Hi, I'm Swing Cash here with Young Hollywood in Houston, Texas for the NBA All-Star game. From one two-time MVP, All-Star MVP to another two-time All-Star MVP, I want to let you know yesterday night, Russell Westbrook is questioning your MVP trophy.

Nick Cannon

Uh, well, it's called jealousy. Uh, you know, I think anybody that's in my shoes or that uh, you know, watches the game can see what happened. Uh, you know, I chose first of all, this is off the record cause I don't want this to get out. I broke my hip in the second quarter.

Young Hollywood

What?

Nick Cannon

And I came back and played through it. It was almost like a Willis Reed moment. And I uh, I tried to keep it under wraps and uh, I think the media wound up getting a little piece of it and now, you know, my performance was a lot bigger than what it was. So it wasn't about the points. It was the fact that I motivated my team and led my team to another victory, which hasn't been done twice. I had two blowouts.

Young Hollywood

Oh, really?

Nick Cannon

That's me as a starting point guard. Last year and this year.

Young Hollywood

What happened this time?

Nick Cannon

This time I was in the game as well. Uh, you know, I was just playing around. I ain't I ain't I ain't put no buckets up like that, you know. I think I got like eight points, something like that, all told.

Young Hollywood

So you let Kevin Hart get away with all that foolishness and win an MVP again? Like four points though. Like they just they just gave they just gave it to him just to get it to him. I'm proud of him. I'm happy for him.

Nick Cannon

How many How many assists did you have? I don't think that's important. See, I think I think we're asking the wrong questions here. I think I think what's important is saying how many wins do I have? You know? How many of my teammates are better because of me? These are questions that you ask. You're you're going for statistics that show nothing. Those are nothing.

Young Hollywood

But they say stats don't lie.

Nick Cannon

Yeah, well, they, who are they? Exactly. See? I don't lie. I win and I motivate and I'm a champion and I'm also a two-time MVP. Are you play a little bad basketball? I could have went pro but I hurt my toe. Everybody know that. I was blue chip for years. Clearly.

Young Hollywood

You know what's sorry and what's bad is that I have a basketball court at my house in Atlanta, Georgia. And I hardly ever play on it, but yeah, I play a little bit. And I need to play more. Yesterday I was at your performance with Ciara and Ciara. Killed it, killed it. But I was looking up there and I'm like, I could tell you work out. But what when you're eating fresh and you're on the road, what what are you putting inside of your body? What's what's your diet like?

Nick Cannon

Um, really, I just make sure I get on the treadmill for a very long time. And, you know, maybe like once or twice a week, I kind of pig out, but other than that, I'm just eating, you know, no fried foods. Man, always finding wherever they got the organic, you know, the grass-fed beef and and chickens and things of that nature. I try to eat as clean as possible like you said, and not a bunch of, you know, I like eating hormone-free, basically.

Guest

Well, what I found is, you know, finding a lot of shakes that I like. I'm not a big salad person, so you kind of get your green in these green shakes. But I found places in LA that just make 'em taste so good and it doesn't feel like you're eating healthy. You know, the problem with people on eating healthy, they think eating healthy is nasty food, you know, you got to find food that that tastes good. So, I found some cool places in LA that are keeping the taste there but giving me healthy as well.

Nick Cannon

Oh, you know, honestly, just knowing what I like. And I'm a salad fanatic. So, you can get salad anywhere you go. You don't have to worry about making sure you get that. You got to get the fresh lettuce. You know, you can get salad just about anywhere. And I love fruit in my salad. So, just picking out fresh fruit. Um, chicken. I mean, pretty much everywhere you go, focus on chicken. But when I travel a lot, I stay away from red meat. I don't eat pork, but I stay away from the red meat, just cause it weighs me down.

Young Hollywood

So, if you were going to Subway, what sandwich would you get?

Nick Cannon

If I'm going to Subway, I'm getting a turkey sandwich on wheat with uh, honey wheat with the uh, provolone cheese and spicy mustard. Um, give me a turkey, so wheat bread. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

If you had an opportunity to play three on three with any other two players, past or present, who you got on your team?

Nick Cannon

Uh, any other players, past or present. Uh, Michael Jordan would definitely be one of them. Uh, I think I'll go with Mike Mike and LeBron. We'll be cheating though.

Guest

Michael Jordan. Uh, Dr. J. Myself. Second guest: Michael Jordan. I'll take Shaq.

Guest

I'd have LeBron and Kobe. Definitely.

Young Hollywood

No MJ? Oh, you talking Oh, you talking about the all-time. Yeah. Yeah, all-time. You can go past or present.

Nick Cannon

Uh, MJ and Magic Johnson.

Young Hollywood

You can pick MJ?

Nick Cannon

Actually, you know what? So, um, I want to go against Okay. MJ, Patrick and and Charles. I'm gonna take me, Kobe and Penny Hardaway. So, you just set the teams. You got your team and the team you want to play. And would that be the the greatest three on three team ever?

Guest

Pro Probably. I mean, you know, I like Kobe's aggression. You know, I like Little Penny's aggression. I mean Little Penny. I like Penny's aggression and the way he gives up the ball and I already like what I do. So, I think that'd be a great three on three matchup.

Nick Cannon

If I could choose, Bill Russell, of course, MJ, you know, if I could put him, you know, I have him coming off the bench. Okay. Cause I'm I'm starting if it's my team. I don't care who's on the team.

Young Hollywood

Sounds like Kevin Hart out there. You're a star. That's right. Second guest: Oh, definitely I'm a LeBron fan. So, definitely LeBron and KG.

Young Hollywood

Well, I'm down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, KG, he he's still up there? Second guest: Yeah, for me, uh, uh, KG is is my role model. So, I respect KG to the fullest. That's why I'm a Boston Celtics fan. So, definitely KG.

Guest

So, the two people that I would rock with on my team, Jordan and Shaq. I'm gonna go with them. Oh. Yeah, yeah, I'd go with those two.

Young Hollywood

So, no no Kevin Hart, cause he's a two-time MVP.

Nick Cannon

I would have to do anything. Ah, absolutely not. Tired of people talking about that. He's a despicable person.

Young Hollywood

But still an MVP. And since you are the man, two-time MVP, if you had an opportunity to be on a three on three team, you and two other players, past or present, who you going with?

Nick Cannon

Uh, I would take myself uh, and I would also go with a younger version of myself when I was in high school, uh, cause I was faster. And if it's possible, I would like to pick my shadow. Um. Basically, I don't think you can get better than me. So, I think I would three realms of me.
