Transcript

00:00Have you seen the story Leroy about the Charlotte Hornets?

00:06Hey

00:11Cheap bastards

00:13So the Hornets got in some hot water

00:17because they

00:19Did a skit in the arena where they gave a ps5 to a kid and

00:27Then when they got off camera

00:30Took it away. Give him a jersey

00:32And everybody's like what?

00:35So clearly the kid ended up with the ps5. Oh, of course. Yeah, the Hornets put out a statement

00:42It said during last night's game

00:44there was an on-court skit that missed the mark the skit included a bad included bad decision-making and

00:51Poor communication simply put we turned the ball over and we apologize

00:57We have reached out to the family and are committed to not only making it right but exceeding expectations

01:02We will be providing the fan with a ps5 that should have been taken home last night along with the VIP

01:08experience to a future game our goal is and will remain to elevate the guest experience for every person that enters the Spectrum Center and

01:17To show our fans how much we appreciate their relentless support

01:21Unless you get caught and don't have to then you take the ps5 back

01:25It's a ps5 your franchise is worth 2 billion and you took a ps5 back a

01:32Ps5 dude

01:35Do you think there's a look it is $500, but yeah, okay

01:43That's crazy

01:45If I was lamello ball, I would be embarrassed, but I'm like you guys I'll get him a PS

01:49Like one of the players or personnel wanted a ps5 bad and they wanted it for themselves pop you like that's Christmas gift

01:58Give it to as a gift. That's messed up. Like they just gave away Grant Williams ps5

02:03Grant Williams, maybe Mikhail not Mikhail miles bridges

02:09Brandon Miller's know

02:11Everybody probably had a ps5 in their locker. I don't think you want to take Brandon this guy

02:17This guy

02:20Is it really either way it doesn't matter you like it's it's a drop in the bucket for a team

02:29The horn is just sell those sell for Michael Jordan. Hey

02:34Story about being charged for socks

02:36Leroy did I not tell you the story of being charged for socks?

02:42Can't give him a ps5 and nobody made you are a

02:46requirement of the sport Leroy if they wanted the contest to be for an autographed lamello ball jersey

02:53Then just make it a lamello ball jersey and instead

02:56They decided we're gonna put a ps5 with Santa Hornet and they took it from the kid and it got over 4 million views

03:04on Twitter

03:05Which is more fans than you've had there all year

03:12I will say hey, they better take pictures of this kid on this experience and that experience better be the best experience ever

03:18Do the heat have the million?

03:21The heat have an impossible promotion that they did one of these games where I think it was Robin Hood was given away

03:28300 K and

03:29You have to make a layup a free throw a three and a half court shot in 24 seconds. It's impossible

03:38It's about you can't do that

03:40You got it the first two immediately you got it the layup in the free throw you messed up with the free throw you're done

03:45You're done because they've done other ones were like for the cruise, but they give you 30

03:51You got it those first two and then you cannot miss in your first two attempts at the three to run to half court to

03:57Try to

04:01Yeah, you're the only one honestly you probably could miss was the layup because the rebounds too long on the three

04:08You're screwed right

04:11And by the way, I think so, I think it's only one ball and by the way, you know

04:16If you hit that half-court shot

04:17they're gonna investigate to see if you had any type of like toe on the line not even toward a line if

04:24Basketball history if you played in some type of

04:28Yeah, USBL G League it shouldn't matter if they randomly picked you oh

04:34No, they've done that to somebody before they've done that like they a player somebody a fan one and then they they did the

04:42Research and they found out the person was like, you know

04:45he had a scholarship and stuff like that and

04:47they try to take the way because they were like

04:49Oh, no, this person's like a professional and it was like no he won the money. You gotta give it to him

04:55Don't do don't do don't run promotions. You're not trying to give up give away the prize

05:00They gotta let this kid run the point

05:02With mellow, it's gonna be his VIP experience catch a lob from mellow

05:07Here's the thing the ps5 is probably more work

05:09It's probably worth more than the tickets or a season tickets to the to the hornet does a hornets

05:14Oh, I bet I could get to I get but you probably get courtside for for for a ps5 price at a Hornets game

05:22Court side. Yeah, I don't know for a Hornets game. Pull it up. I'll look I'll take a look

05:28There's no way that any of his less than 2,500 a

05:33Ticket. All right. I'll take a look. You're crazy. It's a Hornets game though, dude. What about Hornets pistons?

05:41You can make a Hornets. Who's the worst team?

05:46The worst team right now in the league is the Washington Wizards. Oh, yeah

05:52Washington Wizards right now are 3 and 21

05:56Go Charlotte horns against Washington Wizards Wizards vs. Pels. I can't get a ps5 price. Nope

06:03Not me. You gotta give I don't think you can get it for $9.99

06:07You can't get it nowhere in the league for a ps5 price. Yeah, you can know you get

06:14799 yes, you can. No, you can't. I think you can there's some crappy teams on the Mormons

06:20Mormons

06:21Mormons giving you a at least 699 for some courts. I'd see

06:26699 and a vote says oops. We can't find the page you're looking for. Yes, you can

06:31No, we can't find the price

06:34Hornets who they all perfect. Oh, no, they're at the Wizards. Can I go at the Wizards?

06:41No, cuz they got all the politicians there. What's

06:45All that money's there. Let's see

06:47All right, the next home game is Monday they're hosting the Rockets

06:52Let's see court side

06:55I'm by courtside based on this vivid thing. All right, so

06:59Inner circle is court side NBA ticket tickets

07:03The Atlanta Hawks are in the bottom half of the table when it comes to cheapest courts are tickets

07:07They can go anywhere from two to three hundred dollars all the way up to up to twenty five hundred dollars

07:12For a primetime matchup against a big team

07:14For a primetime matchup against a big team

07:17That's the Atlanta Hawks and they're on the bottom half and that let and Charlotte's worse than Atlanta

07:21So if they're telling me two hundred three hundred dollars can go

07:25uh for courtside tickets

07:27Then if the Washington Wizards play the Charlotte Hornets, that might be

07:31$80. I mean right behind the floor. Yeah, i'm getting like four hundred dollars

07:36I'm trying to find floor. I can't imagine you're telling me there's gonna be an upcharge of a thousand dollars to be on the

07:41not for that type of game now if it's like a

07:45Notable team like, you know when the Lakers came a couple of weeks ago

07:48Toby we know that the tickets were up like you could tell of course if it was i'm talking about the worst tickets though

07:53but the worst if it's like

07:55a bad team

07:57The tickets are going down because they know they can't sell those tickets

07:59They're not gonna purple shirt guy look like he could roll like that. No way dude

08:03Purple shirt guy was probably getting those for 200 a piece

08:06Oh from in toronto. No

08:09Hornets yelling at d wade. Oh, yeah, that is

08:15I'm telling you courtside tickets don't sell for less than a grand i'm seeing a low here

08:20$800 so about the same price as a ps5

08:24You're going by yourself though

08:26Yeah, i'm going by myself

08:28You didn't say I gotta get two tickets

08:31So you're going to sit courtside by yourself? Oh, why not? You're definitely gonna get some action

08:38You never know who's gonna show up

08:41Might be the mj's of the game might be sitting next to beyonce
