some shit? The Snowtime Lakers? Yeah,

the Snowtime Lakers.

Yeah, that motherfucker.

And he is the real deal.

That motherfucker Reeves, man, I like him, man.

He's an aggressive breed.

You know, I see he's taking a little step back with Luke out there, which he's supposed to do.

So, Max, what have you liked so much about Philly right now? Max, who's at 29-4-5? Everybody

What's up, Mike?

Mike Snell.

Yeah, I can give you some good advice.

Oh, that didn't have the whole thing where he walks up to him and introduces himself.

Yeah, introduce the Mad Max and Charlie Sheen.

We gonna welcome our homeboy, Mad Max, Vernon Maxwell, on the show.

Well, let me ask you this, 'cause we, we didn't get into it too much when I talked about it, uh, before with Jaylen Brown, but him going to Philadelphia is interesting, but my question is, well, one, we don't know how much Embiid is gonna play, but how does the ball sharing work out with all three of those guys in there?

Well, I'm sa- I'm, I'm sure they gonna figure that part out.

That's got to be figured out.

I mean, them motherfuckers, all them motherfuckers been playing for a little, a little while.

You know what I mean? Once they get out there on the floor, they gonna feel it and see.

You know, Maxie gotta stay being Maxie because if he change, his shit gonna look strange.

So he gotta continue being himself.

Like, he shouldn't have to be the only one doing the heavy himself.

Is this him thinking or is this management thinking?

I mean, just the way the management treated the motherfucker, man.

I mean, the management, they, I mean, no respect.

You know what I mean? So I mean, they ready for him to go.

You know what I mean? So like you said, it's new ownership, so I mean...

And I get it, you know what I mean? They got AR, but shit, I, I, I mean, I mean, there's some people been saying some shit about him too.

I mean, I think his ass gotta go too.

Great season.

Mm-hmm.

You know, knowing what you, doing some shit you wasn't supposed to do.

So but that part right there, man, with Florida, man, we was just always outside and always playing rough, rough football, you know?

You gotta be-

All that shit was a hobby.

I wasn't, you know, but all that shit was hobbies.

But yeah.

But I knew about him.

[exhales] Tough.

That was crazy, man.

That was a crazy loss, but I mean, we got to, you got to ...

I mean, not we.

They had the lead by two points, and they passing the ball around like it's a fucking hot potato.

Like it, like motherfuckers scared to go to the free throw line and close the game out, man.

Hold the ball, man.

Mm-hmm

Um, what was your take on it, Max?

Bullshit.

I mean, I respect the man got 83.

83 is 83, and I get it.

I mean, but the way he got it, man, is, is, it's like, it's not, it's like not, it's like fake news.

You know what I mean? Because I saw the game, and towards the end it got really, like, sketchy.

It, it was really, like, fucked up the way that...

What hap- what, what happened over there, Max?

When you think Chris Paul, what do you think of?

First of all, guy was tough as nails.

I mean, I mean, uh, tough as nails.

Um-... uh, Chris Paul.

When I think about Chris Paul, the man, a God-fearing man, a, a, a family man, you know, first, and, you know, and, um, as a basketball player, man, I, I got to know his mom and dad, and my son played for us, um, up under CP3, Tristen Maxwell, and I mean, so, uh, I see where he got it from, you know, the tenaciousness and the way he played and, and, and just to be a pro the way he was, night in and night out.

I mean, one of the guys that never, ever really...

You, you really never s- heard nothing really bad come out about Chris Paul.

For all these teams that are, uh, eliminated from the playoffs, there need to be some kind of point system, that the more you win on the back half of the season, the better chance you have in the lottery, so.

Mm-hmm.

When I see it on the film after, after I go through the altercation with somebody, and I see it, I be like, "All right, yeah, I, I..." But the motherfuckers that I know who's supposed to be there, then I know they're gonna be there.

But yeah, but I expect those people to do what they doing, because like Jack said, they ain't come from where I came from.

Max?

Well, shit, the man just said it, Matt.

I can't say it no better than what the [laughing] fuck he just said.

Shit.

Thank you, Jack.

[laughing]

So, but no, but no, they gotta...

It's, it's, it starts at the top, and once you got that bad shit at the top, man, you're gonna get just bad shit at the bottom down there with them kids that playing ball, trying to do what they really wanna do, and-... and have a good livelihood.

But man, but you gotta blow that shit up, man.

They gotta, they, they got a lot of value now.

They can, they can- I mean, just, just, just tank the fucking season, man.

The season's over, okay?

Mm-hmm

What was your whole outlook on it?

That's a whole different.

Oh, Lord, that's a different motherfucking story there now.

Come on now.

I know the story about that one.

My mama always told me that when you play against that motherfucker right there now, you know, that motherfucker right there, you got to get down.

in that motherfucking bed.

How long was you in the league before and you had to go through some shit before you said, you know what, I'm going to have to chill? Or did you just wild your whole motherfucking career?

(laughs)

... shit, I used to have arguments with Rudy T and all kind of motherfucking coaches then.

You know, sometimes, man, I, I, I commend the motherfucker.

You know, he got up and, and walked away and...

But at least he came back, you know what I mean? But, um, but, um, I get it, man.

I...

You know, you...

Uh, does Trae Young need a fresh start?

(laughing)

There's too many other bad motherfucking young motherfucking quarterbacks out here now.

You see what this shit going on? You see that boy from Charlotte out here throwing that motherfucking around with the Patriots? You heard? You see a lot of bad motherfuckers coming around.

I'm just telling you now, there's some badass young quarterbacks out here.

And I love Mahomes to death.

You know what I mean? That's my brother.

I love him.

... and, and principle.

But what do you guys think Draymond's importance to this era, uh, of basketball is?

Well, I just said Swiss army knife-type motherfucker.

You know, do everything.

You know, whatever's needed for that night, you know, he's gonna give it to you.

I mean, I love what, I mean, for his athletic ability and, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, it's amazing what he's done.

You know what I mean? I mean, but like you said, man, perfect situation, perfect team.

'Cause I think if he went somewhere else, he wouldn't have been able to have those opportunities to do what he was doing early on in his career.

Absolutely not.

Yeah.

Shit, I, I'm 6'4.

I ain't never wore over 100 and fucking 95 pound.

Mm-hmm.

So in my life.

At my biggest weight, I was 194, so...

And this motherfucker was 218 and 6'6" and jumping everywhere.

[laughs] In H-Town?

I don't know if you remember, but the four-wheeler story.

No, that was the...

That was another person, um...

But, uh, we...

Me and him and Frank used to have some nights at Frank's house, and-

Damn.

Oh, man.

Yeah, I didn't want to bring them day- damn days back up on you, but God damn.

Aw, man, y'all on this

bullshit, man.

Y'all on this bullshit.

Hey, man, listen, man.

Listen, everybody, I mean, I'm sure everybody know, well, when we played against the motherfuckers, I mean, they say our championships don't count because Mike wasn't playing and shit.

He went and tried that dumbass shit, tried his baseball and shit.

Nigga, you can't just go and play baseball, nigga, and just say, I'm going to start hitting 100 miles an hour.

Available on Plus and Pro plans.

Easy.

Wins, yeah, easy.

Uh, Cade's the man, I mean, you see what he's doing in preseason.

I mean, he's letting everybody know goddamn right now, I'm getting ready to take over.

I'm gonna be one of these motherfuckers y'all gonna be talking about now.

But the one time he had trouble was against Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee, who were able to be just as big, just as...

Well, Goddamn, now.

Wha- wha- well, are we talking about over...

But just rehab until you find your situation that's good for you, then rehab with the team.

Do it on his own.

Rehab on his own and get himself back together, and you know, it's gonna be a whole year before he come back.

Shit, motherfucker ain't coming back next year.

So I mean, he's out for a whole fucking year.

So, um, but it just, we gotta concentrate on himself, man, and, and get himself back together.

And then, you know, once he get himself back pretty much healthy, then he can concentrate on where he want to go and try to put himself in a good situation.

Is it time to rebuild?

KD, thoughts on this series?

I love this series.

I think that, uh, it's very balanced.

I think both teams have great benches.

You know, uh, Minnesota plays three g- great guys off the bench, you know, in Walker Alexander, uh, Nas Reed, and then DiVincenzo, right? And so they have depth, right? So I don't think it's just a, a mismatch from the depth standpoint.

Um, though Oklahoma City, their guys, uh, do have depth, they can impact the game, especially on the defensive end with Caruso, who's a proven champion, and those young guys as well, man.

They come in and they play their role.

It's heavy.

(laughs)

I thought...

I was like, "Shit, this shit gonna cost me some money." I ain't- I ain't ready to do that, you know.

I got- I'm- I'm... you know, I'm trying to stay alive.

So...

But then I finally got into it and, um...

And then one thing led to another.

So, uh, Max, what did you think about what you saw? And then also, do you have a favorite Pop story being out there in Texas?

What are your thoughts on them?

Yeah, they played well on Friday when I was there.

I mean, shit, I couldn't...

I was like, damn, Shay act like he ain't wanna play on Friday with no...

But, uh, those, those guys were locking up.

Like I say, they long, they athletic.

Um, I keep saying, man, and, and I, I keep going back to this, man.

(laughs)

You got any stories with Kobe?

Oh, man.

Yeah, man.

Kobe was shit.

Uh, huh, when uh, shit, I hate to tell this motherfucking story.

God bless you, Kobe, man.

(laughs) Goddamn, Kobe, man.

They need a, a, s-, uh, uh, a, a solidified vet?

(laughing)

We was in Seattle. Why every damn thing happen in Seattle? Goddamn, fuck Seattle. But, we was in Seattle, we was, I was mad. I was having a bad first half and shit, we was playing Gary and them, and, um, Shawn Kemp and all them motherfuckers, they had a squad over there in that motherfucker. Uh, Double Deuces, Ricky Pierce, they had all, they had a squad over there. Dana Barros, they had a squad, they just had a bunch of motherfuckers can play. So, Derek McKee, uh, then, goddamn, I'm having a bad first half. I'm like, damn, you know how long that fucking walk is from Seattle to the locker room.

Yeah.

So I'm mad, and when I'm getting mad, I just spit. (imitates spitting sounds) I'm walking, I'm spitting, and the niggas, uh, Sam sitting up and Robert beside me, "Man, it's gonna be all right, Max. Come on, man, you're gonna be okay." "Man, fuck this shit. Man, these niggas ain't giving me the ball, these nigga won't pass the ball, man, fuck this shit." So Dream behind me, and Dream like, "Maxie, what the fuck is you doing? That shit's not professional. Don't do that shit. Stop that shit." I was like, "Dream, man, fuck that shit, man, I'm tired of you, too."

they ain't ever tried to make it right? Like what's your relationship now with them?

Nah, well, God bless him.

He's dead.

But this is what happened on draft day.

I done did all this.

My junior, what? My junior year, I should have left.

That's when the NBA was calling for me.

You know what I'm saying? I'm the
