Hello guys , how are you doing today , on this fine

0:44

day ? My name is Amadou

0:46

. Amadou the Great . Welcome to Fan Faces

0:48

. Plus A new name and

0:51

a new way of thinking , and

0:54

we're looking to hit

0:57

the ground running . Hit a whole bunch of topics

0:59

that we weren't too

1:01

flexible on in past episodes

1:03

, but we're going to do them

1:05

justice . Moving forward , we're going to

1:07

talk about a little bit of politics

1:09

, a little bit of pop culture

1:12

, a little bit of sports . We're going to mix it all in

1:14

man . It's going to be great . You out there

1:16

that's watching this , that's listening

1:18

to every episode that we're doing , please

1:21

share , like

1:23

tell a friend to tell a friend , and

1:25

make sure that you leave

1:28

a comment if

1:31

you have any questions

1:34

about any of the topics that I jump

1:38

into today . All right , some of the topics

1:40

that I will be jumping into you got the NBA

1:43

Conference Championships , the

1:46

Eastern Division versus the Western

1:48

Division , and you got Puff

1:51

Daddy and the family , everything that's going

1:53

on with them , and you got also

1:55

Congress , the Republican side

1:57

of it , anyways , all that's going on with

1:59

them . Yes , I'm a little bit biased there

2:01

, but don't be afraid I'll

2:03

be completely fair

2:06

. Biased but fair . All right

2:09

, let me jump into these topics . First

2:11

topic at hand got the Western Conference

2:14

Finals going on

2:16

between the Dallas Mavericks and

2:18

the Minnesota Timberwolves

2:20

the stars

2:22

in these games . You got Kyrie Irving

2:24

, you got Luka Doncic that's

2:27

from the Dallas Mavericks . Then

2:30

you've got Anthony

2:32

Edwards , you've got Carl

2:34

Anthony Towns , you've got Rudy

2:37

Gobert Defensive Player of

2:39

the Year . Rudy

2:52

Gobert , anthony Edwards and Carl Anthony Towns just came off of a fresh Game

2:54

7 win over the defending champions , the Denver Nuggets , and they beat them , I mean , I'd

2:56

say , easily . It seemed like they were

2:59

going to win because the way the second half

3:01

started there they were imposing their

3:03

will defensively and offensively . Shots

3:05

were falling . Carl Anthony Towns was

3:07

playing his game , anthony Edwards

3:09

was playing his game , rudy Gobert was blocking

3:11

shots , was putting shots in sinking

3:14

threes . It was a pretty good game

3:16

. But for the people

3:18

out there that didn't believe in the Timberwolves

3:21

winning , I thought they

3:23

had a pretty good chance because for

3:25

you to come into the defending champ's home

3:27

, beat them handily twice , in

3:30

blowout fashion , two times

3:32

. You know that had to

3:34

send shockwaves through the

3:36

league and for me I felt that

3:39

those wins depicted what

3:41

was going to happen , the trend that was going

3:43

to take place , moving forward and

3:46

as it was shown last

3:48

night , on Sunday . That

3:50

went very well for them . The Sembawolves

3:53

came through , showed out

3:55

and did their thing . They played

3:57

offensive basketball . Well , everybody did

4:02

what they were supposed to do their jobs and

4:04

on the defensive side , they crashed the boards

4:06

and they played team defense

4:08

. They stopped the nuggets and

4:11

they stomped nuggets . They stomped them

4:13

out . Basically , they gave them no shot at all

4:15

for coming in as a defending champ and

4:18

I mean that's a shock to most people . But

4:20

I don't believe that should be a shock

4:22

to most people . The reason being , to

4:24

repeat as a champion is pretty hard . You

4:29

come in and you're like , okay

4:31

, I'm going to take it easy , I'm not going to give it all my

4:33

effort , while everybody else is giving

4:35

you 110% and if they beat you

4:37

it's a big deal . But if you beat them it's not a big deal

4:39

. And this is a

4:42

wake-up call of sorts for Djokic

4:44

. You didn't win this

4:46

year and you probably thought you know I

4:48

can go back and repeat . I'm , you know , the

4:50

league's MVP . And if I'm the

4:52

league's MVP , I mean I

4:55

could turn it on whenever I want , and that

4:57

wasn't the case . You can't turn it on whenever

4:59

you want . You turned it on

5:01

a little too late and your team lost . And now

5:03

your team's going to Cancun Bye-bye

5:05

. So you know , the Timberwolves

5:08

came in . They came in with a game plan and they

5:10

executed . They stopped Gordon

5:12

from doing what he wanted to do and

5:14

all the role players with the Nuggets . They

5:17

didn't do that well . But what are you going to do ? Pack

5:20

your bags , go to Cancun , go on vacation and

5:27

get rehabbed up and get ready for next season whenever the season starts . But

5:29

the team that I'm surprised to see in the Western

5:31

Conference Championship I mean , they're

5:33

good . But Kyrie , without LeBron

5:36

he hadn't done much . So

5:38

I wasn't expecting Kyrie and

5:40

Luka Doncic to

5:43

do much further , even make it to the conference championships

5:46

, and they did . And that's

5:48

kudos to them and kudos to their you

5:50

know , playing well together , kyrie

5:52

. You know he's around a talented

5:55

Luka Doncic and I guess that helps his game

5:57

, because he doesn't have to . You know , he

6:00

doesn't have to be the main reason why

6:02

they win . He can do what he does

6:04

to

6:07

be the main reason why they win . He can do what he does and that is just

6:09

enough for him to . You know , that's just enough for him and

6:11

the team to escape on by and make

6:13

it to the conference championship . Luka Doncic

6:16

played his game . He's a talented offensive

6:18

weapon . He did his thing and

6:20

that's how come they

6:22

ended up in this position

6:24

that they're in , which is pretty cool

6:26

. Kyrie could get an opportunity

6:28

to win a ring without LeBron James , which

6:30

would cement his legacy as one of

6:33

the great guards of our time

6:35

. I

6:38

always thought Kyrie was an awesome , awesome

6:41

player , awesome ball handler . I never

6:43

thought that he could carry a team

6:45

and he hasn't , but he

6:47

plays a great role as a number

6:49

two which helped

6:52

catapult the Dallas Mavericks to the Western

6:55

Conference Championships . All

6:57

right , let's go on to the Eastern side . The Eastern

6:59

side you got the

7:02

Boston Celtics , jason Tatum and company

7:04

, and you got the Indiana Pacers , tyree

7:07

Halliburton and company , and

7:09

that's . You know , that's an awesome matchup

7:11

really . Tyree Halliburton

7:13

he's with Coach Rick

7:15

Carlisle , who has championship pedigree

7:17

, who has won a championship before

7:19

, so he could definitely lead

7:22

a team towards a championship run

7:24

, but

7:28

you know , they don't have that squad that

7:31

they had . They

7:33

don't have the squad . Carlisle

7:36

doesn't have the squad that he had when

7:38

he won the championship with Dirk

7:40

Nowitzki . Tyrese Halliburton

7:42

is a star , but he's not quite there yet

7:44

. So the Boston Celtics may

7:47

have a game on their hands due to coaches

7:49

having playoff experience , having

7:51

championship experience . But

7:53

when it's all said and done , the Boston Celtics

7:55

have more talent than the

7:58

Indiana Pacers . So in

8:01

that particular position it's going to

8:03

be a tough series . They may even go to seven

8:06

, but Boston may come out ahead , and

8:08

you know that's just

8:10

how I see the cookie crumbling . But let's

8:12

go back to the Timberwolves . I

8:15

do believe the Timberwolves can make it to the

8:17

NBA championship as well , because the

8:19

way they're playing when they're on offensively

8:22

, they're on Defensively , they always try , but offensively

8:24

, when they're on offensively , they're on Defensively , they always try , but offensively when they're

8:26

on and they can put those two together . They're

8:28

definitely a championship caliber and I

8:30

believe if the Timberwolves are to face the

8:33

Boston Celtics , it might be

8:36

a tough game for Boston . It might be a tough

8:38

series for Boston . All right , let's

8:41

get on to the next topic at hand . Here we

8:43

got Puff Daddy , diddy

8:45

, brother Love . A tape recently

8:47

came out of him abusing

8:50

his ex-girlfriend Cassie

8:53

Ventura . There was a lawsuit , he

8:55

settled and he said oh

8:57

, you know all

9:00

the things that they're saying about me , that I did absolutely

9:02

not . True , it's not me , I

9:05

would never do such things . But , bro

9:07

, the tape is out Now . You're very

9:10

remorseful . You should have faced this thing

9:12

head on to start with . They put out

9:14

the tape so that you could face social justice

9:16

. And it's

9:18

not looking good for you . Yes , you can apologize , but

9:20

you're going to have to give the public some time . That

9:23

tape looked brutal . If

9:25

it was up to me I'd say take

9:28

the keys , throw that boy in the clinker

9:30

, take the keys and lock him away for good

9:32

. But it's not up to me . And the

9:34

crazy thing is that abuse

9:37

charge has passed

9:39

its statutes of limitation . So

9:47

, due to the laws of the land , puffy's not going

9:49

to jail . He's not in charge for nothing . The only thing that

9:51

could happen is he , you know , loses corporate sponsorships

9:53

, corporate partnerships and

9:56

people just back away from him and he fades

9:58

into the black . He fades into black and

10:00

for the rest of his life he's living in obscurity

10:03

. That's the only thing that could happen to him

10:05

. But I'm sure he has enough money stashed

10:08

away and he has enough companies

10:11

underneath him that would stick

10:13

with him for him to be okay for the rest of his

10:15

life and he has enough music

10:18

, catalogs and things that he's

10:20

invested in to

10:22

maintain

10:25

his lifestyle . But this

10:27

is not looking good at all in the court of public opinion

10:29

. They're not paying us , but

10:31

we're here to put our two cents in

10:33

and my two cents . That

10:37

video looked brutal . Man . If they

10:39

told you he did that , it's a different thing

10:41

versus you seeing what he did . You

10:43

seeing what he did changes the whole story

10:45

. It made me I mean

10:47

, my jaw dropped . I was like

10:49

God damn , that thing is scary . How

10:52

could he do that ? Wow , bro

10:54

. But that's

10:56

the thing . When you get to a position of having

10:59

enough money to be able to get away

11:01

with anything , you use that money to

11:03

get away with everything . This

11:10

tape wouldn't have came out hadn't had his house not been houses not

11:12

been raided . The tape came out because his house was raided , because

11:14

the initial story was that , um , he had , uh , he had paid

11:16

security to buy the tape off

11:18

of them so that the tape will never see the light of day

11:20

. Any smart guy would

11:23

have taken that tape , destroyed it and never , ever let

11:25

it see the light of day . But you know guy would have taken that tape , destroyed it and never , ever let it see the light of day . But

11:27

you know , when you have lots of money and

11:29

you're like I paid 50 grand for this

11:31

. I can't

11:34

pay for anything else to not happen to me

11:36

, and I mean living with

11:38

that mindset can't

11:40

be good for you , as you can see , because

11:43

the court of

11:45

public opinion is Pissed off

11:47

at you right now . Puff Daddy , brother love , you

11:49

got 50 Cent running out here like a madman

11:52

just making fun of you , left right upside

11:54

down , which is crazy . And then

11:56

, to top it off , your son , his

11:58

son , puff Daddy's son , brother love's

12:00

son , puts

12:03

out a what's it called a diss

12:05

track against 50 Cent . You

12:08

better leave 50 Cent alone , man . He has nothing to lose

12:10

. He doesn't even like his own son . You better leave 50 Cent alone , man . He has nothing to lose . He doesn't even like his

12:12

own son . So you better leave

12:14

50 Cent alone if you want to have

12:16

a good time in your life . He doesn't

12:18

even like his own son . So leave

12:20

50 Cent alone . All right , let's

12:22

touch into a little bit of politics

12:25

here . You got Congress

12:28

Sessions turning

12:30

out to be what's it called

12:33

? Turning out to be like you're in a set

12:35

of Mean Girls . You got Marjorie

12:37

Taylor Greene just trying

12:39

to insult anybody as much as possible

12:41

. It's my right , it's

12:44

my freedom of speech to say whatever I want . However

12:46

, I want . That's not true . It's your

12:48

right . Sure

12:50

, it's your right . But whatever you say , you have to suffer

12:52

the consequences of the things that

12:54

you say . All right , you can't

12:57

just go around telling people that you

12:59

know their eyelashes are getting in the way

13:01

or they're this , they're that , engaging

13:04

in what they call personalities , and

13:07

you know you don't do that . When they

13:09

do the same thing to you , you're like well , how

13:11

dare you ? You shouldn't do that to me , because I'm above

13:13

it all . Now . You can't be

13:15

going around doing that . You can't be going around talking

13:18

down to people . You can't be going around talking bad

13:20

about people and expecting nothing to

13:22

happen to you , whether it's words

13:24

or violence . Something's going to

13:26

happen . And for

13:28

people in Congress to be behaving

13:30

the way you are behaving , marjorie Taylor

13:32

Greene , it's insane . You

13:35

need to be courteous . You need to show people a little

13:37

bit of respect , like they show you . If

13:39

they disrespect you , then fine , go at

13:41

them . But if they don't disrespect you , stop

13:44

disrespecting people . Stop getting in people's

13:46

. What's it called ? Stop trying

13:49

to stick it to people . What's

13:51

it called ? Stop trying to stick it to

13:53

people , because you know you're Donald Trump . What's it

13:56

called ? You're Donald Trump

13:58

. You're Donald Trump ally , you

14:01

feel that you could say whatever you want , however you want

14:03

, and there's no consequences . Only

14:09

Trump really gets away with it . Even now

14:11

, though , he's not really getting away with it . He's stuck in courtrooms

14:13

, stuck in trials , spending a lot of money , getting taught a lesson

14:16

the American way , and the only way Americans know how

14:18

to teach you a lesson is to take your money away

14:20

and punish you that way , or put you in

14:22

what's it called and

14:25

what's it called , and

14:27

put you in courtrooms and have you spend money

14:30

, money , money until you run out of money . So

14:32

, marjorie Taylor Greene , leave

14:35

people alone . Stop getting

14:38

into personalities with people and talking

14:40

bad about them and expecting

14:42

nothing . I mean expecting for them

14:44

not to get back at you . Now , when

14:46

they called you a bleach , blonde

14:49

, butch , built body woman

14:51

, all

14:55

of a sudden , that went viral , and

14:57

that's not a good look for you . That's

14:59

not . You know what you want to represent out there . You

15:02

are supposed to be the example

15:04

. Set an example for your

15:06

constituents . Set an example for your audience

15:09

. Stop talking bad about people . Respect

15:11

people so people can respect you back , so

15:14

you can be looked up as a looked up at

15:16

, looked up at , looked up at , looked

15:18

up as a role model All
