And I will just say this 8 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: for me from a sports front watching that is and 9 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, a little college hoops. The dunk contest was 10 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: rock bottom of the dunk contest, will get to three 11 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: point contest was okay, like okay, Carl Anthony Town's one 12 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: whippie damn do and Steph Curry saved the All Star 13 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: Game with and I had to looked this one up. 14 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: If you guys remember when Magic Johnson had retired with 15 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: HIV and then he came back to play in the 16 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: All Star Game and he dropped all these points on 17 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas and Michael Jordan. It was it was a 18 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: great performance. I think it was took home the m 19 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: v P folks. What Steph Curry did Sunday night was 20 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: the greatest All Star performance since that game by Magic Johnson. 21 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: Curry sixteen threes and an All Star Game high. I 22 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: don't think it's I think it's the most points ever 23 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: scored in an All Star Game. He had a fifty 24 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: burger and he was hunting the game winner. Had I 25 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: think he missed two in the final minute With that 26 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: exciting elam ending, Lebron hits a fade away game winner. 27 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: I love how he licks his fingers as he gets 28 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: the ball on the uh not really quite the elbow 29 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: elbow extended against Zach Lavine hits a tough fade away. 30 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna miss it, and it went in. 31 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: It was kind of exciting. The the ending was great. Yeah, 32 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: I get it. You know. The ending of the elam 33 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: with the change of got to get to this target 34 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: point total has made it more exciting, no doubt about it. 35 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: But folks, all anybody's gonna remember is Steph Curry's three 36 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: point assault on the record books. And I know Rob 37 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: G's probably just like rolling his eyes, like, oh man, 38 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: more Curry worship and the you know, the seven Curry 39 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: haters left in the crowd. Maybe it's eight, I don't 40 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: you know. It's down to six, seven or eight that 41 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: you can't not love Steph Curry, folks. The guy was unbelievable, Like, 42 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: we just never seen anything like this. You the stuff 43 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: he's doing, you can't do in the NFL, you can't 44 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: do in Major League Baseball. He's firing thirty five forty footers, 45 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: turning around with the ball in midair because he knows 46 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: it's going in and heading up court. I mean, Rob, 47 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how anybody can come away from this 48 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: game like, Oh, I'm a huge Steph Curry fan. I'm 49 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: he's just he's He's unbelievable. Yeah, I mean, what Steph 50 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: Curry has done for the three point shot is incredible. 51 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: I mean, if you watched anything else Sturday night, I 52 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: know we're not talking about that, but I wish they 53 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: would have made the three point the three point contest 54 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: the main event rather than slapdown contest, because that's what 55 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: Steph Curry has done to the three ball, Like he's 56 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: made it such an experience to watch some guys go 57 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: nuclear like that quick correction. Though he did not break 58 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: the record, the record is still fifty two. Who Athony 59 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: Davis at fifty two and let me just say that 60 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: I was really into what he was doing, Like some 61 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: of those shots were incredible. And you know, I'm not 62 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: the biggest Steph Curry fan, but I was having a 63 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: ball watched him put it up like that until I 64 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: went on your Instagram stories and you called one of 65 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: his shots the greatest shot in NBA history, and I 66 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I'm not a Steph Curry 67 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: fan anymore. I've never seen anything that any honest, fort 68 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: bomb turns around with the ball still ascending. Mind you, 69 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: it's not even on its way down. He knew it 70 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: was going in, and then he did it later from 71 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: the corner. By the way, that bomb, if you look 72 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: at the face on honest just put that in the 73 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: night Smith Hall of Fame. Janice is looking at him 74 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: like is this guy from planet Earth? And just it 75 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: is just then looks for the bench like what am 76 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: I witnessing? This is otherworldly stuff. I thought it was 77 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: the greatest shot I've ever seen in NBA history. Fact 78 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: not Michael Jordan's switched hands in mid air against the Lakers. 79 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: Uh not that Definitely not the Kyrie Irving shot to 80 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: beat the seventy three win Warriors in game seven. Um, 81 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: not the Robert Ory three against the Kings. I know 82 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: you remember that Robert Elementary School. Um, the greatest is 83 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: there a Kobe shot? I'm missing that you that you 84 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: want to pump up? Not like a super memorial me 85 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: in his game winner against Phoenix with that wasn't that? 86 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: That wasn't as cool as the Steph Curry all started 87 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: game three pointer. Let me tell you that one. There's 88 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: a few shots remember that. Look away. I'm gonna I'm 89 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: gonna go down on my deathbed saying you know what, 90 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: the greatest shot in NBA history was that one Steph 91 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: Curry ball in the All Star Game. It's funny. I 92 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: had some friends over. Um they were from San Francisco 93 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: and they were visiting. Um, you know, lifelong friends, and 94 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: they're not really big NBA fans, although one of them 95 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: works in San Franz, like two blocks from the Chase Center. Um, 96 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: and you know, I have the game on and we're 97 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: watching and not really watching, and it's the All Star Game, 98 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: and then Curry starts cooking and I'm like, all right, Bryce, 99 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta trump a volume and everybody got 100 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: into it.

I just love the cut of his jib, 170 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: the way he moves and in the air, like his 171 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: space Jam dunks. I think it was. I will occasionally 172 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: just go on YouTube and look it up and be like, 173 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: just Marvel, like Zach Levine is, I mean, way better 174 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 1: than the jokers who were dunking Saturday night. I'm sorry 175 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: you know, um Cole Anthony, let me put on tims 176 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: By the way, bro, it took you like three minutes 177 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: to tie the tims I was like, this is already 178 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: killing the vibe. And then he proceeds to miss the 179 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: dunk with his dad holding up the ball and Rob. 180 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: The bottom line is you can't open everybody opened the 181 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: dunk contest by missing their first two dunks. I'm almost 182 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: certain everybody did, and I just was out. I was 183 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: out on it instantly. Did you did you watch it? 184 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: Or no? No? Of course you're kidding me. What. Once 185 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: I knew who the field was, I said, let me 186 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: watch the three point contest, and I was. I actually 187 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: put some not a lot of money, but some money 188 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: on kar Anthony Town so that hit. So shout out 189 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: to that one, um. But once I saw the names 190 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: in the dunk contest, that no interesting watching it, and 191 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: thankfully I didn't because I read afterwards that I don't 192 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: know if this is true, but I think it's true. 193 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: It was the first Slam contest ever without a fifty 194 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: score anywhere in the dunk Come now, I don't really, 195 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if that's true. I don't 196 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: after I'm not going to go back and watch old 197 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 1: dunk contests, but I've read that it was the first 198 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: time ever they didn't have a single fifty dunk in 199 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: the entire contest. It's funny. But I was watching with 200 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: my daughter and I'm like, oh, yo, dunk contest, it 201 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: iss fun There should be some cool show. So and 202 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: you're just like waiting and she's like, everybody's missing, Like 203 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: this is not good. I was like, I know this 204 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: is bad, and I went back to Honestly, at a 205 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: commercial break, I went to watch Jack Reacher. Are you 206 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: watching that on Amazon? Probme? Not yet? Not yet. I 207 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: just finished a series. It's awesome, man, Honestly, it's really good. 208 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 1: I really only have time to watch like two shows 209 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: at a time because it takes me all week to 210 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: watch one episode. So the two shows that I'm watching 211 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: right now are Billions and Um the sequel I guess 212 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: to the show Power, and it's called Force, so I'm 213 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: not watching that one. Interesting, I am not familiar with 214 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: Force or I've heard of Power. And my brother tried 215 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: to talk me into that UM show we're gonna start 216 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: this week Yellow Jackets. You know anything about Um? And 217 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: then someone told me about UM. Damn it. I already 218 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: forgot the name of it. It's about last Night. Maybe 219 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: does that sound right? Is that the Steph Curry show? 220 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: Because that's his show is called about last Night? No? No, no, 221 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: it's definitely not a Steph Curry show. This is basically yeah, 222 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 1: I don't even really know what it's about. But a 223 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: couple of people told me it's a good show, so 224 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: check it out. Um, but I'll say this, if they're 225 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: re airing the Curry All Star Game today, I'll probably 226 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: watch it. Well, I mean, why not. The guy made 227 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: sixteen threes, and like I know, there was really no defense, 228 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: but still there's a million mysteries. The mellow ball hit 229 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: the side of a backboard, like a lot of these 230 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: guys are breaking up, you know what I will say. 231 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: And like to your point, not hardly any defense being 232 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: played in All Star Game that that's on. That's true. 233 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: But in that third quarter when he really got going, 234 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: I saw a couple of hands in his face and 235 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: it's kind of trapping him off the screens like they 236 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: didn't want disease. Deep Curry nail like fifteen threes, which 237 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: end up making fifteen. But like all in one quarter, 238 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: there was a little bit of defense being picked up 239 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: in that third. In the second, I think he four 240 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: straight trips, he banged threes and was like dancing on 241 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: the court. And you know, at that point, like LaMelo 242 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: ball just keeps coming down in jack and threes and 243 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: he's you know, probably like one for five or whatever. 244 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: And then you just see like Zach Leavin missing open three, 245 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I just robbed. I'm sorry to go 246 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: back to Curry and make it about him again, But 247 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: the guys are missing ordinary shots. He's making extraordinary shots. 248 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: It's just I mean all, I'm sorry if they air it, 249 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: I guarantee you. We should make a bet. Will the 250 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 1: montage of Curry three's from this All Star Game hit 251 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: five million views by week's end on YouTube? Mm hmm, 252 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: I will say no, I'll take the over five Okay, 253 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: I haven't. There's no games the next two nights. The 254 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: NBA honks. This will be embedded in every story everywhere, 255 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: you know. I think it's got a chance at five million. 256 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: The topic. I have a bet for you. It will 257 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: be a gentleman's bet. I think Steph had fifteen threes 258 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: right last night in the All Star Game. Whatever, Okay, 259 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: in his next three regular season games, he won't hit 260 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: fifteen threes. Probably, I mean, how do Curry end up 261 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: playing thirty six minutes exactly? You know? And it's like 262 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler's like, yeah, I'll take nine minutes. Lebron's playing 263 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: chess man. He's like, we might get him in the 264 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 1: first round. Let's kill his legs here in the All 265 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: Star Game. Yeah, by the way, Lebron played thirty six too, 266 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: but uh, Anthony Davison street close. Um, just to print 267 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: it out there, low of two minutes played by Chris Paul. 268 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: But apparently that's due to injury. I don't know. I'm stunned. 269 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: Chris Paul stunned. We just talked about Chris Paul injuries 270 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: last week. I said in the interview. I think it 271 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: was with Buker and maybe even with Eddie House, but 272 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: I was like the Chris Paul injuries tough man. The 273 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: guys heard every year Chris Paul out six to eight 274 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: weeks with a right thumb fracture lost amid the Steph 275 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: Cla Curry flurry of threes? Is that the point guard? 276 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: Are we say? Are we call him the most important player? 277 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: Maybe not the best, Devin Booker is better, um, but 278 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: Chris Paul is the most important? Would you agree, Rob? Yes? Yeah, 279 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: So the most important player on the team with the 280 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: best record in the league just lost their point guard 281 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: for sixt eight weeks. Seems like a big deal. Obviously, 282 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: if Draymond Creed Green could get healthy Warriors now could 283 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: slide into the eighth spot all of a sudden. Rob Again, 284 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: I'm not hyping the Lakers. It's a long shot that 285 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: they get to the finals. Memphis Grizzlies are young. Um 286 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: never want a playoff series. I do not believe. I 287 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: think they might have got one game off Utah last year. 288 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not even sure. They're young. They don't really 289 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: know how to win yet in the playoffs. Chris Paul injury. 290 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: Let's see what's up with Draymond Green. I know Anthony Davis, 291 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: sit down. Rick Buker laughed at me when I floated Lakers. 292 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: You're a Laker, Honk, what say you? Rob? If all 293 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: of those situations come to pass, specifically Chris Paul and 294 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: Draymond Greens, then it is not out of the question 295 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: at all, whether whether or not Anthony Davis or not. 296 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: Because lebron the Anthony. You know, obviously they would need him. 297 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: But if he's not full all caps Anthony Davis like 298 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: you'd want him to be hitting into the postseason. If 299 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: he comes back and he's like of what he was, 300 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: they could absolutely make a run because the postseason, forget 301 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: the regular season, the postseason is all about matchups and 302 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: which guys can step up in those certain situations. And 303 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: no matter who you roll out there in the Western Conference, 304 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: I agree with you. Like you told Rick Buker, Lebron 305 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: James and Anthony Davis, even if he's a limited version 306 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: of himself, are gonna most likely be two of the 307 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: three best players on the floor at any one time, 308 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: So you have to like their odds, especially when the playoffs, 309 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: the game slows down, the lakers lack of foot speed 310 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: on the perimeter is not as important because the nobody's 311 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: really getting up and down anymore. Um, and you have 312 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: Lebron James, So I would not be shocked if, like 313 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: you said, Chris Paul is really out for two months 314 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: or at least two months. Draymond Green, you don't really 315 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: mess around when it comes to back injuries. So I 316 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: would not be shocked to see the Lakers make a 317 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: little bit of a run in the postseason if that 318 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: comes out in other NBA news. And this is UM, 319 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I wasn't as surprised by a lot 320 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: of people by this, but social media kind of went 321 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: bonkers when Lebron announced that he's gonna be done with 322 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: the Lakers in two years, and whoever signs Brawny his son, 323 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: who's currently a junior in high school, that's where he's 324 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: gonna play one season, uh and wrap up his career year. Now, 325 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: to anybody who's been paying attention, this is not a surprise. 326 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: Brownie blew up in like eighth grade. I mean probably 327 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: before that, but by eighth grade, it was pretty clear 328 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: this guy is going to be in the NBA, and 329 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: colleges are not acting, they're not barely recruiting him. Not obviously, 330 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: he's super talented. He's on one of the best teams 331 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: in the nation, if not the best. But it's like, oh, okay, 332 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: he's going to the NBA. Now, I don't currently you know, 333 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: some of these ranking projections of high school kids, he's 334 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: like in the forties or fifties or maybe even sixties, 335 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: I don't know. But who really cares. He's on a 336 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: stacked team, so he's not being forced to score a 337 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: billion points. The kid is really really talented. Um, is 338 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: he gonna be a lottery pick? I don't think so 339 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: as of right now. I don't think so. Could he 340 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: be one in you know, a year and a half 341 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: in the draft, happens. Of course. Yeah, listen, you know 342 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: kids can grow anthy. Davis grew like eight or nine 343 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: inches in one year and went from like a guard 344 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: to uh, you know, a center who was the best 345 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: player in the country for Kentucky as a freshman. So, 346 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: like I, lot of things can happen. I would almost 347 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,239 Speaker 1: take it to the bank that somebody's taking Lebron's kid 348 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: in the first round, because Lebron is just gonna sign 349 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: with them so they can play together. Like Ken Griffey Jr. 350 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: Lebron has been saying this for years. He looked up 351 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: to Ken Griffey Jr. He wants to play with his son. 352 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: This is not like news. But Laker fans are like 353 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: he's leaving, Like, why is this a surprise? He's here 354 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: this year. He's definitely here next year. Okay, after that, 355 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: we'll see. Now there's a chance Brawny is not Ken 356 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: griffe Jr. And you know, nobody wants to really draft 357 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: him in the first round. There's a chance. I mean 358 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: I would probably say no, think about this, just consider 359 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: it if you are. I can't say Memphis. My default 360 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: is in Memphis Grizzlies, but they're good, so I can't 361 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: like use them. Um let me look at the NBA standings, Robin, 362 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: I'll pick a team here. They've been good. They're like 363 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: a Frank They're about to be in the play us 364 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: right there, like the Tenant. Okay, Sacramento. No, no, this 365 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: is the classic or Lando. Oh no, let's go Sacramento. 366 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: Let's go Sacramento. So the Sacramental Kings, who can never 367 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: get out of their own way, have d Let's just 368 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: say the eighth pick. You know, for a fact, if 369 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: you draft Lebron James's son Lebron is coming to play 370 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: in Sacramento. You know your your media coverage you're gonna 371 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: get is gonna be enormous. You know, I'm every game 372 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: is going to be like a selloup. They're gonna have 373 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 1: national TV games all over the place. I don't want 374 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: to say it's selling your soul, rob But if you're 375 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: the Kings, you've got to do this, right. If you're 376 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: the King's a team like that, yes, you gotta do this. City. 377 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: Of course, you're a team that had any level of success, 378 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: even if it's just making the playoffs one and done 379 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: like Washington every year, year and out. You do not 380 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: do this because the Lakers are seeing this now, and 381 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: I know that the Lebrons want to Lebron. He got 382 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: a lot of the headlines, but lost in the sauce 383 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: of all of that was Lebron flows the idea of 384 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: returning back to Cleveland to the athletic. Eric Pinkts, friend 385 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: of the Show, put out a big piece on Bleacher 386 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: Report talking about how Lebron James, Rich Paul and Clutch 387 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,719 Speaker 1: Sports are very upset with Rob Polinka, and they've been 388 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 1: upset with him for a while. But the tipping point 389 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: was that they refused to make the Russell Westbrook for 390 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: John waltrade, not necessarily because it's gonna make them much 391 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: better on the court, but because it would have freed 392 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: up John Wall, who was a Clutch Sports client, to 393 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: get out of a bad situation. So whenever you get 394 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: Lebron James onto your team, and Laker fans were learning 395 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: this now if you didn't already know, he pays the 396 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: cost to be the boss. Like you, you sell your soul. 397 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: When you get Lebron James, you are beholden to him. 398 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: Draft picks apparently don't matter, as Lebron James has repeatedly 399 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 1: subtweeted the last what is it seventy two hours? Um, 400 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: you're gonna overpay for guys that don't really make a 401 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: lot of sense, But because Lebron wants them and he 402 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: says he needs them, you're gonna do it. And then 403 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: once he decides that this team is no longer good 404 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: enough for him, he'll leave you high and dry holding 405 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: the bag and your your franchise will be in ruins. 406 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: And I I can't hate him for that. If you 407 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: are working rob at an organization where things are great, 408 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: and you're bringing in your friends who are smart, and 409 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: you've got a great set up, and all of a 410 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: sudden people leave you, guys have a bad year, things 411 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: start to go awry. You're looking at a jump ship too, 412 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: are you not? You look at a better opportunity, and 413 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: there are always better opportunities. So, like, I can't hate 414 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: Lebron if that's his game plan. Now I know he 415 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: put together the roster. I think it's a little weak. 416 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: This whole like taking failed shots at Rob Polinka. Hey, guys, yes, 417 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: I know Lebron. You came and helped deliver a championship 418 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: to Lakers in the bubble, okay, and you know we 419 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: could split hairs over who brought in what or who 420 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: brought in who, whether it's Blink or Rob, rob Olinka 421 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: or Lebron. But I'll say this unequivocally, the last big 422 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: move that the Lakers let Lebron and Clutch and a 423 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: D have was the Russell Westbrook trade and that has 424 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: not looked good. So guess what pipe down over there? 425 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: Play some basketball? Okay, we'll we'll try to handle this now. 426 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: Can they I don't know, can Anthony Davis stay healthy. 427 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: We'll see if A D can stay healthy and Russell 428 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: Westbrook can finally understand that he's better as a sixth man. 429 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: But again, like Lebron is kind of well. I mean 430 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: all the stories that read, um, Lebron and a D 431 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: met with Russell Westbrook and that's how we ended up 432 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: in l A Lebron and a D want him? Right? 433 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: Am I wrong? So why why are we bashing Polinka 434 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: with with all this stuff about their Uh? The guy 435 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: in O K see Sam Presti one of the most 436 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: overrated gms in basketball because he got Josh Kiddy whooped 437 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: the damn dude. Josh Giddy's awesome again. I saw him 438 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: the NBL great player. Last I checked Oklahoma was eighteen 439 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: and forty. They have not have they want to playoff 440 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: series since since Kevin Durant left. I don't think they. 441 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: He and Sam Presti also traded James Harden, did he not? Yes, 442 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: So let's just stop with the Sam Presty worship. Okay, Yeah, 443 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: I mean, look, when I'm never gonna say anything overly 444 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: negati about Lebron because the Clutch Sports presents the Lakers 445 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 1: end up getting a championship in you know that they 446 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: they worked out, I will say, and I've said this 447 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: on this pod several times since then, though, every bad 448 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: move that's come out of Los Angeles has been as 449 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: a direct result of Lebron and Anthony Davis and Clutched Sports. 450 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: The Mantras hare signing was a disaster. The Andre Drummond 451 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: pickup was a disaster. The Russell Westbrook Now pick up 452 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: has been a disaster. So you know, at some point, 453 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: you know, you would think that Lebron, after whatever twenty 454 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: years in the NBA, he'd he'd understand that if you're 455 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: going to play this game and you're gonna want to 456 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: have all of the power and all the kudos when 457 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: things go good, Eventually I'd like to see him see 458 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: it through when things go bad? Is that it just 459 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: jumping ship? So let's clear this up and again we'll 460 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: have plenty of time to discuss this Eddie House did 461 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: float it? Lacshire trade a d uh? If you're looking 462 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: at we've got one more year of Lebron and a 463 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: d um year one bubble. We won the championship year 464 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: two leading the Sun's in the second round. A D 465 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: goes down, we lose your three. A D goes down again. 466 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: Like I I don't want to say run it back, 467 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: tinker around the edges, but unequivocally, Rob I say, you 468 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: do not even consider trading Anthony Davis. I just I mean, 469 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: you're plus you're not gonna get like who who who? 470 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: You're not gonna get like Devin Booker. Obviously they wouldn't 471 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: trade for him. Um is there even a real there's 472 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: not a realistic trading you could make that would make 473 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: you better than what you currently have. I mean, you're 474 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: not getting your kich again. I don't know how he 475 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: fits with Lebron anyway. You're not getting like Kawhile or 476 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: do you're not getting Luca don Che. It's like, what 477 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: are you doing. Who are you getting for Anthony Davis? 478 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: The stars, the don't the starts? Just fetch draft picks now, 479 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: rob and and salary cap fodder. Like I just I 480 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: don't know who's out there. I'll tell you what I 481 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: would trade Lebron before I trade Anthony Davis. I just 482 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: does he happen just because of his age? Like that? 483 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing. Like, you know, if a d 484 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: only gives you fifty games a year for the next 485 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: four years, you know what, that's two more years than 486 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: Lebron is gonna give you. What's the market like for 487 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis for Lebron James? I don't know. I mean, 488 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: I mean here making like he's one of the highest 489 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: paid players in the league, as he should be. He's 490 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: also the biggest star and arguably still the best player 491 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: on some nights. So but what are you going to 492 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: trade him to a crappy franchise to recoup a bunch 493 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: of picks? You couldn't. You couldn't do that because then 494 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: you'd piss off Clutch Sports and the Anthy days would 495 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: leave in two years after that anyways, so you'd have 496 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: to be like, hey, Lebron will send you back to Cleveland. 497 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: If we get like Evan Mobley or something like that. 498 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: I don't think that would ever actually happen. But if 499 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: I was running the team and they said, hey, we 500 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: have to trade somebody, I'm trading Lebron before I trade interesting. 501 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 502 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,719 Speaker 1: the nation.

We should get 505 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: to John Howard before step Curry wiped him off the 506 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: face of the earth. Yesterday. Joan Howard was like, oh 507 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: my gosh, you gotta fire him. First of all, let's 508 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: be realistic. This is It was not a closed fist 509 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: punch guard. The coach of Wisconsin did put his hands 510 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: on Howard first and stopped him, and Howard basically was like, 511 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: don't you believe in touch me? Pointed at him, and 512 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: then it escalated. Not a good look for Howard. He's 513 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: probably gonna get a two or three weeks suspension. But 514 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: this firing stuff is way overboard, is it not? Yeah, 515 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: fire that guy, come on, you know what. I would 516 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: not fire him, but I would not be surprised if 517 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: he does get fired because This is not the first 518 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: time he's had an incident like this. Now, this is 519 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: the first time he's actually put hands on somebody like 520 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: that and open hand. Um Rick James slapped somebody. But 521 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: you know he had that issue. I believe it was 522 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: last season. Was it marked Turgent? I think, I think, 523 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: I'm almost positive. I have to look it up. Yeah, yeah, 524 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: so I'm almost positive that he had an issue with him. 525 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: And it's not so much the act, Like the act 526 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: was embarrassing and it's it's bad for Michigan, But it 527 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: was the defiance in the post game, like refusing to apologize, 528 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: refusing to take any accountability, saying calling out the cell 529 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: defense card I thought was incredible. You know, like that 530 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: this guy who's seven inches shorter than you with with 531 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: four people in between you, that you reached across the 532 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: slap like you really felt threatened in that situation. Come on, man. 533 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: But I would not be surprised. I don't expect it 534 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: to happen. I think it's gonna be a length suspension, 535 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: like you said, But I wouldn't be surprised if Michigan 536 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: overreacts to it and says, you know what, we can't 537 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: have this kind of black eye on our franchise, on 538 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: our program, So we're gonna move on quick. Thing. I 539 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: do wonder how much of it is not living up 540 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: to expectations. Michigan obviously was a top ten projected team. 541 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: They brought back a ton of dudes. They're fourteen and eleven. 542 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: I don't think that they're far from a lock to 543 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: make the n c A Tournament at this point. Um, 544 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: you know, I know they played an absolutely brutal schedule, 545 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: um the third toughest schedule in the country. But at 546 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: the same time, fourteen and eleven, I'm sure you know 547 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: Juwan is a little ticked off about the way I 548 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: guess Wisconsin was calling time outs late to kind of 549 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: rub in the victory or what have you. Like, you 550 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: gotta control your emotions. Obviously, I can't throw a punch there, 551 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: but the reality, yeah, I just I find it hard 552 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: to believe that they'll fire him. But I've been wrong 553 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: in these things before. Who knows. By the way, I 554 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: think Michigan's president was fired recently for an email scandal. 555 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: He was like romancing some woman in one of his 556 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: underlings and like left this massive email trail, and the 557 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: emails are just like, good, dis gracious bro. This is 558 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: bad like to company, like to Michigan e du you 559 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: know it's dub like what a moron? Um. So I 560 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: don't know if if whoever's up there, is they going 561 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: to be able to fire him? But um yeah, that's 562 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to money. If there's a big 563 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: fat cat donor who says, you know what, we don't 564 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: want him on the sidelines anymore, they'll be out. That's 565 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: all it takes these days. I mean, the presidents are 566 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: just you know, placeholders for the oil you know, tycoon 567 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,479 Speaker 1: that's behind them, don't any ten million dollars a year 568 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: or something. I guess this situation between these two coaches 569 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: they don't really like each other. Um. Somebody put together 570 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: a compilation of the Michigan coach Howard and the Wisconsin 571 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: coach guard Uh their interactions in recent seasons, and apparently 572 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: they've all been kind of frosty or like, I don't 573 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: really like you. I don't respect one of those deals. 574 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: I don't know why Howard and himv beef, but I 575 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: guess Guard had had enough of it and put his 576 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: hands on which listen, so we put their hands on you. 577 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: This you know what's funny is it wasn't even guard 578 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: who got the hands. It was the assistant. Yeah, it 579 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: was Crumble Law or something like yeah. So Jowan Howard 580 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: is like, hey man, these hands are rated e for 581 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: everyone's just gotta be guarding be whoever gets near me. 582 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you're not in the streets anymore, dude.
