Behind the Mic
There you go. They say that Dr. J was not known for shooting threes. They say Dr. J and his game was probably a little bit, how should I put it? He wasn't like Jordan. Jordan was in the three-point era. Well, Dr. J wasn't in the three-point era. In actuality, you can't consider this stuff to be on the level it is because you can't really compare this person with someone he never played against. But we're going to sit here and say, the one thing that you can judge on these players is by their athleticism, right? So, you look at Jordan, you look at LeBron, you look at Dr. J, you look at Kobe, they're elite. And the thing I love about this conversation is, is at what point in time did LeBron have to win his championships, or unlike all of those guys I just mentioned, the competition had thrived for three decades. Because there's no way you could tell me the 90s weren't tougher then now. It was way tougher. Actually, a lot tougher then what Jordan had to go through. I would consider Jordan's competition tougher. Now, what do we like to say? Jordan did way more with way less. And I personally say LeBron did the same, because every time he went up against tougher competition, he has his games where you're just like, wow, that was a mighty volume game. Especially that Toronto Raptors game in what, 17? Oh, my God, that was the best game of LeBron's life. Every clutch shot, every shot down the paint he was making. So looking for a shooting even to Wiggins three. He trusted Wiggis and he knocked it down. So the conversation's got to stop comparing errors for people because you're only great in the time you had. That's how you know. That's how you're going to go. It's not fair. It's not fair to those players, right? And then another thing I have, why does the media consistently pick these guys apart when the media don't know what the game is like to play at the highest level? These guys know what it is to take care of their bodies and mind. Like, look at Russ right now, even though he's not the Russ of the Thunder, no, credit to him. Russ is doing what he's doing right now. He's in the Western Conference playoffs. He was going against the Suns. He's doing the best he can possibly do. It reminds me of AI back in 2001. He ain't got nobody. He ain't got nobody on that team, but he is performing at the highest level he can compete. I mean, after a while, this conversation was going on about 90 minutes ago. I was actually good to even hear him pivoting levels to even the Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, because by the end of the day, they both were right. Angel Reese was competitive. Caitlin Clark was competitive, and they both even admitted that. Right. So why did people have to incite this black and white tactic of who was better or not? How come nobody's attacking what's the girl, Paige Buckets from UConn? Why could no one attack her when UConn girls won their championships and they were so dominant? You uplifted her on a higher pedestal. Same feeling with Breonna Stewart and Sue Bird. You up left them on higher pedestal, but when it's somebody black winning, it's not the same narrative. I think it's bogus. To even consider this is the level of even women in professional sports. What you would consider the scrutiny side of it is disgusting because Caitlin Clark did nothing wrong, and Angel Reese did nothing wrong. So the narrative on how you want to rate this division, I mean it's upsetting. These are two of the superstars in WNBA level type game that happens to be the best in competitive nature and they carried themselves well. And that's why I said it was good for that sport. But then you got the black progressives, you know, making general statements that have nothing to do with the sports. Like, I will. I will call this out anytime that is displayed. Like, what does Caitlin Clark have to do with Emmett till? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. What does Caitlin Clark have to do with reparations? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And if you are a bishop and you are preaching that, then you should be ashamed of yourself, because Caitlin Clark has absolutely nothing to do with these sorts of accusations that are being thrown at her. And it's a shame. And it goes the same thing with Angel Reese. She has no business being put in a spectrum of hating on Caitlin Clark because she's competitive and she happens to be black. So it takes a visual multitude of things to say, hey, we're pushing a narrative that should not be there. It should morally focus on what they do on the courts. And right now, those two are doing what Grant Hill and Jason Kidd did back in 1993, 94, one of them, when Grant Hill Jason Kidd were co-Rookie of the Years. And they focused on their skills on the court. And now they're in the Hall of Fame, right? So when we're seeing competitive women, you know, that sort of uplifted in that nature, let's continue to see competitive individuals as we see competitive women, as we see competitive men, let's just focus on, on what goes on on the field. That's what I'm trying to promote. As we pivot right now in the last probably 20 seconds, I want to give a moment of silence because I thought about this earlier when I touched on the Brandon Johnson thing, but it was the school shooting that actually happened in Tennessee. It was about three weeks ago. And I want to take the time to definitely offer thoughts and prayers for those families that were affected by that. Here we go. And thank you. And quite honestly, what we're seeing with these school shootings, it's got to stop. We're seeing so much. I mean, we just had another one here in the city of Chicago at a park. Stop getting these guns off the streets, man. And what Brandon Johnson was actually pushing, you know, you do have crime. You're in an uptick in murder in Chicago, but there has to be some form of sat down governance and accountability. I think with the new change and leadership, we're going to have somebody that's going to put it toward the front head. As of today, quite naturally, is inexcusable to me, man. It's, it's heartbreaking. I see it. I see it even with Uber drivers. I see it with even taxicabs. I see it with young children using their backpacks to carry guns. This is ridiculous. At what point in time is it going to stop? So, as a media person, is it something we want to take the time out of the day to work with Senator, I think it's Duckworth, Senator Duckworth's office and really push this as no agenda. Because again, how many times? And I remember hearing you and then I was talking with a guy. I think, think about it, dude, it was exactly what's going on in terms of what we had earlier about these guns being distributed. And I was mentioning that I think you, you have to really get at the head of the surface. Your problem with these local officials not acting on it, but I would take it a step further with the guns and local officials, right? Because when you cut in so many different realms, and this is just my opinion on it when you had these young cats selling drugs and they have minors carrying the drugs and you got 16 year olds carrying the guns, not fully trained to even use a gun because the laws are so strict at how they have them done by it. This is just one individual getting killed by the gun that he wasn't even meant to use. So, yeah, we were talking about earlier, we're just rapping with this other guy and the whole subject was, you know, cryptocurrency and how impactful cryptocurrency was in the hip-hop communities and it still is. Cryptocurrency started back with Nip, right, rest in peace Nip, Nip kind of was the first pioneer and people started learning more about cryptocurrency from Nip. He has seed selected that crypto connection because he's seen the long-term benefit of it, quite honestly, how crypto was always a recurring from Bitcoin to Doge, it really kind of took off there widely, but yet seemingly it's been more like how you see with these super athletes taking endorsement deals and now they're all making this big money on the back end, like today, the hottest thing right now is what, NIL money? We got kids profiting off of businesses right now with the NIL money. It's almost like the same thing applying for cryptocurrency that you can actually equip yourself with so many various entities. And I don't know, I thought, I thought of this about for awhile, to consider that the SEC has any jurisdiction on it is false, very much false. And that's been my whole issue with the way these exchanges have evolved, the way that the knowledge on crypto has been centered, and how we can develop good sounding systems to educate the public on what NFTs really are, how we can put those NFTs and equip them into a much growing billion-dollar industry in terms of the hip-hop industry, how we can maintain subscribers, fight off the scammers. Excuse me, my voice is raspy. And build a centralized system that is basically for the artist by the artist, maintained through the artistry. And that's why you see a lot of rappers, entertainers all jumping into the crypto world where they're all developing meme coins, is because this is the first time that they have dual master and ownership of their collection of art. Does that make sense? Because it sort of makes sense for me. And as I break this down to you, we're only going to keep this show going on for 45 minutes. So I thank you for showing up to this broadcast. We're going to keep this on two days a week, and I hope you enjoyed this week's of come talk to me. We're back. We're live, and we'll build that audience back again. Thank you.
