And we back!

It's the KD episode,

episode thirty-five of the

Best Damn W Show.

This is gonna be a fun episode.

I feel like somebody's gonna

get some shit off their

chest about some things.

But I'm your host, Jay.

I got my brother and my sister, Lo.

Nick Andre.

The oldest brother in the ones and twos,

Wiley.

The elder of the crew.

Okay.

How's everybody doing on this beautiful,

beautiful Tuesday?

Listen, first of all,

let me say one thing before

y'all answer that.

It's only Tuesday,

and this shit feel like the

longest week already.

Man, what?

I'm ready for Saturday.

No, what the fuck is going on?

You know what I'm saying?

I'm married.

That's what that is.

Life be life.

When you grown, life be life and boy,

kids don't know.

It don't stop.

When you want to breathe, it's like,

hell no,

life gonna throw some other shit at you.

I swear, I'd be like, god damn.

Wally, how you doing, Wally?

Oh, I'm good, brother.

You know, just blessed to be here.

There we go.

That's the elder.

Blessed to be here.

Hey, were you seeing some things?

You just say, I'm blessed to be here.

I'm blessed.

I'm blessed to be not six feet under.

Right.

No, that is.

No, that is.

We got a good show for y'all, man.

We got the draft recap.

We're going to probably

touch on some portal stuff

real quick and get up out of here.

One thing, a couple things.

I mean,

shout out to y'all coming through

the playback last night.

I mean, y'all was excited.

When I hit start,

it was already twenty five

y'all in there ready.

Yeah,

there's already twenty-five in there

already.

And then it got like eighty

people in there consistently.

Towards the end,

it was still fifty people in there,

but it was,

and y'all was in the chat talking.

Ain't like y'all was in

there not doing nothing.

Y'all was in there live,

so I appreciate that with y'all.

Also, man, listen, man.

Listen, y'all got to start giving me,

Wiley, and Nick some love.

The way y'all get low love and Raina.

She ain't even on the

damn... He not even on the plane.

A lot of them don't even

know what Raina look like.

Raina only appear on the

camera like twice.

Twice.

Raina say something in the background.

She get more hype than I do

than Wiley and Nick.

Like, come on, man.

That's the life of being a man.

I don't know.

Well, man,

I appreciate y'all showing them

love like that, man.

I appreciate that, though.

And another thing,

I got some off my chest real quick.

It's starting to get nice outside.

I'm a dog person.

I love dogs.

I've had a dog in my life up

until last year.

We've had a dog, right?

But y'all better start

leaving Fido ass at home

and stop bringing him to

the grocery store.

I'm tired of seeing dogs

inside and grocery stores

and shit in these strollers.

Why y'all got a stroller for

the dog anyway?

He or she got four legs.

What is going on?

Leave these dogs at home.

I don't want to be having to

pick for my groceries and y'all dog.

Nick,

do you see that down there in Florida?

No, it's all the time.

I was about to say, man.

I know you see it.

It's getting out of control.

I love animals.

I am pro-animal to a point.

Leave their ass at home.

They ain't got to go to the

grocery store with you, man.

That's their emotional support dog.

They will.

You can't do nothing about it.

Nope.

Nothing.

Nick and Lo, they know where I live,

so the dog community is just insane.

The shit I be seeing outside

of how they be with these strollers.

You taking a walk and you

got a dog in a stroller.

I prefer that than people

walking a cat on a leash.

That's even worse.

I hate cats, man.

That's even worse.

Hold up, dog.

You said a cat on a leash?

Yes, a cat on a leash.

Yes.

That shit look crazy, bro.

Let that cat go.

I saw a cat with a harness on.

I didn't even know they made

those for cats.

Man, let that cat be free.

Let that cat be free.

I'm going to leave something.

Just another thing, too.

If you take your dog outside

and they take a dump, pick it up, bro.

I'm tired of that, bro.

Man, clean that shit up, man.

I'm tired of having to step over shit.

Like, bro, please.

Man, yes.

If your dog is shitting,

you better bring that bag.

Listen, get you a jewel bag, whatever bag,

your grocery store bag.

They actually make those bags.

Yep.

They don't even cost that much.

It's like ten dollars for

ten of the rolls.

It ain't that much.

Right.

When you go get your dog food,

get you some shit bags and pick it up.

It's not even that hard.

I just don't understand.

Like I said, I love animals.

I don't need nobody being mad.

I love animals.

I love dogs, but man...

Come on, man.

Just get real out here.

I've been saying a lot since

the weather getting nice.

Everybody is now really

walking their dogs.

You know what I'm saying?

People who don't even know

how to dog start walking their dog.

Yeah, exactly.

It's a few I've been seeing.

They fight through the weather and shit.

Fuck all that.

it gets snowy and shit you

walking your dog a mile

please hell no not doing

that but it's getting nice

I'm seeing that people walk

their dogs and man we need

we gotta get better with

this we really do but I

just had to get it off my

chest I've been seeing that

shit a lot lately uh who in

the chat what up kid what

up k dot uh how you say his

name the demon demon

what's happening man too

much maintenance with dogs

it is a big responsibility

dog it just it is a big

responsibility that's why

we don't have we had to it

was too much it was just

too much to have we miss

her but it was just too

much we we couldn't do it

but uh it's too much once

we got kids and they they a

lot of responsibility a

damn dog low no let your dog get sick

Man, he's still sick.

He's one foot in,

one foot out in life for real.

I'm not going to lie.

Once he's out of here,

I'm not getting another dog.

Literally,

just to board him when I go out

of town for WNBA stuff, automatically,

four hundred dollars.

Minimum,

four hundred dollars when I go to

board him.

Lamar,

they be treating their dogs like kids,

man.

One time,

Raina went to California to visit

her uncle when Ace was born,

and he got a new dog.

He kept on saying, he was like,

I got a new dog.

It's like, I'm a parent.

You can let that damn dog go do whatever.

I can't just let this child

go do whatever.

It's not the same.

It's not at all.

It's not the same.

God, it's just funny.

It's just funny.

But let's get into this shit, man.

We're going to start with the draft.

Thoughts?

I mean, we gave some as we went on.

First of all, I'm sorry.

It was just long as hell.

It was long.

First round was an hour.

It was a lot of dragging, though, too.

They did that little Diana

Taurasi tribute right after

the first pick.

They did.

They could have done that in

between maybe the last pick

of the first round,

first pick of the second draft,

in between some intermission type shit.

But it was a lot of dragging

with that stuff.

They also talked about the fever, too.

I don't know why.

Even though the fever didn't

even have the pick at the time.

and then um holly was asking

like five six questions to

one player like yo like two

questions let's move on

like we we on time man like

come on and then asking

page all them questions

like she was like we didn't

just ask her all these

questions before you know

what I'm saying like it was

just it was just a lot but

overall nick who who was

since you started talking

um who was your winner and

loser of the draft damn I

didn't think about that um

I don't know if I

necessarily have a winner or a loser.

Well, I take that back.

If I had to say the winner,

I'll probably say I'll

probably go with Dallas.

I mean, not even just a page pick,

you know,

but they also got one of my

favorite scores in the country,

Isaiah James.

I think that's a big pickup.

I think that she could be a

huge piece if she does make

the final roster, you know,

be a good scoring punch in

the second unit.

So I'm not mad at that as well.

Also, you know, the Connecticut Sun too.

I'm actually a really big fan of that.

Back-to-back picks, Anissa Morrow,

Sanaya Rivers,

both two great dynamic players.

Anissa Morrow was arguably

like the best player in the SEC, you know,

so that definitely helped

her draft stock a lot.

And I think going to

Connecticut is going to be

really good for her,

especially playing behind

the likes of Tina Charles and others.

So I know that Connecticut

is in this rebuilding period,

but I really like what

their future is looking like, honestly.

I mean,

This could be a playoff team

within the next maybe three

to five years.

Who knows?

But overall, I like the draft.

I actually have my own

personal favorite picks.

Hang on.

Let me pull it up real quick.

I talked about Connecticut.

I was also a fan of Sarah

Ashley Barker going to L.A.

That was something that I

did not see at all.

I was thinking about that pick today.

I was like, man,

do they really need another wing?

Honestly, like a wing score in a way,

but also at the same time,

I'm not mad at it.

If she does make the final roster,

I think that she could be another

big punch off the bench, you know,

especially playing behind

the likes of Rakia,

the likes of Ray Burrell

and other players as well.

So I was a big fan of that.

Obviously got a red Florida State,

KK Timpson.

I really think playing in

Indiana is going to work

really well for us.

The thing about KK,

and I've been saying it for a while,

KK is pro ready.

Like I think many people may

not understand that, but

Honestly,

I think she's going to adjust to

the pro really, really well, honestly,

obviously being a backup

potentially behind Aaliyah Boston.

But she's also proven that

she can play in so many

areas of the floor, honestly, on offense.

And I think that one thing

about her is that she's

played with so many great

passers in the past,

whether it's Tenaya Lassen,

whether it's Amari Gordon.

So now you're playing with

another dynamic passer like

Kaitlyn Clark.

That's going to also

generate a lot of opportunities for her.

She knows how to play and pick your role.

She knows how to position

herself underneath the basket.

So that's something that also –

that she could also bring to

the table as well for Indiana.

Not even just KK.

Honestly, overall,

Indiana had a really good

draft all around, honestly.

I saw some fans on the

timeline complaining,

but I thought they did

pretty good in the draft.

Zay Green's another one

going to Washington.

I was a really big fan of that.

And if you know Zay Green's

story as far as her dealing

with multiple injuries,

And then, of course, you know,

this past year at Alabama

really showing our really

being able to increase our draft stock,

especially playing in the SEC.

I thought that was really good.

So shout out to Zay Green.

I mean,

I hope that she's another piece

that possibly makes this

final roster spot.

And then, of course,

Harmony Turner as well.

Like that's one that I'm

hoping can play this year

because I really do believe that Vegas,

obviously we like we've had

our concerns with Vegas's depth.

But I do think that Harmony

Turner could play a big

impact on that team, honestly,

especially with the way

that she could shoot the basketball.

And I think that she could

generate a lot of

opportunities in the second

unit if you place her next

to Dana Evans or Tiffany

Mitchell or whoever,

even if she's playing next to Asia Wilson,

honestly.

She's going to get a lot of

opportunities to shoot the

basketball if she does get

that green light to score.

But we obviously got to get

to the real deal.

Diamond Johnson being our draft.

He's flowing.

Go ahead, boy.

Go ahead and do your thing.

I'll be real.

I was hot.

I was hot pretty much all night.

I could, like...

It doesn't it doesn't make

sense to me because like I

projected a first round.

And even if she didn't go first round,

I was still thinking like, you know,

there's no way that she

can't that she that she

does not get drafted.

And to see how many picks is

like thirty eight,

thirty nine overall in a draft,

something like that,

to see all those picks happen.

And you don't hear Diamond

Johnson's name whatsoever.

It's just flat out ridiculous to me.

I mean,

this is a player who was by far one

of the best players in the MEAC,

led Norfolk State to two

tournament appearances.

led them to two conference

championships and somehow

some way she doesn't get drafted.

It's just insane to me.

Like,

and I'm not here trying to disrespect

anybody else that got drafted.

Cause I mean,

this is a huge accomplishment

for all these young women,

but to not have diamond

Johnson on that list,

as far as being drafted,

it's just absolutely insane to me.

I think it's just an

indication that people

don't take HBCU basketball serious.

And it's, and it's a damn shame, honestly,

because especially when it's basketball,

they've shown out,

not even just Norfolk state.

You saw Howard have a really good season.

Then you go to the SWAC.

You saw Southern make the NCAA tournament.

You see teams like Alabama

A&M and other teams as well.

So HBCU basketball has

always produced pretty good talent,

especially over the past recent years.

And Diamond Johnson is an

indication of one of them.

I know that Diamond Johnson

didn't start out at HBCU,

but for her to show out and

pretty much help put HBCU

basketball on the map, honestly,

and then show out as one of

the best point guards in the country,

that should have easily

gotten her drafted.

But I hope, hopefully soon,

Diamond can sign a training

camp contract.

That's what I'm hoping for.

But

To not have her name called

was just insane to me.

But overall, good draft.

I know that it's not as

strong as recent or like last year per se,

but I really want to see

how a lot of this talent

translate to the W. What you got, Lo?

Nothing.

Nick said it all.

I mean...

Nick said it all.

I think that... I mean, I agree.

The two people or the two

teams that I had that, in my opinion,

I had one of the better

drafts were Dallas.

And just because they just

added more athletic wings

to their arsenal of wings already,

it's going to be a very

hard training camp over there.

Like...

Some players are going to get cut.

Hopefully they get picked up elsewhere,

but it's going to be a very

tough spot for guards to be

in because they have so

many athletic guards over there.

I thought that they would go

for another big because we

know how sometimes Big T

isn't always engaged in the game,

but they chose not to.

I guess they're putting all

their eggs in MHA over there.

So, yeah, that's interesting.

And I also think,

even though the Mystics are tanking,

I think they had a solid draft as well.

Kiki, Sonya, they have Georgia...

They have Zay Green, who, again,

I've been very vocal about,

especially when I saw her play in person.

Like, I think that's what really got me.

Like, she's super athletic.

And I told this story before,

but I'll tell it really quickly.

When I was covering the UMD versus Alabama,

the first round game, I was, you know,

we were actually seated at, like,

where the score table was.

And look at Big Baby talking

about the Lakers.

I'm crying.

But yeah,

we were seated by the score table.

And so it was the dead ball.

They were taking the ball out.

So I leaned over to D.A.

and I was like, bro, she can fucking hoop.

And I thought I whispered it

because they were right there.

But I thought I whispered.

She looked back and she

smiled and she was like, I was like,

I'm telling the truth.

Like, you know, there you go.

And so, anyway, I'm a fan.

I hope she's able to make the roster.

But, again, they're tanking.

Why not hoard young talent

just in case you got to move them?

They still have a lot of

draft picks coming up in

the next few years.

So, I'm not mad where they are.

The Georgia Amor pick kind

of threw me off.

But then when I took a step

back and looked at it,

they needed a point guard

because Van Loo is gone.

So, it's like...

Who are you taking?

They're not taking Diamond

Johnson that high, unfortunately.

So it's like, who are you taking?

So it's not that many options.

It was Haley, Georgia...

I mean, as a just pure point guard,

it's not that many options.

So I get it.

I just didn't anticipate her

going that high.

I'm trying to think what else.

I think the biggest shocker

for me and my timeline has

been going crazy.

My mentions have been going crazy.

It's just the whole Diamond Miller.

I mean, yeah, I mean,

the whole Diamond Johnson thing.

I said it in a TikTok before

the draft even started.

I literally said that they

were going to play with her.

and I said that because I

just felt it and it's not

it's more than her just

being five five so I'm sick

of everybody saying that

that's not so much like

that hannah hannah is five

six she gonna probably be a

top three pick when she

come out ivory ladder was

five five to me like

georgia amore is five six right

There's no difference.

Haley Van Lisk is five six.

She ain't nobody.

She said what?

She's not.

She's not.

So my point is in this draft specifically,

it's just a slap in the

face for women that wants to go back.

It's not even women,

black women that wants to

go back and represent at an HBCU.

So they're basically telling them,

I don't care how good you are.

If you go to a black school,

and you're below average in height, like,

you're not getting drafted.

And I think it's just bullshit,

to be honest.

She is not only one of the

best guards in the country,

but she was one of the best

guards in the draft.

She was better than

seventy-five percent of the

guards that got drafted.

I'm gonna just keep it a hundred.

Like,

she was better than seventy-five

percent of the guards that got drafted.

So...

It's politics.

I hate it.

But you're talking about

someone that came in as a

high school player.

She was ranked number six in

her drive class.

So you go from being ranked

number six at Rutgers.

You literally score

seventeen point six points per game,

four boards, two assists and two steals.

You then transfer to NC

State where you want ACC

six player of the year.

you rank second in scoring

and assists on the team you

also are in the mid-season

watch list for national

player of the year off the

bench and then the Don

Staley award um then you

train so you play there two

years you transfer to

Norfolk you go um all all

all MEAC first team all

MEAC defensive team

selection you then you then

win the most outstanding

player in the MEAC you

then go on to win

back-to-back MEAC champions,

you win MEAC Player of the Year.

And you're telling me that's

not a WNBA talent?

You're cooking.

That's not a WNBA talent?

So who is a WNBA talent then?

Like, it doesn't make sense to me.

So people can say, oh,

she needs to lose weight.

And...

That's another thing.

Stop that shit.

Like,

this ain't the time to body shame

because she didn't get drafted.

Like, I keep saying, oh,

she needs to lose weight.

Did she need to lose weight

when she was dropping?

Did she need to lose weight

when she was dropping?

Did she need to lose weight

when she was dropping?

No.

But now all of a sudden, oh, oh,

she five five and she need

to lose weight.

Like cut it out.

Like let's call a spade a spade.

When black women are short,

they don't get the same

luxury as white women when

they get to go to the WNBA.

Again, Haley Van Lift, five, six, five,

seven on her best day.

Georgia Amor, five, six.

So you mean one inch more?

One inch more is really the

determinant factor whether

somebody goes to the WNBA or not.

stop it like it just it just

it logically it just

doesn't make sense and all

these bullshit excuses like

under my timeline and my

mentions like y'all can say

because guess what baby she

needs to be drafted and my

opinion my my opinion is

not going to change in my

opinion she is better than

hayley offensively and she

is better than georgia

offensively period I don't

have anything i

There you have it.

I knew Love was going to get going.

I felt it.

I knew she was going to get going.

I felt it.

Your mentions have been going crazy.

I do everything y'all saying.

I've been going back and

looking at the tweets, bro.

They stupid as shit.

They so damn dumb up in there.

I didn't even see them

because I didn't even see

them until you sent it

because I muted that shit.

It was like my phone.

Yeah, I mute so fast.

I just block.

I don't even mute no more.

I just block now.

Martin Lowe, get the fuck out of here.

You're so funny as hell.

But, yeah, man, that shit,

I don't like how they

playing with her like that, man,

like the height stuff.

And like you said,

you knew they was going to

play with her before the draft.

I literally called it.

I called it.

I wanted to be wrong.

And this is the thing about

Aubrey Griffin.

It's no disrespect to her.

Like,

I'm not trying to be disrespectful

when I say that.

But, like, wasn't she the last draft pick?

She was the last one, right?

Yes.

No, no, no.

Second to last.

Second to last.

Second to last.

Second to last.

Last one.

So that's why I chose her name.

Because...

It's like, I'm so sorry.

Aubrey averaged two points a game.

Like, I'm glad your dreams came true,

sister, but guess what?

You're not better than Diamond,

and that's fine.

That's fine.

It's okay.

That's the problem.

All these kids think you can

get a participation trophy.

Hell no.

You know,

and I'm glad you brought that up.

Like, the whole Aubrey was shocked.

Her name was Kaylin, right?

Chin?

She was shocked.

People were saying to me, and I know this.

I know how the Bay Area get.

They have a huge Asian community.

Man, fuck all that.

She should not have been called.

I get it.

I know y'all want to sell jerseys.

Y'all trying to sell tickets

and shit like that because

who's out there?

But come on, let's be real, man.

Everybody, when they called her name,

she was shocked.

Her teammates were shocked.

Did anybody know that she

was going to get – come on.

No draft board.

No draft board had her going, period.

Period.

I didn't see Aubrey going in no direction.

And I'm not even trying to

be disrespectful when I say this.

I don't even remember Aubrey in the games,

to be honest.

Like, I really don't.

I don't.

Like,

so you mean to tell me someone that

literally won the Player of

the Year in the MEAC, whose team also,

you know, held tough with a lot of P-IV,

P-V schools, like,

she doesn't deserve a look?

Like, that's crazy to me.

That's just crazy to me.

And that's what I got.

They say you're right.

The WNBA about to turn into

a league of vibes and not talent.

And, you know,

that's a good segue because...

That's how I feel about

Haley going to Chicago.

That's exactly how I feel

with picks like that.

And this is no disrespect to her.

She's a good player.

I just don't like that fit there.

That's basically what that is,

especially after what they

said they wanted.

She's not even six feet tall.

You know what I'm saying?

And I think Lowe said it in the playback.

We're going to see what's

going to happen to her,

what we saw happen to her against Texas.

Basically,

that's what's going to happen

with her this season.

She can't guard anybody.

You're going to have to.

She's definitely going to get barbecued,

man, but I know, like,

I made a video about,

I did my recap about this guy, but

It's Haley.

So I know a lot of people will like her.

It's her name.

She got a redemption story, pretty much.

You know what I'm saying?

But it's her and Angel together.

And who else is going there?

Matt.

And there's nothing.

Like, they just passing on players.

They pretty much going to

have two drafting stashes because.

And Kulibaly.

Kulibaly got an ACL tear.

She's not playing.

Jeff talking about she going

to look nice in two or three years.

Talking about old girl from Slovenia.

So it's like.

So Haley going to make the team.

Basically, because he was like,

last night in his presser, he was like,

man,

we were surprised that Haley failed

to us.

Why?

That's not even y'all playing.

That's not even what y'all needed.

Why were you surprised?

I mean, to be fair,

a lot of people did project

her to go higher.

Like, I was projecting her to go to L.A.

Like,

so for them to pick Sarah Ashley Bark

over here, over her,

actually surprised me.

I thought she was going

middle second round.

I'm not going to hold you.

Like,

was I watching the same thing

everyone else was watching?

And this is the thing.

I think Haley is a decent

offensive player.

Like that's the thing.

I'm not like,

this is not a hate Haley train.

Like I want her to do well.

Like I want,

I want these women to succeed.

Like they've been working

towards this goal their entire lives.

So that's not what I'm saying.

I'm just shocked because

when she played in the sec

and she was playing athletic guards,

she was getting eaten up alive.

And so the WNBA is the best

players in the world.

And she's already undersized.

So when you add the fact

that you're already

undersized and you don't do

good against athletic guards,

and then you're going to

get targeted on defense,

it just didn't make sense to me.

Now, will I say Haley Van Lift?

She seems like she's a hard worker.

So I think that she will be in the gym.

And I think that she will get better,

but she's not going to grow

inches over the summertime.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, this is it.

Like,

imagine when Chelsea Gray is bodying

her ass down in the post.

It's over.

It's over.

Every time.

Put Chelsea in the post.

And guess what?

If you send a double,

Chelsea can pass out the double.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, that's just one example.

Right?

Like, that's just one example.

So that's my concern.

My concern is just her on

the defensive end and just

how she'll be able to

control the offense when she has,

you know,

athletic defenders guarding her.

I mean, we already saw.

We already saw what happened

last year with the Elite Eight.

And I know Haley was sick in that game,

but let's be real.

She couldn't fucking hold Kaitlyn.

I mean,

I will say her defense was a little

better this year.

But again,

the sample size is small because

she played

She played in a, you know,

a mid conference, respectfully.

You calling the Big Twelve a mid-major now,

huh?

It's not mid-major,

but it ain't one of the top

ones in my opinion.

No.

I've been saying that all year.

I've been very consistent.

No, you have.

And this ain't no Haley train.

Like, she on my squad now.

And another thing,

it's only two spots

available for this squad.

So, it was like,

he going to make it regardless.

I mean, I hope she does.

And she will, but it's just,

I just didn't like the fit.

I just didn't like the fit at all.

So, we're going to see.

I know a lot of people love

it because of her name.

We're going to see, though.

And they like that she's back with Angels,

so it's like a storybook, you know.

Yeah.

I love a storybook.

Yeah.

I don't like when the front

office for any team come out and say,

this is what we need,

this is what we're looking for,

and you do the complete opposite.

Because for what you said

you want and need,

Serena was right there.

Serena Sunday.

And then she was there again.

She fell low, man.

And then she was there again.

Especially with how well she

played towards the end of

the season in conference

play and in the tournament,

helping them get to the Sweet Sixteen.

Crazy.

Yeah, she fell low.

I think Cheyenne fell a

little lower than I thought too.

Where'd she go to?

Oh, the Valkyries, right?

She went into the middle of

the second round, correct?

Yeah, the middle of the second round.

I figured she would drop,

but I didn't think she was

going to fall to the Valkyries.

I know about the knee stuff, but man,

I don't like it.

HVL doesn't fit.

Yeah, that's the thing.

I mean,

a lot of people like it because of

the... People just see the

crazy redemption from...

Yeah, and it's her name.

That's basically what it is.

And that's what tournaments do.

Tournaments do that.

Tournaments will – Why do

you think Sarah Ashley

Barker went so high?

That tournament.

Y'all can't – because she

wasn't even the best player on her team,

respectfully.

She wasn't.

I had her go in the second round.

So for her to go that high,

like that tournament really

turned her up for sure.

And they lost that game.

Right.

It's not like they even made

it to like the Elite Eight.

They lost that game.

They did.

People see tweets, they don't.

And that's a fact.

And that's the kind of like,

last year with the whole Scott situation,

with Camilla and everything like that,

she had a good tournament.

You know what I'm saying?

He ain't never let that go.

I ain't never let that go.

And they was mad as fuck at

me for my tweet, man.

Fuck, man.

I'm going to stand on that.

I would still rather want Rekia Jackson.

Are you drunk?

Like, who wouldn't?

Like, what is y'all talking about, dog?

I could go either way.

I get it.

Like, I get it.

I get it.

No, I get it.

No, I get it.

I get it, but it's like, come on, man.

Y'all crazy.

Like... Like, yeah.

No, you can't pass that up.

No, you can't pass that up.

And the thing is,

I think Camila got a little bit better.

Again,

I don't really... She don't have a

monster year.

I don't trust China.

Yeah, I don't trust China,

but she definitely got better, though.

And like I said, and Tyler retrusts.

I trust him.

You know what I'm saying?

I definitely trust him, but...

That's just – I don't got –

Plus Miller was injured last year.

Last year with this guy, yeah.

Oh, yeah, she was.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I just – like,

I wasn't – it's just that I wanted her.

And it's nothing against her,

and it's nothing against Haley.

You know what I'm saying?

Like,

it's nothing against – they're good

players.

It's just –

the direction of what the teams are going.

But outside of that, man,

it's – I think Camilla –

I'm going to say this.

I think with them building around Camilla,

I think that she's going to

take them further than if

it was Rekia in her position.

I feel you.

I agree on that.

Like,

I don't think Rekia and Angel would

be taking them as far as I

think that Angel and

Camilla can take them.

I can go with you on that.

When Angel starts

consistently making layups

and her putbacks, and Camilla,

she's gotten better as well.

That's going to be one of

the best front courts in the WNBA.

I do like what they've added.

I mean,

they said they wanted to build

around Angel and Camilla.

And that's a good starting place to build,

for sure.

No, yeah, I like what they're doing.

Once again,

I just don't like what this guy's doing.

I get it.

She's a bucket, so I get it.

Man.

And it's like,

you know what made it even worse?

What made it worse is that

they didn't pick her,

and then they complained

about not having that in

the fall last season.

It's like,

It was right there for y'all.

You know what I'm saying?

But nothing against her,

South Carolina fans.

Nothing against her.

Because I know y'all was mad

as hell about that shit.

But one more thing.

Seattle, man, they get Dominique.

We knew it was going to get.

But then to get Serena in the third round,

it was just ridiculous.

You know, just in case.

Yeah, just in case y'all know.

But her against Serena,

y'all think she's going to make the team?

Serena make it to the third

round like that?

She should.

I think she should.

I think she should.

I like that for sure.

I do like that for sure.

And if y'all haven't watched

highlights on Dominique, man,

He's an easy dunker, man.

You're probably going to see

breakaway dunks and shit.

She definitely might dunk on

somebody this year.

Yeah, it's dunking got better.

They dunking got better for sure.

Like, her dunking definitely got better.

But she can finish.

Man, she's really good.

She's just not a dunker, man.

She can guard on the perimeter.

She can do it.

She got great hands.

It's a lot.

So, Seattle one, Serena.

How do you say her last name?

Dominique?

I guess Milanga.

I guess not.

Oh, yeah, they do,

but they do got a lot of

guards over there,

so I don't know what they're going to do.

I mean, Seattle in a good spot, honestly.

They're in a great spot.

Who do they got?

Zia, Sky, Lexi.

Like, you know,

we don't know what's going

to go on with Lexi all year.

You know what I'm saying?

Unfortunately, but...

Please don't.

Y'all gonna start crying

like a motherfucker.

Y'all gonna start crying

like a motherfucker.

Y'all gonna start crying

like a motherfucker.

Here you go, podcast girl.

Podcast girl.

Hey, speaking about Jaco, hey,

I think about her at least

once a month falling during the,

was that during the finals?

Yo, I think about that shit once a month.

Yo, I think about that shit once a month,

bro.

Oh, my God.

That shit was so funny.

Oh, my God.

That shit was so funny.

Anything, anything,

you have any losers for this draft, Lou?

Anybody you like this is dead bad?

I don't think so.

I think everybody,

I'm trying to think of the teams.

I'm trying to see who had a, I don't think,

I don't think last night I was like, man,

I don't know what the hell y'all doing.

Right.

Who is yours Nick?

Everyone because nobody

picked Diamond Johnson.

You said the link.

Somebody said the link in the chat.

Who did they pick?

The Lynx?

Hold on.

Let me look.

Phoenix didn't have no picks.

I didn't even peep that.

That's what I said.

I think that's going to hurt

them because I think they

need a guard in the worst way.

Who did Minnesota get?

Delilah Daniels from

Washington and Anastasia from Russia.

They got Aubrey Griffin.

Oh yeah, Aubrey Griffin.

Minnesota lost the draft.

yeah definitely lost the

draft y'all and it's not

I'm not saying that because

of aubrey I just don't I I

don't know what they did I

mean and they lost um hines

allen like off the bench so

it's like who are they

replacing her with like is

diamond uh miller getting

minutes now this year like

what are we doing did they

they didn't get better from

last year did they who did

they sign in free agency I can't remember

Did they sign anybody?

Yeah.

I don't think they signed anybody,

did they?

I think they did, right?

Didn't they sign the next

one person that was okay?

Cat, Wally, somebody, find them fools.

I don't remember them signing.

I don't recall them signing nobody.

High Demand?

They signed High Demand, right?

Well, I thought she was already there.

I mean, she was already there before.

Grace Berger?

Oh, yeah, they did get Grace Berger.

Okay, so... No free agent signing?

Yeah, they angrily signed about it.

It ain't looking good for them.

I'm not going to lie.

They're going to be solid

because they got feed, but... Oh,

they did trade for Carly.

Okay.

That just happened.

That just happened yesterday.

That's right.

They also traded a

first-round pick for her in

a good draft class.

So that's interesting.

That is interesting.

Interesting.

Also,

I would love to see Matty Westville

make the team.

I don't know if it's going to happen,

but I'd like to see it.

We'll see.

I like that.

I saw that today.

I did not see that today.

That's about it.

I don't think nobody really heard.

It's definitely Minnesota.

Yeah, I agree.

Minnesota and Phoenix.

Yeah, y'all lost.

Y'all definitely lost, for sure.

Yeah.

I don't think it really hurts Phoenix.

I mean, see me,

I don't think it really

hurts Minnesota compared to, like,

other teams, though, like,

if they didn't draft properly.

I mean,

Minnesota is in championship contention,

so, you know,

I don't think there's really

the draft to really worry about.

I mean,

it would have been great if they

got some picks, or some really good picks,

but I'm not really too

worried about them.

I mean, but the thing is,

they didn't really get better at all.

They got a running back.

They said, look, we came short last year.

And the finals run back with

the same team.

So we'll see how it works.

But a lot of the other teams got better.

Like the Fever got better.

The Wings got better.

I guess they confident in their team.

Fever going to be top three, boy.

For sure.

As long as they stay healthy,

they going to be just fine.

Frank that's twenty-two said

next year's free agency is

going to be the YY West.

And that's for sure.

Especially after they figure

out what's going on with the CBA.

No lockout.

No lockout.

Christopher, we got you.

The fever is going to win this year.

We can read it, brother.

We can read it.

We saw it.

Don't buy these rookie jerseys.

Nah, I don't do that shit.

It got to take a minute for

me to buy a jersey.

He said, with what?

Look,

you got to let people believe what

they want to believe.

Oh, Lord.

Yeah.

Listen, the fever on paper,

the fever look good.

I don't want to put too much into it.

But I got them finishing top four.

I've been saying it.

So I said they would win twenty last year.

I said they're going to be

twenty and twenty and people laughed.

They did laugh at you.

People were laughing me out, actually.

But if they can stay healthy,

if they can't stay healthy, then no, sir.

But if they can stay healthy,

I got to finish in top four.

I want to say top three,

but I want to be respectful,

so I'm going to say top four.

If we say top three,

who are we disregarding?

Ooh, we are disregarding somebody.

Top four, top four.

Yeah, you're right.

We ain't going to want to do that.

Anything else about this draft?

Nah.

So we will say that we

already know that the

Valkyries will be getting

Lauren Betts next year.

Yeah.

I can see that.

Yeah, they're not doing nothing.

That's why I really want to dominate.

Is she consistent in her

overall pick going into next season?

I would think so.

Lauren Betts has got to be number one.

She's got to be number one.

She definitely should.

Unless she dropping Vegas.

Who top three?

So you dropping Vegas?

No, no, no.

We ain't dropping nobody.

Y'all talking about me?

I think they're talking

about the rankings.

I think they're talking

about when Lowe said they'd

be top four or top five.

Yeah, you got Vegas, Minnesota.

I said I think they're top four.

I want to say top three,

but I don't want to be disrespectful.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So Minnesota, Vegas, New York,

and then the Beaver, right?

That sounds...

How it could play out.

I mean,

Dallas is going to be – I'm not

saying Dallas, bro.

Dallas could be top five, definitely.

Yeah.

On paper.

You got to see how it look, but on paper.

Hey, if y'all want to go to games,

I'm going to tell you right now.

aces didn't have a bench for

the last three years and

they won two yeah yeah

don't worry yeah yeah uh

get you find your team's uh

package deals like multiple

games because these tickets

gonna be our rate is

already for like dallas

versus indiana them tickets

like twelve hundred dollars

man so it's just and it's

just april training

campaign even started yet

training camp in two weeks

And tickets are already going crazy.

So just so y'all know, man,

I know y'all want to go to these games.

They might not win a game until mid-July.

Yo,

we should have a little ticker on that.

We should have a win watch for them.

When are they going to get

their first win?

I got to look at their schedule.

When are y'all going to get

y'all first win, man?

I was going to say against the Mystics,

but now the Mystics are

going to be better than them.

Their first team all-stars is crazy.

They've been crazy with that.

The first team was nuts.

That was good.

Oh, yeah, they playing the preseason game.

Pull it up, Wally.

Pull up what?

Oh, the schedule?

Find that schedule.

We're going to move on.

Find that schedule.

We're going to see.

We're going to talk about some of this.

Go ahead.

We're going to talk about this schedule.

portal oh he found it god

damn okay uh play it around

damn I can't I can't see it

I ain't gonna you gotta

zoom that shit up or

something buddy can you

zoom it would you like what

you can oh there we go

I see.

Who was that the first game?

The Sparks it looked like?

Sparks, Mystics, Sparks, New York,

New York, Minnesota, Phoenix.

They are getting cooked, bro.

I'm the best.

Sparks, Seattle, Dallas, Indiana,

Connecticut, New York, Chicago, Seattle.

Hey, man.

And that's just June.

That's just June and May.

Nick said zoom in.

Why didn't you just pick on me?

I couldn't see.

What the fuck, man?

You know they both wear glasses.

That's why I was quiet.

I can see.

Man, that shit.

Couldn't see that shit for nothing.

And the crazy is I don't

even need to wear glasses all the time.

I just do it.

Because I got to wear them on screens,

but I got to use them on the screen,

but I'm always looking at the screen.

So you just work all the time?

Yep.

I got the phone.

I look at the TV.

I look at the computer.

So I was just like, fuck it.

After a while, I want to get...

Yeah, they're prescription.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like,

I got it because I was always looking

at a screen and I started

getting migraines and shit like that.

So, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But, damn,

she always going to call me out

like that.

I got to be the old man.

But, yeah, that was just off to June.

I wasn't even into July yet

reading the schedule.

They not.

You definitely don't have to

keep a ticker on them

because it don't look like

they're going to get a win in sight.

There's no win in sight.

Even with the Mystics.

I don't think they're going

to beat the Mystics.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

I don't know.

Watch the fuck around.

Watch the fuck around.

Come on, man.

That's a crazy ass start to the schedule.

How many games do you think

they're going to win this

year if you just had to

throw a number out there?

How many games is it now?

Forty-four, right?

Six games.

Valkyries in five.

Damn.

I bet they're going to get six wins.

But twenty-six.

Six and ten.

Something like that.

Three.

Damn, kid.

I was definitely talking

about them last night.

K-Dot.

But them international girls are good.

I watched them take.

I wasn't familiar with their game,

but I went back and watched them take.

Yeah, they are good.

They definitely are.

They are a sight to see.

Statistically,

there's no way they lose them all, right?

They can't lose them all, y'all.

No, you got to come on.

I would say between seven and ten.

This is going to be fun to watch.

This is going to be fun to

track this shit.

This is going to be fun for sure.

All right, let's go to,

let's finish off with this portal shit.

Well, we got, yeah,

a little bit more stuff,

but we got portal.

Ain't too much, that much news.

Malaysia,

if you've been looking under the rock,

she's in the transfer portal.

It's been a lot of damn

think pieces of why she's there,

why she shit, you know, so,

but I'm going to start with Julo.

yeah I mean I think

initially it was shocking

news but was it really

because people have been

calling for you know lay to

transfer for the last two years um

as I always say I think that

I'm in support always of

what these women want to do

with their life because at

the end of the day is their

life so she thinks leaving

south carolina is the best

decision for her and her

family sister fully

supportive do you happy for

you but my thing is I think

that the outside noise got

to her because it's no way

that you are coming off the bench

So coming off the bench got

you to a national

championship game twice in

the two years that you've

been in college.

Coming off the bench helped

you get signed to Under

Armour and Steph Curry,

which led to you designing

your own shoe that you wore in the game.

Coming off the bench allowed

you to be a national

champion in your first year

as a freshman.

And coming off the bench

allows you to get the most shots up.

on your team.

So to me, sister,

it seems like a hell of a deal.

You're playing for a legendary coach.

You're winning.

You're literally only

averaging five less minutes

than the starting shooting guard.

Next year, I get it.

She believes, hey, Tanaya is coming in.

My minutes are probably

going to be more decreased

than I want them to be.

But I think that a lot of these players,

they often think about, I want to start.

I want to start.

I want to get these minutes.

I want to get these minutes.

But

When you go to a school like

South Carolina with a coach like Dawn,

she's preparing you for the WNBA.

So, yes,

you might not get all the minutes.

Right.

Yes,

you might not get all the minutes that

you want to get,

but she is developing you.

And so the part that pisses

me off is people say we

want these players to be coached,

but then when Dawn coaches these players,

people complain about it.

So you got to pick a struggle,

pick a side.

Like, which one is it?

Yeah,

she benched her when she was number one.

I don't like when people say, oh,

she had her in a short

leash because I don't like

to compare women to animals.

Like,

that's just weird to me a little bit.

But I get the same.

Like, they were like, oh,

when she makes a mistake,

they just pull her automatically,

which is false.

That's not true.

Like, Dawn lets her play.

She makes mistakes back to back to back.

And then she's pulling her

ass like she should.

So for people that just want

to see Malaysia do

highlights for their enjoyment,

now you have your wish.

Your wish has come true.

But in regards to her game developing,

I don't think it's a better

coach than Dawn Staley in

the country to develop her as a guard,

period.

Like,

I think that there's holes in her game.

She is a superb and

excellent offensive player.

But baby,

she has holes in her game on defense.

Help side defense lay is

always out of position all the time.

Completely just does not

know that if you are,

if the ball is here and

you're two people away, hello,

you are in health.

We learned this in

elementary school when you're hooping,

like out there floating, looking around,

like just not knowing where to be.

That is problematic.

And it'll kill you in the WNBA.

Like you will get scored on

all the time in the WNBA.

That's number one.

Number two, basketball IQ.

Like, and I get it.

You're only a sophomore,

so it will increase as she

continues to grow.

But basketball IQ is huge for her.

She just makes very bad

decisions with the basketball.

It's one speed.

It's just fast.

It's just out of control.

And yes, we do see highlight, you know,

highlight plays from it

because she is a excellent player.

excellent score.

She's great with the basketball.

She's, she's shifty.

She knows how to use her body.

She can finish through contact.

Like she is great on offense,

but it's two sides to a ball.

And that's what I want

people to understand.

I think with this new

generation of young kids

with these casuals,

Everyone just wants to see people score.

And that's why people love

Kaitlyn Clark so much.

They don't give a shit about

Kaitlyn and I playing defense.

They just want to see her

shoot logo threes.

That's not basketball, bro.

Like,

I like the game of basketball where

you're playing both sides of the floor,

where you actually have to

have good basketball IQ.

And Dawn is a coach that

could have helped her

achieve these things.

You know, it's a such thing as, you know,

patience, right?

Your turn is coming.

It's your time to shine.

And I think that I don't

love the decision for her to leave,

but I respect the decision

for her to leave.

My only wish for her is that

she goes to a school where

the coaches are not just

going to utilize her solely for scoring,

but they also help her...

you know better her game

they help her develop

mentally like I hope it's a

mutual beneficial

relationship and not just

hey lay I know you really

want to start go ahead you

got a green light shoot

lights out we already know

she can average twenty

twenty five points when

given the when given the

minutes right but it's like

what you do like we know you can score

What else do you want to improve on?

So where she goes,

where she decides to go is

going to tell me a lot

about if she's serious or

not about her game or if

she just want to go out

there and get buckets and

average the most points in the country.

I'm with you on that.

And one thing before I shoot

it over to you, Nick,

is that one thing I said,

and some people didn't laugh at it,

but you got to be careful

wanting to go be the guy

when you're not ready.

Because when you go on the

scouting report and you go

from number two,

three on the report to number one,

that shit is different.

They're starting the night

off to stop you.

Now you have to find a way

to get your shit off.

When you're number two or

number three option,

They're not – you're going

to get your shit off

because they're stopping

the other people in front of you.

So that's the one thing I'm

worried about because not

saying she can't be number one option.

Is she ready to be that

number one option right now?

And coming off last year,

I don't know if she is.

And like you said,

it's going to be the fifth.

I forgot to take the schools.

I don't even know what she

said in the schools.

Did she say in the schools?

She didn't say anything.

Sources are saying Ole Miss

and USC are in the race.

There we go.

So you go to Ole Miss.

But you're right, though, Jay.

Like, when you said that, you know,

some people aren't ready,

and is she ready to be that, you know,

number one go-to player?

I think the thing that

special number one go-to

players have is this –

Your basketball IQ.

Hers has not developed yet.

So it's hard to be a leader

when you don't understand the game.

When you don't understand,

if my man is standing this way,

I have a counter move.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, if this person is defending here,

I'm going to go help side.

Like, she doesn't understand that yet.

Hopefully, you know,

before next year it takes another step.

And people are saying if she

gets a little bit more PT,

maybe she will.

I don't necessarily agree with that,

but we'll see.

I wish her the best, though.

Yeah.

You right,

because you're going to start

getting double teams.

Are you cooking?

You're getting double teams.

Look at Kaitlyn from her college juju.

Look at the juju.

They had three people on her.

You know what I'm saying?

So it's just – you're going

to get – you got to know

how to – you got to know

where the double team is

coming from to pass it out.

You get to reset, get the ball back.

You got to figure all that

shit out when you're not

the number two or number three option.

So you're just going to – I

just want her to develop.

I don't want her to go

somewhere just to get her shots up.

And also,

what the hell does the do not

contact mean?

Like –

Schools can't contact you

and try to recruit you.

It means basically she's

going to contact the people

that she's interested in or

the people already know.

Yeah, okay.

That's what I thought it meant.

Okay, now I got to.

I didn't want to be talking

about somebody.

Oh, when I said USC, I meant Southern Cal.

But it's a possibility.

Maybe she leaves this year and goes back.

Who knows?

Anything possible.

Because sometimes people

need to realize the grass

ain't always greener.

It's not.

Okay.

How do you think she will

look going to an Ole Miss team, Nick?

I don't know.

I'll be honest.

I really don't see anywhere

else that really fits for her.

I mean, Coach Yo is cool.

Don't get me wrong.

But I just can't really

picture her going anywhere, honestly.

If you ask me,

I think in the end she's going to stay.

That's just my two cents.

Because I really feel like

there's no better fit for her, like,

It's like everything that Lowe was saying.

Like, she could go any school.

She could go to USC.

She could go Ole Miss.

She could go even TCU, per se.

She could go there,

get the numbers that she wants,

but it's not going to be the same impact,

honestly, in my opinion,

as being at South Carolina.

And I get it.

Maybe she is looking for a bigger role.

Maybe she is tired of going off the bench.

And I saw a lot of people

pretty much blaming the

whole Tenaya signing as a reason.

Now, I look at it like this.

Like,

your starting two guard over the past

few years was Tahina Papau.

Now you're bringing in Tanaya Ladson.

Those are two totally different players.

Tanaya is definitely more

dynamic than Tahina Pow Pow,

respectfully.

But even then, though,

I still felt like that

wasn't going to minimize

Malaysia as a player.

I feel like Dawn was still

going to find a way to get

Malaysia going just because

she understands the

talented player that she is, honestly.

So I don't necessarily blame Tanaya.

Maybe Tanaya's side did play

a factor in Leigh wanting

to enter the portal,

but I just don't feel like

Tanaya being there is

necessarily going to stop

Leigh from really making an impact

on South Carolina.

We felt like she was going

to start because without Tanaya, well,

we know Tanaya is going to start now,

but Leigh felt like before

Tanaya got there, she was going to start.

So that's a huge thing.

Because she wants to start.

And again, like I said last week,

I always was told that it's

not who starts,

it's who finishes the game.

It's about who finishes.

And you already know Leigh

going to be in them closing lineups.

But you know, when you're young,

you're not thinking of that.

That's true.

That's definitely true.

Go ahead.

No, I mean, I was going to say, I mean,

I agree with everything Lowe said,

honestly.

I mean,

I've already tweeted out before a

couple of days ago when the

news came out that there's

no better coach for her

than Don Staley is like Lowe said.

I mean,

Don's going to prepare you for the

next level.

I know that.

I know that people like to

critique Don because they

say Don doesn't produce

great guards and all that.

Like, let me tell you this, man.

Like Zach Cook, Tiffany Mitchell,

Destiny Henderson, Alicia Gray,

Raven Johnson.

What do they all have in common?

They all became national champions.

And a lot of them still have

a pretty good career, honestly.

I mean, Zaya,

you see Zaya still in the W.

Alicia Gray's having a

really good career right now in Atlanta.

Tiffany's now with the Aces.

But even then,

she made a big impact with

the Indiana Fever and

Minnesota Lynx and even with Connecticut,

honestly.

So just because they didn't

become like superstar caliber players,

it doesn't mean that

they're not great players.

It doesn't mean that they

can't have a productive career.

And I think Leigh can benefit off of that,

especially playing with Dawn Staley,

which, I mean, we have seen her grow.

I mean,

even though she still has some

maturity in her game that needs to grow,

I feel like she can get

better as a decision maker.

She can definitely get better on defense.

And the defense thing

honestly comes from Everett

because Leigh can be a

really great defender.

It's just that she's not.

Was that?

I said on ball.

She's a good on ball defender.

But even like when she's playing help side,

like that's effort, though.

And that's her having to be

more engaged on the end of the floor,

honestly, being able to help your team.

but I'll be real.

As far as another fit for Leigh,

I just don't see it.

Like I said,

she can go to any other school

and average the numbers.

Hell,

she could even leave the country of

scoring and go into another school,

but who's going to really

even care about that?

Hell, people were still critiquing Taniya.

Taniya led the country of

scoring this past year,

but a lot of people didn't

give a shit because Florida

State was not in contention

to win a national title.

Let's talk about it honestly.

Do you want to continue to

add to your legacy,

add to your resume as far as winning,

because even when you look at her class,

you have Malaysia Fawali, Juju, Hannah,

Madison Brooke, all that.

Juju, Hannah,

Madison are trying to go

after what you have already,

which is a national title.

And you right now are in the

best position.

Exactly.

You look at your first two years,

you won the championship your first year,

and then y'all ended up

losing this past year,

but you still got to the

national championship twice, so

You're in the best position

out of everybody in your

class to win a national championship.

So if you ask me, I think Leisha stay.

I think she's going to stay.

But if she does leave,

I just hope that it's the right school,

honestly.

And the thing about Don,

when people are saying Don

doesn't develop guards,

what coach is developing guards?

Like, please let me know, please.

Whitcoach,

that's going to be my rebuttal

from now on.

Whitcoach is developing guards.

Outside of Notre Dame being guard U,

which was a combination of

Muffet and Neal, like,

we can even go back to, what, Rutgers,

CVS.

She had a lot of guards.

They had, what, Erica Wheeler.

They had Cappy Pondexter.

They had Mati Ajavan.

They had Bet Nija.

Like, they have a lot of guards.

But outside of those two schools,

who are really developing?

Like, you can throw UConn in there.

But outside of those three major schools,

what other coaches are

truly developing guards?

This is true.

This is true.

This is true.

So people just like to shit on Don.

Just say y'all don't like her.

That's cool.

Just say it.

Anything else on the portal

before we get up out of here?

One more thing and we'll get

up out of here.

Just real quick,

I was a big fan of the Cody

McMahon signing at Ole Miss.

I think she's going to make a big impact.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Y'all got to give credit to Coach Yo, man.

She's been up and active.

up and active man like just

trying to just trying to

put her team in a much

better position like any

coach should honestly man

so shout out to her for

being able to do her thing

like I said Cody McMahon is

a big pickup and Ole Miss

she needs a coach like that

yeah she does she

definitely does I think her

time at Ohio State was

definitely definitely done

and I'm glad that she's now

in a new program honestly

where I think she could

thrive in yeah I'm with you

on that anything else

No.

On the portal?

All right.

Before we get up out of here, man,

we're going to talk about

the WNBA real quick.

The schedule came out for Rivals Week.

And this is one thing I

don't like that all leagues

are starting to do.

They're trying to make up rivals.

That shit just don't be the

same when you make them up.

You know what I'm saying?

Like,

it just don't have that same feeling.

Like, these teams don't hate.

I get the Sky versus Fever.

I understand.

Man, who are the Dockery's rivals?

They didn't even play the game yet.

Right.

Like,

I understand New York versus the Aces,

shit like that.

You got the dream versus Golden State.

For what?

You know what I'm saying?

Hold on real quick.

I just want to go back to a

comment real quick.

I wouldn't say the Rutgers

developed guards during those times.

They never made a Sweet Sixteen.

All those guards I named are

elite guards in the WNBA.

So that's what I mean by

developing guards.

Like,

you're developing guards in college

to prepare them for the WNBA.

I just wanted to make that clear.

But, yeah, pull it back up, Wally.

What?

I wanted to make it clear.

No, yeah, hold on, hold on.

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't, like,

not explaining it correctly.

No, I got you.

But, man, I understand this.

Rivals weak.

But, man, this is forcing it.

There's no real rivalries, man.

Yeah, after Fever Sky, Aces and Liberty...

What else is there?

The fever in the sky is low-key force.

That's force, too.

It's not a rivalry at all, bro.

Just call it what it is.

You make a lot of money from

the race wars.

Just call it what it is.

It's not a rivalry.

It's race wars.

Exactly.

I like this.

I understand when leagues do it, but

Rivalries are better when it's like, man,

it's really some real tension here.

It's a real – like,

we really don't like – like,

we going back and forth.

Like, we just forcing it on us.

So, I mean, that's my two cents on that.

I just don't – I don't get it.

We're going to see the fever in the sky.

They're going to have their

own playoff series throughout the season.

They're going to play a thousand times.

So, it's like,

this don't like – this don't even matter.

You know what I'm saying?

But if they really wanted to do a rivalry,

they should have had the

Aces versus Seattle.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Why the fuck did they not

think about that?

Are you kidding me right now?

Oh, my God.

You got to be kidding me.

Oh, my God.

How you fumble that?

Bro, WBA,

y'all need to get me on the payroll,

I'm trying to tell you.

Lo, you are right.

They got Seattle playing the dream,

and that's it.

It should have been Seattle.

Or Sparks versus Vegas.

Like, Sparks, come on.

You got KP going against our old team.

Like, what are we?

But, man, Aces versus Seattle is the one.

Hold on.

They should have said pray for me, y'all.

Ain't nothing wrong.

I just want KB off my team.

Hey, do the Aces even have a GM yet?

Might be stuck with that sister.

Do the Aces got a GM yet?

Didn't they sign somebody?

Or I don't remember, actually.

those guards were

all-Americans in high

school were speaking about development.

Just because you're

all-American in high school

don't mean you don't get

development in college.

Exactly,

because that means all the guards

that's ever been

all-Americans would have

made it to the WNBA and

would be all-stars.

What are we talking about, y'all?

I'm really trying to be polite tonight.

What are we talking about, y'all?

What are we talking about, y'all?

I thought that was real.

I thought that was obvious.

Like,

Every All-American is not, you know,

going to be that.

You know what I'm saying?

Come on, man.

We're not going to go there.

But Dan, the Aces don't have a GM yet.

No, they don't.

Oh, my God.

They can't be two weeks.

Be polite.

I am.

I'm being polite, buddy.

Hey, Shell,

you should go ahead and be the GM.

Real quick, all the Aces fans,

were y'all mad that Harmony

didn't pick up the phone?

Because Jada was on her ass

and other Aces fans on the timeline.

She responded, though.

She said her phone was glitching.

Like,

I guess so many people were calling her.

Yeah, she did say that.

She did say that.

People were so mad, though.

But Harmony, look.

Harmony, they might... I got you, sis.

Felicia.

But Harmony might take KB's spot.

They might kick her out.

I mean, like, you know, she might not...

Man,

KB on TikTok more than she is in the gym.

I know y'all sick of seeing sister.

I know y'all sick of seeing her.

I'm going to piss off some

Aces fans saying this,

but now with Cheyenne Parker pregnant,

they got to stay with Kia

Stokes at the start of Sunday.

I'm sorry.

Hey, man.

It sucks, but hey.

Is this the last year of KB's contract?

Oh, my God.

For they sake, I hope so.

Hey, listen, Kia been in the gym.

Y'all better start playing with her.

Big Kia, not the little.

Big Kia, not the little.

Try the Kia, man.

I'll take Kia before I take KB.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Y'all both in.

Look, KB has been unlimited,

and she ain't got better.

The crazy part is KB was

good at Florida Golf Cubs.

I'm just like, what?

She was good in her early career, too.

I don't know what happened.

Kia was coming off foot.

So, yeah.

So, you know how that goes.

So,

when you get a year where you ain't got

to try to, like, rehab.

Bro, Kia wasn't even rebounding last year.

Like, she wasn't even rebounding.

Like,

at least the year before when they

won a championship, Kia was, like,

actually rebounding the ball.

So, I think she'll be better this year.

um she's been in the league

for how long at least six

years she's been in the

league for a minute we're

giving her a chance I don't

mind here I just think that

she got to be able to put

make a layup like maybe eat

chipotle on tiktok more

than facts listen she

always why is she even

eating chipotle during

season like what that's not

good just shitting

everywhere on myself like

come on get a nutritionist sister

Well,

anything else when we get about here?

Y'all got anything?

I'm trying to think.

No.

Oh, yeah, I do want to say this.

I do want to say Lakers in five.

Y'all better not let us go

to the Western Conference

finals because I'm talking my big shit,

and that's all I got with that.

I think y'all can do it.

What's their path?

I know they play Minnesota.

Who would they play after this?

Don't matter.

Lakers in five.

Don't matter.

Let's pull it up real quick.

That's a good question.

I don't know they passed.

I didn't look at that.

I also think that who's playing Denver?

I think the Clippers are playing Denver.

I think the Clippers are

going to be Denver as well.

I'm with y'all on that.

I like that.

They playing Houston?

Oh, yeah.

We're going through them.

I ain't going to lie.

She ain't safe either.

Okay, see, they put no fear in my life.

They literally,

we cooked them not the last time,

but the time before that.

We literally beat the shit out of them.

And then the last game,

we got- Y'all would have won that game.

They didn't kick out Luka.

And we didn't even have Rui.

So them little guys don't

put no fear in my heart.

Lakers in five.

Once y'all get past the lake

of Timberwolves,

you're going to play the

Rockets between the Rockets, Grizzlies,

or Warriors.

I saw a lot of people saying

the Wolves in five.

Man, the Wolves talking crazy on Twitter,

boy.

Bro, listen.

I've just been bookmarking.

The Wolves been talking crazy.

They talking crazy.

Man,

they finna put big-ass Rudy in that

damn pick-and-roll action.

They gonna have to sit his ass down.

Come on, man.

We need that back Vegas all day.

Oh,

he talking about... He talking about...

Man, I ain't gonna lie.

If Luka wins a chip this year,

Nico... I know, I know, I know.

Y'all funny as hell.

That shit would never not be funny to me,

dog.

That shit would never not be... Oh,

my God.

I'm not going back to that.

I'm not going back to that.

Take that shit down.

I'm not going back to that.

We're not doing that.

I don't know.

Anything else y'all want to

say before we get up out of here?

Lakers in five?

Anything else?

I'm actually in Lakers in six.

I'll be respectful.

Lakers in six.

Shout out to Diamond Johnson.

Shout out to Diamond.

I'm going to hit her up to

see if she's going to come on the pod.

She came on the night before.

Lakers in five is insane.

What if it happens, though?

What if it happens?

Hey, man, y'all.

Hang on.

Real quick.

Real quick.

I forgot.

This is a portal news.

I forgot.

Mimi Wheeler went to West Virginia.

What y'all think about that?

I like it.

Yeah.

I like it, too.

West Virginia was a scrappy

team last year.

Yeah, they always, yeah.

They play hard.

I like it.

They play real hard.

And we see that.

And, you know,

Mimi's trying to make it to

the W. So we see that if you said HBCU,

they not picking you.

Yeah.

Disgusting.

It's so disgusting.

So disgusting.

Like, how you go from a top ten pick,

and then the next year,

you don't even get your name called.

All because...

You went there.

If it happened, Laker fans better run.

Hey, listen.

You talking about if Minnesota beat them?

I don't think so.

Bro, we're not a team with Bron, Luka,

and now ARs and his Birkin.

We're not getting beat in five now.

Even if we were to get beat,

which we won't.

It won't be five.

Believe that.

Minnesota not beating the Lakers.

It's going to be hard to

beat these dudes in a series, dog.

Lamar, put somebody where your mouth is.

I put a hundred dollars on it.

Oh, shit.

They're not losing in five.

Oh, shit.

Put your money up.

They sure coming for you, though.

There she is.

Y'all is good.

Oh, my God.

Oh, you said seven.

I thought you said five.

I'm like, all right, brother.

Yeah, look, you switching up.

Come on now.

Joe Donut is nuts, bro.

I love him.

That is insane.

Oh, man.

I appreciate y'all, man.

Do y'all leave YouTube comments?

I saw they was mad at Jay about his YN.

What do you think about YN?

They was mad.

They was mad at you?

They told me we are too sensitive now.

That man said YN on Walt Disney Network,

bro.

No,

it's YN, they can say it.

No, to me, that's still saying it.

Don't do it.

Don't use it.

Yeah, like, don't do that shit.

People on First Cake,
