DeShaun Watson doesn't want to be in Houston.

James Harden turned down a two year extension, $50 million a year to be in Houston.

Victor Oladipo last night turned down a short term extension.

Granted, probably wants a more long term contract, and I also have to say this damn, that was an embarrassing game last night Key.

They played the Memphis Grizzlies, the Grizzlies 133 to 84.

Guess how much?

Memphis's bench score key.

How much?

85 points.

Memphis bench outscored, uh, that that that's It's outscored Houston.

That's bothersome for Houston.

Just in general.

It's really a shame what's happening in Houston right now, all the way around.

A total rebuild, right?

I mean, that's just what it is.

They completely blew the thing up between basketball and football, which is our show, which is what we covered.

I'm just trying to find something positive.

They still got the cheating Astros.

Jeez, I didn't have a garbage can had to go to the mike real quick.

Number three at three.

Julius Randle is Chris Bosh in Toronto.

Actually, Julius Randle, the season is having right now is better than any season that Chris Bosh's hat Now I know people were saying, Hey, J well, you're crazy.

Brendan Tannery, actually in our own show was able to break this down.

Chris Bosh.

I know he's 11 time All Star multiple NBA champion.

I'm not talking about actually accolades, but the season is having right now.

24 points, 11 rebounds, six assists per game is better than any individual season that Chris bosses had even when he was with Toronto.

Why they're comparing.

Why are they bringing Chris Bosh into Julius Randle?

Because, hey, they're both lefties.

James are similar.

They both kind of play the same similar position, but what Julius Randle is doing right now no disrespect to C B C B one all time legends obviously play with LeBron James D Wade won championships.

But what Julius Randle is doing right now is special.

Different body types.

One dude is super long.

The other dude is kind of, you know, come got a little box.

Yeah, Julius Randle, more of a banker to but can knock down the three.

Time to get a little serious here at two.

LeBron does Latin quote Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the international soccer superstar.

Quote.

I would never shut up about things that are wrong before J Ways in Here is LeBron James over the weekend.

If I could say this colloquially, I guess the bottom line is Latin was the latest guy to tell LeBron.

Right now it might be better to shut up and dribble, and LeBron told him to shut up.

There's no way I will ever just stick to sports because I understand how you know how this platform, how powerful my voices.

And he can just ask Renee Montgomery, you know, if I would have shut up and just dribbled, Um, seeing that beautiful black woman today, um, you know, be a part of a group part of ownership group now with Atlanta.

Dream down in Atlanta.

And, uh, it's funny you say that because I believe in, like, 2018.

He was the same guy who said when he was back in Sweden talking about the same things because his last name wasn't a certain last name, that he felt like it was some racism going on when he was out on the pitch.

Right?

He did say that, right?

Yeah, I thought he was.

I thought he said that.

So I speak from a very educated mind.

Um, so I'm kind of the wrong guy to actually go out because I do my homework.

Look, you may not like it.

You may disagree.

You may have a differing, differing opinion politically, but every player has the right to speak of.

His mind was locked on, if that's how you feel, okay?

But I'm always going to respect a guy like LeBron or a guy like Keyshawn or a guy like myself that decides to utilize their platform to speak out for millions of people that don't get a chance to be heard.

Now, some of the interesting tweets I've gotten and GMs I've had with people can, you know, listen to this.

Well, LeBron's part of the black elite in L.

A.

He doesn't He doesn't connect anymore with the people who, actually, you know, pushing for things like black lives.

Matter are involved in the streets.

Well, LeBron James also spent 17 18 years of his life coming from that background.

I think he has the right to speak out for a lot of people that come from that background and I don't even know why we got to this place where all of a sudden I'm gonna tell you.

Don't do this right now.

Stick to your sport.

Dams Latin.

Like I liked you.

I still respect you as a player.

I just lost a little respect for you as a person.

Now, that's how I feel.

You're entitled to feel whatever way you're entitled to feel.

When was the last time?

A lot of time in any in any black community at all at all.

Other than maybe when he played in L.

A in Carson, which is predominantly, uh, Polynesian community with a few blacks sprinkled around where?

I mean, I don't it's whatever, man.

I get tired of people trying to tell athletes that they should stay in their lane and be quiet And don't do this.

And don't do that.

From a political standpoint, he's uplifting this community.

He's doing everything he can to reach back down and help those less fortunate like was.

The town is entitled to his opinion, and I'm entitled to not like his opinion.

He's entitled to his opinion, and we are entitled to not like the last of the Hill with him.

Last thing, if you're wondering exactly what he was referencing LeBron was Ibrahimovic doesn't exactly sound like a Swedish name.

He's from Sweden.

He has a Bosnian background, which is where Ibrahimovic comes from.

But LeBron essentially saying, Hey, remember when you were talking about being harassed because of your name in your home country?

Now the shoe's on the other foot, so that's exactly what that was in regard to last time and running point like a weird PG.

Network number one.

Not not PG.

Now, Paul, George, we're going to go.

The Nets can win a title without KD.

We know we obviously is out with a hamstring right now.

It's not crazy to think about.

Let's say A D does not come back 80 doesn't come back.

I don't think the Lakers are the favorite to win it.

You might have Utah in that scenario.

You might have the Clippers, even though they look bad the night against Milwaukee.

But watching the Nets play with James Harden, who is my front runner to win M v P.

As of right now, if you ask me to pick it today with Kyrie Irving and the way they play, they are positioned to win an NBA championship.

I don't think they have three superstars.

If Katie is not available, this team still has enough.

If a D does not play if 80 plays, I'm still gonna have the Lakers as a favorite if there are full strength.

But if 80 does not play and Katie does not play, I still think the Nets can win a championship.

Speaks volumes about this team is in my eyes.

Or does James Harden just look like he's in better shape for the best shape that he's been in in such a long time?

Like he just looks quick.

He got that pop to him.

He lost about £25 like he got that pop.

I just seen him boo Boo to the cup on somebody I'm like.

Okay, all right, that's a little different.

And for all this stuff, everybody keeps talking about him and Kyrie, man, they've really meshed well together.

It's, uh, it's scary how talented they are, What?

You what you.
