What does Kevin Durant say about the 'Old Heads' in the All-Star Game?
Kevin Durant on if the Old Heads will compete in the All-Star game. You should ask the Europeans and the World Team if they're going to compete. If you look at Luka and Nikolaj Jokic, now, is that competition? These dudes be laying on the floor, shooting from half court. KD said, hold on, y'all would have put that on the Old Head, but y'all don't ask them these questions. What's really going on?
What?
Hey, I like Katie. Katie say whatever on his mind. If it come up, it's coming out.
Yeah. You know what?
Why does James Harden believe loyalty is overrated in the NBA?
I think Katie be the superstar that he is. He's one of the few players that I enjoy on and off the court. especially when it comes to social media and how to conduct himself. He don't duck no smoke. He engages with all the fans, whether positive or negative, and I wish more stars, superstars, I mean megastars that he is, I wish more of them were as accessible as he is, especially with us regular folks on Twitter, on Instagram, and just the way he engages. You talk shit, he talks shit back, Joe, you know? I mean, I really enjoyed it. And the fact that he's so tapped in into reality and not feeling himself as I'm this mega superstar. There's no need for me to really go back and forth with you, you know, us peasants.
But the fact that he does do that, whether good or bad, man, I really salute KD. And I wish more players were open to engaging, you know, with us regular folks, you know, on social media a little bit more.
Hey, look.
What are Doc Rivers' thoughts on his Hall of Fame candidacy?
KD, I think people looking at when they talk about the All-Star game and the old heads, that's because you're used to seeing these dudes fly through the air, doing all these dunks, D-ing up. You don't expect that from these foreigner guys. You know what I mean? You know what they're going to do. They're going to come in. They're going to play the right way. They're going to knock a couple shots down. They're going to get up out of there.
Why did Mac McClung choose not to enter the Dunk Contest?
But they still want to see Braun come through the lane, Tomahawk that thing. You know what I mean? They want to see us perform. Period point blank. Yo, it ain't going back. Once you let the genie out the bottle, he don't want to go back in there. He like freedom. They don't play defense anymore.
How does college basketball compare to the NBA in terms of product quality?
And don't get this. We saw in the 80s. We saw in the 90s.
What does D-Wade say about Mavs fans and the 2006 Finals free throws?
We saw in the 2000s how the all-star game was conducted. Ocho, it's the same thing with the Pro Bowl. You're never going to get it back to what it was.
What insights are shared during the Q&A segment?
So just stop looking for that. The festivities aren't the same. It used to be the dunk contest closed the all-star game festivities leading into the game itself on Sunday. Now the three-point competition is the draw. It is what it is. And I don't blame KD. It's all the guys. Nobody's like, hey, man, we need to lock in. Hey, it's the fourth quarter. No, I mean, it started getting 200 points. And it's never going to change. You're never going to get it back. I don't care what they do. I don't care what they do. They're not going to get it back to what it once was. It's never going to be that. Mm-hmm. I agree because I think they've already put incentives in there, Uncle Ocho, like the winner gets, what, two, 300K and the loser get like, I think 50K or something like that.
You know what I mean? So they got incentives in it and it still hasn't changed. It's just not what it used to be, man. It's just not. And Ocho, you making $60 million on the court. You making another 25 million. You making 85 million. You not missing $200,000, $300,000.
Absolutely not. And that was my first thing too, Unc, and Joe. I mean, Unc, we talked about it last year during basketball season.
What closing thoughts are provided at the end of the episode?
We talked about it, you know, during All-Star break last year. The only way you get the players to get back to playing the way you want them to play or to make it exciting for the fans is you have to incentivize it. And it can't be no $200,000, $500,000. You have to incentivize it with something that starts with an M. It has to be. That's the only way. And if it's not going to happen, like you just said, it will never be the same.
It will never be the same. All these guys coming. All these guys coming.
