  • talking about the All Star Game last night.

  • Team LeBron one.

  • Pick one.

  • Throw the other one out the garbage.

  • Because this was my biggest takeaway last night, Steph or Dame.

  • Who are you taking?

  • Pick one.

  • Throw the other one out to the garbage.

  • Steph or Dame Zubin.

  • Steph, I gotta go.

  • Step.

  • Really, really 100%.

  • What?

  • You know, we always know your kick out.

  • The Lakers kick out the Lakers.

  • Let's say they're both the same age.

  • Pick one, throw the other one out to the garbage.

  • You gotta pick one step for Damon.

  • Uh, I feel like Dane.

  • I feel like Dane just could not even last night, just in general, watching him, I just feel like he could do a little bit more to get everybody else kind of involved to a degree.

  • And he could put it on his back and carry it Pretty far.

  • I was yet to see I've yet to see Steph carried by himself, and it's not.

  • It's not a slight he's done in a couple of times this year, but not at the same volume.

  • Like damn right.

  • Not just this year.

  • I'm just talking about even in the championship runs.

  • He had other people around him.

  • Dame pretty much has CJ and that's really yeah, and he took them to the finals even though they didn't win it because they went up against Golden State.

  • But you see what I'm saying.

  • It's a hard It's one of those one, a one b s.

  • Damn if I do, damned if I don't type situations.

  • Well, first off, I was like the fact that these two are in the same damn team like that's a problem last night because I mean, stuff came out really quickly and let you know you forgot about me.

  • You forgot about Chef Curry and started lighting people up.

  • And then damn obviously closed out the game with a three from half court.

  • But he is the fact that both these cats here's some for people to recognize, like real shooters when the ball goes in.

  • I was always talk to you.

  • Look at the back of the rim, right, the center of the back of the room because I want the ball to go hit the back of the room and go straight down sometimes, like the way I would shoot when you get like 500 shots of the day.

  • I don't want the net to move right.

  • It's just hot down sweet right into it.

  • How pure these guys are.

  • The ball didn't touch the rim.

  • So many.

  • You just see the net just pops like the ball hits the net at the bottom of the network.

  • And that just kind of pops back up into the rim like those are the signs that I'm talking about.

  • Shot from half court, man.

  • They're making a net pop from half court like you don't see people shoot that way.

  • Normally it's These are two of the greatest shooters the game has seen, and it was special watching it last.

  • You know it it, and I don't know if it's you play basketball, but I always asked, Remember, I asked you.

  • I was like, How come in college?

  • The Paul always does this.

  • And in the pros, when you get like, you talk about the rotation of the ball, how when it rotates, it snaps because of the trajectory, its trajectory, the ark and where it goes down in to the hoop, where in college it just rattles around the rim when they shooting Jay's.

  • It never never has that.

  • It's almost like when Reggie used to shoot and he was pure right.

  • I mean, he was ridiculous.

  • But his boss never snapped away.

  • Dames or clays, or or staff does.

  • And I don't know if it's just the way that they're spinning the ball when it comes off their wrist or what it is, but and certainly when it leaves their hands ain't no question, you know, it's going in three point contest that I was talking to you a minute ago about Tatum when he was leaving his hands like, Oh, yeah, he get ready, Miss that one.

  • I mean half the time.

  • Once, once the ball leaves his hand, he doesn't even look at the ball like they always teach you.

  • Like when you shoot, stare your target.

  • Don't take your eyes off your target step is literally shooting the ball, and it's like a slingshot.

  • It just goes like that and he turns around and looks the other way.

  • It's that was my biggest takeaway and also last night that LeBron James is the GM.

  • Over the past four years, he's been the GM of the entire MBA team.

  • LeBron in 2018.

  • Wanted Team LeBron 2019.

  • Wanted team LeBron in 2021.

  • It the Lakers in 2020.

  • LeBron was a German team.

  • Sorry, Rob Pelinka wanted 2021 team.

  • LeBron wanted again like Okay, LeBron, you're gonna have your own team one day.

  • I already see it.

  • It's going to happen.

  • He's going to own an NBA franchise.

  • Mark it down.

  • I'm not doubting that, although KG didn't get an opportunity.

  • Well, that's it.

  • Minnesota.

  • So here's my two cents on Curry and then we'll get into the two cents for the most important guy of all, Adam Silver on why this all went down.

  • They've been playing the NBA All Star Game now for 70 years, and Yang has had a performance we've never seen for seven decades, as the Fellas had mentioned, going 16 for 16, adding an All Star Game MVP to his two regular season MVPs.

  • I think for guys that we love in sports, past performance is never an indicator of future success.

  • You know that being an investor right past performance is never an indicator of future success.

  • But for all the guys we love like, for example, LeBron.

  • We take his past performance and say, future success is there.

  • I think Curry has had all the past performance you could possibly want.

  • Yet we're still not quite sure if we stack them up with a tremendous player in game that you have to think twice before taking steps.

  • This is no indictment on game.

  • You have to think twice before taking step, even though he's done everything everybody else would be lauded for.

  • I mean, they both just There's no wrong answer.

  • Like you said, It's like, What do I do?

  • If he's gone, then I'm happy with the other guys.

  • The other guy's going and I'm happy with this guy.

  • Either way, I'm sitting pretty because I got the second pick.

  • You know, what style do you like?

  • Because Steph brings like that more jovial, like having fun style.

  • Where Dame is, he's, he's hitting on the risk.

  • You know it's the same time, right?

  • Like it's different styles and approaches.

  • Well, I think you know both styles is good to me.

  • It's just the dame carries a little bit of an edge.

  • He's a little bit more of a dog, but step is a dog to just in a different way.

  • Now.

  • We just got that East Oakland edge to him.

  • You know what I'm saying?

  • He's he got that.

  • I'm from the streets and this is how I roll.

  • That's just how he is.
