Bling bling every time I come around your city bling bling every time I come and I'm a city bling bling Pick a rain word about fiddie bling bling Pick a rain word about bling bling Every time I buy a new ride bling bling bling bling La Rizzo's on Yokohama Tiles Welcome back to the alley oof I am the kid Juju Kadi joined by my sister as always Trista Creek How are you doing my sister? I'm in Fort Worth Juju watching a little basketball watching a little Yukon Domas Wish I was in the DMV though because Holy F was that regional maybe generational Duke St. John's and then Duke Yukon, Yukon, Michigan State All the games came down to the last shot, all of them were chaotic. Holy moly Bro, dupe took out your girls man L.S.U.

Flajae, Salook man Big Malaysia, come on man we love you though because we all know she's a winner off the course Well that don't even matter. Not in here nor there man. It's a lot of March madness to get to Holy moly. First off the most important piece of March madness thus far, your boy Tank took care of Tyree's in a versus battle bro.

Molly, why my boy? Did you see that? You know what I did it Juju? But the good news is I already knew that would happen.

Here's how I knew that. Here's how I knew that. I already did. I already did and I know we don't have a lot of time to go into this but I already did a versus challenge with Tyree's.

I became Tank and my friend became Tyree's and we went I swear to god and we went I'm going to my playlists. Yeah, where is it? I went Oh, you know what? Never mind.

It was Tyree's in show. Scratch everything I said. I didn't know 15 yards since you got to take that bet right now because I'm so sorry first and 25. What the hell was that?

How are you going to act like that? We just finished waking up. How are you going to change it up? I ain't going to go.

I ain't going to go to Trump or my sister Brad. Look, we ain't doing that. But Tank took care of being his though. Tyree's was playing games.

Basically Tyree's was trying to have rose battles and he would lose it on. Tank would cool the hell. Tank to keep it moving and the epic moment from the battle. I think that brother Turtleneck, right?

The Turtleneck love the freestyle ended my boy. I didn't watch it. Not in here nor there though. March man is speaking of ending folks.

Duke went down epically to Dan Hurley and don't boys. Did you see it? Of course. So here's what was going on.

They were down 20. You come was down 20. I just first and foremost love Yukon. I got love Dan Hurley.

I've made so much money betting on Yukon and I feel like I discovered Dan Hurley when he went to the Phil Knight Invitational. He was already on the hot seat. It was Thanksgiving. My mom ended up with COVID so I couldn't even see her.

So I just went to every single game and I sat, yep, shout out to her. She's fine. Sat behind Dan Hurley, sat with the like AD of the school and watched him, watched him do all the things that we now know is commonplace against Nate Oates in Alabama. And I was like, I love this guy.

He's like, Hey Jay, Hey Jay, come over here to the ref to the ref to the non-conference tournament. So I've been rocking with Dan Hurley. So I go down 20 and I'm like, man, maybe it wasn't there a year after all because I've been still, you know what you do? I've been still saying, right on the end of the lecture, I'm rocking with Yukon.

I'm rocking with Yukon. I still think this could be a wake up call. I still think. And then they go down 20 and I'm like, man, maybe I was maybe I was wrong.

And then I hear this southern woman at the restaurant, she goes, y'all here Duke went down. And I was like, Oh, oh, oh, hold on. I watched it back and I watched the last like two minutes of the game. And I'm like, the whole time, how does Duke lose?

How does you go in this game? Right. You're watching the bad. Like, okay, when does the shoe drive, when does the villain walk in with the knife?

And he walked in with three seconds to go, bro. Like down two points, game on that. That was down three points, bro went to the free throw line, missed the first one. So at that point, I'm like, no, they were down two because they were down four.

Yukon hits the three. They're down one. And then they end up missing the first free throw Yukon does, making the second. She don't tell me how the game went, bro.

You didn't watch it. I love you. You're my sister. They was down four.

They was down three, I think, but he went down to the free throw line because they follow him and he only had two free throws. So he missed the first one. And then I was like, damn, he made the second free throw. Now they're down two points, exactly.

And so now they're down two with Duke inbounding. So I'm thinking the game is over no matter what. No matter what. You're in that turnover, bro not getting enough credit for the deflection first, as well as being poised enough to knock down that shot.

That's a freshman. And Carabans were with all to know that. Look, I'm wet from everywhere, but I'm not going to force this. Let me get it to the young fella.

Pass it to the young fella. He knocked down a shot over a lifetime, bro. From the logo to you. From the bro.

And they were broke. All game from three. They were broke. One for 18, they started.

It's crazy. It's crazy. You know the thing that I saw John Fanta talk about this, the goat, John Fanta on it's a little to him. Why?

He talked about why is John Shire telling the team to advance the ball? There we go. There we go. There we go.

Get to it. That's a real deal, bro. Kaden, Kaden, boozer. Yes.

He ended up passing into coverage, turn the ball over. But why are you not just standing there putting your arms around the ball, letting them foul you? Just let the clock expire. Let the clock expire.

You did. Like you say, bro. That's going to live with that young brother forever. I'm so sorry I got to live with that, bro.

But at the same time, like you say, coach here talking about go, advance it. Throw the ball. Bro, why? You're up to with three seconds to go.

There's no reason to do this. And on top of that, that was no 20 point pass. He made that mistake on like that was no 20 point deflection, three pointer he made. Yabuas blew that lead, man.

So as mad as people in the world and making fun of young Kaden is, bro, he ain't blow the whole 20 point lead, man. Give my boy some slack. That was a melt. That was a melt in the sun.

You're talking about a freshman. You're talking about two freshmen. Kaden's got blood all over his jersey. Cam Boozer's eye looks like the mask.

And it's just, I'm glad you got that. Looking like, looking like he's starring with Cher in the 1980s. Dylan, please find this b-roll and put it over because I know he doesn't put Kaden right next to homeboy that played in the mask. Rocky, I think his name was.

Anyway, like they're not the reason. I think John Shire deserves a lot of smoke. There were, there were people, it's so bad people are comparing him to Hubert Davis. And I said, you cannot compare him to Hubert Davis because Hubert Davis's teams don't show up ready to play.

Pretty much ever. Like Duke is known for melting in the sun and letting him blow. He's up on Hubert, bro. He's up on fire last week.

He's up. He watched the show, bro. He can't do that to Hubert. We love you Hubert, but you know how it is.

Like you guys were the number one team in the country and you made it to the NIT that year. So what the hell? The Smurcher shirt is now available on levittarr.com, by the way. Not a halo there.

But what a fantastic minsturment we've had. Right, uh, fantastic. And bro, like you said, seeing Dan win the game, he was full of so much emotion, bro. Before and after the game, I went on here by the referee, bro.

Miss Rebecca, can you please pull up the video, title, a really crazy ass, because I have never seen a coach do this to the real never in my life, bro. I don't know if you get fined for this suspended at the bro, bro. What is wrong, coach? Also the blazer one, a little bit down the shoulder is so perfect.

That blazer is hanging off his shoulder, bro. Just walking up to him, kind of, kind of doing this, dude. He's like, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Make that call. Yeah. Pimp walk.

Well, Pimp walk. See you to find a foe. Pimp walk. Pimp walk.

Come on. We have four head and four head with the rubber. I salute it down early, man. Can you imagine those people got in a technical for that?

And they would have made, we would have had free throws with point three seconds. Dan, please relax. Oh my God. No, I think the game was over.

But I, so I think this would have went to the next game. Can you imagine that number of suspended my boy for the F F? They're going to check the game again. They're going to check.

They're going to be Illinois. They're going to be Illinois. They're going to be Illinois. They're going to be Illinois.

They're going to be this. They're going for this. They're going for this. Yeah.

So don't destroy Yakuvish, but it's over with it. Moving on, man, to the league, man. We had a lot of craziness going on over the weekend. We had my sister, Caitlin Clark, over the weekend announcing the games.

You did, which is fire, slow the Caitlin, bro. So let me turn the camera a little bit. So we get that 2-2 in the film, bro. Caitlin been doing it.

She been snapping photos for the league. She been hosting gigs. You see my sister, fresh as hell on the panel, man. Listen to what my sister had to say about the Holy Oakish.

I think everybody knew who's going to do everything you could to get back in. I mean, there's not many people that average in circle bubble alone. You're lucky enough to get maybe a couple of those in a season. He's done it all year long, coming back to back here.

So it's pretty incredible. And honestly, he's probably my favorite player to watch. And I think he's best player in the world. Whoo.

What you think, Trista, is the Joker the best player in the world? Let me start by saying, oh s**t. I've been on your seat belts, ladies and gentlemen. Hold on, scat me.

Hold on. All right. I'm ready. When we have a major mismatch against the legend, we need to preface it by saying, number one, Caitlin, I love you.

You're tremendous. Pretty much everything you do, you're a star on. Okay. So just leave that there.

You know good and well, Nicole Yokech is not your favorite player in the world. We just did an NBC shoot with you and Jamal, and you told Jamal Crawford that Luca is your favorite player to watch. Come on now. Come on now.

You cannot switch it up now. And that step is number two. Nicole Yokech was not list. So you joined the broadcast and you're acting brand new.

Okay. You can have multiple players. She's one of those people who has multiple best friends. Oh, this is my BFF.

This is my BFF. That's my BFF. How many god do you have best you have, Caitlin? You can't have multiple favorite players to watch.

That's their word favorite means the top. No one else is in there. Also, Nicole Yokech is the best player in the world. You are right about that.

You are right about that. Thought I was about that. Look, how about this? We'll be back right after these messages.

And we back, man, bro. I had to take a break, bro. I couldn't stop laughing. I needed a break to laugh at my sister because she's the biggest joker in the world minus the best, best, best, best, best player in the world.

You did come on, man. Moving on, though, my boy, Joker had a response because he heard what Caitlin had to say, too. And you know, my boy got a response on the mic, man. Well, he had the same, Mr.

Becca. That fate looks good. We have the same agent. That's why he said it.

He don't take nothing serious. We got the same agent. That's why she said it. That agent's getting bread.

I don't think they got the same agent. I think my boy lied. You know, like a liar. But moving on, man, whether you think he is the best or not, I think he is definitely top three.

I think it's G.A. Don't actually lock that MVP in two, unfortunately. Yes. Because you can't deny that greatness, bro.

You've been getting it done all year. What you got for us? Yeah, I think I'm looking for it right now. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, agency.

They have the same agency. Not the same agent. I like that. Important.

Oh my God. No, see the wrap. I don't know if you've seen it. The Orlando Magic played the Raptors the other day.

And my boys, I feel like Orlando Magic, bro. I'd be wanting to believe in them so bad. But then they go out and lube our fire straight. They look goofy and losing the fire straight.

Why do you believe in them? I don't know, bro. I think it's the pinstripes for some reason. I think it's that's the pinstripes because it's reminiscing.

Remind me of the good old days. But during the game against the Raptors, the Raptors went on a 31 to 0 run during the game, bro. This is looking like Yukon versus Syracuse. What is going on at Orlando?

Is this who they are? Or do they need to just get it together like in? Oh, I think it might be a little bit Jamal Mosley. I think it might be a little Paolo.

Paolo's just clunky ass offense. I'm just going to say that the offense hasn't looked good the entire time. There's moments where you feel like they can score and then they go five, six, seven minutes. And you're like, this is hard to put my eyes on.

I want to close my eyes while this is going on. Like they've turned Desmond Bane into a very up and down player. They turn, basically ruined Kentavia's Call of Hope's career. Kentavia's Call of Hope coming off of Denver.

Coming off of Denver, KCP was like that guy. He was like the three and D guy, 47% from three, strapping your best player on the perimeter. Everybody was like, damn, Denver lost him. This sucks so bad.

He's so crucial. He gives to Orlando. His career is basically like nobody's talking about KCP anymore. It sucks.

My boyfriend is with the two car smartphones right now. That's right. It's Memphis. And it, no, we haven't heard and hide nor hair of his production since.

And like, you better watch out. You're in Orlando and you're a shooter. Like that's what's going to happen to you as well. Somebody needs to put Anthony Black in charge of his team.

You like Anthony Black, bro. You be bringing his ass off. You be random time. We've been chilling watching the fight with Jake Powell and Anthony Joshua.

Oh, I don't know Anthony Black up to right now. Well, yeah, I think the magic can get it together. I think this is just a blip in the system. Hopefully.

They first run exit. Yeah, I'll watch. Their first run exit. I don't know.

There can be major changes. You gave up. You gave up four first round picks. And then your first run exit.

You cannot do that. Nah. Moving on, bro. To stay in the East, the Knicks put down another close one against the Thunder yesterday.

But at the same time, to me, seeing Kat go out there and look so pedestrian, bro, 15 points, 12 points. You last can hit three rebounds, bro. I don't know, bro. I'm trying to believe in the Knicks, but they making it hard for me to do so, bro.

What you think about the boys? I think you're right. I think it's, it's a lot harder to say that something that's happening in the regular season is not going to continue to persist in the postseason. It's hard.

It's like even harder to imagine a world where you just get significantly better in the postseason than you are in the regular season. It's the opposite, right? Like, this is an amazing regular season team. And in the postseason, they're going to drop down a little bit because it's a seven game series.

Everyone is game planning for you. They're scheming. And it's a whole other ball game. It's almost a totally different sport.

It's very rare that a team is better in the postseason in that other sport. And like, if there was a team that I would bet on to not get better in the postseason than they are in the regular season, it would be any Mike Brown lead team. I want y'all to take a second and drink in the intricacies, how she wove that story around the drum head and then just put it all together like, bro. And that's why I don't trust them, boy.

Look, I said, I said, almost the same thing, but she said it in a way that's elegant and is going to make, let you know exactly show her, show her work, basically. And that's why I love you, sis. That's what I do. Literally, because when I believe in Mike Brown, it's a thesis.

It's my thesis paper on why I never will believe in Mike Brown. I also think like Carl Anthony towns and Mike Brown are not a good fit. And it's only a matter of time before it's either me or him kind of a thing. And I don't know who me is and I don't know who him is and I don't know who the team is going to choose.

But I'm going to tell you this right now. Well, there's tension here, because he's not putting cat in the right spots to succeed, because we keep bringing up how pedestrian cat is, is like cats getting cooked more on defense than he ever has. And it's like, cats always been better defense, but like, you have to protect him. And Mike Brown's like, nah, nah, I'm going to leave you out there on that island.

All right. You all start. And look, the way that I've been playing, bro, he is not to him. I know that he is not to him.

And Mike Brown, I can't call him to him either, brother. This is bro and bro. I don't know if it's bro or bro. But moving on, man, let's get to a little segment that we like to call boy.

Stop. All season on, bro. I've been saying how the refs can kiss my ass. Excuse me, pardon me.

They can kiss my black ass. I was going to get more gentle, but it did not. Let's get to it. Right, bro.

At the end of the pace, this guy in the other night, did you see Jay Huff in the in the huddle? The coach was coaching him up on how to fly by the end. Let's get this file. My boy got this file call with 0.1 seconds left on the clock.

Roll it, Mr. Becca. Wow. Boy.

I know you lying. Got to the free throw line. Me, it's both for the day on free throws. That's how it's done.

That's how it's done. You take it. Is this tanking? That's how it's done.

It is a good case of tanking, bro, because I don't know. Listen, Rick Carlisle's got the lead on his ass. Okay? So you got to find unique ways to make it look like you're trying to compete and you lost the game.

Because as this was going on, I was like, what the hell is Jay Huff trying to go to the free throw line for? They know good and well. They're trying to be the worst team in the league. This is how it's done.

This is masterful. This is truly Picasso levels of creative thinking in terms of how to tank. Because what is the league going to say? What's the league going to say?

You intentionally got fouled and flopped so that you could try to win the game against the clippers. I'm sorry. Sometimes you just misread those. He's a big man and it doesn't even look so I mean, come on.

Back rim. Clankers, bro. Wow. I'm so impressed.

I'm talking about, yes, you right. That's a great taking job at the same time. The referees, man, making that call in the clutch like that, man. Unfortunately, it looked like Sis who said she ain't gone and got into it.

We always got her back. But since you can't make that call, bro, let it, let it roll out, Sis. Let it roll out for sure. The refs are out of pocket for that call.

But Rick Carlisle, boy, go. You go boy. You go boy. We see you, Rick.

We see you. We see what it is. That's chestnut chuckers. You know what else I saw over the weekend, bro?

That's why I wore this jersey. This is triple line times right now. The women's Michigan team final for you got to know man. Come on, man.

You think that Michigan women's is going to beat Texas today? Come on, man. Yeah. I know what's going on.

We got money on everything, but at the same time, you right, bro. Texas is looking good. Look, look, like she going crazy, but at the same time, Michigan boys and my boy did this jersey itself. Jalen Rose, bruh.

Did you see my boy? Jalen Rose on to be with his acting debut, bruh. I did not. I need to see Mr.

Becca. I don't care if this is 10 minutes. Play it all. They got my boy daughter done.

Shout out to Tubi. Tubi's getting people their bread, not going to lie. Tubi getting butt ache. Sag after him.

Ain't don't got shit on him. Look at my boy, bruh. Look at my hood, man. The brother butt hood up, bruh.

Crying. Nah, don't rewind it at all. Let it right. No.

Oh, man. Sir. Jalen Rose. Sir.

Sir. Sir. Can you please rewind that last part again? Just the last part when he got the news.

Sir. I mean, your choice is not a copy. It's not a copy, right? This is like kindergarten cop.

Oh my God. It's amazing. We lost fail. Jalen Rose, I come in too, bruh.

You got out there and you tried to be a bruh. You already know, but boy stop. It'll take time. Just keep trying.

Bro, boy stop to the producers. The script. Y'all did not have to keep that tape right there. Y'all could have told my boy, hey, bruh, let's do that one over.

Just tone it down a little bit. Like tone it down a little bit. It was also like a little bit. They didn't have another camera, you know.

It was like, oh, we can't. We don't have another camera. They can just zoom in on Jalen's face. Right, right.

So we have to have him make so much noise that they know. The audience knows he's really going through it, but it's really like on us because we have one camera because it's 2B. But about one red camera, but they're like, well, we got one camera. We're gonna zoom between y'all.

When he starts screaming, he's got to move. Also, like you can't just take another take and show Jalen from the other side. Just run the camera around and then patch him together. I really think they probably looked at that and said, by George, we got us.

We got us one. Moving on, bruh. Did you see my girl? Oh my goodness.

Miss Grand Thailand. I guess this is a section of the beauty competition where everyone gives the camera a little bit seductive dance and like be like, why? Their quote on, look, beauty content is going crazy. I don't know.

I don't talk to anybody. I don't know what they got going on. 25 million views. This has got to be good.

Bruh, look at my sister break out her version of a seduction dance. Roll it, Miss Rebecca. I love this. It's my favorite.

You got to see everything. Hit it, girl. Got it. Why'd she bite her?

Bruh. Damn, I'm loving this. She is the coolest person I've ever seen in my entire life. She sat out there at night and was like, listen, I got an idea.

I know I'm not winning this thing. We're about to go crazy on the final set. Bruh, I'm leaving here. She was back up dancer in no time.

Bruh, I love her so much, bruh. Like, are you other ladies? I don't know who won, but she is the winner in my book, bruh. Sissy, I don't give a damn.

Y'all gonna see that shit. Hey, my little brother, let me put this song up to it. Turn the music off, Mr. Becca.

Turn the music off. I'm back to play this and see if it sounds good with it. You got to hold on a second. Hold on a second.

We love you. Hey. Hold on. I didn't know, man.

Look, I didn't know, bruh. Miss Grand Tyler, we are maybe your biggest supporters. You're welcome on the alley-oop anytime you want to pull up on us, bruh. I don't know what she's gonna do or what she's gonna say, but she's welcome.

Right, but for the folks who was labeling her because the competition didn't, they didn't smile on that. They frowned upon it as they be doing, labeling it as a masculine dance. Boy, stop to y'all brothers, man. Last video, we get up out of here, man.

My boy, GP2, man. Snatching. He snatched my boy head, man, bruh. Bruh.

Bruh. Bruh was wrong with him, man, bruh. We just snatched that man head, man, for no reason, bruh. Like, this might be just as funny as Taylor Rose at the debut, bruh.

Because it's like, he don't even want to fight. You ain't try to slap that, man. You just yank the head, man, bruh. It was almost like the basketball version of Snatching Somebody's Chain.

Right, bruh. Like, oh, my God. As a head, man, kind of sore myself, bruh. I promise to God.

Ain't nobody out there. Please do not walk up on me and snatch my head, man. I promise to God. I'm gonna think you're trying to kill me, and I'm gonna defend myself.

That's all you need to know, bruh. Like, you're playing junior, bruh. You, sir, are a joker. Boy, stop pulling that man head, man.

Like that, bruh. It's a natural. But man, I'm gonna want to see it. See, now you didn't do anything about it, either.

Why did Zeke Noggi act like nothing happened? That's what I'm saying, bruh. To me, that's the ultimate sucker. Like, he pumped him out, because you're not going to snatch my head, man.

And I'll only be at least give you the oh, you better be glad you're my home by Gary, because I'm finna go up. He gave him the, oh, sure. The only reason this would not be out of pocket is if Zeke Noggi was out of headbands. And before the game, he asked Gary, could he borrow one?

And Gary's like, yeah, I'll let you borrow one. And then they get in a scrum. Gary's like, get me my headband back. This is like this, I'm crazy.

Get me my head, this is my headband. Right, that's exactly how they do you two in front of the hose. They be like, bro, you the man, my shirt look good on you brother. Well, yeah, man.
