about who you know always remember that absolutely and in America white skin is the right skin light skin is the right skin lightskin is Right skin and okay so we're gonna we're gonna go there speaking of light skin that light skinned assassin in the gold medal game against France either side whatever one side you want to pick just go to see all right um I'm gonna start I'm gonna start with you duke what were your thoughts kind of in that game and like where were you and how what was your reaction while USA vs France watching that game go on Steph going berserk at the end of the game what were your just overall thoughts on it that game I'm actually gota I gotta like have a prequel story so was it Serbia Serb I'm at work just stuff's slow I'm I'm on my phone I'm peing it right I'm seeing us lose the whole game bro the whole game I see us Los we finally come back and it's like you know that last five minutes in the fourth like my man's been going crazy and it's uh it's just like oh I'm watching it in action I'm calling it all I'm like yo there's no way I'm I'm sweating I'm jumping up and down like I was on the team I'm on the bench this is the first time I felt nervous in a long time so that last four minutes was amazing and then I watched U it was so funny because when uh they showed the of melow like ISO ISO for KD for that shot to go up Flor I was in I was saying move out the way move out the way soon as he touched the ball like through the phone so it was funny so we hit that it was like go we peace then um during the championship game I was actually at work again and I end up catching the first couple minutes I end up getting busy with a customer and then I call like the third so I didn't even get to see the fourth until um um a little like right before the game ended so what I did catch was the shot that everybody keeps talking about yeah the last it's so funny to look like pass pass pass and KD and Lebron wide open and the only player to ever live that gets away with that shot the only player he didn't even like it wasn't like he was worried about the shot clock he wasn't worried about nothing my man was just in there like he he could have easily it was like 6 seconds left on the shot he easily could have just passed it to KD KD would have taken one step pull up or would have passed the either whoever you got it into was going in but it's just so much funnier Curry was like pop slightly fade and then go and then all you see his KD's head go back like oh man I've seen that like why did I leave this we could already ran four back why did I leave this guy and LeBron's like I need to play with that guy but that's crazy and the trash part is it was such a good like moment that nobody want to talk about it the fact that he's celebrating like this running down the court and they're bringing the ball up down the court and could have splashed the three at the top of the key CU he played no defense like nobody's talking about that at all that was the worst transition defense ever is funny man but yeah you know what I'm saying lightskin assassins since Davidson you he we used to talk about it we used to talk about it at dehw work I triy to tell him I told him back then we was watching the NCAA tournament never forget it told him back then he's the best shooter ever Curry was in the league by the time I got to LSC actually talk about Ray Allen y want to talk about Reggie Millers I said no I play basketball I see it in my eyes there's nothing this man can't do when it comes to shooting that hoop NBA career got slicey at first yeah salt and pepper that [ __ ] really is light Bri might have had it on his Beard's got on the beard right now Curry's close Curry Curry's Curry's gonna get last few years with those kids he's he's got four of them now he's gonna get that hey y best point guard all time now can we say it I for me I'm waiting till career is over um I got a different what listen called Michael the goat when he was still playing I I was I wasn't born I was five years REM we know that but in the nut set he was like go I was five years removed from life so I can't even say I said something Curry Curry's only a point guard by height really I mean he's a two guard I mean he didn't even play the one on this team you know LeBron was which was dope this was such a fun experience rooting for LeBron that be LeBron best point guard of all time really then conversation like this is this is the most pure point guard we really got to see Braun play like he he picked his spots when he was going to score when he was going to attack the rim um but by and large he really sat back and was quarterbacking this team um yep I just want to say man like just being able to not have to root against LeBron not have to root against Steph not having to root against any of these guys and just be fans of all of them at once that's a feeling I haven't got since 2012 um 16 was but that's the beauty of Olympics right it that's the whole Beauty your favorite team even when they're your enemy or rival is all together and they're balling together shout out Joel obid you know what I'm saying they don't want to respect you my boy it was booing you all the way till you came through in that fourth quarter my man said came down with the shimy absolutely no that's that's a great thing about the the Olympics is you get to Lakers fans and Cavs fans Heat fan all of them can be like okay I really like this Curry guy and then obviously Warriors fans can be like oh man this Brun guy is actually really cool like it's really cool go on because I've got everybody talking except them Celtics fans still they still see Celtics fans are upset with Steve Kerr and Kevin wild said it on first things first he's like whenever whenever the Warriors and Celtics play take the Tatum over on points already the points already I thought that was funny I mean on the Tatum thing I don't want to pay too much attention to it but I mean you know he got minutes in that final thankfully but you know we talked about it before it's kind of overblown I think I thought Steve Kerr really did a good job with this team honestly I mean I agree look we got all the way to the S we got all the way to the semis before we got tested and that's really how it should be your toughest game should be the semi finals and the finals and you know we but realistically that team wasn't supposed to get tested realistically no if they played that defense from the first half then they don't get tested by them realistically no get wrong they was hitting amazing shots like y y'all caught the hot streak at the right time for saber like I'm I'm not even gonna hold yall because if you want to keep it a Band Joker ain't hit no threes the whole game and he gonna knock down too normally yeah well you know that's the thing Abramovic bogdanovic going crazy for themov doing this with Melo on the side was one of the best nastiest works I ever seen if we're talking about the Serbia G that's the only reason why they lost he never does this Melo don't talk to braon Melo don't talk to KD and tell him to get ISO and they win he don't do that celebration and and look at Melo is nasty work but I respect it as a Hooper a we competitors right now and I play in the NBA n like nah I see you like word bet hey y Bron come talk to me real quick if we're talking about the Serbia game specifically though yeah playing out of their mind they were shooting out of their minds like that's one thing and then they hit us with the zone and that got us out of our Rhythm that's one thing 100% uh France I really don't know how that game was close honestly wambi played the best game of the tournament for himself turnover sure but it really only him and yabui who was scoring they really didn't get much and you want to know what what I know is a fact Evan forer hold up hold up yo n their age their age became a factor because those first couple rounds you had those days to rest y'all just only had that one day to rest now and then get right back to it and you could look fatigue like it look a little different and y'all really had to dig deep to some degree and it just became the fact that like it's more of a physical game like y'all y'all learned y'all learned the second time around like oh yeah we gotta take care of our bodies tonight A lot of people did a lot of ice baths that night a lot of people was you know what I'm saying getting massages in the morning trying to recover for the next game for the championship for the goal and it looked different it looked different um like you said though JT did play I think that was still a cop out but I also think something's going on where I'm smart enough to know as the coaching staff that you know you did play all these extra games playoffs in the championship and not to say it's unnecessary that we don't need you but my [ __ ] you've been old for 14 13 in jump shots like that's it's not just like yo he was balling when he had his minutes he wasn't really doing nothing crazy I think he would have been great in the uh uh game against uh Joker because his length and stuff defensively live I think I would have put him on banovic when he was starting to get hot but realistically that's not your role you're not really known as a Defender when I got Drew holiday here and I got Dereck white who want to do the Dirty Work no matter what goes on he want to do the Dirty Work and his hisory was splashy all all tournament yeah so I could see it but I can't see JT not getting no minutes every game but you hit it on the definitely tell you I'm using you in this championship game my boy you hit it on the head with Tatum that was really it he wasn't hitting any jump shots wasn't hitting any threes um so it's hard to get in a rhythm and that would have been his role he would have been in the Carmelo role had he been on his [ __ ] right and uh that's really all it is and you saw how well Deon Booker was playing he shot something like 50% from three and 60% overall four assist it's hard to stop somebody from playing who scored 70 points bro exactly we know you scored 70 points I never see Jason Tatum score like 39 at this point scored 51 in the game uh on the on the Tatum part of it though you know at the end of the day it's it's someone who made first team all NBA three times in a row and it was just glaring that he wasn't out only one on the team the obvious yeah exactly the just won the championship so it's more glaring and there is times like you're like damn this is embarrassing for him he must be [ __ ] embarrassed that he's sitting on the bench Devin Booker's getting this run LeBron KD all these guys getting this run um I remember we were talking about it Keenan after the finals I think when you were up in person we were talking about it and I was saying even then like with kawhai being on the team like yeah Tatum's probably gonna get his run but I don't know if he was gonna get as many minutes as we thought like I thought he was going to be a bench player I never imagined he would get zero minutes you know in a couple games yeah but you know that's just the way the cookie crumbled right and uh you know I think and that's positions too positions matter positions matter position matter and the fact that it's these guys last run like yo you could come back in four years exactly it's these last times we're going to see these three together period whole era running players like 100% I can see why the coaching staff is like and first of all you're not just battling Steve Kerr spoler over there I got LeBron BR like I don't care like no matter what you say Steve LeBron you could take your Curry and Durant because you had them then I'm Gonna Keep LeBron out there that's already three positions that's taken away you're not tall enough strong enough or fast enough to guard anybody else you got to play back seat we got Joel embiid and AD it's not like we gonna go put Tatum or Lebron at Center which would have been smart a couple times but we ain't do it no that's exactly it there was just no place really to put Tatum he was a odd man out and uh you know I mean you know back to cry I'm putting him at power forward we want I'm going Steph um AE shout out my boy because he really went crazy rhyme so you know it's real I'm going probably K LeBron I'm going no I'll go Tatum I'll go braon and I'll go KD because KD he only seven-footer that would be my lineup that would be the death lineup let's run it out real quick let's start the game like that all wings all Wing because we could switch everything except Steph we switching everything except Steph and then we going nuts to the point of Steph because I didn't really I really get really get to get my [ __ ] off about him uh that last two or three minutes four straight threes in a row where like first of all he like it's like he woke up specifically just for the semi-finals and finals cuz he really didn't do [ __ ] before that he was Anthony Edwards literally said he showed up three days ago but boy gu we needed him and like when him and Steph were doing it all live live yeah it was that was actually really funny and uh yeah man I mean he had a rough tournament like it was it would seem like he was picking his spots like that's what stuck out to me the most like that last play the famous three that he got he gives the ball up to KD cuts and then comes back and gets it earlier in the tournament he wasn't coming back to get the ball the way he was in games in the semi-final game and then the final game um he was really just kind of running away from the ball or standing in the corner not necessarily because he didn't want the ball but he really did seem out of rhythm and uh the way he was looking for it in the semi-final in the gold medal match just how locked in he was and you know literally our last five possessions was Curry three well to keep it a band it's not like he made the playoffs or even did anything in the play so like he really probably took time off ball for a while for the first time in a long time so he just you know what I mean by the time we did all these practices you know how it is you go a week you start working out again you two weeks boom boom boom now you playing in real game real game situation oh yeah I got hot oh let me check him then he just he's just doing whatever after that it's like damn we got 20 points and I got 16 where y all at and that was the case that was definit the case in the semi-final he was wild the crazy part is he became the leading scorer on the whole team that's wild that's wild yeah nasty work LeBron almost sweep the whole [ __ ] and that [ __ ] said nah all uh Kyle do you have more stuff Steph Curry’s Top 10 Games/Moments you want to talk about Steph here because I got one thing I want to get into go ahead go ahead was so obviously I know people are talking about like obviously where does he rank all time Point car blah blah blah whatever one thing that we can talk about is where this where these moments rank within Steph's moments because all of those are finalized for me at least I don't know so to me honest with you I was going through because I was thinking to myself I was like where do these moments within the list of his career where do they rank I have a top 10 list for Steph's moments and games slms for for me I'm going to run through them really quickly I'm going to go from 10 to one so so 10 I've got his 54 at the Garden that was his coming out party at 546 and seven uh 11 to 13 from three they lost the game but but that third but that 54 was like who is this guy you got St from the allstar had 22 against the nuggets in the third quarter in the playoffs that really started step at nine I've got his game six versus the rockets in 2019 that was his zero points in the first quarter his 33 in the second half 23 of which came in the fourth quarter KD went down in game five with the Achilles that was the Achilles one that does say KD went down five with the Achilles strain which then or the calf strain which end up coming to the Toran Achilles see that be top three it was that's in your top three absolutely you didn't you didn't watch stepher okay no it's fine my boy watch you watch Step you ain't watched Chef my boy I've watched listen I've watch every one of like pretty much every one of step's big games I've actually seen live which is a really cool thing for me including his regulars that's for sure my top three because that's the that's a definitive that's much like that's almost a microcosm of what happened in these Olympics right here to go zero to have nothing in the first half um for Durant to go down all of us expect them to win that game and Curry just comes in and closes It Goes Bananas in the second half um that's one of his definitive performances to me obviously you got to at nine but to me that's top three that's top three but keep going 2K moments you gotta you got a replay and like I would I think a couple of the games I have above are games that people sleep on from him but I'm going to keep going here eight if you want to switched this cuz it's a playoffs I'm fine with it but his 46 versus the thunder 12 of 16 from three and then the shot from 38 for the win I have that that's also going to be top five when he did the shimmy that that that was when he was doing the dance and everything that's yeah that's top three that's easy number two guys okay you guys are forgetting his that's Curry's most iconic moment that's like the one that's I said g I said games and moment got you but just that moment alone elevates it to I'm going on you guys can disagree it's fine at at seven I have his 40 points 17 points in overtime his I'm back game when he was only supposed to play 24 to 28 minutes Sean Livingston gets injured this is game four against the Blazers in 2016 7 most points ever in an overtime by anybody M and he comes back that's the game where he solidifies him like I'm back goes crazy in overtime that one is seven for me that's great at six that's a great one what I said that's a great one like that's that's a deserved ranking like I would have it probably somewhere in the seven six seven range but keep going keep going at six I have 2016 game seven versus the Thunder you had 36 in that game went seven to 13 from the this is coming back from 3-1 down this is him coming off of a 31 and nine but coming off a game six clay and game sevens matter he puts up he completes the 3-1 comeback with 36 if you remember this is when KD and Westbrook were asked about Steph Curry defensively and both of them are laughing and he's dancing all over Westbrook he's dancing on KD it doesn't matter who's guarding him in that game he goes nuts and then the the building hysteria when he hits his last three with like 40 seconds left when they pretty much solidified the game that was a that is six I feel like that's an underrated game that's when the night night should have first happened that's an for real for real that's an underrated game I can't have it ahead of the the overtime performance against Portland I can't have it ahead of the uh the Houston Rockets game six I can it's game seven I feel you but that was a good was seven nerves get to you it's only one and done I hear you I hear you in the the semifinals when he won and done my man show up it was a really good performance don't get me but thaton that Houston one was a that Houston one I love that Houston one and I had originally I had it up higher but then I was going through all these games and I was like kept writing them down and writing them down and I was like wow he has so many great games that it's hard like to De it's like hard to debate like game this next one I'm pretty sure you're probably gonna have lower I actually think this is a big moment this is one of my favorite Steph games and one I think one of his best at five it was 2015 game five of the NBA Finals it's 22 obviously LeBron's gone crazy in the series they won game four he has 37 17 of which are in the fourth quarter this is he has he's not a champion yet he's not proven anything he's gotten MVP but people have gotten MVPs haven't won a championship and this man takes over an entire fourth quarter dancing all over Delhi because Deli was the curry stopper after a few games but game three started getting going and think that's one of I think that might be his most underrated game that he's ever played because I don't feel that people talk about it enough and that's 37 and a pivotal game five against LeBron who is at the peak of his powers at that time and you haven't even no that was at home that was at home but you haven't and you haven't won a championship yet yeah that was F that's five for me four is his Serbia game I think the Olympics matter I think especially with how today's how today is and how the Le world is catching up you're playing against the best player in the world and Nico yic you have 36 points eight rebounds you go nine of 14 only reason why you guys aren't down 20 early on is because you're going insane matching bogdanovich and Abramovic and then obviously late in the game it's you and LeBron going crazy so that's four three can't call Joel and can't kick can't say no K Diego crazy no no no I was saying I was saying early on LeBron Steph KD Devin Booker the entire started yeah sorry sorry at the end be ended with 19 and emid ended with 19 KD had seven points in the fourth quarter Steph Curry obviously we saw what he did LeBron James ended with a triple double and Devon Booker played great D and actually hit a big shot that was on that Sixpoint play which was a big swing so all everyone in the starting five did that's the biggest moment of 's not MVP we talking about MVP that's the big that's the biggest moment for you sorry I said that that's the biggest moment of embiid's career that Serbia game oh embiid sorry I thought you said that's I thought you say for me not embiid and I was like I was like okay no but I no you're right absolutely embiid's never played in a more pivotal game in his life other than maybe game seven of he did great in play the KA got stolen from from three bounces those are the two biggest games he's played in and embiid played great down the stretch so shout out to embiid other than the rebounds that he decided to let up but like other than that I mean you know he can't move that much with those knees Fair all right he should be in knes at this noes Joel no Noel in knes but uh Joel n anyways game three or the game three um Steph Curry's thirdd best game SL moment of all times his 50o game seven and in Sacramento most points in a game seven at the time Jason T Brer later I'll give you that so Jason T broker clay and Wiggins went a combined three of 15 from three in that game it was really it was Steph Kavon Looney rebounding and people making timely shots if they could it was really AO he had 16 in the fourth and 31 in the second half he took the reason why game wasn't close was because Steph made it not close so that's three I think two is this France performance this is a gold medal game you're playing you get feel how you feel this is two is his France gold medal obviously it's a threo game when he hits his first three if they lose this game ramifications are massive honesty I think the moment ain't the game that's what it is I think it's the moment in it's the moment in the game together that's why I put them together because like you remember the moment if you're just ring off of like overall front to back 40 to 48 minute game it's not there because he was but like the moment when you rise to that kind of occasion and it's you're dancing on everybody people are deferring to you you are putting your entire country not even just your team your entire country is on your back and you are showing out to me that is number two so his son semi-final and Final are two of his top five moments for me and then number one and I don't think this is this game four against Boston 43 points 10 rebounds in Boston down 21 that's to me that's his best game he's ever played best to me best moment and that's St uh it's most important not best it's a cool list but I like the list I'm not I'm not mad at don't hand list I would switch a little couple things around oh yeah AB I mean people are and that's and it's objective I'm not mad if anyone switches anything to me I'm just saying to me number one is that one and then yeah I agree with your list and those are probably like the 10 most important I'm not arguing that those are probably the 10 most important moments I would put that Denver whatever he had in the second half one where he went crazy uh that would be up there for me too because that wouldn't I would so it's so that was in my honorable mentions his 22o third quarter because that was really the playoff moment that got him going that and then the 44 points against the Spurs his 62 Point against the Blazers a regular season game but he was the mo his first time ever breaking 60 uh he had a 371 and 13 in game four against the Blazers that's literally never talked about and that was in when they swept the Blazers and then he had 33 points against the Cavs but he made the most threes ever in a Finals game those are my four on overall Menches yeah now I would now my thing with this is I would try to find a spot for Steph moment or is it his professional because realistically his davidon [ __ ] got to get in there sorry it's been since he professional I could have if you're adding Davidson you could have added his sweet 16 performance versus Georgetown and this is what I'm trying to Sweet 16 versus Georgetown you could probably you could add that in probably it'd be top 10 I'd have to figure out where I'd want to put it I'd have to rearrange I may have to rearrange some things but go on K yeah no all I was goingon to say is I would try to find a place for that for that Denver moment as well as that Spurs game one Cu uh I me those were just phenomenal performances um yeah my only thing I would elevate my really my only qual if you'd say that would be uh the 36 at the nin spot um you you love that Boston game a little more than I guess I do or you rank that higher more than I do I think that's a great game I don't personally think that's his best performance um nor do I think it's most iconic um and actually you know I said how that regular season 3 against the Thunder how that's his most iconic moment I think this this past weekend like the gold medal game that might that's probably going to become his most iconic moment so those are probably absolutely when you see Steph highlights that's the first one you're going to see now so those are going to be one and two for him as far as most iconic moments um but yeah I mean I think you got the right 10 you know whatever order they'd be I'd probably have it a little different but I think you got the right 10 for sure there's also one more game I want to mention this happened simultaneously with shout out to Kobe Kobe 60 he did put up 45 in three quarters against the Grizzlies to eclipse the 73 wins I do think that game also another one that kind of gets lost because obviously you focus more on the 73 wins and obviously you focus more on Kobe putting up 60 in his final game so like and fair it's not even like a one bad thing but like it's just one of those games it's like he had 45 in that game in three quarters and went insane like it could have been a 60 point he could have really went for 80 again literally could have been like at Le and he was he was on fire that entire game so I just want that was another one that I was like I kind of want to add that if I could and then obviously there's other games where he put up 50s and obviously like that but that those those don't fully matter because of the moments that they're in comparatively to these ones so yeah that those are my 10 I I've had fun making this list because I was like I'm Reminiscing on all the times because you're right Kyle that overtime performance even though it was in a loss that was one of those ones where you were like oh my goodness gracious like even the time he broke the three-point record before no his if you're going off just if you're going off just a moment the three-point record's got to be there that's got to be up in the top 10 for sure so like if you're going off just those moments that has to be there too but like obviously games overall he didn't really have a phenomenal game against theck impacted yeah I'm with you with the impact the impact this one's definitely up like I said I'm not mad at I'm not mad at it all but I like that you took in that Olympic [ __ ] that I was trying to tell y'all during that ESP and 100 athlete [ __ ] and why it does matter because now guess what he got a gold mle that [ __ ] move up on that list now know it's the Olympics do matter I mean they're every four years they're against every single team and now it's not like not like it's the dream the The Dream Team vs The Avengers 2024 first like to be unanimous multiple score title uh Finals MVP and um got Olympic gold like he's now he's he's in his own bracket at the same time where KD's in his own bracket and at the same time LeBron is the only multiple triple double [ __ ] in his own they all solidified their own little Legacy and iconic moments throughout this hope and that's why this is going to be one of the most memorable basketball like stretches I've ever had and it's because of the fact that you've got three the three best players of a generation like this is what probably people felt when they were watching the Dream Team to an extent like obviously I wasn't so like I mean obviously I wasn't alive for it so I don't really like know like the in moment feeling but you're like wait magic you bird Jordan Barkley like you're like all these players and then you're like wait that's KD that's Steph that's LeBron the closest thing was bird Jord like magic Jordan and it's like even if they're old and these [ __ ] was old yeah too like don't get it twisted they old too even when they're old you like what on the same team and then you get a little now you got a Barkley who would be who would be Barkley I guess on this team because he went crazy uh Barkley would probably be it'd have to be probably KD probably well yeah if you're going like if you're comparison it probably be KD because like bird I'm saying like that too Barkley showed his ass on this [ __ ] because AE was really the leading scorer until the last game hey so hold on let Anthony Edwards win an MVP this year and we'll say it's Anthony Edwards because Barkley won an MVP coming off coming off that let him win an MVP this year and I can call Anthony Edwards and Barkley on that team even though like Barkley was arguably the best player throughout that entire olymp it's not arguably they already said it yeah I was G to say which was crazy so like when you have hard nobody's looking for you to be the best player you have the other three best players we worried about like you just happen to be good get rebounds and do dunks and hit a couple shots yeah no he was everybody looking at us parkley was killing so but that was who was the center on that team David Robinson uh you had Robinson you had pat pat Ying was on that team yeah that's embiid all day yeah um or Pat Yan is from Jamaica anyway so yeah that's embid that's cambon or whatever the [ __ ] camon Cambo whatever no disrespect I'm trying I just don't know the yeah know Absolut I mean so but I'm just saying that's you know that's what we see it as it's not like we don't see it we saw it we just saw our version of it and just because the world got better Jason Tatum was Christian Lightner too don't disrespect I'm kidding Christian L was straight out of Kye yeah at least Carl Malone like you dirty it's funny you do the it's funny you do the comparisons team crazy because prior that was halberton to the semi finals yeah Halbert was like the lener prior to the semi-finals I was thinking I'm like damn LeBron like his roles kind of reminded me of Kobe and ' 08 right and then Durant I'm like kind of reminds me of Melo just being like the heater off the bench kind of thing at that time he was coming off the bench and again this before the semi-final I'm thinking I'm like Curry reminds me of 92 bird he looked kind of washed out there like obviously Curry ain't washed but he looked washed like just [ __ ] missing all these threes I'm like might as well be 92 bird out there like we're going to win regardless but you know it was nice that he he showed up for those last two games in full effect in full game three days ago weell effect truly um yeah a AE was definitely Barkley on this team maybe Clyde Drexler but he ain't won no MVP Barkley won MVP he's definitely Barkley Ed Edwards went quiet in that Serbia game though that's only and then Joelle is definitely David Robinson because like he definitely he did yo it was Jason Tatum might be no and Kyle I know they've been having this conversation you think the Dream Team beats his team yes no questions asked sound dumb you don't really care about the question that's I'm saying think about what ages that people are at I would say I feel y Prime versus Prime you might have an argument what age is they at Jordan just became like super icon Jordan like everybody he still had a little hair he wasn't fully bald yet Barkley was out here dogging they came out with Larry Legend Larry Legend still the best shooter at the time it's him vers Step at that time and who guard the step John Stockton that [ __ ] ain't getting [ __ ] off like that listen our Center position our Center position with CER David Robinson is bodying Joel David Robinson andow ass I got Patrick Yan healthy with the good knes bugging the [ __ ] out dude you never then I got Chris mulling just out here shooting in the corner like Devin Booker Devin Booker or Christian Mo [ __ ] come on now theying out then I got Christian ler ready to close line a [ __ ] whenever I want to tell him to go close on you buing he played the Rick car Malone still in here somewhere he the bill be he might be touching kids you know pet pedophile but whatever yo is this I feel like this is more I feel like this is w w k [ __ ] him up I feel like this is the DBP that's what he was talking about he wasn't talking about K he was talking about I feel like this is the DBP and not the W BP I feel like this is the D bir podcast right here because I can't even get my something be weird when Utah [ __ ] cuz you hot T you talk we got Brandon with the uh with the timeout right here hit there you go there we go that's we'll get him back we'll come back in a moment Kyle if you want to just get your pointy I think what I was going to say about 10 minutes ago was all I was going to say was who who was our third Center was Ying Robinson was there a third Center in there or was that the two you didn't really I mean the third one you didn't really have Carl Malone would have been that the combo of the combo of Robinson and uh Ying would be interesting againsts in beat but they we also got a we got Anthony Davis too so ad would be a force I want to say that as great as phenomenal as all time great as Curry was what's he holding Up's holding up the Rost he showing up Christian lner and uh Patrick ying and then David Robinson go on as alltime great as Curry was and he was phenomenal um I thought ad was as close to that as you can get on defense I thought he held it down phenomenally on defense especially in the fourth quarter um six offensive rebounds in the finals too and don't even actually you know that's actually given him too much credit I can't put that I can't put as good as Curry was because Curry was phenomenal you put that number two on your list so I can't put ad all the way up there but that was special defense on his part because he was literally just blowing up whatever France wanted to do um yeah there's only two centers true yeah good good reply good reply late reply but um I still can't believe how close France was just off of wemi and yaselli and a little bit of fornier um I thought we were going to kill them due to their weak guards they held up the refs actually weren't as favorable to France as I thought they would be they actually called a pretty even game they definitely let France get away with some you know little chicken chicken wings here and there little you have to wait when they come to La Watch What Happens 2028 Olympic Basketball Preview right if we get home cooking in La B might steal it back when he goes to honest with W's a baby alen if W's a baby alien right now he's gonna be a full force alien oh he's going full he might go full it couldn't it couldn't be in a better spot for him he's like wait you stole this from me on my home floor I'll do it I'll do the same get let me look at you guys have been waiting for this on 21st century I'm gonna steal this real quick bring it back to France then come back to the NBA and go get a chip like let me do that real quick you know the other thing realistically did you see his quote that he had no go ahead uh wemi had I'm gonna pull it up here uh he had a basically a quote that like I'm just like scratching the surface pretty much oh he said and then some like basically in four years Watch What Happens yeah I I'm gonna bring up the exact quote but um yeah give me just a second you guys can keep talking I'm gonna bring up the exact quote all right well all I was gonna say is realistically four years from now La 2028 who y'all think's on this roster like to make us win so a e still here D book should still be here so if I'm gonna be I'm gonna be honest with you go on I was gonna say halber and Tatum probably should like Tatum should be one of the leaders I think I don't think hatley's in here that'll be y'all don't take Jason BR this next time around y'all disrespect him this way yeah Brunson should be there and we'll see depending on you know inj I don't know if JT will come back and I don't think Jaylen Brown might do it he might do it but I don't think Jay you said you don't think halbert's gonna be on there I don't think I don't think that think spot kind of secured if he was on this one as a bench warmer you talking about J coming back bro true true but J ain't been in the Olympic pools yet so J Zion a I think that's a guarantee guess throwing him those lobs though Alber throwing throwing those lobs real shooter so I think I'm putting I understand what they said putting a 5% chance on Steph or KD being there still the leag 5% chance because if they're still the league and they get asked they might play the Diana terasi veteran role on the team especially Kevin Durant St could spot up in the corner say like I could see them being the three on three team but we got de booked for that now like de book on be four years give me give me Steph KD and whoever whether it's Steph KD and Brun or Steph KD and like Anthony Davis or embid on the three on three team in LA because we'll definitely Steph and KD show back up I'm going to sleep you're right Kyle Kyle you're right uh I want to just quickly say that Wy quote um he said I'm learning and I'm worried for the opponents in a couple of years and then the guy asked um if he meant the NBA or feba in Wy said everywhere yeah that's what I'm talking about we're all scared I mean wem's not even I'm worried I'm learning and I'm worried for opponents W's like W's like wild the alien is going crazy in the head he's like 116th he was like a [ __ ] that [ __ ] was hurt bro he's 116th of whatever he's going to be and he's already putting up a double double with like four blocks in the league like this year is going to be scary imagine him in year four and five and six like it's going to be ridiculous going be ins papic in your head you just learning the little Tinkers of the game from one of the best Minds exactly and you lock that down and Tim dummy could work with you every season Chris Paul's on the team this year you got Timmy on yeah Chris Paul well I mean that's good for your mind to be honest no that's what I'm saying that's what I'm saying like you can there's not think about all the easy buckets he's are you getting Chris Paul or you getting Cliff Paul that's what's really the question Tim Duncan still in the organization you're from France obviously Tony Parker's in the organization Bahamas chilling I mean Tony Tony Parker did say like I don't really need to tell him everything he already has everything essentially he just needs to put it together and stay healthy like that's realistic ton think he's he's from France he's been in Tony Parker's Camp since he was probably like 10 12 years old no he's probably like 65 at a 10 he's been he's been putting grow bear on skates since he was 16 so so that's the thing gold beer don't even need to be on if gold beer was beer fooot stuck to the ground he would still get cwed honestly honestly um last thing I'm going to remember about this particular team though um like there's a lot about American culture I dislike as of the last 10 years like we've done incredibly narcissistic whatever whatever actually liked how often we leaned into the Ugly American stereotype during this like between whether it was Noah LS but our team even like we're dancing up on the podium and beats doing the suck it sign like I liked it I like we leaned all the way into it and I'm like yeah we're here this is America we had Jimmy Fallon on the sideline going crazy like Jimmy Fallon was going like we were just looking he was probably CED out of his mind like we we just look like as douchebaggery as like theer the Ugly American stereotype lived up and yeah we had Melo Cayenne all them going crazy on the sideline dond went Dron went to the uh the final he was talking on his podcast with Baron Davis like yeah I'm going to the final I'm try to surr sit the France bench I wish he would have I wish he actually would have sat behind the V that would have been iconic um yeah but man uh it was great it was memorable that's that's the most fun I've had watching basketball in quite some time I mean honestly allog together like the last time I can remember myself being like this is amazing is probably when we first had the bubble in 2020 like when we first debuted that and we just had games on from like noon to like 10 o'clock at night that's probably the last time I was really like damn can you believe this [ __ ] um you know not that the other NBA Seasons haven't been great but we've just been so every playoffs I mean we say this every year all the playoffs lately have been just so injury riddled with like stars specifically like we've just had so many stars taken from us Giannis the last two um Dame obviously this past one um we've just had a lot of that so and if we're gonna be quite honest obviously we obviously we've grown up in plenty of erors of basketball does Pablo come for us before y'all finish yeah you oh yeah n we about to go crazy Pao probably will I think Zion Pablo J AE [ __ ] let's run it back by the way by the way hold up hold up we didn't even talk about yabas Celli dunking on Lebron that adds to this game too I saw someone said that was payback for the war crimes that Vince Carter did in the 2000 Olympics and I'm like you know what yeah that is that is payback and he was this close to catching Steph too he was this close to catching step he almost caught Steph and Lebron in the same game not that I understand just the fact that's right I forgot about that he went for but yeah no he got he got LeBron he got LeBron was this close to saying I got Steph and Lebron in the same game but disrespectful if we're gonna be honest Kyle quick what you were saying about basketball and obviously the bubble and everything the true thing too is we haven't seen Steph Braun and KD in high leverage Do or Die games than like for Championship Stakes obviously since Steph was in the playoffs but it's been like a while and I understand that like obviously we've got jic we've got Giannis we've got Luca we've got Jason tlor we've got so many players that are in like so great but like LeBron and Steph are just and KD too I don't want him take him out LeBron Steph and KD are just so much fun to watch in these moments and we've watched them kind of grow up and seeing them still do it like even in the regular season games like some of the games you think about you're like oh LeBron James and Steph andou oot that 145 to 144 game Steph T those last two minutes yeah like it's like it's those like you still obviously like the ratings wise they're still the two most popular Stephen LeBron and then obviously KD's right there with him but like the ratings wise are G to just go to Stephen LeBron because of that but it goes for a reason because they do electrifying things like this like just this team alone your three best players your three oldest players like and they were and I understand they played the more they played more minutes since they Tatum or Anthony Edwards or whatnot but they earned it LeBron but in four years when they in their Prime yeah no but like when Anthony Edwards is in his prime this is gonna be probably Anthony Edwards team in 2028 oh 100% him Zion J you got Cooper flag will be on this roster I FL should be on his roster balling the way he been balling but you got to think like you said Cen up there Mikey Williams might be up there [ __ ] dbook gonna be the vet like there G be a lot of crazy different typ of here T Tyrese Maxi might be up here at that time absolutely there might be some crazy you know you new Young energy K they talking about Kate Cunningham and I'm like damn I didn't even think K and I'm saying Pablo like y'all bugging all Pablo thinking that J you're not gonna have Jaylen Suggs and Pablo on the same team is crazy work bro I love lamelo on this roster he'd be so much run an olymp he should be on this Rost he doing dimes from half court behind the back what I'm saying he would just be Olympic stage would be so fun do an NBA would never be too truly Lonzo would be the better fit probably but with his knees I say if he's healthy he got the KNE me you and Kyle put together pretty much and I'm the only one with knee Outro surgery yeah if Kyle I think it's time I think it's time I don't know why you unmuted him how do how do we get that you un muted him at the point where he just happened to say that out of all things we're we're okay we have to do a sobriety check on Duke every time we go to pod we have to do a bre we're gonna have to somehow do a breathalyzer on Duke every time we [Laughter] record oh yeah yeah now you got water now you got water that's I was on that bubble take that money take that M takey okay Warner Brothers podcast we be back we'll be back I'm G need a Warner disclaimer actually
