I look forward to this every single week.

Well, two times a week, actually.

Welcome to the alley oop.

You got to know, you got to know, you got to know.

I'm joined every single time, as always, by my sister and the Lord, Trista Crick.

How you doing today, sis?

I'm doing fantastic.

I just watched one of the most dominant performances by someone seven feet taller or higher.

I don't know, actually, she did of any size in Victor Wembanyama, which I'm sure we'll get into.

And then the head coach of my favorite team got arrested today.

I'm glad you said that because at 8.22 a.m.

Eastern Time, I got a tweet that came out from at Trista Creek, whoever that is.

I don't know who this is, but at Trista Creek on Twitter, it says, Blazers are for real, folks.

I didn't know.

And then literally, I think 30, 20 minutes later, they arrested the head coach.

Literally, come on.

Who is that Trista Crick girl?

Because

she is a bad omen.

Anytime she says anything positive about the Blazers, something bad happens.

Now we got Tiago effing Splitter running the team.

Tiago Splitter.

Is that even a real name?

The entire world glitched last night after seeing Victor Wimbenyama in 30 minutes now.

Not a whole game, not a whole practice.

30 stinking minutes.

That's longer than the episode of Seinfeld.

Barely.

You get your episode of Seinfeld, get you an episode of Friends.

Wimby got 40 points, 15 rebounds, zero turnovers.

What do you think of that performance against AD

all day?

What did you come, what did you get from that game last night?

That was like one of the most effortless 40-point performances I've ever seen because, like you said, it was only in 30 minutes.

Wemby was sitting on the bench for large portions of the first half specifically.

And I had him to go over 25 points.

And I was like, in the first quarter, kind of worried because he had like seven points, nine points or something.

And then I'm like, oh, no, no.

Whenever Wemby wants to score, he will score.

He can get the ball and then he'll be at the three-point line.

And I think it's one step and he's dunking on you.

The way that he pulled up over Derek Lively was like, I don't even see Derek Lively.

I can pull up, I can turn around, I can go back to the basket, do the dream shake, and I'm elevated.

And I don't like my chin doesn't see you, my chest doesn't see you.

I can go up up and under dunk.

There was one move he made where he turned, he did like a turnaround and then did the up and around dunk with one hand.

I was just just like stunned.

Okay, so yes, Wemby is strong.

Yes, Wemby's been in the weight room with the Shaolin Monks.

But at the same time, Wemby's also just elevated the rest of the team because all the other San Antonio Spurs were balling out as well, including our man Stephon Castle.

I thought to myself, man, I really should have actually physically bet him to be the points leader of the NBA season, which was yesterday before that game, 100 to 1, and today is 14 to 1.

Ah, damn.

Ah.

Damn.

Yeah.

I definitely feel you because throughout the night, it was like, I would say like four or five times where I rewound what I just saw.

I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Let me, that didn't just happen.

Rewind.

You're like, what is that?

Right.

My boy blocked the sh

out of Derek Lively.

Not, he just didn't block Derek Lively's shot.

He blocked the sh

out of Derrick Lively's shot.

Came down, same sequence, gave him one of these.

Alan Iverson, mother truckers.

Come here.

Oh, you over there?

You lost your ankles.

Come here.

I got something to tell you.

In your mouth, a wetness, a wet popsicle.

Look at this.

Look at this.

Okay.

Get that.

Goes coast to coast, takes it like a guard.

Takes it like his name is Kevin Durant.

Tween tween.

Oh, my God.

Oh, you're gone.

Oh, step back.

And one, sir.

And one, sir.

Oh, my goodness.

The and one over AD was also effortless.

Right.

Some people call it Stefferless.

Oh, my God.

Stefferless.

Wemberless.

Oh, my goodness.

This game was outrageous.

You know, the San Antonio Spurs were actually underdogs in this game by like three points.

And they blew the s

out of Cooper Flag.

They made us forget all about Cooper Flag.

Bro, we seven.

How many minutes we in?

We five, six minutes in, and I didn't even mention Cooper nor flags nor the national anthem.

Nothing.

No flags, no stars, no stripes, nothing.

Only Wemby.

How do you feel, though?

Okay, now that we bought him up, how do you feel about Cooper Flag's first game?

Because Jason Kid had the boy at point guard last night.

And we all know that ain't going to last.

We know Kyrie's sitting in the wings waiting.

But I didn't think he was going to start at point over D'Lo.

What do you think about that move from Jay Kidd?

Well, that's kind of the problem is it shows that there is a complete lack of trust in D'Angelo Russell.

Because Cooper Flagg, first and foremost, is a rookie.

Second of all, that is not his natural position to play point guard.

So you are not putting him in the greatest position to succeed.

He needs the ball in specific spots.

Now, Cooper Flag is very talented.

Cooper Flagg can handle some ball handling responsibilities, but Cooper Flag is not a point guard.

He's a 6'7 defensive monster who's cleaning up the backside.

Ayo.

Ayo.

And

blocking shots.

He's like a catch and shoot shooter.

He's not like a pull-up, distribute, organize the offense creator type and so I think he's miscast but really I think it's just that they don't have the cast member that they need which is Kyrie Irving so in the meantime it might be a little ugly while Cooper Flag is adjusting to this new role what you think yeah speaking of ugly and Cooper flag dump new balance that my boy put out salute like he look it's it's a great accomplishment to have your own sneaker there I no one

dreamed of even giving me one.

Look, nobody ain't looking, nobody's knocking down their door to give me my own sneaker.

I get that part.

Thank you, sis.

Well, we're going to get some cones.

Something so flashy.

You could be an anta.

Why not?

Okay.

Salute to Kyrie.

Give me a little anta moccasins.

But them Cooper flag, new balance, bruh.

They look like you're supposed to cut your grass in these only.

You don't play for real in these.

Cut your front line in these and only.

Who is what's the conference?

SCC.

They look like some SCC shoes.

That's what they look like.

They don't look like Big Ten shoes.

Ooh, you might be right, bro.

Big Tens.

They're Big Ten shoes.

Who is the swaggiest new balance athlete?

Bro, it might be Cameron Brink.

I'm like looking at him right now.

Look at Shoheio Tiny.

Shoheio Tiny just got all the swag from Japan.

Tyrese Maxie.

Tyrese Maxie's a swaggy little one.

I don't know how much swag my boy got.

I know my boy is shifty.

He's shifty as all get out.

And him and Vijay Edgecombe got some cooking right now

in Philadelphia.

Tyrese Maxie and Vijay Edgecombe, man,

do you think Vijay Edgecombe is rookie of the year material?

I know we speaking very, very, very early, but 30, what, 34 points in this 34, 34,

13 for 26, 5 for 13, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal.

And a W, by the way, in Boston.

You already know Boston got a long year ahead of them, but still, Boston had that.

That's a big win.

That's a big win.

Nobody's really expecting anything out of these Philadelphia 76ers.

And so if he's the one,

and you have injuries popping up like whack-a-mole, like we see from Philadelphia all the time.

And really, I mean, we've even seen this with Maxie go in and out.

Obviously, Embiid going and out.

And then the role players, Paul George, we'll never see him play a full healthy season, I don't think.

So

I think they won the draft.

I know Cooper Flag long-term is going to be excellent.

But VJ Edgecombe is...

He is really benefiting from a pro-style spacing perspective because Baylor and college basketball is just like very tight lanes.

You're sort of playing in a crowd much more than you do in the NBA.

And man, he looks really freaking good.

And Daryl Morray looks really freaking smart.

Bro, you know who didn't look really freaking good, nor neither the end piece of the process.

Oh, no.

Joel and beat and his knees, bro.

Like, them raglass knees was looking trash last night.

Dog, I feel I'm wearing off on you and not in a good way, honestly.

I really feel like maybe I am getting nicer and you're getting more blunt.

I'm not saying you're getting meaner, but you're getting more blunt about what you're saying.

Yeah, he doesn't,

it's like he can't jump over a deck of cards right now, right?

Bruh, a deck.

A deck of cards.

He can't jump.

I'm talking about one card.

He can't jump over the ace of spades right now.

No, he looks like a shell of himself.

He does look cooked.

This team, though, I mean, when you have multiple players that are not Joelle Embiid and not Paul George that you are excited about, you've got Jaron McCain.

First of all, he's a brand.

He's a star.

He's got the Sally's Beauty Supply sponsorship.

You've got got him as a bucket getter, and he absolutely is.

You got VJ Edge coming, you got Tyrese Maxie.

That's enough right there.

That's two guys on rookie contracts and a guy on a very team-friendly max deal.

Right?

We can't do that.

Right.

I like how the boy Bona be in the paint, getting boards, blocking shots, causing havoc on the defensive end.

They got something in Philly for real.

This is how you do two timelines.

This is how you do it.

Would you trade my boy right now, Joel MB?

What can you even get for Joel M.B.?

A snap machine, maybe.

One with Fritos, barbecue Fritos in them, moon pies,

you know,

deck of cards.

Chewing gum.

Chewing gum.

I mean, yeah, I would trade him if I could trade them.

I don't know who.

Maybe somebody thinks they have a better training staff than you, and they say, hell, you know, Mitchell Robinson.

Maybe the Knicks say, okay, well,

we don't think Mitchell Robinson will ever be healthy.

And so, like, it's just better to have Joel MB there in the paint holding it down, him and Carl Anthony Towns.

I don't know.

I mean, yes, I would.

I just don't know where you would, where, who wants him?

He's like an asset that's like a pinto right now.

How the mighty have fallen, bro.

I would have never thought we would say that about that man.

He's still a good man.

He's so good when he's good.

Right.

And he's still a national hero.

He was on the team that Steph Curry was on.

Oh, here we go.

I don't care about Earth.

Steph Curry saved Earth from villains, and he was on that team.

So he's always a hero.

Salute the team US.

Are the Serbians always considered a villain?

I didn't say that.

Well, who are the villains?

Anyone but us, the Americans?

Just the collective world.

Anyone.

Right, the collective world against Earth.

They are the villains.

Salute to Bogi, Bogdan Bogdanovich.

Never a villain in my book.

Salute to the boy.

Salute to him.

Moving on.

We had some more action in the NBA last night.

We had a lot of action.

But I'm going to go before tonight.

That first night, Kevin Durant returned to OKC on championship night.

Larry, I see you.

They booed my boy

so ferociously.

OKC fans, you don't understand the Constitution.

You don't understand liberty.

You don't understand the Louisiana Purchase.

This man is an American hero.

He was on the team that beat

France and Serbia.

You don't boo this man.

He made Oklahoma City cool.

I understand he left.

Get over it.

Put Oklahoma City's rings in a box and put Kevin Durant's rings in a box.

Shake them by your ears.

Huh?

This one seems more rattly because there's two in this box and there's only one in this box.

How dare you?

Shame on OKC fans.

Salute to that little baby he picked up before the game.

But reports came in that that same baby was booing his ass 20 minutes later.

How you feel?

I don't think I love Kevin Durant.

I love everything about him.

I like that he booed back.

Yep, boo back, bro.

I like that he's like, you guys don't like me.

I don't like you.

Honestly, I don't like the fans.

I don't like my former teammates, except for my current teammate, Stephen Adams.

I saw a stat, Juju, that the Rockets have played more games for the Oklahoma City Thunder than all of the Oklahoma City Thunder has played for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

That's a ridiculous stat.

Stat of the damn day.

Put the music behind it.

I won't bother you, Mr.

Back of the Day.

Needo, stat of the day.

What was that like?

Yeah, that's crazy.

Stephen Adams and Kevin Durant are OKC legends, and I think they need to get respect put on their name forever.

They were there.

I mean, Kevin Durant was there, excuse me, when they transitioned from the Seattle Supersonics to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

And without him, this team would have nothing.

Really, they would not have ever been cool.

Him, obviously, Russell Westbrook and Harden.

But I just think that the business is kind of dirty in general.

He's been passed around a bit.

And like, he left on his own terms from the Thunder because they traded to James Harden.

We talked about this last

episode as well.

So yeah, I just think in general that that matchup was so fascinating in terms of the basketball because you talk about a team that has no point guard.

I mean Dallas, Dallas has no point guard, but man, Houston really doesn't have a point guard.

I think Amin Thompson may be worse as a point guard than Cooper Flag.

Oh, damn.

I love Amond Thompson.

He's really good.

He's really, really good, but he's not a point guard.

My man, Reed Shepard, looks very much undersized as well.

So they need to figure it out and go out and get a guard.

ASAP.

Like, find a way to get De'Aaron Fox.

He's just down the road.

Find a way to get, I don't know, somebody.

Just get somebody.

Right, Paul George.

But the look in the eyes of Shea Gillis,

Shane Gillis Alexander.

Shea Gillillis.

As well as, yeah, Shane Gillis Alexander.

Anybody who Reed Shepard switched up on Lou Dort was like, oh, ISO.

And they proceeded to take his behind to the hoop every single time.

It was so bad that in overtime, they had to kind of offense defense with Reed.

Like, okay,

we can't leave you on Shea.

Absolutely not.

With Shay still proved to be Shay and got KD to file out on that

head fake last couple of seconds, which KD came out and said, you know what?

That was on me.

And you know what else was on him, that timeout that he called that they didn't acknowledge?

Salute to the reps for that.

They get a lot of bad flack.

They said, we like free basketball.

They said we like free basketball.

We're not going to Chris Weber Kevin Durant right now in his first game in Houston.

That sounds like an AO, but it's not.

It's not.

Moving on.

Also, the return of Marcus Smart.

The breaking news: Marcus Smart is an LA Laker, and he is up to his old antics.

I'm talking about 100 miles an hour.

He almost pulled Steph Curry's shoulder out of his socket, put his arms up like, hey, that wasn't.

I don't know how his shoulder got there.

It wasn't me.

Like, my boy is back.

Defensive player of the year, former defensive player of the year, Marcus Smart, put a little, do not besmirch him.

You feel me?

I would never besmirch Marcus Smith

because he's a lifelong Celtic.

Lifelong Boston Celtic, I know.

You got a the sculpt that's getting a lot of them.

He actually didn't get one.

Exactly.

They said he was the heart and soul of the Boston Celtics, and that the team would never be the same without him.

But yet, they did win a championship without him.

But he is still a legend that was a part of the process.

Yeah, no, he's cooked.

I mean, I think all these Lakers, Juju, are cooked outside of Luca.

It's a team that I think a lot of people are going to be rooting for, and looking at, and betting on, and talking about on TV, and they are a team that really is a paper tiger.

And to be honest,

this will come out tomorrow after this matchup concludes.

And maybe I'm going to be proven incorrect.

But I see, Juju, that the Denver Nuggets are underdogs to the Golden State Warriors tonight.

And to that, I say, is Nicola Jokic out?

No.

Is Cam Johnson out?

No.

Is Jamal Murray out?

No.

Aaron Gordon out?

No.

so why the hell are they underdogs maybe tomorrow I'll look like a complete fool but as as of now I think the Golden State is a team that's gonna win some regular season games they're gonna do not a lot more than that damn

I got look this coming out tomorrow so I'm finna try to sound very very brilliant right now bro Jimmy Butler last night oh my god He when he snaps into that mode that he

snapped into last night

It's trouble them Golden State Unks, I promise you, they're going to make way more noise than we think.

At least the four seed.

I said they're going to get the four seed earlier, but

four seed.

And what they did to the Denver Nuggets was very impressive.

Right.

And Brandon Potzimski, you cannot shoot that shot, bro.

Come on, man.

Neither here nor there.

Look, that's from the future right there.

But we teased it earlier, but we got to get into it, man.

Your team, your head coach, Chauncey Jerome Billops, has been arrested by the feds

for cheating at poker.

Now,

keep respect-ish on his name.

He wasn't betting on NBA games.

She wasn't doing that.

Well,

did you see more stuff has come out, Juju, that they're saying now online, there's some reporting that is accusing him of alerting gamblers that Damian Lillard was going to be out of games that nobody knew he was going to be out of.

So that is also coming out.

Big win, or big, not win.

It was basically a win for the Portland Jailblazers.

Ant Edwards had to hit like a go-ahead last second three to win the game against the Blazers at home, game one.

And Chauncey Billops, after the game, said, I'm just going to let the chips fall where they fall and not think about anything else.

And then, like, six hours later, he was pulled from his home by federal agents, like, literally

pounding down his door with the barricades and all that shit.

Now he's gonna be stuff.

Excuse me, sorry, Mr.

Rebecca.

And all, and gonna get arraigned today.

And they're saying he was like the, he was like the, um, what do they call that?

Like, honey, he was like the honey trap.

You know, nah, they're not a honey trap, my boy.

Come on, bro.

He's like you the honey trap.

He was like the honey, the honey pot, where they they were like, oh, do you want to do you want to put do you want to play in this poker game with all these like former NBA legends?

Do you want to sit next to Chauncey Billup's Hall of Famer?

We've got Chauncey Billup at this poker game.

And then apparently, allegedly, according to Cash Patel and the rest of them boys and the FBI,

they had like some x-ray

technology where you could see through the cards.

And there was some like aftermarket shuffling machine, and they had like IFBs in their ears or something, some way to communicate with the people who are not getting their money taken from them.

And this apparently was happening nationwide.

Nationwide.

I mean, the Poca Canyons was my boy plan.

I guess there was like six different cities that this was occurring in.

And Damon Jones, who played with LeBron James, was involved not only in that scheme that was apparently backed by the mafia, the Gambino crime family, and some other ones.

I don't, I didn't know

it's real.

That's how you know it's real.

When the Fed say the Gambino family and La Costra Nostra,

all bets are off, bro.

Chauncy,

good luck, my brother.

But we got to stand on this side because we don't need the Costra Nostra bothering none of us.

I was like, I thought La Costra Nostra was a caffeine brand.

I didn't know that it was a mob that was also in connection with the Gambinos as an alliance.

The whole thing's crazy.

In the triads.

In the triads.

But I guess Damon Jones was also involved in the Terry Rozier scheme with the mafia, which was, hey, my foot, my back, my neck, and my back.

I'm going to be coming out in the first quarter, bet my unders.

And

then those unders hit.

And that was like thousands of dollars dollars

that was bet against the legal sports books.

So the whole thing, we got Terry Roser getting locked up.

We got my head coach getting locked up.

And I was supposed to go to the game yesterday and I wasn't feeling good because apparently I got genetic cataracts and they put a bunch of eye drops in my ears or in my ears, in my eyes.

Yeah.

So, I mean, the whole thing, Juju, is just like kind of baffling and historically

unprecedented that boy said he's gonna let the chips fall where they fall terrible pun terrible coincidence saying the chips fall where they fall when you're about to get involved in like a poker a poker thing is rough man let the chips fall where they fall salute oh get well so

and welcome to tiago splitter do you think uh terry rose nba nba champion tiago splitter right with your San Antonio Spurs.

Neither here nor there.

But do you think Terry Rosier plays another second in the NBA after this?

No.

Not a second.

Nope.

When the feds come, it's a rap for you.

I think Gilbert Arenas might have snitched on everybody when he got arrested and said he was going to sing.

Listen, he said he was going to.

Allegedly.

He did say it on the internet.

He said it.

I heard him.

I saw him.

He said, i'm snitching on everybody and then we got chauncey billups and damon jones probably played with gilbert arenas for the wizards because damon jones played for like half the league and now we've got uh now we got people going to jail so congratulations on gil's arena getting picked up for another season

allegedly and salute to no chill allegedly and salute damn to no to yes snitch gil

you know who've been having a great couple days, bro?

I ain't never seen this brother glow like this, bro, on TV glowing right now.

Sean Shirania, bro.

Oh, yeah.

That boy can't wait to break this news.

He said, oh, some fun news out of it.

This is not fun news, brother.

Did he say fun news?

He said fun news on this IG story.

No, he did not.

Right.

And salute to Pablo Torre.

Our brother.

Pablo Torre had this story first.

He scooped Sean's on this.

So we got to keep the respect on the boy Pablo name, man.

Terry Rosier, bro.

Damn.

It's that one video out there of Terry Rosier shooting.

Look at my boy Sean's right now.

This boy look resplendent.

Yeah, he does.

He said, that's why they pay me the big bucks

to break this stuff.

Moving on, though, we got some more.

We're going to update some more scores right quick.

The Suns came back on the Kings.

The Spurs, of course, did their thing.

The Jazz put a foot,

a foot up the Clippers' ass.

I'm talking about size, 100 foot up.

It was never a chance for these boys in the game.

Is the Kawash story affecting these boys like that?

I heard he was doing just as much on the floor defensively as he did for aspiration.

Okay.

Look, for all the uninitiated out there, that means he ain't do a damn thing.

He didn't do a damn thing.

The Magic, Orlando Magic, over the heat.

I think the Orlando Magic might be in the Eastern Conference Championship.

I'm going to say that again for my glitching computer.

I think the Orlando Magic might be in the Eastern Conference Championship this year.

Okay.

Against the Knicks.

Your Knickerbockers, not mine.

Yours.

You got me those tickets.

Well, sort of.

I won you those tickets.

Neither there.

Hey, we didn't pay for them, neither here nor there.

Good stuff.

Great.

Oh, big shout out to our brothers and sisters in Christ in the NBC family.

They did a phenomenal job on the first night of the NBA with all the graphics, the slam thing, the Michael Jordan interview, which he didn't say anything at all, but I still was completely entranced.

Mike Torico on the broadcast makes everything better.

And shout out to Carmelo Anthony for not wearing, not getting bullied into wearing a suit.

There we are.

Come on, the real legend.

Salute to Kayen, too.

I'm ready to see my boy Kayen this year at Syracuse.

I think he's going to be one of the ones.

But yeah, bruh.

Great, great start.

Great show.

Great start to the show.

Great start to the season.

What a clean show.

Lots that we got to.

Lots of storylines.

And also, like, get my boy Chauncey Billips out the clink.

Somebody bail him out.

You feel me?

Come on, get him out.

Also,

get my sister an award for a perfect bow tie on her hoodie today.

That's how it's done, ladies and gentlemen.

If you want to do that,

I had to do it multiple times before the show started.

Come on, man.

Brown on Brown, man.

Any last words getting out of here today?

Listen, don't tell everybody.

to bet your unders unless you don't want to play in the NBA anymore.

You make $27 million a year, Terry Rozier, just, and we know you're on the list.

Okay.

I've seen your Instagram posts and your stories.

We know you're affiliated, allegedly.

So, like, don't get yourself involved in the mob as well.

Right.

And also, it's a good time to remind y'all.

Terry Rozier doing music, so he might be finna go through a little bit of a financial situation.

So, let's run his streams up right now, ASAP.

I'm not sure his name or his handle.

In the arms of an angel.

You feel me?

Same, we be back Tuesday.

Same bad time.

Same

Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began.

In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila.

Cuervo.

What are you doing here?

Cuervo.

Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like, Cuervo.

I think it could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

The same family, the same land, the same passion.

Cuervo.

So enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Cuervo.

Cuervo.

The tequila that invented tequila.

Hey, it's Tony from the Dan Lebitard show, and I got to tell you something that makes me feel a lot safer with my wife and kid at home.

It's simply safe.

Most security systems only react after a break-in.

And that's too late if you want to be honest.

Real security stops crime before it even starts.

I just watched a video that was absolutely terrifying.

An arson is trying to light a family home on fire.

And you know what?

SimplySafe stopped it before anybody got hurt.

Their AI-powered camera spotted the threat, alerted the monitoring agent, and the intruder got confronted while still outside the house.

That's what I call real security, pre-security, not post-security.

I trust SimplySafe with my home, my family, and everything I care about.

No hidden fees, no long-term contracts.

And they've been named one of the best home security systems by U.S.

News for five years running.

Right now, Levitar Show listeners can get 50% off a Simply Safe system at simplysafe.com/slash DLB.

There's no safe like Simply Safe.
