That's that's true. That's that's that's a true belief. But I feel like I feel like because of the player he is in the league as being one of the best defenders in the league, he would be because what does he do? Get blocks, steals, defense. He can jump out the gym. Like he's 6'9, flying in the sky, boom, still doing that at like 40 years old, bro.

SPEAKER_12

I'm saying him at linebacker, bro, would have been crazy. Running down, getting tackles, trying to throw the ball over the middle would have been terrible. And don't let him hit you.

SPEAKER_06

Let him hit you. So compare him, compare him to somebody. Defensive wise, league-wise. I knew you was gonna say that shit. Ray Lewis. I knew he was gonna say that shit.

SPEAKER_11

Mixed with Fred Warner, mixed with Brian Dawkins.

SPEAKER_06

What, nigga? Get out of here, man.

SPEAKER_12

It's the road you've ever seen. Bro, LeBron's slow. So look, Ray Lewis, I don't know how fast Ray Lewis is, but I know he got the strength. So he got strength like Ray Lewis, he got IQ, because you're not gonna say LeBron doesn't have IQ. He has IQ like Fred Warner, and then he got a can do spirit and let's win this game, like who? Brian Dawkins.

SPEAKER_00

Can I just say one thing? One thing. Where do you think Lawrence Taylor? Where do you get LeBron James right at a middle linebacker where he has to lower his head and blow somebody up? He's not doing that.

SPEAKER_11

He don't have to do that. He can lower his head football with position. Show his shoulder.

SPEAKER_06

Tight end! He played he played tight end as a uh in high school football.

SPEAKER_00

Um come on, Mr. Goat. How do you not know about your own player?

SPEAKER_08

So he just played just play tight end, or what I know uh because I thought he was a wide receiver. I thought he was a wide receiver. Okay.

SPEAKER_06

A taller, slower version of Randy Moss. So Michael is right. He definitely was a wide receiver. Like an AJ Brown type shit?

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_11

He would be a big thing.

SPEAKER_06

Uh what's the dude name that that yeah, there you go. But I was gonna say, uh, what's the boy that just left the Bucks and went to uh other teams? No, he's still he's bigger. Evans?

SPEAKER_09

He's bigger, he's bigger than all of them, he's bigger than Kelvin Johnson. He's bigger than all of them.

SPEAKER_11

He would be the greatest wide receiver ever touching.

SPEAKER_06

He would have been 6'8, 222 at that time.

SPEAKER_11

So bro, and he's what right now, like 6'10, 6'9. LeBron James would have been out there snagging Moss and just grabbing shit out of the sky. Yeah, but he could have played so listen, listen, listen, listen, tight end, all of that shit.

SPEAKER_06

His sophomore year in football, he had 46 catches, not 105 yards, seven touchdowns. His junior year, he had 57 catches, 1,160 total yards, and 16 touchdowns. Altogether, he had 103 catches, 2065 yards altogether, receiving, and he had 23 receiving touchdowns. Okay. Who you compare that to? I I still go with uh Megatron.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, bro. I I just said he would be like a Calvin Johnson. He would just be Calvin Johnson long lasting. Think about a Calvin Johnson actually played long.

SPEAKER_00

If he'd have played longer, he would have been like that.

SPEAKER_11

Calvin Johnson just played, didn't play too long because his body hurt, man.

SPEAKER_00

Not to not to mention he played for a terrible team.

SPEAKER_11

You know, on you the only player on the team, so everybody guarding you, they trucking you and shit trying to trying to hurt you. Like, bruh, come on, bro. I was dealing with injuries every day. Always.

SPEAKER_06

He also played some spots at uh quarterback.

SPEAKER_11

LeBron James did everything, bro. But that's enough about LeBron going back to AI, bro. Dad, you can uh always AI you can take it from here.

SPEAKER_00

I told you, my my my goat is always AI. I mean, we ain't talking about practice.

SPEAKER_11

I mean, since we since we since we said we said how how do you feel like he impacted the game? How how do you feel like AI would have impacted the game if he was in football?

SPEAKER_06

And who do you think he would have played for?

SPEAKER_00

He he he would be a nasty corner.

SPEAKER_06

Who would he play for? Who would he play for? You think the Eagles still?

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. I mean, he would be a nasty corner though.

SPEAKER_11

It all depends on what when what time frame he was getting drafted. I feel like it would have just depended on that. Like when was he getting drafted? What was the time frame on that?

SPEAKER_06

That was like 1999?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, no, he was his he was drafted in 96, I believe. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, 96. So who who I I ain't gonna forget that because I was there LOL Old Man.

SPEAKER_06

Who's in that draft? Give me somebody out of that draft.

SPEAKER_11

Man, we don't know. Um, we're gonna we're just gonna move on, but that's not necessary. We're gonna move on. We don't we don't gotta do all that. That's not necessary. You asked the question of you said it depended on that time. That wasn't a question. I just said it is dependent on that time. We don't we don't got we're not trying to just sit here and try to re go back, re-inaline. Oh my gosh, so the way that these team was playing in it, come on, bro. We don't we don't we don't got time for that.

SPEAKER_06

All right, well, back on another note. Um, since we're talking about LeBron, uh, does he win the first series without with KD being out the first game? Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Since we're on the Sixers, how about we stay on the Sixers and let's talk about the Sixers in the playoffs?

SPEAKER_11

We're gonna lose the Boston first round next.

SPEAKER_09

Like I was saying, uh LeBron James, though, he's finna dunk on the whole squad. You hear me? No, they he finna he finna cook the Rockets.

SPEAKER_11

You hear me? No, they're not. Lakers and five. Uh Lakers and five? Nobody, no, nobody is finna stop LeBron James, bro. Thompson's gonna have to guard the point guard. He ain't gonna be able to guard everybody, bro. Thompson is the is the best defender on their team. So yeah, they got tall players, but they don't really know dominant offense without KD. Without KD, they're gonna lose. Until that's the GG's, it's the raps. That was the only way of winning the game.

SPEAKER_06

So what if KD what if KD sat out on purpose just to see what LeBron do?

SPEAKER_11

What do you mean? LeBron is gonna win.

SPEAKER_06

You think he's gonna win the series out? They're gonna beat them.

SPEAKER_11

How are they gonna though? How are they gonna beat him?

SPEAKER_06

I don't know. Because everybody counted them out, and they they not even supposed to be in the playoffs.

SPEAKER_08

No, who counted them out?

SPEAKER_06

A lot of people counted the Rockets out.

SPEAKER_08

I don't know nobody that did that. The Rockets was a young dominant team, and right now they're losing by more than 10 points.

SPEAKER_06

They were, bro, they was just game. Not too long ago, they were seven seeded. They are in the fifth seed now.

SPEAKER_11

That's nice, bro. Playing LeBron. That's simple.

SPEAKER_06

I don't I don't know, bro. I don't think LeBron wins this one. What you mean?

SPEAKER_11

He's winning right now, so it I don't think that matters.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, they win it right now, but Kate, you gotta remember KD not on the court.

SPEAKER_11

Hey, bro, so tell me tell me tell me who you who you think is gonna be scoring for for the Rockets. Who's gonna be the dominant score? Green.

SPEAKER_06

Green.

SPEAKER_11

He doesn't play for that team no more.

SPEAKER_06

He don't play there no more.

SPEAKER_11

If that he was still on the team, then they would have a chance.

SPEAKER_09

He doesn't play there, they don't have no play.

SPEAKER_06

He plays for the team. I ain't even gonna cap.

SPEAKER_11

He's probably the second best score on that team. I don't know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_06

I'm I just said he's not ass, but without without their true playmaker, I don't I don't know. Well, it's kind of it's kind of iffy in the air with them.

SPEAKER_08

He still has the most points on the team.

SPEAKER_00

K D ain't reliable anyway.

SPEAKER_06

Who's not reliable?

SPEAKER_08

KD? Shangoon has 16 points and seven rebounds, so I don't know. And he got four assists.

SPEAKER_06

I mean, you forget about the boy Thompson, Amin Thompson.

SPEAKER_11

He's just a defender, he's a defender. He has to elevate his shot, he has to get better at shooting threes.

SPEAKER_06

He's a defender, but he's been he's been playing very well offensively this year.

SPEAKER_11

Bro, he gets he gets he gets fast breaks points. He gets fast break points. He is not just running up and cooking somebody and doing all that. I don't know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_06

He has been doing that, he has been doing that this year.

SPEAKER_11

He has who against who? What teams has he done that to? He's he's not he's he's getting better at shooting, he's not even that good at shooting. He's tall, so yes, of course, he can go dunk the ball, lay the ball up. Other than that, bro, he he's a defender, bro. So he gets his points off of fast breaks. There's nothing wrong with that, bro.

SPEAKER_08

There's nothing wrong with that.

SPEAKER_06

I still feel like they got a fighting chance. I feel like when when KD comes back next game, they'll have a fighting chance. They don't.

SPEAKER_08

You saying they don't, but you just said they're gonna be three, bro.

SPEAKER_06

His first season, he shot 30. I'm gonna Jabari Smith Jr. too, bro. Jabari Smith been balling this season, and they got Scottie Pippinson, and they got Fred Van Fleet, that nigga be balling, and they got um Steven Adams, and they got Jeff Green, bro. Stop, bro. Even the bull, even the ball Finley.

SPEAKER_08

Stop. You just said Fred Van Fleet, bro. Stop. What's wrong with Fed Van Fred Van Fleet? What's wrong with him? He is not who everybody thought he was, bro. He's not him.

SPEAKER_06

That nigga just helped he helped Tarano win the title. What are you talking about? Him and him and no Kawhi Kawhi Leonard did it. Kawhi ain't do that shit by yourself.

SPEAKER_09

Who did it then? Right. Fred didn't do shit. What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_06

Definitely was a part of that.

SPEAKER_11

Kawhi Leonard, if he's not on that team, they're not even making the playoffs.

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_09

Look, Kawhi Leonard was the best thing on that team, and he made them win. He forced them to win. Every clutch shot, he did it. Every defensive stop, he did it.

SPEAKER_11

I was gonna say something else to make it rhyme, but I know what they say. Right, but right.

SPEAKER_00

Right. And don't do it.

SPEAKER_06

I love how y'all just be like counting these other players out. The boy Reed Shepard, he's nice. He definitely be balling.

SPEAKER_10

You're right, Kenny. You're right, bro. No, 100%. I agree.

SPEAKER_06

I love how when I when I start telling y'all about these players that that I feel like be balling, you don't know what you're doing.

SPEAKER_11

You don't even watch them, bro. Stop it.

SPEAKER_06

I do watch them.

SPEAKER_11

Alright, bro.

SPEAKER_08

True. Stop it, man.

SPEAKER_06

Alright, to the Sixers. To the Sixers.

SPEAKER_09

We're gonna be Boston.

SPEAKER_11

Are we now? No, we but we're gonna be Boston, bro. Stop it.

SPEAKER_06

I mean, Jason Tatum came back looking like a man out of a movie. So because he never was hurt, bro.

SPEAKER_00

You don't think so? No. Yes, ma'am.

SPEAKER_11

That's crazy work. Bro, ain't bro, bro. Ain't lose a step and he had a torn. His knee blew up and weird. He's get off me, uh. Doing the same shit, bro. I don't know. I feel like personal. Alright, so look, they have a better, they have a better it ain't all about him either though. They have a better smile forward. They don't have a better point guard. They don't have a better they have a better shooting guard. Uh they have a better smile forward, they don't have a better center than us. And they they do have a better power forward.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, they got a room of point guards, though. Their their point guards are nice. The white board.

SPEAKER_11

They're not better than ours. They don't have one point guard on their team that's better than Tyrese Max. Stop it. They have a good, a better shooting guard, because yeah, he's better than than VJ, but nigga, White is like that, bro.

SPEAKER_06

Who Jalen Green?

SPEAKER_11

I mean Jalen Brown. No. He plays small forward and Tatum be playing power for it, bro. And then they have uh White. They have him played shooting guard. Derek, Derek White? Yeah, and then they put Pritchard, they put you think he's better.

SPEAKER_06

You think he's better than VJ?

SPEAKER_11

Yes, yes. 100,000 percent yes. What is he not better than him at? What is he not better than him at?

SPEAKER_01

I just asked a question. What do you think that he wasn't? I'm not talking to you.

SPEAKER_11

I'm not talking to you. Why are you shaking your head no? What is he not? What is Derek White not better than him at?

SPEAKER_00

I cannot believe you won't sit there and say that Derek White is better than DJ Edgecombe. Derek White's not? Have you ever seen that fool from the freaking Boston Celtics ever dunk on anybody?

SPEAKER_11

So that's what you think makes him better than him? Derek White is a great player, bro. He is a great player. I ain't never seen Derek White. I don't care. I I bet you see him run up though and hit some threes. I bet you see him run up and score a bucket. I bet you see him run up and play good defense.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, so let me ask you VJ Edgecomb do the same thing, though. Can I say one thing? Let me ask you a lot of things.

SPEAKER_11

VJ has more potential than Derek White. Derek White is at his full potential right now. VJ is not at his full potential. You cannot tell me VJ is better than him right now. He has potential to be better than him, but he's not better than him right now.

SPEAKER_06

So would you would you prefer for somebody to say that he's gonna have a better career?

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, you can say that. He could. He could. Derek White is good, bro. He has potential. Derek White is actually good, bro. Okay. You can't take that away from him.

SPEAKER_00

I was about to let I was about to unleash when you, but I'm not.

SPEAKER_06

No diddy. No did he. I was finna let you have it, buddy. Get a load of this guy.

SPEAKER_00

All I know is all he does is shoot threes. Can I tell the story? You good. Tell the story. Yeah, he plays some good D, and he's a pretty good facilitator. Right. Okay. But other than those three things, right? That's it with him. Okay, now VJ Edgecomb shoes threes, like him, can facilitate like him. But unlike him, he dunks, gets tips, rebounds, plays good defense, maybe even better defense. Bro, potentially he's way better of a player. Your boy from the Boston Celtics, all he is is proven. And so I'm gonna give you I'ma give you that. Because he is proven. And this is Edgecomb's first year, so he hasn't proven it yet. But based off his potential, come on, bro. Are you serious?

SPEAKER_11

Okay. Um Derek White can take a game over. Can BJ do that?

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_11

Yes, he has. No, he hasn't.

SPEAKER_06

I was about to say that.

SPEAKER_11

He has. He hasn't.

SPEAKER_06

We've needed to be.

SPEAKER_11

He really can't beat. Can I talk? BJ Edgecomb, bro. I have sat here and watched this man play 40 minutes and do nothing. No, that's a fact. I've watched him play 40 minutes and do nothing. I've seen him walk up the court, give the ball away, go sit in the corner. No one we're down. He don't go try to get a bucket. Tyrese Maxie, we're down. Give me the ball. He's running around always looking for the ball, trying to get a bucket in. Even if he even if VJ wasn't even supposed to be scoring, he can move the ball around. He moves the ball and gets away. Like, why are you moving the ball and then going away? And then you see him sit there. Like you literally see him sit here. Like he don't move. He don't try to get open. He watched, he just be watching the game on the court sometimes. Like, yeah, I get it. He's a rookie. Bro, Derek White will get in the game and score and help them win the game. Like he's all right, bro. Boom, boom. Like, boom, get some passes in, some shit. Like, VJ can score. Yes. I'm not taking that away from him. I'm not saying he's not good. He does not get in the game and change it if something needs to be changed. Like, nobody's gonna be like, oh shit, VJ on the court. Like, no, VJ's on the court. Okay, I have somebody guarding me now. Just, but he's not gonna do nothing on offense if they're not trying to force it through him. Or if the if the coach is not trying to tell them to run the game through him.

SPEAKER_00

He's gonna move away and then you just said he's a rookie. So he's playing longer than he ever has as a rookie. And you know, you hit that rookie ball. I'm not saying that the board don't take games over and he's not a pro approving. He got a fucking ring, and he was influential in winning that ring. I ain't taking nothing away from him. But for a guy that just came into the league is being a bit overwhelmed with the 82-game season that he's not used to. So at times, yeah, you you you catch him, you know, just watching. And he be stuck. But his potential, man, is is is crazy. Yeah, his potential is crazy.

SPEAKER_06

So what more would you want to see out of what more would you want to see out of VJ for you to think that VJ is somewhat on Derek White's level?

SPEAKER_11

No, he's better than Derek White. I'm just saying he's not better than Derek White right now. Next season, he's better than Derek Wright. 100%. All right, like I'm not y'all not come on, bro. I'm I'm looking at the jersey. The jersey right over there. Actually, the jersey. Yeah, I'm gonna go to the other.

SPEAKER_06

So would you want to see him take over more games?

SPEAKER_11

I want to see. Would you just want to see him speak over more games? I want to see him be somebody. We believe we're letting his flashes, we're letting his flashes show who he is to us. We know who he is from his flashes, where he comes from, who he is. The league that don't follow our team, that don't know his story, like somebody that just watches VJ for the first time, will be like, that nigga's just a role player. If they do not know his story. You watch again, you somebody watches a game with Jason Tatum playing, they're gonna be like, damn, that nigga, he the star of the team. He he the score. You're gonna know that from how he's playing.

SPEAKER_01

Depending on what you thought they would say that about Derek White.

SPEAKER_11

Derek White is a is a good role player. I mean, but he's you can't say that he's already proven he's been playing for years. I'm saying, yeah, this is his first season, so you get that, yeah. But I'm I'm saying VJ needs to find who he is, bro. He needs to show who he is. Yeah, we know who you are, we know what type of player you can be, we know what you can do, but you need to do it day in, day out. Yeah, you're consistent, yeah. You're not getting injured and shit. That's good. You need to go out there and produce that like nigga. This is you're on the team, bro. You made it already, you're here. Now show us. I feel like because when he missed a shot, he literally be saying, when you see a player say, My bad, yeah. Sometimes some players say that so if they they be playing around too much, you'd be like, hey, my bad. But nah, he over here missing shots, he'd be like, Yeah, my bad. Like, like, it's it, I see it's it get to him. He he's he's letting the moment outshine who he is. Like, you we know you're good, bro. You have to believe in yourself like we believe in you. You know what I'm saying? You can turn up, bro. You miss a shot, you miss a shot. So what? Stop being scared to shoot it because you might miss. That's why he pulls a lot of shots away. But then sometimes he's not scared at all. Then he just shoot the hole like in a clips. But he'd be like, bro, I can do this, bro. Give me the ball. Like, that that's that's the that's who he needs to be all the time. Not just sometimes and be like, oh, he's not too big for some moments. Yes, he is, and they be saying that on TV, and I'm pretty sure he watches hear that shit. He'd be like, damn, bro, I can't I can't be scared sometimes.

SPEAKER_06

So you want to see him with his confidence, basically, yeah, bro. You want him to build his confidence up in the league. I mean, but that comes with the that comes with the that comes with the um damn, it comes with being a part of the game, bro. That comes with him learning still, he's only a rookie. I know it comes with the him to be like that and still who how he is in the league right now, that shows something about him, and then by next year, next season, bro, he'll fuck around and have a a whole better shot, have a whole better mentality, he'll be more conditioned.

SPEAKER_11

He will. He's not even under conditioned, he's perfectly conditioned. He plays 40 minutes, yeah. Every night, 82 games straight.

SPEAKER_06

Nah, for real. So all right, with with that being said, do you feel like what's going on with Embiid? Do you feel like he comes back?

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, he's not going nowhere. They can't leave him, they can't give him up.

SPEAKER_06

I'm not talking about Are you saying will he retire?

SPEAKER_11

Win or lose? Yeah, depending on how the season ends, like depending on how if we lose first round, he's retiring. But if not, then he's he'll come back.

SPEAKER_06

You'll think he'll run it back one more. Yeah, if we if we lose first round, nah, he's he's gone. But uh So is it like is it like too early to talk about what they're gonna do with him in the offseason? No. Or or should we just wait until after the first round? Oh, until all of this shit is over first round.

SPEAKER_11

We can we can yeah, yeah, let's just do that. We could we could we could have spoken on it. You think I'm saying we could have spoken on it, but I I I feel like I feel like we're we're not losing for I don't feel like we're gonna lose the first round. We might go seven games, but we're not losing first round.

SPEAKER_06

We can beat the you think that we you think we beat Boston in the first round.

SPEAKER_11

They're not an unbeatable team.

SPEAKER_06

The only reason why I'm not saying that, but they they have our card, they always beat us when it comes to it.

SPEAKER_11

The only reason they win games is because somebody's always not there when they're playing. Oh, Paul George's not here, Joel and B not here. Now we gotta try to stop these big ass dudes from running in the fucking paint, and all they want to do is ISO. All they want to do is ISO, and then when they want to play fundamental basketball, oh shit, you don't want to see that. But bro, the whole point is if you're actually playing defense like we do, and you got Bona running down, slapping shit.

SPEAKER_06

I was about to say that too. How do you feel about Bona?

SPEAKER_09

I wasn't even putting Bona play like that against them, and when he's gonna be able to do it. How do you feel about Bona being there now? Bro, it's gonna be good. I'm telling you, bro.

SPEAKER_00

That two that two that two-headed pony between Drummond and then Bono. That works without Joel and B.

SPEAKER_11

Joel and B just to score.

SPEAKER_06

Do y'all feel like if it's like that y'all feel like I know like I said, I know it's a little too early to be talking about this, but like next season, do you see them picking up anybody to like enhance that room? No, the like the center room.

SPEAKER_11

I see them, I see them improving Bona's game. If Bona starts scoring, oh my gosh, he can be bam out of bio right now. Bona can be bam out of bio, yes, and he could be better than him, he's faster than him, bro. He is uh he's an athletic freak, bro. Bro, it's straight. If he will just end that the guy that dunked on um LeBron? Who Bona. No, bro. That's not him. No, you're talking about that front. That French. That's a French dude that don't play here no more, bro. Okay. Uh this is Abu Sele. Yeah. He don't he don't play here no more. Abu Sali. Yeah, he don't play here.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, Abuselli. Where where he at? Ain't he with um he he left New York, right?

SPEAKER_11

I know I think he might be on New York, I believe. He might be, I don't know. Oh who? The Knicks? Yeah, he might be on the Knicks. No, I think he left the Knicks.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, he plays for Portland. Wow, that's where he at. They sent T as to Buffalo.

SPEAKER_11

But that that's that's Bona is Bona is the move. Bona, and we y'all we be forgetting that we got the dude that that he got one of those centers that won uh a which one yeah. We got bro he he just don't play. Who he just don't be just get on the fucking court, bro? He's good. He just gotta play, right? But he haven't played in the guy. I don't know why.

SPEAKER_00

From Auburn. Won the national championship.

SPEAKER_11

In the final in the middle, and he got like low. He got he's a young dude though.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah, he a under he an undersized big man that got a hell of a shot. And he got a knack for scoring.

SPEAKER_11

He light skinned. He was nasty in college. You never seen him? Yeah, light skinned dude. He's straight, bro. That dude is good, bro. He just don't play.

SPEAKER_00

He next year and the year after and the year after. Because they used uh he he was a high draft pick. He was like a a high a high uh second two second round draft pick.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, second or third. I think I think it was second though. Uh it was either second. But yeah, bro. That's a good dude.

SPEAKER_00

Ham and the first one, the first one was Edgecomb, and then he was the second one.

SPEAKER_11

So they both rookies, he just don't get he just don't you're not getting a chance. He just don't get no play. But them, it's a it's a lot of potential right there, especially with Bona. If Bona just starts scoring, like if Bona becomes some type of shooting machine, dunking machine, like he starts dribbling, like if uh if Bona can dribble and he can start doing pull-up J's, running up and really just start dunking on shit, he be wanting to do that shit anyway. He already be one to dunk. Like he do he be do that shit sometimes, but like if he knows how to get to the basket like dribbling or something, man, he's going to be a problem, bruh. Like, if Joel and B taught him a thing or two, like to get to the rim, like instead of moving all slow, like he be doing, moving quick, that shit's over with.

SPEAKER_06

That shit's over with. You talking about Johnny, Johnny Broom? Yeah, yeah. They got him on here as a power forward. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_11

But he's he's short, he's not as big, but he played center in college.

SPEAKER_00

He likes 6'9.

SPEAKER_11

He's good though. 6'10.

SPEAKER_06

He's good.

SPEAKER_11

He would be a good power for it. He's good.

SPEAKER_06

They say is it he's off injury, he was injured. Yeah, bro.

SPEAKER_11

That's why he dropped down. He was supposed to go first round.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, he had a knee injury.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, he was injured. He was injured coming out of college. That's what I just said.

SPEAKER_11

That's why he dropped down. He was supposed to be the first round pick, bro.

SPEAKER_00

Mm-hmm. He would have been the first round pick if he if he hadn't got hurt.

SPEAKER_06

So you think they would have picked him over at Edgecomb?

SPEAKER_11

No. No. I didn't say that.

SPEAKER_06

He wouldn't have been that that high.

SPEAKER_11

He wouldn't have been that high. He would have been like in like the 20th.

SPEAKER_00

Edgecomb was the third pick overall. He would have probably been like maybe 10th, maybe 15th, maybe 20th. More 15th and 20th than 10th. Yeah, he'd have been like 18th, something like that. He might have even been higher than that. They was in the the final four. No, they lost in the championship, right?

SPEAKER_11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12

Everybody's favorite part of the show, man.

SPEAKER_00

Don't make me.

SPEAKER_06

It's perfect timing.

SPEAKER_00

So being as though you're talking, go ahead.

SPEAKER_11

Uh so I'm gonna start with a rant.

SPEAKER_01

Um technical difficulty difficulties, guys.

SPEAKER_03

Do I want to rant today? I don't know if you don't want to rant.

SPEAKER_11

I thought we did both. Actually, yeah, I'm gonna rant. Um always uh always uh put yourself first, man. Don't let people take advantage of you. Um sometimes you outgrow people and especially when they're close to you. Even if you like it wind up being your best friend or something like that. You know what I'm saying? Y'all life paths may just separate because of how you're doing or how they're doing in life. And you know, it's nothing wrong with like trying to keep keep it going or elevate with them, but like sometimes it just it just don't work that way. Or even if y'all on different life paths, it just might not work that way. You know, it could be over anything, jealousy, you know. Just don't be that person that has the jealousy if you you know what I'm saying. If it's the other person, you know, you could try to work it out with them then. But if that it is what it is, it is what it is. But don't don't be that person to be jealous, don't be that person to be hateful or spiteful. Because I'm pretty sure if they're your friend, bruh, and they're trying, or you're their friend and you're trying. You know what I'm saying? You obviously want what's best for them. All right, you want to see them grow, help them grow, whatever. Put yourself first, man. Don't uh don't just try to keep like sacrificing yourself to be there for other people. Uh my rave is boy, I'm working on that music, man. Uh I just dropped my EP not too long ago. Uh working on some new music right now. I just went to this dude yesterday, just made some new stuff for my homie Brando. Uh doing a lot of music, working on stuff with people from Philly. Uh uh family friend and Lil D. Um got a lot of stuff coming. So y'all stay tuned. More merch is dropping and all that. We we getting we're getting everything together for y'all. New clothes. And we're still so we're gonna do two giveaways. We're gonna give away two jerseys. We're gonna do it half and half. So when we get to the 100, we're gonna do 50 and 50. So we're gonna do it like that. So since it's we got two hundreds, we're gonna do two halves. So fifty and fifty. Yeah, so everybody have a chance. So two people will win instead of just one. So and it's whatever jersey you want. Uh we're gonna figure out a way to contact y'all, whatever. Yeah, man, that was my rant, my rave.

SPEAKER_00

Big dog can. We ain't gonna finish with me. I mean with you. We gonna finish with me. This your thing, then go ahead and do it. Perfect timing.

SPEAKER_06

Uh, my rant for today is um, I kind of I'm kind of gonna feed off. I know I do this a lot, but it the energy be there. So I'm gonna I'm gonna just stick to the energy. Um, I'm gonna feed off ace. It don't matter who it is. Um, I've been telling y'all this since the beginning of this of this podcast. It takes a lot for this to happen. It takes a lot for us to be here. Um, everybody got their own individual lives. So it's not the easiest to make sure that we put this together for y'all. Um, it's a lot of emotion and a lot of a lot of feelings and everything else that goes into this. So, with that being said, you gotta remember first and foremost that you are human and people go through things. Regardless of them being your friends, your family, girlfriends, boyfriends, whatever. I don't care. But remember to keep yourself first. Like Ace said, gang. You you gotta remember at the end of the day, you all you got, regardless of what's on your plate, regardless of what's on the next person's plate. You shouldn't be looking there, but regardless of what's on your plate, remember that you come first over everything because without you, there would be no that. It would be no this. You see what I'm saying? Um, just continue to strive for greatness no matter what you're feeling. You're gonna have your rough days, and you're gonna have some some of the best days. It's always gonna rain, and it's all the sun, sun always. And it's no super glorifiable days. You either get half, you get this half, or you get that half. A yin and a yang. You're gonna have good days and you're gonna have bad days. So, with that being said, just continue to strive and forge forward through everything that you are in. Don't let nobody tell you that you can't. Don't let nobody uh knock you off your square. And don't let nobody allow you to think that you're less of what you are. It's it's no drug, it's no alcohol in this world that can make you a better person. The only person that's gonna make you a better person is yourself, and that comes with hard work and dignity. Um that was my rant. My rave is just uh no, no, no. We're gonna I'm gonna back that out. I'm gonna back that out. My rave is God. God is so prevalent in life, gang, and He He keeps us He keeps us grounded here. This this family is definitely touched by God in so many ways. We wouldn't be able to do what we're doing for y'all. Um just praise God. That's all I got. Give God the glory every single day and every single night. God is God is the best, and he'll he'll set you straight if you allow him to. Find the word. And that's my rant, and that's my rave.
