I saw Isaac at a Taco Bell once. I went up to him and told him I was a big fan. He immediately asked me, “Who is the GOAT?” I said Jordan, and he punched me square in the face while yelling something about me “not knowing ball.” Never meet your heroes.
Don changed my oil at a Jiffy Lube last week. He turned what should've been a 10 minute pit stop into a 2 hour yap session. He went on a tangent about how his HS football team made the state finals and his coach benched him after he threw 3 interceptions the previous game. He said his team would've won if his coach didn't bench him and he would've gone pro.
I work as a waitress at a Steakhouse and I actually served Mo last week. I was really excited when I saw him and told him I was a big fan but he didn't say anything back. When I asked him whether or not he wanted a menu he told me he wanted to be served by someone else. When I asked him why he said that I "killed the whole vibe". I told him that he was really rude and he responded by saying that he won't argue with someone working as a waiter and that I should "get my bread up". This job is the only way I can support my parents while in college. Never meet your heroes
when you’re at your professional job you need to control your emotions. rather than get “really excited” you should have calmly said that you enjoy his content
I’ve been a fan of this channel for over two years now, and I love the way it has grown. I have a video idea, and I think it would be great for the channel. Each person has its unique role. (ehh) As an example, Isaac would pick a ranking idea for Mo. He would blind rank the players while Donovan tried to guess what the idea is. Ex: Isaac tells Mo to BL RK off Speed 1. Fox 2. Curry 3. Morant 4. Ball 5. Haliburton And Donovan would have to guess what the ranking is about. (speed)
Also the ranking Idea needs to be such that it is subjective not objective if it is objective then then it is somewhat easy to guess but if it's a subjective category like aura then like everyone will have a separate answer
yes nuggets playing better in general but one thing is just simply that Jok is playing the best ball of his career. Stats look alike always (calm 30 15 15 nun crazy for Jok), but he is playing perfect ball. Shooting 70% every single game and so few turnovers. Last game 17 assists 1 turnover??
Also got to give credit to Aaron Gordon for being willing to come off the bench and let Russ start it’s allowing them to play faster while also letting AG be a scoring threat against everyone 2nd unit
@ big agree. It’s allowing flexibility on defense too. AG looked a bit rough defensively last year, so him slowing down a bit against the bench is probably for the best too. Since he’s also a very solid passer, this also kinda frees up his playmaking and he’s able to look open guys like Stradtner, Braun and MPJ
@@benjimiguel17he got injured at the beginning of the game to be fair and the thunder had hartenstein for that one, I think a very big reason the mavs are good against the thunder is the big man matchups and PJ Washington turning into prime Paul George against them.
@@Surge-ing that’s true aswell! I remember I always hated Kidd in the earlier years because of his lineups and stuff but now the team has a roster built for his coaching style so I have faith in the mavs
I actually went to school with mo as a kid and I was building a block tower and he walked up to me and said “this a bum ahh building” I responded it’s a work in progress but i like it and think it’s pretty. I even offered to let him help in response he kicked my building down pushed me out the way saying I “need to get my bread up” and built my exact building and showed it off to the class and took all the credit for it and praise from the teacher. Never meet your hero’s

Clippers fan here, defending my team. There is absolutely no way we’re the most sauceless team in even the NBA’s history. If we were having this conversation in 2013 when Donald sterling still owned the team, then sure. At that point we’d only ever had one MVP, a handful of all stars and like 4 playoff appearances. Since then but in the last 10 years we’ve had a lot more. We had one of the most fun teams ever in lob city, with 3 all stars and a 3 time 6moy winner, and the highlights that came with them were some of the best ever. We had the two years between lob city and the Kawhi/PG era where we still managed to be a >0.500 team and even took the peak Golden State Warriors to 6 games including the 31 point comeback, not to mention beating them so bad in the regular season that it started all the draymond/kd beef. That 2019 Clippers team is more responsible for the downfall of the KD Warriors than any other team in the league. That season was also Lebrons first year in LA, getting upstaged by the little brother team without a single all star. Then we had the Kawhi/PG era, which is an obvious disappointment, but that’s because of injuries more than anything else. Without Joe Ingles taking out Kawhis knee, the western conference would’ve been a cakewalk, and we probably would’ve beaten the bucks. The 2021 Clippers is one of the most slept on teams in recent years. We took nearly every problem that caused our bubble choke and improved upon it. But injuries happen, so we can call the Kawhi/PG era a disappointment. Either way, 14 straight years of being a >0.500 team, including some of the most fun teams in recent years, along with some legitimate title runs and a fair few all stars, is enough to put us over someone like the wizards, hornets, pelicans or Nets. And if we wanna talk jerseys, clippers have had some great ones too.
52:40 Alex Hoops has great video breaking down the inflation of contracts. It looks at the percentage of the cap that a contract takes up. Almost all players, with exception to a few, are making the same percentage of cap that they would’ve gotten paid 5-15 years ago relative to their role on their team.
Kobe, Dwight, Nash were championship or bust. I know it was injuries that killed them, but damn. They had 3 of the top ten guys in mvp voting from the year prior. All playing different roles on the team. Then Dwight was gone the next season.
As a Chicago fan, the Bulls is the iconic logo people always think of in Chicago. The Bulls is the logo that sells merch. But goddamn I'd been wanting that Bears' logo to be the primary (it used to be a secondary behind the C) since I saw it when I was like 3 and when they made that switch a few years ago to have the bear as the primary logo I was so excited. The Bulls logo deserves it but that Bears logo is my GOAT in all of sports. Maybe not the 'best' but 100% my favorite. If that logo had the history of the 90's Bulls tacked on, it might deserve the same credit Imo.
The lakers should trade Lebron and AD to the Cavs for Spida, Allen, and 1-3 firsts. Lakers get younger and a fresh start, Cavs get better for a title run, and LeBron returns to finish in Cleveland. It would never happen, but it would be fun
I know it would never happen but if I was Indy, I’d go after the other Sun. Booker. Throw all your young pieces and picks. Booker would have to say he wanted out for it to happen, but him and haliburton would be a great duo.
Hot take as rockets fan is trade DB asap since this is basically peak DB but my ice cold take is the the overpays for DB and FVV were some of the best overpays in recent history
I saw mo at the clinic once and walked up to him to ask him for a photo. As I walked up he looked at me with a disgusted look. He proceeded to say “don’t talk to me unless you have over 50k in your bank account” (I currently have 2.98 dollars). I said that to him as I did I saw him clinch his fist. Next thing I knew he socked me straight in the jaw knocking 5 of my adult teeth out. As I was in pain on the floor he walked over, looked down on me, and said “get your money up not your funny up” he then proceeded to laugh like a gremlin and fade away. NEVER meet your heroes
I’m praying okc faces Dallas in round 1 im begging for that actually the last time everyone played(not Chet or pj) thunder washed them so i cant wait for that to happen again
@@Ostenjoyerah yes if you remove the mavs best defender in one game it looks really bad. By the same logic the mavs missing what 7 guys including 2/3 of their best 4 players. Yeah keep crying mavs own okc.
Celtics hot take, there's a real chance they don't make the ECF. I say this as a Celtics fan, but they've been playing straight up uninspiring basketball for a few months, and I don't know if I'm confident they can just turn it on and cruise to the ECF.
Cmon dude be fucking serious the Celtics have looked bad and still racked up 30 wins by January. They will shit on every team in the east except Cleveland
Bradley Beal is the worst max contract in league history. Then add on the no trade clause and it's insane. On a decent team he is nothing more than a role player. His contract as it is now will hold back any team from making it out of the first round. To put it in perspective his production is basically the same as klay Thompson.
No joke in my fantasy basketball league, I was going to pick Bam for the whole round, but my brother took him without knowing before me, leaving Karl Anthony Towns. I was so mad in the moment but it literally could not age any better now
Tim Connelly in 2024: “this man is a genius he built the Denver roster then built the only team that could beat them in Minnesota”. Tim Connelly in 2025: “save Anthony Edwards from this man”
It’s not all that bold. We are responsible for like 9 of their last 12 losses and we haven’t faced them healthy. Chet scares me but a playoff Luka outweighs thats
I have no reason to think the Lakers would struggle with a rebuild. Before LeBron got there they were in a rebuild. They had the best collection of young talent in the league and traded most of it for AD.
Re:the salary cap Zach Levine discussion it's literally just pocket-watchers and people getting mad about "entitled athletes" which has always been a garbage way of viewing athletes. Same mentality that makes people get mad about endzone celebrations.

I’ve been a fan of this channel for over two years now, and I love the way it has grown. I have a video idea, and I think it would be great for the channel. Each person has its unique role. (ehh) As an example, Isaac would pick a ranking idea for Mo. He would blind rank the players while Donovan tried to guess what the idea is.
Ex: Isaac tells Mo to BL RK off Speed
1. Fox
2. Curry
3. Morant
4. Ball
5. Haliburton
And Donovan would have to guess what the ranking is about. (speed)
Gas video idea.
Also the ranking Idea needs to be such that it is subjective not objective if it is objective then then it is somewhat easy to guess but if it's a subjective category like aura then like everyone will have a separate answer
they predicted the davis trade
yes nuggets playing better in general but one thing is just simply that Jok is playing the best ball of his career. Stats look alike always (calm 30 15 15 nun crazy for Jok), but he is playing perfect ball. Shooting 70% every single game and so few turnovers. Last game 17 assists 1 turnover??
