Brandon Jennings tried his hardest to get that “eraser head“ joke over lol bless his heart 😂 i almost thought he was gonna say it for a 3rd time
lmao and that shit was terrible. Hes a goofy
😂😂
It wasn’t terrible people just don’t know what he’s referring to
@@littman.benji__8761 which means it’s terrible lol
Brandon is dumb and unfunny....bro is really just stealing checks at this point lol
Finals MVP not in the Olympics is crazyyyy
In the great words of Katt Williams..."Shouldn't have been talking sh*t". This is a business! He could've went about that Nike situation differently.
@@hitemhard4272Facts 💯💯
Iggy and lebron didn’t get picked in 2016 were you crying then ???
@@hitemhard4272how exactly? He absolutely said the right thing.
@@Newportnews98You mean when Lebron didn't want to play.

This is easily the best conversation I've heard on this show. The Nike/Adidas talk especially.

The Nike/Adidas conversation deserves a Deeep Dive!
A doc will come out at least it should
Rashad Mccants Im glad he get's it because I lot of people dont. Keep educating these young brothers because they dont know! More than BASKETBALL!
when rashad isnt trolling all the time he actually has some of the best takes on the show in my opinion you can tell he's smart
the fact that he will be honest whether i agree or not is why he is still my favorite unc player ever as a unc fan. he has always been all real.
He spot on
young and old, its alotta stupid blind muthafuckas out here
💯💯💯💯
It’s very clear why Jaylen Brown isn’t on team USA. Because he supports Palestine, he supported Kyrie, and he stood up to Nike and called them out because they said ethically. They couldn’t align with Kyrie any longer, and Jaylen Brown tweeted about them, saying when did Kyrie actually care about ethics which is very true
@burnedpotato4374 Jaylen Is a Also a Black Muslim like Kyrie we onkw team usa politics
Talked bad about Nike😅
You don’t even know what you’re talking about and 72 ppl liked this smh
@@Kashgrity8facts.
It has nothing to do with no dam palestine at all. Jaylen like Kyrie push black empowerment and black empowerment is whyte folks kryptonite.
Mccants was on point with the backstory with the Jaylen Brown narrative
Super on point
Jaylen brown youngest ever teach at Harvard an M.i.t
Example media is litterly devil
Caucasian dont go they Mark beast system not for Agenda they want they make up stuff about you use control over media Kyrie Irving spoke freedom of speech in America millions died for us to have that
Rich Caucasian aka Europeans control system Team Usa own by Nike players need wake up stop signing to Nike sell player image,likeness,use same formula Jordan sold his image like record label when sign Artist own there masters which is there Music Nike do same exact thing buy there image so if its another Lebron sign to shoe deal he great Nike sign him create shoes sell shoes Jordan brand $4b in revenue Jordan sold his self to Nike for Money 💰 Nike sold his image to people how advertise use same structure Athletes dont sign nike would went out business 😂😂😂😂
Jalen brown want to be a black panther but he is Muslim and Islam = 1st reason of slavery of black people in history
This is a own goal
He is hypocrite , brown is a clown

He be right a lot of times but ppl just love Gilbert 😂😂 mccants be right like 70% of the time
Y’all forgot Jaylen played in the big 3 event. I know silver ain’t like that.
He was a free agent when he did.
@@hans9264meaning ?
@@hans9264 jb has never been a free agent in the nba he has always signed extensions
Big facts!
LeBron also went to watch a BIG 3 game courtside but I guess they handed him immunity 😂
Jaylen Brown is very similar to Kyrie Irving which is why he isn’t on Team USA. They both, to an extent share the same views. This year he has been more vocal as he ever been. Definitely deserved a spot
If Nike had pull them Caitlyn would have been on the women’s team. Nike would have made more money off her. Brown was an afterthought on the team
Instead of you getting more vocal, choose your battles. You should be able to sit with what ever decisions that come with you being vocal. Though he rich, he still a player, you do write checks, you still have a boss at the end of the day. I'm not advocating for what happened but just know when you get to the yapping, it may come with consequences and they they come don't comment, just stand your ground and roll with the punches
Yes. And notice the same guys that don't like Nike, that complains about everything, wants to be part of the same thing they're complaining about. lol
Bronny got snubbed by team USA not Jaylen Brown. Team USA would not be struggling if Bronny was out there playing for them. Anyone who disrespects Bronny and King James does not deserve to be on a basketball court
@@edfa3706so you think Jrue Holiday & Derrick White were thought of before Jaylen Brown? 🥴🤨🤦🏽♂️
Rashad broke it down 💯

This was a very interesting conversation, i didnt know sneaker politics had such an influence on player selection for certain teams. I totally understand why Jaylen got the snub, because they dont want to give a brother like him, with so much intellect and who will call out B.S. a bigger platform to drop thought provoking ideas. Brothers like Jaylen Brown are a threat to the status quo and i wouldn't be surprised if they send a female to try and trip him up in some way or try to involve him in some sort of scandal that gives his image & reputation a severe hit. The brother is very smart so i hope hes very cautious out there.

Nah I’m playin, he’s not the only one who didn’t make it: dame, maxey, trae, kawhi, pg, brunson, ja, etc.. it’s a hard roster to crack, sorry 😣
Especially on a global stage hell no he could’ve won the regular season MVP & scored 100 points he still would’ve been snubbed
Shaq & AI need to sign Brown to Reebok
He shud sign with kyrie china trashed shoes 😂😂😂
Facts
Rashad...why to make an insightful, intellectually honest argument. Great job, good suff!!. More of these takes, less of that other stuff -- I feel like a 15th man, when you were a lottery pick.
Tru
As Blacks We Got to STAND UP FOR JAYLEN BROWNN🖤💪🏾
Facts
He's a professor @ Harvard. Turned down NASA. He's highly intelligent and He's black. The NBA will never promote that.
And he's pro black.
People still believe he turned down NASA 😂
He’s not charismatic
They rather push ghetto ass CANTman
@@NebraskaPoliceDepartmentJordan wasn’t as charismatic as you think but the media made you believe he was right?
Don't forget playing in the Big 3
That too
Adidas fumbling Jordan and Lebron is INSANE!
They didn’t fumble Lebron, the dude was never going there.
Adidas can't just compete as simple as that. Nike is connected with everything, Bron get to become billionaire athletes because of Nike.

And Kobe

I love how yall finally opened up about wtf really going on w Jaylen brown
Yall see how the NBA did Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf in his prime! Rashad know what’s up! Bow down or get out the leauge!
It’s cause Brown speaks his mind too much. They basically saying “shut up and dribble” f them
Y'all want it both ways. You wanna say what you want but then want to be part of the same thing you're criticizing.

KD done missed 4 games but they send Kawhi home who hadn’t even played yet 😂 USA is a joke!
the guy who hasn’t been healthy for the last 3 years in a row got sent home? so shocking
@@zyxtrrKD ain’t healthy either
Get off your knees they don’t need Jaylen
@@zyxtrrhe should have never been invited then right?
They sent Kawhi back because the Clippers wanted him to prepare for next season.
Remember Jordan draped the American Flag over the Reebok logo on the Warmup Suits during the 92 medal ceremony.

Guys your audio is not as tight as before. Have a talk with your sound engineer.
“They picked eraser head” joke fell flatter than bro’s career
Chiilllll😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@frankielymon1148he said it twice thinking someone was gonna laugh
It wasn't a joke. It was a childish insult made by a grown man.
definitely but what’s funny he said it twice like it was gone hit 😂
I’ve been telling ppl about this about why Brown was snubbed. He thinks and speaks his mind and they don’t like it. Same thing with Kyrie. If you don’t fall in line, you’re out.
McCantd has his moments. He connected the dots precisely 😂
The silver-lining with Rashad is that he’s not afraid.
He's Muslim... He has more in line with Kyrie than the image their trying to build of the team. They hate anybody different from everybody else
💯
Jennings sound like that kid trying to get a world in, but doesn't know when he's talking about
They don’t want Jaylen around all of the leagues top talent talking about how he negotiates his own contracts.
I was wondering why Dame wasn’t on the team. Wow
😂 they ain’t give my boy no giggles

His Black walkstreet plan is why they don’t want to elevate him further. He won’t shut up and dribble.
The other stars on the Olympic team should have sat out if Brown wasn’t on the team. No fucking solidarity!

Shoe brands beefing like it’s the streets is hilarious
I truly enjoyed this conversation!! Very insightful... players being controlled by sponsors certainly jeopardizes the integrity of the sport altogether. honestly, it's par for the course in our society...but that doesn't mean it has to always be. 😎 keep fighting for what's right!!
Haliburton over Brown is crazy…That’s the only thing I’m confused about. Kyrie would have been nice as well…
Kyrie is injured
@@SSJRome Has nothing to do with injuries.
@@hakshustletv he literally had surgery for a broken hand lol
We know why Kai ain't on the team be real. Hali made sense because he's a passer
Halliburton is their best true pg. Brown not on the team is crazy, he better than booker, I’d take his offense over holiday’s defense, and it’s a couple other players I’d take him over
Remember Gill this is my ideas...I want to see the first high profile kid to wear one Adidas and one Nike on each foot...meaning wear mix match shoes and don't accept a shoe contact unless they both make you a signature shoe at the same time and sign a contract with both Adidas and Nike...you'll make history and y'all don't say they can't do it, money can make damn near anything happen, look at Bron Bron. And whoever make this deal happen I just want 2% of the deal.
I'm sorry I'm taking that Nike deal,you get a signature collection you good for life ( Jordan, Dion, Barkley, Griffey, LeBron, KD etc)no other brand can do that.
@@AkademikBurner-v8p Reebok with A.I.? Adidas with Messi?
@@AkademikBurner-v8p D Wade with his Chinese brand?
@@DamianAntonio4126 man Reebok got back with Iverson a few years ago. He literally was in court talking about I can't afford a cheese burger. And that new deal isn't big anyway. Besides the 1st Iverson no one wears the other one's besides ice from jpb.
@@DamianAntonio4126 Messi and Wade shoes don't sell no where near the one's I mentioned. Messi still playing also. When you got a Nike signature line you payed for ever. Jordan sells more sneakers then all of adidas. That's a part of Nike . You see
Thank you McCants. Let them know the truth behind the disrespect. Brown is a high-key genius. Very intelligent and articulate. When he sided with Kyrie Nike corporate had it out for him and so did the owner of the Nets. If there is ANYBODY you want on team USA, as the face of the nation, it's the damn MVP of the NBA finals. They are eff'n with what they can control. They are "trying" to embarrass him. I would have newfound respect for Tatum if he left the team in solidarity with his running mate.
Yeah but knowing JB he prolly told em not to.
@@HomerunsamSOSA knowing Tatum there’s not even A chance of that happening so it wouldn’t even be A question…
@@rell4219 agreed.
Great conversation

Is this related to jaylen browns lecture on panopticism? I think I get the hint. Or am I wrong.
Good convo
Nike is a billionaire company because of four NBA players (Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Mr. Durant (Kevin), and Kyrie Irving). The post Kyrie Irving posted was not enough to cancel his Nike sneakers contract because before the post Shaquille O'Neal showed the actual movie at his theater in Florida for months.
Loud and wrong
@@TheBirdman25fya You're the only one loud and wrong! Nike has an annual revenue report please review it from the beginning, and ask Shaquille O'Neal about past movies at his theater.
Tyrese Haliburton or Devin Booker over Jaylen Brown? this is a no brainer man..Jaylen gives you also 3's atletism solid defender.
They dont want him to win more than he already did
Don’t ever forget that they made Kyrie do a checklist and get on his knees to apologize for posting a video link. JJ reddick said a slur towards Asian people and the NBA swept it under the rug, gave a bs apology, was never covered by the media, & had to do nothing.
What did JJ say
@@clutch7548 he said the N word for Asians - ch**ks
Jaylen Brown even got snubbed by his other teammate for the cover of NBA 2k25 😅, Brown can’t catch a break.
McCants speaking all facts
I can’t wait to hear y’all talk about what Joel said about Bron
When they lost against GSW, ESPN analysts kept saying Boston needs to break up JT & JB.........
They should stop the shoe companies from sponsoring the Olympic teams.
McCants was the only one speaking facts!
realest convo about the business of basketball (from Olympics to McDonald's All American) that I've heard. What they're describing is a corporatocracy - where corporations have increasing sway over matters that compromises the integrity of said matter. US politics and gov't is the most evident example of that
4:38 Mccants finally with a fire take 🔥. Thats true! We should be supporting Jaylen more bc he’s like us man and he’s for us 💯
Hate to admit it but Stephen A. might not be lying about what his source said🤔❓
Most likely.
What the source say
Not Brunson, Jimmy , PG , Fox, buh yeah white was far from what I expected
Maybe Butler and PG didnt want to go. And Derrick White is a better defender than Brunson and Fox so hes a good role player
But Brown should be there
they need to give the olympic team to somebody with backbone grant hill aint it
I appreciate Rashad with the complete backstory with Jaylen defending Kyrie. Well said.
I agree . Picking up his teammate was a slap in the face. Then grant hill coming out saying it was Nike call . Seem like they trying to prove a point
4:34 Steve Adams is a Genius
McCants hit that shit right on the head man
Rashad might troll a lot but he be droppin gems when hes being serious
The fact that team USA is bought and owned by Nike is actually disgusting. Let's not take the shoe companies out of it, just take their decision making completely off the table.
Big up Gil with the Manchester United top. If u know you know.
Jaylen Brown will continue to be disrespected until he leaves Boston
He’s not one of these soft players that’s gonna leave because of the disrespect he knows he’s good and the city of Boston got his back !
He will continue being disrespected as because he is trying to make changes to a sad world. More people need to stand with him.
He never should have disrespected the GOAT and future GOAT. If Jaylen Brown would have been honest and given Bronny his flowers, maybe he would have a chance at team USA but he put the nail in his coffin when he was on camera capping about Bronny
@@Christo_Trismegistusi allways defend bronny but he was saying the truth no hate jb is real one
@@micahjohnson138 he was out of pocket
Mccant thank you for your take it was beautiful 🤞🏾
You stand for equality or what’s right and the machine will come for you.
How Brandon tried that joke twice was crazy work 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dope segment. Hopefully Gil will do a reaction to this clip on his personal livestream. This is a subject that that doesn’t get talked abt enough. Wat we’re seeing in Jalen Brown is exposing a lot of conflict in the moneymaking part of the sport. Brings up a few questions for me: how has the star player and the players association affected the league, and when did that shift start to begin…? I saw somewhere that Billy Hunter was working on creating a bank with the player’s association. Is it true that Kobe was shopping his shoe, and was potentially taking the mamba brand away from Nike? And is it true that whatever his next shoe move was, it was going to be owned by the player’s association. Again, hopefully we can get a reaction piece on an upcoming livestream - as a fan of the league, a true hooper and now a basketball dad. Keep doin ya thing. 💪🏿💪🏿
Neither does the Kyrie snub
I'm glad Rashad is on here, he told the truth with the Jalen Brown, Kyrie situation. Jalen also support, played for The Big 3 and the NBA is beefing with them.
9:23 Simeon High School built different
Jordan said it best.. “Politicians buy sneakers too” 🤷🏾♂️
HS kids shouldn't even set the McDonald's All American game as a goal or measuring stick after they selected Bronny as a McDonald's All American because they clearly sold out and picked a name over talent and loss all credibility
It was funny reading comments on different social media sites talking about why JB was not selected for the team, so many brain dead comments 🤣🤣
It is refreshing to hear the people with actual behind the scene info speak on the situation, give such great insight on how the mega corps actually operate
Rashad is the realest he keeps it 💯💯💯💯
Tell you what, JB made great use of his spare time! Him and Taco Fall made history for themselves. How often do nba players make pilgrimages together? 😊
The all star game should be Nike vs adidas. Or Nike vs everyone else. Or a mini game tournament between all the companies. Winner gets to sponsor the Olympics.
Brandon standing on business 🎯🎯
Thank you guys for sneaking such an important conversation into the back half of this clip. Free our kids…
Brandon Jennings-They pick a eraser head..
Everyone else-😑
It’s straight political they don’t want anyone speaking up against the “stars” reminds me of Germany hosting back in the day.. 👀
Nike even doing KD dirty now after that Olympics add lol
They hate him cause of that kyrie move 🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾
to pick not 1, NOT 2 , BUT 3 of his teammates over him is krazy work
The host should sit in the odd ball chair but whatever best b-ball convo on the internet.
Man I'm so old now I don't even notice OR pay attention to what brand shoes these players are wearing 😂. This just seems so petty 😂.
I am on Jaylen Brown side but at the same time I also am sceptical as to why Nike USA basketball are leaving him off. If you think about it he will Nike shoes and block the logo which is very disrespectful to any brand and no brand would want their players disrespecting them on a global scale at the Olympics in such a way and if they can’t get past that as an issue, then Jaylen becomes the problem which he clearly is at some level
Let’s not forget that he went to the big 3 allstar game TWICE, after the nba tried everything in their power stamp it out, as proven by ice cube
if you look at offense AND defense, picking curry over him or anyone else is where i knew that they dont care about picking the best for the tournament. the only reason he is there is to pad his international stats for his hall of fame resume and it is obvious.
so stupid🤣 Curry is still an elite point guard… THAT is obvious
You gonna play Jalen Brown at point guard just because of defense? Stfu
They have a lot of players that do what brown does. Picking up a lockdown defender isn’t a horrible idea.
Every player on team usa u can start a franchise with....WHO TF IS DERRICK WHITE😂😂😂 brown should sue at this point lmaoo
😂😅😂😅😅😅
White is a glue guy, does the dirty work. Tbh it's five better players than brown that could've played.
embiid is atrocious. has had loaded roster around him but underperforms past game 82. nobody with an iq above 40 wants to "start a franchise" with a soft, injury prone regular season tryhard who is solely dependent on ref whistle.
Yesterdays game showed why they picked White. He attempted 1 shot, had 0 points, but still greatly impacted the game with defense and playmaking. He doesn’t take away from anyone around him. He finished with the highest +/- of any bench player.
@@SuperCarson81 u dont need glue when u building with METAL.
JB supports Palestine also
the days of "oh theyre going to win gold" HAS BEEN OVER. How many times do we have to go through this?
