    Yessir. Song by Future called Hi-tek tek.

    Future was probably drunk in the studio and went w/ Kareem rather than Hakeem.

    Is Kareem in the lyrics the name of another rapper he is referring to? If its Laker Kareem, how does that make sense?

    I'm guessing he was on the sauce and flubbed it up. Jalen posted on his instagram story about it as he was getting flak for it lol.

    I just looked it up and Future's lyrics are exactly what Jalen said. Strange. I guess Future got Kareem and Hakeem mixed up and it's officially the lyric and now younger gen will relay the misinformation.

    Yep, most these rappers are idiots and don't really watch basketball.

    I wonder if House is willing to give up the 4 for Green or if Green has to buy it off him.

    I don’t know why people come to House‘s defence now. He ****ed up. He shouldn’t even be here anymore.
    I agree it’s kinda rude but this is sports fandom. He ****ed up and the fans despise him for it. I know i won’t shed a tear if his ass gets traded.

    Are you referring to the bubble incident last year?

    That's a little unfair, I'm proud of the players for even reporting and making it through that experience. Some guys, like Avery Bradley, didn't even report to their team during it.

    Most NBA fans nowadays don't know who Hakeem is. They just heard from songs growing up some talented big whose name ends in "-EEM". Makes me feel old.

    Cheated on his wife with a nurse during the bubble which resulted in him getting thrown out and the Rockets having even less players for the Lakers series.

    It's just we spent the past month discussing him so there really isn't anything new to discuss. Most people happy with the pick, a few not. Nothing else to really talk about Green until the summerleague.
