1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if this goes to a game seven

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: and Kyrie can't play because it's a home game and

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: he's not vaccinated. Do they tank and get a lower

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: seed just so they're not the home team in the

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference finals? I mean, if it means having Kyrie

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: jays right, I'm saying, welcome back to what's burning. Happy

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: New Year's to everybody out there. Jackets two, Baby, let's

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: get to it, back to work. You've got any resolutions,

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: oh man? None? Man, Just continue to win and continue

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: to help people and uh, you know, continue to stack

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: this paper. Baby. It's not bad. That's not bad. Let's

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: get right into it. Our first segment contender or pretender

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: or starting off with my surprise pick of the season.

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: The Chicago Bulls are sitting at the top of the

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference when eight out of their last ten seven

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: in a row. They went ten and two during December,

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: Leavin and de Rosa leading the team at twenty six

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: points a game. Billie Chitch is out of double double love,

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: Zoe Kobe White played well off each other, Alex Caruso

20
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: is out here just I think leading the league and steals.

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: Jack Obviously, this team is surprised. Do you think they're

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: a serious contender in the Eastern Conference this season? I

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: love the success. I think they're one of the hardest

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: playing teams in the league. Six games maybe against the

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: Nets are Bucks. I still got the next Nets of

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: Bucks coming out these but this team is definitely shocking,

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: shocking the US to conference, shock in the NBA right

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: now and uh the Marta Rosen two back to back

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: game when as these guys are bowling. Yeah, I mean,

30
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: I think more than ever this this ship is all

31
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: about luck and who's healthy at the right time. I

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: think this team, they they they've shout out to the management.

33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: They've been able to put pieces together. They've come together

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: seamlessly with no egos. Picked up Willie Chitch last year

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: as excuse me, fifth in offensive cy twelfth in defensive efficiency.

36
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: They continue to get better. I really like this team,

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: and I think my favorite thing about him is they

38
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: play hardest fun and when you play hard, you always

39
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: he to give yourself a chance to win. So I

40
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: definitely put them up there in the conversation with the Nets,

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: the Bucks and probably the Miami Heat as who will

42
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: represent the Eastern Conference. So it's gonna be fun to watch.

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 1: Do we believe in the Cleveland Cavaliers And I don't

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: even think it's so much believing in them. I just

45
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: I'm happy for this team. Man. They they've kind of

46
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: built something over there post Lebron with a lot of

47
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: young talent. Currently fifth in the East. I don't think

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: anyone saw that. They just picked up Region Rondo all

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: they love. They lost Ricky Ruby, who was playing really

50
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: good for them. Um Kevin Love has been playing of late,

51
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: but we'll get to him a little bit later. Jack,

52
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: what do you like about this young Cleveland team? Well, first,

53
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm just happy for the biggest staff, Bigges Staff was around.

54
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: When he was around, he was always one of the

55
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: coaches that came over and spoke to the opposing team,

56
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: and you know, just just was a fan of the

57
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: game and somebody that that that I always have respect

58
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: for us. So I'm happy for him. But just for

59
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: the most part, just to see this organization going in

60
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: and winning direction. You know so much. They went to

61
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: a major low, you know when when they lost um Lebron.

62
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: So just to have them back in the winning field,

63
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: to see things going in the right direction is a

64
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: good look. Yeah, definitely, I mean, they got a young

65
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: talented team. I think Rondo is only going to help

66
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: those young players. But Darius Garland, I like Mobley, young

67
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: talent at the USC, Jared Allen got a hundred million dollars,

68
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: been playing great marketing. Oh's man, this is this is

69
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: a fun team and again excited. Uh Bickerstaff got a

70
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: multi year extension through the twenty twenty seven seasons, so

71
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: congratulations to him. But I just like again that this

72
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: team has found a direction and a new young foundation

73
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: and they can kind of start rebuilding post Lebron because

74
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: when he left the first time, they were terrible. When

75
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: he left again, they went back in the gutter, and

76
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: now they're really starting to kind of find a new

77
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: identity outside of him, which I think is important for

78
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: that franchise. So best of luck for them. Next up

79
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: the Memphis Grizzlies, currently sitting at fourth place in the West.

80
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: Another pleasant surprise. Got five guys and double figures, very

81
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: deep team. Their seventh and points per game, second and rebounding,

82
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: and ninth and assist, so they shared the sugar and

83
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: everybody's eating over there in Methlis. This team played really

84
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: well while job was out struggled when he got back,

85
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: but he closed out the year strong, average nearly thirty

86
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 1: five game in the last three games, all which were wins.

87
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: I like the depth. I like how hard this team plays.

88
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: Can they make any noise and spoil some people's playings

89
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs this year? I think they have the

90
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: upset capability that they can do it. I think they

91
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: can upset the team in the playoffs. I don't I

92
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: don't see them coming out the Western Conference, but I

93
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: think they can ruin somebody's season or early seed season.

94
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: But I definitely know that when the playoffs start that

95
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: that rotation won't be nine maybe nine players. It would

96
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: be more seven or five, seven, eight. But to see

97
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: that they have a deep team, to see these guys

98
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: be able to hold it down when job was at

99
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: they didn't do them, but make them better and it's

100
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: gonna make them prepare for the for the playoff runt. Yeah.

101
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: I like this young team, very deep. They play hard.

102
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: I could either I could ease you see this team

103
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: getting a tough five matchup and losing in the first round,

104
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: and I could also see them mess around and making

105
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: it to the Western finals. That they're that kind of team.

106
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: Um from a standpoint of depth and playing hard with

107
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: a lot of young talent and they don't know no better,

108
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: which is a good thing sometimes. So it will be

109
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: interesting to see how this team, you know, stay healthy

110
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: obviously most important, and see how they finish out um

111
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: heading into the playoffs this year. Next up, we got

112
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: some of the best players in the world coming back

113
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: to their teams. Let's start off with Kyrie Jack. He'll

114
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: be his first game this Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers.

115
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: Could only play road games. I think it immediately it's

116
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: going to make a nice impact, But I want to

117
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: talk to you after you give your opinion what you

118
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: think it will be like in the playoffs when he

119
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: only gets to play half the games, but go immediate

120
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: impact for Kyrie returning to this team, yeah, I mean,

121
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: I'm a fan. That's my little brother, so I'm happy

122
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,679
Speaker 1: to see him back on the court where he wants

123
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: to be. I know Katie is definitely shown how excited

124
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: he is to have him back, but that's what He's

125
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: one of the best basketball players in the world, So

126
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: just seeing him be able to do, you know, what

127
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: he does best and what he loves to do, regardless

128
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: if it's half the time at least I can see

129
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: some of it. Yeah, I'm interested to see because, you know,

130
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: barring injury, this is the first time the basketball somewhat

131
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: been taken away from him. So I wonder now, like

132
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: where his appreciation for the game is now. You know,

133
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: again we've talked about it on the show. You know,

134
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: we respect his decisions and and and what he feels

135
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: is right for him and works from him. But I

136
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: want to know where basketball is out on his priority list,

137
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: Like is it one into something? Because when he's locked in,

138
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: there's no one better on the planet, you know, So

139
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: I want to know. I think his team obviously wants

140
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: to know, like are we gonna be able to count

141
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: on this guy every single night? And if he is

142
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: locked in and they can't count on him, obviously this

143
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: is a huge boost for this team that that definitely

144
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: needs a boost right now. So getting these these big

145
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: three playing together again, we I think we only saw

146
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: him what eight or nine games last year played together. Uh,

147
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, Katie Almos took these guys to the finals

148
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: when they both went down with the injuries. So to

149
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: really get a chance to see all three of these guys,

150
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: whether it's half the games or whatever. It maybe is

151
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: definitely gonna be a treat for all of us. So

152
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: I'm excited about that. He says he's locked in, man,

153
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: I think for the most part is everything that's went

154
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: on and him not playing, you know, it was new

155
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: to him. It was a shock to him. He didn't

156
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: know how to hand that. He didn't know how to

157
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: hand to none of it, you know, being away from

158
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: the game and dealing with all this stuff. So it

159
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: took a toll on him too. I mean, you know,

160
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: we all know human, but um, it took him to

161
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: a place where where he didn't know what to expect.

162
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: But to be back on the court, I know that's

163
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: gratifying for him, man. I know it's gonna be scary too.

164
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: He's been waiting and watching this whole season, so you

165
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: know he's gonna be full of energy. Man. So I'm

166
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: excited for him and his team for him to get

167
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: back in the lineup this week. Clay is scheduled to

168
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: come back um this Sunday. Hopefully that will happen. I'm

169
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: excited for him. The guy's missed about two and a

170
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: half years, Jack, so it'll be interesting to see where

171
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: he's at with it, but he's been practicing with the team,

172
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: and I say, you can't. You know, you can't simulate

173
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: the NBA game by anything but actually playing in the

174
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: NBA game. So we'll see what he's looking like when

175
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: he gets back on that court. What does this mean

176
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: for the Warriors franchise? They were already one of the

177
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: best teams in the league, one of the best teams

178
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: in the West, probably the best team in the West,

179
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: the best team in the league at times. To know

180
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,559
Speaker 1: they got one of the best shooters to ever Lason

181
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: Layson up coming back. You see him on I G

182
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: hit thirty seven threes in a row. It's gonna be scary, bro.

183
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: There were already a championship team. Draymond is playing like

184
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: an m v P. I don't know why people not

185
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: talk about him being m VP. But to see this

186
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: team play the way they've been playing to get Clay

187
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: back scary time. I mean, I think we live in

188
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: a society so much of what have you done for

189
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: me lately? I think people forget about Clay and I

190
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: think he was left off that top seventy list because

191
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: he hasn't played in two years. But this is some

192
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: of the Kyrie was too though, Right, you've had thirty

193
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: seven points in one quarter, sixty points in twenty nine minutes,

194
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: like Clay is on another motherfucking playinget. Man. So I'm

195
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: happy for him to be back. Um, I'm hoping he

196
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: can stay healthy. Um, you're adding fuel to the fire.

197
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: Like you said, the best team in the game already

198
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: is getting one of the best players back, so hopefully.

199
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: You know, they say he's suposed to start out about

200
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: eighteen minutes a game and eventually work his way up. Man,

201
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to get this guy back on the court. Uh.

202
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: And see that, and he's gonna start to matt Oh yeah, no,

203
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: that's no bullshit. You know. Coach Kurr is dope. You know,

204
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: Coach Kurt is not with the bullshit. Clays a starter,

205
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: plays a Hall of Famer Clays when he comes back,

206
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: even though he's been out two years, Uh, he will

207
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: be a starter. So they moved Jordan Pooled to the

208
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: bench so he can start getting acclimated. But he's to me,

209
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: he's one player who's kind of really found. Actually they've

210
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: got two players, but Jordan pool is a young player

211
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: that I think has kind of really found and and

212
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: and really made the most of those minutes um in

213
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: the starting role. But I like what Wiggins has been

214
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: doing over there. Wiggins has been playing his ass off,

215
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: and everyone's always like, what if you know where you

216
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: can get this guy to play? And we've talked about

217
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: him on the show before. He's really showing who he

218
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: is and what he could be to this team because

219
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: I didn't necessarily see his fit with this team when

220
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: they first picked him up, But now that he's actually

221
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: in his bag and doing his thing like this dude

222
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: is a hell of a player and it only makes

223
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: his team better. So suck out. Wiseman is coming back

224
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: to another big, agile body. So it'll be fun to

225
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: see this Warrior team at full strength and and and

226
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: they're already have the best record in the league too,

227
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: so don't let them get fully healthy. Next up on

228
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: the Radar, presented you by DraftKings. This Friday, we got

229
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: an Eastern Conference showdown between the Bucks and the Nets.

230
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: These teams odds on favorite to come out of the East.

231
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: The Nets are at one point three to one odds,

232
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: Bucks are at three to one odds, and the dark horse,

233
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: the Bulls, are at thirteen to one odds. And this

234
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: is another good playoff rematch from last year there were

235
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: a toe a long tow away from going to the finals.

236
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: Katie is being Katie. At nearly thirty points a game,

237
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: eight rebounds, six almost six and a half assists the field.

238
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he he is who he is. James

239
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: Harden his last four games since returning at nearly thirty

240
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: six a game, twelve assists, eleven rebounds a game, three

241
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: tripled doubles. James is starting to return into form. Unfortunately,

242
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: Kyrie won't be able to play in this game because

243
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: it's a home game for the Nets. Uh Janni since

244
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: he's returned, has been killing all wins. Last four games

245
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: thirty three eleven and a half and nearly seven assists,

246
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: shooting the ball a lot better from the free throw line. Jack,

247
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: tell me about this matchup, and this could this be

248
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: the matchup we see in the Eastern Conference finals? Yeah? Yeah,

249
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: I just you know, the series changed last year when

250
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: we when Kyrie went down, you know, when he sprained

251
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: his angle. The whole series changed. So we know what

252
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: it looks like without Kyrie, you know what I'm saying,

253
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: And it looks like a Bucks win. But it's a

254
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: different year, different team, and uh, it all boils down

255
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: to what team is healthy and who's on the court,

256
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: just like it did last year. But can you imagine

257
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: if this goes to a Game seven in the Nets

258
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: of the number one seed Game seven Eastern Conference Finals

259
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: were rocking at Barclays, jay Z and Bilce in the

260
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: front row, a lot of other motherfuckers are there, and

261
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: Kyrie can't play because it's a home game and he's

262
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: not vaccinated. Yeah, that would that would that would that

263
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: would completely suck. But I think for some reason that yeah,

264
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: that would that would just suck ass. And I think

265
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: for the most I think James and Katie would rise

266
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: to the occasion this year. Do they tank and get

267
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: a lower seed just so they're not the home team

268
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference Finals? I mean, if it means

269
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: having Kyrie James, I'm saying this Coach Nash sent him

270
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: out at the end of the season and let them

271
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: slide the spot or two now. But that would be crazy.

272
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: You know. We talked about that on NESPN too, like,

273
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: what would it be like if if they get to

274
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference Finals, it's a home game for the

275
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: Nets and and Kyrie can't play. You know, obviously we

276
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: all know how talented he is and what he means

277
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: to this team. Luckily you still have Katie and James,

278
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: but you know, they're obviously a better team with Kyrie.

279
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: So that would be a really like you said, would

280
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: you say, suck ass if that happens? Suck a man.

281
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: Next up, secure the bag presented you by Moneyline. Someone

282
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: found Kevin Love and this dude has been playing his

283
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: ass off um the December is averaging twenty two minutes

284
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: a game at eighteen points, seven and a half rebound,

285
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: shooting nearly fifty from the three point line. Jack, this

286
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: dude has owed a lot of money over the next

287
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: few years. Let me tell you this year's due to

288
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: make thirty one million, twenty three, he's due to make

289
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: twenty nearly twenty nine million, and twenty three's an unrestricted

290
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: free agent with this young team's kind of starting to

291
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: find their way. Is he a piece that you trade

292
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: away and see what you can get. I don't think

293
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: you'll get much for Kevin Love, But one thing about it,

294
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: Kevin Love is somebody that everything would want, considering it,

295
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: considering it from his experience. For what he's starting to

296
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: peace starting to get his his legs back into the

297
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: game and be to Kevin Love that we've seen, we

298
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: know he could do. I mean I've seen him give

299
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: I've seen him give Blake Griffith, Uh already eight twenty

300
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: six and like nine and some ship like that, So

301
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: I know what, I know what Kevin Love could do

302
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: as Yeah, it's good to see him be a part

303
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: of the winning field getting back in Cleveland. He's a

304
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: big part of that now. I'm happy for him. You know,

305
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: this is always a good dude, brewing dude with just

306
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: bad luck with injuries. But again, people quickly forget Minnesota

307
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: Kevin Love and how much he sacrifices going to Cleveland,

308
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: But what kind of fucking number monster he was in Minnesota.

309
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: So this dude's got a lot of game. Happy to

310
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: see him. He's kind of finding his way being healthy.

311
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: I think a lot of teams would love Kevin Love,

312
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: but I don't know if they're gonna take on that contract.

313
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see if uh he's able

314
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: to get moved before the trade deadline. So John Wall

315
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: next up, hasn't played a game this season, played forty

316
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: games last year, last full season was two thousand sixteen

317
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen season, he's owed even more money. Uh

318
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: one salary is forty four million, twenty three salary is

319
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: forty seven million, and in twenty three he's an unrestricted

320
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: free agent with those kind of numbers. And but again,

321
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: he came last year and played I want to say

322
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: average close to like game last year, didn't he was

323
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: really hooping over in Houston. But they're going a new

324
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: direction with the young talent. Do you see him being

325
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: able to contribute with this Houston team or or getting

326
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: on another team this year. I don't see him working

327
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: with Houston. I think those young guys and they go

328
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: in a different direction. I still think he could help

329
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: a championship team, an NBA team, you know, I would.

330
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind sitting with the Lakers, you know, Uh,

331
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: a team like that that you got veterans and and

332
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: he can come and play a lesser row, still be

333
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: a starper player a lesser row. But injur has held

334
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: him back a lot. And you don't know how it's

335
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: gonna be coming back around to all this time. But

336
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: one thing about it, my boy got his paper. Yeah

337
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: he got pay for that. But I think the only

338
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: way he moves is for a buyout, and I don't

339
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: know if if that's in the cards. But I mean,

340
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: like I said, he came last year, and when when

341
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: he did he play, he played well. I want to

342
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: say he after like around eighteen nineteen points a game

343
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: after being out for nearly two seasons. So you know,

344
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: hopefully he's able to get back out there and do

345
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: what he loves. But that contract of the Monster, it's

346
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to to wiggle with that ship. Next up,

347
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: Kevin Porter Jr. Had an incident with assistant coach John

348
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: Lucas and decided to leave the arena. Jack, We've all

349
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: had our incidences with coaches. Have you ever left a

350
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: game that's crazy? No. I've been kicked out from the

351
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: bench until go to the locker room, but I've never

352
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: never left again willingly, willingly. You've never just left the arena? No, never, willingly. No.

353
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting. I mean, this kid's got a lot

354
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: of talent um. You know, Houston got him from Damn

355
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: ne or nothing because he had trouble in Cleveland. I

356
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: want to say he's an avenue right around fourteen points

357
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: a game this year and sixersists if I'm not mistaken. Uh,

358
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: he's due to make a little bit over three million

359
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: this year. He has an opportunity for an extension, does

360
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: he is? He's someone you extend. You know his his

361
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: issues have been off the court, in his his his

362
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: attitude they say, and kind of his mental approach. But

363
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: a lot of young talent. Uh do you see him

364
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: as a part of the future in Houston. Yeah, they

365
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: just got they got to get the right people around

366
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: him now. This kid has a lot of talent. He's

367
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 1: wanted to seat out of kids, so so we know

368
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: he has a great group of older guys that he

369
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: could talk to with Jamal and Isaiah and Brandon Roy

370
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: and those guys. For the most part, man, I think

371
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: this kid can be a great pro He just needs

372
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 1: to have the right people around him now. And because

373
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: the more money and make, the more money and start

374
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: to throw at him, different things arise and you might

375
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: not know know how to deal with that. When all

376
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: the super started he's getting already. No, it's and it's

377
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: just harder to talk to people as as they make

378
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: more money. If you can barely talk to him when

379
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: they're not making as much money as he can, so

380
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: I agree. I definitely think he needs, you know, some

381
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: people to help break some of his just younger habits.

382
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: I just think it's young habits. And this again speaks

383
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: to our points, you know. I mean, like there's no

384
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: real vets in the league, no more, Like these dudes

385
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: are all pretty much the same, ay, So I mean

386
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 1: I feel them. I'm not you know, am I really

387
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: gonna listen to him? Motherfucker's maybe two years older than me,

388
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: Like like I would listen to someone who was thirty

389
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: eight or thirty nine and I'm twenty three. Whole different.

390
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: It's a whole different dynamic man. So yeah, I definitely hope,

391
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: you know, he lands on his feet from the mental

392
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: aspect and and just kind of getting his ship together

393
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: because the kid definitely has a lot of talent. Closing

394
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: thoughts Antonio Brown, uh decided to take his jersey off

395
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: and left it on the bench through his T shirt

396
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: and gloves in the stands, and then we had some

397
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: high top boots he was waiting for riding um outside

398
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: the Jets stadium yesterday. Thoughts on Antonio Brown, big fan

399
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown before the last two or three years, is

400
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: he's been doing a lot acting like a diva. For me,

401
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: man Um, I was a big fan. I wanted him

402
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: to go to Tampa Bay and win the championship and

403
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: continue to win another one, and he did that. But

404
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: what he did yesterday, Bro, just shows you don't want

405
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: to play football on him, or we'll never see him

406
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: in the in the NFL uniform begin after that. They

407
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: gave him a lot of chances. I gave him a

408
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: lot of chances. I stood up on him, But that

409
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: last move, when you want one of the best teams

410
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: in the league and have a chance to win the

411
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: championship and you're worried about your personal ship, I lost

412
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for him. It's just it's interesting

413
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: because you hear Tom Brady, I don't know a b

414
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I'm obviously a fan of his

415
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: talent on the field. You know, he was definitely on

416
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: the way to a Hall of Fame career. Uh, he

417
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: was just a handful of stats away from getting a

418
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: big bonus Um as well. You know, you hear Tom

419
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: Brady speaking and and and people are saying this guy

420
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: needs some help, you know, and it just kind of

421
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: makes me think, like he can't be this burnt out.

422
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: You know, you can't it can't. It can't be this

423
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: burnt down in a lot of people say it around

424
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: him or saying that, you know, after that hit in

425
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen that uh Burfett put on him uh

426
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: in the Bengals playoffs, all this ship has been happening

427
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: since then, So you know, is it cte? Is it

428
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: just crazy? Because I guess they say, you also dropped

429
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: a song, and it's kind of like making this like

430
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: a cool situation. And and to me, I think it's

431
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: more of a c for help. And I hope that

432
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: he can get some It's not some yes man, because

433
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: I think he has too many of those, just some

434
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: real people that really care about him and can get

435
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: their arms around him and guide him in the right direction.

436
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: Because again, he pretty much just threw his career away

437
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: this past Sunday, and you hate to see it, especially

438
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: and someone that is so talented on the field, man,

439
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: and and and and and has had a lot of chances,

440
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,239
Speaker 1: but I think this was probably the final strike right here.

441
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: So man, praying for the best for this dude. Man,

442
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: I hope he lands on his feet. And again, because

443
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: you can't never really speak to what's going on in

444
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: somebody's head. Man, everybody's fighting some sort of battle, and

445
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: hopefully he can get some help if if he is

446
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: really fighting some internal battles. More breaking new Specky Hammonds

447
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: becomes the head coach of the Las Vegas Aces with

448
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: a nice lucrative deal over there. Congratulations to her, Jack.

449
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: Do you think her or any women will become NBA

450
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: head coach in the foreseeable future. I'm not sure, man,

451
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm just scared for any woman to coach in the NBA.

452
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: I know how we are, uh, I know. With the

453
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: with with the money comes different things. And you know,

454
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: you think you think you've got players now that won't

455
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: listen to some older guys that played in the NBA

456
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: teen years. Just imagine somebody that never played an NBA

457
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: and she's a female. These guys have egos and no

458
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: tell her where to come out. Dey MoU So I'm

459
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm happy for with the w n b A. I

460
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: think she's gonna do do great there. I just wouldn't

461
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: want to put a woman in that position with so

462
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: many high ego athletes. Yeah, I thought it was a

463
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: perfect situation if she were good to step in for

464
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: pop because obviously that the respect she's built with some

465
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: of those players in John Take Murray, you know, A

466

467
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: got the respect in that in that organization. But I

468
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: agree to go into a fresh organization where sometimes it's

469
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: hard to just keep anybody's head on straight, let alone

470
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: you know, a woman, um that's never played in the

472
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: heads on straight. So that would be interesting. But I

Speaker 1: definitely think she has the talent for um. I definitely

474
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a woman at some point, so

475
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have to deal with it. So
