MILWAUKEE BUCKS IN A MIDLIFE CRISIS; RAPTORS STILL TRYING TO FIND THEMSELVES; KNICKS NEED TO PROPOSE

moment more. Now, it’s time to uh get closer into the life of one Danny Green. As a man who now has two children, I think you are well aware of the stages of life uh for us humans. And what we wanted to do is kind of compare them to the stages of life for teams around the NBA. This is our unique way to preview the NBA season. So, stage of life, Danny, Milwaukee Bucks. Let’s do it. I’mma run through these pretty fairly quickly because I don’t think they get into it that deep, but for the Milwaukee Bucks, I’ve never had one of these before, but I can imagine it’s kind of wild and a frenzy. And I don’t know what they got going on. But to me, I think they’re in a midlife crisis stage. Like, they’re trying to figure out where they going to be young, when they’re going to be old. Like, they accept what they are. They’re trying to figure out how to keep Yiannis. this coaching staff, who they’re paying, they’re just in a frenzy, bro. So, I’m just going to put them in the midlife crisis stage. And I don’t know if Giannis ends stays there, ends there, ends the season in Milwaukee. A lot of us, a lot of people are betting he’s not talking about trades to the Knicks. We’re seeing what teams have good trade value and pieces and where he should go. So, Milwaukeeke’s in shambles right now. um for the next the Milwaukee Bucks like the Milwaukee Bucks getting Miles Turner and still deciding to uh tra still getting for the Milwaukee Bucks. Let me run that back. For the Milwaukee Bucks to uh basically still have Damen Lillard on their books, right? Uh, and then get Miles Turner is like is like a 50-year-old man who has a house, wife, kids, has it all. Just like, “Yo, let me go get this new BMW.” It’s like, “Yo, there was no need to there’s no need to do this. You have if you’re if you’re walking out of a mar if you’re walking out of a marriage, right, Danny? If you’re walking out of a marriage, you’re not about to go buy a new luxury car, right? That’s the last thing you should be if you if you if if if a man and his wife or a wife and his husband about to call it quits, the last thing you want to go do is purchase a house. Wait until the papers are finalized before you start doing something crazy like that. That’s When I saw that move, I’m like, did y’all confirmation? Did y’all Yeah, exactly. A midlife crisis. Did y’all get confirmation that Giannis even wants to stick around? You want to keep the beauty? You want to keep the bride, but the bride don’t care what you bring in the house no more. It’s over. Like, I don’t get it. It’s a wrap, bro. I don’t get it. It’s a wrap. Trying to save the marriage with a bunch of bunch of material items. Knock it off. All right. All right. Let’s go to the Toronto Raptors. They’re They’re in college right now, bro. They’re trying to find themselves. They’re trying to find out who they are, what they want to major in. We don’t know. They have a lot of great talent, a lot of good pieces, right? Guys that are similar to each other. We don’t know how they’re going to fit well just yet. We haven’t seen enough of them playing, but they do have some good pieces. There’s so many avenues they can go to major in life, but I think they’re trying to become adults and find themselves. They’re in the stage of being older teens, young adults, and trying to come become a man. So, for them, we got to see how they they stack up together with that group. Uh but ultimately I put them in the college phase where they’re just having fun young but at the same time trying to figure out what they want to be in life and what you know what kind of uh adulthood that they want. And it feels like it feels like maybe they’re all in college and they all are kind of like haven’t declared their major yet. Like we don’t really know what RJ Barrett is. We don’t really know what Scotty Barnes is. you don’t really know, frankly, who uh Brandon Ingram is. And it’s it’s not even like they’re in college and they’re all in the same fraternity. Danny, it feels like I don’t know how familiar our audience is with, you know, the black uh fraternities, but like some are Kappas, some are alphas, some are some are Q dogs. Yeah. They all like these guys all don’t fit with each other. Like it’s not even like you can say, “Oh, they’re all alphas or they’re all Q’s or they’re all uh you know, kappas or whatever they might be, so they could move in unison.” This seems like a disjointed team of talented young men of talented young men, but they do seem disjointed. All right, let’s go. Circle of life. Knicks, they’re in now. They only have been together for a couple years, but um this is the analogy. They’re in the 10-year relationship phase with the city and the fans, and it’s make or break time. Are we getting married or what? They need to make something happen quick and and do a grand proposal because if not, she’s leaving, bro. She’s she’s not sticking around. There’s a time and moments where they’re either going to propose or you hit a standstill or she’s out the door. She’s waited long enough. If she’s dated you for 10 12 years and you have not even thought about proposing, you’re in a you’re in a bad situation, my friend. So, I compare the Knicks in a long-term engagement. They’re engaged for a long time and no plans of of making a wedding. There’s no wedding plans in sight. I I think you’re I think that’s more like that’s more like the Cavaliers, bro. I think the the Knicks the Knicks I would say this. I would say this. They’re like they’re the Knicks fans are still in in a honeymoon phase. Yo, you know, here we go. Oh, my bad. My bad. The Knicks are we’re past the infatuation phase of dating. You know, the first three months it’s all lovey and dovey. You know, you just want to do everything with each other. And now, now we find out, is this team for real? It wasn’t just fun. Two, three years and you start, you move in. You finally move in together. Yeah. We’re moving in now. We’re moving in. We’re moving in together. And And now what do we what do we what do we what are we right now? Are we going to make or break? Are we going to Are we going to last? Are we for real? So, yeah, that’s a good that’s maybe about I still think it they haven’t had a championship in so long and now but it’s not about it’s not about the other Knicks teams. It’s about this Knicks team. But I understand what you’re saying. All right, let’s keep moving. All right, I understand it’s only been two three years, but we’re waiting for a ring and y’all got two years to get this damn proposal done. You don’t ain’t gonna be no wedding. Ain’t gonna be no wedding. Indiana Pacers. Indiana Pacers. They’re the young adult in the dating phase. They’re trying to figure out what what they It’s kind of similar to the College of Toronto. They They’re trying to bounce back obviously some injuries. They’re out of They’re out of college though. They’re out of They know they know who they are. They have a solid job. You know what I’m saying? They know who they are. They’re just trying to find that match that can make them their their home a household. You know what I’m saying? you know, who can I settle down and have kids with? Who can I, you know, long-term relationship with? They have everything else in place. They have the job, you know, they’re in shape, they’re fit, they have a good single lifestyle, careers in line, careers, careers in line, you know, now they’re just looking for a mate or a partner that they can, you know, solidify their lifestyle, their household with. So, yeah, they’re in the dating phase trying to figure out, you know, who do we do we want to go marry rich? Do we want to marry somebody that that has a great job? Do we want somebody just to take home stay home and take care of the kids? Or, you know, obviously ultimately it’s just really who is compatible with me that I can be and share a space with, you know, for a long term. How do we stay in this this this phase of life of being they’re living their best life right now as a individ like a single man? How do I still live my best life finding a significant other? I would say for Pacers fans, it almost feels like you’re you’re about to be emotionally unavailable. at least for a year. You know what I’m saying? No Tyrese, no Tyrese Hallebert and Miles Turner is going. You just gota you gota shut they got to shut down emotions for a year. There might be. So you could say this might be a breakup year. It might be, you know, a breakup after like a good two year. They got a break up. Maybe not a breakup, but a break. Pause. Might go just go just go vacation for a year. Take a She went abroad to study abroad. She went to study abroad somewhere. So like I got a little break, you know, you might be might get right eventually, but like just take some time off, shut it down emotionally and see where you at a year from now. That’s that’s
