All right, So let's go here. 77 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 4: Let's start with a little NBA action And as everybody 78 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 4: was ride high, Rob G, unfortunately your team and people 79 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 4: came crashing down yesterday. 80 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 3: Not a pretty sight six. 81 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, tough scene if you're a Lakers fan such as myself. 82 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 6: Luka Doncic has officially been ruled out for the rest 83 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 6: of the regular season, and the timetable to return is 84 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 6: indefinite Grade two hamstring strain. In case you guys wanted 85 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 6: to know historically about how long it takes to return 86 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 6: from an injury like that, they listed as three to 87 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 6: six weeks. But according to in Street Close, which is 88 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 6: the preeminent NBA injury account on social media, the average 89 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 6: time to return to play from a hamstring injury of 90 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 6: that level thirty five days. Now, what makes this one 91 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 6: even worse, guys, is, as you know, it took place 92 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 6: during a blowout. Okac beat the Lakers by forty three points. 93 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 7: Luka got blowed out, Luca got hurt in early in 94 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 7: the third quarter, and to make things even worse than that, 95 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 7: he had been seen in the first and second quarters 96 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,799 Speaker 7: grabbing at his hamstring, wincing a little bit in pain, 97 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 7: and even. 98 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 6: Still, JJ Reddick insisted let's keep him out there, let's play. 99 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 6: Said he had no regrets about leaving him in because 100 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 6: they determined that he was fit to play, all. 101 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: Right, there you go. That's what you do. 102 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 4: You make an excuse when it goes the wrong way, 103 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 4: And I'm blaming JJ Reddick whatever anybody wants to it. 104 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 3: There's a lot of things that he did. 105 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 4: Remember the playoff game that lost when they didn't play 106 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 4: put in the reserves in and they all got burnt 107 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 4: out right late in the game and the Lakers lost. 108 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 4: And that was another one. He of course he didn't 109 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 4: do anything wrong. It's a blowed out. They getting blowed 110 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 4: out seven and a half minutes. They were not coming 111 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 4: back under any circumstance. You gotta read the room. You 112 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 4: gotta read the room. Why why is he playing? Is 113 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 4: it because of some award? Is it becase because you 114 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 4: want to keep him out there so he could get 115 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 4: his numbers? Or is it about the Lakers making a 116 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 4: real run going forward? Could it happen the next game? Sure, 117 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 4: it could happen the next game. But it hurts. 118 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 3: It hurts even. 119 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 4: More when you look at it and go seven thirty 120 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,799 Speaker 4: nine left in the third quarter in a blowed out game, 121 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 4: and Luca, the twenty six year old with a thirty 122 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 4: six year old body winds up getting hurt and now 123 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 4: your season's over. 124 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: I'm glad you don't regret it.

With Luca. 132 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 4: There are circumstances, situations and blowouts where it's like, hit 133 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 4: the shower, let's get some other people some playing time. 134 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 4: This game ain't happen, and it wasn't happening from the 135 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 4: very beginning. 136 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,559 Speaker 3: It didn't happen in the first quarter. 137 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 4: And god knows if they've read the room and other 138 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 4: people noticed that he was wincing and not feeling right. 139 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 4: My goodness, gracious, he had plenty of time when they 140 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 4: went at it to go in his face and maybe 141 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 4: find out, Luca, how you feeling, because you know what 142 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 4: I'm thinking, I don't want to play you anymore.

But I'm calling 150 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 4: that the short bus because I don't think that this 151 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 4: was a right move for a guy like Luca in 152 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 4: that situation. 153 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's easy to say.

Well, this 174 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: is the barometer, this is the measuring stick, and I 175 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: want you all to feel this, and I want you 176 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: to fight back in this game, starters, and understand what 177 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: this is gonna mean for you. Understand this's gonna mean 178 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: for the team moving forward. So I don't mind him 179 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: playing it. It wasn't as if this was the fourth quarter, 180 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: six seven minutes left. 181 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 5: I'd get that. 182 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 1: I'd be much more inclined to be like, all right, JJ, 183 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: you were taking it a little too far. So the 184 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: idea that the starter is going back out there with 185 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: seven thirty nine and the third quarter is not asinine. 186 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 5: And Luca, I just said it yesterday to you on 187 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:09,719 Speaker 5: the air. 188 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: I said, Man, Luca always wins his before this is 189 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: before the game even started. Luca, every single game has 190 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: a moment where he's hunched over, or he's wincing, or 191 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: he's ah, he's always doing that. And we joked, I said, 192 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: you always call him the old man body who looks 193 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: thirty five. 194 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,359 Speaker 5: So you can't. 195 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: Necessarily read the room with Luca, because you never played Luca. 196 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: Luca always looks old. So I think this was a 197 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: matter of them playing the best team in the NBA, 198 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: the Randy Champs, trying to keep the starters in to say, hey, 199 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: y'all been feeling yallselves. The world's been telling us we're 200 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: back in this thing. The world's been telling us how 201 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: great we are. Best month of March fifteen and two. Luca, 202 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: you're backing the MVP race. This is a reminder of 203 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: what we're gonna face when we get in the playoffs. 204 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: This is a reminder of the caliber ball we need 205 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: to be playing. And he was just trying to get 206 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: his team, and at some point, probably three minute March, 207 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: two minute mark left and the third you go all right, 208 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: this ain't happening and you throw the white flag. But 209 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with him try to get 210 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: his best player out there, trying to get his team 211 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: and beat some momentum coming down the stretch and keep 212 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: them sharp as they had sorts of playoff runs. So 213 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: it's easy for anybody to say it now, but I 214 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: don't have a problem with him doing that at that 215 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: point in the game. 216 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 4: At this point in the season. Yeah, that game was 217 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 4: a blowout from jump. It wasn't a blowout in the 218 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 4: second half. It was a blowout from the jump. It's 219 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 4: not like he didn't come out and play the third quarter. 220 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 4: It was with seven and a half minutes to go, 221 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 4: so you got a half of the third quarter to 222 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 4: see where you are. If they did a run to 223 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 4: start the quarter, then you got a different argument that 224 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 4: that's not what happened. And my point is this is 225 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 4: a terrible loss, not only a game wise, but now Luca, 226 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 4: now your season's over. So very nice, and I think 227 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 4: JJ just refuses to acknowledge that maybe he should have 228 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 4: considered it and thought about what that kind of game. 229 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 4: They weren't gonna get any style points. They weren't gonna 230 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 4: get anything from that. There will blowout games, and you 231 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 4: know what, in those games, sometimes you just have to 232 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 4: let them go and wash them and flush them down 233 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 4: the toilet. You don't get anything from it. Loose instead 234 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 4: of losing by thirty, you lose by twenty five. Is 235 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 4: not going to change anything in that circumstance. 236 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 5: So in the such things I hear you. 237 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: But there's such things as statement moment statement games, and 238 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: for the Lakers again, this was all right, we've been 239 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: playing extraps exceptionally. 240 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 5: Well, are we that good? 241 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: This is the barometer you want to be able to say, 242 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: all right, we're losing. 243 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 5: That happens. 244 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: Are we gonna fight back, are we gonna push back, 245 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: are we gonna lay down? Or are we gonna fight 246 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: back and try to make it, you know, get back 247 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: in this game and show some competitive edge. 248 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 5: And that's what he was gonna do to a barn 249 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 5: to a certain. 250 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: Point to five minute, three minute, two minute mark, and 251 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: then you say, all right, we're down twenty going in 252 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: the fourth, maybe we can make this thing. 253 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 5: Or if you're still down thirty, you wave the white flag. 254 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: So I think it was well heading towards that way 255 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: where you wave the white flag. 256 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 5: It's just an unfortunate thing that happened to Luca. 257 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 1: Where I don't know if his binal body is finally 258 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: broken down for the rest of the whole entire season, 259 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: including the playoffs. 260 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 5: Will have to wait and see. 261 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 4: But well it's just three to six weeks. You don't 262 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 4: think that that's You're not rushing him back of all people. 263 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm saying the playoffs as well. I'm 264 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: saying like, let's say you get in the first round. 265 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 5: I don't know. I have to see who the matchup 266 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 5: will be right now, but. 267 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if you, if you kind of if 268 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: you feel like you're in it with with Houston or 269 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: Minnesota or something, you can make it, stretch it out 270 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: to a five, six, seven game series. 271 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 5: Does he come back then you know that'd be like 272 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 5: three weeks from now. 273 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 4: I would not rush Luca back under any circumstances, given 274 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 4: his history. He's already always banged up, something going on, 275 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 4: and the end is your franchise player. Can you imagine 276 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 4: like it just to me doesn't make any sense. He 277 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 4: has to be one hundred for me or it's close 278 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 4: to it. 279 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: Us saw like the Thunder and maybe even the Spurs, 280 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: I would be much more inclined to say, no, we 281 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: got to push through. 282 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 5: You never know with Luca in the way he's been playing. 283 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: But this year, I'm agreeing that the Thunder to me 284 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: are just clearly the best team. The Spurs right there saying, hey, 285 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: don't forget about me, Kelvin. Uh So, it's one of 286 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: those seasons where you weren't gonna win anyway. I've been 287 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: saying the thunder since they got the confetti in her 288 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: face last year, so it's gonna be it was an 289 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: uphill battle even if he was healthy, all. 290 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 4: Right, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven 291 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 4: seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.

Like Kelvin, he says, it's 295 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 4: all right, it's good.

He said to himself, he said, 371 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 9: I think uh. He said, look, he keeps grabbing. 372 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 4: At his leg and you kept seeing him. 373 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 9: Man, he said to himself, he said, at two weeks 374 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 9: to the playoffs, he said, I would just pull him. 375 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 9: He said, I wouldn't give Luca that much power if 376 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 9: I was coaching on just seeing him down for the 377 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 9: rest of the game, because he said, you have to 378 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 9: think about two weeks from now when the playoffs start, 379 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 9: and you know it's something that happened, but you know, 380 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 9: but but you. 381 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 4: Know what what you just said, Brendan, what you said 382 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 4: is this is what we talk about all the time. 383 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 4: Even the announcers who are doing the game, they even 384 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 4: know like like they even know. I'll give you another 385 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 4: one that was in the baseball game the Giants and 386 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 4: the Yankees, and of course the Giants have a rookie 387 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,719 Speaker 4: manager who came from college. And on the TV broadcast, 388 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 4: it was two outs and judge was up, nobody on base, 389 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 4: and Joe Davis, who's the play by play man on Fox, 390 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 4: he says, I'm wondering if they're going to pitch the 391 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 4: judge here with two outs and two lefties coming up. 392 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 4: So guess what they did. They pitched the judge instead 393 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 4: of walking him. And what a judge do? 394 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 5: He had a home run? 395 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 3: Right, he had a home run. It was a lefty pitcher. Yeah, 396 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. 397 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 4: So there are moments there where the broadcasters will clue 398 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 4: you in. And Van Gundy right there was telling you 399 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 4: take him out and it didn't happen. That's all happens, 400 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 4: all right, we gotta come. You want to jump in here? Yeah, 401 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,239 Speaker 4: so this is interesting. Uh, Charles says Calvin Kevin. I 402 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 4: called you, Kevin Kevin. 403 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 3: Your argument is so weak. 404 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 6: When it comes to Lakers game, lebron knew what time 405 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 6: it was, he was on the bench. Rob is right, 406 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 6: let the young guys get some time. The problem is 407 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 6: Lebron was on the court and he actually dumped on 408 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 6: the next play. You can argue, you can argue the point, 409 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 6: but to say that Lebron wasn't there, he was right there. 410 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 5: Get the facts right. 411 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 6: Lebron was playing, a r was playing, Luca was playing. 412 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 3: He just got hurt. 413 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 5: The starters were playing. Oh listen, I'm not saying keep 414 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 5: him in the fourth quarter. 415 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: What he was trying to do was, all right, if 416 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: you make a push, can we more importantly, can we 417 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: have some fight, some get back that. That's what he 418 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: was trying to do, to see as we wide down 419 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: the season. Can we get our team? Can we get 420 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: them going? It's what he was saying. Can we get 421 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: them saying, Hey, we ain't gonna be pushed around like that. Okay, 422 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: see we knew you guys are the barometer. You guys 423 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: are the champs. Let's see if we can make some 424 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: fight and some push in this second. 425 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 3: Don't look like speaking of which they can't. 426 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 6: Jabos says, hey, Lebron and ar should be able to 427 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 6: beat Houston and many. I think, okay, look it might 428 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 6: be another gentleman's wee. I just couldn't say that. 429 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 3: Last year, everybody everybody told me that. 430 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 4: Everybody told me that the Lakers when Lebron and Luca 431 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 4: were gonna beat Minnesota, it was it was unanimous from 432 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 4: what I read everybody, Yeah. 433 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 5: They can't. 434 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: I don't think they can beat either team fully without him, 435 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: they can make it, you know, maybe they still won 436 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: two and like I said, if he decided to come 437 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: back seventy for a last game or two and then 438 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: we'll see. But straight up, if he's just completely out, 439 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: let's say, first round, I don't think they have enough. 440 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 6: So if he's out the entire first round, you don't 441 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 6: think they even have a chance to eat beat either 442 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 6: of those teams. I would pick up. I would pick 443 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 6: the other team to win. But I think if there 444 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 6: was a team that have a chance with it be Houston, 445 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 6: because Houston can't. 446 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: Say yeah, I would give you Houston over Minnesota. Minnesota 447 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: has what the Lakers don't. Both teams have the strog 448 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: struggle with the Lakers when you got a bunch of 449 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: guys who can go fast, go energetic, who got our athleticism. 450 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: So the issue with the Rockets are they have moments 451 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: where they can't score. 452 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 5: They don't make their free throws. 453 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: They don't have a lot of guys that can knock 454 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: down threes, obviously Kevin Durant, So so that that would 455 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: be that I just Minnesota. Now, it's Edward's gonna be 456 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: fully healthy, you. 457 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 5: Know what I mean? 458 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: If if you're telling me it's both teams without their 459 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: stars or at least not fully healthy. Maybe it's something 460 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: it depends on because I know he'll should be back. 461 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: But what if he's not fully back, Well then maybe 462 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: you got something going if you're the Lakers where he 463 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: can be. Both teams are down there, big star players. So, uh, 464 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: we'll have to wait and see how this all ends, 465 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: all right. Uh sick Luca now expected to miss the 466 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: mess of this season, Well that's gonna hurt him. 467 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 5: Of course. 468 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: In the MVP conversation with a five game, the sixty 469 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: five game rule still right with it, We'll tell you that. 470 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: On the other side of trending right now, it is 471 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: Steve the Seger Hey. 472 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 2: Steve Fox Sports Radio as the best sports talk lineup 473 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 2: in the nation.

Was it maybe 481 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: a week a week and a half ago with Cade 482 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: obviously having an MVP calidar obviously I don't think he 483 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: was gonna win, but having an MVP caliber season up 484 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: for awards, and it just seems like we keep having 485 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: to have these conversations pretty much every week over the 486 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 1: last month as some big name drops out of the 487 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: candidacy for a big award. 488 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's big facts. We've been talking about a little 489 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 6: bit yesterday during one of the updates when it was 490 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 6: announced with Avony Edwards missing the game, that he was ineligible. 491 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 6: So in the last whatever two weeks, you've had two 492 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 6: guys at least who looked like they were locks for 493 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 6: first Team on NBA, Kate and Lucas, a guy who 494 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 6: was a lock for one of the all NBA teams, 495 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 6: and Anthony Edwards all ruled ineligible, which is made again 496 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 6: the spotlight on this sixty five game rule. What's interesting 497 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 6: about this one is we know the details already. We 498 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 6: know sixty five games. That's been debated at nauseum right. 499 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 6: What's interesting is to win the scoring title, which Luca 500 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 6: would win if the season ended today, you only need 501 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 6: fifty eight games. So it looks like he's gonna get 502 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 6: that one. He's not gonna get any all NBA love, 503 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 6: but he'll get that. And here's the other one. The 504 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 6: rule does not apply to the sixth Man of the Year, 505 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 6: Rookie of the Year, All Rookie, or Clutch Player of 506 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 6: the Year awards, so it only applies for Defensive Player, 507 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 6: Most Improved, MVP, and All NBA. Last, but not least, 508 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 6: this is one I know that's gonna blow your guys mind. 509 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 6: Victor Winn Benyama widely seen as the second favorite to 510 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 6: win the MVP award by an SGA. 511 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 3: Did you know that? 512 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 6: Coming into Friday's action, Luka Doncic has played roughly five 513 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 6: hundred more minutes than Wemby this season, and Anthony Edwards 514 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 6: and Kate Cunningham have both played roughly three hundred more 515 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 6: minutes than Victor went Benyama, guys, given what we've seen 516 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 6: and given the facts I've laid before you has your 517 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 6: opinion on the sixty five game rule changed at all? 518 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 5: No, absolutely not. 519 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: It sucks if you're a Lakers fan and you were 520 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: rooting for Luca to have a chance for any award, 521 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: or for obviously MVP. If you're a Pistons fan obviously myself, 522 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: but you're rooting Oh man, Kate Cunningham. 523 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 5: What a season. It really does. But the facts still remained, Rogie. 524 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: I keep saying this weekend week out, most MVPs have 525 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: played I think it's ninety three percent of the games 526 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 1: those particular seasons. You have one exception. I think it 527 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: was like Bill Walton back in the seventies. Guys played 528 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: majority of the games. They average around seventy six out 529 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: of the eighty two games when you look at the 530 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: history of MVPs, so to me, part of you being an. 531 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 5: MVP was being an MVA the. 532 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: Most valuable available, you know what I mean, and you 533 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: gotta play the games. You had to have had an 534 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: impact of the season for the vast I mean the 535 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: vast majority of the season. And it sucks and it's difficult, 536 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: but it also reiterates the point why are we even here? 537 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: Why are so many of the great players who would 538 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: be the MVP candidate. 539 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,959 Speaker 5: Guys, why are they all out? 540 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: I don't remember season where all of the Michael Jordan, Carlolo, 541 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: Charles Barkley, hieme O Lajuwan and whoever else would have 542 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: been a caliber if that season all being playing less 543 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: than you know, sixty SOMEI games. Like you may have 544 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: a guy that was the year such and such was hurt, 545 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: but not all the top seven eight players all you know, 546 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: with a chance to be ineligible, Like what is going 547 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 1: on that guys can't play seventy three, seventy four, seventy 548 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: five games and up, Rob, Like you know what I'm saying. 549 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: I don't remember a season where it was Shaq, Kobe, 550 00:25:55,359 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: Steve Nash, Dirk and Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan like 551 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: all of like six of the seven guys I just 552 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: named or whatever, all being playing less than sixty five games? 553 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 5: What is going on? That was the reason the. 554 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: Rule was even made, because guys weren't playing, whether they 555 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: were choosing to, whether it was low management where they 556 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: were just not playing through you know, minor injuries. 557 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 5: Yet somehow we're still here, Rob, and even more so. 558 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: Because even more big names are announcible, like, make it 559 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: make sense. 560 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 4: I just think it's an anomaly that it happens sometimes. 561 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 3: We've seen years. I remember when they invoked the in 562 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 3: the grasp rule in the NFL. 563 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 4: The reason that they put that in was because all 564 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 4: of these quarterbacks, big time quarterbacks, got hurt in the 565 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 4: same season. So they came up with the rule if 566 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 4: you just grab his jersey, it's to sack. 567 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 3: You know what I mean. We don't want you to 568 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 3: push somebody down. 569 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 4: So what happened sometimes, you know what I mean, where 570 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 4: stars can wind up go getting hurt in a particular season. 571 00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 4: But I'm sorry, it's just gotta be this way. It's unfortunate. 572 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 4: But to me, they didn't play enough games. You already 573 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 4: gave the number that most of the MVPs played. When 574 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 4: you say seventy six, seventy six is a big difference 575 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 4: from six. That's nine ten games. That's a lot of games. 576 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 4: And I get the minutes. I just think we talked 577 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 4: about it. I don't want to be the dead horse. 578 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 4: It's just the baseball with the three point one played appearances, 579 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 4: you know, make it easier so that it's not a 580 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 4: certain amount of games. You know what I mean, you 581 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 4: just need to get enough at bats in order to qualify. 582 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 4: I don't know what they could do in basketball to 583 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 4: have something like that where it's a numbers minutes shots, 584 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 4: you know what I mean, like something that would give 585 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 4: you that and then you're not with Rob g brought 586 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 4: up to five hundred more minutes and the two hundred 587 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 4: more minutes or whatever it was, right, three hundred more minutes. 588 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 3: Then maybe you could. 589 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 4: Kind of play around with that, you know what I mean, 590 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 4: rather than a number of games, and those guys were 591 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 4: probably qualified because they play enough minutes. 592 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 3: That would be my one. 593 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I do think that almost to me, 594 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: is a. 595 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 5: Way another bonus or feather in the cap four. 596 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: What Wimby is doing in such a short amount of 597 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: minutes he's averaging I think it's like thirty thirty one 598 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: minutes a game, something like that, and what he's doing 599 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: in that short amount of time, most of your starters 600 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: at that elite level, you know, you're giving it any 601 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: what thirty eight to forty one minutes somewhere in there. 602 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: So what he's doing in thirty minutes is absolutely crazy 603 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: right now, you know, giving your like twenty four to 604 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: twelve four blocks, so on and so forth. So I 605 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: think it's almost scarier when you look at wait a minute, 606 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: Womby's doing all this. His team is that great there, 607 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: you know, right behind o Homo City Thunder in the West, 608 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: and he's only playing thirty minutes a game. That's a 609 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: compliment to how good the Spurs are, compliment to how 610 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: good he is, and scary to think what he would 611 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: be like if he played another, you know, seven to 612 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: ten minutes a game. My gosh, what would he average? 613 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: Thirty five seventeen and seven blocks. So yeah, Wenby is 614 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: absolutely scary. But I just think you gotta play rob 615 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: like I shouldn't. It's okay if whatever reason or whatever 616 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: year you just didn't win MVP, you just weren't healthy enough. 617 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: Like that happens throughout years. You don't think, you don't 618 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: typically expect it to happen. There's so many MVP caliber guys, 619 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: but it's okay. It's unfortunate, but it happens, And I'm 620 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: okay with not awarding a guy who. 621 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 5: Played sixty one sixty two games MVP. 622 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: Now, the only thing I would have a conversation about 623 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: I would consider is the All NBA, because you need 624 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: fifteen guys to feel that those slots, right, you gotta 625 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: have your first five, second, five, third. 626 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 5: Team All NBA. 627 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: So if a guy played sixty games or I'd be 628 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: alright with him being All NBA, because you're not saying 629 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: you singularly were the best player this whole season. So 630 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: I would be okay if I was part of the 631 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: rules committee or whatever rethinking that one, because I gotta 632 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: slot fifteen guys anyway, So it's it's not as if 633 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: I'm singling out a singular guys the best. I would 634 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: consider that. But as far as MVP, it sucks, but 635 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: it makes sense. There was a reason we got to this. 636 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 3: Just a one time Yeah, there's a reason we're here. 637 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 4: Like before this wasn't an issue, but some people were 638 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 4: missing so many games you had to put some sort 639 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 4: of guardrails on it. 640 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 3: And that's where we are, and now it might be 641 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 3: the case this year. 642 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 4: But this is a one off, like really like the 643 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 4: idea that so many of these guys got hurt and 644 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 4: won't be able to participate as far as being the 645 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,959 Speaker 4: running for some of the major awards. It's just the 646 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 4: first time thing, you know, like a one time thing. 647 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 4: I don't think you need to relook at the rule 648 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 4: or do anything. I think that the rule makes sense 649 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 4: and it also makes people accountable and having to play, 650 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 4: and you just can't take off whenever you want and say, oh, 651 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 4: every year, I'm gonna miss fifteen games. 652 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:51,959 Speaker 5: You know what I mean, And I'm gonna agreement. 653 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 3: And that's where we were. 654 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,479 Speaker 1: It got bad, right, and it wasn't just legitimate injuries. 655 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: It was just not tonight, it's a back to back, 656 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: or this is fourth game and six. 657 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 4: It's a bad team. We can win without them, you 658 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 4: know what I mean. 659 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: It's like, No, That's what makes you an MVP is 660 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: pushing through playing through it. And that's why the season 661 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: was special, right, MVP is saying you were special that year. 662 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: You were the guy that year, and part of it 663 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: should absolutely be availability as well in my opinion. All Right, 664 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: so remember Lebron had something to say. We talked a 665 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: little bit about the city of Memphis.

I let me let me say this, Kelvin. 814 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 1: I assumed he was saying a city that is viable 815 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: with professional sports, a city that is prepared and has 816 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: the amenities that pros have become used to great hotels, 817 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: other surroundings, great restaurants. The city has a vibe to 818 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: it that we you know, that pros are used to. 819 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 5: That's what I assume. I didn't. 820 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm missing it. I definitely could be missing it. Hey, 821 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: I didn't see it that way. I thought he was saying. 822 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,279 Speaker 1: If you listen to what Anthony Anthony Edwards the other 823 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: guys they're talking about the hotels, they're making fun of them, 824 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 1: how terrible they are. They ain't got you know, they 825 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: don't have any necessarily the nice same amenities that they 826 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:43,760 Speaker 1: get in other cities. 827 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,840 Speaker 5: So that's what I thought.
