Transcript

00:00Did you guys see yesterday, Eric Spolstra?

00:05Major stink eye to Joel Embiid, major stink eye.

00:11It can only be described as stink eye, because Embiid,

00:15he was cheering on the bench because Anthony Davis had a monster putback.

00:21Looked like a monster.

00:23I mean, have you gotten, in the last couple of years, I've gotten more respect.

00:30And my respect has grown for Anthony Davis, right?

00:33Because unlike Embiid and unlike Carl Anthony Towns,

00:38he kind of had that same, he has turned it around.

00:41Yeah, mostly durability issues though, right?

00:43Like he's built- Yeah, but they also,

00:48I don't know if his defensive game was ever where it is now.

00:54Well, it's funny is that he's way bigger than Bam, but

00:59also hates playing center.

01:04Right, he's Carl Anthony Towns, but over the last couple of years,

01:10he's been a frequent visitor of the paint.

01:15So he has this putback dunk, and Joel Embiid is freaking out cheering.

01:20And even Halliburton's like, hold back, hold back.

01:23And just look at Spoh, just like looking at Embiid.

01:27My God.

01:28He's like- My goodness, Spoh.

01:31Yeah, right?

01:34It's like this- That's like NBA do not find me thing.

01:37I wish we could play the video, because the video is like,

01:39it was a slow-mo just like, look at the camera like.

01:45Shut up, we celebrate this.

01:47He's like, shut up, Joel.

01:50Wow, look at that stink eye that he's giving him, dude.

01:55My goodness.

01:56Yeah.

01:57Wait, but Steve Kerr is looking too.

01:59Look at Steve Kerr.

02:01Yeah, but Steve Kerr looks like he's got a little, you know, Embiid's happy.

02:04But Spoh's like, no thanks.

02:09We know who the coach should be.

02:11We all know.

02:12We all know.

02:13He will.

02:14Yeah, he will.

02:15It went from Pop to Steve Kerr, because Steve Kerr was in the Spoh position now.

02:22And then it'll go from Steve Kerr to Spoh.

02:25But like, that's a look, right?

02:27I'm not reaching.

02:28No.

02:29He's like-

02:30That's scary.

02:31Yeah.

02:32Like, if that look had words, them words would not be friendly.

02:35He's like, Joel, like you're acting like he just, like, all right.

02:39He dunked over four featherweights from the UFC division.

02:43Like, what are you doing?

02:45Just dunked over Jose Aldo, and you're acting like he did something special.

02:49He's just annoyed by him.

02:51I don't know.

02:52They're trying, like, they're all like, oh, we're here for Embiid,

02:56because, you know, the French are mad at him.

02:58Not really.

03:01By the way, did you also see, speaking of somebody who everybody hates,

03:05this is insane, Leroy.

03:07How does this man get everybody to hate his guts?

03:10And of course, I'm referring to the other center everybody hates,

03:13Rudy Gobert.

03:14Yeah.

03:15Did you see he made up a surgery?

03:18He played four minutes for the French team.

03:21He made up that he had finger surgery, and the French coach is like,

03:25nah, I just wanted a different look.

03:27I wanted to go small, Wemby at the center.

03:29Oh.

03:31That's not going small.

03:33Well, I mean, you know.

03:34What?

03:35It's not going small, but it's just get Rudy Gobert the hell off the court.

03:39I don't understand how a guy makes so much money,

03:42and everywhere he goes, nobody likes him, and he keeps winning awards.

03:45I don't know.

03:46It's weird.

03:47Pity?

03:48No.

03:51You know what that is?

03:52Stat line.

03:54Yeah.

03:55That's it.

03:57Because I don't think you go into a game with Rudy Gobert,

04:01and you're afraid of what Rudy Gobert is going to do to you.

04:03I will say, though, like I've thought a lot of times,

04:05is Rudy Gobert just disliked because of the French thing?

04:08And apparently not, because even his own country can't stand him.

04:11Yeah.

04:12Even his own coach is like, eh.

04:15At a certain point, man, not everyone could be wrong.

04:18So you know what you should have?

04:20A one-on-one basketball game with Embiid and Rudy Gobert sitting in court

04:27in France.

04:28Who would get the most booing?

04:31I'm going to guess Embiid, because they really seem to hate him.

04:35Because Gobert is at least French?

04:37Yeah.

04:40But they don't like him because he didn't play for the French.

04:44Yeah.

04:45That's what it is.

04:46They don't think he stinks.

04:47They're just like, hey, man, you got to play Rudy Gobert.

04:51There's a lot of players that could have played for different countries.

04:56Looks like Spoh wanted to send him off to France.

04:58He's like, oh, enough of this guy.

05:00Sick of Joel Embiid.

05:03Well, I haven't seen a look like that from Spoh,

05:06especially not with a 30-plus point win.

05:10Who's acting like they're killing Brazil?

05:12It looks like they're down 30.

05:13And he's just like, shut up, Joel Embiid.

05:17I am sick of his ass.

05:20Man, Spoh.

05:23He's disgusted with him.

05:26Absolutely.

05:28Why were you so mad at Joel?

05:30Yeah.

05:31That has to be a question for sure.

05:34He's going to be like, that's just narrative.

05:37That's out there.

05:38No, no, no, no, no.

05:40That's some bull.

05:41I seen them eyes.

05:42I haven't seen them eyes in a long time.

05:44Especially when your team's winning by 30-plus.

05:47I'm very familiar with those eyes.

05:49Steve Kerr gave them the look, too.

05:50If you show the picture, look at Steve Kerr.

05:53I'm seeing Steve Kerr, but Steve Kerr's like, meh.

05:56What's going on over there?

05:57Spoh's genuinely like, ugh.

05:59I see what's going on, and I hate it.

06:03They're the only two people not watching the basketball game.

06:06They're looking at dumb, dumb, dumb M.B.

06:08Look.

06:09Look at the fans.

06:10No fans are looking over here.

06:12It was a crazy play.

06:13It was a crazy play.

06:14It was some monster stuff from Anthony Davis,

06:17but they're just so annoyed by Joel M.B.

06:19and his Joel M.B. act.

06:21Jfig said it great.

06:23That's the look I gave to screen when Tobin said, Dolly Finn.

06:27That's the look I gave to screen.
