And we are live, yeah, baby. All right, live YouTube, Twitch, Fandall here. Well, not Fandall, it's Rob here on the Fandall account with Brian Fonseca, Chantel, and Justin Henry. I lost my voice there for a second. How's everybody doing tonight? Fantastic Saturday, we already off to a good start there. Team Cav's kind of taking the stuff away here for Saturday night. How's everybody doing, Brian? Let's start, you're in my view here in the corner. Let's go, Brian, Justin, Chantel. How are we doing today? Plus 200 on the Cavs. So we're off to a good start. The Parley's still alive before we get to the three-point shootout, you know what I'm saying? We're definitely going to get into that, right? Because there's, to my surprise, not surprise, but to my enjoyment, I guess, that people are actually like really betting on this stuff. And I'm just like, cool. Yeah, why not? Let's just have fun with it, make it more interesting. Man, I always love Saturday night. Like, this has been one of my favorite times, growing up, watching the Dunk Contest, three-point contest. I was a huge Die Hard fan. So to me, I want to see the Dunk Contest, man. Young Jalen Green, Efferless Hops is what they called him down in the G-League, Brian Shaw. So I want to see someone that on display tonight. You know what? This is going to be fun, just like Justin was saying. I love All-Star Saturday, the Dunk Contest.  I'm going to roll with Obi. But my Parley is still alive as well. I have the Cav. So this three-point competition, though, this might be the game changer for me, because it could go a couple different ways. I'm not even sure, because there are some shooters in this one. Yeah, so let's recap where we were Saturday. Well, let's go back to last night. Anybody, any thoughts on Friday night? Do we have any celebrity game thoughts besides Miles Garrett, Duncan, and everybody? I mean, Miles Garrett could have been in the Dunk Contest tonight. That was crazy.  That's not fair. That's legit, like, his arms have arms. Like, I don't know if he's real. Like, I understand why Mason Rudolph was really mad at him. I get it, I understand. That's a huge man.  We're good. Everybody just get on his way, good call. And what was the last, oh, it was the Rising Stars. Did you guys like that format? What did you think? Like, the little teams fighting off against each other, battling, anybody have thoughts? I thought it was pretty cool, but like, maybe we need a couple more runs of it to see if we can nail it down better. Yeah, I think that makes a lot of sense. I was mad skeptical of the Rising Stars challenge because when they first announced it, I felt like they were just doing too much. And, you know, I think a lot of people hesitated with a lot of the things that we're seeing. We just saw the skills challenge, and I'm sure we're going to get to that. But with the Rising Stars challenge, yeah, like, I was skeptical going in. I feel better about it now having watched it and like having a point to get to 50 points. Like, that makes it a little more fun, a little more entertaining, I feel like. So I think they're going to continue to tweak it a little bit to really perfect it. But I like it. I still prefer just going back to Rookie's versus Sophomores. But if you could make a little tournament event, I'm not going to be mad at it. Like, let's try it. I'll see what happens. I'm down with going back to like Rookie's versus Sophomores. That was the event that everyone wanted to see because everyone always wants to know who has the better draft class, right? So that event to me is one that I'm always like, all right, let's see who had the better draft class this year or the year before. So I think they got to go back to that. I like how they're tweaking things, changing it up, because I think like basketball has changed so much. So there's new fans. It's a younger demographic. But I think if we go back to that classic event, I think people will be hype about it. But I, you know, I just, I liked it, but I wasn't like too hype about it. Yeah, I think they, I think the whole All-Star weekend is just going to convert over to the points, the finite points. And I think that's a good move. It makes it really competitive, even though the rookie, I mean, the game wasn't too competitive. You still kind of sense that towards the end. You saw Cole Anthony doing whatever he did at the free throw line to try to get him to miss. So I think at the end of the day, it's a good format. Rookie Sophomore, I'd be curious to see what it looks like with the points on there. Cause I think they might take it a little bit more competitively first year, second year players. Yeah, I think it, I think the whole situation of like, also incorporating the legends into it is a cool thing too. Cause Rick Berry, you know, taking for what you will, but he was like really proud of those guys last night. He was like, you know, they played real basketball. It passed. Basketball should be played. I'm like, all right, all right, all right. The dunk contest is happening, I'd say probably like in an hour or so, they're about to do a three-point contest. So no worries for those curious. And of course the All-Star Facilities, RMTNT or your local streaming provider, not here. We're just going to react, have a good time. Three-point should be fun though. I mean, these guys are about to torch it up. But yeah, I mean, overall, I enjoyed what Ryzen starts. I mean, at the end of the day, it's All-Star weekend, right? Like you can't sit here and try to expect dudes to be like, all right, put, lock it in. I mean, Evan Mobley though, he kind of was locked in in this skills challenge.  It's amazing what those guys do. Yeah, it's amazing what those guys do. He was doing that at USC. Oh, sorry, I was just going to say, like he was doing that in USC though too. Like he was able to hit shots when he was in college. So underrated for sure. Yeah, and I would say a lot of, that's the beauty of the showcase challenge that a lot of people don't realize how good these guys are, even the big, so you got Jared Allen out there, you got Yannis out there splashing. It's like during non-game situations, these guys knocked down shots and I think the level of play is just really evident there in those kind of showcases. What I found myself doing as I was watching this was like formulating, all right, so we got the Ante de Kumpo brothers, we got the Cavs, we have, you know, the rookies and I'm formulating, all right, could we get a veterans team? Rob, I was tweeting at the NBA. I was like, could we get an all Latino team? You know what I'm saying? Juan Toscano is in the dunk contest. We could put, we got him, Jose Alvarado, Al Horford. Alvarado and Cat. We have a squad. We have a squad, we can do this. Cat's already out all-star weekend. And Caranthi Chavez. Anderson Varage, y'all, you want a legend? He's chilling too. He was just up to school at the game yesterday. You know, there's enough Spanish that you could definitely put out there.  Because I remember, what was it, like five, six years ago, they did it by city. So it was like Team Houston, I remember one year. It was like, like Swing Cash and like a Rockets player and like James Harden. I thought that was cool too. And then it kind of went away from it. And then they did it one year with like Team Currie where it was like Dell, Steph and Seth. And then they went away from it. I'm just like, this is why fans don't connect with it, right? Because like keep panicking and changing everything, right? Because of one bad year or one bad Apple, right? Like everybody for the dunk contest were like, oh, Chris Anderson. And it's like, yeah, but that was like just one dude out of how many that year. And I understand it sucked, but like just tweak one thing. And then they change it to like this team thing or it's like Damien Lillard and Paul George and all these guys won at the same time. I'm like, what are we doing? What, just dunk, just dunk, just dunk. I don't think it's that hard. Just dunk, you know? And that's what a three point challenge works. Like they don't do anything, you know? And I remember in 2020 when I went to the All-Star game Buddy healed on it and they put that Mountain Dew shot and no shade to Mountain Dew or anything, but they put the Mountain Dew shot up there. It's like a five point shot or whatever. And Buddy just kept skipping it. So I asked them after the game, I was like, why'd you keep skipping? He was like, I'm just not used to it. Like I'm just, I know I could hit these shots and I'm just gonna spend so much time going out there, pulling up from this five point shots, like a half court shot. He's like, I can hit all these shots. That shot, I have to go out and fin it. And it's like, just like, does that fun? I don't know. It's just, it's sometimes too complicated. Wait, hold up. So you're saying that you didn't like it when they had the dunk contest where you like spin the wheel and then you have to like do, you didn't like that. I didn't like it either. That was trash. It was unbearable. Now that you bring that up, Shanta, one of the, I hope we don't see this today. Like I stopped interviewing people right before their dunk and asking them like what they're about to do. Who is this for, whatever. Just like, yo, just let's just see a dunk contest. Like let's just see people go out there and just do their dunks. I don't want them to have to send Stephanie ready to just interview them. Like I'm sure she don't want to do that either. Let her chill. She's doing her job. She's doing a good job but she doesn't have to interview all the dunkers before and after every dunk. Like come on. And Rob made a really good point too. Like the reason why the three point contest has just been around, it's effective. They've kept it the same. And it's like the dunk contest that comes on and we got a four person entries now instead of it being eight where it used to be a little bit longer. We got to see a little bit more. The dunk contest judges has become a celebrity game as opposed to like actually qualify people who can judge the dunks. And so we've seen the effects of that and it's lowered the quality of the dunk contest. We saw obviously the DeWayne Wade year, you know, the Aaron Gordon, Zach Levine thing but still at the end of the day. I have no problem.  I have no problem with having a, you know, WNBA player, NBA player, whatever the case may be. Like there versus like a celeb. Like, you know, put an actor up there. I'm just like, and there's no shade.  Like who am I to say who can judge and whatever. But like from a fan standpoint, like I want Dominique.  Fly out, Zach Levine, you know, pay him for an appearance, right?  You know what I mean? Like they can spice it up a little bit and make him feel special as a dunk contest judge. Like I want to see those dudes. I don't want to see Leslie Jones up there. Like no offense to Leslie Jones, but like, I don't want to see that. I just don't. Like sometimes like it's just, they just try too hard. So, and by the way, the three-point contest that start by the way for those tuned in, Desmond Bain. Yeah, Desmond Bain. I like that guy. Shout out to my guy Dave Dufour by the way. I don't know if my guy Dave's watching or not, but Dave Dufour own up for a long time was telling me about this kid Desmond Bain. He's like, yo man, this guy, two-way player. He's like a guard. He's nice. Real nice. He's been nice for me in fantasy too. Like he was a good pick that people slept on this season. So, he's been tearing it up. But this guy right here, CJ McCullum, the home time kid. I don't know, I think he might shine tonight in this three-point competition. He looks like Dave. The thing that I'm worried about with like CJ McCullum and some of these other guys like Trey Young is that a lot of their three-pointers come off the dribble as opposed to like this where you're getting it off a rack. So, I sort of lean to the catch and shoot guys. So I got a little bit of money on Patty Mills. That's why. Copa Pongo is a three-time winner. That's why Craig Hodges is a three-time winner. You know what I mean? Like these guys, their career, they were catching shoot three-point shooters. Like look at the careers of those guys who won the most three-point shooter. Even Reggie Miller, right? Reggie coming off screen. He wasn't a, he wasn't Currie. Reggie would be the first one to tell you. He said, man, if I had moved like Currie, I'd be making sport a lot more points. CJ's not off the rest of the spectrum. I kind of like what Zach Levine is going to do today because he's the one player to me that has the biggest wild card. After winning the dunk contest, he's been back in his contest a few times. So I think he really, really wants to win this. He'll be more somebody else. I believe this is a third time doing it. We're all second in a row wanting to win this. I don't know, like, there are some dudes, I remember the one year Dame did it, they did all of it in the one weekend. Yeah. Dude tour legit, like, I want to win all this the whole weekend and I want to see somebody do it. I wonder who could do it. That was a bad dunk contest he was in though. Wasn't he in the team one? Yes, that was a weird time. Three on three one. So I was like, yeah, I guess he won, but he didn't and then he lost the three point shootout. But he was part of the six man tag. The only thing with Levine, yeah. The only thing with Levine though, he's got that knee injury, right?  So I kind of held off on betting on Zach on that one. Yeah, Patty looks good. I saw the IG post for Patty Mills. It looked like he was locked in too, Brian. You mentioned him being one of the, you know, kind of favorites that could be in this kind of competition. And to me, Patty Mills, man, just, he's scary if he gets hot. Yeah. Yeah. Lucanard I think had, he was the favorite. He was like plus four, 20 or something along those lines. And Patty Mills was right behind him. That made a lot of sense to me. Lucanard is actually going right now. See, and I like him because like he has a quick release. He has the quickest release. Like Desmond Bain, I got a little nervous because he was just coming out there and chilling. Yeah, he was coming out there and was chilling.   So we'll see how he does, but he's off to, look, he's off to a good start. He sees him a column as we were talking, just had a good round too. So that made me a little nervous. The three-point contest is all about who can still shoot, who has the legs to be shooting in that last round to be able to hit. So I think that's the big point there. Lucanard just cleaned the rest, boy. Oh, wow. Keep watching them with this ball. That first time when they get to that Mountain Dew ball, they always almost skip it. Canard just did it, CJ just did it, doesn't they almost skip it and they come back to it. They're like, oh, damn, I gotta go back. They always do it. I don't like that addition, just make one of the balls on the rack of Mountain Dew ball. That's what I love. That's what they should do.  That was fire. And then fine, let them pick it wherever or maybe let them spread the balls out, right? Like maybe you put two on this rack, two on that rack and like one over here, whatever. But like adding just like a different spot just because like Steph Curry likes to shoot from 30 feet. It's just like, it's like, that's not fair to everybody else, right? It's just like, it's crazy. Canard look good this round though. He really did. I was just about to say, he looked locked in. Locked in, he looks like he'll be moving on to the next round for sure, but that score, man. 25 is what he finished with? Oh boy. That's a tough score to beat. That'll be a tough score to beat. One guy that I think kind of might be a sleeper too is Fred Van Blee. Cause I know that like he's kind of like an off the dribble, you know, he'll pull up like that, but he's a guy that can make big buckets. And once he gets on a roll, he can be really, really streaky. So Fred Van Blee is a guy that could be a sleeper in this one too. Yeah, Zach. Zach, man, I just something about Zach Levine, man. I really, I feel like that legacy thing, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, for sure. I mean, I think you want to, for sure. Those, that jersey is so nice. It is. I was going to say, like, I'm like candy red. I like that the city jerseys are doing that. They're trying to incorporate some of the old school vibes. Yeah. And it's not like too old school to the point where it's like all the way back in like the sixties. Like this was like early, this was early Jordan. Yeah, I, this is like early, early nineties, late eighties.  Like, I'm sorry. I just, the blue one. Yeah. I'm not, I'm not a fan. Yeah, we can't talk about those ones, man. I got the hat on. We can't talk about those jerseys, man. I was like, can we skip to the Nipsey blue? Like, I don't like the old ones with the yellow on them. I know Kobe Rockin and one of the Slam magazines. So I still remember, but I'm not a fan at all. Yo, I remember, yo, in the NBA Live 04 like trailer, they had highlights of some of the Lakers wearing that blue uniform because they were using it in like the old 304 around that Smush Parker era. That one wasn't that bad though. That one wasn't that bad, but these new ones though, like I'm not feeling at all. Cause the old ones were like back in the day, like a lot of people would cop those ones and they were kind of flying. I don't know. I think it was kind of cool, but definitely I think they. Go ahead. Go ahead. What were you going to say?   It's way too thick. I don't like that. You know, I just like the classic man. I almost threw on the Kobe, the old school Kobe, the purple one, man, just to have it on during this, but the old school look, man, they should just bring those back. I don't know why they keep tweaking with the classic Laker uniform. There are teams in sports that literally don't have to do anything to their jerseys ever and it will sell the Lakers, the Yankees, the bulls, the bulls, the Cowboys, like the Giants. I'm a Giants fan and then like they do these red, they do something like, stop, stop, just do Giants blue, just do the white, red alternate. That's it, stop. They do the black, they do, I'm just like, stop. Like there's teams that like literally you just make, you just put the name on the back of the jersey and it's just going to print. Like it's always going to be on the top. And it's like, I don't understand why the NBA is like, I like them going to the old school, like the nineties, like they're, I'll talk about this all day, but like their prime logos is that nineties, from like 90, like early 91 to like 99, that is the prime NBA logos, for me in my opinion. Logos, jerseys, the whole thing. For them to lock into there, that's perfect, right? Like you can see it right now, Jaylen Green, he's wearing that, the old school, the Rockets with the rocket on it. Like they know, like that stuff's always going to be fire. So like that should be the throwback. There's some like classic ones, but like the Buffalo Braves or like the clip, like I just don't, I'm just like, what are we doing? What are we doing? What are we doing? It's like brown on me. That's the fabulous era, early 2000s. Right. That's the very, very bold. Got to wear the extra big. Yeah. No, I think one of the things I, you know, I don't know if we're going to touch on All-Star tomorrow, but one of the things I kind of miss was seeing the players in their own jerseys. You know what I mean? During the games, and I know there's a lot of custom jerseys. The only ones that really, that I really liked were the old Phoenix ones. I think it was like 94, 95 when they had them. Yeah, a little cactus or pepper or whatever it was on it. But I miss just seeing those old highlights yesterday from the T-Mac and AI thing, man, when they were in their old jerseys, I missed that. See, I'm of two minds on that because I agree. I think that's super dope. Like if they wear their own team jerseys, I think MLB too, if we want to talk All-Star, MLB should do that too. I think that's a dope look.  I think that's super dope. But I also love that jersey from Phoenix. I also love some of the other jerseys that they have. I think that the New York one, they had a couple of years ago, it was pretty dope too. The black, I think that was pretty white. Oh yeah, that one was nice. It was just like the black and white. So like, it's weird, right? It's a balance. I think like there's like the All-Star jerseys this year, no, but like some years in a certain city, it's actually like the theme of it, like the Phoenix one is fire. Like there's some that could look really dope. I think Toronto has good ones too, if I'm not mistaken. And like, Toronto's is okay. Yeah, those are pretty dope too. I think the best one though was, I think it was like All-Star 2001 in Atlanta or 2002. I love those jerseys. It's the one where that game went into OT, MJ was playing in it, Vince gave up his spot, KG1 MVP. Those jerseys were, I love those jerseys, like the MJ one, like that was a must buy. Yeah, that was the Mitchell and Ness, that was the one where it had the stars on the side, right? Yeah, yeah, those ones were nice. And it was just classic, right? Because usually it's like the West has their color, the East has their color, just classic. I think if they just stick to the classic-style jerseys, but change it up just a little bit, like those will sell, because then you're getting every demographic. And there's like nostalgia to it too. So like for like people like us, we're like, oh, okay, that's a little bit of that old flavor. So I definitely want to get some of that. I'm trying to find the tweet. I know FanDuel did it, oh, here it is. The old off-star jersey is the best. This one, I was like, I was looking at this and some of them are like actually legit. I'm just like, yeah, these are kind of can't miss. So yeah, so right here, 96, that one was from the Cactus in 95. 96, 96. 96 fired 90, this 91 jersey, I just like magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, right? Like this is so fire. So here's the Brooklyn one from New York, 2019. We can pass over 2012, I think we only need to press those. 2012, yeah, 2012. Those are terrible. Like even this though, like this 89, it just looks cool, right? Like this one's Toronto, I think, right? 2016, this one's like just clean. It's Kobe, I think it's Kobe for that one. It's just super clean. So like all these are really nice, except for 2012. 2012, I am on the fence right now. Is that Dallas, Houston? I can't even remember what that is, man. Maybe Houston, looks like Houston. What did you guys think when they just used to play in their own jerseys? Like I think it was in 2002, or like when they just played in like their regular jerseys. I thought that was really, really cool. And there were some great moments in those games as well. I think like when T-Mac threw it up off the backboard, he was just wearing like his regular jersey. Those are classic All-Star moments. They were showing, I don't know if anybody watched it, but they did that little versus, Iverson versus T-Mac classic, the Lutcher Report, Chasse Lutcher Report. And the one highlight Iverson showed, because like the way they did the versus was like, the way they do the versus for real, is like you pick your hits, right? And Iverson picked one where he threw the ball up to himself, caught it and did like a reverse layup under Kobe in the All-Star game, and they're both wearing the colors. And the picture of him hitting the layup under Kobe, it's just so beautiful. Like he's just like up and under just scoring this layup in the All-Star game. And he's like, man, just put the patch, right? Just put the patch on their jerseys. So it's like an All-Star jersey. Or maybe like add a stripe to the arm or something, right? Just to make it look more special. Maybe like add a gold stripe. Like remember how they add the gold tags on the back for the- Right at the top of the back of the neck? Yeah, add a little gold thing around the neck that says you're an All-Star, or like different competitions, like three point gets a green thing, dunk contest gets like a blue thing. You know what I mean? Like just make it a little, don't reinvent the wheel, just add to the car. And it's funny because all of us as fans are like, hey, we love that. We love seeing them in their old jerseys. And obviously just even watching that versus last night, man, it was cool just kind of going back in, like those are the iconic moments I think about, man. And I can really think about them being in those jerseys, watching Iverson take the ball from out of bounds and switching it to his other hand in the highlight. Like that's one of the more memorable All-Star games to be honest that I can think of anyway. There's so many All-Stars. I mean, just from a member when I was younger, the late 90s into the early 2000s, All-Star game, everything go like, I mean, dunk contest, Jason Richardson. I mean, you can't even like the NBA All-Star was an event for sure. But I mean, it still is. I'm not going to completely poop on it because it's still a good time. It's still a good time. I still love, I still always tune in.  I watched it. The whole thing from start to finish. It's got 21. That was a good score. Yeah, I mean, look, and now Karanthi Towns. Your Karanthi Towns had the longest odds. I was looking at it. It was like plus 1,200. And the thing that made me nervous was just like, I mean, is he going to get his releases, release going to be quick enough? And he's right now, he's actually doing work. Like six, 10 with a ratchet is him, dude. Like he's just torturing. I was worried about him long-term in this contest. I worried about Kat. Yeah. I feel like he's got the legs. I feel like the release is just a little more methodical than some of the other guys, you know? Like a Luke and Narn. I don't worry about it. He's taking it seriously at least. He's not playing it too cool. Like, I don't like the way Desmond Bayne came out. He's already eliminated because he was playing it too cool. You know what I'm saying? Had the jersey untapped. Yeah, yeah, like he was just moving around too slow. And it's like, yo, man, like this is why. Oh. This is why. And look. I like that last one. Nice. He took CJ McCullum out. CJ McCullum's out. And a lot of people were saying, a lot of people, when I asked earlier this morning, I was like, all right, like, I don't know how to bet on this. What are y'all going to do? A lot of people were saying, CJ McCullum, hometown, hometown. He stopped. He did the little, he did the little shimmy. He stopped it. And then he splashed it. There, there. Good for Kat, man. Honestly, I was sleeping on Kat. Like I was just like, I don't think he's going to be able to have the stamina to like make it all the way to the final because that's the thing. You can have a really good first round, but you got to be able to keep that up. So I don't know, man. I've been sleeping on Kat. I've been sleeping on Kat. We still got to see the release gets longer. The it just gets longer. It just like adds up for sure. So like the big guys definitely are at disadvantage.  He hit it confidently. I'll give him credit. That's good. It's good to see the big man in the contest. You know what I mean? It's good to see a guy like Kat in the contest competing with the guards, eliminating one of the top shooters in the league. I love seeing it. It just shows the versatility of all the players now. Fred Van Vleet just hit the side of the backboard on his first shot. I don't know if that's over. It was ugly. Yeah, but he's picking it up. He's picking it up. He's representing Canada tonight, Chantel, so. You know what?  I'm not a Raptor fan at all. I do not mention the Raptors. Toronto. Vancouver, very far from Toronto. Yeah, it's a lot more West Coast. Also, when I was growing up, we got all of the Knicks games, like NBA on NBC. So that's why I grew up like a Knicks fan. And we're closer to the West Coast, actually. So like went to Sonics games, Portland games, and stuff like that. OK.   You know what? No, I still got love for the Grizzlies. But even when I was a kid, when we got the Grizzlies, I was already like a Knicks fan. So I watched some documentary. I think it was the Bryant Reeves thing, but they were talking about the Vancouver Grizzlies first coming to Vancouver. And people were like, OK, sure. Bryant Reeves has a documentary? Yeah, it's called Finding the Country or something like that. Because he went missing. He completely went off the grid for 10 years to the point where the NBA couldn't contact him for legends appearances. They were asking him to come to stuff and they couldn't find him. This dude completely went off the grid. It's crazy. That documentary was a big deal in Canada, by the way. Everyone was watching that. But yeah, I think for the Grizzlies, Stu Jackson made terrible draft picks and they just weren't a good team. And I'm just keeping it real. And they didn't market them properly, but now we could definitely sustain an NBA team. And even back then, if you look at the Raptor games, Canadians didn't know how to cheer for basketball just on regular plays. You go see a game. No, for real, you go see a game and you're clapping for someone that takes a charge or something like that. They weren't doing that. When basketball first came to Canada, so they had to learn the game and everything. So that's important, too. Wow. Yeah, there was a story about how... I think this was actually an NJ's doc. And I think they talked about this, whether he played the game, they lost the first... It was something where they lost the game, the first game that Raptors played against the Bulls in the... What was the baseball stadium? And it's something about the fans there were all cheering for MJ to start the game. But by the time the game ended, everybody was cheering for the Raptors. Like all the fans came out, they pulled up because it was at the baseball stadium with the Metro, wherever they play up there in Toronto. No, Metro Dome's in Minneapolis. What is it? It was at the Rogers Center. It was like the Rogers Center back in the day. Yeah, it was called something else. It was called something like the Dome, the Sky Dome. It was called the Sky Dome. Sky Dome, there it is. There we go. WrestleMania, Rob, WrestleMania 18. But anyway, yeah, so Michael Jordan, yeah, he played there at the Sky Dome. All these places sold out. People are there watching the game and everybody's there cheering for MJ and the Bulls in Toronto. And then the Raptors have this huge upset, like arguably one of the biggest upsets in like NBA regular season history. Cause it was the expansion, like they just got a team yesterday. Like they were there for three days. Trey Young just took out Patty Mills, y'all. Crazy. Trey Young just took out Patty Mills. He does the thing with Trey though, like he's streaky, he's streaky though. He started off terrible.   Like not none, but like most of them are often terrible. You know what's what Trey Young in game is like, he'll be like, he'll take up like way back three pointer and he'll hit it. But when he's like close to the line, he'll totally miss it. But like Trey hits trays from far away. That's what I definitely noticed. Definitely like a deep threat. He's a rhythm shooter for sure too. But when he when he's on, he's one of the toughest in the game because he just don't miss even because he's been in the contest before. And it's like when he gets hot, Trey's a different type of breed.  I thought he would go pretty far in this tonight. I put my money on Patty, so. Yeah, yeah, not good. Hey, Jamal Hill redeemed me in UFC, so we're not looking too bad. I would say that much. You got a scary first round knockout against Johnny Walker. So with that, at least there's that. What about the dunk contest tonight, man? I'm so excited to see what Jalen does. It's always been a thing since Vince, obviously. Jay Rich came in there and tore things up. Desmond Mason came in there and did his thing for the early 2000. Then just recently, obviously, Zach Levine, Aaron Gordon. But it seems like a new wave is coming, man. I know you know the field. Obviously, Obi-Tah fan, Juan Toscano Anderson's in there. Who do you guys like tonight? I got Obi. I think Obi in-game, and I'm being kind of biased because I am a Nick's fan, but let's just keep it real. He was flying high in college and what he's done with the Nick so far, like in-game dunks. I think he's got the hops. He's a bigger guy. I feel like it's going to be similar to when Amari Stottemeyer was in the dunk contest too, but there's something about Obi where I feel like he has a little bit more athleticism. So I got Obi winning this competition, but I think Jalen Green is definitely a sleeper. What about you guys? I'm also a Nick's fan, and all I want to say is, Obi, don't put it between your legs. We've seen that like six hundred times every time you're dunking a game. I'm fooled. That's a signature. You know he's going to do it. Put it under both legs. Do the hole. You know what I mean? You can probably do that. He don't got the bounce for that, man. I also think Obi's going to win. I mean, a lot of people thought he should have won last year, which is why he's back here. I think that he's going to win, but I am going to be probably rooting for both Juan Toscano Anderson and Cole Anthony. I would like to see. Juan Toscano Anderson, you already know. I got a rep for my Latino brothers and ancestors, and he's Mexican. So we ain't got too many Latinos in the NBA. So I'm hoping that Juan Toscano Anderson puts on the show. And then with Cole Anthony, he played high school right around the way. Like he was a New York City kid at one point playing at Archbishop Malloy with Moses Brown. And he's somebody who, I think some people were surprised by his placement in the dunk contest, but I actually think he's going to try to put on the show. I actually think this dunk contest is going to be good. Like people were sleeping on it a little bit. I think this is going to be really good. I think everybody's going to come out and try to put on a show. And Jalen Green, who I didn't mention, we all did, that dude is not coming to lose. So I'm excited about like what they all come up with. I'm nervous only because like we've seen a lot of different dunks, but that's going to test their creativity. So I want to see what they come up with. I think this contest, man, I got to cover Juan Toscano Anderson in Jalen Green pretty heavily last year, covering the Ignite team and the Stockton Kings out here in California. So seeing Toscano Anderson, he gets up, man. He gets up. So definitely one of the long shots, but I think he has a chance. Jalen Green though, if y'all haven't met, Jalen Green is just one of those, he has a different bounce to it. He walks a different way, he jumps a different way. And curious to see what he comes up with, man, because this is one of the staples for a lot of the young players. When they come in, they want to put a name on for themselves. Jalen Green, this is his opportunity for sure. I did want to shout out to everybody on YouTube. Shout out to all the Dr. Disrespect fans. He's not around tonight on this channel, but he is throwing down some dunks at NBA All-Star Weekend, as you can see here. Shout out to Doc, shout out to Doc as always. Yeah, I agree. I would say overall with the dunk contest, the sentiment for me as an expand, yeah, I'm going to lean towards OB. But like, I mean, even if you look at the odds, I wonder if they're still up here. Oh, I don't have them here. Hold on, let me look at them. I think they're only available in certain states. But yeah, I like OB and Jalen Green to your point. Jalen Green is very good. Like Jalen Green is insanely, I think like him coming out and putting on a show, having that kind of horrible season that the Rockets have had, I think would be kind of important for the organization to be like, hey, look, we have a dunk contest winner, right? Like, I mean, just for them to get a win, right? This year would be kind of like big for them, I think. I just think like him being on the stage, even if it's not the biggest stage, it's Cleveland, like maybe some people are downplaying dunk contest, sure. But I think it's going to be big for him. I think it'll be important for him. And I think him kind of securing his spot as like, not only just I'm the next big talent, but I'm also pretty athletic. I can put on a show, I can do something cool. Good point. And I'm excited to see what he can do. I think it's important, especially for the NBA to like, you know, them not having Zion in it when he was still, you know, everybody was hyped up was like a mistake, you know? Yeah, he is the superstar. He is the superstar. Give him $5 million and do the dunk contest, you know what I mean? Like, do it, pay him. He's worth it, right? Yeah. Everyone would watch that, too. He's the one that everybody's gunning for, too. Like, I think he's the one that like, if he has the most to gain out of this event, I think because he's the one that if his name is attached to his dunk contest years down the line, it can be more of a legacy thing, obviously. That's the big thing for me is like, how many times every year, not even every year, but when we talk about the best moments in NBA history or whatever, you know, you're always talking about Vince in the dunk contest and bring up Zach Lavey and you bring it. You know what I mean? Like, your legacy is solid forever. And this in the sense of like, you put on a show at the showcase of the NBA's best. And it's like, he could also too, set a precedent to where it's like, it's cool to do the dunk contest again, right? Because for a while now it has been, it's not cool. It's like, you know, some fun guys can do it and get up and dunk and do a lot of fun stuff. But it's like, it's not for me. You know what I mean? Like if Zach Lavey did the dunk contest when he was like Zach Lavey now, it would probably hit a lot different than when he did it when he was just like, you know, the third banana on the T-wolves at the time. You know, so. Yo, you guys watching can't do this? Yeah, I was just gonna say, Carl Anthony Towns just got 29. I checked real quick. After round one, they updated the live odds. Trey Young was like minus 180 or no, Luke Conard I think was minus 180 and Carl Anthony Towns was plus 280. And I'm like, yo, I think I'm about to jump on this. 29 points in this round. I think that might've been the single highest round that we've seen so far tonight. I think so. Let's give Trey beat it though. That's crazy. We were talking all that mess about Kat. He came in here throwing 29. Kat, come on. Bring that out. No Trey. Oh man, I think I'm, man, Kat had the longest odds out of everybody and almost nobody tweeted at me this morning. They were like, yo, pick Carl Anthony Towns. Almost nobody. Everybody got scared. I just feel like with the shooters that are in this contest, you would think like, obviously he had the longest odds for a reason. And he hasn't really, you know, the T-wolves were playing good as a late, but like they haven't really been doing anything all season. So I think he's just one of the players that kind of a forgotten man. And especially with everything he was dealing with last year, it's good to see him in this spot doing well. And in the shooting contest, I trust him more than Trey Young. I think more of his, more of his threes are going to be catch a shoot threes. And he's less streaky, I feel like than Trey Young. Luke cannot be the favorite. Trey was he enough a little bit, but Trey was he enough a little bit, but this might be a little bit tough. He's got to hit these. He's got to hit all these. Ooh. Nah, he's done. Ooh. He's taken his time. Done. Oh, yeah. Oh, wait. I think he has enough. I don't know if we're at the same, with the same point, but I'm watching him shoot from the corner right now. It could be a little bit behind. Oh, he's getting hot in the last rack though. One short. One short. Yeah, he's one short. Yeah. Yeah. Now it's up to Luke Canard. Nah, Luke Canard, you can't win this. It's way more fun to play this talent. I win. I'm with you there. It's way more fun if Carl Anthony Towns wins this. I want to see Kat win this. Can you believe if Kat beats Luke Canard to win it all? The big versus specialist. That is crazy. With the longest odds versus the guy with the shortest odds before this. Man. Because if you think about it, that is Luke Canard's role with the Clippers, right? He comes off screens. He's a set shooter. If he can hit that big shot in the dying seconds if they need him to. And Carl Anthony Towns, like he's the big and the focus around the T-Wills, but no one really thinks about him as being like this three-point guide, right? So he comes in and wins a three-point competition. That's headlines. So good for Kat because I was sleeping on him. I was even like, no, there's no way that he can win this. So I'm definitely going to shut up about it. Nah, I'm with you there. I want to see Kat win, man. Be a little bit different seeing a big take this competition, man. And just over some of the marksmen that are in here, Canard getting off to the hot star here. And it's funny some of the names that come out, man, because you don't, you know, until the three-point contest comes out, a lot of them are just floating, you know, just doing their job. And then they come to the three-point contest making names for themselves here in this event. When was the last time a big one it? Was that like Durek in 06? I'm actually going to look this up right now. There was a couple of years in there. Remember when they did the big versus smalls? I think I was just looking it up because I feel like Kat was like, he finished second or he won it one year previously. I think three-point contest. He got like really close. Cause I remember one time he had like a shot to be Boogie Cousins or something and everybody just went nuts. Yo, Kat is about to win this. Yeah. Was it the skills, I think it was a skills contest, right? Yeah, that's probably it. Kat won, yeah. Lucanard doesn't, I don't think he has enough. This is a money ball rack at the end. No, Karan three times one. He's already, he's already talking.  And they both had 26, Lucanard and Trey Young. So the last year was Steph Curry, then Buddy Hill before that, Joe Harris, Devin Booker, Eric Gordon, Clay Thompson, Steph Curry, Marco Bellinelli, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love was the last bit. That's 2012. So Kevin Love, and before that was like, there wasn't a big before that since Durkin 06. Yeah. So this is two in the last like six years. That's crazy. You know what? If you bet on that, you're probably like the happiest person right now because I didn't see anyone being like, I'm going to take Kat for this one. Like a few sleepers, but... I mean, it says it right here. Plus 12, literally plus 1200. The worst odds, the lowest odds to win it. Man, that's crazy. I'm trying to, I'm going to definitely check out and see if anybody... It would have been anybody, anybody but Kat. It would have been anybody but Kat. I would have took the odds on fading everybody but Kat at the field. Man, shout out to Kat, man. I wish I took Kat. Damn. Whoever had a Kat, Kat, Parley just won a lot depending on how much money they put on that. Kat, Kat, Juan, Toscano, Anderson, Parley? Oh my goodness. Oh my God. I hope, I hope. If Juan Toscano, Anderson comes out and wins this, I'm going to be talking because we got all these titles winning, Dominican, winning the three point contest. If Juan Toscano, Anderson, shocks some people in the dunk contest, then I'm going to be talking tonight and tomorrow morning. He was the one that I was least convinced deserved to be in there, but I want to see. I want to see because it feels like he might be more of a rim grazer than anything. So I want to see if he's really getting up there doing something crazy or if he's just going to have windmills in between the legs. Yeah, I heard. Is Toscano Anderson the sleeper? Like, do you think he's the sleeper in this one or is it Cole Anthony? Both. Because Cole Anthony though, he's got those in-game dunks where you're just like, whoa, this guy can fly. And he does it with like an emphasis too. So I think like, it's a little bit of a toss up between them. I think Toscano Anderson might be the bigger sleeper actually than Cole Anthony.  Doesn't play much. Yeah. And people think that Mary Kay and Junior is a better dunker also on his team. He is. He could be. He is. He could be. He is a really good dunker though. He's also kind of, no shade to him. I mean, what am I talking about? He's kind of a little bit short too in comparison to JTA. Yes. Well, Cole Anthony's like 6'3 as well, right? I was about to say, yeah. Maybe. I don't know about 6'3. I was giving him the Combine metrics, that's all.  Like I enjoyed watching Nate Robertson when he actually made the dunks be in the dunk contest. You know what I mean? When he wasn't doing, but so many attempts. And I think once with Scott Anderson, correct me if I'm wrong, I think he's left-handed, is he? Yeah, he's a lefty, right? So lefties just look cooler when they dunk because it's just a little bit more variety. Actually, I'm not quite sure about that. Is he a lefty? I think he's a righty. I think he's right. He's like 6'5, righty.  Well, I'm like, yo, that like left-handed dunkers, like- And that could be sneaky too to his advantage if he does do something left-handed. Cause I remember when Jay Rich did the, between the legs reverse with the left hand, it threw everybody for Luke when he did it left-handed. You got, you're on to something there, Brian, cause that's the way you get yourself from being a long shot to a favorite real quick. And what team was Jason Richardson with when he was doing that? The Warriors. The Warriors. Exactly. I think Juan to Scott Lannis and if you're watching, you're not watching this right now cause you're getting ready to do the dunk contest. But look, somebody who's connected with him, take this message, all right? Find a Jason Richardson jersey somewhere last minute, somewhere in the arena, put it on him, let him do one of those dunks, one of them tribute dunks, it's been like 20 years. Jason Richardson is like, other than maybe Vince Carter, my favorite dunk contest dunker ever, because that dude, like he was really innovative when he went out there or whatever. And a lot of people, that was when people were saying dunk contest was dead and Charles Barkley had like no voice and he was announcing one of the dunk contests. And Jason Richardson was going crazy. He had him going crazy, you know what I'm saying?  Oh, that was a good contest. That's a good one. Everybody do it, you know what I mean? I don't know what Jersey, what Cole Anthony is gonna do. He can't do Aaron Gord is still in the league, that would be what he's doing. Maybe, maybe, maybe he does a bit of a throwback, like maybe he goes, yeah, he could use a Dwight Jersey or he could do a little bit of a throwback because like T-Mac did play for Orlando, but when he was in a good dunk contest, he was with the Raptors. But T-Mac had like, that was a very stacked dunk contest, the one with Vince and T-Mac and Stevie franchise. So that was, that was a really, really good era. There's also the factor of my dad used to play in the NBA, so I know all these dudes, like, like all he has to do is talk to Greg Anthony and say, hey, pop, you know any of these guys that can help me out for this dunk contest real quick? Can I use, you know, somebody's, can I use D, Brown, you know what I mean? Like, what can we do, right? What are the odds that Greg Anthony standing underneath the hoop and gets dunked on over by his son? What are the odds on that? I mean, I wouldn't put it past them. I mean, we've seen that before, right?  I mean, they didn't, somebody dunked over J Cole a couple of years ago. Dennis McJunior. Dennis McJunior. Yeah, Dennis McJunior. You got to dunk on your dad, man. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you could, you got to do it. When you back to the Oakland, that'll be kind of fire, low key. Just like, have him play one-on-one and then like, have Cole, like do a move. Greg falls back and then Cole dunks on him. Like, the old, like, how many times, how many kids have played one-on-one against their dad in the driveway at the park or whatever. You want to dunk on your dad's head so bad. Just imagine Cole Anthony just dunking on his dad's head to the fire. Do you guys like those dunks? Do you guys like those dunks though? Cause I feel like we get a lot of that, like every time where they put them on a seat or they have like a couple of people standing underneath the rim and then it takes like so much time to put it together. Like, do you guys like that part of it? You know what? Cause I like it back in the day when one of the rules was you would have to use a player from your team to be your teammate and help you out. But like, would you guys like the spectacle of it all? So for me, it depends on who's being dunked on or I guess dunked over. I don't like when they bring out like Kevin Hart or DJ Khaled or somebody like that. Right, like that, yeah. Dunk on your teammate. I think they dunked over Khaled one year, like rest in peace to Chadwick, but I think like they dunked over like Chadwick and Khaled and there was like six people. Yeah, it was like four people there. And it was like, they're all like five, six. So what are we doing? Yeah, like, yeah, just dunking on a celebrity for the sake of doing it, like at least Hamidou Diallo, like he got shacked, right? Like I would like if like Cole Anthony which is randomly looked in the crowd and was like, all right, Lisa Leslie, come here. Unless you get a nine for dunking over Taco Fall, like that to me was wild. You get a nine for dunking over Taco, seven, six.   Like one of the two like put, like try to block my shot. Let me dunk on you. Let me throw it down. Straight body. Man ball. Yo. Straight body contest. Like, cause how many times do you see dudes just do a poster dunk and we're like, wow, let's dunk in the air. And all it is nine times out of 10, just a little tomahawk dunk or something, right? Like just go up with Steven Adams and just dunk on his head. Like, Steven Adams won't care. You give him money. He'd be like, sure, okay mate, dunk on me, don't care. Imagine if that was a part of the contest though, if you had to dunk on somebody.   Like that's one of the rounds. Like you have to defend the rim against like Larry, like a prime shot blocker. I can only imagine the hate though, cause we know if it's not perfect, Shaq is going to hate on it and it's going to influence the score. He's like, oh, it wasn't done clean the first time. He didn't flush it down the right way. He should have used his fingernails when he finished like whatever the excuses for Shaq, there's always something with it, man. So hopefully we don't get any hate on these guys. Yeah, that, yeah, I, you know, I'm looking at little baby performing right now and just like, somebody's going to dunk over. Somebody's going to dunk over.  Remember that like game where I was like little baby, Jack Harlow, like Bleacher Report did like an online game and they were like playing for like $10,000 or something like that.  Just have them remake that, right? Just have them horribly throw it off the backboard and just do a, when they'll dunk, just like remake the whole meme. It'll be classic. Yeah, I know, we love it. Another thing I think that I hope that they do tonight is that I feel like they've been a little harder ever since the Aaron Gordon and Zach Levine dunk contest, even the one where, you know, the 2015 version, I feel like they, they haven't given as many fifties out. I feel like they hate, it's kind of like everybody's waiting for it to be new or innovative. And sometimes it's just a great dunk and you can't fault the guys that are in the competition for that. So I think everybody wants it to be brand new or, you know, double between the legs, reverse 360s. It can't always be that. And I feel like I hope they give the guys fair scores tonight. I want, I want Wantascaano Anderson to dunk over George Lopez. That's what I want. Now that we've had this conversation, jump over, he could do the whole line. He could do George Lopez. He could be a low rider. Jump over George Lopez. Yes, there we go. The low rider. Here we go. Look, look, Wantascaano Anderson, if you do all right this year, you come back next year, let me and Rob produce your dunks. We'll get you to dunk. We'll get you to do the low rider joint. You could dunk over a line of like George Lopez, Gabriel Iglesias. You know what I'm saying? Like we can start pulling names.  Just like do everybody, Jennifer Lopez, everybody. Have Jennifer Lopez perform Let's Get Loud. He dunks over, just completely go full Spanish with it. I agree. That's a 10. Jump over some people from the Narcos cast. You know what I'm saying? Come out to the theme song. We're in a suit, rip it off. Do your dunk. You can regular dunk and get a 10 out of that, man. Regular just for the setup alone. That's a 15 minute dunk right there. Yeah. And a Narcos theme song is the best theme song on all the shows. So I just want to hear it as part of that. One thing I didn't ask you guys in particular, are there any bet? I know we sprinkled in some of the stuff we took, but any bets all star weekend wise that any of you have you looked at or taken or you know, tonight, tomorrow, even stuff last night, anybody in particular? I know Brian, you said you were, you were taking some stuff this morning, but what do you guys, what do you guys look at? Or what did you guys end up taking if you took anything? I know for the three point contest that did not win because Patty Mills did not even get to the finals. And for the skills challenge, you know, the calves, I mean, the heavy owner dogs were the ante de compos and I didn't trust them and they were the, they were like plus three, 60 or something along those lines. So I was glad that didn't work out. But, you know, now for team Durant, team LeBron, which I don't know if I'm going to do anything there tomorrow, but they do have player props that are out now, which, you know, if you want to get into that. The only thing I'm looking at is the over for the whole game. Oh yeah. The over. So the over under is actually right now, it's three 22. And I think they go over that. I think so too. But here's the thing. They almost over 200 two years ago. The Elum ending, I don't know when that's going to kick in. The over sounds like a safe bet though. But what the player props or whatever, like they don't have all the players there. And like I want them to have like all the players there just so I could take Jimmy Butler's under because I know he doesn't care about the all-star game. Also too, Chris Paul has a shoulder injury. I'm sure if he even plays. Well, this is the first year that Kobe Bryant trophy too. They have that new Kobe Bryant trophy too. So I think LeBron probably will be looking to get to add some hardware to his collection, especially the first of that trophy. So wouldn't surprise me if we see a classic LeBron all-star type game tomorrow. You know what? I think we're going to see a young buck actually get the all-star. I'm going to put my money on John Morant to actually come through and win it because the season that he's having in all-star weekend, like we kind of mentioned it earlier. It's one of those events where guys really established themselves in the league of being a superstar. And this is Jaws kind of coming out party. So I expect him to kind of get out there and get it off to a good start, be aggressive. And we're going to see some good John Morant tomorrow. So I'm taking him to win MVP. I think it was plus 600, right? Yeah, 650, so it's a good bet. Yeah, yeah. And LeBron James, if I have, look, I'm not the dude who's like, I'm out here trying to give you the best advice, no. But if I have one lock, LeBron, his over-under is 19 and a half. I just feel like in Cleveland, all the stuff he's been saying, like I'd be shocked if he doesn't get at least 20 plus. So that over-under, over 19 and a half is minus 104. And I'd be shocked if it's anything below that. It absolutely feels like a LeBron, like y'all forgot about me. Like y'all don't have me in top five at MVP. Y'all don't think we're going to make the playoffs. You think I'm washed. You don't think we're going to make the playoffs without AD. And like, I kind of agree with that sentiment that like not only points, but like MVP. I don't think it, I mean, put first basket. You know what I mean? Like the whole deal. Like I think LeBron trying to put everything on the map. I mean, sure, at the end of the day, right? She was all-star game who cares. But like for the fact of LeBron, like kind of making a statement to the league, because that's usually what guys do in these games. Like they make a statement of some way, right? Like there's something that's, you know, in New York all-star game, I was like, let's make a statement by showing respect to these old vets, right? With Derek and everything. And every year there's, you know, Kobe and LeBron in Toronto, like there was always a statement every year. And I think in AD when he won the MVP, like, I always think there's one dude that makes a statement. And I like what Shantel's saying about Ja. Because I do, I agree. I think Ja is kind of in the same vein of like, this is, let me make a statement, right? Like this is, let me show out. Let me have a good time. Speaking of make a statement, this concert was crazy, man. Making a statement. Trying to compete with the Super Bowl. We saw Lil Wayne, Ludacris, Migos, Lil Baby. The whole roster was out there. Shout out to DJ Khaled for putting on an awesome performance here. You know what they missed though? Cause it is Cleveland. They missed like putting like bone thugs and harmony on there or something like that. Like you got to pay a little bit of homage. And so like, it's like, are they saving them for like, I'll start Sunday? Like, I don't know. I feel like you kind of left them out.   Thank you. Yeah, I'd rather see, I was going to say, I'd rather see Bone to DJ Khaled if I'm not a fan of it. And all you got to do too and Bone is easy.  Just give them thug-ish, rugged bone one time to hype everybody up. And like, this is perfect. No, I want notorious thugs. I want notorious thugs. That too. Yeah, I want to be. Just get through it cause it's Cleveland. And yeah, I agree. Get through it cause MGK. No. He was at the select game and I was like, oh man, this is Cleveland. That's great. You know, good times. He could perform his Eminem diss after Eminem performed last week. We can keep that going. We can revisit that.  His reply wasn't bad though. Like, I'll give him that. His reply wasn't like the worst, but. You know, little white, old, white crime in February. You know what I'm saying? But Mary J though, like she performed at the Super Bowl and then here all started Saturday. That's great.  So good for her. Chris too. Just now we're coming out. I know it. Yeah, it already came out.  Oh, that's actually, well, she's tight with Nas. Dave East is a Nas artist that makes a lot of sense. Nas, 100% probably lobbed up there. And she actually, it's funny that she said that cause she told the story about doing a song with Jay-Z. What song does she do with Jay-Z? Oh my God. She was telling, she was doing an interview on Hot 97 and she was like saying how it was like real, it was one of Jay-Z's first songs. Oh my God. Oh, that's Cannot the Hustle. Cannot the Hustle. Cannot the Hustle, yeah. Such a dweeb. But yeah, so Cannot the Hustle, Dame, I guess Dame Dash got in touch with her manager or her friend or something is like, yo, this dude Jay wants to do a song, blah, blah, blah, this, that and the third. And long story short, like she went to the studio, they gave her $10,000 in a brown paper bag. She's like, for what? And they're like, sing this. And she's like, okay, hopped in the studio, did a minute, took the bag and dipped. I was like, that's crazy. Classic hook. That's crazy. And then like now, and then she said like now she gets the residuals, but at first they were keeping all the money and then like Mary and Jay got a little bit tight and he was like, all right, fine, fine, fine, fine. Because like he paid it off, right? Like that's how it works.  And then back in the day, like people don't get cuts of that. So like she just got 10K real quick back then.   It was like, oh God. Classic. And then also too, Luda Chris was there too. Shasta Luda Chris, who was actually at the Fandall Super Bowl party last week. Last week already. Luda. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah. Luda's underrated man. Luda doesn't get the respect that he deserves. Dude, he had hits and hits and hits and hits. I was like, man, stand up. I think you forget about it because he lasted for so long and he started, you know, he started early when he was younger and he had a lot of that stuff in the late, you know, 2000s, early 2010s. And a lot of it stands the test of time. You know what I mean? Yeah, for sure. I still listen to Southern hospitality. Oh, like that's a banger. I don't know, like I think Luda is underrated as a lyricist too. Cause like, do you guys remember when him in a TI had beef on like the Stomp Remix record? Oh yeah. Like Luda can't, Luda can't. Oh yeah. You gave it to him a little too early. You can't give the same song to both artists. Yeah. That was, that was, that was messy. Yeah. I agree. Luda's underrated, man. He just, I just remember at the concert, I'm like standing there at the Fanduil perform at the Supo party. He's just like, all right. He just did hit this hit. I'm like, all right, that's cool. Oh, he did this hit. Oh, he did this hit. Oh, he did this hit. Oh, and he did yeah too.  That song destroyed the charts. Like he knows what he's doing. That dude, that dude makes hits. Hits. Who's going to be the disappointment of the dunk contest, man? I was, you know, I was thinking about earlier. Remember Flight White, James White, I had the expectations when he came in. I was ready for history to be made. And the expectations were warranted because this dude's tapes from overseas were insane. I mean, the college for the Fricko one? And college and high school. High school, he lost the dunk contest to David Lee that he shouldn't have. And it was because David Lee just did a dunk where he took his shirt off and showed everyone his boxers and then did a reverse and didn't make a lot of sense that he lost that. And then in college, he just ran out of time because for some reason in the college dunk contest they have like a 24 second shot clock or dunk clock. And he tried to windmill it from behind the line and the ball just flew out. So he was trying to run all the way from the other side of the court every time. I remember that dunk contest. James White is still one of the best dunkers I ever seen. I was bummed out though, because it looks like historically if you didn't know any better, it would look like, and maybe this is true, I don't know if you have a conspiracy theory, I would like to know about it. It looks like the Knicks just signed him to be in that dunk contest because he was there that one season and then just disappeared. I 100% believe that's what happened. I 100% believe that's what happened. Because that was a weird year. I wanna say he was on a 10 day too. I don't even think he was on a 10 day. I remember this because they brought him in for Summer League, it was random. He was like the first pick in the second round of the 2006 draft out of Cincinnati. And then he just barely played with the Spurs that year as a rookie. Went overseas, Italy, et cetera, et cetera. And then they signed him. He played in Summer League. It was him and Chris Copeland that they ended up keeping. So those are two names. And then he was signed for the year. I haven't heard that name in ages. He played most of the year like barely. And he even started a bunch of games because they were trying to figure out their shooting guard situation. They started with Ronnie Brewer then it became James White and whatever. They just wanted to keep JR Smith off the bench. So he was there that whole entire season. And then after the season, that was it. He didn't get signed by anybody else. It was like he was there for the dunk contest. That season was one of the better seasons that the Knicks had. Because that season was the... 54 win season. That was it. The best season they had. And that season, I remember the marketing around the Knicks that year and everything around the Knicks. They absolutely wanted to sign him to make a big splash and do something. They absolutely did. Like I mean, he played 57 games that year. How many minutes per game? Like nine or something like that? Like eight minutes per game. It was a lot of garbage time because the Knicks were actually like, they were putting their boots and team's asses that year.  They had one of the best events in the league. Yeah, and they were, they were... Like that Knick team now would be good because like what they were doing with Mello at the four, spreading it out, shooting threes. Like them, they were... That's why people thought that they could have competed with the Heat had they met up in the playoffs. I don't think it would have been like... I don't think they would have beaten the Heat but it would have been a good series. Knicks talk about a 54 win season as the highlight of a Knicks fans career, you know. Dude, that was the best season. We've been talking different talk over here. That was the best season in a long time. I remember that dude, I don't even wanna... The Dunk Hounds is about to start. But I just remember that year. I remember every single thing that happened. I remember the game in Miami, when they beat the Heat in Miami, and Amari, I remember when Amari punched the stupid, the fire extinguisher. I think that was the next year but I remember when Amari punched the fire extinguisher. Remember Tyson Chandler in defense of play of the year. I remember Roy Hibbert blocking Mello at the rim. Like that's one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life is when Roy Hibbert completely stonewalled Mello at the rim with his verticality. And I was just like, oh man, that's horrible. So yeah. Cole Anthony just missed a warm up dunk. I don't know how I feel now. A warm up win meal off the bounce. Natalie missed it off the way. Natalie didn't miss. He joined the front end of the rim but he just hit the front end of the rim. As long as he misses them in the warm up and not like when the contest is going on, I'm okay with that. You were allowed to miss a couple before then.  He's probably a little bit nervous too if you think about it. Because you think about Cole Anthony's season too, right? Oh, he's showing Greg Anthony right now, his dad. There's a lot of eyes on him this season because he didn't have the best college career at UNC. Like he struggled a little bit and then coming into the league like the Orlando Guard situation. And this year, he's been really, really good for them. So like we've been talking about statements this whole time. I think this could be a statement for Cole Anthony as well to, for people to start taking him seriously to a guard. So I'm excited to see him dunk. I've been, I've been very much in Cole Anthony's corner for a long time. Not only is he from New York, not only did he go to UNC, I'm a huge UNC fan. Like I remember his season with UNC is very disappointing because like it was just like he was like, was there some of the games he had good performances and then he just didn't play. And just like at the end of the season, it was so weird. And then like he just went there. Kind of like a legacy thing. It's just like I want to see him do well, but I can also see a world where like it just like goes horribly.  Yeah, we got the Greg Anthony jersey already. And he's bringing out that he brought out Tim's because they're going New York Olds. They're going Hella New York right now. I didn't know this. I didn't know this. I swear. And he's gonna do it in Tim's. This is crazy. Oh man. He's gonna dunk in Tim's. Look, the innovation already. All right. First dunk. I love it. I got to go to Merrill's Twitter feed and see what he's saying. He's probably wilding out right now. That's disrespectful to OB Toppin too, by the way.  Like I literally played in New York, bro. What are you doing? I know the Magic GM is like, hey, who gave him approval to do this? Because Tim's man, I'm not dunking in Tim's. Barely walking Tim's. They're way too heavy to be dunking on them. So if he makes this dunk, if he does something crazy in Tim's, it might be a high score. Might be.  So we got to see, we got to see something spectacular in Tim's. He ain't got to do much to get a 10 for me at this point. You know, you've got the Tim's, you've got the old school Nick's. I'm not even a Nick fan. I'm just a New Yorker. But like, Spike Lee, look, they just cut to Spike Lee right there. He's smirking. He's probably pissed that Obi Toppin didn't think of this first. Obi Toppin's like hyping him up too. I know. Obi's more excited for it than he is. You know what's going to happen now though? All the Nick fans, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, Cole Anthony's got two years left in this rookie deal. They're going to be like, yo, he wore the Nick jersey all the star weekend. Yeah, they're going to keep shooting with the challenge. Look at him in the Nick jersey. I mean, y'all should try to get him though. 100%. Like, that would be crazy if he got Cole Anthony. I'd be hype, especially because right now, he's showing out in Orlando. So, oh, this is great. He's hyping up the crowd. Tim's on. I do feel bad for Obi though. I think you're ahead. I think she'll tell you. You like 10, 15 seconds ahead. Try to continue the action real quick. Yeah, Canada got a quick stream. Canada got a quick stream. I keep telling people, Canada, those things way better than we do. Keep saying that. I see a lot of people complaining about the amount of times it's taking to put the boots on.  Yeah, yeah, they're not there yet. The process that it takes to put these boots on your feet. It's a New York staple, but you know, it's tough. I think he's hyping himself up. All right, here we go. I'm a little bit early, so I'm going to be quiet. I don't want to ruin anything for you guys. If I look... They're heavy, yo. Those shoes are heavy. If I look to my right, I could see it a little faster because this screen is a little ahead of this screen that's right in front of me. I see Obi-Tahping hyping him up, though.  Oh, you guys missed my reaction there, but... There we go. All right, left-handed women. They need boots right now. These are basically ankle weights. I'm going to still be behind. Oh, I just saw the dunk already. Oh, yeah, I'm behind behind there. Okay. I'm behind behind. There's he still hyping him up. There it is. All right. People got to remember though, he did it in Tim's, all right? That's true. He's getting a nine for me. Nine, solid nine, solid nine for the spectacle. You know what? Every time it goes into slow-mo, like when they do the replay, it looks a lot better sometimes when they slow it all the way down. Yeah. Tie those Tim's together and throw them up in the rafters right now. Just retire them joints right here. It's just like tie the shoelaces together and just throw it up in the rafters. Just retire them boots right now, sir. I think he brought this out, dunk one, because he was like, you know what? There's some good dunkers in this contest. I may not get to hold this one all the way to the finals. Let's see. What would you guys give that? Okay. 46. I'm giving it a nine. He dunked in Tim's.  All right, like there's a reason you wear them in the snow. Like, yeah, let's see, let's see. Eight, eight, nine. Who gave him a seven? David Robinson Hayton. And he left-handed. I don't like that. He did a left-handed with Mill, too. We were talking about doing dunks with your left earlier and I was saying how they look cooler than writings. He's a right-handed, but he did it with his left. Man, David Robinson never wore, David Robinson for too much time in San Antonio, he never wore Tim's before. Hey, he did that for his dad, right? Because Greg Anthony was left-handed, right? Yeah. Greg Anthony was left-handed, yeah. Oh, this is your boy coming up right here. Right here. Toscano Anderson. Let's go. Let's go, baby.  I think he's got like the Mexico colors on the back of his jersey. I like that. Oh, let's go. That's fine. That's fine. Hey, you gotta get one of those, Brian. You gotta get one of those. I ain't Mexican, but I'll do it. You know what I'm saying? Any sign in it? Oh, he's getting everybody to sign it. Wow. Let's go. Juan Toscano Anderson. Dr. J with the slowest signature of all time. Mark's here with JTA. Got advice from Jason Richardson about being in the dunk contest, so. He got some scoop from Jason Richardson. Okay. That's a good player to get some advice from. Wiggins out. Oh, Wiggins. He got the shoes in the match, too. Okay, I see you. Okay. I like that. I like that, though. No, that was nice. Oh, man. Justin, have you seen it yet? Okay. Okay. Okay. Love it, though. Okay. Yeah. Like they might have a little push-off there, but we have seen slow-mo. That's good, though. A cuff double. That's a nice dunk. That's a nine for me. No, I think that's definitely a nine for sure. I want to do .5. I might give it a 10. I want to do .5. A little push-off, man. A little push-off there. I give him a nine for the push-off. I gave Cole a nine because, again, windmill and Tim's with your offhand, that is harder than it sounds. He did a little push on Andrew Wiggins, but yeah, that's nice. Windmill, cuff. I didn't need to push off much. That's tough. Can I do like a 9.25 or something like that? Yeah, I wish they gave points. I wish we were allowed to do like 9.5, 8.5, but I think that was a good nine. D-Rob gave out a 7 and an 8 so far. He's not impressed. They were Robinson. They were Robinson. Come on, Si. I know he's 7-2, but like... But if you think about it, like David Robinson used to get dunked on by Jordan. You know what I mean?  He's not just handing out 10s, you know? He's also military minded, right? Like, to your point, he's not going to give out no easy, you know, he wants to see some or to work for it. You know what I mean? I respect you. I respect you.  He's got to have one Russian judge, you know? It used to be Kenny Smith. It used to be Kenny Smith. Was it Kenny Smith or did he get off somebody else from being a Russian judge? I don't know. No, Kenny Smith and then Wade, remember? Oh, yeah. And then Wade did use to be here. He just wanted to dare Joe Zunia to win that. I see what Obi's trying to do here. This could be really crazy. I just saw what he tried to do. Yeah. That was nice. I'm OK with them, like, missing one and then, like, going again. But when it's big boy. He came out, he's like, whoa. Yeah, yeah. Then he was like, yo, tranquilo, tranquilo. Let's see. Oh, he did it. Did he? He did something. I missed it. I looked at the wrong screen. No, no. He didn't do that one. Let's see. I'm behind still. OK, I just saw him do it. Oh. Oh, OK. Yes. I think you might be ahead now, Brian. You might be a little bit ahead of me now. The game done changed. Look at that. That's a good dunk. That's a good dunk. That's a good dunk. I'm not trying to be biased, but that's a 10. I know he tried twice. That's a 50. That's for sure. That's a 50. Oh, like that's behind the back over somebody. That's why I don't know if I've seen that. I don't know if we've seen that. I don't think so. I think, yeah, not over somebody. That's a 50. And did he do that with the left? Did he do that with the left? No, he switched it to his right. Yeah, but he also didn't do it. He opened the whole time. I will say, JTA had a little, to your point, he had a little, eh? Obi went clean over him. With room to spare. Who gave him an eight? Was that Isaiah Thomas? Oh, no, no, Isaiah's hand. Let me see. No way, Isaiah Thomas and Drexler gave him an eight. 10, 8, 8, 9, 9. OK, so the eights were from Clyde Drexler and Isaiah Thomas. The 10 was from Dominique Wilkins. Dominique Wilkins gave him the 10, though. You know what I mean? Dunker's going to recognize dunkers. I say this video all the time. Real recognize, real. Come on, man. Woo, that's tough. I think that was the best dunk so far tonight. Easily. That's, yeah. They're tied, right? It's like right under a 10 for me. I want to give them a 9.5. But like, you know, it's the same spirit. But to me, that's the best dunk that we've seen. That's not a 44. That's not a 44. What is Jaylen Green doing right now? This is interesting. What is that? A chain with a phone on it? An NFT. He's done going with that NFT. That's what it is. Oh. It's a big thing. Got the board, Ape on? Is that it? Oh. He has a phone, but it has the NFT on it. I don't know. It's kind of bad, because not to get into too much of the crypto, but this place called OpenSea, which is like a huge NFT marketplace, just got hacked tonight. So yeah, that's his top shot moment. So he's playing this top shot moment on his chest. Yeah, I'm not really. I think he's going to recreate that dunk, I just assume. But he took it off, though. Like, he took off his chain. Like, what was the point of that? I don't know.  Quick advertising it. Don't take it off. Just dunk with the chain on. He called the audible. It's too heavy, huh? Who is this passing to him? They probably said. Oh, my god. If he wouldn't, that's crazy. I would have liked that dunk if he would have been able to land that one. Yeah. That was nice. Andre Iguodala? No, he didn't do that. He did a windmill with that, with the AI. It was a similar setup, though. Yeah, that's true. Iguodala had crazy hops. That, that. Oh, that's Yoss Christopher. That's Yoss Christopher. Oh, from Arizona. For his teammate. With the rockets. Well, he went to Arizona, right? Arizona State. He got leather jeans on, too. Come on. But the jeans. I mean, I need, I need, I need different kind of pants if I'm going to make a pass.  I just need a little bit, I just need a little bit more flexibility, you know, like, like just in case, because it's like, yo, what if I wanted to do it between the legs? There's not a lot of room for error there, huh? No. So how do you guys feel about like attempts, like when the attempts get too, too much, like does that take away from the dunk for you guys at all? I think they said it right by limiting it. Like they have it, like four attempts that they call a dunk. Like basically, like you touch, if you touch the rim or like whatever they counter an attempt, I think limiting it to like five is perfect. And just be like, you know what, that's it. You're good, dude. It's excellent surprise factor, man. It's like, they should just, I think you should try a different dunk, you know? It's tough because like, with Nate Robinson many years ago, he just attempted something so many times and it's like, you knew what he was going to do after a while. So yeah, it kind of took it away. I liked the way they had it in NBA Live 05, where it was like, yo, you get one miss and that's it. You get one miss and that's it. Is that the one where you stayed in the air for infinite time and you could be in between the last? Yes, you can. That was the one. That was the one. Let's go. That was so crazy. I remember playing that and like you have to like spin it right, press X, spin it up. I'm just like, what are we doing? Like, we had to do it twice real quick on the X mark. In between the legs twice. That was the only time NBA Live 05. Carmelo. Carmelo was on the camera, right? Yes. That was solid. Everybody can do it. That was a good NBA Live. Back when video games had mad features. Not to go too much on video games, but like guitar hero really, like NBA like dunk contest or like should have taken notes from a guitar hero, right? Like just do the guitar hero thing where you just press buttons, boom, boom.  Why they cut the little baby and little Wayne laughing? Come on, man. Why did they make a photo of Jaylen Green with all these misses? How many memes? How many memes have we gotten from All Star Weekend over the years? TNT knows what they're doing. This is, I think Jaylen Green just got to go to something else at this point. It was all right. He did a dunk. I saw it just now. See now, Brian is ahead like. Welcome to my world, Shantae. I've been doing it to Justin the whole time. So now Karma hit me real bad. Yo, Shaq looks so mad. He's like so tight. Oh my goodness. But here's the thing, like, I think Charles Barkley used to joke about this mad years ago, where he's like, yo, if you're going to get someone to throw you the ball at a dunk contest, it got to be a point guard. Josh Christopher, I think he could be a really good ball player. He ain't a point guard though. Point guards know where to put passes. Point guards know where to put passes. Like, do you wonder why Steve Nash did so well for my dunk contest? I wonder why. Shaq, yeah. I wonder why Steve Nash did so well with the best dunk, best pass of all time. It's crazy. This is not a bad dunk. It's not a bad dunk. That's a game dunk. Yeah, that's good. For him, yeah. I mean, yeah, he pumped fakes, drives baseline, he does a dunk in the game. Yeah, that's a game dunk, especially if you're like with the Charlotte Hornets. Like, Lamella Bull is giving that to you, like, in a game. Easy. He literally did. He literally did with my legs. With Miles Bridges, yeah. Between the legs, yeah. Let's see the scores. Ugly. Super low score, but it's a nice dunk. 8-8-7-7. That's a 38. 3-50. Honestly, that's like, I don't know. Maybe they were too hard on Cole Anthony. Yeah, no, they were too hard on Cole Anthony. I don't feel like Cole Anthony's dunk was only two points better than Jalen Green's. Come on now. Two? It's the first round. They always try to fill it out, and I think they're so hard because they want to set the bar higher, but kind of like, I feel like Obi-Tapin and Wants us to go on Anderson kind of got the short end of the stick there. You know what? I think it's one of those things where it's like, they're just going to score you a little bit harder when you start missing so many dunks because we're seeing what you're about to do, but I actually think Jalen Green's dunk was better than Cole Anthony's. Like, if he nailed that on the first time, I would say Jalen Green would have got a way higher score. Have you warned Tim Shanto? Oh yeah, it's a Vancouver. I have the wheat. You know, I actually bought my Tim's in New York though when I came to New York, that's what I bought my Tim's. Yeah, so yeah, I got the wheat and the black ones because it's, I mean, it's still cold up here in Canada. It isn't snow like that, but yeah. That's, I mean, yeah, I mean, but y'all get way more cold than we do. I got to bust out my Tim's about three days a year. I'm here in California, man, about three days. Don't even guess Tim's, bust out the Tim's for what? That's what I'm going to tell, what I'm going to tell. Hey, when I go up to town, it's a little bit of snow, so I can tell how cold it is. When you go up to the snow. Actually, it's colder in New York than it is in Vancouver because like we're on the West Coast, so we have like Seattle weather. So we don't get a lot of snow. We get snow like two or three times a year. So like it's, it's like West Coast, like we're on the ocean. So it's like, you guys have it tough, like those blizzards and stuff. That's crazy. A lot of rain. You get a lot of rain. I was saying it's lucky. Yeah, yeah, it rains a lot, but I mean, summertime's good. I went to LA for Super Bowl and when I left New York, it was 30 degrees. And when I landed in LA, it was 82 degrees. I almost like moved that day. There's snow as soon as you left. Soon as you got on the flight to start snowing, seriously. I was shoveling when you landed. I know, cause when I landed, I landed, when I landed mom, I was talking to my mom. She said the same thing. She's like, I just started snowing.  And when I got back, still snow on the ground. I was like, man, going to California always makes me want to leave the cold always. I don't know. Meanwhile, Justin deals with like 115 degrees, sometimes 110 in Sacktown. Like it's just ridiculous hot over there. You know, these winter temperatures are setting in. It's like 72 out here right now. So, you know, super cold out here, 72 degrees. I think it's like 60 outside still right now. Bro, it was 50. Brian knows it was 50 the other day. It was like 50. It was a nice breezy day. I was outside a t-shirt, shorts. I was strolling the block ready for a big water beach. I was ready for going to beach. I was like, all right, cool. 50 is Tim's weather. 50 is Tim's, a bomber jacket. Yeah, two days ago it was like almost 60 degrees. Right now, right now it's 25. Literally the wind show, I think points it down to fit. Like, I can hear the wind right now whipping around outside. It's ridiculous. No, seriously.  All right, guys, who are you guys going to think is going to take this? Obi Toppin or, well, I think I know Brian's answer. You going to go for Juan Toscano Anderson for this one? I gave you like three answers. The only, like I said, I said, I think Obi's going to win.  The only guy is like Jalen. I'm kind of like, look, man, I can't root for everybody. And Jalen got the lowest score so far, so we looking OK. Yeah, man, you're right on the spot. Kind of on point. Levine and Aaron Gordon said the bar too high, no one comes close. I can't remember anything. I can't remember anything in the last, I don't know. Maybe there's something I'm forgetting, but I can't remember anything that even came close, man. No, it's that bar was in the creativity from Aaron Gordon especially, man. That bar is on the moon. And because they ran it back to back, they ran it twice where it was like they're like, what are you doing in that scenario?  You're not jumping over them between the legs under your body. Like, I just don't know what to do at this point. What haven't we seen? And so to me, that's the part is how creative can these guys get without bringing out mascots, without bringing out three balls, 12 foot hoops. Here's the thing for me. I think we are at a point where every dunk has been done or to an extent, like you've seen a variation of every dunk, but like there's literally only so much a human being can do, right? Like we like, I know people are like, hey, let me do a 720. It's like, are you, you understand what that means? Like that's like three rotations and like, it's crazy. So like, I don't, I don't know how far we can go. I mean, I would rather them take old school dunks and completely body them. You know, make them do it. I like this Jalen Green dunk that you just did right here. He looked effortless too. That's a good dunk. That's a classic dunk. Like make that dunk look good. Same result. Yeah, he got a 45. 45, it's not bad. Now the judges are gonna try to overcompensate now. Now everybody's gonna start getting nines or gonna see a couple of 10s. Here's the thing that everybody forgets. Them trying to get 50s more times than not means they're not gonna get a 50 if they even register a score, right? So like trying to go for 50s every time is not gonna hit.  And it's like a big, huge domino game. Like it's just like make it look good, man. It's just a consistency. I want someone to put their elbow in the rim. That's what I want, because we haven't seen that. The Vince. I want somebody to just come and do their dunks and literally nail it the first time every dunk. Like just come out, dunk, score, done. Come out, dunk, score, done. And then save your best for last. Besides the top is talking to Cole Anthony before the dunk, try to get some advice. Come on, Cole. I'll give him, I'll give Cole Anthony credit, man. He's a little showman. I'll give him. He's a showman. He has no problem putting on a show.   I picked him up off the waiver wire. It was a great pickup. Great pickup. He can get that. I know I'm behind. I know I'm behind. He can get that. Oh, if he gets that one, yo, now try that again. I don't want that idea to be scrapped. That's the Aaron Gordon one, right? Aaron Gordon did that a couple of years ago. I don't know if Aaron Gordon did that though. That's a crazy cuff. And like, I feel like he's like, he looked like he was like parallel with that. It was crazy. No, Aaron, Aaron Gordon for sure. I remember Aaron Gordon orders. I think they both did it. Aaron Gordon and Zach Libby both did it. If he nail, if he does that though, like that's a nasty dunk. Brian's like, yeah, it's inside of info already. Nah, I don't. I'm like, yo, if you didn't see me just now, I just turned back and forth like eight times because I don't know which screen, because one screen caught up to the other one. Now I don't know who's first. Somebody buffered, huh? Yeah. One attempt left, huh? That's what I see right now.  Cold, man, it's cold world. I think that's it. What happened? Come on. I might have missed it, but I'm seeing him like just getting dapped up. Yeah, yeah. Look, he tried it again, but with two hands. He tried to finish with two hands and just missed it. Yeah, he just missed it. That's a great miss. You know what I mean? That was what, see, in NBA Live, when you have a great miss, they'll still give you like sixes. For me, that's what it would be. Not a five, right? Sixes across the board, that's a great miss. If you're gonna miss, do it on like an epic dunk. Damn, that would have been good though. I got a strange feeling, Brian. We're gonna be seeing Obi-Wan JTA coming up in the finals, man. They better bring it though. It's both of them have the size. They got the size to finish, so they shouldn't have any problems. If we're doing math, right? Jalen Green's got 45 and 38, so that's an 83. That's not a hard score to beat. Both those guys are like right on pace. They just need 40s, right? 40s, yep. That's it, just straight. Let's make it a dunk. See, look, great miss. They gave them straight sixes for Cole Anthony.  That's tough. That was a nice dunk though, if he would have made it. He needed to hit that. That dunk was crazy. I just don't think he cuffed it long enough because it was slipping out of his hands. Yeah, that's why he went for the second hand because he couldn't hold the cuff on because his hands are small. He should have did that dunk first and then the Timbs went after because the Timbs probably had an effect on his feet. You know what I mean? Like, them Timbs is heavy. He probably should have just waited. Oh my God, if Juan Toscano Anderson hit that, though we've seen that dunk before. That's one of those dunks that never gets old though. You know what I mean? I don't know. And like he kind of mentioned, like with the scores, like he just needs like a 40, right? So. He just needs a 40. That is a 40 though. Home runs, yeah. This is my thing. Home runs never get old. Home runs never get old. How many times does he home runs? And every year that, you know, everybody's looking at the home run derby is boring, but then when the home run derby comes, Twitter timeline is crazy because some dudes ripping off five home runs in a row, six home runs, like I'm a Mets fan. I saw everybody going nuts about Peter Lanza. When I do, we just cranking him out the park. It's the same thing. You know, he's just hitting home runs. He's been at home runs for 200 years now. I don't, I don't know. Reinventing the dunk wheel. Like, you know what I mean? Not literally the dunk wheel. Sorry, don't please don't bring that back, but literally we don't have to do it. He got three nines from that windmill. That's a high score. That's a 43. Look, Jalen Green, you're with Jalen Green. So now Obi needs a 40 and then he's good. Call Anthony is out already. Yeah, Jalen's on his way out. Jalen's on his way out. Obi just needs a four. Well, Obi, he'll get a 40. Yeah, he'll get a 40 for sure. He just does his, but Rob don't want to see it. But if he just does his regular between the legs dunk, he'll probably just get straight A to just go out to the finals. I kind of want that though. Like, dude, just, yo, yo, Brian, do you have some type of insider information or something? But to be fair, to be fair, Sato, he did it in a reverse. So it's a little different. That's true. That's true. It's it's off the back. We're like that. I think that's a 10. It wasn't clean enough. That's what I see. It wasn't clean enough for it to be right. It sat on the rim for a split second. Yeah, that's not clean. That's that's a 45. That's a 45. Yeah, that's a good one. Get to the next round. That's a 45. Yeah. But that's enough to get him to the next round. Yeah, he'll get the 45. If he didn't have to reach for it at the end there, he's grabbing for it. It would have been a 50. We're going to dunk. That's a nine for me. He wants a 50. He ain't getting a 50. Clyde gave him a 10. No. That would that's that that would have been a 50 if he got it in clean. It feels clean. It feels clean. It was a scraper, for sure. It's definitely a scraper. Clyde's Clyde scores have been all over the place tonight. Yeah, 46. Clyde off that Cleveland Sib. Yeah, we're having a good night. They probably all are. I think you got a good title to blame them. I want 2K to simplify their dunk contests.  You got to tap the buttons like OD. It's like Guitar Hero almost like, yo, I just like it the way they had it in NBA Live. Just do that. Press a couple of buttons. Press a couple of buttons. You know what I'm saying? Like, I know what dunk I'm going to do off memory. I don't want to have to pick it beforehand. Like that's weird. Like, come on, man. Just press like, you know, what? What was it like triangle and R2 together?  All right. Once it's gone on the set, we'll be topping. Oh, I think I mean. This is a head-heart thing for me. You know, my head says Obi. My heart says Juan. Man. That's kind of where I'm at right now. I kind of think Obi. I think Obi is going to get it just off the strength that he's already kind of been through this before. You know what I mean? In the finals, even though we've seen a little Obi already, I think he just knows. I think when you've gone through it, you're like, this is what I would have done differently. He's sitting on something. Like. He must be. I think both of them are though. I think both of them were like, all right. They were playing it. They were playing it safe. They're like, all right, all I need is a 40. They did the math. We just did. So they were like, all right, let's just get, let's get a good one down. Save, save the bag for the finals. You know, just get to the finals and that's it. See if Co-Athony hit that dunk, then those guys will try to go off. But now we got to wait. Yeah. The tone was set horribly, right? Like off the red. Like the tone was just like, like, it looked cool. Like everybody from New York was like, oh, but then like he just didn't deliver it. I don't know. He kind of just missed the boat off rip. And then like once that tone is set, then everybody's like, okay, maybe I don't have to pull the bag out. So we'll see finals though. I think finals. I mean, if I had to pick, I think I might go JTA. Honestly, he looks good. He just, he's dunking these with ease. He's just, he's making it look easy. He's mailing his stuff. And I'm pretty sure Jason Richardson probably told him that cause I've heard interviews with Jason Richardson when he says these guys just do too much. They're just doing too much. Know what you know. But just lock your dunks down. But they definitely both are saving their best dunks for this round. Like I got a feeling, I got a feeling that we're going to see something that like there, we're both going to be like, it's going to be a tight in this final round between them. They could be doing dunks that are like both fifties. Cause you're going for the 50 every time in the final round. You guys, I know you guys are going to be ahead too. Hold, hold, hold back, hold back. I just, I just want him, I just want, Obi deserves this because he's been getting, you know, you ain't the round by Tibs. Like for lack of a better word, like they just don't know, is this dude a big man? Is he a wing? Like we just don't know what to do with him. I'm just like, what are we, what are we doing? Like just, you know, he deserves this.  Cause now as we go into the playoff stretch, Tibs is not going to play him. So 10 minutes, one night, 18 the next, then 12, then 20, then then a DMP, then a D, yeah. That's just horrible. You can't get any consistency like that. He doesn't even know his role on the team. So I think they should play him a lot more though, and maybe just give him like those like 20 minutes or 18 minutes a game. Cause like, how is he supposed to get better if you're not letting him grow, right? And Tibs is like one of those dudes where like last year we saw him, you know, kind of bring this team to the playoffs and then, but Tibs teams like history shows that they just get tired of a system after a while. Tibs treats every single game, every game as if it's the game seven of the NBA finals. It could be the Knicks versus the magic on a Wednesday. It could be the Knicks versus the Kings on the Monday night. Like they will treat, he will treat everything just like game seven of the NBA finals, it's ridiculous.  And when him and Obi are playing together, like Obi plays a lot better when D Rose is on the floor too. And we haven't seen that since like late December since D Rose has been out. So I think like he's just one of those important pieces on that Knicks team. Yeah, don't, yeah. I don't, I don't want this to turn into Tibs rotation against with the Knicks because every game I'm looking at it, I'm just like, cool, you guys just blew a 20 point lead. Why does he get the same dudes? You know what I mean? Like just, I just hope Obi survives the season and then the Knicks give him a contract because there's a world he doesn't get that second contract. I know what happened. JTA is pulling up and stopping mid because he knows he wants to hit his dunk. Oh, I know what he did. I know what he did. I know what he did. What do you think he did? He tried, so he did a windmill but I think he was trying to put his elbow in the rim like I was saying earlier. He clearly tried it and that's why he motioned like this. They both, Obi was like, oh, he's going for the elbow. Yeah, you could tell. You could tell by the way he dunked. He got too low. He got too low. See, and he's helping, he's hitting his arm too. I feel bad because this dunk contest is gonna get killed by a lot of people. Hey guys, I'ma let you guys get the instant reactions. I'm gonna head out.  Yes, I want you all to hold back the reactions. Shout out to you guys. Appreciate you guys having me on. Appreciate your time, Justin. Have a good night. Damn, I wish he got it. I was just calling for an elbow in the rim dunk. Yeah, that stinks, man. 39 is a score, by the way. He took off from too far. Literally, when you do that, you have to be as close as possible. You have to take off from as close as possible because you need to get, you need to literally go up and in. Like it's not just slip your arm over. You have to pull it up and then get it in. It's crazy. When Vince did it, he did it with emphasis, though, too, right? Like just his hops? Because he dunked it and put the whole arm in. It was crazy. And he didn't do a windmill either. Rocket boots. Yeah. He didn't do a windmill either. He's like, oh, look at Carmella Anthony. They just cut to him with his son. Jaylin Green trying to give Obi-Top an advice. Come on, man. Oh, oh, I just saw what he tried to do on a replay. Obi tried to go between the legs, hit the backboard first with his palm, and then dunk it. So he tried to go between the legs, hit the backboard, and then go down, which... That's a crazy thing to do. He scrapped the idea, though. He just went off the wall, caught it, went between the legs, and just did regular Obi-Topping. But yo, this means that he's done that dunk before because you're not gonna bring something like that out on the dunk contest. If you haven't hit that before. So he probably has, yeah. What do you think? It's the finals. Yeah, you gotta try everything, right? Like, he probably just looked at the backboard and was like, you know what? Look at that, Obi-Topping went between the legs. Yeah, off the backboard. This is like a classic Obi-like. If you, you know what, years from now, when we think of Obi, after he retires, we're gonna think of him like, that's his classic move in between the legs. That's his package on 2K. It's all just in between the legs. That's it. It's just all in between the legs. I remember when he did that in college, I was like, oh, that's fire. Yeah. And then he did it in Summer League. I was like, cool, that's dope. And then he did it in NBA game. I was like, cool. And then he just keeps doing them. He's like, all right, dude. We got a 10, he got a 10 from Dominique Wilkins and an eight from Clyde Drexler. He got a 45, everybody else gave him a nine. They wanna go home. I think everyone's confused about the dunk contest right now. I think everyone's confused about what they wanna give out. What's a 10? It's nothing that everyone thinks. We got a comment from Lando, weakest dunk contest ever. And we might be saying that after this. Yeah, this is tough. No, I'm not. Because the weakest one will still be the trio, the three-on-three tag team match where they did that in 24 years or whatever. That one would just. Oh, the Jason Richardson jerseys. Oh, no! Robin, we all were like, what are you? Come on! You have to know it. He's got the inside scoop, man. Why can't I get? I gotta get, Fandu, I gotta gamble on these. All right? Because the parlays are not working for your boy right now. He has to nail this. If he doesn't nail this, we're ending stream. Oh. Now I'm excited, though. He's got that Jay Rich jersey on. Like, I wanna see this. Well, he missed the first one. He's trying to get his timing. Yo, do you practice these dunks before y'all do them? Like, damn, everybody's missing. See, I feel like you can't put the Jay, like, I feel like when you put the other players jersey on to pay homage, you have to nail it on the first one. You have to. You can't, like, it takes away from it. At least the second one. At least the second one. Yo, I'm getting nervous watching this right now because I want him to hit it so bad, but. You know, Jay Rich had a lot of good dunks in that thing, too. Like, why is this the one that won? Underrated. If I'm gonna be honest, if I'm gonna be honest, he, yeah. Just do the East Bay fun. That's it. He doesn't have to do all this. That's the one that Jay Rich did where he dunked it his offhand, too. Yes, the East Bay was off, yeah. East Bay fun was offhand. That's why it's the phone. He has so many. He had the one where he caught it off the backboard, put it between his legs, but it was high. I think if you think about Jay Rich's dunks, like, I think he maybe had the strongest contest, like, because he had like back to back to back in dunks and never did he have like a bad dunk. Damn. You know what's crazy? Everybody is always trying to do the dunks that the first place guy does. What about like, dude who had nasty dunks that finished on third? You know what I mean?  You know what I mean? Like, I think about Gerald Green blowing the cupcake. I hate that.   I love that dunk. No, I never want to see that dunk ever. I remember what had happened. Like, they were like, and he blew it out. He blew it out. I was like, what is this? I thought that was fire. He just went and just blew it out and then dunked it. I was like, oh. I didn't know what he did at first. Remember what Dwight did with the stickers? That's impressive as hell. I like that one. You put the sticker at the top and then dunked it. Like, that's so impressive. I also just liked the sticker.  And that made it funnier for me. He's crazy. So, see, this is like a dunk contest fail that just happened. Like, you put on Jay Rich's jersey. You don't hit the dunk and you get a 30. Like, that's terrible. I feel bad. I feel bad. It's Obi just going in between the legs.  He just really just put in between the legs and just did it. Wait, why he said replay it? Did he go off the backboard? Did he do it? Did he go off the backboard? I think he blew out a candle, man. That's why they call it up for that replay. No, I think he took the ball. I think he scraped the ball. Oh, he did it. He did it. He went off the backboard. He did what he was trying to do. That's why he's telling him to go and look at the replay. Oh, that's nice. See, that's something I haven't seen before. I like that. I like that. That's tough. I don't know what's tough. I will say needing a replay to watch it, tough sell. Nine and a half. Nine and a half? Nine? I give it a nine. Because I don't know. I like the replay. Because sometimes, when it's that quick, you might miss something. But that's actually a nice dunk. I needed a replay for Gerald Green. There was another one from that era where you had to see it again. Where it was like, yo, what did they do? I don't remember what exactly it was. There's a couple of them that are like that. That are sneaky like, yo, what did he just do? He's just something crazy. That's a good playlist. Should look that up. Sneakiest dunk contest dunks or underrated dunk contest dunks. What would you guys rate this dunk contest out of 10 enjoyment level? Six out of 10. When you do a really good dunk and just miss, it was a lot of great misses. It was a lot of great misses, but just six out of 10. I feel bad because it's like the Timberland dunk. I liked it. I just kind of wish it was a little bit more than a left-handed windmill. But it's Tim's, so I can understand. Obi Toppin, he kind of just played it safe. And then Co-Anthony and Juan Toscano Anderson had very impressive misses. And Jaylin Green also had an impressive miss, too. That's the thing. Three of them. Obi's the only guy that made all of his dunks. So here's my thing. As we close out and send this home in the last couple of minutes, I don't know if they give these guys enough time to actually try this stuff out. Sure, maybe they have like two, three weeks, but I don't know, man. These dudes, like, stunk. And I know some of them work with the Team Flight Brothers, and they do amazing stuff, right, Team Flight Brothers? Like, everything they do with the dunkers. And like, I don't know, man. It's tough. That's tough. I feel like Obi is one by default. I feel like he's just one by default. He did. He just made all his dunks. I think so. That's how he won, literally.  Yeah, everybody's going to be killed. I'm already seeing it. I checked in a couple of group chats, and they're like, one of them is like, I canceled plans for this. Like, that's probably more of a you problem. Yeah, probably you. Like, come on, man. That's probably more of a you problem, but whatever. Like, look, I think we got a really good stream out of it. So we were able to make content out of it. There's good stuff here. Yeah. So there's that at least, but. All right, well. Third Nick to win the dunk contest, by the way. Nate Robinson, Kenny Walker. Woo. That makes sense. No, honestly, like, it's All-Star Saturday. The three-point competition was good. You know, I thought the skills competition was good, too. I like how they kind of switched things up. So it's just the dunk contest. That's the contest everyone wants to see a little bit of a letdown. But sometimes that's All-Star Saturday. Like, we've experienced that before. So hopefully the game tomorrow is going to be really good. That's what I'm looking forward to now. Yeah, let's do that. Final predictions. Who do we think wins? All right, who do you think wins the All-Star game? Who is MVP? That's it. Let's keep it like that. Brian, let's go with you. And then, when was Shantel? Lady's Glad. T. LeBron and LeBron wins MVP in Ohio. I'm just going for it. I think LeBron's going to have a You Must Have Forgot game. And he's going to go super hard and try to win. And then he'll probably, you know, sit out for the rest of the season in, like, March 30th. I feel the same. I feel the same. Shantel? I can see that. I like the whole Cleveland aspect of it, though. You know what? I'm going to go with Team Durant. And I'm going to take Jota win, just because I think it's going to be, like, a statement coming out party for him the year that he's been having. He's also in conversation for MVP. And so I think he's definitely going to make a statement. What about you, Rob? Yeah, no, I agree with Brian. I think LeBron and LeBron MVP.  But we all know MVP for regular season's narrative. And if anybody wants to come out and, like, torch, you know, put people on notice more on a big stage, it's the guy who was roasting ESPN for not having more Crizzlies on national TV. You know, it's going to be that dude who's literally going to be like, yeah, this is why you should put us on TV. And what's a bigger stage? So I agree. Exactly. He's going to be trying to catch bodies all night long. So that will be my second choice. Like, if I hedged, that will be my second choice. Especially that Team Durant doesn't have Durant on it, right?  So we'll see. I think it'll be a good time.  Spoh is like, why couldn't we get Kyrie to play in this? Why could it run Middleton into the ground? You sure you don't want to play? Come on, James, come out there. Jimmy just had double overtime two nights ago. He's going to play like 10 minutes tops. And he's not even going to do anything. He's going to get like two points on the put back, one steal. He's not going to do nothing tomorrow. Yeah, I will say for everybody out there betting on everything to do with player props, just just one thing, like a couple of things just to keep in mind to your point, Jimmy Butler, I think Jimmy's not even here right now. Chris Paul, they took him off. If he shows up, take us under. Yeah, if Chris Paul shows up, if Jimmy Butler shows up, take those under is then Devon Booker, I would assume maybe Devon Booker is a good one for an under two for some reason. I don't think. I think Devon Booker might want to get that Kobe trophy, though. So, you know, keep an eye out for Devon Booker because they're going to be gunning for that trophy. I would agree with that. But like they're also like they have a good spot. That's the thing when like you're really high up in the seat in the seatings, those dudes tend to not take it serious sometimes, you know, like sometimes except for LeBron LeBron's coming on every all star game trying to win every all star. So like you guys have a great pick for MVP. It's Cleveland. Like so he's going to he's definitely going to go over 19 for sure. I would take that bet. I think I also think Lamello ball is going to try to do what like what like Sebastian Telfair did in the McDonald's All-American game like in 2004. He's just kind of trying to get mad. He's going to try to get mad assist. He'll probably take a couple of shots, but I think he's just going to try to pass to everybody. And if his if his numbers show up over under, I might be tempted to take that on the tube. Well, the one thing I'll leave on this and that will be kind of like a fun maybe back to look out for is I pretty sure Shaq challenged him to point out the floor and do the high school that we did in high school that put him on the map when he pointed out the floor and shot it.  So let's see if he does it or if he makes it. Does it makes it. Shaq said you have to point, do the whole thing, recreate the whole shot in the all star game. He should do it. I bet you it happens. I bet you you try it. He'll try it. He'll definitely try, especially my name on the line. He'll try it. All right. Let's end it here. You know, we had a good time. A couple hours spent all star Saturday night kind of a dud. Appreciate everybody stopping by Brian Chantel. Everybody can follow you there on the Twitter's at Brian Fonseca and why at Chantel Shand. I believe did I say that right? Kill me if I said it. No, it's yeah, there's an S in the middle because somebody else has my handle. So I had to pass up in there. I hate that. I hate that. I feel the pain. All right, y'all. Appreciate everybody for stopping by. We'll catch you next time. All right. Bye, guys.
