Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yeah, yeah, he's doing a lot better. I mean, it was a scary moment, you know, it's... You know, teenage kids, when they get these cars, you know, you kind of get worried about them sometimes. You know, 4 a.m. Oh, is it 5? It's about 5 a.m. He's coming back from working out before he went to school. He said the car computer just malfunctioned. Oh, shit. And then ran into a fire hydrant and tree.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Damn.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yeah, he's going to USC next year, and UCLA saved his life, so that's going to be interesting, right?
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Um, when it comes to like in the making, it actually wasn't that long. Um, I really didn't care two shits about it. Um, and you know, when I heard your vars is coming out because he, because he was in and it was 23 years, it was like, ah, you know, I'm not going to tell a one-sided story. You know, both parties need to be there. So, you know, it was put on the back burner.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Um, when it comes to the details of the story itself, the locker room, it was pretty accurate. Um, You know, that's why I was joking so much during the time it happened. Like, it was a typical day. I mean, you know, I know the guns, but it was a typical day in the locker room, a Wizards locker room.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
But I was intrigued on what happened to him after, because sometimes when situations like that happen, you go down two paths, right? You can hide from the world or you can be, Superman.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I mean, even even after like, you know, this wasn't an enemy. This is was one of the closest guys on the team with me. Right. Every time we was on a road trip, he had come to my room, order food. Right. And we just chop it up and, you know, just talk about life and basketball and training. So, you know, he was the closest guy to me besides like Nick Young. So, you know, our beef.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
mostly came because I didn't like the way he was talking to our teammates. Right. Why? Why he was losing money. So that's really how it started. So like even right after once I realized, man, you know, if we do If the NBA do call us, I'll just take all the blame. So, you know, they didn't use the text messages where I text them. I think it was, like, December, like, 21st, 2009.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Like, yo, if the NBA comes in, just blame me. You didn't have no gun. I'll take full responsibility for this. And then, you know, when his mom got... I think she needed a surgery. You know, everybody kind of, like, turned it back on him. I'm the one who helped pay for it. So... I've been there, you know, the whole time.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
You know, we went probably like a year without talking because he was mad at me because something I probably text on Instagram joking around. But I bought all of his cell phones that got him put in the hole, right, for the last, you know, Eight years, I was supplying him his cell phones.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I will shoot one hit. It wasn't even a rule. It was just one of those things that, so it started with Roger Mason. So for some reason, they had this idea that Roger Mason was a better college high school three-point shooter than me because they felt that, oh, you only shoot threes, well, today's basketball, threes and layups. Right. So I said, what are you talking about? I bet 20 grand.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I will beat him. I'll blow him out. Right. So we was in Boston, went to a gym, beat him. And then while I was bragging, Deshaun Stevenson started talking. So I said, bro, I'll beat you with one hand. I'll bet you 20 that. And then, you know, other people took that bet on his side, which was weird. Right. So we bet 20, and I beat him with the one hand. I didn't take the money, though.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Jesus.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yes. Oh, yeah. That was a few years later. I was here in Los Angeles. Yeah. He didn't show up. I think I went 90, probably went 95, 96 from three.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yeah, when you're in an open gym, it's literally everyone is a great shooter. You know, it's practice shooting. You're in your own comfortable environment. You probably got earphones on, right? The gym is smaller, so it's not this wide open space. What happens is some people can't translate The crowd, the atmosphere, the bigger arena, they don't know how to gauge the distance.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
And, you know, as much as I shot in a practice gym, I shot in the NBA gym also. So like night before games, I'll have them put the floor down and one rim up and I'll sit there and shoot thousands of shots.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
The star players are doing what star players do, right? The Jokic, the Shays, the Brunsons, right? The star players, they just have a different game. What analytics has done has taken players that shouldn't touch the ball, right, that shouldn't shoot the ball, this freedom of shot. Right. Right, where you have your fourth or fifth best player on the court,
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
allowed to shoot four or five threes, right? Like, we have to get this total of 50 threes. And then you start looking around like, okay, if I'm Tatum, okay, I got eight of them. Brown, you got eight. Hey, coach, we need about 40-something more. Where are we going to get them from? And then, like, Derek White raising his hand, like, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, guy. You got paid for defense.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Play defense, right? You're not going to be chucking 10 threes up. And that's what ended up happening in this new analytic where they're trying to –
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yeah, every time I've watched them lose, it's the same motto. They're going 10 for 60, 15 for 45. It's not very great shooting percentage from the three-point line. It's like these guys are living and dying by a... Three pointer. Yeah, you're going to go up 20, but you get caught easily. Right.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
It's not like you're, you know, you're going up by 20 and then now beating them to the basket and, you know, getting this free throw like it's threes or layups. And right now they're just living on threes. And I said it last year. I said the kiddies heels is if they have these horrible shooting nights from a three point line, they don't actually take enough twos. Right. to cushion that.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
And you play, you know, I argued, if you play a team like Giannis, Giannis plays old school basketball. He's going to get you in foul trouble. He's trying to make layups. They're going to beat you. Right. You play against Brunson. Brunson plays old school basketball. He's going to layups mid-ranges, try to get you in foul trouble. He's a foul baiter.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
And in last five minutes, he's the closest thing we have to Mamba mentality. Right. The real Mamba mentality, like, you know, from 96 to before he passed, not after he passed and it became, you know, a watered down version of what Mamba mentality was. The Mamba mentality, the selfish thing no one liked, that killer mentality that wants to take over the world.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
That's what Brunson has in the last five minutes.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Last year is last year. And, you know, we have a new year playing against a new enemy. And this enemy is... has came back twice while we were up 20. Yeah, we're up 20, but we're losing at the end, so we're doing something wrong. Me, personally, as a coach, I've watched us lose and how we've lost. For some reason, you guys don't realize that we've missed five or six threes in a row.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
One of you guys go make a layup. Right. Beginning of the game, first person to shoot a fucking three,
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
out i'm subbing you out i don't care who it is at this point because i need i need to reverse engineer what they're doing because obviously they're closing out on a three they're playing for the three jason tatum they nicks went up jason tatum literally inbound the ball got it back in full court layup yeah Like that's how easy it's been. You just go to the basket. Yeah. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
You remember, you remember the hardest team that, that people don't, no one really paid attention to was the second year or LeBron's first championship with Miami. When him and D Wade said, yo, we're not shooting threes this year. Yeah. Yeah. And did you see how hard they were guard? Because when LeBron drove, D-Wade dived, they was doing this double lob type of play.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
And nobody was ready for two guys with 40-inch verticals slashing and dunking. That team was really hard to guard. And I... That was the best LeBron. And, you know, they put it in their minds. We're not going to be sitting here chucking threes and bailing the other team out. Like you guys are, you guys, Jalen and Tatum is the most athletic dudes on the court.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
And you're doing sidestep threes at 6'9 and 6'10.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
That's ridiculous.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yeah. I don't know how that's mapping for you guys, but that is horrible.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you're one of those games. You're right. They're going to shoot 45 to 50, 70% from the three point line. They're going to win by 30. Yeah. In a seven-game series, that's a one-gamer. Yeah. One-gamer and a one-halfer. And you better hope it happens in the second half, not the first half like it's been doing.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I mean, when you're talking about the Pacers, the Pacers is no different than, like, the Phoenix Suns was, right? Yeah. Their style is running and trying to run you out of building. New Jersey Nets 01, 02, or 2000, 2001, when Jason Kidd got there, right? They're conditioned. But when you're talking about somebody like Donovan Mitchell, he's conditioned to do what he does.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
What happens with some of these comebacks when you're talking about Indiana versus Cleveland? When you have this free-for-all, everyone gets to touch and shoot the ball, the last five minutes is your star's game, right? The first 43 is team play, right? The Bulls, we got the triangle. Last five minutes is Michael Jordan, right? We've watched it.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
If you look at how the game is being played now, Cleveland Cavaliers, last five minutes, team basketball. Everyone gets to touch it. We all did. You know, this is a team project. And what happens is some of those guys who are not built for the moment don't realize score time and possession. Everyone's not smart. Everyone's not the fucking quarterback on the field.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
You do got some dumb bots out there that's playing. And they've done missed 0 for 4. They don't know time and possession. They don't realize there's a 13-0 run. And he wants to shoot a 3 because he's open. You're open for a reason. Right. Because they know you're dumb enough to shoot that shot. And they usually do for the most part.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Now, when you look at the Knicks, there's only one person getting the ball last five minutes. And he's going to dictate every possession. Same with Indiana. Tyrese is going to dictate every possession. Now, Cleveland, Garland being out kind of hurts them. Because now Donovan has to play the point and the shooting guard when he's just better at being the shooting guard.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
and let Garland actually figure out the great plays that he needs to make when you don't score.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
That's usually already established in practice training camp, you know, one-on-ones after practice, right? We've done already established who gets the ball at the end of the game. The only person that can offset that is the coach. Right? When coach and analytics say, hey, everybody gets to touch. We're all equal here. This is a team sport.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
That's the only thing that goes into play when you're talking about who takes these last shots. But Like Brunson, he didn't just get to New York and everybody was like, hey, you take all the last shots. No, he's earned that through battling them every day in practice, them in training camp and hitting big shots throughout the beginning of the season.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
And he's like, yeah, that's the guy right there.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Okay, it was more clickbait-ish, right? I'm very good at wordplay. So I said he will be the worst. So if he wins the next one, he'll be the worst three-time MVP in the last 40 years, right? Because it was like, so I looked at the, so basically when I said, and you say Jokic, MVP, and worse, everybody forgets anything else you're saying, right? They're already offended.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
so i added three so there's only five people that's that's right three-time mvps those five were in that time frame is magic bird jordan lebron and yokich at that time he's gonna rank fifth right instead of saying five i say worse right right it just it just sounds better for headlines right um That's smart. That was, you know, more of it just, you know, trying to corral it.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Four-time? I mean. It's LeBron and Wilt. LeBron, Wilt. I think MJ, MJ, MJ will. But in my time frame, yes, he would be the worst because it'd be like LeBron, MJ and Kareem and Kareem.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I mean, okay.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yeah, you know, it's just depending on your time frame. He would be the second worst five-time MVP. If you use all of NBA, if you narrow it down, it depends on how you want to do it these days.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
When you're talking about MVP and when you're talking about these debates, for some reason, everybody wants to use the team award first. You want to use...
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
uh championships when it's actually the opposite when you're talking about someone's personal legacy it goes off of how dominant was he individually and then team stuff is later on so when you do a point system on if you look at the top 10 you will realize them championships is irrelevant when it comes to your individual awards. Scottie Pippen has six, right? Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
There's guys who don't have rings in front of him on the all-time list. Oh, yeah, yeah. You got Karl Malone in front of him. You got John Stockton. You got people who don't even have one in front of them because his six is not valued like Michael Jordan's six. But if you take away Michael Jordan's rings, he has 10 scoring titles. He has six MVPs. He has defensive ward.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Those, it shows his personal dominance. Jokic's personal dominance. When he's done, you have to argue. He's top one, two best sinners ever. The only person who you remove rings, The only person who is going to be standing tall over him is Kareem. What about Shaq? Because you can always say Shaq is maybe the most dominant.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yeah, and when you use the word dominant, you got to say, like, what kind of dominant are we talking about? Are we talking about breaking rim dominant and just brute force dominant and we're scared of you dominant? Or just sheer, I'm out here just manipulating the game, taking over dominance? When you hear Shaq say dominance, I'm like, yeah, because I know how that looks.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
You're breaking rims, pushing people down. There has to be a 40-minute timeout because they got to get a new rim in from Best Buy. I get that. But what Jokic is doing and how he dominates is dominant also.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Like, yeah, him... Him winning a championship and Giannis winning a championship with the teams they had. I mean, it is like, wow, that's... You guys are... you guys are way better than, you know, you get credit for. Like we've watched Denver. We see, we like, okay, Murray, you should have won an all-star. You should have made an all-star.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Like you're that player just for some reason voters went against you. So you are that guy. The rest, meh. Yeah. You know, I don't know if Michael Porter Jr., I don't know how many teams he will start on. Christian Brown, I don't know how many other teams you actually start on.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I'm pretty sure Gordon can get away with, you know, he can beat another four man out depending on what team he's on to start. So, you know, three of their starters, you're like, hmm. Russ? Yeah. Russ, triple-double guy?
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yeah, I mean, you know, the Russ that we love to hate. At this point, you're like, you know what? I don't know a Russ I'm going to get today, but we're going to watch and just do one of these and, you know, see how it works out for us. But, you know, Russ was one of those guys where I know Jokic is going to love him, and I know the coach is going to love him because –
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
It sounded Charles Barkley-ish. I don't think so. I think you got got.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
No, I didn't know. I mean, but it's still Charles Barkley, so yeah. Yeah, that's true. I'll jump out the window again.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I'm just going off of that's real, though. That's what happened, right? I was a big Charles Barkley fan. I was the guy that wore the Suns. Back then, in the black community, we used to put words and logos in our head for some reason. And I had Phoenix Suns, where I can go back and forth, up and down, and it still spells Suns. So I was a big Barkley fan. So I remember his career. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
listening to him now talking about, you know, going at Kevin Durant, you're not a leader. And then, oh, you guys are just quitting and you guys are not out of shape and you guys don't play defense. I'm like, wait a minute. Do you not remember who you were when you played? You're talking as if you're not Charles Barkley. I'm not a role model. Like, what are we doing here?
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
So I always like nitpick at some of the things he says because it doesn't match who he was.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Ah, they got me. But because it's Charles, I can't take it back.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
This is my thing. I'm a LeBron fan, but I'm a LeBron fan because of the greatness that I see. Like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Magic. I love just pure greatness. It intrigues me, right? So... When I see, I was in a league when LeBron came. I know what they said. I see what they said when they turned on him.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I've had to do scouting reports in the playoffs against this kid when he was a kid. Watching him now, I'm like, yeah, he is that dude, has been that dude from the beginning. Listening to the narratives that's been said about a guy who if I said, all right, name one year, one full year, he disappointed you as a fan. You're not going to be able to name one full year.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
You can name a series, a couple games here and there. But when you're talking about did he – Give you your money's worth. You have to say yes for 22 years. When you sit here, compare his 20th year, 21st year, 22nd year to a young Kobe's career or Michael Jordan in his prime, it's like, wait a minute. You didn't even put... Michael Jordan wizard years to Michael Jordan Bulls years.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
You just let the wizard Michael Jordan just run around the league smoking cigars, drinking before games, having fun. That's what 40-year-old men did, right? We're just happy to see a drunk Jordan out there running around giving people 20. It was amazing.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yeah. Is that what you called yourself? Oh, I'm a glazer. Oh, now, you know, I'm a Laker glazer, and now I'm a Luka glazer. Oh, you are? Do you think he's out of shape? No. What? What?
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Okay. But the notion of saying, okay, let's just try it this way. Let's say you guarded him and he gave you 71%. Are you really going to just use the phrase he's out of shape and he just gave you 71? No, he's going to be in the best shape of his life if he put those type of numbers on you.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
When you're saying someone is out of shape and then you look at 37 and seven, it kind of makes the people who are in shape different. not look too good. Like if you're Anthony Edwards and you're in shape and then the fat man over here led the series in scoring and assists, I don't know if I'm sitting here at the podium like, yeah.
Pardon My Take

Yeah, he's in – okay, him, Jokic, right? I don't even remember Carmelo. He is in Luka shape, right? Right? He's in the shape that he knows that he's in. That's just like a lot of NBA players, right? You think what you're doing is, yeah, I'm in shape, until you go to a team where someone does something more than you. Right. So – In Dallas, what he did is all he knows, right?
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I've never seen anybody on that team that I said, okay, that's a different condition guy, right? If he played with a Rip Hamilton, if he played with a Westbrook, now he's with a LeBron, right? With a Steve Nash, guys who do that extra cardio, who really actually get to that top tier level of in shape, right? He's never played with that guy to even know what that looks like.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
And sometimes we can go our whole career and don't know there's these extra levels. Unless you're in a locker room with Kobe, you don't know there's an extra level to working out.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
That guy. OK. I I didn't come in as that guy. Right. You know, we have practice at 11 o'clock. Our team as a whole unit got there, you know, 1045. We had some players that got there at 11.45, right? They had to golf first, right? So they had to play their golf and then come to practice. So that's what I was, you know, looking at.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
And then, you know, Chris Mullen basically taught me how to work out, added that with Mark Jackson. Then when I started hearing stories of Kobe, when Luke Walton got there and he said, yo, if you think you work out, cold three times a day. This is how they do it on game day. He's there at three o'clock. I'm like, bullshit. He's not there at three o'clock.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
And I said, when we come to LA, I'm going to go to the, the, the Staples center and I'm going to beat her at three o'clock to see if he's there. Three o'clock. He was there. And what I seen was incredible. He was doing, um, elbow shots, 500 makes, um, The intensity of it was insane, right? Like, he's doing a pump fake shot.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
The trainer had to be, like, he had to jump and foul him and give him the contact. Full, full playoff game seven mode before the game. And when I seen it with my own eyes, It clicked in and that's why my game really improved because I witnessed something that I didn't see the first part of my first year in the NBA. And now I see like what the next level look like.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
And I, every trip we went to LA, I was at the gym at three o'clock to watch Kobe.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Like, I think it's this fine balance. The same thing with Jokic. The weight helps them in their style of play, right? They need their body with the contact, right? They're very great reactors. And sometimes they need to carry a little bit more weight, right, to do a lot of things that they do, hold people off. I looked at Luka's rookie year. You know, that's going to be, you know what I mean?
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
That's going to be the skinniest version of him. And I'm like, yeah, we can use this one. Yeah, yeah, this extra burst Luka that can actually dunk and he's a lot faster. That is the Luka we need. So, you know, if he's sitting at about, I can gauge it. He's all of six. Have you seen him in person?
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
He's all of about 6'9 1⁄2", right? He's a big human being, and he's probably sitting at about 260. If Luka can get down to about 230, 225... I really believe he's going to be MVP next year.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Like I'm, I'm thinking about like when you're talking about two games here, two games at one, one, one, you know, you're just, you know, looking at the back and forth and it's like, like if we were playing just one on one and that's what a series is, is one verse one. Why am I giving you the ball? Like, you have to earn this, right? So I'm not giving up home court advantage until you beat me.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Like, take it from me, and then we can go down to your hometown, and we got to take it back from you. But, you know, obviously, this is a business, and it has to be, you know, we got to go to your building so your fan base can win some, you know, some, I guess, so you can pay your bills, in a sense. Right, right. If it just comes straight to hoops...
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
No, it has stopped those fans from mouthing out. Then you're going to have them MMA guys.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Exactly. Um, Now, I kind of like the idea, but, like, I see someone like a Westbrook really using it really early. I think we'll be probably mad that he didn't save it for that one fan.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
There's only a few guys that I can see really using it. Isaiah Stewart, pretty sure he will use his – Draymond would use his in like the first quarter of the first game. When you watch Draymond's antics, it's in real time. Yeah. It's like these real times, like he gets hit in the elbow, and then now he wants to overflang, right? I don't see how a fan gets under his skin.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
He doesn't get easily moved by fans. That's true. Yeah. Mostly just Westbrook at this point.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
He might mix it up. You know, probably. It'll just be some random quiet guy that we don't know of, and he's just sitting there. He's done had enough, and he just points at you, me in the middle. And you're like, oh, shh. Yeah, I wasn't like ready to fight.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I personally don't think they're confident because even game one, you was getting built to ass, right? You end up coming back, but it wasn't, It was a comeback, but it wasn't really. You didn't play very well, right? It looked like you was getting manhandled. You was bad body language from Jokic in the fourth quarter, and then they end up making a comeback. Here, you just got the doors blown off.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I don't know what you take from game two nor one that actually helps you in game three, right? It's the same thing with New York. Like, New York... you were getting beat down the first, like you're down 20 and just sheer, just sheer willness gave you those. So you have, you have something that you can say, Hey, I don't give a fuck what they're up.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
We got this going into the garden, which is going to be bananas. Right. Um, I don't see how Denver goes home and they're like, yeah, don't worry. That was just, we stole one guys. Let's just defend our home court. I don't see what speech that, um, men in black can, can really give. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yes. I mean, you know, um, the weather, the women, right. That's it. The, the, the, the atmosphere, the fan base, um, It's it's one of those things where, you know, when you're talking about just West Coast basketball, like when you're talking about like the style of play, Arizona is obviously is West. So, you know, you still are competing with the legacy of UCLA. Right.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
You probably get second fiddle, but you're still in Arizona. And then, you know, from there, it's. You know, those guys try to stay close to home as much as possible. So, you know, getting the L.A. kid out of L.A., literally UCLA and USC aren't recruiting him. Then they look outward. So for the most part, you know. After Luke passed, those West Coast kids kind of stopped coming.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
So it seems like they're getting back to what they used to be. They recruited my son very hard. He just wanted to stay home. Musclemen who coached me called him every single day. Right. I didn't even know he was they was talking to three in the morning, you know, about basketball, about workout out. Right.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
So, you know, you know, Musselman had a hand up on everybody because he actually called him every day. Right. Knowing that, you know, that he's going to reclass. I don't I don't think everybody realized he was going to reclass and be a senior. So most of the guys didn't really recruit him like that. And Musselman was there from the beginning.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I told him, listen, if – well, you know, I was great at cards.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yeah, you know, don't be an antagonizer. Realize that – Losing money is more important than how much they're losing, right? You know, just the idea of losing money is, you know, it was more of the problem than $1,100. To this day, I don't even know how much he was down to be that mad. Some people say, yeah, I won about $4,000. It was like $4,000 to $6,000 is how much he was down.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
And for that team, that's like losing $300,000 because they only played for $20,000 a hand. Right. We're talking about like I was with LeBron and Richie and him. Well, LeBron wasn't playing, but Richie and Mav and him and Larry Hughes, we was playing $500,000 a hand. And I'm on a big contract, and I'm still like, whew, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I was hearing, you know, games that they were playing $1,000 a hand. So that means, you know, everybody puts up, there's four players. The game already started at 4,000. You get one, two, two, one in the boo. You're talking about, you got boo for 4,000. Now it's 8,000 in the pot. Now you got three people who have the ante back up, right? You're looking at 11 grand and you just started a game.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Right. Yeah. That's not the type of motion I wanted. So I will tell him, listen, Win money like a real winner. Don't brag. Don't be mean. And if you do, hold a taser, right? Tase the fire.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
No one cared?
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yeah. No. So, yeah, it happened on the 21st. We left Phoenix. So it was our Phoenix West Coast trip flying back. Happened on the 21st, I think. And then the story didn't leak. until I think New Year's, right? So it was like, you know, because to be honest, The shit we did in locker rooms, right?
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
It's basically having jackass inside of a building and only you guys get to critique each other, right? So there's been paintball shootouts in, you know, locker rooms, right? BB, you know, shootout like, you know, Nick Young tells a story that I shot him in the back with a BB gun in the middle of a gun awareness meeting by the NBA, right? You know, they just came to my house while I was sleeping.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
You know, him and Andre Blotch, they paintballed me in my bed the night before. So they decided that they were going to protect themselves with BB guns. Because I was going to, so I froze my paintballs and I was going to be shooting frozen paintballs at them. And then I went in a locker, seen a BB gun and I was offended.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
You're bringing BB guns in a locker room to have a, so I went in a locker room. I mean, I went into the meeting there in the middle of a meeting. I went to his back and pulled it and he's screaming.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
bb stuck in his skin and i was like oh so where were we at and then just you know put the gun down and just uh i mean it was a very it was a very funny team when you look at who was on there you get you obviously nick young and javel mcgee blatch all those guys um deshaun stevenson and then we had the like the those championship minds we had the
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
The Karan Butlers, the Antoine Jamesons, the Brennan Haywoods, the Etan Thomas. Too serious for my blood, right? Mm-hmm. Right? We had the... I call it the Jacqueline Hyde type of locker room. You had... goofballs, and really serious.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
In the locker room, he didn't come in the locker room. But in practice, you know, we were serious. I didn't realize it until when someone asked me, it's like, why did you do the things you did in locker rooms? Right, I thought you was this serious guy. I thought you worked out. I thought when you got to the gym, you did this. And I said, what the fuck are you talking about? I did.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
And then it was like, all right, so explain to me your routine. And then I was like, okay, I got to the gym about five, six o'clock. You know, I took my four or 500 shots, lifted sauna, right. Took a nap and then, you know, 10 30. And then I was like, Because I be in a gym by myself so much, right? I'm in a gym at 11 p.m. to 1, then I get back in. Majority of my working out, I'm by myself.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
The only time I seen those guys... was during games, couldn't do that in a game day, but in practice. So 10, 15, 10, 30, when everyone's there, it's like PE for me. I didn't have the concept of these guys are getting ready for practice. I've already done my shit. What's up? Let's have fun.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
That was my problem, and I didn't notice that then, that when these guys came in, it was recess for me personally. So I just wanted to just have fun before we had the practice.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
You got a job? Listen, you sound like you have to be a lot of fun here. I'll meet these motherfuckers in a minute for some basketball and free time.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Yeah, okay, so look, even, like, if you listen to, like, I think it was Andre Blach and Nick Young, you know, once his gun came out, like, oh, shit. This is serious. It was done after that. You know what I mean? It was pretty calm after that because I know my four didn't have nothing in him, so I knew I was safe. He had something I didn't know that was part of this little game I was playing.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
So, you know, it was diffused right then, and then we both went into the jacuzzi because that's what we did before practice. We both went into the jacuzzi, and then we was having a conversation, and I'm like, yo, why are you so serious? And then he was like, man, you just take too much shit. Like, he's mad at me because I'm joking too much. I'm mad at him. Like, no, you're arguing over $1,100.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
And he's mad at me because this is what actually happened. It was a 2-2-1, he got booed, so he had to re-up the pot. So if nobody wins the money, and it goes 2-2-1, that means there's two ties, everybody has to re-up. If you don't get no books, so like if you know how to play spades, imagine if you don't get a hand, right? You didn't win a hand, you have to match whatever's in the pot.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
So I guess it was like his second time matching the pot. Earl went out, JaVale didn't take any cars. So most likely he had all Trump, four Trump, three high Trump. And from what Earl was, whoa, never mind. That means he had ace, king and queen, meaning he was going to win the money and possibly boo to both of us. Javaris needed five. So that means he didn't have no Trump. So I'm already laughing.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I had three Trump. I said and showed my hands like, yeah, I'm not going to be a part of this fight and threw my cards in. That was the thing that he was mad at, that I didn't help him in this fight. I didn't help try to make it 2-2-1. Right. You left him out to dry. I left him to dry, and that was like, yo, you're my guy. See, there's these things in the NBA where your personal relationship –
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
needs to overweigh the game rules itself, right? So if me and you are best friends and there's $8,000 in the pot and you have a king and I have an ace and I hold my ace to the end, So I'm going to give you the money, but I'm going to boo you. So the $8,000 can get back in there. Yeah. Right. It makes sense. Right. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
If I did that, you, you are taking that very personal because we have a relationship and we don't supposed to do that to each other. And I'm like, shit, I want the $8,000 back in the game. So I'm going to, I can't win this 8,000, but you got to put it back in. I'm going to boo you. That was more of it that I didn't help him fight for the money or fucking get booed.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
with him yeah and i'm like yo you did the crime you do the time was my thing yeah yeah it makes sense i also like the idea of you guys squashing it in in the jacuzzi afterwards like you know the other guy doesn't have a gun at that point like we like i'm gonna just be honest man you know after it happened we was fine um the the only wedge we really have we had was kind of like um during it
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
It was like during, you know, during the trial and stuff. It's like, wait a minute. Like I heard what your lawyer said. Do you believe the lie that y'all are telling or is this, we still playing? Cause you already got off. You, you, you, you got what's it am. So you don't need to make this kind of statement. The fact that you already got, um,
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
basically a slap on the wrist in a sense of, you know, what happened here, because, you know, technically the story's opposite. I never touched a gun, never held a gun. No one seen me with a gun. I just said, yo, those are mine. I did that shit, right? I was just standing on business. So the fact that you pulled yours out, the gun was pulled on me technically.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
So the fact that everyone thinks I pulled it on you, I'm willing to let that narrative run because I know if we go to court, the real story can be told. Yeah. So that was kind of the only riff. After that, it was more, this is my little brother, man, and I'm going to, you know, hang with him. So, you know, I used to, you know, text with him in jail, send him phones.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Like, you know, we was, you know, behind the scenes talking, you know, trying to keep him from, you know, going into that dark place, talk about basketball, you know. So from, you know, 10 years, it was more of the, hey, man, how good is boom, boom, boom? Like, we was always in the talk.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Can you tell me? I don't understand that. Okay, so since I was the captain, right, I got the checks handed them out. Oh, no, everyone got their own check, but Lamar wasn't there yet, right? So, you know, we're in Charlotte. So I don't know if he drove there. I don't know what happened, but I had his check. So I was like, yo, when you get to town, I got your check. Just hit me up. So I get a text.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
It was like, yo, I'm at the hotel. You around? I'm like, yeah, I'm in my room. He was like, yeah, can you bring my check? Bet. All right. So I was like, what room you in? He gave me the room number. I go, knock on the door. Right? He literally, like, it wasn't, you know, like, creak the door open. I got to hand it to him. Because this is the first time I meet Lamar. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
This is the first time I meet him. He swings the door open. Come on in. What neck? You're like, oh, man. But before I looked away, I see bent over, nice rack. I mean, nice back. So I had to look back. And then he just goes, she's bent over the bed. And he just starts going in. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, just put it right there. How quickly did you get out of the room?
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
Right, I didn't move that fast. I mean, I had my eyes. It was nice. I've never, like, I've been around some wild dudes. never that's crazy never seen never seen that like that like i'm like lamar's wild that's so funny it even got what so so i heard the story of game one which i'm like okay that makes it game one they said after game one um i wasn't there right i had i had court um
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
After game one, they said he has his phone. He's in the shower watching porn. Like, they said, yo, he's watching. Like, it's a Netflix series. He's just sitting there just, yeah, man, how y'all think I did today? Yeah. And then Rick Mahorn is talking to him, and he's just sitting there like, Hey, so do we still get paid? Yeah. No matter how we did? Oh, that's gravy. That's gravy.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
And he's just watching a full-blown porn like it was regular TV. So when I heard the story, I'm like, nah, he can't be that wild until that right there.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
He's a historian. I will say I would believe it. If you just finished playing a basketball game and you're in the shower and the first thing that you are watching is porn, that says a lot. You have to catch up on the new episodes. You can't get by.
Pardon My Take
Gilbert Arenas, Knicks Up 2-0, Thunder And Wolves Tie The Series, The Pope Is American, Playoff Hockey And Fyre Fest With Some Bonus Mystery Guests
I appreciate it. Appreciate it. Thank you for having me.
