You're looking great in red. Break down the outfit a little bit, tell me what you got going on.
Um you know, I'm wearing Adrian Black, you know, my guy, um hooked us up for me. The shame my mom gave me 45, T-So watch.
Now see you're dressing fresh, you got the YSL. Tell me about your fit here.
Well, it's a friend of mine back home. She does a tremendous job of dressing me and uh we went with a little little cream color with the black trim, uh black side. I wanted to go with the the the black undershirt, but I thought it was too much, so we just kept it light with the the white shirt.
And Wallace, a legend. Tell me about your outfit that you're wearing right now.
I mean, I don't know, man. I don't get dressed. I just put on clothes.
Now, Young Hollywood, we created our own award. So I'm gonna give you categories and a couple names, you give me your guy, right? Best ankle breaker. We got Chris Paul, James Harden, or Kyrie Irving.
You can't go wrong. They all can break ankles. I think right now Kyrie is into breaking ankles a little bit more than the rest, but they can do it just as good.
Kyrie. For sure.
Tell me why.
He's just so consistent. He has the ball on a string. You know, my guy CP is definitely up there too, but Kyrie, man, he's on a different level.
Oh, man. You got the best ball handlers in our league. Um, I'll go with uh James just because he probably had the the craziest move this year.
James Harden just for that one move on Wesley Johnson.
it might get your move, but I think on a night in night out basis, I got to go Kyrie.
I'm going Kyrie. Him playing us, he turned his back around, bounced the ball, and grabbed it with his opposite hand, and then shot a jump shot. A turnaround jumper. I mean, I I'm going with Kyrie Irving.
I've seen him break, it might have been against Milwaukee, like he uh did a move and did a spin move through a trap and it was pretty cool.
Biggest troll on and off the court. Draymond Green, Joel Embiid, or Lance Stephenson.
Easily Joe Embiid, that's what I was telling you. Easily. Especially after what he just said, easily. He won.
Oh, man. Draymond Green by far. Yeah, he got it. He know, he got that dog in him, so.
Jojo. Joel Embiid. Without a doubt.
Draymond Green definitely. On and off, yeah. Definitely.
Is he is he prankster? Is he giving you a hard time?
He's not really a prankster, he's just just a troll. Yeah, he's definitely a troll.
Joel Embiid. That's not even a question.
Joel Embiid.
This is a tough. What's the lead right now? Ah, it's Joel.
Joel's leading?
I'm gonna go Lance. That's what I was saying. Lance.
Your guy.
That's my man, Lance. Make 'em dance, Lance.
Joel Embiid, I'm pretty sure he's on the list.
Human posterizer. We actually have you as our first guy, Donovan Mitchell, next to LeBron James or Russell West. Go with this.
Bron has more years in, but I definitely got to go with myself. I think Donovan has a way of posterizing you because you think you can get up with him and stay there and block his stuff. And then you wind up on the on the poster. So I'll go Donovan Mitchell.
Oh, I mean, those there's three good ones. You know, you got the dunk champion and you got uh, you got a Russell Westbrook with his aggressive nature, but you know, I I watched LeBron this year and LeBron caught a lot of bodies this year. You know, he put a lot of guys on posters this year. This year was his year. If he was ever going to win it, it's got to be this year.
Whose Russell?
Brodie.
Brodie. Which which one he had? We know them Joe, I mean, no, Maker.
Oh, yeah. Oh, no that LeBron one was nasty. Yeah, LeBron's go LeBron though. Yeah. That went on uh, what's his name from the Blazers? On uh Nurkic.
Nurkic. That was that was nasty.
I'm gonna give it to LeBron. For sure LeBron, yeah.
LeBron.
What body? What one where he where he did on in Portland against Portland? That was crazy.
Yeah. I'm going LeBron.
LeBron.
Is there is there one this season that stands out?
Yeah, the one against Portland. That was pretty ugly.
Human posterizer, I'm going LeBron. He caught a lot of bodies this year.
Everyone's saying caught a lot of bodies, there one that sticks out?
Yeah, he caught uh, the one on Nurkic, I think it was. Like cuz Nurkic is not a uh uh light person, like he's a heavy guy and he just all force right through him. So, yeah, it's pretty impressive.
