Nightcap Hour 2: Nightcap’s BIG3 RECAP + Will Embiid HOLD Sixers BACK?! + Are Warriors FUMBLING Steph Curry?!

**Joe Johnson** (0:01)
Ayyy, y'all been keeping up with the BIG3?

**Josh Smith** (0:03)
Yeah.

**Joe Johnson** (0:04)
Yeah, we gon do a little BIG3.

**Josh Smith** (0:06)
Y'all been squabblin up, y'all been squabblin up in that jam.

**Joe Johnson** (0:09)
Yeah, man, Detroit beat Chicago, 52-49. Y'all see Nas out here doin his thing. You know, he had a game, went over Montreal when they played Montreal, average in 36 a game.

**Jeff Teague** (0:23)
Yeah, he goin crazy, he goin crazy.

**Joe Johnson** (0:26)
And man, he probably ain't played like three games, but hell, 36 is 36 Yeah. They may average in 36 I seen they just posted the MVP votin and it's like him beat, I think Jeremy Pargo in there. And it might be like one more person, but it's gon be hard to beat that Chicago team. They got too many veteran guys, meaning guys who done played in the league. You got him, you got Amir Johnson, you got Barbossa.
Who else they got on that damn team? They got a nice squad.

**Jeff Teague** (0:55)
They're still fast, bruh.

**Joe Johnson** (0:56)
Yeah, yeah. We got a clip, we got a clip playing right now.
Of the triplets and the amps. Oh, they got Body Bag over there. I like Body Bag, Teague. I know you know a little something about Body Bag.

**Jeff Teague** (1:11)
He was on my team one year. I played in the BIG3, man. He can hoop.

**Joe Johnson** (1:14)
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Yeah, these boys getting to it, man. It's probably going to come down to this. Montreal just hitting ridiculous shots out here, bro.

**Jeff Teague** (1:25)
Yeah, he hoping.

**Joe Johnson** (1:28)
Yeah, I hope the league continue to grow, bro. I ain't going to lie to y'all.
It's very therapeutic for me at this point in stage. You know, in my life, I still love competing, bro. I still love playing. I still love preparing. I still love weight training. I still love getting on the treadmill, running. You know what I mean? I just love being in shape, bro.

**Josh Smith** (1:48)
How you feeling?

**Joe Johnson** (1:49)
Huh?

**Josh Smith** (1:50)
How you feeling?

**Joe Johnson** (1:52)
It's getting, it's getting that smooth. I'm sprinting, running, cutting.
I just ain't, you know, I ain't taking it too fast, bro. I'm taking it easy. You know what I mean?

**Jeff Teague** (2:01)
But I can probably, I can get you on ones right now then.

**Joe Johnson** (2:04)
You can get me on ones right now, Teague?

**Jeff Teague** (2:06)
Probably.

**Joe Johnson** (2:08)
Nah.

**Jeff Teague** (2:08)
I know you're supposed to play Ocho. Yeah, I'm going to let you play him first.

**Joe Johnson** (2:13)
I'm going to walk the dog on Ocho. You hear me?
Yeah, I'm going to walk the dog on Ocho. Oh, you say it's going to be different over there with you?

**Jeff Teague** (2:23)
Yeah, it'll be a little different, bro.

**Joe Johnson** (2:24)
Y'all have to pull up on y'all, really. I see you, I see you and your little brother, you know, y'all be in the gym playing pickup and all that. You know, I'm going to have to come down there and see what y'all got going down over there in Indiana.

**Jeff Teague** (2:36)
Yeah, we be hoping.

**Joe Johnson** (2:37)
Yeah, yeah. You got, you got other teams like the Boston team that's got Jeremy Pargo and Deshaun Stevenson. Deshaun had 22 and 8
Pargo had 20 They, since like the first game or two, they done picked it up. They've been playing great. They've been, they've been in the thick of it, bro. At the end of the day, y'all know they're going to start cutting these teams probably by another week or so. If you ain't qualified to make the play out. So I'll be tuned in, man. These boys about to get into it. I think what people don't understand about 3 on 3 or the BIG3 is a lot harder than what it looks like on TV, bro. Y'all both, y'all both played in it. Y'all know you think hell is just half court. I ain't got to be in great shape.

**Josh Smith** (3:25)
That big your physical too, boy.

**Joe Johnson** (3:27)
Man, listen, now it's the most physical game, smooth and ticked up, like, cause you got to understand, the ref ain't gonna call everything, bro. You know, this ain't like- They don't call nothing. They don't. It's physical, bro. It's physical.
But I enjoy it. I enjoy it. Nah, it's good. You see, ay, ay, ay. I thought Jordan was going to put his stamp on it this year, man. I thought he was going to go for the MVP, but they hadn't, they got off to a decent start, but they been in slow motion, they didn't send.
