Speaker 1: has its sights on the NBA's I S t In
Speaker 1: Season Tournament. According to the Sports Business Journal, Netflix has
Speaker 1: shown some interest in acquiring rights to the broadcast in
Speaker 1: season tournament and then wants to build a docu series
Speaker 1: like the wildly popular F one and the Tour de
Speaker 1: Front series.
Speaker 2: Netflix of course won't.
Speaker 1: Be able to build it on this until April, so
Speaker 1: this is for next season. But yes, Netflix is getting
Speaker 1: serious about the ist.
Speaker 2: Kind of love it.
Speaker 1: I kind of love it because here's the thing, You're
Speaker 1: gonna need to go behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: That Tour de Front docu series fucking lit.
Speaker 1: They're like, Hey, you're gonna be the errand boy in
Speaker 1: this this like round of the Tour Pronsey. He's like, actually, no,
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna try to win this myself. And
Speaker 1: everybody's like what, Yeah, I can't wait for the Rudy
Speaker 1: gobert Ist straight up choke hold and us have to.
Speaker 2: Figure out in the locker room what was going on.
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr is gonna have to really like give us
Speaker 1: some behind the scenes footage because brand like I got
Speaker 1: just very much. Also see Cam Thomas being followed around
Speaker 1: Brandon Miller and building a show around these personalities that
Speaker 1: we will love and that we will hate. Moving on,
Speaker 1: everyone and their mother has heard Mavericks announcer Brian Demerez's
Speaker 1: epic two minute rant taking down James Harden.
Speaker 2: It went very viral. It was what everyone was talking about.
Speaker 1: Everyone sort of seemed to love it, except for Sports Southwest,
Speaker 1: who decided to pull down the video clip because it
Speaker 1: went against the company's values. Isn't this the same company
Speaker 1: that went dark for an entire week and wasn't able
Speaker 1: to broadcast the games, like the one critical component of
Speaker 1: being a broadcast partner, And this is what you say
Speaker 1: is against the company's values. How about what is against
Speaker 1: companies values is like not actually putting the games.
Speaker 2: Out for the fans. Are you serious?
Speaker 1: Is this the same company, by the way, that's going bankrupt?
Speaker 1: And then like offered their fans vouchers because for seven
Speaker 1: days the app was down.
Speaker 2: I'm sure the Clippers were very mad.
Speaker 1: They're probably like, hey, Bally, your broadcast partner, do not
Speaker 1: allow your guy Brian de Maris to be outside of
Speaker 1: his lane talking shit about our new point guard.
Speaker 2: We can't have all that. We know everybody already hates
Speaker 2: James Harden.
Speaker 1: Tyrese Haliburn also in the news. He is just shooting
Speaker 1: the leather off the ball, but he also got profiled
Speaker 1: by the Ringer. Fully, how good is Halliburton Miles Turner
Speaker 1: who was on the trade block before Hallie got there.
Speaker 1: They hated hated Miles Turner in Indiana and now somehow
Speaker 1: they love him. He said this about Halle. We were
Speaker 1: playing at the time with some of our G League
Speaker 1: centers and some guys were trying to earn minutes and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and they were finishing with twenty and ten.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, twenty and ten. These dudes that hardly
Speaker 1: know what direction to run, and Halliburton makes them look
Speaker 1: like starters.
Speaker 2: No wonder Jalen Smith is getting minutes? What does that say?
Speaker 1: Also about like where we're at on Jeris Walker, how
Speaker 1: come he can't get any playing time. My favorite thing
Speaker 1: from the Ringer article was this tidbit. It had never
Speaker 1: really occurred to Halliburton to slow down. He was taught
Speaker 1: with the game as an open floor, and he learned
Speaker 1: to read it with the help of a PlayStation. Honestly,
Speaker 1: a lot of my BOOP knowledge is knowing how to
Speaker 1: play coming from video games. When you're playing two K
Speaker 1: and you're on that camera angle where you can see
Speaker 1: everything ahead of you, that's how I.
Speaker 2: Think sometimes that's that's ridiculous Tyrese.
Speaker 1: Haliburton single handedly giving every video gamer on Earth a
Speaker 1: common dub being like, yo, if you play two K,
Speaker 1: your basketball IQ through the roof.
Speaker 2: He's not the only one who said the same thing.
Speaker 1: Jaron Jackson said, I feel like I get my shot
Speaker 1: block timing from two K, and I'm being serious. When
Speaker 1: I was first in the league, I was swiping a
Speaker 1: lot they get by you in two K. You figure
Speaker 1: out the timing when you're gonna block shots. Video games
Speaker 1: very important key pieces for film study for NBA players. Finally,
Speaker 1: Lemon Pepperloo our Man Lou Williams six Men of the
Speaker 1: Year God retired this year after a long and successful
Speaker 1: NBA career, and he's now making the rounds saying crazy
Speaker 1: ass shit the latest. Did you know that Trey Young
Speaker 1: had a podcast?
Speaker 2: Because I didn't.
Speaker 1: He went on Trey Young's podcast and said this. We
Speaker 1: started to hear the rumblings that nobody is going to
Speaker 1: respect this chip, so we just kind of took our
Speaker 1: foot off the gas. He is referencing the three to
Speaker 1: one lead that the Clipper Blue to the Nuggets in
Speaker 1: the second round of the Bubble. Remember the Bubble That
Speaker 1: was where Lemon pepperlu got his nickname Lemon Pepper Lou
Speaker 1: because he went to Magic City for the Wings during
Speaker 1: a pandemic when they were not supposed to leave the property.
