The @club520podcast on the event Jeff Teague: "You know when you lose, you start putting money up just to check a n**** pocket... It's not meant for professional basketball players to play 1v1 against YouTube pros. It's 2 different type of games."
Archie wants to bet Nas $100K on a rematch: "Now that I know how it is and how it's going to be reffed... It don't need to be a whole card. It can be him and me in a neutral site."
