6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,239

Speaker 3: cent LA Sports Live Everywhere a short show and at

13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 3: least they're going to give us a show. The game

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 3: clipped in any short for those of you waiting for

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: the ninth. As Tim Neverett and Rick Munday just explained,

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 3: if you missed it, if you were just kind of

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: half paying attention. Heat, extreme heat, as we're dealing with

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: it here in southern California. They two are dealing with

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: it in the desert right now, so calling it after

20
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: eight and it would have been nice on Monday to

21
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: have that sort of decision made, but a last We

22
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 3: had a four and a half hour game.

23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: Who knows what the what the managers and the coaches

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: want to see? Who knows where the time goes, which

25
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: way the wind blows and all the holes? No, you

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Matt, I know exactly what you

27
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 2: can answer so perfectly put.

28
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 4: About what's going on?

29
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: Who knows in the mind of Dave Roberts and his

30
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: staff and his coaching triage.

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: We're happy they did it. Gives us about forty minutes.

32
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 5: Here.

33
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 3: We got Tracy McGrady, who was scheduled to call. We

34
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: thought we might have to postpone him, but instead going

35
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: to join us in the very next segment talk a

36
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: little Laker basketball, a little bit of something he's got

37
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: going on as well. We'll get you your dead and alive.

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: Biggest news today, though, ahead of everything else, is the

39
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: fact that shoe Hail Tani made his debut four and

40
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: a third a single hit, walks for strikeouts, zero runs.

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: Tanner Scott Matt Well, before we get to Tanner Scott,

42
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: Otani regularly toss let's get the positives, let's live. They

43
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: did win the game five to one. Otani did pitch

44
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: four and a third, and he did top ninety seven

45
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: ninety eight on quite a few of those pitches. So

46
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 3: it looks to be in mid season form. Very exciting

47
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: and now p after Enriquez was able to finish out

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: the rest of the fifth inning for him, Will kleinb

49
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: had a nice outing blake trining able to reset and

50
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: get himself back after giving up three run jack and

51
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: hitting a couple guys on Monday, went two thirds, gave

52
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: up a walk, struck one out, no hits, so nice

53
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: for him. But then Tanner Scott pitched the eighth and uh.

54
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: Why don't you keep dancing with the box score? You

55
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: had all those other stats, why don't you keep going.

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 3: Matt, Well, he served one up.

57
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: It's not like you memberized him. You see it right

58
00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: there on your screen.

59
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: Say Victor Barricoto homered on what could be described as

60
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: a pitch that was served up on a platter. And

61
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 3: I do believe that ball is still going and that's

62
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: why they had to call the game so they could

63
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: secure it before it killed somebody.

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 4: It was shocking that they called it. I mean, that's

65
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 4: they don't usually call it.

66
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: That ball is going to land somewhere near Scottsdale, and

67
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 3: they want to make sure nobody gets hurt. So I

68
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: would assume they're out tracking that thing right now.

69
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: And sadly, Matt David Vassay, though cynical and hard to

70
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: listen to at times when it comes to his haughtiness,

71
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: David Vassa is right about the World Baseball Classic. If

72
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: the US was so serious about it, they should hire

73
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: a real manager that could maximize the talent of the

74
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: loaded US lineup and pitching staff and team overall.

75
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: Well, stop chasing pitches, you losers. One two. How about

76
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: you pitch trek school bull Huh? How about you don't

77
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: say about how much you want to do it and

78
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: you just get out there and pitch and you deal

79
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: a bunch of zeros. You know what. I'm happy for Venezuela.

80
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: Those fans were excited. Yeah, they were about victory. It

81
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: was nice to see them. So it would have been

82
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: a little flat the US one to have thirty five

83
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 3: thousand Venezuelan fans and five thousand US fans trying to

84
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: figure out what the hell just to happen.

85
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm happy for Venezuela too. And it's easy to

86
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: point your finger if you're in the US contingency, which

87
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 2: we all are, and it's more fun to probably point

88
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 2: the finger losing to Venezuela and calling it and made

89
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: for MLB event, like David Vasse does, than it is

90
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: to actually hire a real manager which they usually use,

91
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: which is Mike Soosha. We are going to talk to

92
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: Tracy McGrady in the next segment. But I did want

93
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: to tell you this, Matt, because it's happened to me

94
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: the last two days when I have emerged from my

95
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: uh my office slash basement, which you call the rub

96
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: and tug or rug rug, rub and tug. I call

97
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: it the rug and tub, rug and rub and tub. Yeah,

98
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: it's run well, I rode there is no tub down here.

99
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: But I don't want to get legionnaires. But I last

100
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 2: two days I've come up from the office early in

101
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: the morning and there had been ducks in my pool,

102
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: like three real ducks, like shiny green head ducks like quack,

103
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: you know, making all the duck noises and and flapping

104
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: around in the pool and then moving around, and then

105
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: they go up to the roof and then they all

106
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: leave because ducks fly together.

107
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 4: Right as we all know.

108
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: It's like a real Tony soprano moment for you with the.

109
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I guess that was in that the sopranos.

110
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: And then uh, yesterday morning they came back and they

111
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: were back in the pool at the exact same time,

112
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: and they rolled out.

113
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: That's better than dead rats.

114
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: I scooped one of those out the other day. I

115
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: tell you about it, you were out of town. But

116
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: the ducks, I'm not like a mafia killer. I don't

117
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: think it's good for them to be in the pool.

118
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: But but you know, I guess they're not living in there.

119
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 4: They're just on the move.

120
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: But any any of our ornithologist friends, if they'd like

121
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: to text me, I'd love.

122
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: To be an feed them once, you like, break off

123
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: some figure out what they'd want to eat.

124
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: And I don't think that's a great idea. I don't

125
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: think I need. I heard from some others that you

126
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: that's not what you want. You don't want ducks around

127
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 2: you see how wacky daffy Ducks acts. And then you

128
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: know Donald's got a terrible temper. Yeah, and those young ones,

129
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: the nephews, are very rambunctious.

130
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: But they can crack a case with the best of them.

131
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, or you know you can videl get dark Weenock.

132
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: We'll be right back with Tracy McGrady from NBC and

159
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: Petros and Money Show on Anti seventy LA.

160
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 4: Sports Are Home with the Dodgers. Hi, Tracy, how are you?

161
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 5: What's up? Guys? I'm doing Well's good to be on

00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: You man.

Speaker 5: How does it feel for you guys to be covering

00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 5: sports out in LA and all y'all do is like

00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 5: y'all winning every every year?

167
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: Well, we are connected to the Dodgers.

168
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 5: Pretty good, man, That must be a great How y'all

169
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 5: feel about three feet I.

170
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: Mean, you know, it looks pretty good, Tracy, But I

171
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: have to say, uh, it does get a little weird

172
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: when they're in the World Series every year and everybody

173
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: else is so thirsty all around the world, and everybody

174
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: here is so pleased and happy, and it has made

175
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: so many memories, right, but it is yet it certainly

176
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: makes money for the station, which is a wonderful thing.

177
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: And the Dodgers do a great job. They do it right.

178
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: If there is an NBA comparison to the LA Dodgers

179
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: right now, is it okay?

180
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 4: See?

181
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 5: Okay?

182
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, be a team that would reinvest their money,

183
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: you know, because that's the one thing they do is

184
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: they make a lot of money. But like Patrick Ewing said,

185
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 3: they spend a lot too, and they're really good about that.

186
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 5: I like it. Hey, you gotta spend to win, that's right. Spend,

187
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 5: that's right.

188
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: The Lakers spend a lot of money. They spent a

189
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: lot of money on Luca, obviously on Lebron, making over

190
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 3: fifty mil before we get to the Ones Basketball League.

191
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 3: Just kind of your thoughts on where they're at on

192
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: this this winning streak and how Luca's playing at this

193
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: MVP level and if they are in that same conversation

194
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: as the Spurs in the Thunder or if not, how

195
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 3: far back are they?

196
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, surprise where they're at. I mean, you were

197
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 5: talking about Luca, a guy that is, you know, the

198
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 5: premier score, just an elite, elite basketball player that knows

199
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 5: how to carry a team. And then when you add

200
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 5: leb you know you have Lebron James on that team.

201
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 5: Although he's what forty one years old, he's still is

202
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 5: better than a lot of these kids in the game.

203
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 5: And you look at Austin Reeves, the emergence of him,

204
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 5: I mean, my goodness, he came out of the out

205
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 5: of the gates this year and he and Luca look amazing.

206
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 5: And some injuries took place where you know that that

207
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 5: kind of got back tracked a little bit. But they're healthy.

208
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 5: They seem to find their rhythm, meaning Luca in ar.

209
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 5: They look back like they once did in the beginning

210
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 5: of season. They got that rhythm back and Lebron and

211
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 5: those guys Lakers are playing great. The question I only

212
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 5: have with them because I know they could score with anyone.

213
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 5: Like offense is not a thing, it's just can you

214
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 5: sustain elite level of defense in the seven game series

215
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 5: when you plan against the Spurs and OKC? Can you

216
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 5: sustain that level? Because they can because they have the personnel,

217
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 5: And that is the only question. Now, if the Lakers

218
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 5: are clicking offensively like that, I think they could beat anyone.

219
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: Tracy McGrady obl hoops dot com is the website for

220
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 3: the Ones Basketball League, so let's pick it up there.

221
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: Because they each have something different to offer. I mean,

222
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves got that pistol pete action. Kind of going

223
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 3: with him. I assume he'd be a good one on

224
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 3: one player. Of those three, which guy would you want

225
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: on your which which one player would you want for

226
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: your ones basketball league? Luca ar or Lebron?

227
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 5: Well, Lebron is forty one, he's going to be out right.

228
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: Now, he's out.

229
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 5: Get tired, and give me a young Lebron taking him.

230
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 5: But I'm going with Ar. Ar Is to me is, yeah,

231
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 5: ar got the elusiveness, shot making ability, create space, not

232
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 5: that Luca doesn't have that, But if I had to

233
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 5: choose one, I'll go with Ar.

234
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: How much do you have to worry in the ones

235
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 2: basketball league, Tracy about dudes getting tired? Because even if

236
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: they're pros and they haven't played in a long time,

237
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: they can get real tired and then it gets kind

238
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: of sad. How do you how do you prevent people

239
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 2: from getting tired?

240
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 5: I'm glad you asked that question because that is the

241
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 5: number one question about one on one basketball that I

242
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 5: really study and really took my time on identifying and

243
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 5: and having a result, you know, a result for that problem.

244
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 5: And what I came up with because I played one

245
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 5: on one my rookie year. You know, I didn't play

246
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 5: that much when I got drafted by Toronto, but I

247
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 5: took it upon myself because I played with a former Laker,

248
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 5: Doug Christie, premier defender, and I knew if I go

249
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 5: against him every day one on one, how my skills

250
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 5: wouldn't prove. And that's exactly what happened. So having the experience,

251
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 5: I'm playing one on one knowing that, Okay, I know

252
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 5: if I'm going to create this league, I know how

253
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 5: tired guys will be. So it's a point system on

254
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 5: what I've created that keeps the level of play, keeps

255
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 5: the product, you know, high level, so it doesn't dip

256
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 5: off to where you're looking at this game. You're like, yo, man,

257
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 5: what are we watching here? And I don't want that

258
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 5: because I've been there before on one on one seeing

259
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 5: sloppy play. So I identify what that point system needs

260
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 5: to be. And that's just playing till like seven and

261
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 5: nine to keep the quality of the game going.

262
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 3: Die, Yeah, you go to nine. It's interesting, is you know,

263
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 3: And look, everybody's one on one game was different when

264
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: we were young, right, So I'm eleven, fifteen, twenty one.

265
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 3: Do you have twos? Do you have twos and threes?

266
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: Does it make it? Take it?

267
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 5: Is it?

268
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: And change of possession? I mean like you had to

269
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 3: go through a lot of stuff to figure this out.

270
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 3: And I'll start with one that that I that caught

271
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 3: me off guard is you've got a ten second shot clock,

272
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: but you've got to clear it all the way to

273
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: the three point line, not the free throw line after

274
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: change a possession. That's a lot of moving around.

275
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 5: We're pros. I'm turning you into a pro. That's what

276
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 5: we got to do. Oh book, no complaining about taking

277
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 5: the ball out beyond the three point line. Oh that's

278
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 5: We're going to give you ten seconds. So what I

279
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 5: came up with, And yes, you have to be in

280
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 5: shape to play my game. I see some of these

281
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 5: some of these entities are putting out you know, one

282
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 5: on one game to where it's just one shot. You

283
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 5: got three dribbles in one shot. No, I want real

284
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 5: basketball and basketball how we play. You shoot the ball,

285
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 5: you go get the rebound, and you put it in.

286
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 5: So I'm giving you ten seconds for the offensive player

287
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 5: to have that possession. Now, if you shoot the ball

288
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 5: with five seconds left and you've got more time to

289
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 5: go get your rebound to put it up. That's how

290
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 5: we play basketball like this is about endurance. You have

291
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 5: to factor that in so and it's strategy as well

292
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 5: on how you play. I'm gonna tease something in my

293
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 5: league this year to where I'm gonna take out corner

294
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 5: threes because that's what was driving me crazy. Guys shooting

295
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 5: the ball, getting the rebound, sprinting to the corner three

296
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 5: to shoot it, only to miss it goes on the

297
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 5: other side. The other guy gets the rebounds and does

298
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 5: the same thing. So I'm eliminating corner threes. I'm surely

299
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 5: something different to see.

300
00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: Fascinating conversation with the Tracy McGrady. Do you enjoy doing

301
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: the net I mean the ones? It sounds like you

302
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: guys have have crossed every te and dotted every I

303
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: Have you enjoyed doing the network TV thing?

304
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 4: This year?

305
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: NBC has kind of taken it by storm and people

306
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: are having a lot of fun watching it.

307
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 4: How has it been for you?

308
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 5: I love it, man. I never thought I'd be doing TV.

309
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 5: I thought I was just going to have brite off

310
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 5: in the sunset, you know, in retirement and enjoy, you know,

311
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 5: all of my business endeavors that I have in China

312
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 5: and just relaxed with the family. But I got into

313

Speaker 5: TV NBC and the crew that we have, the family

314
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 5: that we have with NBC is amazing. I mean, I

315
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 5: couldn't ask for a better you know, station, to work,

316
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 5: for a better crew to be with with Melo, Vince

317

Speaker 5: and Maria. It's been everything that I want, man. And

318
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 5: I'm you know, to be retired for what thirteen fourteen

319
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 5: years and have this gig. I see myself doing this

320
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 5: for a long time.

321
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: Last thing for you, Tracy, before we get you out

Speaker 3: of here, and again he is running the Ones Basketball

323
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 3: League obl hoops dot com. All of these schedules out

324
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 3: there about registering, about getting into round one which will

325
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: start on May fifteenth, available at the website. But you're

326
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 3: trending because you know, you're on the Raptors and we're

327
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 3: talking about expansion again. Kind of thoughts on going from

328
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 3: thirty to thirty two and if there's you know, enough

329
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 3: talent to sustain another two teams and how you think

330
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 3: that looks and if it's.

331
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 5: No, there you go no, no, no, I don't like it.

332
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 5: I mean I do like US. I do like team

333
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 5: going to Seattle though you know that was one of

334
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 5: my favorite cities to play in. But thirty two teams. Again,

335
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 5: I just don't think we have the talent to be

336
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 5: trying to, you know, go to thirty two teams. I

337
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 5: don't you look at and I hate to talk about

338
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 5: these teams, but they're not good. So you look at Memphis,

339
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 5: They're not a good team. And I know some of

340
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 5: these teams are taking to try to build up their team,

341
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 5: but that just it's not about taking to get, you know,

342
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 5: certain talent. I don't think that talent is out there.

343
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 5: I just don't see it. I don't see the level

344
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 5: that I don't see the abundance of talent to where

345
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 5: you think you could go and start two new teams

346
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 5: and you know, it looks like it's going to be

347
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 5: a a competitive league. I like the thirty two. I

348
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 5: mean I like the thirty I like where we're at,

349
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 5: and I also like Seattle getting the team. Now, if

350
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 5: they want to move Memphis and move Minnesota to the

351
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 5: Eastern Conference, figure that out, But not thirty two teams.

352
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:50,439

00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 3: maybe they don't recognize the name, but you know it.

470
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 3: He is sixty seven today, born in Paris. Parents you'll

471
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 3: like this be you're a famous phrase. Who's for scuba?

472
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 3: His parents were scuba diving instructors, and that was his

473
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 3: plan take over the family business. He loved to be

474
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 3: in the water, but in his teens he was involved

475
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: in an accident that damaged his lungs and that prevented him.

476
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 4: See that would keep us out of the school bay.

477
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 2: You know, just one time your head almost explodes underwater

478
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you don't want to do

479
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 2: the school bay anymore.

480
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 3: Well, there you go. So marine biology is out, of course,

481
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 3: your backup film. He did not go to some prestigious

482
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: film school. Instead, he briefly moved to the US. Here

483
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 3: worked some odd jobs on film sets, various small roles.

484
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 3: Decided probably going to be a little bit tougher for

485
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 3: him to corm to climb the corporate ladder of filmmaking here,

486
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 3: So he went back to France did the same small roles,

487
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 3: odd jobs. By his early twenties, he was writing and

488
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 3: directing short films. The industry took notice, gave him a

489
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: green light in eighty five for his film Subway. Critics

490
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 3: loved it. The Big Blue followed again critically celebrated, and

491
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: that gave him the budget for his trailblazing seminal release,

492
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 3: a film really that kind of changed Hollywood, the first

493
00:26:52,680 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 3: truly ass kicking, strong, complex female protagonist in La Femme Aikida,

494
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 3: And it was huge, awesome, best film, truly one of

495
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 3: the all time greats. That's what everybody said about it.

496
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 3: And then he followed up with arguably film truly the

497
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 3: rates and he's like, oh yeah, I'll watch this.

498
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 4: Uh.

499
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 3: He followed it up with what is regularly found on

500
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 3: most top tens leon the professional that is Luke Bassan.

501
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 3: It is as good as good gets. Gary Oldman's often

502
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 3: cited greatest performance, and of course that's saying something and

503
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 3: fur pison depending on what you read and who you

504
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 3: read either. His fifth element was ahead of its time.

505
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 4: Hey, the element was awesome, man, what are you talking about?

506
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 3: I agree, but some thought it was kind of this

507
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 3: film has no idea what it is is what you're.

508
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 4: Talking about it.

509
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 3: Right, and Gary Oldman again. But that was he was

510
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 3: a little weird. His films were a little odd, and

511
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 3: that's what made them memorable. Not only a director, but

512
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 3: a writer and a producer, Basan is responsible for the

513
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 3: Taken franchise. He wrote the role for Liam Niese I'm

514
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 3: Going To turned him into an action star and helped

515
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 3: launch the career of Statham. He did The Transporter and

516
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 3: a handful of his other films, so a true superstar

517
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 3: in the world of filmmaking. Kind of. All of his

518
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 3: films have similar characteristics. A lot of really bright, striking visuals,

519
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 3: not a lot of dialogue, a lot of action, emotionally

520
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 3: driven characters. He most recently in twenty twenty five di

521
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 3: Diversion of Dracula that won a bunch of fancy French

522
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 3: film awards. So happy sixty seventh there, Luke, Paul Maurice Besom.

523
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 2: All right, Matt, well, thank you, and thank you to
