Welcome back to another episode of Smallball with Kenny Beach, Jim. I'm so excited to be here

with y'all. The NBA is always going to get you something to talk about. Before we get into it,

I'm going to remind you to leave a like on the episode. Subscribe to the channel. Give us five stars.

If you're listening to this on audio, we also have more shows on the network of this,

of course, a small ball, and you're watching it, and I appreciate you. But we also have other shows

like Numbers on the Board, where it's the four of us. We also have teed up with Pierre and Jereson.

And maybe I'm biased here, but I think Pierre just dropped his best episode of his young show.

He had his dad on, who is the reason why me and P. Love Basketball.

Growing up, I was so lucky to have three great positive black male influences in my life,

and they all did their own part to kind of mold me to the person I am today. We have my dad

who taught me about hard work when he was driving over the road for 12 to

13 hours a day and coming in and still being a phenomenal dad. We had our Uncle Nuki,

may he rest in peace that made me strive to learn more about different topics. He always had

school of education at the top of mind. And then we had Ty, who was all about basketball, baby.

So Ty went on to Pea Show and, you know, end up being a great conversation about old versus new, ended up getting

emotional towards the end. So if you just want to see a father and his son bond over the game of

basketball and tell you there's no better place than Pierre's show, and he's got another

special guest coming on next week. I've been really thoroughly enjoying Pierre's show. And he's got another special guest

coming on next week. I've been really thoroughly enjoying Pierre's show. So please go tune

into that. Now, in today's episode, I want to talk about the Dallas map to start off with.

First of all, let me talk to talk about Kyrie. Kyrie Irvin went down with an injury,

playing a game against the Sacramento Kings. I'm watching this game live because I've been watching so much Kings basketball because it feels like I'm watching last year's Bulls with no stakes for me. You feel you? You know, last year's Bulls would be fun if you didn't care about lottery odds or you didn't care about the future of the organization. That's kind of the way I feel about the Kings. Like I get to see DeMarter Rose and take over a quarter or see Zach Levine drop one of the most efficient 40-point games ever. But I have no stakes. Whether they win or lose, I'm walking out okay. So I'm watching the Sacramento Kings play against the Mavericks. And Carrie Irvin goes down. And when Carrie Irvin went down, you know, I try my heart. It's not to overreact because I watch so much basketball. Did you see people go to the locker room? You see people go down. You see people tweak ankles. And more likely than not, it's not something significant. This one immediately felt different. At the group chat, because as I was watching these games, the boys were recording a different video, so they weren't locked into basketball that night.
