I remember we had a conversation about, we was in Houston and Dwight had a snake and he was trying to prove it to everybody that a snake is better than a dog. And like people was arguing like, man, get the hell on. So James was like, man, you can't tell a snake, like, hey man, get the hell on. Like, stop, no, move, move. You know what I'm saying? So he was like, yeah, no, you can't, but it's still the best animal. Then like the next day, he had a snake, took it out of the cage and bit him.

31:00He couldn't practice. He had to mispractice because the snake bit him. Man, my oldest, Gavin, he asked me about two years ago. He was like, Pop, man, I want a snake for my birthday.

Come on. Yeah, I'm trying to tell you. Come on. Come on. Come on. Oh, yeah. Good to see. Yeah. Oh, no, sir. Boy, I'm so glad I know you got that now. Hey, listen. Hey, let's check out Bleacher Report. 99 best defenders of all time. Just that list that Tony Allen was talking about earlier. Look, we got Bill Russell, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Hakeem Olajuwon, Ben Wallace, Dikembe Mutombo, Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, Rudy Gobert, excuse me, Draymond Green, the round off the top 10.

32:43Then after that, you go David Robinson, Kawhi Leonard, Dwight Howard, Gary Payton,

32:56Michael Jordan, and then you got, oh, that's what it was. You seen T.A. on it, that LeBron was ahead of him? Yeah, T.A. like 23, Brown, what, 22? Yeah, yeah, it is. Brown, 22. T.A. 23. Did you say Dwight Howard, though? Yeah, he said Dwight. Okay. Dwight, 13. I'm going to keep it 100 with you here. I mean, there's some tough ones in that top eight. With Bill Russell, Tim Duncan, KG, Hakeem, Ben Wallace, the Kimba Mutombo, Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pimmons. But Dwight was a smooth note. Yeah. Smooth grub with him. But we played him. We played him real playoff series against that man. That man was defensive player of the year.

33:45he was clogging up the paint by his damn self truly hey thanks so a18 you seen ta on here ta went in man ta say hey hey i told ta i said man all them damn jobs lebron gotta do bro you want him to chase the best player around for the whole damn game how do you think he gonna be able to do all the jobs he got to do man hey hey i'm with ta on the window ta had to guard everybody and ga told y 'all if he ain't doing that he ain't playing he no he's supposed to that the base of what we're saying he's supposed to do that yeah yeah that that was his only job he can't take one break he can't he can't and that's how it was bro yeah but see he he definitely did take one break but i think joe was trying to tell him like he couldn't take one break on that's one thing lebron had eight things that's what i was saying You can't take a break on eight.

34:44You know what I mean? I absolutely agree, but we're talking about one list of one thing. Yeah. But if I tell you, if somebody specified what they needed you to do, you know what I'm saying, as far as like in the league, I just need you to do this one thing. No, I agree with you. I agree with you. You will have longevity, you know what I mean? You would have probably played 12, 13 years. you know what I'm saying I agree with you I'm just saying though just one thing you know what I'm saying yeah I get it bro check this out NBA players he was elite at it though oh yeah like you said though elite for sure I played with T.A.

35:34a year and we were down 20 to Golden State this is Clay and all them, they're a little young at this time, but they still boogieing. And we down 20, we get back in the game, and T.A., in the middle of the game, he come out of the bench and said, I'm about to get this steal. I'm sitting over there like, yeah, okay, whatever. I kid you not, that man got this steal, that same play. He knew exactly what was coming. It was extremely impressive. I think that was one of the first games where he started doing the first team, first team, first team. But people don't know how smart of IQ you have to have to.

36:06Man, there you go. You got to really watch a person's whole game. You know what I'm saying? You got to watch the game. Maybe more than one time. You know what I'm saying? Just to be able to see, you know what I'm saying? Just pay attention to the details of how he scores, where you want to score the ball at, how you can make him counter to what you want them to do. Yeah. And you hear that man, his flowers again, man, if there's one person I wish I could have took more from, watching them develop and play and all of that was Tony. Tony's from Chicago. It's kind of a Chicago thing. You got Darnell Chicago, Tony Chicago.

36:50Yep, yep, yep. And sitting there learning from Tony, I wish I would have took a little more of that in because he's the ultimate pro, man. Because if he doesn't do what he did, like he said, man, he's probably overseas somewhere. But Tony was the ultimate pro. walk around his laptop watching film all three hours before the game playing future the whole time that's tone oh yeah listen that's tone you gotta revive his career after that that that crazy injury he did when you know he dunked that ball and came down and you know it was a dead ball and towards acl he was able to come back and and stay you know what 10 more years after that was special.

37:29Oh, yeah. For me, man, because he guarded me, you know, a lot, it was him being able to anticipate. He had great in, you know, he was great at anticipating, you know, timing your dribbles, you know, timing your steps. And that's what great defenders do, bro. I always felt like, though, if you was a pretty good offensive guy, like I ain't never really thought you should have been bad defensively. You know what I mean, Jeremy Smoove? Meaning like because you're so good offensively, You should be able to like, I feel like defense is a will. It's a want to. You have to want to play defense because you should be able to be able to anticipate guys before they do moves because you've done them so many times.

38:08It's body language and how people move. And if you watch enough film and you lock in, bro, but when you're out here doing eight, nine other different things, some going to have to take a little back seat. You know what I mean? And T.A. wasn't lying. He wasn't lying now. but you ain't putting brawn on the best player no whole damn game and you want him to go do 10 other different things no sir re-bob it don't happen like that hey nba players achilles tendon tears are linked to small spikes in playing time study finds a recent study found that players log more more minutes than their season averages during the 10 to 15 games before their achilles tendons rupture what do you guys think about achilles tears smooth you tore your achilles in the big three hold on before you get to your story germany he tore his achilles in the big three guess who had to wheel him through the airport yeah look like look how god worked look i see i i i come to the airport i see smooth he's struggling and buckling in a wheelchair i'm like damn what's going on i said come on man let me get that man rolling man up Hey, Smoove, tell us, man.

39:21Tell us about that Achilles tendon tear, bro. It's nothing to play with, man. It's no joke. I'm saying, did you feel, before you tore it, did you feel anything? Like, did you feel it getting weak? Did you have any problems a week prior? Or it just, it was normal? No, I didn't. I mean, I think, I think when I dunked the ball, because I haven't did it in a long time, I think it probably put my body in the shot. You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? Like, kind of like, you know, when I was playing the big three, I already had my mind made up on how I was gonna play it. I wasn't trying to go 100%.

39:57You know what I'm saying? You already know. It's a great league, but you know, you gotta be able to, you don't wanna go out like, you don't wanna blow a tire like that. In that type of environment, you know what I'm saying? I would've rather did it in the NBA if I was gonna do it, you know what I'm saying? But for me to be able to have a healthy career like that and then go to the big three and then do that, it was kind of like I didn't pick a ball up for a minute. But I don't know, them low shoes. I used to wear like mid-ears and highs. I don't know. I'm trying to blame all kind of stuff. Maybe because I had some lows on.

40:33I don't know, man. I don't know how it happened. But I pumped fake it and tried to pull off that right. But it fell. I'm saying, did you look back? You thought somebody tripped you like it normally happened? Yeah, when I look back and I ain't see nobody there, I was like, I knew what it was. I just shook my head, man. I couldn't believe it. Man, listen, when we were playing here for the Atlanta Hawks 2000, this had to be 2009, Jeremy, I was sitting out. I don't know if Smoot remembers this, but they had sent me out for like a week. Smoot, y 'all went on West Coast trip. I think you had them cut up.

41:09You had them balled out West Coast trip. I was here in Atlanta with Wally Blaze getting treatment every day. It was your calf, right? Yeah, it was my calf. My calf was sore. I had a knot. I literally had a knot in my Achilles, in the middle of my Achilles, and Doc told me, he's like, it's going to pop if you keep playing. So they ended up shutting me down, Jeremy. So the team going off. I'm just going to the arena every day, just getting treatment, me and Wally Blaze. And after about two days of treatment, I'm like, Blaze, man, I got to break a sweat, bro. I ain't broke no sweat. Like, they going to come back off this road trip.

41:41You know, they're going to throw me back out there. I'm already 35, 40 minutes a night. You know what's going to happen. He was like, because you know, with that type of injury, Smooth, Jeremy, you can't, it's hard to walk, let alone jog, get on a bike. You can't do none of that. Like when that thing inflamed, it's a wrap, bro. You know what I mean? So, so he said, he said, man, you should come try hot yoga with me and my wife. I look at him, Jeremy, I'm like, man, I ain't finna do no damn hot yoga. That's exactly what I told him. I ain't finna do no damn hot yoga. And boom, I grabbed my bag, Smooth.

42:10who I left. His wife called me on the way to the crib. She's like, Joe, I think you should come try the hot yoga. It'll loosen up your quad muscles, take the pressure off your knees. It'll loosen up your hamstring, take the pressure off your low back. It'll loosen up your calf muscles and it'll take the pressure off your Achilles. So I'm like, all right, she done told me something. Now I'm willing to do anything to get back right, get back healthy. Hell, y 'all finna come back off the road, Smooth. I'm ready to get back out there, get to some action. Right. Boom. Jerry, am I going now? I meet them up there.

42:42We do the hot yoga class, bro. I've never in life sweated this hard in my life, bro. I felt like a totally different person after class. After class, I'm talking about I felt like my movement was better. My body had done opened up. You know what I mean? I ain't here. I still got some aches and pains, but I feel pretty damn good. Boom. Blaze tell me, he said, just meet me at the arena the next day, and we just come follow up with treatment. I said, all right, cool. But I was so geeked. I'm like, man, I'm going back tomorrow because I felt good. I felt like if I go two days in a row, he was like, nah, don't go two days in a row.

43:16Just come to the rent and get treatment. I was like, all right, cool. But I still went anyway. I ain't telling. Man, I almost passed out in class because I ain't understand hydration. Hydration. I ain't understand how to hydrate, how to replenish the body. Because hot yoga, although it's a detox and it takes all the bad out, hell, it takes all the good too. So you have to put the good back in. I ain't understand that early. I'm just going, you know what I mean? I'm getting my little stretch on because I wasn't flexible at all. I couldn't like, you know, touch my toes or none of that. And without flexibility, you know, you're bound to get injured.

43:53You know what I mean? That's what they kept telling me. So man, I took a liking in the yoga bro for Wally Blaze who hooked me up. But if it wasn't for that, I probably would have had a real major Achilles tear. I'm talking about, I literally had a knot in mind. Like, I couldn't even walk in the morning, bro. That's how bad it was. So, hopefully, you know, we don't have no more Achilles tears to, you know, none of our top guys in the league, bro. But it's unfortunate because this is what we talk about, German and smooth. You know, these guys take the regular season. They just kind of take it as a joke.

44:25Not necessarily as a joke, but they don't really take it that serious. They want to, you know, hurry up and get to the postseason. Well, when we get to the postseason and you out there going full throttle and you ain't went full throttle all damn year, that's when we starting to see these tears because every possession is idle at an all-time high. You know what I mean? Like you playing your hardest. So I can kind of see how these Achilles tears are happening, but I hope they can crack down on it, man. I seen my boy, Dame Little. I said, he been in the gym. He look good, man. He look like he getting back.

45:01You seen him, Jeremy? Man, that man at gym every day. Every day working hard. Got to admire it, man. Got to admire it. For sure. I do, bro. You know. You feel so good. I seen him running some 17s like you back in high school. I seen it too, bro. Yeah, bro. And don't sleep on what's going on up there in Portland right now. What you mean? What's going on? What you got? You see what they just did in the first round. You getting Dame back and they just made a move. Man, them people. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on, hold on. And people are doing something. They went and got Ja, Jeremy. They can't keep all them guards.

45:36You got School Henderson. You got Drew Holiday. You can't keep King Ruff. Some got to change. But what they got up there, they got something up there. They got something, but here's a question. Second-round team, for sure. Hold on, hold on, hold on. They got something, but here's a question. Will Ja, as great as he is with the ball in his hand smooth, will Ja be able to play off ball? Because we know Dame can play off ball. Hell, he can catch and shoot with the best of them. That's what I was about to say. We got to see what Ja been doing as far as his floor space. Can he catch and shoot? Can he space the floor like how you said Dame can do?

46:16Or like how Drew can do. Drew done mastered the art of space in the floor as well. So that's going to be the next evolution, the next step of seeing. And that's the only way that this whole thing is going to be able to work. If guys are able to play off ball a little bit, let the other guy kind of like run the offense or be able to get touch paint whenever to be able to, you know, make teammates better as well, too, to kind of take that pressure off a job of other guards. Yeah. Yeah. You know, A.A., y 'all both know, man, the point guard position nowadays is at a premium, meaning, man, if you can't score the ball, hell, if you can't shoot the ball, and that's my only concern, in germany when we talk about portland uh job job three-point percentage has been bad bro i think he had i think he low 20s man if i ain't mistaken you you don't have jobs had to take more off the dribble in memphis he had nobody can get off the ball and handle that ball and create for him now you're getting up there to portland where you got dame is gonna handle the ball you got drew that can handle the ball you got scoop whether they bring them off the bench or not that can also create open shots for him i'm not saying he gonna go up there and shoot 45 But when Dame's shooting that ball at the clip he's going to shoot it at, they got to help off somebody, and that's an easier shot for Ja to take his time.

47:32And I'm sure he's in the gym because he's got some get-back he wants to get, I'm sure. For sure, yeah. I want to see Ja get back to having fun, man, enjoying the game, smiling, doing his little celebration antics. But I ain't going to lie to y 'all, bro. I ain't going to lie. I'm a little worried because, you know, it's a lot different when he was in Memphis and he had the ball in his hands every damn possession. So it ain't really that hard to get in rhythm. Now, you in Portland, you're going to have at least two other elite guards next to you, meaning Dame Lillard, Drew Holiday, or School Hensley.

48:10You're going to have at least two of them. And I don't know if the rep's going to be enough, bro. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know if the rep's going to be enough for him to really get in ref form, for him to really kind of get that, gain that confidence back. I hope it is, but if he struggles with shooting the basketball, you know, playing off these guys, it's going to be a lot tougher than what I think people anticipate, bro. I think they got better players around them now. Like Danny has come on in. That's exactly what I'm saying. You're making my point. But they make that move.

48:46They got to let him be who he is. they gotta let him be who he is because if you don't I think he's the he's the only point guard out of all those four that can just touch paint whenever he wants to though so he he creates a different type of advantage over the rest of those guards because you know you got like Damian Littles coming off of an ACR injury but even before that he wasn't really trying to go to the hole and touch paint for real like that he was doing step back jump shots and shooting deep threes. Yeah. You know, I think Drew Holiday is more of a set-up guard, but he's getting older, so I don't think, you know, touching paint at will is part of his game anymore.

49:30Yeah. And, you know, Scoo Henderson, he's another guy that can touch paint as well, but I haven't seen him be an elite playmaker yet. So I would like to see him take the next step of being more of an elite playmaker. He has the athleticism and the physicality to be able to get in the paint, but I want to see him make his teammates better as well. See how he can see the floor a little bit better. You know what I mean? Hey, I'm with you on that, Smooth, because he showed me something in that Spurs series and that first round, them first two games in San Antonio. I'm telling you, look, we know the defenders, that San Antonio guy, they couldn't do nothing with him them first two games, bro.

50:10What confidence do in that moment? That confidence carrying over into next year no change yeah but but look though that's what i'm talking about like damn school had a great showing in the postseason but now he coming here he behind three damn other point guard yeah the coach how he posted how he supposed to be able to get ears off you feel what i'm saying so i don't know man i hope portland figure it out obviously they got a good problem uh hopefully you know all those guys stay healthy i'm looking forward to a dame one of my favorite players to right so yeah they're gonna be a lot of fun hey fellas i don't know if y 'all been watching the w nba but uh olivia miles from minnesota this season she's averaging 19.7 points per game 4.7 rebounds five about six assists 30 30 50 38 88 no that's a stat line 50 from the field 38 from 388 from the free throw line.

51:10So she almost 50-40-90. Yeah, you look easy, Joe. Man, listen, she will be the highest scoring rookie point guard since 97. Jeremy, you're right. She's smooth. I don't know if you've seen her play, bro. No, I seen her. You know, I watched her when she was at Notre Dame. Oh, did you? Yeah, then she went to TCU last year, but she's cold. She's one of them ones for sure. Bro. I'm definitely a fan. I'm definitely a fan, man. Bro, look, she went off against the Fever today for 28 and had six assists, 11 for 14 from the field, three for six from three. Man, y 'all are so nice, man. I'm talking about, like, when you watch - I can't wait till they get that.

51:55When they get the other girl back, what's up? She back, uh, uh, uh, nah, it's, what is it? The Fiesta called, yeah, she back. She cold, she's cold, she cold. Now, they got an opportunity to probably win the whole thing now that she backed off. Hey, smooth. That's exactly what I was going to say, bro. It was legit, bro. Man, listen. Jeremy, when I watch Olivia Miles, bro, you know, we watch great point guards. The most glaring thing that sticks out is their patience, their poise, their pace that they play with. You know what I mean? Bro, she can see. It's the dimes she make. It ain't just the scoring for me, man.

52:32It's like the feel for the game. Do you look comfortable out there? Like, her moves look like dudes. Like, she out there, she hitting girls with, I'm talking about a yank snatch. I'm talking about, come on, man. That girl got a total package. Shmoo, you right. I think they got a great chance. They got a great chance to compete for a title. I'm still rooting for ATL, though. I'm still rooting for ATL. Jeremy, you like watching Olivia Miles, bro? You got to. If you appreciate the game and you see the pace she plays with and how she finds her teammates and she's getting to the basket and the fact that she's almost 40 50 90 is unreal bro and and she got that she got that little flair in her game too that i like you know i mean somebody who shit everything hey hey hey hey smooth she want all the smoke out there man for sure they can play bro she got game like hey look i'll spend my money to go check out you hear me and she letting the girls know that they can't guard her oh yeah every time she barking she barking at him yeah yeah she got a little chip on her shoulder.

53:34I like that though. Check me out. It's time. When you're moving like I do, trips don't always come together weeks in advance.

55:31Learn more at rasmussen.edu. Hey, it's Angela Yee from Lip Service. In a special mini episode, we're talking about why open, honest conversations matter. From relationships and identity to sexual health and HIV prevention. Because when we stop treating these topics like taboos, we give ourselves permission to take control of our health and live more openly. I felt like in our community, we weren't having these open and honest conversations about sex with no stigma attached to it. A lot of times people could feel like embarrassed to talk about things like sexual preferences, about STIs, what we're doing in the bedroom.

1:08:52The dog too, man. Oh man, what you talking about? He's always gonna find a way to get minutes. I mean, I'm pretty sure Kyler Perry didn't expect him to play that many minutes throughout the season, but he showed why he was able to stay on that floor, man. And I think he's the implementer player. The reason why Kyler Perry is telling the new regime that came in that, hey, look, I'm gonna play dogs. You know what I'm saying? And I think that's because of Malik and Acuff. They demonstrated that type of mentality when they stepped on the floor, especially being that young. I think he going to give himself an opportunity just because of who he is as a player.

1:09:33Yeah. Got that dog mentality. Got that dog mentality. Ain't going to be denied. You know what I mean? Ain't going to be denied, man. A hard worker. He's going to put the work in.
