The back of the day, it 57 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: was the Sea Bring convertible. Yeah yeah, WHOA like it 58 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: was like a luxury car. But it wasn't right that 59 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: that that changed the game. Let's see, Mr Smith, I 60 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: could put you in a Baja Blast colored Sea Bring 61 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: with or without convertible, which is also the same colors 62 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: of the uh, the out of style Steve Harvey fourteen 63 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: button suits.

And it's like even Len, 88 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: I mean, Lebron had the all white with the you know, 89 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: fifteen buds. He looked like he was just came out 90 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: of heaven or Uh. There's a great clip, great little 91 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: piece of archival footage of David Stern Commissioner David Stern, 92 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: uh during the Lebron draft backstage. I guess it is 93 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: before the draft, coming back seeing Lebron in his all 94 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: white outfit, asking to try the jacket on. Here. Let's 95 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: play it real quick. Let's see what I see what 96 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: you can do with it? Are you? Are you sym 97 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: do it? I can do it. I think you can 98 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: do it. All right. I'm going to conduct the draft 99 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: in this. I mean, if anybody can do it, you can, 100 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: all right. A lot of things I love about that. Um. 101 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: First of all, David Stern looks ridiculous. Uh, but you know, 102 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: but uh, intentionally so in the in the big white jacket, 103 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: he looks like a kids getting dressed up in their 104 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: dad's clothes. Also like the end, the last clip, the 105 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: last quote from Lebron saying if anyone can do it, 106 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: you can, because it reminds me of the Stern era 107 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: when it was just like all the players were like, yeah, 108 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: but you're the boss man, right, You're you are incredibly 109 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: powerful and you're all of our boss which this kind 110 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: of like endearing, uh in in the modern world, but 111 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: very cool. I think this is me man, and I 112 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: sound old now, but I think you can't go wrong, 113 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: you go timeless because we might be saying that now 114 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: but in twenty years to be like, what the hell 115 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: are they wearing? All right? Right, I mean it's a 116 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: little weird. It's a little weird. But social media probably 117 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: too because the world is so smaller now you can 118 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: go along and see what the styles are in that 119 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: versus like imagine showing up in ninety one and you 120 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: don't know what the number three draft pick is wearing. 121 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: You might be wearing the same thing as you both 122 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: got it from the mall. You know, Chess king, who 123 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: knows exactly shout out to Chess king. Um yeah, I 124 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: mean I was gonna say, this might not even be 125 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: about them getting enough money to do it. It might 126 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: be about like, you know, enough stylists getting smart enough 127 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: and like social media and marketing, like doing that stuff 128 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: well enough to realize, oh, I am absolutely dropping the 129 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: ball if I let this person dress themselves instead of 130 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: like putting my you know, my fit on them. You 131 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: guys should do this. Um, you should rank the draft 132 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: class for the clothing. So if Lebron is a one 133 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: in basketball, maybe it's clothing was at eight and then 134 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: measure it up and read re class to see who 135 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: like really came with it. Even very progression of style. 136 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: I know some people love her hate Westbroker Ways outfits, 137 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: but it's like, did they progress? Was it? Like, oh, 138 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: he's there a new point like andre be thousand, almost 139 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: like it was a woman inspired it? Was it a 140 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,559 Speaker 1: championship run? Was it? You know? Maybe a flagrant fouled. 141 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: They're like, you know what about just started dressing crazy? 142 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: It's something here, man, It's across it's across the Then yeah, 143 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: there's something to think about those dimensions of of their 144 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: game on and off the court, for sure. I mean 145 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: we know Dennis Rodman. You know, he did the old 146 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: dress up in the himself with the dress in this 147 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: and net and stuff like that, so you know there's 148 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: something there. I don't know. I don't think I would 149 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: listen to that episode, but maybe you just gave us 150 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: in a sign and then told us he wouldn't listen 151 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: to it. And yeah, if you want to embarrass yourself 152 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: making that go ahead, that's your prodec And I actually 153 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: you might taking my name off this episode. So my 154 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: overall philosophy with the draft is nobody knows anything, including me, 155 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: especially me. So you know, I get excited about players 156 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: because I want I watched the highlights and then I 157 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: don't really think about it until the next season when 158 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: I start hearing their names like pop up and they're 159 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: like yo, Actually, Anthony had Wards. I know we said 160 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: that he like was a football player first and wasn't 161 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: that interested in it, but it turns out he's really 162 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 1: good and the fact that he's a autball player is 163 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: pretty cool and he plays unlike anyone you've ever seen. 164 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, I don't know, man, I've I've been 165 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: wrong so many times before. I'm not I'm not here 166 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: to like have a hot take. This just so funny, man. 167 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: I know you guys, you know basketball, it's so weird. 168 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 1: Who can do what at the next level of every stuff. 169 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: So not even just from pro I mean college to proble, 170 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: even high school to to to college. And then it's 171 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: like something just clips from these guys is that they 172 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: find their way or they find a team. It's I 173 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: was getting not super depressed, joggling depressed when you realize 174 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: like if certain guys were drafted in certain teams in 175 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: certain situations, what would have happened versus you know. But 176 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: I said to myself the other day literally Anthony, but 177 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: he was a number one draft pick, and I was like, 178 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: how does somebody go from like being number one? You know, 179 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: was it was a weak draft. He came at un 180 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: l V. But it was like if he was drafted seventeen, 181 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: he've been a journey man. It was like if he 182 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: was in this position, like you can't you know, go 183 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: from number one to the n b A. It's weird 184 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: because it's like scouts or whatever, even you know, these 185 00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: guys are n so hot then use you guys were 186 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: under apted and it's like, you know, look at Draymond 187 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: you know, sitting around is like you know, if he 188 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: had a different situation, different you know, areas, so that 189 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: you never know. It's just it's it's it's sometimes disheartening 190 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: to me because we throw them as a bus or 191 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: we you know, there are people. First, I'm friends. I'm 192 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: sure like you guys have friends a lot of these players, 193 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: and I see the humans side of it, So I'm 194 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: a fan. But you know we boot these guys. But 195 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: you know that nobody wants to suck. Oh, I want 196 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: to come out and to one point, you know, three 197 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: rebounds and you know, five turnovers the game, but it's 198 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: that human element of like you never know, you know, 199 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: teams needs or even just think about how I thought 200 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: about this yesterday. Think about how the game has changed. 201 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: If you were four or five, you were told just 202 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: getting the block, can wait till they feed you, and 203 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: that's literally what your game was. Or you know now 204 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: if you're seven three seven four, you might even have 205 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: a spot in the NBA, which is crazy, like can 206 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: you dribble like a point guard? Martin just standing there 207 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: just with his hands up like, no, they're gonna run 208 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: picking rolls, You're gonna be out of place. So even 209 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: that it's so weird how you know, basketball and supports 210 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: have evolved in real time, and it's like people who 211 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: get stuck by the wayside. I mean, I'm not saying 212 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: I was a baller. I tapped out in tenth grade, 213 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: but I'm six three. I stopped playing basketball because I 214 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: was like, I'm not tall enough. Not saying that by 215 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: no means, but it's like six three year is not short. 216 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: You read the Tale of the Tape on you in 217 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: the NBA draft, come by here, like this wouldn't look 218 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: good for me. It's like, we don't know why he's here. 219 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: I'll tell you a very transparent story. I was six 220 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: three in the fifth grade and I was but my again, 221 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: I was. I was on the block, so people would 222 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: come and watch me play next year six three, sixth grade, 223 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: seventh grade six three, grade six three, Like, well where's that? 224 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: Where's tall dude? Like no skills, said I could. I 225 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: could go in the block, but I'm guarding six nine guys. 226 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: But even then, like you know, the game has changed 227 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: a U ball. I was at the very beginning of 228 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: it where you had to travel and play y're around 229 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: to kind of you know, do that, but skill set 230 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,599 Speaker 1: if you were big at coach didn't care. He was 231 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 1: like some guy to talk, you know, Jim class you 232 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: know also talk like hell he saw a tall black here, 233 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: Like get on the block. They'll feed you the ball, 234 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,719 Speaker 1: run the court. You know, we're doing a one three one. 235 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: Whether it's your skills that are not and those are 236 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: just what you to do versus these camps that are 237 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: bad that you have to start now with third grade 238 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: of franking fifth graders and they're traveling. You know, you're around, 239 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: you have to keep up with it. Um. But yeah, 240 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: I think about that often. I don't know why, but 241 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: it's it's it's like, you know, how many players would 242 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: would be ballers that even not to take over even 243 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: I was thinking about like the second round. You guys 244 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: saw the draft. Everyone they're like, oh, it's a stats 245 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: away pick. He's a developed pick. Like it's like, why 246 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: do we even have the second round draft if you're 247 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: draving these guys not to bring them over from maybe 248 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: ever not you know, if you're you're three or year two. 249 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I asked 250 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: myself the same question all the time because you see 251 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: people with such promise and then like you're saying, they're 252 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: people first, right, and the pressure of you know, going 253 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: to a team as like you know, a top five pick, 254 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: and then they're in the middle of a rebuild and 255 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: all the fans everybody are putting like all of their 256 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: emotional energy into you being a fully developed product. I'd 257 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: say most people can't handle that. Your nineteen with with 258 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: millions of dollars of fans and you're going to the city. 259 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: Maybe they blew you because they want this other person 260 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: into that. The veteran don't want you there. The coach 261 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: might wanted you, but the GM didn't want you. Like 262 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: I said, it's your nineteen, like you're trying to figure 263 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: out real life, real time as it is. Yeah, it's hard. However, 264 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: as a fan, you better come on because you're on 265 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: my team now. Hey, but I'm not time to wait 266 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: wait too many years now. I mean as a Cavs fan, 267 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: you were involved in probably the greatest draft moment of 268 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: all time with Lebron being the number one pick, the 269 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: home town hero, you know, the the anecdote I always 270 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: love to tell because it like drives home something we're 271 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: talking about before we start recording. That is, like I 272 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: always talked about how Lebron is underrated because he essentially, 273 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: for the last five years of his not being a 274 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: professional basketball player, lived in the True Men show. Like 275 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: his hometown had billboards up that were like Nike or 276 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: Adidas only trying to advertise to him. The whole world 277 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: was watching him and trying to get his attention as 278 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: a child, and he came out and became the best 279 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: or second best player of all time. It's it is bonkers. 280 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: It's also whild like just to think of, like what 281 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: it must have been like as a Cavs fan when 282 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: that pick feiling. You guys laughs, what was that? Like? 283 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: I mean, my and my dad are best friends. All 284 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: of our best moments are sports. We lost it. We 285 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: lost because it was like my dad's line was like 286 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: we finally won, like we finally got something. You know, 287 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: we had to drive the fumble, we have the shot. 288 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: You know, we have you know, art model taking our 289 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: Browns to Baltimore. You know we had you know that 290 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: the Indians coming, you know, two outs away for winning 291 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: the World Series. I mean, let's put a respective. We 292 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: hadn't won a championship in fifty years. My dad would 293 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: always say, I want to win the championsh before I died, right, 294 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: he was getting up there, so we will be you know, 295 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner. Like well, I mean, in life, you could 296 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: do whatever you want, right, you could. You could work hard, 297 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: you could do this. But I can't control my sports teams. 298 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: I can't um. I could care a lot as I can. 299 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: I could wear the purpen now. Yeah, I can go 300 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: out there, I could rude, I can talk tomake to 301 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: you guys, but I can't control what happens on the 302 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: on the court. And so for us it was like, man, 303 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: like we got this guy.

But then 323 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: they come back after the letter and the sand script 324 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: and the written stuff, Like I don't know if I 325 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: would have come back, and he came back just for 326 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: us about how you want to He had no reason 327 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: to come back. He did it. He came solely for 328 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: the fans of Cleveland and then succeed on it and 329 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: win one of the greatest, most unlikely titles of all time, 330 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: beat the seventy two win down three one. I have 331 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: a remember to this day, me and my dad embraised. 332 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: I mean I was out there with the parade. Tom 333 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: Brady maybe what he did with Tampa, maybe that's just 334 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: a short window But to me, the greatest sports story, 335 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: I don't care what you say, is that Lebron story 336 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: just a whole never messed up his sons, his daughter, 337 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: his wife, like the stuff he did for the city, 338 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: like the school that I promise school he has. He's 339 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: not doing a hospital and acor in his hometown like 340 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: the guy has been fall is. Like the worst thing 341 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: we could think of was him getting the hummer in 342 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: high school. Him again to do this for a fan 343 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: base that realistically, I wouldn't say this again that we 344 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: might not ever win another championship. People didn't realize Clevelands 345 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: a very small city. We're less than four thou people, 346 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: but we're you know, we're in the same level. No 347 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: no one does, but our names every We shouldn't have 348 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: three sports teams were right there with Oklahoma and your 349 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: your tolstas if you will for us to have, you know, 350 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: the Guardians, Browns were always in the news. Must to 351 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: be the small everyone knows somebody from Cleveland or in 352 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: Cleveland were good people, because we have to be. They 353 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: were so small, but like and they all start, you know, 354 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: we had the finals, we had you know, Charles Barkley 355 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: in town. These people come to town and we're the 356 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: spotlight because of one man. Let's be honest. So anybody 357 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: hating on him as a little bit of racism to it. 358 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: But we love him more than anything in the world. 359 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: He could run from mayor governor of Cleveland if you will, 360 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: and we have nothing but love. And I mean even then, 361 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: I'm a Jordan guy from old school. I hate that 362 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: you have the society if you think one is better 363 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: than the other to get to knock somebody down. Think 364 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: of it as a table. You know, No, they got 365 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: to seat at that table. But if it's for the 366 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: table that who's this new one? Because I mean again, 367 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: I go back and forth personally with Lebron and Jordan's 368 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: because Jordan to me is an all time great, like 369 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: he's the greatest. But then I say, what did Jordan 370 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: doing the year seventeen? Yeah, but then the hand checking. 371 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: I like to believe that Lebron is the most talented 372 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 1: physical like his body is just he was a man 373 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: amongst kids, you know, even in the pros. But Jordan's 374 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: just just will and his drive, if you will. And 375 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 1: then I get mad because I don't put Kobe on 376 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: my list of four. Kobe is a piece, but then 377 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: I'm not and I don't want to go old school 378 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: like I'm about to be blasphemous to old school basketball player. 379 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: I don't go old school like well Chamber, who's playing 380 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: against like guys who were smoking cigarettes at halftime? So 381 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: the league a little different now, right? All right, Well 382 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna let's hold the thought on Kobe because we're 383 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: gonna talk about all time best draft class in the 384 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: modern era. And super producer Jabari set around this clip 385 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: David String going down the line shaking everybody's hand at 386 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: the nine draft like it's wild to look at all 387 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: the hands he's shaking, Like wow, that was one. Okay, 388 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: we'll talk. So we'll talk about that when we come back. 389 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: And we're back and we got two clips we want 390 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: to hit. But before we got to it, you mentioned 391 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: the shot Ricky. So this is the Jordan's shot jumps 392 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: up because of the camera angle, looks like he kicked 393 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: craiggy Low in the face. But I just want one 394 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: of the all time great playoff buzzer beaters. First time, 395 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: only and only time I've where my dad's were. He 396 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: actually said, I'll be damned, wo um were the thing 397 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: to say to that. We're we're close family friends with 398 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: Brad Sellers who did the inbounds throw. If you noticed 399 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: Brad Sellers, He's from Cleveland, and Charles Oakley was also 400 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: on the team from Cleveland. So it was like it 401 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: was you gotta have Brad tell the whole story about 402 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: the time out. And you know Phil Collins, I believe 403 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: at the time, and I feel a duck Collins, Dude, 404 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: this great, you know play, they said, And it was 405 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: like yeah, whatever, Georgan's like, just just give me the ball. 406 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: That's all great, Just just fine, Yeah, I'll get the ball. 407 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna run up to the ball. You're gonna throw 408 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: me the ball, and then I'm going to find a 409 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: way to put it in the basket. They said. Actually, 410 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: Larry Nancy slept. He admitted later on in life that 411 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: it was actually his coverage actually was trying to save him, 412 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: what you know, not as Elo to be the one 413 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: that you know, he scored over him. If you look, 414 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: Larry Nance kind of like stumbles. But um, yeah, I 415 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: mean Magic Johnson and Deaned us the team in the 416 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: nineties and you know, I was a huge round Harper fan, 417 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: like heart was like our guy. He was our Jordan guy, 418 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: you know at the time, Um, we're friends, are hard 419 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: too now, but like we trade him for Danny Ferry 420 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: and it was like what are we doing to the 421 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: you know, the Clippers. It just got weird and we 422 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: went through this whole weird um thing. But Jordan and 423 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 1: Harper like for us, you know, Jordan was just looking back. 424 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: I sound crazy, but at the time, Jordan and Harper 425 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: were like they were they was kind of there. Like 426 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: Harper was like he score, he was a wing. We 427 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: have Mark Price, Larry Nanz, Brad Doherty. We got a 428 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: solid team, like literally woke as his coach. Like it 429 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: was right there. It was like we were gonna be 430 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: the team in the nineties and balls wasn't that great 431 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: of a team at the time, Like we were supposed 432 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: to battle, you know for years. And then after that, 433 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: Harper gets traded and we didn't get Gerald Wilkins. Wow, hey, 434 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: shout out to the Wilkins family. I mean this is true. 435 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: They have the cookie crumbles. Um, all right, let's talk 436 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: best draft classes in the modern era. I think a 437 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: lot of people just go eighty four because that's the 438 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: year m J went number three the team when number one. 439 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: Shout out to Sam Bowie. Sam Booie went number two 440 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: to the Portland Trailblazers, who my grandfather was coaching at 441 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: the time, So that that's a tough one for the 442 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: old legacy. Barkley Stockton like, it's pretty hard to argue 443 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: with that Mount Rushmore right, m But then super producer 444 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: Jabari said, us, this clip of David Stern going down 445 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: shaking everybody's hand after they got drafted in nineties six, 446 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: and it is it's bonkers, man, It's well, let's play it. 447 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 1: David Stern eye okay, shaking Kobe's hands, Steve Nash's hand, Yeah, Jesus, 448 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: David Stern old night okay, Junkyard does Walter McCarty look 449 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: at Marcus can be look at like over Marcus can 450 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: be down to my size. It's gonna see Cary Kittles. 451 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: Carry kittles, he said, Alan, he said nice to me. 452 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: It's like wild when you go, I'm gonna talk, he said, 453 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: Twine carry Ai. And then who was the last one? 454 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: Stefan Marbury. Stefan Marbury, who was like for those first 455 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: handful of years was one of the most exciting players 456 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: in the league. So this is my question. Okay, so 457 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: we'll put a pin in that class because that's like, 458 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: like you were saying, really that iconic slam covers, but 459 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: just to get through some of the other classes and 460 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: just kind of think of what if anyone has an 461 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: edge Dark Paul Pierce, Vince Carter, Mike Baby okay, two 462 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: thousand nine, Steph James Harden, Blake Griffin okay, two thousand eleven, 463 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, Kauai, Kyrie Clay, Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing. That 464 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: if Shrimp Joe Dumars all three. Yeah, you know, I 465 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: guess I don't know why we'd be throwing shade on 466 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: that class was three because we got Braun was that 467 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: Dark was dark O number two? Then Mellow, h Bosh, 468 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: d Wade, Chris Caman, Kirk Heinrich T J Ford Okay, 469 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: that was two thousand three. But I'm just I guess 470 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: when when you put those clumps together, I mean, like, 471 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: because you have Lebron in there and like Mellow and 472 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,479 Speaker 1: d Wade and stuff, I definitely feel the weight of that. 473 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: But I'm wondering if now this could be a generational 474 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: bias that because of my age, I am like more 475 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: moved at the site of that ninety six draft class 476 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: because that was like when I watched all those guys 477 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: in college too, and like I wore one sock up 478 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: and one down like Harry kittlesa because I thought that 479 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: was like the dopest look of the one guy of 480 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: my that draft. Yeah, that's who you went with, Yeah, 481 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: of all the people. And that's what's funny about the draft, 482 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: right I'm like, that's my man, Carrie Kittles from Villanova 483 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: right there, I mean start to argue that because I 484 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: was going to make an argument. I just shut myself 485 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: down mentally because I was gonna say it from top 486 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: to bottom. I was gonna try to argue three versus 487 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: that one, just to be you know, argumentative. But I 488 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: was like, Kobe's there, so yeah there and Ai and 489 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: AI was like m and Steve Nash who won a 490 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: bunch of m v P s. Let let me just 491 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 1: okay my old three though, except for dark Old, the 492 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: first five picks are hall of famers. Can you say 493 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: that about the No, No, yeah, it's it's definitely like 494 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: you know, Kobe being in the teens, right, like, did 495 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,719 Speaker 1: didn't he get picked pretty late? And I'm reading right, 496 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: now at the bottom of the screen. What I'm saying 497 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: like to take out Darker, which if you remember Detroit 498 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: at the time they either won a championship, they didn't 499 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: have a spot like even they couldn't have drafted like 500 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: I mean naturally wanted Mellow, but like they didn't have 501 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: room for him, because that's when they had like the 502 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: five great starters were all good but not great. But 503 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: you know what i mean, like yeah, because they sound 504 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: was there, so like that's what I'm saying. I'm just 505 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: and I agree with you ninety six. I'm just being 506 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: you know, argumented to be. It to me that oh 507 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: three of you going Lebron Hall of Fame, the Mellow 508 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, then then then Boss Hall of Fame 509 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: and Weight Hall of Fame. That's that's almost a fire 510 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: Like who was six our man Chris Cayman, you know, 511 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: don't give him his flowers with the hair, Yeah, you're 512 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: bald king, balding King. I know I didn't. I was like, 513 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, I was hoping like some random like don't 514 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: shake me, my bald king. But you know that changes 515 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: things a little bit. I mean, Kurt and then Kirk 516 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: Hinrich was right after that Kurkinra Nash was fifteen. Nash's picked. 517 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 1: So that's the thing about that NINETI class. And I 518 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: still think like if you're just I don't know, it's tough. 519 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: It's like totally like how you're going to rate it, 520 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: But like eight four is tough to be because M 521 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: J and A Kim are like defined in the next 522 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: ten years and won all the titles for like for 523 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: the nineties essentially, right, Yeah, I think it just comes 524 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: down to, like again more than like trying to rate 525 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: these people on what they've done for me. I think 526 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking at these draft classes based purely off 527 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: of nostalgia and like the thing that I liked about it, 528 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: like like you're saying for me, Carrie Kittles Villanova that 529 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: year completely ruined my brain and like my mom was like, 530 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: why are you only wearing one long sock to your 531 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: basketball game? Yeah, I mean I'm a little older. So 532 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: for me to that point, like that shut draft with 533 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 1: m Alonzo Christian Latner, um, I forgot who else was 534 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 1: in that draft. Like for me, I've never seen somebody 535 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: like shock for Like it is sad now that kids 536 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: don't realize like how agile and stuff. You was like 537 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 1: I was breaking billboards and like you know, it was like, yeah, 538 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: it's first couple of years was crazy. But even like 539 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: Alonzo coming in with defensive like you gotta realize, even 540 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: like Christian Line being what he was, but three big 541 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: Man drafted boom boom boom, Like yeah, that's wild. Um, 542 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: But that for me, that would have be nostalgia. Like 543 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: Orlando Magic had to do logo like it was. It was, 544 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was crazy. Oh yeah, and 545 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: that was a time when like every mall in America 546 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: had one loose shock shooing it. They're like, hey, I 547 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: see that guy shocked foot. They got one of his shoes, 548 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 1: and sports member Billie. It was crazy. It was crazy. 549 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: So for me that oh man um and friend of 550 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: the show Robert Ry that's his that's his draft classie. Yeah. Yeah, 551 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: so that was all of those, all of them. But 552 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: then again, I mean not to sound like get all 553 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: my line, guy, but me, those guys were ready. So 554 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: there's those are ready now. Even at ninety six classes 555 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: you said those guys are ready, they would step in 556 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: and they're super superstars. You know, five, six, seven, ten people, 557 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: you know, we're coming in and doing their things straight 558 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: from college. Now, you know you have a guy that 559 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: might at the city year he's trying to figure it out, 560 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, he's he's development or you're away from the 561 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: mature or whatever you will. So yeah, I don let's 562 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: talk about best draft DA fits of all time, because 563 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: I do. I do agree, like top to bottom, we're 564 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: dealing with a new era now where like you, every 565 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: everybody is styled, everybody looks really good. But going back 566 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: through I just found this NBC Sports article, but before 567 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,239 Speaker 1: I get to their top ten, i'd be interested in 568 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: here in the ones that jump out to you. I 569 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: think we've already talked about Lebron and his all white 570 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: The cut can only be described as draft suit, I 571 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: think is like the only thing you can call that 572 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: because it's like really high, the buttons all the way 573 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: up probably conservatively thirteen buttons on the front of the jacket. 574 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: But all white was a phenomenal. You know, your buttons 575 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: should be lord of your pockets, right. I think that's 576 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: a new standard now that we should keep forever. Um. 577 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: But me, you realized two back there, I mean probably 578 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: even not like then, Like a lot of those guys 579 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: probably never wore suits before, so this was like, this 580 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: is a big deal. I know lebron had at the time. 581 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: I think I want to say, we knew the person 582 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: that she styled them in Cleveland. Yeah, but I mean 583 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: this is also this is oh three, like this is 584 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: just players ball type suits every like that was the 585 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: height of formal fashion for these guys too. It's like 586 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: you got now on later, gators on this. You gotta 587 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: preach your suit on now you look good. So it's 588 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: I feel like this was maybe like the last time 589 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: we we even just saw like the I don't know, 590 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: like before we started crossing into the era of like 591 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: really hyper focused outfits and styles and like you know, 592 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: maybe the the bull bulls of our world. I think 593 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: one that comes to mind, Um, was it Jermaine or know, 594 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: somebody like was from like the South and their suit 595 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: was just like was it? It might have been um oh, 596 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to say his name, never mind, was 597 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: you know who was its? Um? I love this. It 598 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: was amazing trying to find it out. I can buy one. 599 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: I love this looking like out of work cult leader 600 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: were no nobody in this cult just right the cult divide. 601 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: You got a favorite. I feel like in looking through 602 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: that article, my memory was jocked and I actually remember 603 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: exactly what my favorite is now. So some Moki walker 604 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: in came with like one of the great just all 605 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: cream everything, but with a top hat that really like 606 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: pulled the whole thing together, made him look like, you know, 607 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: set him apart not from like that draft class, but 608 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: from the history of draft classes. And also like looked 609 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: like he could be like a movie character of some sort, 610 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: like just with with the hat, like you know what. 611 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: It reminds me of. It reminds me of that that 612 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: l A Times magazine shoot cope he did when he 613 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: wore the hat. Yes, the white hat with the headband 614 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: and the bow tie. That's that's like almost press energetically 615 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: what I'm looking at actually actually have mine is actually 616 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: a friend of mine. Um to never justice but Drew 617 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: Good and m hmm, ok, you google it. He has 618 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: his whole um it's the buttons. You can't see him 619 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: is the movie with the with the mini me it's 620 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: the oh you've got the doctor evil joint on. Wow, 621 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: I'm going I'm going Drew with the top the top 622 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: is doing something. The lap coat, the lap coat with 623 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: a tie and yeah, let's just describe this. So Drew 624 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: Gooden came with, uh, like you know, a baggy suit, 625 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: but the jacket is just straight, like it goes all 626 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: the way up to there's no neck, there's no no 627 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: lapet straight up to then. I mean, you did a 628 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: great job just described it as doctor Evil. But the 629 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: buttons are hidden. It is such a strong choice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 630 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: And that's what I think they think. That's what's fun 631 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: about that era is because then they were just having 632 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: to like do their twist on the suit. You know, 633 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: now people got like, oh, wear a silk bomber jacket. 634 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm more spiky loafers and this other thing. So in 635 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,239 Speaker 1: a way, I kind of give it up to these 636 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: older cats because they were dealing with a limited palette 637 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: and really trying to find individualism through this very rigid 638 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: form of the suit. And when you break through, I 639 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: mean Mr good in that suit, it really is they're working. 640 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: It's like, now everybody looks great like this. So this 641 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: list has you know, Jalen Green last year is probably 642 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: the biggest choice because he was wearing bell bottoms like 643 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: it looks good and also does not like it.

It's time to play one of our favorite games. 705 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: It's time for the rapid fire questions segment. Now, this 706 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: is a rapid fire round of questions. We're gonna ask 707 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 1: you a question. Don't even think, because we try and 708 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: keep the pace of this thing moving, moving, moving, without 709 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: a question. You react, and then we're gonna keep it moving. 710 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 1: No expanding on your answers. We're gonna just let's just 711 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:53,959 Speaker 1: start the clock round one. Fine, let's go. Funniest moment 712 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,320 Speaker 1: you've ever seen on an NBA court Ricky Davis shuting 713 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: at the wrong basket. Hey, we've all been there, right, Like, 714 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: let's it's hard to keep track, Jack, Jack, come on, man, 715 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: it's wrap this wrap our next question. If you okay, 716 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,320 Speaker 1: here we go. Ricky, if you could add or change 717 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: one rule about the NBA, what would it be? Uh, 718 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 1: it would be the players should be able to fill out. 719 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: Basketball is the only sport where like you get like 720 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: you're out of the game just for doing something that 721 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: is still within the game. So like, especially it's over time, 722 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 1: Like if you have a six file, they should let 723 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 1: you come back. Let's say everybody gets one more file. 724 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, like it doesn't make sense that like that 725 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 1: affects the game just because of whatever. Maybe like you know, 726 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,919 Speaker 1: after your six files, the other team gets four free 727 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: throws in the ball something that's still like, yeah, I'm 728 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: just hacking people, but it still makes it though, you 729 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: know your best players levels like yeah, three overtime game, 730 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: you're left with like, you know, somebody looks like me 731 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 1: on the bench with the guy to scores table.

I think you know, since we're 735 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 1: keeping it rapid, I would really love to see like 736 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: a Rock and Jock like fifty point basket, you know, 737 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 1: like how Rick Mhorney things evolved with Curry. You just 738 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: be hit five. But wouldn't that be wild if we 739 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: saw a seven thirty two to eighty.
