Chapter 1: Who is Jamal Crawford and what is his story about losing a car gambling?
You heard the sound Stugatz made when I said earlier this guy was coming on with us. It was just extraordinary enthusiasm. Yes, it was a bit lecherous, a little uncomfortable. I love this guy. Yeah, I know, but just sort of wanting because you were happy that he was coming on with us again. One of the greatest six men in the history of the league. He's a lead game analyst for NBC Sports.
Coverage begins in October 2025 across NBC and Peacock. And the NBA play-in tournament starts tonight on TNT. I am mad at him. I have not told him this. There is a yeah, there's a war brewing between athletes and journalists in the media.
And he went on with Lou Williams on the underground lounge and he gave up the goods to a teammate and friend and and colleague and didn't give us the story of the time that he lost a car gambling in Chicago. He knows that that's the story that I want. Right. He knows this and he goes with Lou Williams and he gives him the great story instead of us.
And look, he's nodding and he's like, yes, you're right to be furious at me. And hi, it's nice to see you again.
Nice to see you as well, Dan. Thanks for the introduction. I appreciate it.
I want to hear this story because it's such a good story, Jamal. The idea of getting to the league and losing a car gambling because things escalate and you don't know what you're doing, it's a funny way for a rookie to lose a car.
Funny way and a way that you never expect, right? But for me, I got in over my head. I was like betting air money, shooting dice. And I'm thinking it's like, okay, it's a friendly competition. These numbers are getting so high. He doesn't really want this money, does he? Oh, he wanted the money. So I said, you know what?
Instead of me getting that money as a rookie and not making much at that time, Would you take the car? He's like, yeah, I'll take the car. I'm like, oh, here, you can have it. Just let me take my basketball out of it. That's what I learned, not to gamble outside of actual casinos.
But how does that happen? It seems to me your entire career that you've seemed savvy.

Chapter 2: What are the NBA playoff predictions and key matchups for 2024?
They just aren't for the handles. I didn't even notice. I didn't even notice what happened.
That was amazing the way you did that. You are so much better than the vice president of this country.
Oh, my gosh. I'm not going there. But I'm interested to see how that series looks because I think Minnesota are competitors. And I just want to see how it looks going down that road together. What about you guys?
Who do you have, Dan? I'm glad you asked that, Jamal. I think you should have done better with the trophy. Old heavy-tongued Chris Cody. He just said to me, again, in a private show that I'm getting, boy, he said to me, boy, Jamal Crawford really stiff-armed you on that one, Dan. You went in with the vice president dropping, and he's like, nope. He crossed you over.
Yeah, you really did.
Jay Crossover. You have crossed over.
Oh, like Steve Smith.
He's got a move, a signature move that is named after him. Would you look at the Cavs and say what everyone is saying, that nobody's going to believe that that will be Boston?
Yeah, I think most people would say that. I think Boston now, you remember for years, it was like, break up Brown and Tatum. And I was saying years ago, just get them a vet. I think they were young enough. I think they were good enough. And I think they could figure it out. Now their team has figured out their style works. Before it was like, oh, we can get a lot of success. We can push people.

Chapter 3: Which NBA teams are considered favorites and potential surprises this season?
Wow. Thank you. That was hard for you. It seemed like it was going to force his hand.
It was tough. Yeah, you did. You twisted my arm. You did twist my arm on that.
And this is just about your simple belief that this is Anthony Edwards' league to take over from Luka and LeBron?
I just think it will be his league one day, or at least one of the faces of the league. I just think his competitiveness, along with them right now, I think he wants to be a spoiler. Everybody's talking about the Lakers. Everybody's talking about they can make this run. I'm just going to throw a shot in the dark and see what sticks, but I'll say Minnesota. What is yours, Dan?
I need you to pick one. Who do you have that nobody has?
Okay, thank you. You threw it back on me. Dan, you have the heat over the Cavs, right?
And you're playing with the table right now. Yeah, well, you put me on the spot.
I want to see where you're going with this. I am. I'm going to take Jamal's one step further and say the Timberwolves are going to make it to the NBA Finals. How about that?
Okay, see, it means nothing. But it's brave. But it's brave. And I like the Clippers to beat the Nuggets, but that's not controversial. It's just a five over a four. Yeah, that stinks.

Chapter 4: What controversial NBA playoff picks do the hosts and guests have?
Okay.
It's like picking a run from the play-in teams in March Madness as well if you had picked Carolina as an 11.
Put Golden State in the finals. Do something like that. Put Memphis in the Western Conference finals. I mean, give us something. Give us something, dear.
I really feel so pressurized right now. Put the Knicks there.
I dare you.
Wow.
Wow. Thought you were going the other way with that.
No, what? Making them advance is the three? To the finals, yeah. Oh, no. I'm going the other way on that one. And I'm rooting for that, right? Like that's, I don't know. Do you hate anybody? No, not at all. Not at all. You've never played against a, there's not a city or team that you have a dislike for?
Not one. No, no. I was good there. But, Dan, you're not spinning this on me back to me again. Like, you picked the Knicks to lose. Stick with it.

Chapter 5: What are Jamal Crawford's thoughts on the Cleveland Cavaliers?
I would go to space, I think. Yeah.
We were talking before about whether you'd least prefer to go to space or to go in the submersible underwater.
So look, I hate flying. I can't swim. I'm gone either way. How long is that trip to space? It's quick. 11 minutes. It's quick. It's a cup of coffee.
It's 11 minutes. Here, do you want to see Gayle King? She seemed kind of scared, and I would be too. Yeah, let's see Gayle. I would be terrified if I was about to go up into space.
Let's see, girl. Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, she's scared here because I think she's scared. Either scared or miserable. You think she's just unhappy?
I don't know. I can't make that look right there. I think she's like, all right, well, let's do it. I don't know where she's at with it. To me, it's like, what am I doing? This was fun. Well, she got the name on the suit. I don't know. She was ready for this. This felt like a good idea leading up to it.
Jamal, I think that she doesn't look ready for this. Look at what's happening here with this. You know what?
The more I look at it, I think she's looking at, what if I don't make it back? Exactly. I don't make it back to space.

I just really wanted to know what he thought about the Heat and Bulls.

Chapter 7: What are some of the boldest listener takes from the weekend segment?
Too soon?
No. What, 190 years? No, 110 years.
Chris, how are the takes back there? People have been calling 305-486-GOTS. 305-486-GOTS. I'm surprised GOTS hasn't been calling 305-486-GOTS. I've had the time, that's for sure. We have... 4-6-8-9 is the way that it goes.
Boost has been a very good sponsor, but I have not thought that they should be a proud sponsor of this segment because I've been disappointed for a while with our callers and the competition between our callers. But they have improved recently.
Yes, and everyone disagrees with you. I think they've been great recently. It's the Boost Mobile boldest take from the weekend. It's presented by Boost Mobile, the newest 5G network in the country. It's our listeners with their chance to shine. We do a lot of takes around here. We give the audience a chance to give us their takes, and let's see what they got for us this week.
Hey guys, it's Scott on a mobile car phone. My hot take is that Paul Skeens and Libby Dunn in a doubles tennis match versus only Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis wins that every day of the week. I'll hang up and listen.
There is something seriously wrong with grown men wanting high fives from golfers in between holes.
We've all seen him run. Stop calling Tom Brady the greatest athlete ever.
What up, guys? This is Cody from Tennessee. Look like a husky, Sergio Garcia. I've got a limited fake Billy Ray Cyrus for you. Whose balls are juiced?

Chapter 8: Why do adults want high fives from golfers according to the listeners?
So was it Anthony Davis' first Libby Dunn and Paul Skeens?
Yeah, does he get two rackets or is it just him on his own? Like, can he hit with both hands? I think one racket. It'd be confusing for two.
Why would he have two, Jeremy?
I don't know. Just for the extra reach. If you're playing two on one, get him an extra racket. I mean, they have two. Why not? Yeah, they have two rackets. He should get two rackets if he wants it.
I feel like you're picturing like an octopus, though. Not like a human man.
Anthony Davis, yeah. I think I'd be worse at tennis with two rackets.
Most people would be.
Yeah, all right. You know what? I take it back. You should have tased me when I asked the question.
Just pastels, patterned shirt, a dad cap. Which hole you guys want to go to?
