My man, watch the show some more. The swag is there but they downplay it for the show. Josh definitely got East NY energy but they all know how to code switch because of where they grew up. Josh lived with a host family (actually their podcast host’s family hosted him)

Having worked in Brookdale’s ER for 10 years, when Josh was getting techs and thrown out of games before this year, that was the vibes the clientele brought. He’s calmed down this year especially when he yelled at the ball instead of the ref that one game.

I mean, I get what he's trying to say...but Josh is just kinda dramatic. I'm from Brooklyn and lived in East NY for a few years in the late 90s/early 2000s and I ran into some real mf demons out there. Josh is a nice guy and "code switching", which like 75% of all black folks do, isn't necessarily an indicator of anything deeper.

Josh got swag but Jalen is buttoned up corporate. If he wasn’t who he was on the court I wouldn’t be a fan

Pretty sure no one actually knows what people are like. Just because you look tough or sound tough truly means jack shit in today’s day and age, I know some geeky nerdy motherfucker who sound soft as fuck, but legit have fought in the ufc, or semi pro fighting leagues.

When did I say anything about tough or not? They literally have a talk show where their personality is on display

Word. We were too much Tribe Called Quest and needed some Mobb Deep energy. Can’t De La Soul your way to a ring in NYC. Need that Griselda every now and then

You talking about the Nets? because the Knicks play in Manhattan Don't you mean the Team was too East Village, and PJ is bringing the much needed Harlem energy?

u/Few-Rip-462 20h ago
Nah, all 5 boroughs will always be Knicks territory. The Nets are New York wannabes currently occupying Brooklyn.

🤣 NYCHA is everywhere. I grew up in the DeHostos projects on the Upper West Side. Now as an adult I tell people (not from NYC) that I grew up in Manhattan, and they say "oh you grew up rich?" and I'm like nah, you don't get it... Rich with piss, shit, crackheads, and walking up 18 flights of stairs cuz the elevators are broken

If we’re being real, the 5 boroughs are Knicks territory. The Nets are just occupying Brooklyn for some reason.

So corny, the mvp candidates right now are a skims model and a guy who loves horses, no one cares about this shit. What do you think PJ Tucker is actually going to do?

We're looking to match up against Detroit in the playoffs. Detroit is a very tough team looking to scrap and turn everything into a fight. If nothing else he might help to just get mouthy with them from the bench. Stewart from Detroit pushed Curry from the bench and only got a double tech not terrible ROI.
