You know, Jalen Brown called Giannis a child after Sunday, after the Bucks-Celtics game. And basically Giannis elbowed Jalen. I don't know if you saw it in the face. And then Giannis faked the handshake.
Giannis a big-ass kid for real, man. And I'm not saying it, I mean, just by, like, when you look at that, when you look at the video of Damian Lillard giving them the shoe, shoes. Like most people that are with Nike would be like, ah, I ain't getting into that. Like he's a signature athlete with Nike. Free shoes is free shoes. Like he—
He's having the best time, dude.
He's a big ass kid. And I say that, I don't say that in a way like, like Jalen was pissed, you all right? Like, so he calling him a child. Like man, like, I say that in a way of like, like Bron, for instance, Bron is a big-ass kid. Like, and people don't realize he's a big-ass kid. Giannis, to me, you know, he always give you this super serious and like, ah, but like, to me it seemed like he is a big-ass kid. And honestly, when you are that type of force, you kind of need some of that for guys to be cool following you. Because they need something to relate to. You know what I'm saying? And so that was my takeaway from it. I thought it was wild to hit him with the—
Hey bro, that was, oh my God.
But—
What?
To me it seemed like a joke. I didn't take it as like—
But he just cracked you. Like, dog, what if he cracks you in the face with the elbow? And he was like, "All right, it's cool, Draymond." Nah, it ain't cool.
—Ah, you would have been hot.
That is true. Hey dog, you would have been hot. Yeah, I would have.
I also get my elbows back.
You would have definitely elbowed him and did the same thing, held him up off the ground and do the same. Come on, man. It's fun though. I like this era, bro, 'cause I like what You know, like this era is like, they hella playful. You know what I mean? Like, but it's also like some seriousness to it and it can start rivalries and beefs.
Yeah.
The littlest thing. You know what I mean? Like Jalen Brown wasn't playing, but Giannis wasn't playing, but Giannis don't care. You know what I mean? 'Cause they competing, they don't like each other. So it should just, raise the intensity level, right? That's a fact. You hearing dudes talk smack over Twitter and social media and in interviews. I like the podcast 'cause people be, they be getting shit off they chest, but it also be setting them up for like, okay, you gonna have to see that dude again.
You damn right.
What is it gonna be? You feel what I'm saying? So man, shout out to Giannis. You know, I love Giannis, man. He's one of my son's favorite players. And he is like the nicest dude in the world. You know what I mean? He's like one of the nicest dudes in the world. But he is a, I like it. 'Cause it's like, man, I elbowed you and I'm about to leave you hanging. So my teammates know like it ain't good. Like, I'm sorry, but I ain't sorry.
But I ain't sorry. Like I ain't trying to take you out, but I ain't really sorry, bro. And we really not cool.
Yeah. It's like, are you okay? All right, cool. You straight? All right, cool.
Oh, bro. No, I rock with it, man. Like I said, I rock Giannis' personality. I think it's great that he shows his personality. That's a part of becoming a superstar, which was one of my points about Shea Gildress-Alexander. You have to give people something else other than just being a great basketball player that they can connect to. And that is how you move in the superstar.
That's how you move the needle.
Shout out to Giannis, man. He better figure it out over there 'cause his coach about to be on the—
Draymond Green, he coming for you, Giannis.
He about to be on his second coach in a matter of 6 months if they don't figure it out fast.
Don't buy insurance from Doc Rivers, bro.
They better figure it out fast 'cause I tell you what, if they don't win some games here soon, they will be paying 3 coaches 4 because they still paying Bud. They still paying, uh, Adrian Griffin. Doc. And soon they'll be still paying Doc and paying somebody else if they don't figure it out fast.
They should just bring me in there to just sit down and monitor and be like, ah man, that shit ain't gonna work. Ah, that ain't gonna work. Ah, let me talk to the guys. Like, come on, dude. You got players like that and you trying to coach them? And what I mean, Dray, you know what I mean. Like, you, you, coaching is putting your best players in a position to be the best players. And everyone else who has a superpower to be in a position to be a superstar and realize and maximize their superpowers.
100%.
It's not about your coaching. And that's what Milwaukee is going through. They just going through an identity crisis. It's like, I can't, I don't know how to be Giannis, I don't know how to be Dame, and I damn sure don't know how to be a Milwaukee Buck right now.
