0:06 basketball. >> The NBA season is freaking on. We're so back, boys and girl. >> Let's go. >> How do you >> that you said and girl, right? >> Yeah, >> that's why I laughed. I forgot. We're double hosting. We're [laughter] >> Which teams are you rooting for besides the Pacers? Obviously. >> Obviously the Pacers for me, but we're not really favored to win. Um, we never are. We're sneaky team. I think we're a silent >> bottom of the barrel. >> Who's your guy on the Pacers? What's his name? the main guy Taliban. >> Is he still out with an Achilles? Because last time I heard he's back. He's back. Does he is Do you think he's better from an Achilles? >> I don't think anyone gets better from an Achilles. >> Uh Black Mamba did. >> Oh, true. >> N but he has state-ofthe-art help from LA. >> Yeah. And I think I mean >> in Indiana, I don't know. >> It's regional. >> I look I feel good about it. Everyone's going to clown on me, but I really do think that we we it will go through

0:56 Indiana or the Knicks. I really believe that. East Coast. >> They'll get out of the East. >> I think so. I think so. What do you think >> for the East? >> Go ahead. >> East is weak, right? Take my heart out. >> I definitely think the West is going to win the championship this year regardless. >> Dang, dude. >> I I think it's going to unfortunately be another boring game uh or series between the Spurs and OKC. I honestly think that and but I honestly am still still a Wemby fan. And I think I think WBY, just like we made just like we made that prediction last year and it didn't work out because he got injured, I'm still willing to make those predictions again this year. >> But didn't he look like absolute dog ████ in the uh playoffs? >> It's a it's a story. It's it's it's the arc. It's the narrative. You know what I mean? Yeah. >> Got to let him cook a little bit. >> Yeah. And and how well did he actually do though? You know what I mean? Pretty solid. And then he's coming back with this whole alien line with Nike. Anybody

1:46 who starts a brand new situation with Nike, I feel like they're going to have a stellar year. >> They got something to play for. >> What team does WBY play on? >> Spurs. >> Oh, >> and the Spurs were great. The Spurs were really good last year. So, I mean, >> they got to the finals >> now. Now with more experience, now with more of a chip on your shoulder, now with more just a seasoned player, WBY, I feel like is that's me, though. That's >> Where's Lakers playing in all this? They're just out of the question. >> I don't think they're out of the question. Uh, >> I think that they're out of the conversation because they just don't they haven't meshed yet. >> Yeah. Nobody knows. It's because such a huge restructuring. It's basically it's like all white dudes now. So, what do they call them? The the >> Yeah. >> What show? Uh, the >> the Blatty Debox. >> Basically. Um, and then and then you know like same thing with Philly. Philly is such a promising prospect because like LeBron went there. >> He did Philly.

2:36 >> Yeah. LeBron went to Philly. Jaylen Brown went to Philly. It's it's a >> Jaylen Brown's in Philly. It's a crazy team, but nobody knows if they're going to play well together. So, all the all the hype is there, but it doesn't mean the chemistry will work. >> LeBron takes a helicopter to practice, by the way, cuz he's he lives in New York, but he's he's like going to Philly, does practice, flies back. >> Dude, honestly, >> that's the lady that's the Kobe thing. Live in Newport Beach, fly to Staple Center. >> Pretty cool. Well, how did that work out for Kobe? No, I'm I'm kidding. >> We're all thinking it though. >> Jesus Christ. >> There is a higher risk for helicopters, right? It's a higher risk. Let's be real. >> Just don't take them on a foggy day. That's what my dad always said. >> That's what >> It's pretty foggy in New York. [laughter] >> I will say this, it's really really nice. >> Skyscrapers >> basketball season start right after a sweep of the Dodgers. I'll say that. >> Oh, god dang. [clears throat] >> Fair. >> Absolutely sweep by the Brewers. So,

3:26 baseball season's over for Los Angeles, which means now back to the Lakers cuz nobody cares about the Clippers. I'll say that. >> But you also said Lakers is probably not going to do very well. >> No, no, we didn't say it. We We don't know. >> They're out of the conversation right now because nobody knows what they're going to do. For the whites, the white guys that we have in the Lakers, are they European whites or are they American whites? >> Well, our main guy is Luca, which is a European white >> and he's the ████ And we have Austin Reeve, which is like a good regular American white. >> American white. >> And we have Bronnie James. >> It's kind of common. >> That guy sucks ass, dude. >> Bronny James not going to Philly with his dad? >> No, >> dude. His dad did the sickest dad movie. He made the day after Bronnie got his $2 million contract. It was the day he announced he's leaving the Lakers. >> Maybe Maybe LeBron has to do that for his son, though. Oh, absolutely. It was a great dad move. Great dad. >> He's got to make him uh fight for himself. >> Baby his ass. >> Dude, if LeBron If LeBron announced 24

4:16 hours sooner that he was bouncing from LA, they would not renew Brownie's contract. >> How How What team is that uh the little Japanese guy play on? >> Is that Houston? >> Has he been crushing it? >> Doesn't he play with >> Little Japanese guy? >> Jamar. >> Yeah, >> his court IQ is sick. >> He was on a uh he's super short. He was on a Japanese Olympic team. Let me see. Yumi Yuyuki Kamawara. >> Is he on Is he on Rockets? >> He's on the uh >> Grizzlies. >> Looks like he's on the Grizzly and the Bulls. Yeah, >> he may not be on a team. >> I don't think he's on a team. >> He may not be on a team. >> What a bummer. >> That guy's doing so [clears throat] good, man. >> Bond in the G-League, right? Cuz they show those highlights and everybody's hyped cuz that's where they figure out if they want to use you. >> He's 5'7. >> Yeah, that's tough though. That's a big >> out of the NBA now. >> Think so. Cuz if you're 5'7, you're

5:06 probably a defensive. >> The Clippers waved him on October 12th, so just a couple days ago. >> A >> what does that mean? Like wave like you can come in or wave like you can't [laughter] come in. >> That's a nice way of saying you're released. >> Ah, like a liability waiver. The NBA is back on prize picks. Pick a shootout in the west and a boards battle in the east. Pick it all on prize picks available nationwide. So what are you guys waiting for? First and foremost, got to pick my boy Wii. I just think he's going all the way for the MVP. That's just that's just my my little throw it out there. I'm hoping for that. All right. Also, my favorite thing about prize picks is the flex play stuff. I basically put a flex play on every single game. One, because I'm not confident for the entire power play. And then two, it's because it's so fun to watch a game. You get invested when you're actually seeing their stat

5:56 meter go up and up and up and up or down and down down down depending on what you're >> But you're invested. >> I'm invested. That's the whole point. Yeah, >> that's right. >> I like people going down more than I like some people going up. >> Yeah, I I'm going to have to go I completely agree with you on who's going to win MVP. I just think that if he doesn't win MVP, it's because he gets injured. >> Don't say that. >> Well, I'm Well, that I just think it's it's a dunk. You like a basketball term like that? >> I do like it. Okay. [laughter] I know a lot about bowl and uh but but I have to say that I'm going to mix in a lot of Pacers. I'm throwing Tyrese Hallebertton in there >> as MVP. >> No, I I I look I if we're going to win, he's going to be in that conversation. So, I need to sprinkle that in. That's my flex play. >> You can't do that for a regular season pick. >> I don't need to do it for a regular season pick. >> There's no way. There's no way Hallebertton is even going to get close to that for the regular season. I'm just throwing that out there. Okay.

7:38 quick. Who Who How do we feel? So, right now, the number one, everyone's favoring the Spurs. Number two, like you said, Thunder. >> Boo. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> But but I think you, like you were saying, they have a really good shot to repeat because they're just stacked all around. >> Number three, Knicks. >> Is that a little disrespectful because they just won it all? >> No. >> They're always >> cuz that was a magical ride. >> Yeah. >> You can't just look at that and sell. I mean, I do think that, you know, if if you were like a underdog team the next season, you come back, you got a championship, like you're probably your confidence will probably take you a lot farther than like last season. >> But, I mean, still unlikely. >> Repeating is >> that was they they had a magical ride. >> Yeah, >> that was that was like >> Did they keep other players after the championship or did they a lot of the players leave? Cuz that always happens too, right? >> Kept everybody. Yeah, >> kept everybody.

8:28 >> So, they might be able to do a repeat, dude. You never That's why I mean that's why some people say it's pretty disrespectful to have them three, but I get what you're saying. It was a crazy run. >> I mean, look, at the end of the day, no matter what, you can't just have two Western Conference people be in the finals. So, no matter what, the East is going to have a chance. So, I mean, they could be number two. I I have no emotional bearing on that. >> Next one would be the Sixers with LeBron and obviously Jaylen Brown. >> Do you hope they do well for LeBron's sake? >> No. I have no love for LeBron. I have no hate for LeBron either, but I don't I hope they suck. >> You don't like the book reading thing that he does where he pretends I love the book >> to read a book while he's like on >> the first page every time. >> Yeah, >> dude. I love all the LeBron memes. I l I really like him as a person and I don't give a ████ about him on on the Sixers, though. >> I'm jealous of him because now he just immediately gets the highest access to

9:19 golf. >> Is Joel Embiid still on the Sixers? >> He is. >> Mhm. >> So, it's going to be all three of them. That's going to be crazy. >> Yeah. I mean, Ty, Maxi is still on the Sixers, too. It's a stacked team, and it looks very like black and threatening. Fair. >> Is it threatening because they're black or is it just threatening just because >> the memes are really funny cuz now you got like basically all white Lakers and like a all black Philadelphia. >> Oh, >> and so it looks it looks hilarious actually. >> What was your question? I'm sorry. >> Yes, it's [snorts] a race war. NBA this season is a race war. >> I'm staying out of this one. [laughter] >> Just sipping coffee. >> What are we going to do, Hannah? Keep on laugh. [laughter] >> Why power? >> Um, >> he's a Laker guy, dude. These Lakers. >> Speaking of that, the Celtics. Next, next up. I think they they looked good last year and and >> and they lost Jaylen Brown.

10:10 >> Jaylen Brown. They got Who who's their star guy? What's his name? >> Tatum. >> They always say he's soft. They always make fun of him. >> I mean, he's good. >> I think he's good. But online people, they they roast this >> because it's because of of the memes. >> Yeah, the memes are really good. >> Call him lightkinned. That's what they say. the we did it thing. You remember the we did it thing? >> No. What's up? >> He won the championship and he's holding the trophy and he goes, "WE DID IT." LIKE THAT. Like it's just sort of forced and corny. >> It's not like Kevin Garnett. >> Well, right. >> Where he goes, "Anything is possible." Like that was cool. But as Kevin Garnett, that's like his thing. >> But that wasn't like he's trying to force a clip. >> Yeah. >> You know what I mean? Like Tatum looked like he's trying to force like a clip for a highlights. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> The memes about him is that he literally just copies everybody's highlight moment. So even when he won the championship, they're waiting for his Kobe photo in the locker room. Everything >> that was funny as >> that's for sure a thing though for like these athletes. Like they want their

11:00 photo op. >> Some of them more than others is the problem. >> Yeah. And when you want it too bad, it's a little cringey. No one really likes that. >> You You don't have to make it cringy. You just won the championship. Yeah. >> So you just be yourself. Yeah. It's tough. It's a tough one. >> You're the coolest guy in in the NBA. >> I know. Um Paul George over there >> at the Celtics. >> Yeah. I feel like he's on every team. >> Mhm. What I mean >> kind of his >> Derek White. >> Okay. >> He doesn't like Derrick White. >> I feel like with the Celtics losing to Jaylen Brown, it's like >> it's hard. That's like their second threat. >> Plus, Celtics are gay. >> And who's their big man? >> Who's their big man? [laughter] >> You said Celtics are gay. >> That's what he said. >> It's all right. >> Next up, >> I don't know why we bother saying anything like softer when we're miked. [laughter] >> But But if you make this face afterwards Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Then they know you don't mean it 100%.

11:50 Oh yeah. >> And all the people who are listening really know that you Yeah. >> But that's sports talk though. You got to call teams gay. >> Yeah. >> Next up would be the Cavs. What do you think about the Cavs, Hannah? [laughter] >> Strong chance. >> Okay. Okay. >> You know what? I do like Jeremy Lynn's an NBA analyst now. >> Oh, that's pretty cool. >> I love that. Yeah, that's dope. >> I told you. >> I said we would Yeah. Yeah. Before the video, Steve said we're going to talk about Jeremy Lynn at some point. [laughter] >> He's gonna >> But that's actual news, though. >> No, that is news. >> That's a good honorable mention. And it's cool full circle moment for him. >> Look, also in the same year that Brenda Song is an NFL analyst, like let's go Asians. >> No way. >> Let's go Asians. >> Clap for us, Whiteies. >> Got to clap. >> You guys have dominated the the entire industry for years. >> Yeah, we >> the broadcasting >> the great we. >> We did it. [laughter] >> We did. >> But if the ratings go down, he's getting

12:41 fired immediately. >> That sucks. Yeah. Yo, they just need a fall guy. Jeremy Lyn's the fall guy. Imagine. No, he's not. >> What about the Nuggets? They're being completely ignored. >> Jokic. They got Jokic. >> Yeah. >> Who else? >> Uh uh uh the guy who everybody hates Jamal Murray. That guy >> I I think I'm just saying that as a Lakers fan. I'm not going to lie. >> Probably going to be OKC. Dude, OKC is so good. >> That's so boring though. >> I know. But that's why no one's really that interested in >> like watching the Tim Duncan Spurs back in the day. >> That's the thing, right? >> Nobody wants just regular good basketball. >> It's not good basketball. It's Flop City. >> Yeah. SJ's flops. SJ flops more. Like, it's crazy when you watch uh the old videos of Shay Gil just Alexander on like the Clippers versus when you watch him on OKC. Every shot he takes for OKC after he lands, it's always a fall.

13:33 >> Every shot. >> Everyone. >> And it's it's it's incredible. He just It's like a It's like a Fudrucker's like ████ marketing thing. >> He makes it though. >> He He's good. He's smooth as a ████ >> He wants the extra little bit, >> but he just falls, >> but he just gets mad calls like that. So he's getting the other players fouled out. He's getting free throws. >> Oh, I see. >> Which does make the game of basketball the worst part is watching the fouls. >> Yeah. >> Going to the foul line, it stops the flow of the game. It'll like it just it's not that fun. >> You can't you can't be like, "Okay, dude, this guy's scored 40 tonight." Yeah. 19 were free throws. Like that's just not that great. >> Exactly. >> And then the only other threat that I I'm surprised that they didn't put down there to me is Miami. >> Oh, >> Miami Heat. Who's on the Miami? They just got Giannis on Tentacmpo. >> He's he's on the Miami Heat now. >> So like now Bam Deio actually is going to get like uh he's going to be even

14:24 better player. >> Who's their guard in the Miami Heat? >> Dave Mitchell. >> I don't know who that is. Damn, I'm so hot. [clears throat] >> Klay Thompson. >> I think >> Klay Thompson's over there. >> Yeah, Klay's over there still playing. Wow. Clay's very like I don't know. You never know where Clay's >> You just need him a little bit. You just need a You just need a hot hand every now and then. He just needs to get out like get into another like ████ rapper relationship and then he'll be on fire. >> They have Wiggins. >> They do have Wiggins. >> I mean Wiggins. >> Um >> that sounds racist. [laughter] >> It's a real name. He's a real player. He's a real guy. >> Sounds It just sounds >> The way you said it sounds crazy. >> Call him Tony. Tony Wiggins. >> That's crazy. >> That's his first name, right? Anthony. >> Uh B. Um yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Andrew. Andrew. Andrew. >> Andrew Wiggins. I was just thinking of racist things. >> You're a Wiggins, dude.
