I'm good, man. I'm good. You know, we're going to have a good sports weekend coming up. You know, got the Final Four popping off. You know, we're getting into the hunt where the playoff season is on the line with each NBA game. It's a great time of the year, my guy.

Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
he came back with the pow pow you feel me he came back double double the trouble yeah it's it's wild and you know it's it's a big discussion going on on social media about how how unfair the NBA is being here and dog like look I'll be the first to ride with you when you call them the NBA out on their hypocrisy on their inconsistencies and all that But this ain't it, dog.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
Like, they warned that man yesterday not to do this. And he did it the very next day, dog. Like, I get that people haven't asked the ground on the NBA based with how they do disciplinary actions with serious topics like domestic violence and such and how this doesn't align with with how seemingly lenient they are on that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
I get that, but I feel like this ain't the argument to kind of take that stance on because this ain't about that, dog. This is just an employee not giving a damn about what his boss is telling him he can and can't do. That's all this is, dog.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
Yeah, yeah, he a wild boy, man. He a wild boy. But, yeah, I mean, bro, like, I just think people are taking it way too serious. Like I said, I don't think this is an indictment on Ja. I don't think this is the NBA having an agenda against him. Bro, it's just a worker and his boss seeing how far they can push each other. That's all this is.

Hurt my soul.

Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
I mean, I think 2018 Westbrook would have yammed that, but he ain't got it no more. You know, the lift ain't there. But, yeah, and then the foul on the three. I don't know. I feel like that's more on the rest, but I also feel like, Russ, you shouldn't have even been close, bro. Just keep your feet on the ground and just put your hand up when you run out on the shot like that, bro.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
Yeah, yeah. 37 years old and still incredible. Like, I always knew Steph's game was going to age great because it's a very low-impact game, right? Like, his game revolves around him yanking you and getting space or running around the screen and getting space. Like, he's not a Russell Westbrook who we just described who depended so much on that burst and that explosiveness, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
So I knew his game was going to age well. But for him to just be still, like, still just like a top-five guy at 37 years old, it feels like, right? Like, that's unprecedented, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
I totally agree. I totally agree. He had a 20-assist game. I think it was 50-21-16. 50-16-21 was the stat line. Just, bro, like, I just don't understand why there isn't more talk around Giannis. And I think, me personally, I think Giannis is the second best player in the world. I think only Yogi can do that. Right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
He's a dude who has given us 30-12-6 for the past five seasons and has been an all-defense guy while doing it. He's in the class with, Michael Jordan and Akeem Olajuwon is the only players to ever win MVP and defensive player of the year the same year. And it feels like there's no discussion around him. I don't get it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
I don't know if it's because we all know that Milwaukee is just not doing anything in the postseason. Maybe that's it. Maybe we know that that team ain't going nowhere. You brought Doc Rivers in to try to save you. That's when you know you scrambling, right? But yeah, Giannis is incredible, bro. And like I said, I just don't understand why there's not more discussion around him. Right.

Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
The great cultural commentary movie, as he referred to it. First off, congrats, Sam, for having a daughter on the way. Big shout out to that. Rush Hour, going back to what he said about how it is a great comedy that's rooted in cultural differences, which I wholeheartedly agree on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
The thing is, I see there's a lot of discussion around this movie every so often on Twitter where people are like, you couldn't make a movie like this anymore. Everyone's too PC. I don't think I agree with that because the comedy that was in Rush Hour, of course, it was rooted in and notions of black people and the notions of Asian people. That was the dynamic there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
But there was never anything that was disrespectful or harmful. The comedy there was cracking jokes on the cultural differences rather than than trying to crack jokes on saying that this culture is inferior.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
Yeah, exactly. Exactly that. Exactly that. Like, you'll see people out here, you know, being like, oh, we're having a freedom of speech. We can't, you know, make jokes about black people anymore. It's like, bro, the jokes you're making, for one, they're not funny. And two, they're tired. Jokes have been here in the last 60 years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
Like, you're really out here fighting for your right to make jokes about, like, watermelon and fried chicken. Like, there's nothing funny there. There's nothing insightful there. Like, for one, we're over it. And two, it's not funny. And three, it's coming from a place of disrespect. Right. Which the jokes in Rush Hour did not come from. Right, right. You know what I mean? So, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
You know, there can be... There for sure can be a new, like...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
buddy cop movie with where where the jokes are rooted in the differences of cultures and and and and ethnicities and such but the jokes have to come from a place of genuine goodwill and not disrespectful trying to put you know people down which is what rush hour jokes were never you know what i mean so i think that there can for sure be a movie that emulates the model rush hour in today's

Alley Oop Ep. 4: Ja Morant’s Finger Guns, Giannis Goes Gonzo, and No One Can Stop Steph Curry (feat. Dragonfly Jones)
Yeah. I had that on VHS that summer, and me and my brother and my homie wore that shit into the ground, dog. Yeah.

Yeah, man. You know, like my dog Juju said, holler at us on Jenkins and Jones. We got the YouTube channel. You can find us on Twitter with that handle. Jones is spelled with a Z, not an S. So, man, I appreciate you, Juju. Always good chopping up with you, man. Love what you got going on right here, bro, with Metal Lock, man. Shout out to you.
