Come for the sports, stay for the stories. LeBron James spoke about his relationship with Jalen Brown. Let's take a listen. This was after yesterday's game, guys.
Uh-oh. I think he just used the motivation of a lot of people just saying that they're going to have a down year because of, you know, obviously JT being out, you know, them losing Drew. You know, Leeds, Prazingis, Leeds, their whole championship team pretty much is kind of revamped. And he used that motivation to keep them afloat.

Chapter 2: What does LeBron James say about his relationship with Jaylen Brown?
Never that. No, but I'm... No, no, no. Wait, wait. Listen. No, that's not what I was saying. I was saying understand what comes with the territory once you have that of said being in the NBA. That's all.
I don't... But even if it comes with the territory, Joe, even though, Joe, it comes with the territory and we know. Yeah. It's the same thing. It's the same. And people are like, well, you said this about Russ. I never played the music about Russ. I talked about Russ. about the ill-advised shots, the costly turnover, the matador defense.
And people try to compare me saying Russ was not playing good basketball. Russ isn't the same player that he once was as the guy that sent Russ' wife and talked about Russ in the same breath. How is that the same? It's not. All I'm saying is, is that look, yes, LeBron knows that there are some criticism that's going to come.
They criticize LeBron and he just got more points than anybody in the history of the game. He's about to play the most games in the history of the game. He has the fifth most assists. Nobody that's in the top 10 can even, nobody's in the top 20 comes close to LeBron as far as assists. He understands that. But at the end of the day, there's still a place that's my child.
And I'm going to protect my child. It's just, it is what it is. And it's us that somehow, Ocho, I thought that's what we do. See, we're the only ones that feel bad about helping our child get ahead in life. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Chapter 3: How does Jaylen Brown respond to criticism regarding Bronny?
They do it all the time. Where Jerry Jones' kids work at, Ocho? With the Cowboys. With the Cowboys. What? You mean to tell me your dad can help you get ahead? How many times have we seen that they help their kids get ahead? But we're supposed to feel bad if we help our kids get ahead. Right, right, right. Damn it.
Chapter 4: What insights do the hosts share about Jalen Brown's performance?
If my kids wanted to work in media, you best believe they got a job. And somebody might not have one, but they're going to have one. Hey, go ahead, Joe. Hey, listen, I think it goes back, you know, to the last time I was on here with y'all. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, fellas. Absolutely. Hey, look, this comes with the territory. Uncle, I know what you're saying. Yep, that's my child.
And I'm going to defend him every chance I get. You say something about him? Because we're in a... We're in a funny stage to where in hoops, we've never seen this combination before. We've never seen a father-son duo teammates actually cross over.
Yeah. They actually in the league at the same time.
And they're on the same team. Hello. So look, now we having to deal with this in real time. And obviously, you know, Bronny going to have people shooting at him. It's just what it is. He's LeBron's son. He's going to get everybody's A game. Every time he touched the floor, he got a target on his back. Yes, that's what it is. And he has to be aware of that. And I just think, man, it's unfortunate.
But I love the fact that LeBron gave Jalen Brown his props. His flowers. Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Two things can be true. I didn't approve of what he said, but he's an MVP candidate.
He playing his ass off. Absolutely.
Absolutely. Because they came into L.A. last night and put on a show. And beat the brakes off him. You hear me? Yeah. Peyton Pritchard. Hey, Ocho, you still think you can take Peyton Pritchard?

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Anthony Edwards' comments on Memphis hotels?
Yeah.
Because they're looking at him like, oh, man. Man, that little white dude ain't about to do nothing. And you look up next day, you know his team got 140, and he got 50 of them. Man, look, that boy, what he had, 30-something last night off the bench? He came in getting straight to it. Boston got, hey, look, I know we didn't give them they props, but Boston going to be in the thick of it, man.
They've been looking good as of late. They've been looking good. I'll give you another example. The same thing what people say about Magic. I had Magic on the show. And I was like, Magic, when did you know that your son, EJ, wasn't going to be a basketball player? He wasn't going to play football. He's like, Sean, there were signs. We saw things. He didn't want to play with trucks.
He didn't want to do things. And people want Magic to disown his son because he chose a life that's different than what was a heterosexual man.
Yeah, hell nah. Hell nah.
Magic say, I believe in God too, but that's my son. If one of my kids chose to live a different lifestyle, guess what? I take that up with God when I get up there with him. That ain't got nothing to do with y'all down here. Whatever God got in store for me and my child, I take it up with him once I get up there.
Yeah, most definitely. I mean, obviously, you can't. That's one thing, regardless of what they choose to be. It might be against your will. It might be against what you, maybe something you didn't want, Joe, huh? Yeah. Boy, I ain't disowning nothing. Now, whatever you decide to do, now what you're not going to do, if you're going to be whatever it is,
Whatever you identify as, you better be the best at it. Don't you embarrass me. Don't you half-ass it. Now, if you're going to be gay, you better be the best gay out there. Whatever you want to do, you better be the best at it. Don't embarrass me.
I don't care what you try to do, but you better be one of the best at it. Because how many times, guys, have we heard, boy, that child can't do nothing wrong in his mom or dad eyes. Boy, that child is terrible. But mom and dad can't see no fault in their own child. Right. We've all been there. I'm like, damn. My kid really that bad?

Chapter 6: What insights do LeBron and Ocho share about NBA injuries?
Like, a little $100.
You know, make somebody's day. I guarantee you that 30, 40 make it. How many people you think in the hotel that they clean that they get somebody to leave a tip for?
I mean, probably not many. Exactly. I mean, I'm just saying, you know. You don't leave nothing. Who? Ocho.
Chapter 7: What are the implications of sending NBA doctors to check injuries?
I mean, man. See? He going to chat. This man tell me I need to leave 100. He leave zero. Yeah, I'm- Chad, Chad, think about what he just said. Chad, think about what he just said. He said, Shannon needs to leave a Honda. I said, well, you don't leave nothing.
You right on. Hey, I had to pay for the hotel. The hotel charged me incidentals. And you're telling me I need to leave something for the- So you think I'm staying at the hotel for free? Yeah. I'm not. You're a rewards member. Ain't no rewards, remember? You not? No. Yeah. Hey, listen, I tip when I go to restaurants, though.
I mean, that's, you know, I ain't never thought about doing it at the hotel. I'm going to try that next time. I'm going to try that.
Oh, yeah. Oh, really? Oh. We need to go to what you call Memphis to get some barbecue. I got to pay for some barbecue. No, Memphis.
Chapter 8: How does Kevin Durant plan to contribute to Team USA in 2028?
Yeah, Memphis.
My mouth tuned up for some barbecue. Hey, Memphis known for that barbecue, boy. Yeah. Ain't Kansas City known for barbecue, too?
Kansas City known for barbecue, too.
Yeah.
I mean, look, Texas, Tennessee, probably Kansas City, South Carolina, North Carolina. Mm-hmm. Mainly southern states. I mean, obviously, Kansas City is in the Midwest. Right. For the most part, you're talking about Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, southern states.
It ain't nothing like having no ribs, man, that fall off the bone, man. I know we're going to get killed, Ocho, but I eat pork ribs. I mean, man, listen. I don't care what it is. I'm finna eat it. But you ever had Tony Roma's? Pause. They're better restaurants, but I'm just saying.
Pause, Ocho. You need to pause with that. What'd I say? Whatever it is, I'm gonna eat it.
Oh, we talk about food though, huh?
Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about.
