Jerry Jones Signs CeeDee: What Does It Mean for Dak and Micah? things ain't what they seem they tell me don't get caught up dreaming live inside reality bro go and Chase your dream been crucified on Mur be all voices in my head make me scre shut the [ __ ] up by myig what's good everybody welcome to another episode of the culture shf I'm your host juice got my bro G with me yes sir man to start off of course we going to Breaking damn news jar finally signed CDs took long enough but why why why why why now why he ain't been dead this understand it I mean we can all Jerry's done this in the past so it's not like it's anything new he's I I don't even think it's for news or anything like that I just think it's Jerry saying I'm going to see if I can have my way before you force your way but of course CD is too important to really play that game with as he found out when he did it with Dez he did it with Zeke he did it with emit back in the days so he's always lost these big Showdown battles so it's kind of like I don't know I think Jerry just at that age where he just feel like I I I can push the button but it's not g i was blow when I seen it but what's what's what's funny is he just stubborn as hell that's what I that's what I think he stubborn as hell cuz like the the he the money is right around the ballpark to what I kind of figured it was going to be I ain't I ain't think it was gonna be like 150 or some [ __ ] like that but I don't I just don't understand but now I'm trying to figure out wonder what they gonna do with um with Dak and still you still got Michael who got to get signed I mean the good the good thing is Michael isn't really a proring to next year um Dak of course I think with CD signing I think now going to get his deal he's just going to get an extension um pretty much probably in the ballpark of you know somewhat I guess between Baker Mayfield and somewhere above maybe Trevor Lawrence's New Deal somewhat like that just to kind of push his money up but I think it's kind of still Dak is still gonna be pretty much playing on a one to a two-year deal so it's like if Dak doesn't do it this year I think it's just one of those they're just gonna cut cut and cut bait with man I would not sign that to another damn contract I would not sign them to another contract man I think you have to because of the cap money I think that's the reason why you have to make this extension because if you don't you're looking at a bunch of dead cap money um I I don't have the numbers with me to see it but I I think that's what it boils down to if you don't sign this extension then you on hook for a ton of money um that's going to hit the cap so that that's why you know these contracts really they come down to that it's mostly trying to figure out okay how much of this money is gonna hit this year how much of this money is gonna hit later down the line so a lot of times you see these extensions it's just something to kind of push that money further down the line so it doesn't count against you as much in you know this year and whatnot okay okay I mean [ __ ] I guess damn I guess they just got to bite the bullet then I mean at this point in the game you because all I can say if they don't sign Dak this year they're gonna lose him for sure next year because somebody's gonna pay him every bit of penny that he wants and he's like I played your game I played the last year of my contract I'm I'm out I mean there desperate yeah Dallas is not gonna be able to say well you know we we want to pay you and you know you kicked this contract down the the line the last time so you don't you probably not going to get a a redo when it comes to it she right but that's they damn man but you know what as much as I do be talking [ __ ] about him but I I I do understand like it is only one person you know one team that win the Super Bowl are year but it's just that I saw this this God damn um this this list man that that nfl.com or something on Instagram and they had the Cowboys as the high they had they had they have had the highest win percentage in the last like in the Super Bowl era I think is what it said the Super Bowl era if I'm not mistaken and and and it's like bro all y'all Super Bowls came in the 90s type [ __ ] yeah I mean that [ __ ] don't add up well I mean they they have been they have been a winning franchise I mean they have had a bunch of eight and eight seasons of two and they just haven't really had a bunch of losing Seasons so if you just look at it over the course you know like because New England was not the New England that they were under bichi um so you know they they had a bunch of losing seasons and I mean the only people that come to mind are probably Pittsburgh San Francisco Green Bay teams like that that may have had pretty decent Seasons so I mean yeah they I mean they've always been a a a name franchise and a decent winning franchise they just in the last what 25 Going on 30 years they just hav be able to sniff the Super Bowl they don't need to be America's team then so did you see hey did you um before before we holl at um about this about this Brian Flores [ __ ] and uh tour did you did you did you see had read this little article man it was talking about the Chiefs talking about something they they might they they could be potentially moving back to Dallas so I was like you know how these clips be man you know how like these little like them articles they try to get you with with like so I forgot what it said but I just know interested me so I'm reading it and it's like the the owner I guess he submitted Chiefs Moving Back to Dallas? Exploring Stadium Financing like a $500 million uh plan to re to renovate the uh Stadium make it a little better whatever the case may be so of course the taxpayers going have to pay for that they rejected it right so of course they rejected it so that mean he GNA have to pay for it man he talking about something because of that like he think they they might end up moving it moving back to Dallas I didn't even know they was in Dallas before yeah they were the Texans play of the old um team and then then of course when they moved out to Kansas you know Dallas moved in and they became the Cowboys and the rest is history so yeah I mean the Hunts are the Hunts are really trying to play that leverage game with taxpayer money like you know somebody need to pay for this stadium and I'm not going to be the one um BR bro you dead ass serious yeah I mean that's same thing happened in San Diego same thing happened in Oakland all of this what boil down to these owners want their stadiums paid for because you know they feel like the revenue that those stadiums will bring in for a city are far greater than what the taxpayers are gonna be paying so they look at it like okay I'm G to bring you in a a billion dollar Stadium you're gonna triple whatever I'm asking you to cost whatever the you know like he saying 500 million he feels like they're going to Triple that just with all the revenue that the city's going to get with you know Hotel s um vendors everything like that is going to cause a boost to the economy I mean plus you're talking about a Patrick Mahomes Le team right now so these are like I said these are billionaires these are people who aren't just just people who just playing with money what they've already they made their money doing this kind of stuff before using other people money that's what that's what they don't use their own goam money there you go so I mean why why spend my 500 million when I can get you to loan me 500 yeah so I did see the article as well all I say is with Jared Jones in Dallas it ain't gonna happen because he's already gone on record saying in 2022 saying I I'm not gonna be supportive of this agenda so I mean the mayor of Dallas got on there saying yeah it would be nice to have the the Texans come back home and Blas Blas I mean yeah it looks good now because Mahomes is there and everything and the Boost that it would bring you know having two teams in the city or whatnot but I don't see it I mean I I really don't do I see them leaving Kansas City possibly because it's happened so many times with franchises lately that they've just outstayed their welcome so it's like we'll move to the next best city I mean right now I think um San Antonio was on the short list um I even heard them bringing up possibly Portland and places like that but secretly I mean if if another team is going to take Kansas City I would like it to be somewhere like Orlando or san dieo yeah come to Florida we'll treat you right momes you saw how we did Brady we'll get you right Bo I mean [ __ ] he lost his wife but we'll get you right we'll get you right oh wait m is mahes with one of them snow bunnies ain't of course oh yeah yeah we'll get you right we'll get you right Mah come on to um Florida man but you saw um matter of fact just just to add on that's that's some that's some extortion [ __ ] though that that you don't pay for my [ __ ] y give me a loan I'm I'm I'm a threaten to leave that's some [ __ ] that's flaw as hell that's flaw as hell you ain't used your money all this time you so you mean tell me you can't use your money this one time time you want to borrow your money for you want to borrow everything well I mean they can they can do like Jared Jarry built his own stadium as you can see but Jared gets all of most of the revenue from that Stadium too so it's you know it's it's I know smart he's smart smart shrewd operator yeah yeah that's I don't know what what do you think about Brian Flores man and and what Tua said about him I ain't gonna lie to you I would I'm I'm a big fan of Brian Flores when he was with Miami even though they suck but [ __ ] he was a black black coach I was glad he got hired because it wasn't a lot and then I was surprised that it was St Ross team that that that that but I was shocked man I was blow when he when he when he when T came out and said what he said and I'm a firm believer in you know you you you treat everybody fair but not the same but I mean damn to to if he really said those things like that and then he didn't deny it when he when he when he did make his little statement you know what I'm saying I grew you know what I'm Brian Flores and Tua: Dynamics and Surprises saying I'm learning you know what I'm saying like [ __ ] me up Wonder two look like that that man ain't have no confidence well say this I think two and TR both on that fine line of when we talk trying to motivate ourselves motivate our kids and a coach to a player you know per basis so I mean can I talk to my child like that and would they receive it the same because if I had a boy I probably would be hard on him I don't know if I said proba you know what I I be I probably would say some of the words that Brian used on to if he was playing like that or whatnot be like yeah you you suck today and so me being me criticizing my child I believe they would receive it a totally different than how Tua probably proceeded it from his head coach because his head coach before him probably was just as tough on him but probably didn't say it in that manner yeah that degrading way yeah so all I would say I just think that they had a real fluid situation is because Brian didn't really want Tu as much as the organization pushed Tua on him so you have to think about it him like all right so I got to get the most out of somebody I don't really want and like you said I'm I'm I'm really in a situation where I'm really the scapegoat for whatever goes on here but you know what even in that situation what was his record he was above 500 both year so yeah I mean what we can look at now is like Tua look pedestrian when Brian Flores was his coach and he looks like a totally different UM quarterback now that Mike McDaniel has his hand on and definitely but but but Brian Flores ain't have uh uh Tyreek Hill though let me just throw that in this one I mean I throw that out this way but I mean I would also say that Brian Flores is a defensive minded coach as well so I don't think he was going to he wasn't going to really put as much Innovation into tua's game as much as Mike mcams came in say okay this is my first headit coaching job I need to do whatever schemes whatever works that gonna make Tu flourish as best as he can but okay we even with that that though I'm with you but even with that said Tu still looked kind of pedestrian even when the games really were getting close when they got tight when they really needed him to step up and make some plays to have reverted back to some of his old ways he he couldn't move the ball against Kansas City in the playoffs he couldn't move the ball in the last of the regular season when they needed to win a game just to get the division Crown so it's kind of like okay is Brian Brian for is probably like you said he stood up as a man and said hey I need to grow some I didn't probably need to use those um those terms with someone but you also also got to remember too blind for is came from a deell Chic tree where they treated Brady like that yeah and I mean Brady was able to take it say look hey teammates I mean Brady came out in statement and said look if I can take it then my teammates are looking like oh I know I better step my game up because if Brady can get cussed out like this and told and criticize then I know I need to be on my p's and q's because I know the heat can come from me in any time so I mean honestly I'll say this I don't really feel sympathy for T because I think you know he just ran to someone who was really a hard coach and I mean I would just only say that if he had grew up in the era that we grew up in he would have really he would have he would have gotten some harsher criticism and just you suck I mean so so I mean to be honest I mean it's kind of like I'll compare it to but I know it's a whole lot different when soldiers go into boot camp and places like that they they break them in they they degrade them they make them feel like they're the worst of the worst only because they want them to build up that callous for when you're out on that Battlefield you cannot be thinking about my feelings or or because it's going to break your concentration on what you are assigned to do I mean like I say it's totally different with a football playing a soldier and I get it and I don't want to you know um degrade anyone who's been in the military because I know I haven't been in it but I know family members who have and I know the story they told me they had to go through so I understand it but that's what I'm saying a a drill will put that in your head like oh you're you know you're just a maggot you're just this and you need to get out of my line and everything like that and he's only trying to say okay either I break you as a friendly person or the enemy is gonna break you and they're not going to worry about your down it's gonna be much worse because I'm doing this [ __ ] out of love yeah yeah man I don't know we I guess we going to damn I just I just hate that it came out like that cuz you know the whole situation that Brian Flores was having with the league now and you know him trying to build himself back up to get a caching position you know what I'm saying and just to coming out like that and not only that it's a white Coach now who who who treating you like this you get what I'm saying so it's just so many different Dynamics with that but yeah I mean hey it is what it is but I guess we'll see but to ah I don't know man if that but if that was true if that was true like cuz like I I don't mind being criticized and [ __ ] but man just don't like don't cuss me and don't like degrade me and [ __ ] like you know what I'm saying like that's the that's the that's the kind of that's like how I feel cuz [ __ ] we we all grown out here you know what I'm saying so it it it goes to what we're g to talk about later with the the um difference in errors because like I said though I mean I get it even as a man you don't want to another man making you feel smaller than you are trying to talk you down like you you can't you can't talk to me like I'm a man but like I said I think it come it comes from one where Flores came from and it's from like he's he's trying to say look if if I can break you then I know your opponent's gonna break you so I want you to feel I want you to toughen yourself where you feel that you that you're cracking like if I'm making you crack then you know your opponent's over there telling you everything that your mama don't want to hear so I mean come on you gota take it and build build yourself up from it that's all I can say I mean I've heard worse and I was six years old playing football and my coaches me too yeah me too and it was just playing like I ain't really play organized football but yeah yeah yeah but um it's been a lot of a lot of change throughout throughout the n fa this this off season big names small names nobody but playoff team do you feel like has the has the least chance to make it this year or just won't make it this year I know who mine is be I want you to go first because I want to hear to think it's gonna be Buffalo it's going to be Buffalo I think it's going to be Buffalo love and I hope I'm wrong though so this kind of so this this kind of two this kind of a two-way uh motive right here what I'm doing G on the one hand I'm trying to I'm trying to throw some [ __ ] out there and hopes that I'm wrong STI yeah and so I'm so hopefully I'm wrong and then the [ __ ] go out there and ball you know what I'm talking about that's what I hope he do but but um uh yeah cuz I just feel like not they got they did draft the receiver but I just feel like I don't really know what Josh Allen is going to be like post Stefan dig and it's just me being real because I know before he was I know he still got k k but before B before Diggs was there I mean he he was kind of much just like a a gunslinger but um I mean he wasn't he was still good but he wasn't he wasn't Playoff Chances: Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans that Josh Allen that we seen you know once Stefan once he got that number one receiving Stefan did and I know he going make a lot of [ __ ] happen I'm rooting for him but I just don't know you know where they where they kind of stand at and I know it's other teams that I could choose from Pittsburgh they made it hell the bucks um who else uh Eagles I mean there's other teams that I could pick but n really really I could I could say Pittsburgh but I'm just saying like as I just think Buffalo I don't really know what you know what I'm saying what going to get from cuz they lost their receivers hell even the other receiver that you did have that didn't really show up that much Gabe they was gone so it's like [ __ ] I don't really know what the [ __ ] they working with then on the defensive side Matt Milano got hurt again and he gone again so this [ __ ] is just like I don't know what I don't know what the hell we can expect from Buffalo this year bro I really don't even with Joe Brady being over though I know they gonna run the ball a lot yeah I mean so I didn't pick Buffalo of course but I'll I'll counter your parts to saying I think Buffalo was they were a playoff team before digs right okay so in the way I look at it in the last seven games last year they were out of the playoffs but they played better ball in order to make the playoffs and won the division and everything right in those seven games did gave you nothing nothing I canest that because he was I see what you're saying I see what you're saying so even with even with Gabe Davis and DS giving you little to nothing in those seven games they were still a competent offense and winning games pretty much and yeah they were they were they played better ball so I mean yeah yeah I would say it's tough because of the division they're in I I I do get that and the conf there in it's going to be tough as well but I didn't pick them I know I'm about to shot the oh [ __ ] Pittsburgh nope they were they were considered they were like top for hold up hold up hold up hold up hold up you say you g to shot the word hold on yep it can't be Philly on G hold up G you might hold on bro I know you ain't about to say I know you ain't about to say Baltimore I'mma let you go that's my last pick man I ain't I'm I'm going let you go I wish Keith was here because this one would really touch his heart a little bit oh you s to say Detroit oh nope no no no okay okay I'mma let you go is it super it's super bowl pick the Texans oh Houston okay that sophomore slump gonna come I don't think it's a South Moore slump I'll just say this Houston finished nine and eight last year right to get into the playoffs right right which was only a game ahead of Jacksonville in Indianapolis and what happened last year with both those team they roster suck near the end of the season they didn't have anything so pretty much Houston yeah Houston was competing for with themselves really so for them to go nine and eight last year and really have the I think what you can call a easier schedule last year because of them being the bottom record team if you look at this year they first got the 26 strength of schedule and on top of that between weeks seven and 17 they got to play against six playoff teams from last year couple that with the fact that the Jets and Cincinnati didn't make the playoffs last year you know they're gonna be much better this year and probably in the playoff hunt and you're talking about teams like the Chiefs Ravens Steelers Browns dolphins and bills still with a pretty good decent chance to make playoffs so you talking about nine teams somebody's going to get left out right and like I said Houston has a schedule of Green Bay well at Green Bay at the Jets at Dallas and at Kansas City Plus games with Buffalo Detroit and Baltimore so that's not a schedule that I want to say is going to lend them to make 10 and six or you know one of those top you know top playoff record so if they get back to nine and eight this year like I'm I think that's pretty much what nine and eight maybe 10 and seven somewhere like that but that might not lend them to making the playoffs so I would be very weary because what's gonna happen is I think their first five games are like winnable games so they might start off pretty hot looking like four and one maybe you know maybe three and two maybe because of the slip up here and there um but then when they hit the back half of that schedule and yeah you you know you you start wearing down and stuff like that and like I said me up and you got and you got a second-year quarterback that people are going to be pretty much studying all the tape and seeing what his flaws are you you know it it's it's sketchy I know we we on the bandwagon because of what they did but it's sketchy at B man that offense look stupid how be blow if they don't make the playoffs G damn I a you [ __ ] me up with that one I didn't expect you to say them I didn't expect you to say them [ __ ] you had so many teams you could have said g and I promise you I did not expect your team was your team was trust me I I had them in my radar but then I looked at I said let me think about it I mean come on what the Bucks this year I mean they cuz what the did y'all don't win okay let me see this if y'all don't win the division how y'all making the playoffs they not going they not better than us though so we going to win a division but okay there we go we then we win it the last three four years leag since the year after left right yes we did with Mayfield we just won won last year we've won it every single year since since the since the year since the year after we won a Super Bowl with the first year Brady was there we didn't win it but every year after that we won it yeah get out my face every year that was sad to win in one year what was you eight and N seven and 10 I don't give a damn we won that [ __ ] had to beat beat the Panthers out in the last game because the Panthers were like six and 10 going into the game and yeah hey I love this Division I love it I know you do I love it I love it I love it Hey listen though listen though before we jump into some basketball man what you um actually I got two quick questions of them is um uh I want to know who you who what rookies impressed you the most but before you answer that please tell me this [ __ ] you got to break this [ __ ] down for me how the [ __ ] can college players then play college football for six seven eight years nine years G without ever going to the draft bro they just sitting there coming back every year bro every year they just coming back to play bro what the [ __ ] is wrong with these people you got to you got to explain that [ __ ] to me bro what the [ __ ] is the point the only thing I can think of before you answer the only thing I can think of is that these players ain't good enough to go to the NFL and they know it so they just keep coming back to the school to play because that's the only place they can play eventually you run out of eligibility in way the only thing is how long was [ __ ] El I mean okay you go okay this [ __ ] me so a lot of it happened during the co year I know that happened because a lot lot of players gained a year of Eligibility due to covid um for whatever reason I can't remember why but um I remember that they kind of yeah so they were kind of giving players an extra year from that um I know before the transfer rule a lot of people were gaining a year eligibility for that some people were gaining years of eligibility for like none football related injuries and things like that or and illness to the family and things of that nature so they were able to gain another year of Eligibility if I'm not mistaken you can gain years from graduate school or something like that I mean college football has a lot of different rules that allow for eligibility and things like that but now come on you not really seeing your top players St I'm saying Questioning Eligibility Rules in College Football that's why I thought that they just couldn't make it g they just staying that [ __ ] playing it ain't because you can just keep playing it's just different rules that you can keep going back for um but I mean once a person realizes that they can make the draft they're going for the draft it's not like you're just gonna be like okay I'm gonna be a a sixe senior let me see if I can keep on padding my stats and somebody the only person I can think of recent that's done that is actually your quarterback um the one they drafted from Florida I can't even think of his name k TR yeah so I know KY TR I think he went I think he went five years like for eligibility what not and damn like he probably wouldn't have gotten drafted until he had that run that he made at Florida uh em emry Jones is somebody else I can think of because he was a Florida player as well um you know I F I follow the gator so that's why I know some of yeah we know um but yeah I mean like I said you you're not really going to find your your top NFL players really staying in school that long but you might find a person here and there that's like on the on the cusp and they probably need something to kind of push them over the top so you may see them return and kind of try to have this Impressive NFL Preseason Rookies solidified year that that that'll get them at least a free Asian or um undrafted or something look at the NFL because you know I mean what else what else you gonna do when you send in college and and you can't make it to the NFL and you know that's that what I was trying to figure out G [ __ ] I'm like bro I seen the the [ __ ] BR keep just there he's just there like bro this thing making no sense to me that why I say bro I gotta ask you about it I gotta ask you about that [ __ ] but um all the rookies man that's been playing this preseason um who's impressed you the most and and I know for me B Nicks because stole D you little mother skunker you but no because like bro I'm looking at this man they done left lost Jerry Judy so uh then it's like bro everything I'm I'm just looking at them as Russ got Russ and Judy got now I know it's other little intricate pieces but I'm just looking at it as the main names Russ and Judy gone here come both Knicks and he's doing what you couldn't do and I know it's just a preseason so I ain't really like but regardless he still looked goddamn good he looked like he was in command of that [ __ ] he was running that [ __ ] like the [ __ ] looked good and and in my mind I know Shawn pton over there just like godamn it finally I got finally I knew he wasn't going to start no goddamn stum I knew stey wasn't going to get it bro I knew stey wasn't going to go in that [ __ ] I mean who the [ __ ] gave nickname stey what you say who G who gonna start stey or Zack Wilson G I'm so glad you brought up Zack Wilson because as you can see I ain't even say nothing about him I forgot listen I saw an article bro they was real deal hyping Z was he's on fire out there he's he he's slanging he's looking different man if y'all shut your ass up Bo I mean man this man he you know what he may look a lot different now he's out of that New York Press so I will say I hope he can go land him somewhere and at least maybe prove that he's not as bad as um Nathan Peterman because that has to be the worst quarterback I have ever seen in my life played GE oh my mother boy G oh my [ __ ] God boy that's in the fact that in the fact that these [ __ ] got the audacity to keep this [ __ ] in the league bro and you can't and Kaepernick can't get no job exactly oh hell no I'm so glad bro oh my God CZ he do he look so horri Greg I've never seen a quarterback look worse than him ever in my life let me see something real hold up hold up hold up hold up hold up hold up hold up hold the [ __ ] G G oh my God now listen first of all I don't even give a [ __ ] that we that I'm I'm G to take y time I don't even care at this point hold on G hold up hold up Goa I Goa for the one time cuz this is just this just this [ __ ] ridiculous G this man is straight I ain't never ever in my life so [ __ ] sorry sorry ass bastard boy I mean this dude straight garbage fair use that's Charles Clay oh I forgot about Kevin Benjamin G I forgot all about Benjamin yeah now they know they some [ __ ] they trying to show the damn good plays before they show the goddamn sry [ __ ] hey hey y'all that ain't it that ain't it he threw five of he threw five down I mean they seem like they were back to back to back to back they just coming the fact that he got another [ __ ] team to get him is ridiculous look at this [ __ ] oh my God oh my God oh my God I think he worse than Curtis Paya was yeah pton man went down that neck injury man yeah no yeah him in the worst quarterback in the league ever in the ever in the history of NFL oh my God and he just throw him up there for like here get this oh my God oh my God and see the bills ought to be a damn shame of they that they kept that man in the game [ __ ] nothing do they had to prove a point who that quarter then um that's what I'm figure tyr Taylor oh it was Tyrod yeah mm all right y'all get our point they was garbage he was garbage the worst quarterback we just couldn't bring him up without showing some highlights but but yeah yeah man B Nicks man look he looking good man he looking good he looking good out there yeah I agree I mean that was my that was my pick as well like I said I mean when you when you got a pick between Zack Wilson and stum it's like okay no thank you and and and Bo Knicks is a proven quarterback I mean he started off at Auburn and he was he he looked kind of bad being in the SEC where he was kind of hyped up to be you know pretty good but when you went out to Oregon and kind of rejuvenated his career and you saw him start really being a quarterback you know you could you could tell that he was a different person than he was before he started as in college and so I just kind of figured it would carry over to you know like him showing that maturity and really being able to um to definitely beat out those two I mean I I I don't know how good he's gonna be cuz like said that was a preseason game against backup but he just looked apart it's like you could tell the offense was just more was fluid up under him as opposed to you know just whatever pyton was trying to do last year just you know you just didn't know almost was like godamn maybe Shawn Payton was just a uh a product of damn Drew Brees I ain't gonna lie to you G I was like damn maybe he just the name but maybe we gonna see we gonna see for sure so um I want to talk about we going to talk about some basketball we got a couple basketball topics and I'm going to start off with before we get into the one with Anthony Edwards and Magic Johnson and [ __ ] I just want to I just want to gloss over something that I saw and it was and it was Damien lilip man talking about how he feel like he don't get enough credit so and I'm I'm I'm I'm read I'mma read his statement he say they definitely don't talk about it my shooting they act like I've I've not been doing it excuse me they act like I've not been doing what I've been doing for 13 years when I think about the time when I think about my time in the league there haven't been many people who doing what I've done over and over but I think people just get bored with consistency ain't loud but damn I've been doing it that long and winning it ain't like that it ain't like I've been doing it and I'm just playing for a team that never makes the playoff oh my first point though is that the man is delusion as hell if he think he don't get no type of appreciation cuz I looked I looked up some [ __ ] okay okay the this [ __ ] he made the top 75 anniversary team does that does Damian L got a championship okay so these are the people he made it over Dwight Howard Klay Thompson playay [ __ ] Thompson Kyrie Irving Kyrie [ __ ] Irving Pala Man O janob Tony Parker okay this just the name of Trac mcgr I could have kept going but I just named a few but but you get my point you feel what I'm saying so yeah this man suffer first round sweeps in 17 18 and 20 missed the playoffs in 2023 he still got all NBA and Allstar selections okay then when he got the his franchise him he he made he had them do it they got they got Lamarcus Al out of there so that they can get AR Reign to him the keys to the city to him then then they kept his coach they kept his coach there ter STS they kept his ass there they kept him there for him check this out G this something I didn't even [ __ ] no check me out check me out check this [ __ ] out so when he go over there to when he over there to Milwaukee and he plays with Yannis Damian Lillard's Claim of Lack of Credit remember when the reports came out about Adrien Griffin getting fired and all of that [ __ ] and this and that but but but the blame with the Yiannis that that's who I that's who I saw it the blame went to the blame with the Yannis well you know Yannis doing this he he didn't agree with this blah blah blah blah blah all the while it was Damian L who who was having who was having problems with him like that but his name never came up that's my point his name never came I didn't see it so I never see it yeah I heard coule like about that so I'mma leave it with this though G because this is this is the biggest thing that I I feel like because as great as L is being there's a reason he's not mentioning the same breath as Curry because check this out Steph Curry he shot 40% no excuse me Damen L has only shot 40% from three one time in his career Curry's worst shooting season is 38% which is better than Lillard's career average of 37% wow so what the exactly wow so it's like bro what what what what where are you not being appreciated bro where like what what more do you want [ __ ] to say can you get a ring first then maybe people can say what what it is maybe he's maybe it's something that people not saying that he's that that he want people to say and maybe they would if he got a championship ring I ain't picking I ain't picking I might pick Damen L over clay maybe but Klay got championships four that man was all all before that before that ACL one of the best twoway guards exactly that that man was a beast on defense so he wasn't just the offensive player like Lillard is oh pre pre pre um ACL give me clay Thompson and I'm damn sure taking Kyrie over Kyrie over uh Damian so I don't even understand how he got picked over him so yeah I'mma leave it at that well you made all the good points I mean I would only say I think lard is looking for validation more so from media and from um fans more so than it is um respect from because I mean it's clear he has the respect of his peers I mean they might chirp at him and go at him like Westbrook and Paul George and and numerous others have done but he's always been a battle tested guard that that he he can he shows he can come out and talk even in those matchups and I mean I think that people go at him like that because he's more mild manner he's not going to really you know make the noise and things like that so he like you say he's not gonna be controversial he's not GNA be um someone who brings a lot of attention I mean the worst things I've heard from him is just like the the Rumblings of trying to leave Portland and forcing the trade and things like that I mean that's that and I'm pretty sure you had some little small incidents here and there but I would say I think for him he's just looking for more love and more U maybe adoration that shown toward the other guards maybe like you said like Curry gets his well-deserved kudos from the media and everything I mean even someone like Westbrook is like someone who just draws attention but I mean Westbrook draws that attention because of his his passion to play and the way he plays and the way he's just outspoken and whatnot and so that's not Lillard and he just had to understand like sometimes as a basketball player you're not going to be you're not going to be perceived as good as you are until you're retired because you can look at the erors of different players um who playing with you know other star players and they just don't get that recognition I mean it's kind of like you just get lost in the sauce either you're Crim Del Crim or you just somewhere in between as a super as a star I mean because like I said I think the NBA is is is trying to create too many superstars whereas you know there are only two or three people are really going to be recognized as a superstar so I mean if you are quietly doing your thing and you are making your statistics and like I said to me he's gonna be a Hall of Famer I still like you said I'm questionable of the top 75 because I think there are just other players that could have been chosen over both he he and AD at this point but you know neither he nor de I mean you know he that still that should let him know that he's recognized as one of the great players of all time and not just now exactly because you've gotten the recognition that hey you're a top 75 player like Rashad mck said out of 5,000 players in league history you're recognized as a top 75 so that lets you know you are being you know recognized for your game but you just I think and like I said I don't know it and he he should expand on it even more he he just needs Say Hey I just think the fans aren't giving me the love that I believe or that he just feels like he should be top two and he and step being recognized as the top guards because I don't even consider them point guards anymore yeah me just guards I mean they just you know they just it's just a hybrid guard I mean you handle the ball you shoot that's that's what you do so I mean you're recognized still is one of those top guards so I don't know what more he can want um and I would just say for him I mean hey if you want the recognition win the championship because that's that's what that's what starts the conversation there you go conversation starts with the championship so despite whatever you want to do in life most people aren't going to recognize you until you either have the best stats ever or either you have the most rings so you got to start somewhere y I'm with you on that well we gonna end it with this last uh topic and this one man I really just want to hear what you got to say about it because I I kind of you know I looked at it and and I and I kind of seen you know magic kind of get his little Tak and I was like damn okay but I did think it was a little asinine that uh Anthony Edwards would say that the only skilled player back then was MJ the floor is yours [Laughter] I mean all I can say for Anthony was is either this is an example of just sticking sticking the mic in someone face and either they just want a hot take or just complete ignorance so maybe for him it's somewhere in between maybe he just like you know cuz he's he's a smug kind of person you you can tell he his takes are kind of like you know yeah you know blah and sometime I don't even really take them as serious as other people but I can see why it would rub feathers of players who played back then and so it's so many ways to go with this but I'll start with the easiest one the easiest one to me is an said that players weren't his skilled back then so he's really saying that his era is the most skilled basketball era of all time and his favorite player is Kevin Durant coming from his mouth so that means in his eyes if you can't handle the ball and really shoot the ball as well as KD then you have no skill so you know and I guess when he look at Jordan he's saying that Jordan defied the fact that that no one in that era could do those things that people can do today so I would challenge Anthony Edward first to say what is your definition of skills in today's game because if you are only referring to the fact that a lot of players can shoot a step back three or shoot the three and have crazy handles I would implore him to really see if they could do all that when the defense is playing at a top-notch level I mean he would honestly have to go back and be like okay let me see if defense are are are can everyone in the league still make these kind of shots and make these kind of moves if the defense was able to play with the hand checking and the arm Anthony Edwards' Disrespectful Statement bar rule that was used back in the 80s and 90s would they be able to um and I would employ them also I think for me a skill is knowing how to get to your spot on the floor and make a shot whereas the defense is pretty much draped all over over you y whereas like I say in today's rules it's a little more loose a little more letting you carry the ball a little more letting you perform walks letting you kind of have more one-on-one play whereas those players had to know okay if I try if I get here and I can't go all the way to the rim I need to learn how to shoot this pullup make a shot off the backboard all of those things are what I would call skills I would also implore to him that a person who has a drop step um a Up and Under move all of those are considered skills back in my you know back in the 80s and 90s I mean you couldn't just get your shot off what with you know one dribble and it's so funny because I've seen Anthony EV do an Up and Under and he traveled like six times doing so I mean like if you calling those skills you know I mean have at it but I would just you know to me it's more disrespectful too because players before him they would recognize the players that came before them and say hey they paved the way for me to make it to do to be able to do the things that I'm doing I mean I they might not have been as great as me as or I believe as great as me but they had a place in the league to make it where it is where it is going now or where it's going to go in the future so I mean all of those players said hey these people before me were people I I I studied I learned their game to make my game better than it is so I mean anthon can't tell me he hasn't if he's saying that he's he he didn't really look at games back then look at that era then he's really cheating himself because there are so many other players that he can learn different things from that can make his game even better than what it is and like I said yep if the NBA ever goes back to where they let them play defense I just wonder a lot of these players are are they going to be as good as their numbers are showing right now because it's harder to get your shot off when you have someone draped all over you and you got to decide okay how do I get to my spot on the court and that's like to me that is a skill so that's a good point that's a good point so I know what magic said magic was like you know what I'mma take some rings man there you go magic took the high road because he could have really laid into him and been like look if I didn't have skill why am I all NBA five time Champion MVP all of these things magic could have just said about himself to show you that he's as skilled a player as you will ever see because Magic first of all was fundamental with razzled dazzle with like those are skills that you just can't teach some players I mean magic was alltime great because of what he was able to do on the basketball court so he could have like he could have laid into Anthony been like this and that but he really took the high R just say look when you get a championship then we can talk about this and I agree because why would you disrespect all of those players I mean you you disrespecting the Larry Birds the Dr JS the Keem Elijah ones the the stoping I mean you just like you you just really saying that none of these players could hold a candle in this era of basketball which I I just Adam agree I feel like to be to be real not and not to cut you off I just feel like they could they could past era could I feel like because of the rules was much harder back then I don't know if this this this era could play in that in that era but I mean I'm pretty sure some of them probably could but you get what I'm trying to say I think it'll be a littleit more harder for them to adjust right but I think it'll be a littleit more harder for them yeah yeah and I I mean it's it's it's always like I said I mean it's easier to make yourself look skilled when you're scoring 30 points but you are putting up 10 12 threes a night and you get into the free throw line seven eight times and most of that coming because because you want on you going wide open down the lane and getting hit you know because somebody's trying to run all the way from the three-point line to come try to play defense on you it's it's like you're really saying that because y all are scoring is more so the skill whereas skill back then to them was the fact like you had to play defense you had to play offense to really be on the cour and you had to you had to develop some kind of skill to get a shot off because teams weren't letting you just get open shots it was like you you G have to find a way to get by a Defender you g to find a way to get around a Defender you G have to find a way to get go over a Defender I mean lot a lot of those dudes when they were dunking on somebody they were dunking on like three and four people up under the goal at one time it's not like oh he's one onone and you blow by him and then come you Center coming over to try to block and it's too late because you up in the air yeah I mean it it was just a Comparing Skills Across Eras different time I mean when you seen a lot of those dunk back in the day they had three and four people standing up on the rim waiting on them and so when they they either had to go to the next level to do it or what not but I I I'll close with this because I I heard this from um guy I was listening to on YouTube he was talking about like these days the like you said these today's NBA players players don't really know what it's like to really play back in the NBA back then because one of his favorite players was rof children who a lot of people might not know but he played with Tim Duncan at wake fars and all I can tell you is if Tim Duncan that he is today was the second fiddle to Rand off children that's how good he was the offense ran through him and when you talk about Steph Curry and those step back threes and how good of a shooter Steph Curry was I implore you to go look at some of Rand children's highlights from college and he has one of the most embarrassing threes that you will ever see on a player before so when he made it to the NBA though it was a whole different ball game because guess what they did to him that hand check and that bumping him and everything else that physicality that they put on you in the NBA it it it it derailed his career he couldn't he couldn't take those bumps and bruises and and still put up the kind of shots he was putting and like like said most people they would take your legs out like you were a jump shooter they were taking your legs out not literally like going up under you but they were putting so much wear and tear on you that by the time you were ready to shoot that jump shot you tired yeah you can't even get up they can't even pull up so I mean like I said I mean I I I'm like I'm like magic it's like sometimes you just don't even have to respond to comments because it just lowers your IQ trying to do so damn damn Come on Anthony you gotta win your Championship bro gota win your Championship bro that's what that's what that's what the great Magic Johnson said but maybe he s with M maybe he s with MJ because everybody trying to compare him to MJ a little bit but let's see how we'll see how all that P out looking forward to the NBA season but I'm show looking forward to the NFL season D show looking forward to the NFL season but we going to end it there man um I appreciate everybody tuning in make sure you like comment and subscribe until next time things ain't what they seem they tell me don't get caught up dreaming live inside reality bro go and Chase your
