00:00What do you think about the foul-baiting?

00:03Like, SGA's game, he's incredible at it, but he gets guys in the air,

00:09gets them to commit fouls, and it seemed like he got every call

00:13late in that game.

00:14Well, you know what he does?

00:15He doesn't complain all the time.

00:18When Anthony ever stood over him, listen, bro,

00:23you're not putting your jug in front of no dude and staying over no dude.

00:27That's disrespectful.

00:28I think legitimately Anthony Edwards has to chill with the junk.

00:31Like, his junk is part of the conversation all the time.

00:35The man never said a word.

00:36SGA never said a word.

00:38All he did was come back, step into you, step back,

00:41and bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

00:43He talked with his game, and that's the whole thing about it.

00:47Listen, bro, I was one of the biggest trash talkers out there.

00:50But you know what?

00:51You answer people by running through their asses.

00:54You answer people by scoring on them,

00:57not taking them yard.

00:59That's how you answer them and shut them the hell up.

01:01But you can't do all that talking and get yourself out of your game.

01:04Oh, no, I was about to say, JP, I don't think there's foul baiting.

01:12When you learn how to play basketball at the lowest level,

01:17whether it's reg league.

01:20Yeah, I mean, I get you.

01:22You come control, hand up.

01:24I think some of it when you, when you, a guy jumps in the air

01:29and you jump into him, if he jumps straight up and you jump forward,

01:33I think the foul should be on the offensive player.

01:36That's the one that initiated the contact.

01:38But if you're in the air and now you're in the air,

01:41you're impeding me from going forward.

01:43No, but you're going, you're finna pull up a three.

01:47I'm inside the line and you jump into me.

01:50That's not impeding you.

01:52I can lean to my shot.

01:53I think that's something the NBA ain't got to fix.

01:55But I think they're, they got to do something.

01:57The foul baiter is, is James Harden.
