listen up real Clear City boys we know how to keep it real 1 2 3 City boy welcome to the City Boy podcast straight out of Austin Texas where a bunch of guys talk about the things we love whether that be sports or whatever the fuck we feel like talking about that day I am your host Jamir got a heart these are my dogs what's up y'all it's your boy Tino follow me on Twin Instagram VS Catrina 44 I'm excited to do this episode what's up y'all it's moon man and we back out here back at it like some crack at it it's your boy stoops we back at it man yes sir yes sir let's tap in to what we known for let's get the vicar in and arguing about sports we is well one NBA conference finals has concluded The Boston Celtics did beat the Indiana Pacers they swept them get the brooms out they swept them that's a sweet that one which I wanna tap in matter of fact I'mma let the Boston Celtics fan get his fuck my shit cause cause my boy right here right next to me you know he yawning but you know he been hating hard but we sweet we sweat the paces you know it's just another day just a quick comparison I don't mean to cut you off just how Jamir hates Luca that's how I feel about the Celtics just pointing that out there bro hey we'll get to that shit bro but hey hey it was it was it was gonna be like that from the gecko I mean to be honest with you like the first game was kind of like it was tough cause you know it was an overtime but the Celtics pulled it out and you know they showed that they got good so I think that was like real like a dagger to the Pacers locker room um but I mean shout out them I mean they they made history for for their team yeah hopefully next season they keep it up we talked about it from the jump we was like they should sweep damn everybody yeah they almost damn near did I think with the Pacers it was just that in their ceiling man Game 1 slipped away there was a lot of turnovers in the last couple of sections that fourth quarter that basically gave moment of the Boston and you know any team in that situation who is going to take advantage of those turnovers to you know make them in a point so but you know shout out to the Indiana they did their thing um hopefully Tyler Hamburg gets better you know hamstring Tyrese I hope he gets better you know hamstring injuries suck ha they they're not a joke uh but you know just to kind of backbone on it like the Celtics were supposed to be there for the gecko that's why everyone had so yeah how about you Tina well I mean it was expected for me or to see Boston come out of the east but I me personally I didn't think they were gonna sweep the bases out I was saying like five maybe six and so I saw I saw a stand on ESPN like three of the four games like the Pacers had to leave and they they just blow it and they can't they can't hold on to it and Boston you know this is the last shot especially with Jason Tatum and Jayla Brown on the team because if not who knows where the team goes from there just before we go really deep down in the Boston itself like the Pacers where do y'all see them going from now on what's next I think Indiana is building something good the addition to see aka my first I was very critical of it cause you know he played Toronto on a bad team and you know of course he was gonna be the diamond in the roof right he seemed to fit a little bit he does man he fits really well in that rotation and then Tyrese is definitely you know even though he missed he lost here but it's still a good learning curve for him and you know the future is definitely there for Indiana if they just remain healthy that's the thing remain healthy that's the only issue it also depends which way they wanna go about it right cause I mean there's different ways to build the team and like like the usual way or you know like now is that you get like at least two all star caliber players and you know just let the and hope that you have a bench a solid bench you know you your your two solid players get you 25 30 buckets a game that's 60 50 buckets and your bench gotta average you at least 50 at least 50 to you know got a chance to go deep in the playoffs and that's what the Celtics has versus what the Pacers our building and our kind of haven't you know they just got to get that bench I mean they got two star players see how come see how come was in how for it on top of the key but like yeah like there's a reason why the Pacers did what they think against the Knicks they shot really well they played really good offensively but you know when Tyrese went down it kind of just you know TJ McConnell did his thing you know the offense was still somewhat good but you know when you're missing your key piece like it's just hard you know it it always is but they do got a bright future in Indiana I just like I said the thing thing for me is I just hope they don't get hit with the injury bug cause that's what derails the team but we all agreed at the well I don't agree but we all know of course you don't that of course you don't the faces have a bright future no why don't you not agree with the faces like do you not the faces Haliburton gots to clean up the mistakes and I feel like he's a good he's a good playmaker he's good in that role but I don't feel like you want him to be always in that role you want somebody else to be able to take the ball off his hand sometimes he doesn't seem like the player that if you keep the ball on him the whole time he's gonna win you games consistently I just feel like they got in trouble with that sometimes when he has mistakenly turned over the ball and late critical moments like you can say those are young mind mistakes but I just think just gets he needs a little help he that's that's that's how I feel like you know in Game 1 against Boston like if homie doesn't like fumble the ball and then you know it goes out of bounds like he's shooting free throws and Pacers win the game you know you know so that's what happened I guess he's 24 years old you know he's a young buck this was his first taste of like you know almost there and sky's the limit for these guys I just think they need they need the strive to get another guard another good guard they had a guard that got hurt didn't they they needed him right now I think I think they did I don't know they needed somebody else with the ball handling cause one nigga everybody not Luca I'm glad you say that I think I'm glad you say that I think my 2 cents on the pages I think the trade for Seattle was a step to the right direction it's just it all depends like where they want to go with it and I like what Freddy said you know create a good bench role players and you can like sub in and out so that way when one player goes down you're not you know in panic mode because you still got key pieces to contribute to the team but let's go to the is you still what you got like you know just to kind of end the topic on the Celtics run um you know I'm not trying to throw shade on them because they are the No. 1 see that means he's about to throw shade I mean whatever he said he said he's not to throw shade but he's about to throw shade yeah so go ahead throw it throw it the Celtics did beat up teams that were that did have players hurt you know Miami did have Jimmy Buckets you know how important he is against the Celtics that's kryptonite to Superman against the Cavs Mitchell got hurt yeah Jay Allen he was hurt he didn't play at all you know your excuse was that Portuguese was gonna be like a big key factor in this Pacers games and obviously you were off so I mean I hate to say it bro but like I mean it's just the ease it's a weak it's a weak division bro like that's just it the Celtics are just that much better I just feel like that's just it if Rasinga's not playing was a factor cause Siakam was getting buckets on our offer game right but even regardless we pulled through for sure but if it wasn't for mistakes by Tyrese we be talking different game we pulled through we forced I get you and I I understand it's not about who who if he wasn't there he was there game 1 and he he I mean he tried but he couldn't yeah you fumble yeah he was he was in the book I'm not gonna say he wasn't he was he was the only one getting a bucket but you just wasn't but the game wasn't enough like I said the games that I seen from Boston it was like I said obviously once Tyrese got hurt you know they took over then who else from the east would win nobody Celtics are in there cause everybody's hurt I had to sometimes lose you wouldn't be like oh you lost even though someone so wasn't playing look because all this animosity and all this shade all this hate that you got towards it's not even hate it's just look it's not even hate it's just it's like it's why The Atlanta Hawks got the No. 1 pick at 2% it's not even hate it's just it's just it's not even hate I'm just convinced that this Boston Celtics just aren't don't have the team around to win a championship we'll find out this is the finals we're gonna find out man we'll find out man we're in the finals we'll see maybe I need y'all to make the playoffs cause if y'all do that pick come to San Antonio let's see still a long way from there but let's go to the west did y'all really that's what y'all really want to talk about yeah yeah so let me take point you know I'm saying the Western Conference Finals Dallas Mavericks are up 3 0 against the Minnesota Timberwolves the game is actually in the background right now y'all can't see it and Dallas somehow took the lead last time I looked over there was 42 30 hey that was up and now it's 45 42 this is bullshit but anyway anyway Luca is getting lucky buckets nah shut the hell up shut up shut up Luca is getting buckets buckets lucky okay oh man now this antagonist man is getting sold by call Anthony Towns but we've been knowing that call Anthony Towns but he wasn't playing like that in the last two series so you come here in a biggest series that you you really need to settle down and lock in and you sell him cause what's happening I'll let y'all go after I get on that you gotta go ahead bro what's happening is that they clogging the paint and I get messages from motherfuckers motherfuckers messaging me talking about Luca got 5 steals like he played amazing defense he does not play good defense he does not he has a good defense of team where niggas can't go to the paint it's easy to play defense when all you got to do is guard 2 feet nobody going nowhere cause they can't go in the paint he can't play no defense all right so I'm not trying to hear this defense shit all right now now now now if you're watching this keep bugging Jamir and fuck the Dallas man but in all in all Timberwolves are 7 shut the fuck up hey hey y'all got it y'all got it y'all got it man y'all got it who talking this shit I mean bro go ahead bro go ahead anyway like we've been look G Heinz said it perfectly bro cat was gonna be missing like you can't count on him to get buckets bro like for some reason I don't know he went soft you know I know a lot of stuff has happened to him in the last couple years but man he's gone soft man like step it up like even Ruby go bear bro like he's still out there like you know he's getting fouls right cause but he's out there like getting rebounds and like trying to do something you cannot go for for 32 don't give us that bullshit that you shot 15 shots in practice that's absolute bullshit like don't don't be saying that cause you just look dumb cause that is not translating on the court at all it is not and but all credit to credit is do I said it from you know the last couple episodes Kyrie was gonna step up the man who won a championship ring with Cleveland and now he's doing his part to lead with Luca to the Promised Land and Luka is just getting buckets bro give him some fucking respect bro I don't wanna hear this shit no more I only only no more no more no more only respect I give him is he played this is his best series so far in the playoff if I had to give out series MVPs that like they give out conference championship MVP of course Luca will win this one but last series will be PJ and the first series would be Kyrie yeah it's Luca has not been the best player on a team and most of the games until now that's true who cares I care because people people you know I'm saying explicitly blow you know blowing this dude like he's just a coldest dude if y'all can see the messages he be sending us when Luka goes out bro I think I think it's facts like it's facts it's like Luka finally woke up like Luka in the playoffs finally woke up he's playing like he was playing like in throughout the whole regular season now like this is when he needed to show up cause imagine like the last series at the the I'm sorry I don't know why I'm screaming the last series at the Minnesota Timberwolves the last series that they played they played the Nuggets so I think Kat played his best game of his lives those series and you know he just they underestimated the match and they said wow we just we beat the champs this is gonna be like a cakewalk nah nah nah Kyrie Eaton and Luka and Luka is exploiting the defense hard like all of them are exploring the defense you know yeah but I mean now that they're missing lively who knows they might have a shot you know just because you know Luka wasn't putting up PJ numbers or even fucking Kyrie numbers he was still getting triple triple a triple double in those series bro the most inefficient inefficient inefficient double don't get on don't don't talk to me about a 19 he had 18 19 point triple double with eight turnovers and shot 6 for 20 that is absolutely horrendous and then okay fuck that triple double okay that was ass that was a horrible triple double you shooting 6 for 20 I don't wanna hear about you playing a good game 6 for 20 is not a good game that is not a good game you know I'm checking here he got a dub that game he did not play good hey PJ Washington probably that nigga is not looking up I know he was but one thing I know y'all all can say is as he played in the series what have I said about him after the games how about all I said on Fogwort I never said he played bad in one of these games I'm not you can go check the receipt I have not said he's played bad in no no no he hasn't cause he's played good every single day Jamir Jamir has kept quiet Jamir has kept quiet throughout this series I will say that is true that's shitty 4 for 12 right now he watching the game 4 for 12 that's absolutely shitty bro so I don't wanna hear about the nigga playing good that's shitty you missing a bunch of your choice of game but the team is winning that's the team it's a tight game that's a tight game it's a tight game but like when he gets getting to cross that he be making the shots but we gonna see yeah because it's not we gonna see because we did see you he hit he hit a couple of in the last two games who hit the dagger is PJ Washington PJ Washington hits the corner 3 wide open after that was last game that was last game in the game before that no PJ Washington has hit the lake corner 3 and that that that's like he played in niggas because they playing defense and they throw the blitz yeah exactly that's the only shot the nigga been making same 3 same 3 Luca double team them they swing the ball out hit PJ in the corner they cash a 3 8 up by 8 and it's like 2 minutes to go that was Game 3 that was Game 3 but it's not Luca y'all grinding and dick the only guy the only only time I give it to him was the buzzer beater the late game shot I will say like the difference between the last couple series and what Luca is doing now is he's finally not taking the sport shot choices like homie saying and he's finally exploiting that pass that someone is open cause they're rushing him there's a blitz and someone's open guess what that's always at the bucket lively getting hit right there boom easy but but y'all all y'all all agree except me that Dallas Mavericks are going to the finals of course they are are y'all champions are they your championship favorites oh yes Celtics fan bro I mean both teams have a long ass mode that was a long ass I had to think about it it's cool I personally think both teams kind of deserve it you know like the yeah technically rivals to the Spurs but this is like the only rival I can say I have respect for like going back when they had Durg and Jay Z Kid and all them and then you know Boston I can't I mean I'm not like this over here like I can't really hate Boston you know and plus I want to see you know Freddy be happy with his team winning the chip but but I I want to see the Mavs win it all because all the hate you give Lucas saying that he would never win a ring and I'm I'm just like okay you know we don't see you know cause he's he's one step closer he is he's me personally Celtics fan I want the Celtics to win but I wouldn't be mad at the man's win I you know I would say I I hope Luca plays out of his mind so that way if we do win like we just beat the coldest motherfucker in the NBA just like we have always you know in the final it's not it's not a hatred on Freddy like I would what he saw his team win in 2008 one more he won again one more he won another one baby what the fuck does he want more bro but anyway I just think you know strategically the the west is strong bro like the fact that the the mouse are gonna sweep the fucking Timberwolves tonight like it just it just proves to the point that the west is too strong and Luca is the face of the the fucking NBA and you know he's he's the go in the making bro look at that bro look at that slam dunk bro wank wanker Timberwolves Timberwolves are 7 but I think they're gonna be totally exhausted after coming back and beating them ass that the Celtics all my favorite to win because they just gonna have the battle of exhausted Timberwolves team can I believe this crap and that's just gonna happen man it's just gonna go crazy why why is the history real bro when Luca is doing the exact same things Russell Westbrook is doing but he's winning he's winning that's the thing that is the problem he's doing the exact same thing Russell Westbrook did except Russell Westbrook got gets crucified for stat padding and doing all the shit that he was not doing he's not doing nothing brand new Russell Westbrook went to the finals too Russell Westbrook been in conference finals multiple times too he's not doing nothing that the nigga already did but he gets praised blowed everybody loves him he's this he's the greatest Russ did this shit already he he he made two in all NBA's he won an MVP award he went to the finals he made countless all star team he he's been a scoring champion he LED the league in assist triple doubles in all that but he was that pattern this nigga not he shoot horrible just like Russ he turned over the ball just like Russ but he's praised for so until somebody explains to me why he get praised over a nigga who did the exact same thing but better why why are y'all blows why are y'all loving this dude so much the only thing on this team rush the same rush is the same thing Rusty the only thing there we go let's go what did how did rush not get the team involved what do you mean cause you're always saying the team is trash and he feel like he has to do everything by himself he LED the do you know what being an assist leader is losing it passing the ball to other niggas is more bro yeah because he said with Luka he has the ball like damn near 90% of the time and rush at one point was too no I'm talking about rush like that's what I'm saying they both did the same thing so what's the difference he doesn't look at doesn't have a team to complain about when they lose so I don't so that's the difference when so when Luka plays bad or like he doesn't win or whatever it's all it's his teammates rush average the triple double with Paul the coach but when it's Luca it's Luca pin point Luca's fault just like when it was Dame when Dame fails oh it's Dame when it's Chris Paul oh Chris Paul's trash but when it's rush team was city that's just the point that's just the fact sorry Luca Luca sorry Luca when rush but you know when rush play with Paul George MVP Canada when Russ played with Bradley Bill scoring champion when Russ played with KD and VP award so how is he not a good teammate but he's lifting other niggas up to perform better than him Lucas Daniel in the western conference finals and Russ is getting bounced first round cause he's 30 what 3 thirty four then this nigga 25 25 year old Russ 25 Luca let's see who win we can never see that so like but I thought I thought Russ gets his teammates better he's old as fuck he's older and coming off the bench he's older and coming off the bench who has a bigger role on their team right now cause he's washed right now he's washed and let's go ha ha what the fuck ha ha ha ha so so he just he's just he's just watching spicy yeah so is that about the argument right now to their performance if he's watching then we should be comparing them in their prom right right right yeah so I agree who was higher at their prom who was the NVP candidate in their prom who average a triple double in their prom okay but it look look where Lucas at right now in the Western Conference finals Russia went there when he had who KD Sergiovaca he went more than once he went like what twice two or three times I think with the rockets twice didn't they go with the rockets no no no they almost did right two times two times and then but he went to the rhinos though yeah he did he did nothing that they not did nothing different oh yeah and I wasn't I wasn't trashing Russ then but but it's ever since Katie and all these guys left that that you say that Luca gets all his praise but that's all I felt about Russ I didn't I didn't see this praise like that it mean for us like and I'll go say right now I still don't think he should have won MVP it should have been Kawhi Leonard because he played I'm a sparse fan and Kawhi Leonard shouldn't have won it no I went to average like 25 points he had dared rose numbers didn't don't deserve it hey hold on I did Kawhi but I think an MVP should be able to play both sides of the bar and that's what Kawhi did the MVP to me is valuable by literally the what the word award says most valuable player most important player literally if you take rust off that team the team ain't shit team ain't shit but absolutely not shit oh that but that we need that that has the squad that the Spurs had Kawaii was the biggest contributor bro yeah but they had the Marcus Audrey's they had they had niggas playing like they wasn't the best yeah Audrey's like I mean I love I love Audrey's they made the playoffs even after Kawhi with lodges but you can't argue the first round like got bounced you just can't argue like that was a record breaking here like Oscar Robertson numbers like yeah Russell and then like he didn't only make the playoffs they went to 6C so he had them decent and when you pull him off that team they are out of out they're out because the system in that team was just depending on Russ that's his fault a nigga left he no actually no he got traded so it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't his choice he was a restricted free agent but he wasn't gonna come back he requested a trade because they found out they were gonna train them to the Raptors both him and Paul George now I'm talking about KD cause the award came before Paul George got there yeah yeah it was even Katie left after Katie left before Paul George got there yeah yeah man like we we just comparing both I just feel like you know let's get let's get to it we can come back to it man Russ is the greatest point guard in the top 5 cause he's better than he's better than Damien Lillard he's better than Chris Paul he's better than you got a point guard Derek Rose you got he's better than Rosario Rondo no you cannot say that no you cannot say that you cannot say that what the you put the numbers next to him Lakers the late bro he won a championship with the Lakers I don't wanna hear that congratulations Rondo two championships more than more than Westbrook will ever see but what were the individual numbers the individual performance though okay well let's talk let's talk teams right let's talk teams right let's talk teams right let's talk teams come on dog don't start this I'm not backing it up with actual facts I love rose I love rose but not not the Rondo not the Rondo comparison it is what it is if Rondo never got hurt Rondo was cold but he was rush hit a height rush hit a height individually that Rondo never alright alright so besides besides Rondo besides Rondo I would say Kyrie Irving is a better way better point guard than rush thank you thank you but the accolades don't line up the accolades don't line up cause look LeBron needed Kyrie I'm taking away the MVP award even if you take away the MVP which definitely puts them in a different tier he still levels above these niggas with the assist champion he won a scoring title only Alan sorry Dougie you talking you talking to the wrong person you talking to the wrong person I care about championships I feel it you talking to you you talking I talk I care about championship my name is conference champion and if we go he is he is if we go individual stats he is he kill all of them niggas he we got in in the individual act like I don't think he kills Kyrie I think I think Kyrie put some I think Kyrie put some on skates bro I think he out rebounds Kyrie I think he out bounces Kyrie I don't think I don't think he Pat like like we don't we don't end it cause we can go on forever a problem no you're right you're right even Gilbert Arena said a prime Rustbrook could with the best player on both ends of the floor he can guard every guard he could you know who guarded Steph Curry in the converse finals and why Clay Thompson had to save them it wasn't Steph it was Clay who had them on Clint rush who guarded Rush Admiral Clinton Steph Curry was he could guard any point guard in his prom any point guard Kyrie Kyrie guarded Steph in the championship and won it his FS that was still John Kyrie didn't really guard him no Kyrie Kyrie Kyrie put points on him and he was and he was put I mean that's that's that's throwing Luka shit like 2 twice or three times like a 15 second video yeah I love I love both players I love both players I love both players and 34 he watched no no throw that shit up out of there personally personally I think why why can't nobody get to the pain look where his shoes are I think I think you're right I think you're right Luca is not there yet wait wait says what about when Luca locked up with us Luca they beat Luca does not play good defense i'mma kill that narrative right now he does not he does not he just does not he plays he's he's played better defense overall but the team has been an amazing defensive team yeah nobody can get to the paint in this whole playoff run nobody can effectively drive to the paint on the game too nobody was scoring on him though against the Clippers no way that's bullshit that's just luck that's just luck everybody have one game where a nigga don't make a shot on a nigga now I'm pretty sure a nigga in 2 seconds finna get a bucket when he guard them like this nigga do not play good defense he's never made a I don't know why he does not play good defense like they guard a nigga one time he told me he's made good defense on rust like what okay rust gotta get to the rim and it's gathered is sitting in a pain so he can't get to the rim it's not rust it's not him stopping if it's an ISO game I'm pretty sure my nigga don't go to the rim it's not it's not because of him it's because the nigga can't shoot rust can't shoot I'm a rust man rust can't shoot but if you give him a clear lane he go get to the rim he don't got no clear rain cause they're they're gaffered they're glad we all the niggas is standing there like this and nobody pulling them out that's why nobody has beaten them ass this whole series nobody is pulling them big niggas out that's all they need to be fair though the Mavs have been playing to be fair the Mavs have been playing top 10 defenses this whole playoffs though man yeah I mean they've been playing the best defensive teams out there and they've been destroying their own defense now they they have also been playing really good like you know you gotta get props to Jason Kidd Jason Kidd is just fucking phenomenal management bro the management team for the Mavs are playing fucking like they're just playing the cards right like they just played the cards right and they're they got it right now like the first two rounds like not even the sugar not even to be little what the Mavs have done they were match of advantages yeah and they just looked up into a match of advantage against two teams with one big man versus their 3 4 and now they in that situation where that should have been neutralized but the one big man that should be making the difference on that team it's not neutralizing it he's playing shitty cat playing shitty so they got their advantage again they will win the whole championship if nobody can ever pull them out the paint you gotta pull Daniel Gafford Derek Lavie out the paint I thought cat would do it cat selling I thought Chad would do it Chad only had one game where he made 3 pointers literally game 1 they won he ain't make no shit no arrest address the game Zuba killed them in Game 1 in the first series that's the only time it mattered now once again if they go to the finals it's the big man battle who wins I don't give a fuck about what Luke and them do it's the big man battle who wins cause nobody can go to the pain like you see Jalen Brown can go to the rat on a clear lane no big man out there cause Mile Turner's out there and you know I mean uh Al Hurford out there and Al Mile Turner has to go out there so cause if he he gonna catch that 3 so you see a highlight reel of Jalen Brown going to the paint and no nigga is down there that's non existent with the Maz right now who knows what we can change the cap or it plays effect all I know is like come first time could be could not be different but you gotta get ready to look us do Luca is a good player bro I get I get I just I was never on I knew Luca was a good player but I wasn't on this like I was on this high train like I'm not like tweeting but that's what I'm here and that's why I backlash against him it's cool but they just got to stand on that yeah I'mma continue I'mma stand on it bro stand on that shit bro stand on that shit I won't show him up he said look it would never win a race I want to remember that for real I said if he went out I'm gonna give it to his prop but like y'all heard in this whole debacle the reason why I hate that man so hard because I swear Russell Westbrook did the same shit and y'all crucify oh he doing this he doing that no the numbers if you put them side by side it's the same shit so I don't understand why this nigga getting blow why this nigga not for the record guys never never debunked Russ always loved Russ got so much support for him I just think I just think Luca is on his way I don't think he's there yet he's just on his way you know he just got to get it you know once he gets that championship is over like I can't I can't put Russ over him anymore but until then Russ is the better player against career wise yeah career wise yes yeah but but even in a promises yeah but but but but but it's true let's go let's talk about what let's talk about how we why we able to argue argue this long and this heated and still remain loving friends F is for friends who do stuff together u is for you and me so we've been friends since middle school yes all 4 of us yes my dog Tina he the one been asking for this episode where we all just tap into our friendship so I wanna start with that granular question damn how important is friendship to y'all think of friendship for me especially with you guys you know it's been over a 10 year relationship we've been through so much with each other um what you see here is what we do on the daily like we just non stop talk shit to each other about each other's steams and everything from soccer to basketball everything the whole shebang bang but you know it's just that karate man we just been through so much together so much bro it's just like we're brothers like you know I I grew up you know as a single child and you know these guys became my brothers when you know we were playing sports and stuff and it just it became you know a family here thanks thanks big family man hey relationships bro I mean this is this is where it all started man this is where it all started for me you know like big time like honestly honestly I don't know like I I met Tino first and then y'all came in but like web web was just like you know we're talking middle school like I'm sorry my middle school but I am we all went to the same middle school so what middle school was like a big a big factor in my life cause like that's where like I met all of you guys you know and you know and we we share so many moments whether that was in in training you know practice or even like in game modes you know like we was out there you know battling and you know we spent more times at school than we did at home so that's why we're family man sports season was over like there was no football soccer basketball track whatever and all that was over is like kind of just like looting each other what do we do now you know we stay at the school for some you know yeah so whether you know whether we go to like Highland Mall or catch a movie like that reality yeah it's just like we had that feeling like we gotta do something and just go straight home what about you man what about you man yeah man friendship is major I feel like it's a human need for everybody and just I'm lucky to meet you all y'all bro cause I didn't come to the web after out the gate I was in the young science program back at Barrington yeah elementary Barrington yeah and I pulled up seventh grade and the first guy I met out of y'all was Tino and I remember in football was a thing but I was an introvert didn't really talk to nobody but I met him and Mr Munoz munojez yeah munojez yeah I remember that yeah math class bro and we just I think we bonded on Ti first bro yeah Tia yeah before Tia at the time was the best rapper best rapper in the last time and then after that we just he connected me with y'all and I think Tina was the guy who was the link he was the link because when I got to web I transferred from uh from uh from the valley I moved up north and um I basically um I sit in this table and it was Tino 6th grade Tino Bradley's my con and all these guys and he's welcome me man and we just end up talking about sports and that's how it started man crazy bro we didn't dance so much together football we play football I think Freddie even touched football a little bit didn't he eight grade though eight grade eight grade not seven grade but I'm saying but eight grade yeah yeah what's that basketball we know we took basketball sears you know who is a bucket who's who they try they will try to play us but we was a bucket out there who's going down the dog team oh shit bro so why why we're on this topic like what's a favorite web middle school memory that you can think of like because it was sports or in a class or what was that I'll be careful what you say don't get none of the teachers fired not yet there's just so many from times like being in basketball and you know fucking Bradley going going backwards on the back was that during the game too oh my God like I love Bradley we all love Bradley here you know shout out to Bradley but Bradley was he was that dude bro can just make you laugh out of nowhere bro and uh his cambrady was kind of you know you know we all went to his crib like Bradley's Bradley's crib was just like another home to us you know his family welcomed us and you know Bradley was just that dude that like our other brother that's not here but yeah he was awesome but anytime Bradley you know we hung out with Bradley yes Bradley just know that you would leave there with like a memory bro a memory Bradley was doing some dumb shit I've been knowing Bradley since elementary and I got like tons of stories I can remember really I remember again I mean this is like a memory right I remember this one vividly cause we had like a at web we had like a little place called the dungeon and in the dungeon it was like it wasn't anything like sexual anything like that just chill out but it was like it was just like an underground level of the basement of the school and I remember one time after school it was me Tino James Juan and Bradley and they decided to race like a turtle race and I guess Tina was on on on James back and Bradley was Juan was on Bradley's back and so they're chopping right and fucking boom boom boom boom boom I'm sitting at the end and Juan lost control he tripped James over bro fuck out of here boom bro this bitch it's and Tino's on top of him bro yeah like to like maintain his balance but he just fell and I just told I just told James I was like bro keep going you're in the clear like oh you know and then next you know like I just hear like footsteps from Riley he's like catching up like James you know meet me on the back room like when James fell stomach first like I like bounced off and I was like boom ha ha alright for me personally I don't want to say something that's too obvious it's like you had to be there you know I mean Freddy Freddy knows but to give context there has been some random times that me and Freddy would just have these dumb pointless arguments over something you know I mean and it was athletic period in eighth grade and and then we just we were just talking shit to each other and then James and Montrell shout out to Montrell by the way they were just like why are y'all just like Slap Box for it and then he just looked at each other like what's up and then someone had the timer but I knew James was like like kind of like the Rev for the whole thing is I ready go and me and favorite just like look times like we both so dumb at the time but like looking back at that shit was funny oh I think we left it off yeah yeah I think I think we left this shit off bro like I think I think it was for like a minute and it was a hard time I was like hey good shit bro like haha dab it up memories but I got too many but unfortunately minds are all like sports related because that's what I am hell yeah that's what I was engraved in like too hard in middle school so like I moms would be probably the desi bootleg I mean coach Dela Garza gave him the play and I thought he was going to I was going to yeah we're waiting for the play and I think Desi came to the huddle he said he said fuck that fuck that play he said look he's like Jamir here i'mma i'mma fake it out to you and i'mma run the other way okay what coach says ready ready that's what he did what did you do hey we ran that plate and he broke for like 20 30 yards and coach couldn't be mad coach couldn't be mad wait does he but I remember that shit bro yeah bro cause I remember like in front of my like uh thing was Dion shout out to Dion by the way uh Dion was about to come in and you just see real house and uh now he was like hey come here come here come here they don't even know what we called but yeah like you said coach can't be mad bro you can't be mad got the first got the first down and then another one would just be us how we used to hoop every morning hey and go to class all sweaty sweaty I don't care about that like that shit we ain't give a fuck bro I'm gonna fuck it bro then I got so many memories of this kid just whatever the fuck he doing whether he whether he beat people up no man's gonna be thrown but he beating people up in the hallway and I gotta pull them off or he kissing somebody shawty in the back of the school one of the other like Edwin was a mess troublemaker bro from the gecko man why are you ragging on me bro God but now hey also shout out to Daniel oh man I remember one time me and Daniel got in detention and we was at a coach real house's room and rose was pissed I don't know something happened right but he was just pissed like I don't wanna hear no fucking sound and um and Danny was jamming he likes he stinks some some headphones and he was jamming to some fucking song bro some emo song and he was just like oh and he was just like oh you know just you know contagious bro and then he just next thing you know he just went like and I fell for some like for some reason my table fell like it was already tipping and I fell dude Rojas just went off bro and we just started laughing the shit but shout out to Daniel too bro Daniel's also one of my brothers here too so just to pone in what is the key like what helped us stay friends for so long like what is kept us together what do y'all think me personally I I felt like well played a big part is like to middle school it's like everybody knew everybody I got like especially like our particular uh class like you like even you know chicks and dudes that you don't even talk to is just like everybody knows everybody and once we like found our circle it's just like I don't know how to really explain it but like it's like once we found our circle is like we kind of don't want to let it go you know I mean so like even when we we all went to different high schools for the most part so even when we went to different high schools like we still try to keep that connection that we have from web and I thought we did a damn good job at that I think I think it sparks with like similar interest right like you know obviously the biggest thing like we all play sports you know we are I think like I said we all spend so much time together not just during school but like shit after school too you know we was doing crazy shit you know going down the Highland Mall and she ain't there no more by the way for all you young as I know about that shit ACC Highland now that used to be a mall but she was fucking live you know we used to go play at the game stop you know used to play the fucking little and see double a games and shit like that you know they had a little trials but I think it was like just really just that you know like like what Tina was saying like we had that small friend group and just didn't allow anybody to like break it or like any outsiders in you know and whoever was in you got out that was kind of it like you know we didn't really like talk to like or like you know it was more like an acquaintance at that point now I think one thing that we had is just we had a lot of love for each other and you know even though we did go you know separate you know schools and what not every time we hit each other up on social media we're just seeing each other you know that Cambodia was still there and you know just that feeling of checking up was always there and even to this day like you know man like you ask somebody like man your friends with somebody for like 10 years like yeah man like I'm blessed like I've had a relationship with a good group of people for this long time and it's all thanks to you know you know us just you know having love for each other you know being there for each other cause you know growing up um I'm sorry I was I was I was I didn't mean to interrupt you but this is like I think Jamir is like a big attest to what he was saying you know like I think Jamir like you know Jamir we had like a little you know play happened in eighth grade and Jamir unfortunately couldn't finish the year with us but I mean even then you know like shit years down the road you went down you went to different high school you went to the different college but and then here look at us we're still here fucking together rocking it bro like we never fucking left you know we picked the rock back up where it dropped I just know nowadays it's hard to find real friends like like you hit it right on the button like the one thing I always say and always think is that a real friendship the feeling between that in that friendship is never gonna change no matter how many times and that's when you know you have a real genuine friendship you know I'm saying that you got a real friend like you can spend as many times as many long as a time is a way apart from each other but every time I talk to Tino no matter how long it had been high school college it was the same we talked about the same shit the same vibe same thing with y'all when we got back together same vibe same shit like we never less like we still at the cafeteria table thanks bullshit bro thanks and that talk about like the hot topic for sports yeah bro and that's important bro cause it keeps you grounded keeps you secure keeps you human makes you reminiscent still had that kid vibe all the time with you you know what I'm saying trust me I feel like a kid every time with y'all man y'all be y'all be y'all be hearing the shit I be saying sometimes like you know what I'm saying like like everybody need that bro you need that for your sanity everybody's not cap like like I I've had good friends in high school and even moving forward in college but like it's just when it comes to like my middle school friendships are even elementary but specifically with these guys like it's just something that I it's just like not just a lead but like very top tier that allow I have to put above anything else I don't think I'm being honest but I have a heart to heart moment here bro like I honestly I don't think I could put anybody above y'all guys for reals for reals like this shit like for reals for reals like that's how deep this shit goes like you guys are out there and you guys are gonna stay there you know so it's important bro like I don't I can't I don't even try to picture it cause I can't picture it you know what I'm saying it's like y'all will always be a part of my life no matter what I got going when I'm old saggy in my wheelchair but I'm still gonna be calling you talking shit don't argue about Russell Westbrook haha Daniel like retired 50 years ago Russell Westbrook you gonna be dead probably by that time I don't remember Westbrook hey I still got that one picture I had in the back of my day it was a stone cold killer oh God I think it just goes back to like you know your circle you know does wonders for your man for for you mentally and you know physically like you know we support each other like hey get your workout in go get you go get right and whenever we're not at the gym like hey what you doing to get better you know like I said a couple of episodes ago when we first started this like whatever since we started this you know it's giving me a sense of like urgency like I'm just on top of things man and uh that's what I'll you know just giving me um just being done on shit for everything so no I I I gonna give you credit too cause I feel like without you like I wouldn't be as close as I am to like Tay Rodney uh Devon even face everybody like don't I mean like yeah I did to call me for like that small period but like I feel like without you like I probably wouldn't be talking to him still
