Welcome to Atlanta, an O-T-E arena downtown.
The undefeated Phoenix Towers in the New York sky, the sky,
sky high, 2-0, and the towers, as we mentioned,
the only other undefeated team in the LBA.
This guy's undefeated over the course of his life,
the biggest streamer in the world,
and one of the newest pro basketball sensations,
Kai Sennett, beautiful arena here.
the OTE facility and we'd like to welcome you inside.
The millions streaming around the world,
we've got a capacity crowd in the house tonight.
Pete Souza alongside my partner, King McClure, King.
Kai Sanat is a guy who's made his living sitting down,
streaming in front of a camera.
For the past two nights,
he's done it on his feet, playing pro basketball.
How do you think he's going to be able to channel
his energy into tonight's game?
Well, Pete, when you look at it, his first game,
his debut was solid at best.
but the second game he dominated.
That is what we expected from a guy who was undervalued,
a guy who didn't go in and draft as high as he should have.
So I think tonight is going to be even better.
He's more comfortable.
He's locked in tonight.
We will see an even better game than what we saw yesterday.
And we have got major, major news,
literally just off the wire, a trade.
Little RT is actually heading to New York.
He is in the arena right now.
ski mask and all there he is like he's ready to take something well the New
York sky took him earlier today from Atlanta he was called up from the lower
case G League because he is the ultimate G sent to New York City for cash
considerations and here he is tonight the question King will he be able to
coexist with the great Kaisen at 100% and the way that he's looking he
He looks locked in.
He matched locked in black forces.
That is not a kid that I want to mess with.
He looks like he is ready to make an instant impact
from the tip.
Well, we talked also about Kaisenette
and how he was ready to shake up the locker room.
And maybe there was a little bit of disappointment
around him.
Let's take a listen.
There he is.
You see it, Kain.
Now, Dan Levitar waited on this, right?
I mean, the sports world is locked and focused
Kaisenette, an Amino Hassan, a former NBA front office guy, and the great Dan
Lebatard weighed in today on the magnitude of this trade and what's going on in
New York. We have breaking news and this is gonna be a big scandal out of the
LBA. The reporting is that Kaisenette is planning on facilitating a trade but
it can't be true. Dan, it upsets me to no end. I love basketball. My whole
life is created around this sport. But when I hear about this kind of manipulation, this
kind of spitting in the face of integrity of the sport I love and for a league that I think
is great and up and coming in the LBA, it makes me see. I see how troubled you are.
You're gurgling with guys like Halo Epps and Randy Jones Jr. They come out there, they
They lace them up and you got guys like Kaisa not allegedly doing this type of tomfoolery
manipulating behind the scenes the integrity of the game.
You know they're calling it Kai gate.
They're calling it Kai gate.
This is disgusting to me.
Disgraceful.
At my core I pray to God it's not real.
doesn't want to know what it is that is happening here on Earth with the LBA.
Yeah a story that reminds you maybe of Don King and the world of boxing or
Vince McMahon and the WWE. We've got our own shake-up and as if there weren't
enough distractions going on around Kaisenat and the sky today. Let's get
it over to the third member of our team, Autumn Johnson, with a developing
story from today. What's up Autumn? What's up you guys? Well we all know
the digital world was shaken up today. Iron Mouse has broken the long-standing
Twitch record of Kai's Snap subscribers. Now look, there was a lot of speculation
coming into this game as to if or how this would impact Kai's performance. This game
will tell, after all, an undefeated streak on the line. Back to you guys.
Alright, thanks so much, Autumn. We'll be hearing more from you shortly,
just like we did last night in the light before. And speaking of the nights before,
Let's get a look at the Phoenix Towers and exactly what they did last night.
They continued to steamroll.
That is the spoiler alert, but let's take a look at some of the video and just how they did it.
They have been on fire and I mean that job Williams, one of the big reasons why.
You know, what's interesting about this team, Pete, is they're just so tough.
They're not a high scoring team, but because of their length and their size,
they cause a lot of problems on the defensive end.
So they're not high scoring, but guess what?
You aren't going to score either on these guys.
They use their physicality.
They use their strength.
They're extremely tough.
This is why Kai had to bring in little RT,
because he had to match the physicality of the towers.
When you look at guys like Halo Epps,
I mean, the length at eight years old
can cause a lot of problems.
They will try to pump you from the beginning of the game.
I can't wait to see this physical matchup.
Yeah, you mentioned it.
Constanet really shaking things up.
maybe staying one step ahead with this big-time personnel move.
Let's take a look at some of the work that Kai put in with his team
against the Atlanta Mountains last night, early on it was Camden Orr
and then, woo!
Krodruple fake, it was Kaisenette.
We love the Krodruple fake down low,
but I think what's also interesting is that it's a big three.
When you look at Jody Starlin, you look at Ajani Howe,
when you look at Kaisenette.
However, Johnny and Jody didn't have to have a good game.
They didn't have good games yesterday.
They had very decent, very solid games because Kai carried them.
The first game Kai was carried.
The second game Kai carried the team.
What will it be tonight?
I think if Kai improves, then at the end of the day,
he will once again carry those dudes.
But it needs to be more than just Kai tonight
if they want to beat this very good tower steam.
Yeah, last night we compared Kai
to some of the greats in the NBA.
Got to compare them two to one greats in the WNBA.
You said last night his game thus far reminding you
a little bit of Angel Reese.
Yeah, forget the stat padding.
Forget the getting your own rebounds.
I'm not talking about any of that.
I am talking about the relentless pursuit
of the basketball when it is in the air.
The way that these lady and guy
go after the basketball when it is in the air
better than almost anybody that you will see.
I mean, when the ball is up,
They go opposite side, they're physical,
they use their body on the rebounds.
They are elite level rebounders.
And Kai reminds me a lot of Angel Reese.
That is no shade, they are both great players.
Yeah, how about that quadruple pump thing?
Yeah, the rumor is they actually turned the air conditioning
off in the building here, because the fans from Kai
was just really cool on everybody off.
Take a look here, King.
One, two, three, four.
But he put it.
And what the funniest part about this
is that nobody bit for the pump fake everybody is on the ground nobody believes
that this man is going up like you said earlier it's really just a bicep workout
because nobody is going for this pump fake this pump fake is just extremely
fake you put some fake in pump fake let's talk about real right a lot of you
are watching for kai sanat and kai's reactions let's take a listen to some
of the sounds of the game so far emotions with kai sanat but those
emotions have his team at 2 and 0. Right on top with the Phoenix
towers who they will take on tonight. These are the standings
and this is the playoff picture. Dallas and Atlanta still looking
for their first win but there it is and we're getting set
for the postseason and just so much excitement around the postseason
and you see the regular season schedule there as tonight we are set
to finish it up with a featured match between
The Chowers and Kai Sennett and Lil'RT's now, Skye.
Let's take a listen to what Autumn has to say now.
As she is standing by, that's right, with Lil'RT.
That's right, Lil'RT from the lower case of G-League.
Lil'RT, how do you think you're going to take over tonight?
Through Pro, you guys.
He's looking to take over the entire league back to you.
There is a lot to like about Lil'RT's game,
but there's also a lot of intimidation.
Reminds me, I'm a little bit older,
Rocky three mr. T prediction
The way that he just spoke right there
That is not a guy who I'm going to mess with that's a guy out there. That means straight business
Skeen asking everything
Pants all underneath the shorts and like I said, they're black for city do the black forces
You do not mess with peace. Hey, that is a word to the wise
You got black dude comes up to you with black force in the ski mask
That ain't the one.
That's not the one.
And our little R.T. is not the one tonight.
Kai had to bring him in to match the physicality of the towers.
I like to pick up and get the Kai gate.
I like it.
It has to be more than just Kai.
So little R.T. will provide a loss.
Well, as you are moving through the emotions and the analysis of Kai gate,
still a lot of the basketball world really blown away by this move.
One of those folks as we get set for the postseason,
who was shocked by the way Kai has played and these personal developments are, it is, I should say, Adam Lefko, we had a chance to catch up with him earlier today.
What an exhilarating regular season we just had in the LBA and now we sit on a true precipice of history.
The man-the-myth, the legend, Kai Sinat, cast aside in the draft behind an Uber driver, has somehow taken his team to the playoffs, a playoff berth.
He leads the league in rebounding, but now he faces his toughest task the undefeated seemingly unbeatable
Phoenix towers
The terrible twosome of halo and amine stands in Kai's way. They are nasty
They are physical and there is an 87% chance that they will punch Kai right in the mouth
There's a 56% chance that Kai's own coach wanted to punch him after Kai yelled at him last night
who is actually in charge of this team.
They need to figure that out by tonight or else
they can kiss those championship aspirations goodbye
and the towers are going to cruise.
For Sanat, this is a lifetime of expectations
coming down to one game, an opportunity and expectation
and I believe a destiny.
The entire basketball world playing in
on exactly what is going on with Ty Sanat
We had the postseason. Let's take a look at the breakdown as we head into tonight's
scouting report for the Phoenix Tower. They are up tempo, okay?
Extremely physical tough. They are going to try to set the tone by the physicality from the jump.
They will try to keep Kai off of the glass.
How will the sky react to the physicality of the towers?
Well, earlier today, we mentioned it, just a huge trade.
As you look at the sky scouting report, there's really not much else to look at.
other than Ken Lil' RT gained chemistry with a guy like Jody Stonnes and a superstar like Kain Stenena.
How will Kai be able to respond to the great game that he had yesterday?
He needs more than just him. He needs Jody, needs a Johnny to be able to step up.
Alright, let's get it down to our public address announcer.
An in-arena host here at OTE Arena in Atlanta.
She's one of the best in the country, Brea Janelle.
Association matchup between the Phoenix Towers and the New York for the National Anthem tonight from Miami, Florida
Please welcome Colombian American artist Danica
Capacity crowd millions watching around the world
There is one big reason why wearing the number two tonight
Kites and that and over shoulder to the right our team
We have just gotten word came that he is going to play with the ski mask on
Bringing fear into the eye of your competitor. This is what we love to see
Well, there's the QR code in the upper-hand corner of your screen. You want to come see Kai go ahead
Click on that. We'll be right back after that with the tip-off tickets available
I'm primed now, estimation I'm primed.
The arena in downtown Atlanta and the stars are out tonight.
Two chains, it's set to jump up right now, is Kaisen there.
And Western Mopa is controlled by Johnny Howard in the sky.
Less communication, Jackson able to reel it in.
Jody Stallings controls.
Post pass, flies no good but here's Cal Jackson with the offensive ball.
I like the plan right now.
Dressing this on cupids, getting in the passing lanes.
They're fogging the lane.
There's no one on one.
That's up for Kai.
It's always going to be a double team.
Dirty stallings.
Sets the table, pulls the trigger.
Off the glass, no good.
Another rebound first and that here is we get things started.
Look at this, Johnny Hammer.
King such great vision over the course of his LPA career.
Why would he not have it tonight?
A man Weston Mopla is ready for the challenge.
One-on-one down low, he was going to give by issues.
Guy giving up the basketball, two Howard.
Here's Cal Jackson,
it's he getting his money's worth on that first foul.
Not the Weston Mopas of the ground.
Two chains and thinking the feds might be watching right now.
So some tense moments here at OTP Arena.
Off your screen, Weston Mopas does look to be okay.
It's okay but once again,
The Black Air Force is in the ski mask.
It's not the one to mess with.
He's definitely at the tone now of the aggressiveness
as the game goes forward.
But it's a learning process.
He's going to have to learn.
I don't know if he's done a basketball court before,
but he's going to have to learn how to control
his physicality.
Here's Halo Laps.
Look at that.
After a few colleagues, he is not a,
and so far, the sky have not handled it well.
They two turnovers in about three possessions.
They have to take care of the basketball.
Johnny Howard's playmaking
It's going to have to be on display tonight for this sky team.
Hey, King, it's undeniable.
The buzz and the serenity tonight is powerful.
We're gonna jump in the free-throw!
Because this is probably what we're gonna see
in the championship game.
This is a early free-throw for the championship game.
These are the two best teams in the league.
We're jumping on free-throws!
The three after the misses.
And Johnny Howard drops it to the free-throw.
You're in the free-throw!
It's gonna be even better for them to swim in the free-throw.
That's a great pass.
See that's what I mean from a Johnny Howard.
The pace, the comfortability to be able to dribble the ball up.
Locate the open man, put enough touch on it
to lob it over the defense where the defender couldn't get it.
Such a great pass by Johnny Howard.
That's his use.
Speaking of big leaders, we just saw a little Yachty
as we see Kai spring into the front row,
leaving it all on the floor.
Lights are bright here at O.T.E Arena.
There's a Johnny Howard with some real ghosts
between his legs, looking on abstracts
and off the stars.
He's looking for a second three.
No good heads-up play made by Weston Mopa.
And wants to talk it over with his tower squad,
as there is Kari Howard.
Your thoughts so far on this one,
King five to three, New York.
Bappable, Lynn.
You know what's interesting about this is that
when one has a good game, the other one
doesn't need to necessarily do the same thing.
They feed off of each other really well.
Kai said it the other day.
It's like the Braun James and D-Wade.
They carry each other, they play off of each other so well.
And when one is off, the other one really can pick it up
when the other one leaves off.
They have to be that dynamic,
have to be jelling the night
in order to get this one over the tower.
I'd like to think we are a dynamic trio
on the broadcast booth tonight.
We send it over now to the third member of our team,
Autumn Johnson.
Thanks you guys.
Punga likes yesterday, he just got to learn how to control the ball and move it to his teammates.
His teammates is doing good like he should be good.
Feels like a big time show and it is.
Here's the head for the finish around the rim.
100% like always.
Those layups, their power's team, they have more guys who can actually play and get buckets than they have seen so far.
This team is beat, they go get buckets.
That's the biggest thing, the confidence is through the roof.
Let me see when Kai comes out, how will the sky react on the glass?
And head to Stokes, reels it in over his head.
And a bounce.
RRT, both on the bench right here.
He's hoisted by Prince Calvin.
Oh good, Stokes with the rebound.
Paul goes to the Phoenix Towers who right now trell by just one point with two minutes left in the front.
This is one of the highest level eight slash nine-year-old games that you will ever see when those watching.
By a good look at a three for Alan Langston too strong.
Rip him down to read Kyle Jackson to get a handle on that.
I like what I've seen from Oprah so far.
We've seen them get in the pass lane, get steals.
We've seen them crash the glass.
We've seen them really be active on both ends of the tour.
And then, Orr trying to go coast to coast this level.
Hey, Lil Epps with the foul.
A physical game so far as we see Epps get up off the ground.
That's good, son.
But we knew that from the jump, Pete.
We knew that Kai had to bring reinforcement
to match the physicality of this Cowers team.
It's great defense right there.
He did it with a foul.
Two, three throws coming up for Orr.
Sinaf Jepsen to the game takes out Cal Jackson.
As we listen into Cam, it's very encouraging to his teammates.
Nice look by Cole.
The sky got a piece of it.
Here comes Kai Sinaf.
Racing into the fourth board and dropping it off.
He's coming up to the basketball as he drops it off for Jeff Williams who's fouled.
And that's the right call.
As Johnny Howard tries to come from behind, tries to get the swat on the basketball.
But instead of getting the ball, he got his arm. That is a great call.
But as As Johnny Howard gets older, he has to learn that you can't foul three-point shooters.
Number one, no, no. Do not foul three-point shooters.
You can test all day, but do not foul and give them three shots at the line.
Why is my man, why is he jumping at the free throw though?
Who told him to jump?
Why are you jumping at the free throw?
Where's it changed?
Kai taking 100.
Jop Williams beats his feet for free throws.
Can't think quickly to miss the violation.
Four points for Jop Williams with one steal.
I don't just look at that young man at the free throw line.
after the air ball went high.
It's probably over nine as a free goal line.
And the 22-year-old Sennett giving the business
to the nine-year-old, John Williams.
And Johnny Howard floats into the corner.
Chase Burton, two strong, knocked out of bounds.
All the stallings keeping it alive.
Hey, connect.
Burton, another offensive rebound for the Scott.
High calls for it.
on the court, but he is one of the tougher ones out there.
He plays with such a big part.
He is a pin bull.
One of those bars that you just do not want to see.
It's almost giving Kyle Lowry or Fred Van Fleet that type of guard.
The ones you don't want to go against on the defensive side,
but offensively can shoot the ball
and they always set their teammates up for success.
And Johnny Howard just four feet, three inches tall.
Jody Stallings now at the free throw line
with the big first corner.
Five points, four rebounds and a steal.
Under 20 seconds left, Kyle George Context,
no call off the window.
He's still scoreless tonight.
0.7 seconds left in a first corner
where New York leads 11-9 over Phoenix.
Two undefeated squads.
Alba has been a tremendous down,
not allowing offensive rebounds
and the few that he has allowed,
he's been able to get to that high level.
High has a migraine.
11 to nine.
I got a migraine, bro.
Hopefully we'll get him some Advil,
or something for her to shake it off.
The New York native,
trying to help his hometown team
to another victory and keep him three and O.
Of course, earlier today, the Kenbe Matumba,
the basketball world lost.
such a jovial spirit, such a great man,
such a great basketball player,
second all-time in blocks and NBA history,
and someone who everyone who met him loved them, King.
All right.
He had such an impact on the game, a basketball game.
So sad to see us lose one of the greats.
My condolences go out to him and his whole family.
We wish him nothing but the best,
but so sad to see RP, Kimberma Tumbo.
Kimberma Tumbo passing away earlier
Today at 58 years of age, we'll step aside and be back with you second quarter.
Top three planes up the deck.
He scrambles in the T-Mobile to get that new iPhone 16 Pro on us.
It's a little shimmy, shimmy shape.
What you think, huh?
Like he chasing an ice cream truck.
Ice cream!
He got his iPhone 16 Pro, the first iPhone built for Apple intelligence.
Cus holding it up like a baby line.
Only takes those T-Mobile savings and calls of the day.
Respect.
Now, if T-Mobile.com get the new iPhone 16 Pro on us,
and families can save 20% every month
versus the other big guys.
Man, first couple of times I saw Kaisenat play basketball,
I thought superstar potential,
but now I cannot tell a lie.
Father Time has tapped poor Kaisenat on the shoulder.
He's 22 now, and he just ain't what he used to be.
He's lost half a step of quickness, maybe, I don't know, three or four inches off his
vertical happens to the best of them.
He just got old.
Skip Bayless with quite the take and I'll tell you, in the immediate impact, you couldn't
disagree with Skip Bayless.
So far tonight, at least the fatigue, maybe not a lot of time has caught up the
cop.
It's more so a coach Raymond's game plan.
You can tell that this power team practiced yesterday.
They got together after the game.
They watched film.
They did this count and report.
You can tell it was so in detail
that they are making it tough on top.
A Johnny Howard inside.
John pulling his way to the top.
That's what he's going to have to do because if you
just watch, Coach Raymond is probably
one of the best coaches in this whole LGA Association.
A boxing one on Jolie Stalin.
I love it.
Come out of a timeout with that.
Come out of the corner with that.
Little RTA getting physical again,
but the foul is called on Cal Jackson.
There he is, acquired today earlier in a trade.
It's shocked.
The LBA in the basketball world tonight,
playing just three miles from his home in Bankhead,
the Bankhead section of Atlanta.
He means business.
Of course, we're talking about Little RTA.
First free throw for Mopa's off the mark as his team trails by three comes up well short again.
There is little RT.
It's impact up immediately.
Take a look at this defensive game plan by the towers.
Looking where Mopa is.
Mopa is going wherever Jody Stallings is going.
They are daring the other four players for the sky to shoot the master ball and score.
Anybody can score except Jody Stallings.
I love the game plan and I have to make it tough.
So now, still to make a three in his LPA career.
Oh for one to nine, Count Jackson takes it away from Mopop and is quickly found.
Jackson will shoot too.
You can tell based off the three-point that Kai just shot.
He's getting it higher in the air. He is getting more arc on the basketball.
The other two days he was shooting it straight like a dart.
The higher he gets it, the better of a chance he has to make it.
And right there was probably his first three point attempt that didn't hit the
backboard first.
It hit the rim.
That's a good sign for him.
Well, we can't keep this guy waiting all over now in a bit of
Georgian native, Lil Yachty standing by with Autumn Johnson.
That's right.
The stars are out tonight.
The hottest ticket in the ATL.
Lil Yachty is here with me.
What brings you out today?
I'm just supporting my brother.
Always supporting my brother.
With whatever you do, I'm here to support.
And the energy is so electric, the vibes are immaculate here.
What's your LBA experience like so far?
He sucks, by the way.
He's going terrible hard.
But we're going to support him, whether he's doing good
or doing bad, we're going to be here.
OK, you mentioned it again.
He's fun.
This is sick.
I really, I just, man, I think he is so innovative.
As far as like 5, 10, 3, 8, you know, like, you can say
what you want, you can say it, but like,
you don't know what it's all about.
I just appreciate him taking a time and effort to try things.
Well, breaking news, he ended his streaming career to turn to a professional basketball player.
What was your reaction to all that?
I mean, it took a lot of courage.
And I listened to the team that day.
He should have come out of retirement because this ain't a promising career.
Okay, if you were his coach, what would you tell him?
the ball more. The pitch shots ain't going in.
And what about the other guys out there, the best in that year on?
The kids are going crazy. Number 22, I don't know. He's going crazy. Number 12 is going crazy.
18 is going crazy.
Most of them got highest stats in town.
Yeah, that's all they're doing. They're doing good out there though.
Little Yachty enjoying his time out here.
They make kids make it look bad though.
The big three out there got Kai, Jody, and Ajani holding down Lil Yachty.
Thank you for your time.
ATL's own Lil Yachty, six studio albums, and one awesome interview.
They're throwing on Autumn Johnson.
I know his neck hurt.
Oh, that ice on his neck.
I know his neck hurt.
Jody Stonins cross half court on the ATL.
Letton at O.T.E. Arena.
Kai collects the loose ball, trying to throw him in front of his fans
fans and other celebrities.
Here's a Johnny Howe.
And in pursuit of the basketball from Kai.
Kai got the rebound.
Offensive rebound, kicked out to it,
opened a Johnny Howe.
That is what you need.
Kai's not finishing his layups right now.
So kick it out for you to get teammate
for a better result.
Alan Langston controls and gets it back to
Trent Calvin.
John Pillion's just a smooth score.
Leaving his way into the lane gets tied up,
taken away by Stoinks.
A head down Howard, Howard, slicing to the hole trying to make it four straight and couldn't do it.
Big rebound by Prince Colvin.
Stoins giving him a business.
Draws the foul.
Good kick out right there.
A Johnny Howard knocking it down.
Ben celebration because Kai finally kicked one out instead of trying to shoot a layup.
Well, that's what Lil Yachty said.
He needs to get the ball to his teammates,
and he's been unselfish as he catches his breath here.
Ooh, Lane Jumper off the mark for Logan Osborn.
The Coast Defense.
Halo, a defensive stopper.
Since sets the screen to Johnny Howard.
But as Johnny Howard can get hot, he can get hot quickly.
Mika, he's talking to you guys at home.
Another look.
Che, what I gotta do?
Score, send that score.
Back to the pitch.
Freeze.
Flex your muscles with teammates
Look at this tray right here first off. I love the screen. Look at the pump bait. No, sir
Tray ball Jody Stalin
Remember the name
Dogs has been ice cold
As we get a look at Camden or
Hesitation it's for Jody Ston so these starlings is like that whenever he has the basketball
You need the backside help to be able to slide over if not you are going to get scored on time and time again
Because of Stokes, but it's taken away heads up play but it gets what he wants leading to go back into the basketball
That says coach let me bust down early avalanche here makes some plays. I've only got four points
I want more up on two minutes left to the first half
Oh, that's not the power point.
He plays spirit of defense.
And he's a pit boy.
He is so tough.
He's not afraid to stick his nose in there,
get his hands on the basketballs,
and be able to make those tough plays
that you don't see from kids inside.
Two minutes, Mike.
One is going to be about two minutes and up.
Two minutes and up.
Tawanson working on Mope.
Says he likes to listen to things not like us before games.
He's telling the opponents, you're not like me.
He's getting a little shifty out there, Pete.
You see him with the handle.
You see him with the tight in and out cross.
Getting to where he wants to go, the pace that he plays at.
He is so crafty off the dribble.
Jody Stalin just knows how to put on a show
when the big lights come on.
And that's something you typically
don't see out of an eight-year-old.
Right now, Johnny Howard and Jody Stalin
is combining for 20 points, 10 points a piece,
and 13 rebounds onto the floor in the form of Kyle Stalat.
Once again, he is the chairman of the Pervs tonight.
Point advantage for the Sky.
They have really pulled ahead here
over the course of the second quarter.
Trying to take a piece out of the lead,
and he does it.
Got Williams for three.
They definitely needed that.
They need his scoring.
They need his ability to be able to hit big shots
and knock him down when it matters.
But they need more dreams to get back in this game.
Camdenora, that's going up off the mark.
But there's the net with this 14-3 bound.
Too strong.
Another rebound taken away by the Sky.
Here it is.
Razzled away by Calvin, who goes coast to coast
and comes up short.
15 butters per kilo.
Here he comes with the Sky.
But it's show up for him.
Says a lot about him as a guy.
Joplin, 7 points on the net.
Here's Lil R.T. He's shanted the face mask.
No ski mask.
Good looking kid.
He should probably try that look out more often.
Yeah, and no ski mask.
I don't know if that means he's more about this or what,
but the ski mask was the M.O.
I was kind of feeling it.
It kind of matched with the whole fit.
Too much there as he travels trying to get up
with the basketball.
Floated here in the second quarter
and a huge advantage for the New York sky.
Jody Stalin's in the Johnny Howard.
said that they had to, they had to give their best effort and put forth the scoring effort
that they did the first night and they have done that and that is why they have such a
large lead.
Let's get it over to Autumn Johnson standing by with Kyle.
Thanks so much you guys.
Yes, I have Kyle with me right now and 19 point lead for Sky.
What's allowing you guys to go on a scoring rampage right now?
If we win this game we advance to the championship automatically with the best record in the
whole league, you feel what I'm saying?
So we're just gonna close out, get this win,
so we don't gotta pay them all
and go straight to the championship.
To keep the lead, what are some adjustments
that you wanna see going into the second half?
I gotta make my layups.
It's my goddamn layups.
I don't know how I'm so ass.
Every single time I go for a layup, I miss.
I don't know how.
With eyes on the championship,
only one more half to do it.
What's your message to your team?
Message to my team, just lock in, have fun out there.
Let's go ahead to get this chipped
Let's get this game out of the way first.
Then we can worry about the chip.
As simple as that, you guys.
I'm going to get it back to you.
All right, Autumn Johnson, thank you so much
as we'd like to welcome you to the LBA halftime show.
It is the end of the regular season
as we're getting there right now.
The sky with the commanding advantage
over the Phoenix Tower is your thoughts
on the first half, King.
Well, Jody Starland and the Johnny Howard,
when it comes to scoring the basketball,
they were those dudes.
They were the ones who carried Kai.
I said it while he was on the court.
I'm getting carried.
I'm getting carried.
Not Kai does what he always does.
Rebound's the basketball.
17 boards in the first half.
Extremely impressive.
Looks like he might break his own record.
Right?
Based on he's on pace to break his own record.
However, Jody Stahl is in the Johnny Howard.
Chad, do not forget those two names.
Your thoughts on Lil R.T.
I mean, he broke the internet earlier today
when we announced that trade.
Lil R.T.
huge acquisition so far he is coexisting with Tyson at that maybe that's thanks in
part to the fact that he hasn't had too much of an impact on the floor well
little R.T. has to be comfortable I mean he's not in his normal environment his
normal environment is being on a stage and performing in front of thousands
and thousands a basketball court is not his typical environment it's all about
comfortability the more comfortable that little R.T. gets the better that you
will see him perform and once he gets comfortable he can make a better
impact. Look for him moving forward. Went to your just kind of like that. This first game wasn't great,
but I bet if that's an RT, however, he got better over time. I think RT will get better over time
as well. Halftime here at OTE Arena. Let's take a look at some of the first half action that was
highlighted by Johnny Howard. And you see the excitement of the celebration from both teams
early on. And we saw early on Weston Mopagat in on the ice water in his veins. But boy,
What the answer right stallings again when the lights come on no matter how bright they
are these two young men and as Johnny Howard and oh my goodness as Johnny Howard and Jody
Stallings understand how to put on the show for a crowd no matter how many people are
watching on the channel no matter how many people are in the gym these two young men
know how to get it done and they look good doing it they are fucking getters they are
I don't know if it gets higher level than this speed at this age.
Well now we've got a situation where there are so many big time players on the sky.
We're going to take you to the locker room,
or maybe there's a little bit of controversy and big time trouble.
Here we go.
This is the court, right?
This is the court.
If they shoot, if I was in a team shoot and I get the rebound here, I'm trying to get here.
But if I'm jibbing all the way down and everybody keep calling my name,
I get out of the zone.
out of the zone. So this is what you ought to do. If I get a rebound, even if I see him
in a fast break, going straight down, spread out. Give me some space. You feel me? Go to
the three line. You feel me? Go all town. Let me make it. I can do the little ice-os.
This is what I need you to do. Look, you take your foot down here, and you sit, and you
play. Coach, coach, I want to shoot threes. I want to shoot threes, though. I want to shoot threes.
I'm gonna play with my boy. Listen, listen, listen. That's the play. I want to shoot.
Ball here, screen here, come around, take your big ass down.
All right, but how about this? If one of y'all got the ball, don't worry about me
Let me just, let me just try, let me just try to do all that.
We're trying to win, we're trying to win.
Do all that later.
Right now, this is the place.
Ball here, screen, shooter here.
You take your big ass down here.
That goes for a point.
You don't have to do that.
All right, nothing else, nothing else.
No, RT, why are you laughing like you're not talking to everybody?
I had the cork.
You got almost six pounds.
Talk, y'all are talking to each other.
Say I'm open, ask for the ball.
Right, you told me you want to get the ball, you wide open.
Save it.
Y'all got to look for each other.
Y'all got subs coming in and y'all playing four on five
because y'all don't want pass to get teammate.
Stop y'all beating yourself.
Logan, go pass the ball right back to you.
Drex, go pass the ball right back to you.
They ain't gonna take no shots.
Think, if they open, cut.
Let's play smart.
Let's get this thing back.
I believe you.
I want to say is y'all operating so far away from the goal.
If y'all can get some limber runs,
free throw line extended, it'll help.
Every time y'all get a ball, y'all look down, y'all behind that.
NBA three point line, that's all y'all.
I keep watching them.
They pushing y'all so far out.
Somebody needs to be the prince of me, baby.
Geronimo, dribble, and penetrate to somebody on the side.
So that's important, too, man.
Make the defense close in so y'all can pass to the open man.
And go, go win.
Y'all go win.
This is five points at a time.
Don't look at the score.
Five points at a time.
Play hard, play tough, but most importantly, play tough.
Yeah.
Everybody face the camera, everybody face the camera.
Yo chat, what are we, yo chat,
what can we do better as a team, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Chat, what can we do better as a team, come on, come on.
Chat, what can we do better as a team, chat?
I'm looking at the chat right now.
What can we do better at the team?
Screen, L.A.T., remove you, pass.
Now be honest, I'll give you a lot.
We need you for rebounds.
For real though.
Ball movement, stick to rebounds, I don't wanna,
I want to shoot threes though, I want to shoot threes.
You're not a threat, you're like Chad,
you can not shoot Chad, you're not a threat,
you're like Chad, Chad, you're just better than you first time.
It's Ray, stop saying that in my Chad, bro.
For real, you all the way in, start your own team up,
get your own little kid to enter the league
and face me one on one, how about that?
Where about rebounds?
Don't go up?
Don't go up?
They say basketball is a global game
and so is the Chad, right?
As always, try connecting with folks around the world,
but the issue right now tonight
in Atlanta at OTE Arena is Ken He and the Sky hold on.
Phoenix has to do something to get back in this game, King.
What's the blueprint?
I would say that anybody else except the Johnny Howard
and Jody Stalin has to score the basketball.
I thought that game kind of the boxing one was good.
Eliminate Jody, Jody Stalin's from DNA
would have clean looks at the rim.
However, I left the Johnny Howard wide open.
They were allowing him to score
And that's what led to the stretch of the lead.
He hit the 9-9-0 run by himself.
And the more that you allow him to see the ball go in
like any player, his confidence grows.
But the thing about Johnny Howard is he's already confident
when he steps on the floor.
So if you let his confidence grow,
now all of a sudden it's through the roof
and you're in for a long night.
Same thing with Dodie Starlin.
So you have to take the ball out of those two guys' hands.
I would go triangle in two.
I would deny those two the basket ball,
Play a triangle and force kind of be the score force kind of has to go score 25 this half in order to beat
Kai has to beat you. Well, and we saw two chains in the locker room all hands on deck for the Phoenix towers right now
Did you ever have a monster celebrity like two chains in your locker room at half time?
No
Had to think about it, but no I did not no no no not not not not to change themselves
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Two chains trying to, well the money's always in the way
with two chains, but he's trying to get this guy
out of the way right now for the Phoenix Towers.
And one of the things that he's gotta do
or the Towers have to do is they have to stop
Ajani Howard.
How do you stop Ajani Howard?
You just talked about the fact that you gotta
let other people score besides those two,
but he has been fired, leaving three defenders,
leaving them in his wake,
and then he can knock down shots from the outside.
You can do it all at just, I think four, three.
Yeah, he's four feet, three inches tall.
I would go man to man.
I would go man to man.
I would put length on him.
I'd put a halo-webs on him.
I'd put a mopa on him.
I mean, you put length on him.
You put size on him to disrupt his rhythm.
He's smaller.
He's going to struggle.
The more length that you put on him,
I would go man to man.
I would get out the zone, go man to man.
Go man to man.
Use your length to your advantage.
Play backside help.
Force them to be able to shoot layups
I think if you do that or triangle it to you to triangle it to a go man to man
But there has to be an adjustment by coach Raymond. It's funny. You mentioned rhythm
We know that a Johnny Howard is a great dancer and he has been stressed this stuff tonight
Take a look at the QR code on your screen as we had to break the winner. Remind you come on down to OTE arena
It's time for postseason LDA. That's coming up after this game
But we'll wrap things up. Second half coming here from the ATL, Kaisenat in the sky, trying
to hang on to a big leap in here in the second half. Two chains in the building. We'll be
back.
Top three plays of the day. East Grandma's in a T-Mobile to get that new iPhone 16 Pro
on us. It's a little shimmy, shimmy shape. What you think? Like he chasing an ice cream
truck. Ice cream! He got his iPhone 16 Pro, the first iPhone built for Apple
intelligence. Because holding up like a lady, right?
Only takes those T-Mobile savers and calls of the day. Respect.
Now with T-Mobile.com get the new iPhone 16 Pro on us.

I said it, 30 days, sub up, we're Amazon Prime now.
Estimation might prime.

I'm talking no ads, I'm talking no love or grunt, and also I said it, dirty days.
Sub up with Amazon Prime now.
That's the reason why I cry.
Atlanta, Georgia, the home of the LBA at the OTE arena.
Let's get a little bit of Autumn Johnson.
Thanks you guys I'm here with coach T and he just spoke with you said to your
team you shared to the audience what you said to them.
I don't want them to get those 20-30 rebounds that we got over the last couple of games and then we just got to bring up our intensity a little bit, take smart shots, take our time and slow ourselves down a little bit. Simple as that. Simple as that.
I'm going to throw a little jab at him a little bit, keep him out that paint, that's his strength right there, keeping him in that room, using that paint, going up and getting that ball, we've got to stop all that, so we're going to shut it down.
We're going to shut it down, watch this second half, we're going to shut it down.
You're ready for your first, you guys, back to you.
Oh, Johnson, thank you so much.
Second half-action, halo-ups, making guys miss.
In transition, can't finish.
Jackson grabs the rebound.
Heads up, played by Stokes to look ahead.
A Johnny Howard.
Next fires, for Kaisenak.
Working it up.
19 boys and six points for Kaisenak.
Young ballers in the house.
Not just on the floor, but in the seats.
Henry Todd shown right there by Langston, he can't finish though.
He's hitting Howard, but the pistons are always public.
Fires it inside the stones.
He's just fine.
Do you think he can do the hoop?
Yeah, I love the flex.
You know why?
Because that's a grown man finish.
Eight years old, it don't matter when you finish like that.
That is your fate.
Flex on them all you want to, Jody.
35 to 12, this one has gotten away from the towers.
X makes the rebound, fires it, not to the ground.
Another look. Look at this finish.
That grown man move.
And look at the react. Flicks on him while you want to, young man.
Jody Stons, nine years of age, five feet two inches tall.
And a lot of muscle.
Prince Calvin, who gets triple teamed down to the basket, and is fast.
So, Calvin heads to the free throw line, and here's their go-to guy as we take a look at Kai Senen.
One thing we want to bring up earlier in the broadcast, we shared the news that Kai's long-standing twitch subscriber record was broken today.
Now, he just retired from streaming, but that news has got to make you wonder about his future in the LBA.
Can't imagine it would be long before Kai weighs in.
Calvin, who's been held scoreless, had 15 points in his first game, which is on offensive rebound underneath.
Mopah tied up, and here comes Jackson out of the pack.
Kai calling for it, and gets it. Up ahead with Starings.
Three-ball, no good. Starings with 13 points on the 9-16 there.
R. T.
I'm going back to the coach.
Didn't catch what happened when we find out we'll let you know.
It looked like he rolled his ankle.
I mean, sometimes those low tops will do it for you.
Sometimes the low tops will do it for you
like he rolled his ankle.
But I'm sure a tough kid like R. T.
will be back extremely soon.
An absolute blockbuster trade earlier in the day.
Same as little RT from the low T-League.
We got to get our man some open shoes.
We got to get us some open shoes.
We got to get some Colby's or something.
We just saw him there.
Whatever the situation was, it was rectified.
He went right past into the game.
They said, hey, hang on for one second.
That's not going to work.
It's a great move right there.
He used the pump bank the right way right there.
One dribble, got to where he wanted to go.
Very efficient with his moves now.
Ty is growing.
He is seeing maturation right in front of our eyes.
Jopper Williams controls fires it inside.
Nice pass to Mopa who kicks it.
The ball movement continues.
Langston back out to Jopper Williams.
No good.
Seeing the sky defense be extremely active.
And not allowing paint touches.
They are clogging the way, tricking the gaps,
forcing the towers to shoot threes.
So now it drops it off in the corner.
Tyler, go good.
Ball is knocked out of bounds.
37 to 12.
Sky lead. They'll have the basketball.
5-17 left here in the third quarter.
I'm not dead.
Out of the seed.
Years ago with the viral sensation,
60 miles and of course joined
Kai on his live stream
in November of
2023 just a year ago
And it's now linking back up with the great Tyson at on the basketball court
We're seeing kind finish out of a more efficient way typically we'll take him three tries three four tries to make it now
We're seeing the finish on a second attempt. I like it. We're seeing his game grow
Oh, off the mess, another 20 rebound performance
close to that with the putback.
Muscling his way to the hole.
Jase Burton, no dice.
Let's get it over to Autumn Johnson.
LBA, what's your experience been like so far?
Experience back going kind of through the kids playing hard.
I played both teams, got good confidence.
Today, I know like Kyle having a hard time
doing the ball and the basket.
I don't know what's going on today.
You don't know what's going on today.
What?
Game, like, it's so easy for him to spin on the right,
I think he's gonna get a flush there.
Oh, he's killing it like eight years ago.
We're gonna get his game going a little bit more.
What would you tell him?
Jody.
You're the one with Jody and these two right here,
who are the ones with the work,
on the whole offense,
and you gotta play deep to get him back.
That's what they do.
Jody and Johnny have been going off.
What do you like about their game?
They both like the Splash brothers.
That's like Steph and Clay right there.
That's the next step of Clay, what?
You see what I mean?
You see what I mean?
He made the half of it himself.
Do you think it's mental?
Do you think it's mental?
If so, what's the adjustment?
Wow, the cameras, I think it's him.
I think it's him, that's him.
The lights might be a little too bright, you guys.
Back to you.
Thank you so much, Autumn Johnson.
The lights certainly shining tonight at OTE Arena
and happened over the past three days.
In the LBA, the Little Basketball Association,
that's gets tied up.
He has to be able to learn to control his body whether that comes down to falling when he gets hit, whether that comes to running full speed.
Just being able to control his body better is the next step for him.
Speaking of control, he is at the controls now.
Oh my, oh, oh!
That's a high waist dribble.
Off the mark.
Now you're giving him a little bit of a hand motion to get some arch underneath and you
are coaching him before the game and he seemed like he was taking his feedback but he took
it from the three-point line but mid-range pull-ups are not something that we talked
about and that's a little different.
Oh, behind the back pass, nice into the lane is Mota, he's found, looks like he'll
shoot free throws.
I mean this was a 10-9 game.
I mean, this was a 10-9 game.
They've been outscored 29-3 by the New York Sky,
half the Phoenix Towers.
The defense of the Sky has been on a different level.
Yes, they're scoring the ball offensively
between Ajani and Jody.
However, on the defensive side, this team
has been more locked in than we have seen in the past two
days.
They are paying attention to the small things.
You can tell that Coach Howard really
put an emphasis on defense.
Kind of shouting instructions.
Open, swing from a free throw, man.
Rattles home form.
Knocks down both free throws.
Trimble the lead to 25.
To Jayce Perkins.
Perkins got a good one across half court.
And grabs.
Sobbingly was passing the ball to.
Didn't throw it too hard.
Yesterday we saw him throw it extremely hard.
Look at the touch that he puts on this pass
to deliver it, regardless of the result.
Results no good there.
They're coming to towers.
Job William strong to the whole on merry weather.
Just misses, but more free throw opportunities
coming up for Phoenix with the New York bench.
Calm, cool, and collective right now
as they roll into postseason
and looks like they might do it undefeated
with three minutes left here in the third quarter
and a 25 point advantage.
One of two for the free throw line is Joppa Williams.
Jase Burton fires it ahead.
And the youngster stallings.
It goes through his hands.
The hustle, the grit, the determination right there.
Jase Stallings putting it all on the line.
Knoll Scorer gets three more.
11 points on the night for Joppa Williams.
He leads the Phoenix Towers.
So now he's taking matters into his own hands,
and so his hands can't control the ball anymore.
Oh, Chase Burton is a surgeon.
Look at this three right here, nice move.
A little step back behind the back.
I'm 22, and I'm tried.
That's a tough bucket right there.
Spinning to the hole is Orr off the here, no good.
Watch the noka.
So the last line of defense obstructs the shot.
And now here he comes.
Oh
You want to see the face of determination look no further than the eyes of Tyson that
Or the face of fear of dribbling
You said it nice job by dredge
Got it a little zoom action right there gets himself into position to do just enough
He won't point leave for the sky
Inside a 90 seconds after the third quarter, capacity crowd here at OTE, Alina standing
room only.
That's how it's been all three nights of the LPL.
Oh, that's why the locomotive jumps the brakes and puts it through the basket.
Look at this.
Coast to coast.
Stop on a dime.
Kyle learned how to control his body and look at the reaction.
Now, we can only imagine fatigue as a factor, right?
For a guy who doesn't play basketball
for a living at least not up until this week.
But he has gotten better, fundamental.
He definitely has. He's been working.
On his downtime, he has been trying to get better
and trying to figure out ways in which he can improve his game.
And you can see the result.
Conor leads the team with 14 points.
Glass out with him in his first three in his LPA career.
Also has 22 rebounds.
Stonings missed fires.
Underneath, maybe Jackson got away with the step.
Moppa, who knows how to attack the basket.
You see him do it right there.
Here's Count Jackson.
One on two.
He's got Howard.
Howard.
Perfect.
We've all heard from Johnny Howard, the little pit.
The arena just kind of feels his vibe.
It's the Hezzie right there.
Stop on that time, hesitation, get the defender in the air, rise him up a little bit, drive right by, good floater, he missed it, but it's okay.
Ten points for the opportunity Howard.
Bobby's banging and falling to the floor.
Timothy Spokes, teammates helping Bob and Drexel Cobb.
What did he say?
What a bit of a concern right now.
Chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill.
Bye-bye.
You good?
You a professional, bro.
So Drexel Cotman is attended to by the training staff and gets some support from Kassan Addis.
We can tell you off camera he just gave the thumbs up and he's going to stand in the basketball game.
But the thumbs up tonight, King, goes for the New York Sky.
100% I mean you hate to see injuries but I mean this kid right here, Drexel Cotman is so tough.
He's so, so tough and he's played his tail off, he's played hard, he's gained everything he had.
he had and I'm glad that he's getting, that he's out, that he's
building, he's able to play again.
Trying to beat the buzzer is John Williams, you know, about the
confidence we see.
He wants to be an agent, a sports agent.
Pretty cool.
Tysonette, always cool.
And that's exactly why almost 11 people follow him on
Instagram and he's got 16 million combined YouTube
subscribers. Subscribe to this fourth quarter coming up.
He scrambles in the T-Mobile to get that new iPhone 16 Pro on us.
It's a little shimmy, shimmy, shake.
What you think, Con?
It's like he chasing an ice cream truck.
Ice cream!
He got his iPhone 16 Pro, the first iPhone built for Apple intelligence.
Cous, hold it up like a baby line.
Only takes those T-Mobile savers in cause of the day.
Respect.
Now with T-Mobile.com, we get the new iPhone 16 Pro on us.
And families can save 20% every month versus the other big guys.
Check out my home's top three planes up to date.
He scrambles in the T-Mobile to get that new iPhone 16 Pro on us.
It's a little shimmy, shimmy shape.
What you think, huh?
It's like he chasing an ice cream truck.
Ice cream?
He got his iPhone 16 Pro, the first iPhone built
for Apple intelligence.
Cous, hold it up like a baby line.
Homie takes those T-Mobile savers
and calls it a day.
Respect.

OTE arena and the New York sky and Johnny Howard looking to hang on right now
They've got a 23 point advantage
Jody Stonnes is a reason why but I mean job Williams
We're back to put together a comeback. Both of these teams undefeated right now
But the tower is gonna have to pull a rabbit out of a hat
In order to stay that way
There's six members of the A&P, there's six members of the A&P.
Like how do you best that up?
Johnny Howard drops it off for Stokes.
Check that stones.
That's a great drive and kick, good play.
Screen the outside man, play a two on one on the back side.
Johnny Howard makes the right decision, good result.
Oh, something in front of it is Kyle Jackson.
Jackson, with the kind of steam.
The shoot two free throws.
Look at this makes the right decision.
2 on 1 on the corner as Johnny Howard.
I gather is what the age of 8 so good and facilitating so
good at being able to make right decisions.
That's the other and he only takes.
This has been a spectacle folks.
The LBA still standing room only crowd.
Some folks sitting down right now with New York by 26 points.
So that's a gather.
Jayce Payton, you can hear him talking to Kyle.
Or rolling to the floor.
Oh, nothing is passed by Stein.
Still good.
Stein's up, tracks down the Reaper.
Step back for Stein, no good.
3 out, 4, put back is in, 46 to 18, leads 28 for New York.
Now, looks like he can rest up in the playoffs at this moment.
This is for RJ Raymond, let's get it over to Autumn Judson.
Here with Coach for the sky, and right now, you're the squad right now.
What you guys have been able to put up on the offensive end?
On the offensive end, they're playing really well together.
The big three, Kyle, Johnny and Jody are doing their job.
They're scoring a ball, points and punches,
and they're playing really well off of each other.
Offensively, for sure.
Johnny and Jody are the next stars of this game.
What do you like about their game personally?
Their game has been solid for a couple years now.
Both of those guys, it's just good to have it
on this type of platform where everybody can see it.
But both of those guys can score, pass, dribble,
shoot, all of the good stuff.
Jody is just a big-time gamer.
When the lights come on, he's at his best.
And Johnny is just a gym rat,
always working and developing his game.
Now you guys have stormed through this regular season 2-0 now 3-0 trying to close out this game.
What are you most proud of with this group as you guys were able to take over the LBA and now headed to a championship appearance?
Once again, I'm just proud that they get to do it on this type of stage.
This group has always been dominant.
When they travel around the country, they play all the best teams, they normally come out on the top.
So it's just good to do it on this stage.
That's what I'm proud about that.
They did it on the biggest stage, you know what I mean?
The biggest stage of them all and they are headed to the championship game.
I'll head to T.S.
All right, Autumn Johnson, thanks so much.
Talk to him with Kari Howard.
Well, he seems like he's got it under control, Coach Howard.
He's a great coach.
He knows what he's doing and you can see.
That is why they are 3-0.
Potentially 3-0.
6-0-2 here.
Fourth quarter.
26 point advantage for Count Jackson in the sky.
Pete Souza alongside King McClure.
clear. We just heard from the third member of our team Autumn Johnson. And here it is, the big ticket.
Kaisenat back into the basketball game. Coming out of the pack. Here comes Orr.
Johnny Howard is rejected by Weston Moppo. We know he attacks the basket, attacking defensively there.
And we'll say he's nice touch by Howard. Look at this, he's trying to go between the legs layup.
Oh
How he pulled that off deep
I would have ran out on the court and depth my man up
I don't think I've ever seen that in a game
Definitely I haven't seen that by anybody sitting at 4 feet 3 inches tall 9 years old
Look at Kai from Face Post the Trigger
No good
Oh
I thought that was the one
It's looking better, it's looking more fluid
It's coming off softer
The ball is landing softer on the rim
again it's looking better it's getting softer it's not thinking off the glass
he's doing a much better job because he is improved
Jeff Williams is denied by Kai. Sanam ahead to his teammate, Jase Burton gathers gets
control of his body but misses. Stoich gets a paw on the rebound knocks it
out of bounds. Cowards basket ball. Pete I think this might be the game we see
Kai gets his first three.
I think it might be the game.
The way that the ball is handed,
it's a good sign that it's not taking.
He's got 25 rebounds and 16 points.
And he got some coaching from you pre-game
without shooting beyond the arc.
I had this in ass.
I'm something there, can you play?
He gets in the way.
Prince Calvin out of the pack,
first pair he's found.
Tonight will be the game, Pete.
Tonight will be the game Kai gets his first three.
Well, he's certainly given it a try.
Some of those three point attempts for Kaisen at look at where they're hitting.
I mean, the other day they were cranking off the backboard and the insurance on the furniture.
But now look, it's hitting on the room.
It's getting more air underneath it.
I think that today will be the day in which we see the push ice the mask back on.
Little RT's come back in the game in business with the Seisty Mask.
But I think today will be the game in which Ty knocks down his first free.
Oh boy, if I'm a member of the Phoenix Towers, I don't want to see this right now.
Yeah, I don't want to see the Seisty Mask.
Yeah, the Seisty Mask is scary, scary hours for the RT right now.
How do you stand up here like, brah, nice shot.
There is Lil RT, a blockbuster trade earlier today.
Send him to New York.
Dan Levittal early in the broadcast calling it Kai Gade.
As Sinanches taking matters into his own hands, up in his ivory tower making moves personnel-wise,
getting the LRT on the team.
He's looking to be an enforcer.
No LRT.
Kind of like Kai's bodyguard there.
Kai hits the floor and so does Prince Calvin.
everybody's okay and Kai doesn't eat the pumpkin. Kai has a lot of the levels of
pump fake and shoot. He needs to be able to go into rhythm and go straight up in
his jumper. No extra movements need to be involved right now. Straight into the
jumper and I think Kai will make his first one. Well the first night Dennis
Smith Jr compared him a little bit to Kenneth Farid as we've got a chance to
watching play over what is now almost three games. Any new comps?
No, I'm still going to Averice.
No RT, you got a dribble, people. You got a dribble, little RT.
RT, no wedding. You got to put the ball on the floor, RT.
Hey, when you got a ski mask on, you could break any rules you want.
Clearly, that's the mentality for little RT.
Man, that slicey mask with the black forces is crazy working.
Playing just three miles from his birthplace in the fan cat section of Atlanta, Georgia
Making himself right at home tonight in OTP arena
All the mad with the rejection
Here he goes, constant mad, Costa Costa
I could have fouled up his own mess
Again though, with the plethora of points
Never seen God's own attorney ankle though
High heading to the pinch, we can hope he's okay
filthy and on the opposite side oh we see the signature quadruple quince who
pulled up with the three miss layup the air ball on the first layer but he gets
it back playing hard determination okay
we got up to seven there perfect
from Mel Merriweather to the left wearing number six and stalling to the
right you see or right behind Kai everybody put a trainer we have seen
Kai go at his break in all three games inspiration to some of those eight and
nine year olds he's playing against I'm sure he just plays so hard at all times
he gives maximum effort that's all you can ask for from your leader
back no good. Let's get it over to Autumn Johnson standing by. Hey guys, I'm over at the skies bench
right now and I can see that Kai is in a lot of pain right now. He's wrapping his left knee, but
the teammate is very supportive, trying to keep the morale up, trying to keep his strength up.
They're helping them up, giving them some high fives. And I did hear Kai say no matter what,
I am playing in the championship game. Autumn Johnson with the point of view of the Sky
24-point advantage for New York.
How about Autumn Johnson? She's been all over the place, man.
Celebrity interviews and nailless giving us breaking news.
She's the easiest woman in showbiz. She's been killing it.
And getting hit on.
Man, interview, handling it like a...
Trying to show that he's that guy,
Camden Jeffries, inside of two minutes now.
It's all academic.
It's Kai coming back out.
He looks like he might be.
Nothing can stop this guy.
That's Odeon.
I'll set me up.
From the vibes of New York.
Showing off some of that New York integrity
and character and grip.
Kai really wants a 3.2.
He really wants a 3.1.
That's a 3.
I don't think he can do it.
A minute, 30.
I think he can do it, Pete.
This is what he needs to take his game to the next level.
This guy's to that 5'3, 4 inches tall.
told Shannon sharp the other day here when you're standing on money. It's almost
like you're seven feet. He's 0 for five. He needs to see one go and Pete just
one. He is determined. Kai, you know what line up on a free to like I get a
three. You gotta slide down when all he could think about is hitting one from
beyond the arc. Can eventually gets where he needs to be with 90 seconds
remaining in a 24-point advantage.
This place is still packed.
And they want to see if Sennac can knock down a three.
Looks like he's getting a chance next to Joni Stein's
in that mean rebound.
Oh, Jody!
A head to the spot!
J's screw almost finishes.
Shades of LeBron and Brownie playing together
with the Lakers now.
Carouser.
I hope to Sennac.
I got a feeling he's going to pull up.
Nice, Sennac!
Happily up the court.
Look up, look up!
Mary Leather gets his pocket.
If there's one guy who can get kind of all back,
there he is, number 12.
Powers with some steel.
Oh, there's the one.
There's the other, bro.
Let's get Jay Stahl instead of Fritz Lohan.
His attitude and his effort.
But he's got some nerve at 22 years of age
coming down on the young Jay Stahls.
Especially after not hitting the free throw line
or not hitting the win on many attempts last night.
As of right now, they have the same free throw
percentage.
Okay, so I'll be straight at the net occasion as you mentioned
from three
There's a reason you see those special t-shirts this is just in
commissioner gold based off of the current standings and recently uncovered and little known
Stay with us now at home.
The playoffs will be all gone and the finals have been set.
This is not the last you've seen of this matchup.
Two-and-one stay for a rematch of these two dominant teams.
There's the bracket and there's the final.
Gosh, you gotta hold that logo too.
Pretty cool stuff.
An amazing logo, but these two teams will face off again.
So the interesting thing is how will the tower respond to this large loss they
will be focused they will be ready like I said coach Raymond is one of the best
coaches in this league they will be ready. Alright let's get it over to Autumn Johnson
she's ready standing by with Kai Senat. Director you guys won the regular season now
headed to a championship appearance what did it take to get to this moment?
I feel so amazing they're having a lot of fun they born out there they hoop it and
Wednesday we finally go to the championship automatic advance because
we got the best looking in the whole LBA so I'm locked in them focus and I'm
ready to pull out you mentioned your guys behind you you have Jody you have
a Johnny scoring duo the Splash brothers themselves what is it like to have
scoring weapons around you like that at the end of the day it's about them
you feel what I'm saying at the end of the day all they tell me is that
they having fun each and every day.
They coming in here, they having a great time.
They never played on a professional stage like this.
And for me to be able to do this for them
and have them play this professional,
it's amazing.
Ain't that right?
We're facing the biggest game of your life.
How have you been able to handle the pressure of it all?
Keep watching how to play basketball tutorials
on YouTube.
I keep watching the tutorials and it's working.
You feel what I'm saying?
And I'm-
ETA!
Yeah, and we watching the film and all that.
You feel what I'm saying?
going here. Everyone get this shit legacy on the line and championship on the way
back to you guys. Well, Kaisen at storming through the postseason just
like that with that groundbreaking news and quite the development out of
commissioner gold's office. New York will play in the finals against the
Phoenix towers and another opportunity for Phoenix, but they're gonna have to
way to stop constant that I was
not even kind enough. It was as
Johnny and Jody, those two guys
that dynamic duo scoring the
basketball, they are a problem
that those two guys on the court
were dynamic. They were
exceptional. I mean, the way
that they shot the ball, the
way that they put the team on
the back and you throw guys
a rebounding hit his, his
tenacity. You've mixed all
You've mixed all of that together.
This is a team that can win a championship.
I want to remind you, this was a game that was a 10 to 9
affair with the sky leading.
The four minutes left in the first quarter,
and New York just blew this one wide open
as we see the celebration spilling into the halls
of OTE Arena, led by that man, Kaisenat.
Let's take a look at some of the first half highlights,
rather, as the celebration continues.
Of course, don't worry, we'll get you back to that.
But here was some of that special play from the sky.
A lot of highlights, a lot of defense.
I mean, this team was locked in from the jump.
And what I was most impressed with,
we knew they could score the basketball.
We knew their trio was exceptional.
However, defensively, they were locked in the whole game
before a full, how many minutes was it?
Eight minutes?
Eight minutes.
For a full 32 minutes, they were locked in
from the jump guy in passing lanes.
We talked about the towers being the more physical team.
Well, you can tell that the sky were ready from the jump.
You can tell the sky prepared for that.
The dynamic duo, look at this, 32.43 rebounds.
I don't know if there is a better duo,
not only in the LBA, but in the NBA.
I mean, we look at what Jamal Murray and Yolkic.
I mean, I mean, we look at LeBron and AD.
We look at a step in play.
I mean, I would put these guys up there with them.
By the way, I don't know too many players
that have a big portrait of themselves in the team locker
room, but shout out to Kaisen at.
Only he can pull that off.
But you mentioned those two playing so well together.
Remember now, it's the celebration.
They're going wild with the water.
We love it.
We love to see it.
We promote what happens at the LDA.
You keep doing it with water.
Listen to me, champ.
Wednesday is the championship game, OK?
Listen to me.
The whole of A&P gonna pop out.
The crowd is gonna be massive.
Duke gonna pull up.
That's what it's all about.
I'm not gonna lie.
No, we all going.
Well, as Kai and the Phoenix, excuse me, the New York
sky, head down the hallway to the press conference area
where they will be greeted by, I'm sure, a media storm.
We can talk about tonight's game and the future of the LBA and Kaisen at Kai 29 rebounds tonight to go with
16 points
Here's something to consider to if you're Phoenix getting ready to play this team a blockbuster trade took place right before this game
Shipping little RT from the little G League as a member of the Atlanta squad to New York
If he finds his footing and develops chemistry with the rest of the team, I mean
That's very difficult to play with the team the same day that you're traded to them. You don't know the playbook
You don't know the players but now an opportunity for he and the team to gel with one day off heading into the final
Yeah, Pete. I think it all starts with number one taking the ski mask off
I think when you take the ski mask off
It's a different level of focus because I've never worn a ski mask, right?
I don't know if you have if you want to see me from Philadelphia. So you is that a yes or no?
Yes, I have you want Pete in a ski mask chat
This is a sight to see we have to be able to see that
But anyways, when you take the ski mask off, I've never worn one, but I would assume that
it kind of limits your vision.
So he really didn't have his full peripheral out there because the ski mask was so tight
and he couldn't think straight.
So I think number one, take the ski mask off.
And then number two, like you said, it's hard.
You get traded.
You have no practices.
You were coming same day straight out of a car, a 20 minute car ride.
There's a lot for a kid and there's a lot on your legs.
And you can tell that he was a little fatigued.
He was a little lost.
didn't know where to go, but that's expected because he's never been on this stage with
this team.
This is a huge stage.
So, to ask a low-army rapper to come on the floor and to perform on such a major stage
when no practice and no chemistry or camaraderie with this team, that's a lot.
But you know what?
I'm proud of him.
He stepped up.
He played hard.
He gave 100% effort.
Even when he was knocking kids down.
He gave 100% effort.
You could say he set the tone with that early foul on the early foul.
I mean, the takeout foul, I mean, the knockout punch, it was, listen, we're here and we are
here.
We're not going anywhere.
This is how we are going to play a little R T definitely set the tone if he didn't do
anything else.
Yeah.
Little R T 20 miles from home or 20 minutes from home, the song 60 miles really helped
him break through and become a household name.
He's going to have to learn how to play 32 minutes of basketball, though, if his
his team's gonna win a title.
Let's get it over to Kai in the championship press conference.
Check that, he is walking to the press conference,
not quite there yet.
And this is the kind of guy we're talking about.
Of course, when you're a champion, it feels good,
but he's a real approachable guy,
taking pictures with folks,
appreciates the sold-out crowd
that has been at all these games at LBA,
at the LBA and OTE arena,
and it's been a really fun experience for him.
It's the humility.
I mean, when you go talk to him,
when you have conversations with him
and you chop it up with him,
he is one of the coolest dudes you'll meet.
He's just a stand up, real chill, real laid back guy
and he's doing all of this for the kids,
for the children, like he said.
It's about his teammates.
He is selfless, he is caring.
And this guy is what you want
to be the face of your league.
And there he goes, where he will join
the rest of his Eastern Conference
championship teammates.
So this question anyone can answer everyone knows it's hard to beat the same team twice how confident
about Wednesday's finals I'm really confident because we're gonna be every team undefeated
all right so I have a question for everyone as well how did Lil RT fit into the team tonight
right after the blockbuster change, he played very good defense, but he just got deep as
he got that aggression and where he at?
R.T.
Where is R.T.?
R.T. left.
I don't know.
Oh, damn.
So Jody Stowings has continued to dominate for this guy.
What kind of teammate is Jody and do you expect him to lead in the finals as well?
As you.
That's it, right?
Is there anybody?
Say it one time.
Jody's amazing teammate.
He always makes his shots, passed the ball very well.
He rebounds for the team, he does a lot for the team.
He can help us lead to the fight.
That's W Mans right there.
Guy, can you address the rumors that you're leaving LBA
to go back to streaming?
What's the rumors?
Back to streaming.
I don't know, who knows if you know what I'm saying.
If you leave, I'm gonna crash out.
For real, me too.
Yeah, you're gonna be mad if I leave?
Yes, bro.
We're going to see. We're going to see. We're going to see.
This question is for all of you guys. We had two chains in Liliati among others in attendance
tonight. Did you feel any extra pressure? No. I don't feel no pressure. It's the same
day, same game and we feel no pressure. So this next question any of you guys can
answers. Now that you know the finals will be a rematch of tonight's game, how are you
going to prepare?
You'll prepare the same way.
We're going to feel it on the practice.
We're going to go like practice.
We're going to go prepare the same way.
And Kai going to watch.
And again, Kai going to watch people play basketball.
Yeah.
It's a story of the bronze engine.
Yeah.
This question is for everyone. What message do you guys have for the Sky fans that
will come out and support you guys on Wednesday?
Say that one more time.
Say that one more time.
We love y'all, bro.
Wednesday is for the whole New York sky.
You know, supporters out there, especially the chat,
you feel what I'm saying?
Wednesday, if you got nothing you're doing,
I'm telling you, championship game will be lit.
Put on post notifications, everything.
Championship game, we really gonna get our first, right?
We really about to win this, y'all.
All the way.
Now, Kai, this question's for you.
Repeat the question.
Kai, you changed numbers for tonight's game.
Can you tell us why?
Changed numbers for what?
For tonight's game.
Why did you do that?
No, I went, I went for the jersey.
I went to you feel what I'm saying?
You know, no, no, no particular reason why I went to,
but you know, just, just to, just to.
A Johnny hit three big threes in the first half.
How did that momentum change the game?
Still one time?
A Johnny hit three big threes in the first half.
How did that momentum?
Oh yeah, that was great.
I'm not gonna lie, them threes was great.
it got us back in that momentum and made us do what we had to do.
He's a great teammate and I love how everybody allowed him to do his thing when he had to do his thing.
He felt that he had the hot hands, so he let it loose.
Hey, Johnny, I thought about that.
So, Kai, you had 16 points and 29 rebounds tonight.
But continue to miss layups.
How much miss layups?
Wait, it isn't time.
Wait, what's my field goal?
You had 16 points, 29 rebounds.
No, how much should I shoot for?
Let me see.
Wait, wait, where am I at?
At the top of the net.
8 for 28.
Damn, 8 for 28.
Who needs to see this?
Damn!
Damn!
God, darling.
Nah, I gotta watch film.
I really just gotta make my layups.
If I make my layups, my team gonna be proud of me.
You feel what I'm saying?
So, here's the last question for you all.
Are you confident going into the championship game?
Go!
Definitely, definitely.
We gotta win this.
We gotta get out of here.
and go to my house.
Yeah, you wanna go to AmpGrid?
Yeah, we gonna go to AmpGrid.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I wanna say one thing, okay?
First things first, I don't know if y'all know,

No, no, somebody broke it, somebody took my record.
But look though, no, no, Iron Mouse, okay?

You feel me?
So we're going to have to see what happens
in the future.

another big press conference from Kai, where there is never a dull moment here in the LBA.
This action is fantastic.
A man of many talents and we will see what he means moving forward.
Lil' Artie, not a part of the press conference.
Lil' Artie had to get out and go.
Lil' Artie had to go dip.
But Lil' Artie, I'm proud of him.
He played well.
He played hard.
That's all you can really ask for.
