What are Juju Gotti's thoughts on basketball hairstyles?
What you think about his curl? What you think about the little afro curl he got going on? I think he the first white jerry curl. If he's white. I'm not sure. Don't sue me, y'all.
I think he is, but I get it. Well, now this is territory I'm uncomfortable with. I don't know, but I don't know. Mute it.
Miss Becky bleeping.
You gave me so much motivation and encouragement by... You know what I mean? By dealing with me, bro, that I never necessarily had in myself, bro. You gave me the confidence to want to do this in the first place, dog. And I'll always be grateful for you, bro.
I told you this privately. I will tell you this publicly. You are a star. You should be in front of the camera. You should be on the mic. You shouldn't be behind the scenes. Like, yeah, all the social media stuff you're great at, but you're a star, man. You should be in front of everything.
Look, you're going to make my mama cry. I know. I know. Give us a second. We got to start. It was a wonderful game last night. We taping this on a Tuesday afternoon after the national championship. But we just got earth shattering news from the NBA. Mike Malone and company out in Denver. What is going on there, brother?
Why was Michael Malone fired from the Denver Nuggets?
Well, I think someone reminded Stan Kroenke he owns the Denver Nuggets. And he just thought, oh, I don't. This doesn't seem good enough. I don't know, man. Like, it's look. Mike Brown gets fired in December. Yeah. Coach's fire ends happen in December. Taylor Jenkins gets fired nine games before the playoffs. We're like, Ooh, that's a little too close to the playoffs. That doesn't happen. And then Denver's like, hold on. What about three games before the playoffs? What if we did? And it's not like they're a fringe team or anything. They could be the three seed. They're in the mix. They're a half game ahead of this whole traffic jam in the West. I think they just decided, all right, this isn't our guy moving forward.
Let's see what David Adelman has because he's kind of the next hot assistant coach on the market. He will be this summer. I don't know, man. They just don't have any basketball people running the organization. That's what happens.
Bro, like you said, Taylor Jenkins, wow, that was a little much. But this is a spicy meet the ball.
It is, man.
Right before the playoffs. Do you think the Joker or anybody on the team may have had a hand in this or may have just said, hey, bro, I don't like how he called me Brucey B last year.
Like, what could it be, man? Juju, I think you can help me on this quest, okay? On Jokic's basketball – reference page. This isn't anything new. It's been there for a while. But I'm trying to get us away from calling him the Joker because the other nickname on his page is Big Honey. And I just think Big Honey is a way better nickname. I know Joker's easier and everything and Joker all that, but Big Honey is a great... That's an ABA nickname. That's a great nickname. I don't know that Big Honey had anything to do with this, but I wouldn't rule it out. I think with... With this, like, I think you have to make this move this point in the season. I think you have to run it by him. Right.
What nickname should we give Nikola Jokic?
But I don't know that he decides this, right? I think you have to give him a heads up, though.
Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I think Big Honey might have crossed his desk, and then he was like, I don't give a damn. These ain't my horses.
Yeah, you're not firing my horses. I don't care.
We're going to move on to the game heard around the world last night. Houston versus Florida, man. Houston had them clowns. clamps on Walter Clayton last night. They had the clamps on the whole team pretty much, except Will Richard, the first half, which was a hero. I think he might should have got the MVP of the game last night. How do you feel about that game last night, bro?
I like Kelvin Sampson. Kelvin Sampson is just one of those good dudes that you want to win a championship. You want him to get that validation. He's one of those basketball lifers, right? He's just one of those guys that I think has earned it. And for them to go out that way, and you could, like, the comments after, like, to not get a shot, you could live with missing a shot, right?
