We have some boogie cousins news and much more, but we start with the game that kept me up way past my bedtime.

The Wizards and Lakers went toe over time, and Bradley Beal took over Little step in the lane.

Right there, he hit a crazy reverse.

Look where you jump from Jalen, what do you think about these Wizards, all of a sudden, representing the loot to the fullest fish out to Bradley Bill, leading the league and score and doing it all facets.

You saw him do it from three.

You saw doing an amazing reverse, and the most important thing is you saw him do it in overtime.

And I appreciate his demeanor this entire season as he has navigated the team's turbulence.

And all of a sudden, now Russ has gotten back healthy because I remember watching an interview of Russ earlier in the season to Kobe, where he was talking about basically feeling like he's playing on one leg.

And so now all of a sudden, they have their dynamic backcourt in tow.

In these last five games, they have been giving teams the flux off the dribble.

Absolutely in these last five games.

They played really well in.

A lot of it has to do with that man right there.

Russell Westbrook.

You look at that.

Two of four teams Westbrook before this win streak, and now they've had five in a row with Westbrook.

It did not hurt that the Lakers could not keep them out of the paint.

They had 66 paint points.

But Jalen, there's something going on, especially with this fourth overtime game for the Lakers.

LeBron James is third in the N B A and minutes played.

Coming into this season with the short off season, I was thinking, You know what?

There would be some load management.

He was gonna take it easy, focused on a playoff run, not the case.

How much concern is that He's taking on so much load early in the season.

So much of a concern to Kobe.

I'm gonna throw a theory out there that actually may become commonplace.

You may look at the bottom of the ticker and see Whoa, tweet this.

And by the way, big shout the wold.

He gave me a terrific I'm going home present to represent my mom and Jacoby.

Don't be surprised when all of the players participated in All Star Weekend.

Don't go to the league and say, Okay, we understand we're off from the fifth to the 10th, but can we be off from the fifth through the 14, which would be the following weekend after the All Star festivities to create a longer break?

And so when you asked me about LeBron's load, he played, um, every game this season.

He only has 71 days off after the Lakers won the championship, and I know his love for the game and his consistency throughout his career has been outstanding, and I'm now glad he also has embraced this role of not being a fan of low management.

And in doing that, I know personally, he wants to send a message to the media and to the fans, to the other people in the league and as a parent, probably to his kids, that he shows up every day for work and he doesn't take days off and in doing that he's gonna wear himself down.

LeBron James look tired on that basketball game when you shoot the basketball and he hit the side of the rim and go out of bounds.

He did that on the left side of the rim.

He did on the right side of the rim.

That's fatigue.

That's exactly what that ISS and how Chimura did a really good job defense in them.

But again, LeBron James, we both know, will not keep up this level of minutes and still be as productive as he needs to be.

Come playoff time, they will find a way to scale it back.

The Phoenix Suns, low key No one's really noticed, have won nine of 10 games.

The latest was Dame and the Blazers.

Booker had 34 points eight and contributed what has been the key to this little street for them.

Number one key.

His money.

Williams.

See when you're trying to build through the draft and this is why Mark Jackson should be on a coaching staff, often elite team right now leading the squad.

This is why Mark Jackson should be a head coach in the league because the Golden State Warriors were built through the draft just like the Phoenix Suns.

Yeah, you at CP three.

Yeah, you add Crowder, but the core of their team Bridges, Johnson, Atan, Booker those air draft picks.

You need a coaching staff and shot to my little brother, Willie Greene, who's also on Monty's staff, doing a terrific job of developing those guys.

So now when they ball the way they did in the bubble, you can go get Chris, Paul.

And so when you make that move there now the fourth best record in the entire MBA so big shout to their entire situation.

James Jones as a general manager as well as Monty Williams and his player development and then what we're seeing out on the floor from the team.

Jalen, I have tomorrow night circled on my calendar because I'm gonna have to stay up late again.

Toe watch Lakers because they will be taking on the Jazz, The Jazz, who made light work of my the ball on the Hornets.

Jalen, what did the Jazz do last night to the Hornets?

See, this is what I'm trying to tell you guys about the Utah Jazz.

You know, the speed that the Kansas City Chiefs have when you're watching NFL football on Sundays, Well, that's how the jazz rain threes in the current landscape of the MBA, multiple players shooting over 40% and they could get hot with the best of them.

So much so, their bench alone.

Ingles.

Clarkson made 19 threes in the basketball games ago.

Wow, they made 19 threes in the basketball game.

They have a superstar and Donovan Mitchell.

That's a go to guy.

And by the way, I'm gonna point out something really funny that happened in the game because I'll be watching extremely close.

Dominique Wilkins was, Ah, hot Flyer, but he always jumped off 2 ft.

Mm.

For those who didn't know 50 inch vertical never really seen Dominique dunk off one leg.

Yesterday, I seen Donovan Mitchell dunk off one leg.

I ain't never really seen him do that.

I just had to point that out.

Because normally he goes in there.

He did something else that we need to look at, too, because you know how James Harden be doing that like, double step back three.

Watch out of imagery.

Uh, okay.

Okay.

E don't know if that's what we call that.

Crabbed wriggle, gather, step like 123 Pivot, pivot again.

You know what?

When you gotta going, that's how it looks.

And I'm glad you brought out the balance of this team because look at how many players they had in double figures last night.

Like there's so many, we could barely fit them all on the screen.

Everybody is contributing Donovan Mitchell, their leader with 23 but then you get 21 from Ingles.

You get 21 from Yang, you get 20 from Clarkson.

It's This is not one of those teams that's built on one or two pillar players scores and then a bunch of role players.
