    Magic said Mike was mad because the media was saying Clyde was the MVP because he shot 3s. Mike told Magic I'm gonna get him. He was talking about Clyde.
  • When Kel was talking about rappers having their own cartoons, it made me think of Andre 3000 having his own cartoon back then on Cartoon Network called “Class of 3000”! Let’s not forget about that! I loved Class of 3000! It was one of my favorite shows ever!❤️😁

    Part of Larry's back issue came from shoveling crush rocks to make his mom a driveway. What a legend!! Man could hang with the best of them.
