In this YouTube reaction video, former NBA players Draymond Green and Baron Davis discuss LiAngelo Ball’s newly released track “Tweaker.” Green admits he hasn’t heard the song yet, while Davis praises its 2005‑era, No Limit‑style vibe, likening it to “Big Thomas” and noting its departure from contemporary drill or Lil Baby trends. They comment on the track’s rapid rise to the #1 spot on YouTube, speculate about LiAngelo performing at the NBA All‑Star halftime show, and joke about his potential to revitalize the event. The conversation then shifts to favorite Steph Curry trash‑talk moments, with Green recounting several on‑court incidents involving Curry, Klay Thompson, and Kevin Durant. They segue into locker‑room anecdotes from their rookie years, highlighting interactions with veterans like Kendrick Perkins, Jared/Jerry Jack, and the dynamics of “barking” on the bench. Throughout, the tone remains informal, humorous, and enthusiastic, peppered with repeated phrases for emphasis. The video serves both as a light‑hearted commentary on LiAngelo’s musical venture and a nostalgic look at NBA culture and player banter.

Speaking of the 2000s, what you think about that new Jello song?
I'mma be honest with you, BD. I may be the only person in the walk of life that I live in that I have not heard the song.
Oh my God, what?
I haven't heard the song. Is it really good or are y'all just like laughing at him but kind of laughing with him but laughing at him?
Nah, it's hard. The reason why I like it is like he brought back a 2005, right? So like, it ain't like he trying—
Big Thomas vibe?
Yeah. Hey bro, I'm telling you.
Big Thomas, No Limit, like 2000s?
Hey bro, you gonna be like, yo, I remember this song when I was growing up. That's how it gets you right. Like it not, you know what I mean? But he didn't come out trying to do drill rap. He didn't come out, trying to rap like Lil Baby or what everybody else rap like. I think this is kind of like showing like, man, my shit different, my shit hitting and is knocking. Like his little hook, you know what I mean? I'mma swerve on the cornerstone.
So Jello ain't, so Lavar was right. Jello ain't necessarily make it in basketball, but you saying he about to make it as a rapper. So Lavar was right all along.
He got the number one YouTube song right now. Dudes calling me like, "Yo man, you know Jello? I'm trying to book him for a show. I'm trying to book him for—" Really?
Really.
Good for him.
All right, one second. Charles just sent the link. I'm about to listen. Y'all give me a second.
It's like when you be like, "Yo man, my cousin rap." And people be like, "Oh, that fool don't rap." And then he come with some shit like that at the family reunion. It's like, "Okay, this smacking." Whoa, whoa.
Hey, that's knocking. I ain't gonna even lie.
I'm telling you.
LeBron definitely had him listening to some big timers coming up.
He had to.
Had to.
That shit, that shit go.
Lonzo can rap too.
Lonzo can rap too.
I actually heard Zo rap before. Zo can rap. But that's knocking. I rock with that. All right, all right, Jello. Halftime show of the All-Star Game, what up?
That'll be hard.
Bring the All-Star, Jello, bring in the All-Star Game. The All-Star Game been dead.
That's hard.
Jello here to save it.
I gotta listen to that album tomorrow.
I'ma look at Jello. Whoa, whoa.
What is the best Steph Curry trash talk you've heard from him or any teammate? And that's from Hunter Bumgardner 11.
I think the one where Steph was talking to Jaylen Brown when he shot faked and he stepped through and hit the 3 at the buzzer and he started pointing, he took his mouthpiece out.
Yeah.
And he started pointing out what he was saying to Jaylen Brown right there in that moment.
Yeah.
Like, "Crazy boy." Like, what he was saying to Jaylen Brown in that moment was one of my favorite moments. I'll give you 3 of my favorite moments. That one was one of my favorite moments. When Klay hit the 3 on, When Klay hit the 3 and Dylan Brooks fell over and Klay ran over to him and pointed in his face while he on the ground, I really enjoyed that moment. And KD just had all these slick one-liners, man, that KD hit you with a crazy one-liner like outta nowhere.
Yeah.
And I would enjoy those moments. And then from my rookie year, Kendrick Perkins was on the Oklahoma City Thunder. And you know, we are a young up-and-coming team, not even up-and-coming, we just young. Steph, you know, getting off the ankle surgeries. Klay had a decent end of a rookie year. We just young. And Jared Jackson on our team. So Kendrick Perkins, you know, he had just won the championship a few years prior with Boston, got his contract in OKC. You know, he feeling himself, he talking to our bench and I'mma bark. I'mma always bark, been barking. But you know, when you a rookie, again, back to rookie, like that ain't really carrying no weight. I'm barking.
Right.
You gonna hear me bark, but they like, man, shut up. Like you ain't got no stripes. Who are you? Like, shut up. Like, bro, I'mma always keep barking. That's just who I am. They ain't hearing none of that. So Jerry Jack, being the vet that he is, being around this league, knows that y'all can keep talking and they ain't gonna listen, like, because y'all ain't done nothing, right? So Jack start barking. And Jack, if you know Jack, Jack don't get into it with many people. Jack ain't jumping in something. Jack is smooth, yeah.
That's smooth though.
Jack only gonna come in at the point where it's like, "Hey man, enough." Like, that's when Jack gonna say something. And so Jack finally like, Yo bro, you keep talking over here. Like play the game, man. And Kendrick Perkins start talking junk to Jack like, yeah. And he, he mentions his contract. I think at that time Perk had just signed 4 for 32 if I'm not mistaken. Which again, at that time was big money. Which again, $8 million a year is still a lot of money. I'm not in real life, I'm, but I'm just talking about in terms of NBA salary at the time, that's big money. I think at the time the max salary is like 14.
Yeah. Yeah.
50. Perk yells to the bench, you know, like, "Yeah," something about his bag. Like, "I got paid." And Jack, like, Jack going back at him like, "Man, you ain't like that. Like, keep yelling over here." He's like, "Oh, I got paid. I get made this money." And Jack was like, "And? People make mistakes every day. People make mistakes every single day. You know what?
You trash, nigga." I really enjoyed that moment 'cause it was one of them ones where like, the OG was up on Artie Smith.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I like that. Yeah, he got your back.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I really enjoyed that one. I really, that was one of my favorite ones.
