It is 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:28.639 Wall of Fame weekend for the Giants, as they're going 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.440 to put five more players up on the Wall of Fame. 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:35.760 It'll be It'll be Buster Posey, Brandon Crawford, Brandon Belt, 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:37.560 Joe Panic, and Pablo Sandoval. 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.200 Pretty big, pretty a good group. It's a great grove. Man. 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.000 My question to you for a couple of weeks now 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.920 is how fans can react to Buster Posey, And I 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:48.840 think fine, and you have those group of guys together, 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:50.720 I don't think it's'ud be like a maybe it's where 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.159 he singled that at one point, but I think that 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.680 fans know to separate what's going on right now with 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:58.280 the team and what he's done in the front office. 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.040 And some will still even probably a plaut for that, 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:00.520 right now. 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.720 But I think that a lot of fans will just 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.360 remember Buster Posey the player, and that's the fair thing to. 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.520 Do this weekend. Yeah. Also there's so many other players 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:08.000 to celebrate. 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.640 Brendon Crawford didn't get his flowers, Brandon Belt didn't get 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.639 his flowers. Were just fantastic. And they did that Brandon 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.600 Belt Day that was earlier this year, right, they do 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.920 it Brandon Belt there. Yeah, they did the Belt Day. 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:19.960 I think they did earlier this year. Yeah, so this 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.480 year last, I can't remember. Yeah, all the all the 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:23.679 l's are running together now. 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.240 I only remember Bryce Olderch's Grand Slam. Yeah, that's the 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:27.640 only funny. 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.600 It's the only memory I have of Honestly, it's like 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.280 playing golf. You hit like four hundred bad shots. Not 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.080 that you would in one round. He shouldn't, or you'd 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.920 be a really bad golfer, but uh you'd, uh, you 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:38.920 hit like one good One's the only one you remember. Like, man, 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.080 I just remember how that feel. So it keeps it 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.240 keeps you coming back. You're attempted to it anyway. Yeah, 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.440 I don't think oddly enough, Buster Posy, I don't think 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.080 will be the focal point of this weekend. 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:49.960 Nor should he. It'll be really cool to have Joe 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:51.600 Panic back. Yeah. I'm excited to hear from him. And 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:52.920 I'll tell you what. The guy who's gonna get the 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.840 biggest ovation, it's Pablo's animal. Oh yeah, that's a guy 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:57.000 against the Tigers. 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.640 Yeah. Yeah, I love that they're doing that. He should 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.400 have his own day in and of itself. Don't forget he 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.920 left and came back. Ye ll let Pablo pitch a 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.040 guy with three home runs in a World Series game. 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.440 One of my favorite things about Pablo Sandoval. And I'm 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.400 sure there are guys off the top of my head. 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.799 I'm just not thinking of any right now. And baseball 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.520 is like basketball and the NFL. Really, Basketball and baseball 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.640 become so systematic in the way that they do things right. 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.400 The sport with the most identity or unique identities is 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.840 the NFL now, because you don't get different, you get 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.480 different styles of play by different teams based on their philosophies, 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.560 their offensive philosophy, the defensive philosophy, or you're talking Mike 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:38.640 McDonald being a brilliant defensive play caller. Baseball used to 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.000 have that. He used to have teams that were heavy 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.440 pitching teams. And you'd have the teams that played small ball. 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.480 You'd have the Cardinals in the eighties, it would swipe 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.600 a bunch of bags. You'd have power teams like it would. 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.320 There would be a very style of play, and everybody 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.040 kind of did their own thing, and now everything's just 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.120 become sort of uniform across the board. Pablo Sandoval was 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.560 what we'd call a bad ball hitter. And it wasn't 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.240 just that he was a bad ball hitter. He could 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.359 hit anything. Like bad ball hitters were guys that could hit. 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.480 They would just roll out of bed and hit. Larry 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.040 Walker was a good bad ball hitter. Vlad Guerrero one 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:08.800 of the best of all time. Those are two Hall 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.000 of Famers. I just mentioned guys who you could bounce. 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.200 I remember there was one that, like a pitch bounced 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.640 in front of home plate and Vlad hit it off 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:17.359 the wall. Yeah, like he hit it like it was. 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.000 A golf ball. Pablo was like that. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.359 You couldn't He didn't have a spot that you could 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.840 throw to that made you feel comfortable. He would chase, 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.240 but he was really really good at making contact. I 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:27.720 think I told you the first time I ever became 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.680 aware of Pablo I went to a single A game 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.160 in two thousand and eight. My buddy and I went 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.320 to a Sanjose Giants game, and he was the starting 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.080 catcher and he was hitting third or fourth in the game. 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.720 He homered in the game twice, once from each side 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.560 of the plate, and was the starting catcher. He was 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.160 hitting like three seventy or three eighty. When the game ended, 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:46.840 we were like, My buddy and I were like, dam dude, 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.520 this is gonna be It's be great if this guy 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.520 worked out. Switch hitting catcher, Big pudgy dude had some 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:55.080 speed seemingly around the bases, and I believe was truly ambidextrous. 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:56.880 I think they said he could throw just as good 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.880 lefty as he could righty for the most part, and 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.000 became a third baseman once he came up to the majors. 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:03.600 But they had the whole big money, little money. But 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.480 the point is is he was in single A in 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.119 two thousand and eight, and I saw him in May 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.800 or whatever. By August or September, he was in the majors. 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:13.600 He was by August he was in the big leagues. 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.040 He skipped double A entirely sent him straight to Triple A. 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.160 Continued to hit, and he became one of the best, 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.880 most favorite giants of that entire era. And I think 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.559 people forget he was on the twenty ten World Series 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:25.839 team and lost his gig at third base. They were 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.600 starting Mike Fontno over at third base because Pablo went 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.960 through just an awful slump, and by twenty twelve he 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.400 shows up three home runs in that World Series game. 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.160 I was sitting up here in three zero two. 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.320 Remember remember I was I was gonna break it off 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:39.920 with that girl and she gave me the to Yeah. 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:46.440 I was here for that. No, No, she did tough deal. Kylin. Sorry, 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.120 I don't have to tell you, oh real quick. I 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:49.039 was here for the ball game. 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.320 Tell me your memories at Joe panic because he wasn't 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.039 here for all three World Series, he was here for 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:53.560 the last one. 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.360 Yeah, man, I mean, Joe Panick's one of the ones 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.719 that I think about. He's the only I see, the 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.640 only Yeah, it would have been like the only homegrown 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.880 second basement. Like we talk about the three closers of 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:07.599 the World Series years, right, you have Brian Wilson, of course, 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.800 and you get Sergio Romo and then really it was 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.080 Casilla that fourteen season. But Bumgarter nails it down in 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.960 Game seven. Same thing for the second basement, right. I've 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.000 talked a lot about them trading in nine for Freddy 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.120 Sanchez at the deadline because they knew there wouldn't be 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.280 anybody available. He's the second baseman in two thousand and 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.560 it's crazy that all three second basement played major roles 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:30.080 two in the World Series runs. He comes up, not 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.760 comes up, Freddy Sanchez in his first three World Series 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.320 at bats, first player ever have three doubles first three 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.880 World Series at bats. Crazy fast forward two years later, 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.560 First it's Ryan Fonton or not Ryan Terrio is the 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.000 second basement. Then they make the trade for Marcus Scudro, 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:45.560 who doesn't swing and miss for like a month and 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.920 a half, basically makes all the contact in the world NLCSMVP, 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:50.960 the great moment of him at second base with the 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.440 rain pouring down, And then they move on again, and 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.480 in twenty fourteen, at that point you get Joe Panicker 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.480 comes up, Whin's up. I believe at one point winning 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.640 a gold Glove was just the most solid two second 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.400 basement type itter you could have through right, batted left, 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.920 was a great slap guy, but had some pop could 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.120 leave the ballpark. What I'll remember him for, and I 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.279 think whatever Giants fan should remember him for, is Game 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.400 seven in Kansas City, the flip double play, who I 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.000 believe Jeremy Affelt was on the mound for that. I 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.160 think a felt came in and like the second the 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:19.760 third inning might have been like the second inning for 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:21.520 Tim Hudson, who started. 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:22.880 And funny thing is they knew. 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.440 Huddy wouldn't get give him a lot, they knew he 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.240 wasn't going deep into this one, but a crucial bubble play, 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.240 the first ever reviewed play in a World Series game, 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:31.880 and they get him by a nail. But the diving 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.280 flip to Brandon Crawford, who gets up and rifles it 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.640 to Brandon Belt at first. That's what I'll remember Joe 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:40.159 panic for. Not a short not a long career, but 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.120 a really really good giant and a fun giant. 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.560 Dude made an All Star team at one point, I believe. 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.600 So he came at the tail end of that era, 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:48.480 and so it makes it a little bit a little 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:52.679 bit harder to uh to outside to have the major 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.599 moments in the major spots, because they've had what two 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.360 playoff births since that World Series title in twenty fourteen. 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.719 But that's all I'll remember is that incredible double play 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.000 for a guy who was homegrown, and that they needed 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.520 three second basemen and three different closers to win. 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:07.280 Three World Series. 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.160 It speaks to the stability of that core and with 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.560 that front office and that coaching staff and what those 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.600 players were able to do. And Joe Panic was just 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:18.600 another incredible fit for it. 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:22.040 No, I'm huge that first season twenty fourteen, but I 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:23.120 remember twenty fifteen. 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:24.760 He was out for all of that season. 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.000 Most of that season, i should say, and he did 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.920 weekly hits on Haberman and Middlcoff and I would talk 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.800 to him every week, and it's hard to have a 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.320 player on that's injured. So after a while I was like, Hey, 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.440 you know, I know you're kind of like getting frustrated 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.200 that you're not talking about, you know, being with the team. 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:39.880 So what do you want to talk about? He goes, Uh, 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.840 tell the guys, I'll like review movies. I'm just sitting 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.600 on the couch watch a movie. So ask me what 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.120 I'm watching. I'm like, all right, what kind of movies 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.360 was watch? So Haman and guy guy in John are like, so, 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.080 what are you watching Lately Joe and he's like, oh, 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.680 you know, I'm watching Men in Black three. 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.400 They're like is it good? No? Not really, And I 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.000 was like, why would you t that up if you 0:07:58.000 --> 0:07:58.720 don't think it's good? 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.360 No, no, it's not really. Can you break it down force? 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.520 I could, I could want I won't, Yeah, I won't. 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:04.520 It was it was that terrible. 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.120 So I just gave you all the reasons I remember him. 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:07.440 And you're like, yeah, I remember he watched Men in 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:08.480 Black You. 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.000 Know the connection I had with him where he was like, hey, 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.200 teaming up for like talking about the terrible movies I watch. 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:13.560 He's like, yeah, Men in Black three, it sucks. 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:14.680 It kind of like when I brought up F one 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.880 last year and I was like, yeah, Cars, Room Room, 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:17.560 he's pretty good. 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.800 You put it in the rundown and said Derek's review 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.640 of F one and then said, yeah, there's some good shots. 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.360 Some good shots.

Now what the concept we were gonna like, 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.720 I don't need a Super Bowl champion hard knocks. I 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.559 didn't need a Buffalo pills hard knocks. I want to 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:23.439 see a guy who's fighting for his job. I want 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.120 to see quarterbacks who are fighting for their careers. He 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:26.720 I want to see. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.560 That was the point. What's the hard knocks? Okay, you 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.439 won it all, you might finish second. 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.839 But then when they started initially years ago with the 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.640 Ravens being on hard knocks, when they won the Super Bowl. 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.199 Well, yeah, but that team that's hard knocks. You don't 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:40.560 think that. 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:45.360 You don't think that the Seahawks of hard knocks was 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:45.560 I was like. 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.600 Does everybody accused of murder ahead of the Super Bowl? 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:48.160 I don't think so. 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.280 Well, I'll say this, like it's interesting to see Mike 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.600 McDonald at a new light, like more goofy and the 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:56.920 way he is as a coach, Like I thought he 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.920 was gonna be more of a hard ass, but honestly, 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:00.920 like he's won thirty nine years old, there's at one 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.199 point where there's a there's a big fight on the field, 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:07.480 and what was his name the one Pat Derek call. 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:09.839 He had a good super Bowl and he gets into 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.520 a fight with an offensive lineman. He grabs him by 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.480 the throat and pulls him down, and then Mike McDonald's like, whoa, 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.560 that's a little too much there, and then the defense yeah, 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.200 and then uh, well no, he's he he's kind of 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:22.800 like just like, I mean, I like guys, you know, 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.040 get into fights, but I don't appreciate that. And the 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:26.440 defensive cord it comes by and he goes, well, did 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.080 you hear what the offensive lineman said to him? 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.000 What he said? Oh, you changed that, you got a contract. 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:31.640 He goes, I don't like that. That's not fair. 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:33.959 You gotta call it another brother because of their money 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:35.920 like that. So he goes up to me goes, hey, man, 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.120 you know I'm all for like, you know, getting a 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:41.640 little feisty and everything, but did you have to like 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:43.560 talking about his money? 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.320 Come on, like that's your brother, man, come on, I 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.800 don't do that. And then he's like, all right, fairt 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.840 coach goes okay, all right, no, hug Dad will all 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:54.160 go It's not a bad episode. 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.560 But then they go to Sam Darnald to Cooper Cup like, 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.600 whoa you see this Lebron James just signed the seventy 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.560 six ers, and like they're like they were, like looking 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.719 at all the comments, He's like, can you believe that 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.679 people give him crap going to a good team. 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:08.520 Yeah, we did the same thing. What's the big deal? Yeah, 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.160 I'm sorry. Neither of you are Lebron. 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:11.800 No, neither of you are at the peak of your 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:13.720 private not that he's in the peak of his powers, 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.199 but his impact. I think that felt a little different 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.080 than Cooper Cups even last year. Yeah, I definite missed 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:19.160 a lot of time last year. 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.440 Last year, No he was there. Did he miss a 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:22.320 lot of games last year? 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:22.560 No? 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.200 Did he miss a check of two years ago? Then 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.680 with the Rams, I don't know, man, all. 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.600 Right, they were just winning ball games hand over fist 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.480 and honestly like he was playing a lot opposite. 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.800 It's a solid episode, and I still think the Rams 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.160 could be pretty good. Seahawks will be good this year too. 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:37.880 Niners will be good too. I just I don't know 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:39.320 in the same vein as those two teams. 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.400 All right, let's get into these these stories, these stories. 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.200 Deal or no deal, Big deal or no deal. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:48.920 Okay, So the Kevin Durant Twitter reaction with Klay Thompson 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.000 and Draymond Green. I'm gonna say, yeah, a little bit 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:54.360 of a deal here because when it comes to the 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.200 Warriors days with Kevin Durant, I always wondered, as you 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.560 look at those times fondly, and to me, this one 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.280 interaction was very weird, like I remember, yeah, you kN 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.960 Katy and Draymond getting into it like Katie's closest friend. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.160 I mean, I think he was tighted with Zaza too, 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.200 but really it was Steph Curry and Katie or not 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:14.240 actually knows Clay and Zaza. 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:14.760 I never mind. 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.040 I don't remember Clay and Katy being particularly close. But 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.560 this one interaction online was so weird where it's just 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.960 a normal like Poleacher Report thing where it's like compair 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:27.080 of these dude teams. You got the upcoming seventy six 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.560 ers and the Warriors of twenty seventeen, so who's better. 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.960 And Kevin Durant, probably thinking he's on his his burner account, 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.440 responds saying, oh, you gotta say the seventy six ers. 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.160 This guy's an MVP. That guy's an MVP. Klay Thompson 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:39.720 hasn't been an MVP of nothing. 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.120 O, brother, you got it? What you good? You gotta 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.160
