Alley Oop 144: LeBron’s MONSTER Dunk Goes Viral: What His Emotion Reveals | OKC Unstoppable? | Travel Calls Disappear & Bulls’ No-Return Moment

Speaker 1 I got a couple beats for our theme song soon. And me and the kid, if you haven't heard, we're heading down to the MIA yo next week to be on the main She-Know, you dig it.
And so

Speaker 1 I'm going to show you a couple of them example tracks I got. You feel me? Ooh,

Speaker 2 I love that.

Speaker 2 I love Miami. It is just one of, I cannot wait to go down for the main show.
I'm a Ceviche maniac. There's a restaurant called The Mandolin.

Speaker 2 I think it's too expensive for how much I get paid, but I've been wanting to go there for years. And guess what? I'm going to make a Rezi.
No Hesi. We've got a white elephant party on Wednesday.

Speaker 2 Me and Juju are going to come with the AlleyOopShow.com promo so you guys can start subscribing to our sub stack. You did.
We're here. It's up.
It's It's so peak.

Speaker 2 It's peak like LeBron has never left, Juju. Oh my God, can we cut it to the tape?

Speaker 1 Come on, man. All the way up, man.
You got to know. And speaking of

Speaker 1 up right now, iTunes by the Kid right now, featuring Jay Nice. Check it out whenever you can in your free time.
But neither here nor there. LeBron James is still doing LeBron James things.

Speaker 1 Now, the Lakers were eliminated from the NBA Cup, the Emirates NBA Cup. Let me get get one more time.

Speaker 2 I couldn't hear you. What did you say?

Speaker 1 The Emirates NBA Cup, you feel me.

Speaker 2 They were eliminated by the Wemby-less San Antonio Spurs. FU Lakers, there's nothing I love more than Lakers just going down into the earth, besmirching their purple and gold names.

Speaker 2 Love it.

Speaker 1 Yes, they got their behind kick, too.

Speaker 1 Stephon Castle stepped up, big way, Fox crossed up Austin Reeves. A lot of questionable things happened during this game on the defensive side of the ball for the Lakers.

Speaker 1 But for one play and at least one play only, LeBron James turned back the clock yet again. Oops, I'm sorry, he stayed in the present yet again and dunked on

Speaker 1 my guy.

Speaker 2 Luke Cornett, the green cornet.

Speaker 1 Let's see it, Ms. Rebecca.

Speaker 2 first of all

Speaker 2 first of all that was a nasty dunk Luke Cornet should have probably gotten out of the way second of all

Speaker 2 that you didn't have to do Luke Cornette like that you could have just gone up That just shows that LeBron has a little extra oomph. Put a little oomph in it, like Jagged Edge here, Juju.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and it goes to show you Luke Cornette is a legend. He on LeBron radar, like you just said, LeBron ain't got to do all this, man, but he saw Luke down there.
Oh, nah, not the GOAT, not the GOAT.

Speaker 1 I'm finna posterize the GOAT. You feel me?

Speaker 2 And if you, to say it even more effusive than that, if it was just an everyday dunk, if it was just like a

Speaker 2 regular Monday through Friday, I'm just doing this because I'm LeBron kind of dunk, he wouldn't have screamed in his face right after.

Speaker 1 He

Speaker 2 not only dunked on him, it was like the Lion King roar, Juju. It had a little extra energy to it.
Miss Rebecca played the clip.

Speaker 1 Exactly, bro. There it is right there, bro.
Look at my boy. Look how exciting it is to finally dunk on one of your heroes, Luke Cornette, man.
Jackson, hey, bro, you can get casted right now.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you trying to do some acting or whatever, bro, but you look the part of a zombie from any zombie movie, but you look crazy as hell, man.

Speaker 2 He looks like he's the one. If you photoshopped LeBron out,

Speaker 2 you would think that

Speaker 2 Jackson Hayes did the dunk.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 2 Just move Jackson Hayes up forward and you'd be like, damn, what did Jackson Hayes do to Luke Cornette? Absolutely nothing. He's just there to co-sign the LeBron James scream.

Speaker 1 To co-sign that mom's making pizza rolls. You feel me?

Speaker 1 Love the video, Miss Rebecca.

Speaker 1 Look at him, man. Come on, LeBron.
Stall him out, LeBron. Stall him out.

Speaker 1 It's disrespectful. It's up if I'm Luke Cornette.
All right, pause it.

Speaker 1 It's up if I'm Luke Cornette bro. Don't scream at me like this.

Speaker 2 First of all, I feel special that I got that treatment from LeBron because clearly he doesn't do that for anybody. But Luke Cornette is trying so hard to pretend like he doesn't see LeBron.

Speaker 2 He doesn't want to make eye contact because I think he's a little concerned and doesn't want to find out what happens if he does make eye contact with him.

Speaker 2 It's almost like when you champion Luke Cornette,

Speaker 1 look, I didn't say anything. I'm just since we're talking about a champion, I may as well hold it.

Speaker 2 But that's like when you go into an it's like Luke Cornette is like when you go into a neighborhood that you're not like really quite familiar with as a white person.

Speaker 2 You just don't like, listen, you just don't make eye contact. You just, everything

Speaker 2 is straight in front of you. Don't look at anybody on the stoop.
Don't look and see what's going on. If you pass them, just give them a quick head nod, like, I'm supposed to be here.

Speaker 2 But if you've never been in that neighborhood before, you just do what Luke Cornette did with

Speaker 2 the LeBron James scream.

Speaker 1 Bruh, I can't say, I can't put that no better than that, bro. That's exactly it, bruh.

Speaker 1 My boy's trying to, he's just trying to get to the car, man. I don't know what y'all playing.
I don't know what these dice mean.

Speaker 1 I'm just trying to get to the car.

Speaker 2 Don't patch your pockets. Don't look at your phone now.
You look distracted.

Speaker 2 Phone in the pocket, head straight.

Speaker 2 Zipped up. We're going forward.
We're moving this way. No head movement either direction.
Don't look like you're curious.

Speaker 1 And don't unlock your car until you get right up on. Exactly.
Like, I'm talking about hit the door at the same time. Beep, beep,

Speaker 1 beep, beep.

Speaker 2 No doubt. You definitely don't want to.
What the f as you looking at? You got a problem? You got nope, nope problem. Nope, nope.
I wasn't looking at anything. Nope.

Speaker 1 You know, the videos

Speaker 1 where they'd be like, this is how you get out of this in the car for Robert. And then the seats go back too slow and they just end up in heaven.
That's Luke Cornette. What are you guys?

Speaker 1 So I'm hoping for

Speaker 1 Sion. I'm fucked for for today.

Speaker 1 Courtney in the sky.

Speaker 1 No doubt.

Speaker 2 That entire dunk scream is that Faith Evans song.

Speaker 1 Right. Bruh.
Speaking of Faith Evans songs, bruh.

Speaker 1 I'll be missing. Who that beat yesterday? Whoever Oklahoma City played, the Sun, the Phoenix Sun, man.
I will be missing you, bro. Because...

Speaker 1 What? It was a 50-something points. It was not interesting.
The most interesting time of that game

Speaker 1 is when the Suns cut it to like 12. I was like, ooh.

Speaker 1 But Oklahoma City Thunder, bro, the way they operating right now, the way Shay ain't got to play no fourth quarter if he really just don't want to.

Speaker 1 Are these?

Speaker 1 I mean, I know I came on here last week and said big whoop, do it in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 Whoop, dee-doo. They winning all these games.
So they look,

Speaker 1 what, lost one game? Whoop, dee-doo, is what I said last week. But, man, it's looking quite impressive, sis.
What you think about these boys?

Speaker 2 Will they ever lose again?

Speaker 2 That's kind of the question that I have, and they're doing it with ease.

Speaker 2 The thing that makes it so hard to bet on Oklahoma City or against them is they could legitimately win by this amount against almost anyone just if they decide.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 they were in a close one, a little squeak win against the Phoenix Suns a few weeks ago, and they were 15-point favorites again, 15 and a half-point favorites again.

Speaker 2 And I was like, Well, you can't call it if they play with their food, which they can do and they sometimes do, and they're within their right to do, as they only have one loss.

Speaker 2 All that matters is they're getting the dub, and they've already proved it.

Speaker 2 But if they decide, no, no, we're going to make a statement, we're going to make you an example of what we can do when we decide to take over,

Speaker 2 then you're hopeless. Do you remember, Juju?

Speaker 2 I was thinking about how far the Oklahoma City Thunder have come. Okay.
December 21, so 10 days from now,

Speaker 2 but in 2021.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 December, no, actually, December 2nd, excuse me, December 2nd, 2021,

Speaker 2 the Thunder had the largest loss in NBA history.

Speaker 2 They lost by 73 points to the Memphis Grizzlies. Grizzlies were on the come up.
OKC looked lost. Shea wasn't close to the superpower he was now.

Speaker 2 And to that, I say, wow, look how fast stuff has changed.

Speaker 1 So now it makes sense. Bro, I was wondering, bro, why do the Thunder kick the Grizzlies' ass so hard every time they play them?

Speaker 1 It feels like they don't let, like, bro, they beat them by 60, 50 in the playoffs last year.

Speaker 1 And John Morant talking about something, man, if I would have been there. I was out there.

Speaker 1 Boy, don't get joking

Speaker 1 from the past.

Speaker 2 So they play the Clippers, Wolves, Grizzlies. I don't know when

Speaker 2 it doesn't really matter actually who they play. Where I just say that's an L for that team.
That's an L. I mean, I'm like waiting for them to maybe play the Nuggets.

Speaker 1 I know who they don't want to play no more. It's the boys who they scared of for real.
Your guys

Speaker 1 exactly. Come on now.

Speaker 1 Put some respect on their name. They could have been, they could have beat them twice.
That's what I'm saying. They could have.
Again.

Speaker 1 But hey,

Speaker 1 neither here nor there. Moving on.
I am sick and tired in this South Ass NBA, the South Fast 2025, whatever you want to call it. That also,

Speaker 1 we get to take this extra pro step, pro hop, duke, gather step, whatever you want to call it.

Speaker 1 This out of my damn life, bro. Well, let's see this.
Let's see my boy Grayson Allen, this thug.

Speaker 1 Let's see what he was up to during this play. You have Anthony Edwards, you're almost in the game.
Look at that. 21 for Edwards.
One, two, three. Rayson Allen.

Speaker 1 Come on, man.

Speaker 2 Oh, no, I'm going to need to see it again.

Speaker 1 You have Anthony Edwards, you're almost in the game.

Speaker 1 21 for Edwards, Rayson Allen. No.
Man, come on, bro. I don't give a damn.
And my problem is, ain't nobody even bad eye.

Speaker 1 The Timberwolves, they ain't even be like, oh, the traveler. They just let this stuff go to hell.
Bro, what the hell is happening to America, bro? And Liberty.

Speaker 2 And Liberty, as soon as you complete that last step

Speaker 2 on the step back. Yeah.
There's no more movement. That's it.
We've already done an illegal move. That's an illegal move that we've decided collectively is nasty.
Nasty. So we want to see it.

Speaker 2 So I'm seeing... I'm seeing chat right on Iowa last night step back, sidestep,

Speaker 2 travel. And it's like, that's nasty.
Okay, we'll let it slide. That's now a new rule we allow.

Speaker 2 You cannot now then take another step for a floater. That's it.
Like, that's it. Your feet need to be in glue once you

Speaker 2 like once you do the step back, you're in glue.

Speaker 1 We should go. I think we should tell Miss Rebecca, back up to Winnie Obago.
Let's hit the winter meetings, bruh, and stand outside, brother. That's a travel.
No more pro step.

Speaker 1 Let's pick it.

Speaker 2 We should get the big, like, uh, white anti iPads. You know, the ones that they take to like the Capitol and they take photos on.
And we should just show

Speaker 2 a video of illegal travels that we think need to be banned from the NBA. And then we should have a clipboard.
You can have the iPad.

Speaker 2 I'll have the clipboard, and we'll take signatures to send in to Adam Silver. We vote.
We've all collectively decided you guys need to vote on this.

Speaker 1 And while we're doing that, Miss Rebecca and Dylan can throw paint on their wools and their fleeces,

Speaker 1 their cordisips. Take that, you feel me? Come on, man.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 moving on now, I gotta go back to the past. That one's actually fired up.
Right, right, right, right.

Speaker 1 I was a little bit beside myself. But moving on, I gotta go back to the past, man.
Josh Giddy, Ankle Breaker. I know it's from the past, and I wanted to bring it back up again today.

Speaker 1 Miss Rebecca, please throw this beautiful bean footage from the past.

Speaker 1 Where were you, you know?

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 now I brought this up just to say this.

Speaker 1 That moment right there

Speaker 1 is when the bulls season was broken, bro. The bulls had only lost two games at that point.
They were like nine and two or something.

Speaker 1 They are now three and twelve since that moment happened. Wow.

Speaker 1 Come on, bro. I want to ask my sister, did DeAndre Hunter break the Bulls?

Speaker 2 I think the Bulls, to be honest, were broken. We just didn't know for sure that they were broken.
How do we know that? Because every year they're a 500 team. That's just what they are.

Speaker 2 You can kind of just count on it. 40 wins.
42 wins, 39 wins.

Speaker 2 Doesn't matter if they get the majority in the beginning of the season like they did this year or the majority in the end of the season like they did last year. We already know what time it is.

Speaker 2 Does the Josh Giddy injury

Speaker 2 add some hilarity to their misfortune? Yes. Do I like to see my brothers and sisters look as uncoordinated as he did when he broke his own damn ankles playing defense?

Speaker 2 No, it hurts me for us and like to remain at least, I don't know, respectable in terms of like playing defense against people. Like DeAndre Hunter's not even that good, to be honest.

Speaker 1 Okay, so I know he's going to cross the line.

Speaker 1 Damn it,

Speaker 1 five yards.

Speaker 2 If it was Kyrie

Speaker 2 or KD

Speaker 2 or an elite scorer with a bag as deep as Mary Poppins, then you could say, okay, Josh Giddy, we're going to let this one slide. We'll let it slide further than you just did on the court right there.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 But DeAndre Hunter, come on, man.

Speaker 2 He needs jiffy oil in his hips and knees in order for him to get busy. I think he gets literally tune ups the day of games.

Speaker 1 Tune-ups. The jiffy oil tune-up.
Bruh, how does the besmircher? I bought this up for Josh Giddy and the boys. We found a way.

Speaker 1 Hold your horses, DeAndre Hunter. We're going to find a way to besmirch you.
Look at us sipping the damn tea. That's the biggest cup of tea.

Speaker 2 I like DeAndre Hunter just fine. Never mind the fact that a lot of people were hyping him out of Virginia and he hasn't really panned out and he is only a defensive guy.

Speaker 2 But that will remain on DeAndre Hunter's highlight tape: the moment that he broke the bulls.

Speaker 1 Moving on. So I'm hopeful, hopeful, piss on him

Speaker 1 to a segment we like to call Boy Stop, man.

Speaker 1 Miss Rebecca, what do you have for us this week?

Speaker 3 So what I got for you guys today is a little,

Speaker 3 it's a tradition I found. It's a small school, Taylor University.
And this is what they do. The entire school dresses up in costumes.

Speaker 3 And they stay dead silent, dead silent until the 10th point is scored.

Speaker 3 And then I'm going to let you see what happens, and then I'll come back for more. Here we go.

Speaker 1 That's hard.

Speaker 1 Into the hands of Gould. Back underneath.
Cole. Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 1 This is, bruh, I love this. This looks amazing.

Speaker 2 Wait, so pause it. So they...

Speaker 2 They all are in colors and blocks, and they all rush to the court like almost like a spilling of liquid out onto the floor where you see all these different rainbows converge.

Speaker 2 I'm kind of shook it.

Speaker 3 And then at the end, they all sing Silent Night together. It's some trajectory.
And they build in a break for this to happen, for them to flood the thing. Because that team got swallowed up.

Speaker 3 Both those teams got swallowed up in that. You saw that.

Speaker 2 They did. That's an injury risk.

Speaker 2 I'm going to say that right now.

Speaker 1 After this is over, I just want us to clip Trista explaining what's happening. happening she said the colors are mixing in with the centrifugal force like bro i put that in my veins directly but yeah

Speaker 1 i love i love this tradition bro as long as everybody be safe because it's a doozy that first step sometimes and you trip on that first step you got a thousand shoe prints up your ass so

Speaker 2 be careful they what they need actually is like a trapdoor right underneath

Speaker 2 right underneath the the rim on both sides, and then they go down, and then everybody else comes out and they don't kill them.

Speaker 2 There's that's a legit, what, 5,000 people all rushing the court and exactly

Speaker 2 10 players.

Speaker 3 The problem with that trapdoor theory is if you did that, you know, you're going to lose a couple guys from the band. You know, like the guy with the tubes going in there over there.

Speaker 2 Kill the nerds, you know what I mean? Like,

Speaker 2 it's the law of attrition, Mr. Becca.
You're going to lose a couple of nerds every year in the silent night. You build it in.
You build the band a little more girthy.

Speaker 2 And then, and it's like Darwinism, you know, like only the strong survive.

Speaker 3 There's a weight requirement for the band. I like that.
I like that a lot. Exactly.

Speaker 1 It's the other team, though. That's the problem.
That's the potential problem.

Speaker 1 Because hopefully, everybody on the other team having a great week, you know, just figured out you failed two classes and it's your last game because it's before Christmas.

Speaker 1 And you swing on this little,

Speaker 1 who is this? Joseph in the manger right here joseph might get clinked up so who knows

Speaker 1 stay safe anyway boy so it's it's a it's boy go taylor boy go taylor boy go as long as you can keep your balance yep if you trip boy stop boy run if you if you're tripping boy run Thank y'all again, man, for tuning in to the Alley Oop.

Speaker 1 Another great episode. Thank you, as always, to Miss Rebecca Donahue if you're nasty.

Speaker 2 I think it's Becky if you're nasty.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 is it Becky if you're nasty, or is it Becca if you're nasty? The Becky.

Speaker 1 Never Becca.

Speaker 3 There's some Becky in there, but there's no Becky. Never Becca.
Never Becca.

Speaker 1 Never Becca, only Becky. You dig.
I like it.

Speaker 3 Or Rebecca. Don't give up with the Rebecca.
We like it. We like it.
See, she likes it. She confuses people.
It confuses people. Because Becky is a very white woman's name.
You know, it's like a Karen.

Speaker 3 It's not good.

Speaker 1 Ply's got a couple of songs shouting those out, the Beckies, but that's neither here nor there.

Speaker 3 So does Beyonce. Becky was a good hair.
Good head. It's not good.

Speaker 1 Damn. It's not good.
Damn.

Speaker 1 Right. Somebody out there, please make a positive Becky song.
Matter of fact, let's get on it. We're going to make a positive Becky song for the year 2026 around here.

Speaker 1 And also, thank you to our brother, the distinguished Dylan. You got to know it, man.
And thank you guys once again for tuning in without y'all. Who the hell is we? You feel me? Same bad time.
