What record did Bam Adebayo break and why is it significant?
Flag number soap. And I want all of it.
Juju wants every dollar.
Welcome to the alley-oop. I am the kid Juju Gotti, joined by my sister Trista Crick. How you doing, sis?
I'm good now that Juju got it. It's got a new single out like a bump in the shower. Now do your thing.
Yes, sir. If you don't know, man, Juju got it, man. Everywhere you get your music available right now. Blue Flame featuring my boys King Crazy and Busy Made. Neither here nor there. Let's get straight into this week's controversy, bruh. Kobe fans are big mad at the BAM right now.
And me. They're mad at me.
They're mad at you too? Oh, hell nah. Talk about it, sis. Why they mad, bruh?
So I went to the YouTube, Juju, to evaluate the 81 game performance to see if there was any shenanigans in the 81 points. And I have to say, although I am a Kobe apologist and an evangelist and a lover of everything Mamba mentality, it was not pure ethical hoops for the all minutes of the game. Yes. Was it a close game for a lot of the game? Yes. Were the Lakers down double digits? Yes. Did the Lakers also at one point go up 20 and that man Kobe Bean Bryant was steady still in the game saying, give me the guy's ball? Also, yes.
Yeah, people are funny as hell this week trying to like, look, we love Kobe, RIP to Mambo. But come on, we conveniently forgetting that my boy used to shoot between triple teams, quadruple teams routinely, man. That was literally the stigma.
And the crazy thing is that people are like, well, you want Smush Parker to get the ball? And it's like, who does Bam have right now? Andrew Wiggins isn't playing right now. They got multiple injuries. We got Davion Mitchell. We're giving the ball to Davion Mitchell. It's the same as Smush Parker.
Right, and they got bro who did the Dougie after he won the dunk contest. They got bro. You can pass him the ball, but he intentionally missing free. So it's like, look, man, I choose to enjoy it. If you a hater of stuff like this, you need to look yourself in the mirror and realize, man, look, I'm tripping because it's a lot of stuff to hate on in this world right now. And bam, mama crying on the sidelines. Asia supporting her man. The Heat having a great moment. This ain't one of them times, man.
How is Victor Wembanyama impacting the future of the Spurs?
Like I said earlier on the Levitar show, man, the moon don't compete with the sun, man, for no shine, bro. They take turns, man. You feel me? Just because it's the night, it's going to be morning in a little while, bro. You're going to be all right. So, Kobe fans, you're good, bro. He's still a legend. Let Bam have a night.
Yeah, and on top of that, like – It was Bam. And so, number one, no one will ever use that to discredit Kobe in the greatest of all time top five conversation. Bam is not competing in the least with Kobe. Like it would have happened if, say, LeBron would have done it. Or if another player that's in that same conversation would have done it. So that's number one. But number two... The human element of it all is enough to make you shed a tear. His career high was 41 before that. You are five statistical pieces out from where he was. That would be like if Patrick Mahomes threw for 1,000 yards in a game. We're talking about well outside the realm of what he's ever done. Also, this man grew up in a single wide trailer.
Didn't start playing basketball until he was 13 years old. Didn't even want to claim his Nigerian heritage because he felt so bad that his dad was a bit of a not present father. And he comes out, goes to Kentucky, is a feel good story. Gets there with D-Wade. D-Wade leaves. Then you end up having Udonis Haslam. Then Udonis Haslam leaves. Then you have Jimmy Butler and he's the alpha. Now he's got to be the alpha, which is not, it's like not really a natural role for him.
Yeah.
He wants to be the second fiddle. He wants to be the Robin. He's not comfortable being this arrogant, ego, Kobe Bryant-esque type of a player. So for him to take that many shots was like, okay, bam, I see you.
Exactly. Exactly, because you know the whole time Eric Spoelstra was about to pull his ass out every time he shot and missed.
