1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: When was the moment you knew your basketball career was over. 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: I knew my career was over when one of my 3 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,439 Speaker 1: favorite coaches in the world put me in a position 4 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: to say that other players was better than me, when 5 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: he knew what my response was gonna be. I end 6 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: up getting cut right before the playoffs started in San Antonio. 7 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: I left with my integrity because I would never say 8 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: somebody is better than me, especially after that just gave 9 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: him forty in franknice Welcome back to another edition of 10 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: What's Burning Jack were in the full swing of playoffs. 11 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: The second round is officially started. Let's get started with 12 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets. Last night, Phoenix erased 13 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: a double digit deficit in the third quarter, only to 14 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: create their own double digit deficit in the same quarter, 15 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 1: led by CP three. I think his shoulders coming back 16 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 1: to life. He had twenty one points, eleven assists, six rebounds, 17 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: Devin Booker twenty one and eight, Jay crowder as fourteen, 18 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: The young boy bridges steps up and gives you twenty 19 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 1: three points with four threes, And the person I've been 20 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: impressed with the most since the playoffs started for Phoenix 21 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: is Andre Ayden. Who could Uh picks up another double 22 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: double twenty and ten. Uh pretty much played Joker even 23 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: Joker is that twenty two and nine? Jack? What are 24 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: your thoughts on this series in particular and with CP 25 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: three and his sons have been able to do and 26 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: what the key to me was, you know, the energy, 27 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: but also if Aidan can basically exile Yoki and they 28 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: got a good chance to winning the series. I think 29 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: the Booker Booker is definitely the best play in this 30 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: series besides the MVP yokis, but he doesn't have that 31 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: guard on his team to be as dominant as Murray was, 32 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: So that's that's gonna be a big void, especially in 33 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: this series, because the sons have all that. They have 34 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame point guard and CP they have 35 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: an all star one gonna be a Hall of Famer 36 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: Devin Booker, and Aiden is Aidan is a big man. 37 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: He's gonna grow into his own. They have all the 38 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: pieces to the puzzle. Never don't have that their wounded 39 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: right now, and I don't think Yoki it's gonna be 40 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: real difficult for him to pull his team out this 41 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: series by himself. But the first game shows how how 42 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: this team has all those aspects and they can and 43 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: they can really be a problem in this series. I 44 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: think you said something big if Aiden can nullify or 45 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: pretty much uncel out Joker. As far as number wise, 46 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: I don't think Denver has a chance because you know, 47 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: Phoenix moves the ball so well, shoots the ball well. 48 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: They're young players. The one thing I've been impressed with 49 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: Phoenix is their young players haven't been scared of the moment. 50 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: They've stepped up, hid big shots, made big defensive place. 51 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: So glad to see CP is uh shoulders coming back 52 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: to life. And man, I definitely underestimated this Phoenix team. 53 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: And I can proudly say that because I said, we've 54 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: always been rooting for Chris and wanting him to do well, 55 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: like we were always big fans of Devin Booker Man. 56 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: So it's fun to watch this Phoenix Suns team player. 57 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: Shout out to Money Williams Man and the other series 58 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: that got started. The Atlanta hasper able to steal home 59 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: court advantage by going into Philly and beating the seventies 60 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: sixers in Game one. Trey Rolling was amazing as usual. 61 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: His confidence right now is off the chart, and his 62 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: team is definitely following the lead. That's a very deep, 63 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,839 Speaker 1: exciting team. And be lad the Sixers with thirty nine 64 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: and nine clearly wasn't his self. Jack Who do you 65 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: feel like he needs to step up for the Sixers 66 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: in order for them to take control of this series. 67 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: The whole team needs to step up. Matt. You can't 68 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: have your wounded star getting thirty nine and nine and 69 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: nobody else show up, you know, everybody on the team. 70 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons needs to come around and and try to 71 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: find a way to be effective offensively. I think Seth 72 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: Seth is doing a great job, but as a team, 73 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: they need to find out how to play better defense. 74 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: Um they were they were lying too much on Danny 75 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: Green to be a defensive stopper. I've never known him 76 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: to be a defensive stopper. So as a team they 77 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: need to come together and be a better defensive team. 78 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: I gotta give Atlanta Hawks coach all the credit in 79 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: the world, Nate McMillan. He was a tough minded player 80 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: and he's really got these kids going in there with 81 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: real confident going in there with a tough mind and 82 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: playing hard as they can. I think both teams both 83 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: have one star in Bed and ice trade. But everybody 84 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: else gonna have to figure out these teams are basically equal. 85 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: I see some kind of way Philly pulling this, pulling 86 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: this series out, but right now I don't see nobody 87 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: else stepping on this team to help him them beat Yeah. 88 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: I definitely think that Atlanta just came out with more 89 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: energy and wanted it more again led by Trey Young. 90 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: But this is a deep team. Jack about Danovich hit 91 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: some big shots down the stretch. They got a vet 92 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: like Gallinari and Lou Williams coming off the bench. Collins 93 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: is playing well. They're young shooters are playing well again. 94 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: This is another team that you know, I needed to 95 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: see it in the playoffs, and they went in there 96 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: and handle business in New York. They come in and 97 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: steal game one in Philly. This team, these you know, 98 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: these young teams are dangerous because they don't know if 99 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: they don't give a ship there, they're going to gets 100 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: the one seed. They feel like they're the best team 101 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: in in in the league right now. That's how you're 102 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: supposed to feel with the young team. So Philly is 103 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: gonna have to do something to counter that confidence because 104 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: if they get another game in Philly, It's gonna be trouble. 105 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: In the heavily anticipated series that everyone thought would be 106 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: very equal, the Brooklyn Nets have come out and beat 107 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: the ship out of Milwaukee. The first two games, minus 108 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: James Harden, Katie and Kyrie have been in a groove. Uh. 109 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: Milwaukee has yet to find their rhythm. Uh. Blake Griffin's 110 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: is showing signs of lobs city Blake Jack, what can 111 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: Milwaukee do to get back in this series? I don't know. 112 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: I don't I really don't know, man to honestly, you 113 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: you you didn't let Katie. You didn't let Katie get 114 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: back in his bag and Kyrie getting his bag, and 115 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: it's gon be hard to stop that train. Also, I 116 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: gotta give Blake Griffin his credit. You know, you need 117 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: somebody to to to be Philsicre, You need somebody to 118 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: be that tough guy, to lay hit on, somebody to 119 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: to just be that enforcing that. Blake is being that 120 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: for this team with not with them not playing DeAndre. 121 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: So I mean it's hard to say, Um, they that's 122 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: obviously that can't stop Katie, they can't stop Kyrie. And 123 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: just imagine if James is back next game, who knows 124 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: you know, so, so then I think Neil Walkers in 125 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: trouble right now. And um, you know, everybody trying to 126 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: make this hype between Katie and and Greek freak man. 127 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: Both of these guys are great. Let let these guys 128 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: both be great in their own weight, you know what 129 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But you can't compare them at all. No, 130 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: they're not even close. Obviously, honest is a two time 131 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: m v P. But I don't even think he's in 132 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: the same tier as Katie. Katie to me, and I've 133 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: been saying it for a while. Before he got hurt, 134 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: he was on the Virgin beat being the best player 135 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: in the league, I think coming off an Achilles, which 136 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: is crazy. I think it's nearly two years since the 137 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: injury happened, he is officially the best player in the NBA. 138 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: I think everyone and knows it. And that's what all 139 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: due respect to Lebron, it's Katie's. It's Katie's league now, 140 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: and I think one thing that Brooklyn is doing now 141 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: is being able to play with house money. Obviously, with 142 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: James pulling his hamstring or tweaking his hamstring in the 143 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: first game, Jack, we both know a week time is 144 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: not enough to heal a hamstring. He may need two 145 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: or three weeks. And the way they're playing, you know, 146 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: if this goes a sweep or even five games, that's 147 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,559 Speaker 1: gonna give him another week and a half to rest 148 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: and then kind of depending on how the flow is, 149 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: you know, they have the ability to still make it 150 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: to the finals without James. I feel like I feel 151 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,679 Speaker 1: like Katie and Kyrie. On another level, the role players 152 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: are playing great. Shout out Brown. He's been doing his thing, 153 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: and all the role players UH have been shooting the 154 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: ball extremely well. But I think again, they're playing with 155 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: house money. Now. The better they play, the more time 156 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to rest James. Because, like I said, 157 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: I think they can still get out of the East 158 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: without James um. But just imagine if he comes back 159 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: and is able to be of itself. I don't see 160 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: anybody in the league fucking with this team right now. 161 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: Next up on the Radar, presented you by Draft Kings, 162 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: we got a big matchup out West that one Utah 163 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: Jazz versus number four l A Clippers. The Clippers are 164 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: pushed the seven games against the MAVs. Kauai stepped up 165 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: got his team to the second round. Jazz or minus 166 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: one thirty favorite to win this series. Why the Clippers 167 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: are plus one oh five Jack thoughts on this upcoming 168 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: series and and some players to watch out for. It's 169 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. Um. The player that I really want 170 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: to see players Boogie. You know this. See they didn't 171 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: have to play a big man in the last series 172 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: against Datas because Datas doesn't really have a solid big man. 173 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: They can play that can be effective. But Rudy Gobert 174 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: is probably the defensive player of the year, and um, 175 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to kind of equal him out. I'll 176 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: try to try to keep him out of the pain 177 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: and try to keep him busy. You gotta play, you, 178 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: big man. We know what Kauai gonna do. We know 179 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: what Paul gear Is gonna do. We know what Donovan 180 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 1: mitch are gonna do. I want to see the battlet 181 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: of the big man. I want to see Sergibaka if 182 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: he's health to come back. I want to see Boogiecusines 183 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: go out there and make his imprint of the game. 184 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing that. No, I agree, I 185 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: definitely think this is gonna be a matchup. Whether their 186 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: bigs are gonna be need to be utilized. They got 187 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: zoo Bach obviously, all looking forward to you getting a 188 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: chance to play. If surges Back is ready, they're gonna 189 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: definitely need him. The West is wide open now. I 190 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: think since the Lakers left, the Clippers are in a 191 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: good rhythm right now. Although Utah is the number one seed, 192 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: I feel like the Clippers have finally kind of figured 193 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: out the chemistry they need. They made a few adjustments 194 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: last series by you know, sitting people down and giving 195 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: guys more minutes. The role players are playing well. Marcus 196 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: Morris stepped up and hit i think seven threes in 197 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: Game seven, tying him with Steph Curry, uh for the 198 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: most threes in the game seven. So when your role 199 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: players are doing things like that, that's will makes you dangerous. 200 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: But at the same time, Utah's role players have been 201 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: playing well too. They always moved the ball. This is 202 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 1: two of the best three point shooting teams in the league, man, 203 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: so it's gonna be fun. Donovan Mitchell is hitting on 204 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: all cylinders, and like you said, the two stars from 205 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: the Clippers are hitting on all cylinders as well. So 206 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a fun series. This Thursday, June tenth, 207 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: we drop our brother baron Davis's episode.

You know, I'm a 230 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: rookie coming off the bench. He was like yeah and 231 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: one and he looked at me.

You can't guard me. 233 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: And Elden Campbell was like, oh, you're gonna let him 234 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: talk to you like that up. So I'm on the 235 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: bench hot, I'm ready to fight everything. Uh. But that 236 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: was like he was cooking me too.

He played in a 241 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: crazy time where it was a young day, Steve Nash, Gilbert, 242 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: you name it. People was out there, all of them, 243 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: all of them at Chris Paulin there Williams at Darren Williams, 244 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: at Jason Kidd, add Nick Van Naxel, at Rod Strickland, 245 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: as Sam Casale, He's all the people we lost to 246 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. It was every era of every night, 247 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: Mike Bibby, like you're getting a different look from a 248 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: different point guard every night. And then you gotta go 249 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: against the Greg Anthony's and the Charlie Wards who are 250 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: like more defensive minded, and Eric Snow's defensive money Mark Jackson. 251 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: I played against Mark Jackson.

You got to 274 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know what I'm saying. But 275 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: at the same time, you got to do what's best 276 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: for you, you you know. And and uh if Dame, you know, 277 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: Dame's gonna be a great player wherever he wherever he goes, 278 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: or wherever he is, He's gonna be a great player. 279 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: I just think that with with with things not with him, 280 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: not with Jason Kidd pulling out, and things not going 281 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: as well as he wants, you know, I think it's 282 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: gonna cause confusion with the next coach coming in, with 283 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: the fact that he he requested Jason Kidd and Jason 284 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: Kidd backing out. I don't think Dame's gonna be at home. 285 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: I don't think they're really gonna take his opinion, uh, 286 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: as they should, as him being the best player. So 287 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: I don't know how to hold donamic is gonna play out. Man. 288 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: I know he's tired of losing. I can say that, 289 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: and uh, I just want to see my brother win 290 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 1: because he did that. He definitely deserved it. Yeah, no, 291 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: I agree, Uh you know, and he made that that 292 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: that post. How long do I stay dedicated? How long 293 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: until opportunity meets preparation? Rest in peace? Nip? And that 294 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: kind of got the red lights buzzing, like, oh, his 295 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: Dames tired of this because he's been adamant about being 296 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: loyal to this team. But like you said, loyalty could 297 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: only last so long when you're not winning in this game. 298 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: This game is about winning. He's that everything you possibly 299 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: can to get his team there, and they can't seem 300 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: to get over the hump. I want to talk about 301 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: this Jason Kidd piece because obviously he him saying he 302 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: wanted Jason Kidd. Then Jason Kidd pulling out. Do these 303 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: guys know something that Jason Kidd pull out because he 304 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: knows Dame is not gonna be there next year, Because 305 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: I mean, no one's gonna want to take that job. Obviously, 306 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: if you lose your best players, So there could be 307 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: something to this um. Obviously, I don't know. I'm just 308 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: throwing stuff off the wall. He still has four years 309 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy six million dollars left. His contract 310 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: ends in five will be thirty four years old, so 311 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: now his time, he's in his prime. It's gonna be 312 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: an interesting summer to see if they can land a 313 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: solid coach and another piece, or if Dame has Dame 314 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: time is up in Portland, we'll have to see.

I think that doubt creeps in sometimes 337 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: as athletes, and that's the one thing that can kill you. 338 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: So I think believing in yourself, because who's gonna believe 339 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: in you if you don't believe in yourself? And I 340 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: would say the last thing is that tree. You know. 341 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: That tree kept my mind stay steady and ready, didn't 342 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: have me too sporadic. So when my opportunity came and 343 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: Golden State, I jumped on it and made myself a 344 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: household name and ran with my career. So that's kind 345 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: of what I did, because I was definitely at my 346 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: lowest point, UM, like two thousand and five, two thousand 347 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: and six lowest point for me. I really don't know. 348 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: I was a second to last pick in the draft. 349 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: I broke both of my feet for I got to 350 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: the NBA tried. I was seventeen teams. So I always 351 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: made love depression, uh and and anything that I dealt, 352 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: I came across our dealt with. You know, I got 353 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: on my knees, gave it to God and uh and uh, 354 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: I knew I had the strength to get through it. 355 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: Trouble don't last always. I never was down to myself. 356 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: I never not believed in myself. But I also knew 357 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: that it's gonna rain some days. But like I said, 358 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: don't rain always, just get up and deal with it. 359 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: When I when I was in the brawl and I 360 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: lost all that money, you didn't hear me complain. You 361 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: didn't hear me blaming on nobody else. I went out 362 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: then defended my brother. But right after I got back, 363 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: got back with the Pacers, we made the playoffs. Who 364 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: made a hell of a run. So uh, it's not 365 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: it's not about what you go through, it's about what 366 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: you do after that, and just pick yourself up and 367 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: keep it moving. Absolutely. Next up we see greatness in you. 368 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: What does the best advice you have for kings and 369 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: queens out there who want to make a difference in 370 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: the world but don't know how.

Uh, 374 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: the seventeen states I've been to this year to give back. 375 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: Since my brother George for died, Terence has been Uh, 376 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: we see greatest. His name is Terence. He's been with 377 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: us every step of the way.

What you can do is do your part. Uh. 381 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: You don't have to have the biggest voice. You don't 382 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: have to be rich, you don't have to be a celebrity, 383 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: you don't have to be any of those things. Everybody 384 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: has a voice and everybody has a part to play. 385 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: If people stop worrying about what other people doing and 386 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: worry about what they control and do their part, we 387 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: will be all right. But it's too many people worrying 388 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: about judging people on what they're doing, what they're not doing, 389 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 1: and how they're doing it. If you just do your part, 390 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: whether you're a man or a woman, keen or queen, 391 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: that's all that matter, because we all have a part 392 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: to play. M couldn't have said any better myself. I mean, 393 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: sports is so sononymous with life in general. I think 394 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: he's learned so many life lessons from sports. And one 395 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 1: quote that I love the Doc Rivers that is being 396 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: a star in your role. Like Jack said, there's a 397 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: role for everybody to play. Play your role, stop worried 398 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: about everyone else, and that's how you can do your part. 399 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: But definitely shout out to Terrace Man very positive brother. Man. 400 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: I've never been around someone who's so goddamn positive. So 401 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: I loved it, loved his energy, and definitely shout out 402 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: the homie. Next fan question, Devin, No one cares. Dame 403 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: is one of the most large superstars in the NBA 404 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: on record, but if Potland doesn't get him help, should 405 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: be loyal enough to leave. Man. We just touched on this, Um, 406 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: I I think he should. You know, I think it's 407 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: time for him to start thinking about itself. Thirty one 408 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: years old. Uh, in the prime of his career, most 409 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: clutch player we have in the game, and he's done 410 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: everything he possibly cancers. He got in this league to 411 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: get this team over the hump, and they haven't been 412 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: able to do it. I respect the loyalty, I love 413 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: the loyalty. But at the same time, man, that clock 414 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: is ticking on his career, so we'll have to see. Uh. 415 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: For me, he deserves to experience the finals one time. 416 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: I'm so blessed and humble that I was able to 417 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: play with him Dr David Robinson and experienced the finals. 418 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: And Dame is as much as work as he as 419 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: much damage and as good as he is. I just 420 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: for me as a fan of Dame, I just want 421 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: him to experience the finals. And if that takes him leaving, 422 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: so be it. Agreed. Agreed. Next up, Lepertron Chris. What 423 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: player on a terrible team has a chance to be 424 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: a star if moved elsewhere? Good question? Ah, what player 425 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: on the terrible team? Uh, that's a good question. I 426 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: think one person I like to Shay Gil just Alexander. 427 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: I know. Uh. Doc at the time was very skeptical 428 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: about putting him in the PG trade, and he was 429 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: the centerpiece that made that trade go. This kid is 430 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,479 Speaker 1: a young star over in Oklahoma City. Who know, I'm 431 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: sure they're gonna try to hold on to him, but 432 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: I would love to see him get in a situation 433 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: where he's in the playoffs a year in, year out, 434 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: because this kid is definitely gonna be a star. Next 435 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: fan question, elus, when was the moment you knew your 436 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: basketball career was over? And what was that? Like? Man, 437 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: I retired, you know after that two thousand seventeen championship 438 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: with the Warriors, and it was just one day I 439 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: woke up and felt like, you know what was next? 440 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: You know, I played a fifteen year career. Um, you know, 441 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: business started moving. Wasn't chance of getting this chance to 442 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: see my twins as much as I'd like to, So 443 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: I wanted, you know, get that dad duty on because 444 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: you know this this travel life is a grind, and 445 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: you know, my transition was smooth. You know, luckily I 446 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: had planned ahead. So like I said, when I tied 447 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: to step away, I knew exactly what I was doing 448 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: and where I was headed. So uh never really looked back. Um. 449 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: Love basketball, still coach it, watch it, analyze it, but 450 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: don't miss it at all. So you know, I was 451 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: one of the lucky ones that kind of got to 452 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: walk away um on my terms and and start chapter two. 453 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: I knew my career was over when my one of 454 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: my favorite people in the whole world, one of my 455 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: favorite coaches in the world, put me in the position 456 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: to say that other players was better than me, when 457 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: he knew when my response was gonna be. And uh, 458 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: I end up getting cut right before the playoffs started 459 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: in San Antonio, popular in a position where he said, 460 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: I need to come in the locker room in front 461 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: of the team and admit that something, that certain players 462 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: were better than me going into the playoffs after I 463 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: just crushed them all in practice and was talking crazy 464 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: trash to him. And Pop, the smartest coach I've ever 465 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: been around, he knows my response is gonna be and 466 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: he knew I wasn't gonna say that. And at the 467 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: time when he asked me to say that, Trace McGrady 468 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: was already on the plane coming in town. And that 469 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: was right before the playoffs. And you know that, man, 470 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: you get cut, you get cut right for the playoffs. 471 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: It's basically over for you. And this this was almost 472 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: at the end of my career, so I knew I 473 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna play again. But at the same time, I 474 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: left with my integrity because I would never say somebody 475 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: is better than me, especially after I just gave him 476 00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: forty in practice. I feel that man. Next up, Nons 477 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: thirty five underscore. How do you guys feel about the 478 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: Lakers early playoff exit and what is the future looking 479 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: like for this team? I knew it was gonna happen 480 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: once a D went down, you know. Um. Obviously I 481 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: d m Brin and told him, you know, he's done 482 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: impossible so many times, just to give him some give 483 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 1: him some motivation, like anything like he needed. But I'm 484 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: a fan of Lebron, you know, and I wanted to 485 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: see him do it impossible again. Obviously didn't happen because 486 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: he's older now, he's he and he was injured as well. 487 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: But I knew once a D went down that team 488 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: was gonna be the same. You know what I'm saying, 489 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: You can't you can't have uh, your your point guard Schroder, 490 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: you know, laying the egg, playing twenty seven minutes and 491 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: not and not scoring one one point at all. I don't, 492 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know if I ever played a 493 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: game where I played twenty minutes and then score at 494 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: one point, the supporting cast wasn't there, And then what 495 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: made it worse, they tried to bring a d back. 496 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: Now you got your team in a deciding game depending 497 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: on the most hurt player on your team. Y'all relying 498 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: on the hurt player and that killed them the momentum 499 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: of the other guys who are healthy that you need 500 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: to play well because now you know what you said 501 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: to them. Okay, well we have a healthy team. We 502 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: have a guy like Montres who's healthy that can help 503 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: this team. But we want to see we can hurt 504 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: player can come and do the job. That killed the 505 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: morality team. And that's what I knew. It was over, 506 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: Uh injuries to me, injuries. They weren't healthy at the 507 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: right time, and that's the key. Uh. You know, Lebron 508 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: has to do so much at his age, he needed 509 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: to be healthy and then your next best player has 510 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: to be healthy too, and they didn't have that. So 511 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens in the future for this team. 512 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: But we're gonna get more into this in our next segment. 513 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say my real analytic take for that 514 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: next up, quick Hitters, what's next for the Lakers? I think, 515 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: I mean, Jackie said a lot of great points in 516 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: the last segment. I think just health is important. Um. 517 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: Health is very important for this team because they're led 518 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: by and an aging superstar and a star who is 519 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: injury prone. And we all said if if they were healthy, 520 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: no matter what seed they were, it would be favored. 521 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: And they weren't healthy. And again the fact that I 522 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: think that they put a D out there knowing he 523 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: had a growing injury. Uh, that didn't look good on 524 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: the Lakers or their staff, their medical staff because again, 525 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: someone who's injury prone, and I think I talked about 526 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 1: either on this show or on ESPN that to me, 527 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: you don't risk a D because he is someone who 528 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: is susceptible to injuries. You don't risk playing with a 529 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: growing like that. We saw even in warmups that he 530 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: didn't look like himself and tweaked it really early. So 531 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: I was disappointed that they actually even let him play. 532 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: And then to your point, jack when a D plays, 533 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 1: role players have to have a different mindset. If they 534 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: would have known a D wasn't playing, they would have 535 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: known they're gonna have to come out and gun in 536 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: this series, so their mindset was different. Uh, a D 537 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: is in than a D is out. So now the 538 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: mindset has completely changed. And to me, they just they 539 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: didn't have it. But again, you know, I think Lebron 540 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: still has to me. I think last year next year 541 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: is possibly Lebron's last window. Um and I and I 542 00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: hate the fact I think someone brought this up, but 543 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: I kind of hate the Lebron slander. You know, this 544 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: guy has been arguably the best player in the game 545 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: since he's came in the game, top two or three 546 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: players in the game since he's been coming in the game, 547 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: and now that his numbers aren't astronomical like we're accustomed to, 548 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: but they're still very solid. And he was hurt. There's 549 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 1: all this all this he's done talk, he's washed talk, 550 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: he's too old talk, which is which is really disappointed 551 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: because this guy's gave him the game so much. And 552 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: and and I can already tell that the slander is 553 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: coming because people love when the mighty fallen. Not that 554 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: he's falling yet, but obviously he's on the back side 555 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: of his career, so I think it's gonna get ugly 556 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: as far as criticism for him, which is gonna be 557 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: fucked up, but you know we're gonna hold him down 558 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: on this show. People hate what they can't beat, point blank. 559 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: People hate what they can't beat. They can never be Lebron, 560 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: they can never be a talented le Bron, so the 561 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: only thing they can do is hate people. So many 562 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: people are all they can do is try to say, well, 563 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: he's not Cobe, he's not Jordan's and as players, we 564 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: don't expect him to be. He's Lebron James, the one 565 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: and only the King, so we don't compare us. We 566 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 1: know what time it is with Lebron, and he's one 567 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: of the best to ever see the court, and we're 568 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: gonna continue to give him his props to continue to 569 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: have his back. Second, for me, karma hits everybody, and 570 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: karma is real, and karma hit the Lakers. You can't 571 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: treat the X six Man of the Year like trash. 572 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: Then when you need him and you try to bring 573 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: him in the game, you expect his mental to be right. 574 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: That's not real. You didn't play him early in the season, 575 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: you didn't play him in the playoffs at the beginning 576 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: of playoffs, and you didn't give him the minute that 577 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: he deserved as coming in as that rain of six 578 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: Man of the Year. So now when a D go down, 579 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 1: now you want to throw him in there to see 580 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: if he can be effective. No, his mental not right. 581 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: So this is karma killing them. They should have known 582 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: that a D was injury prone and it was the 583 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: possibility that he can go down for injury, and with 584 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 1: that possibility, you gotta keep Montres happy. They didn't do 585 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: that and it came to backfire them. Be interesting to 586 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: see what happens to him. Um, if he stays to leave, 587 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: because obviously he expressed his diss his unhappiness. Excuse me? 588 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: So interesting summer for the Lakers. Uh. They always seem 589 00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: to bounce back and grab a piece when they needed, 590 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: so we'll have to see if that happens this summer. 591 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: Next up, we have the Boston Celtics with Danny Age 592 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 1: stepping down and Brad Steam is not able to get 593 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: the job done on the bench. Uh, they promote him 594 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: and put him in Angels position. Uh. So they're looking 595 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: for a coach and uh, man, who do you feel 596 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: like it's the best fit. That's a young athletic team 597 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: with two of the best young guard stars in the game. 598 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: Obviously they missed Jayson Brown in the playoffs, but we 599 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: all know what Tatum can do and did Uh thoughts 600 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: on this team and in this situation, jack Well shout 601 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: out to Danny Ainge man. Dan Age made a lot 602 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: of good moves and and and in his career his 603 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: management also he drafted me. The Signs had one pick 604 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 1: in the draft for the second pick in the draft, 605 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: and he took a chance on me. So I will 606 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: always appreciate Danny Age and have his back. I think 607 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: they need to go with san Carosell. San Carosell won 608 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: the championship there, He's been around DC Rivers for a while. 609 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: He's been in Boston on the bench and and as 610 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: and as a player. I think Santa Sell will be 611 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: a perfect fit for these guys. For me, it has 612 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: to be a player. It has to be somebody that 613 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: Jalen and Uh and Tatum can can can talk to, 614 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: can confide in, and have a lot in common with 615 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: us being players. One thing about players, that's coaching. They 616 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: know a lot about in game moments and how to 617 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: deal with the ups and downs of the game actually 618 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,479 Speaker 1: from a player. So when you can when you can 619 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: correlate that to another player and y'all have that understanding. Yeah, 620 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a better chance that they can build 621 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: and go forward and half success. So I think it's 622 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: it's better for them to have an ex player or 623 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: some type of player to have a voice that these 624 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 1: two young guys respect that it helped them go forward. Yeah, 625 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: definitely too. And even if it's the first time coach. 626 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: You know, obviously it's Chauncey out there, there's Jason Kidd 627 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: who's been a coach before Sam Cassell, as you mentioned, 628 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: and that's the one thing I think sometimes they complained 629 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: about inexperience. But similar to what Steve Nash is able 630 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: to do over in New Uh in Brooklyn, it surround 631 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: himself with great veteran coaches and guys that have been there. So, 632 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: you know, two nice jobs on the horizon this year 633 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: with Boston and the Blazers. I'm sure they'll be more 634 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: a lot of black head coach candidates, so it'll be 635 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: interesting to see if if who gets the opportunities this 636 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: and are also shout out Becky Hammonds. I know she's 637 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: gonna be in the running for a head coach jobs. 638 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: She could possibly be the first female head coach in 639 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: the NBA, so always pulling for her as well. So 640 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna be an interesting not only movement as far 641 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: as players this summer, but you know, there's some big 642 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 1: names out there as far as head coaches, and we'll 643 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: see where they land this summer as well. Hey man, 644 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: give one of the brothers a shot at a coaching 645 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: with two good players. Stop giving the brothers the job 646 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: with with the worst teams in league. Give one of 647 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,479 Speaker 1: the brothers a shot with a great teams like just 648 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: like that did Steve Nash. I think it's time let 649 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: him walk into a good situation. I agree. Last, but 650 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: not least, uh coach Tibbs wins Coach of the Year 651 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: for with the New York Knicks. Obviously hats off to him. 652 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: Great season, completely changed the mindset of that organization, got 653 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: them back to the playoffs. Baby steps. I know their 654 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,719 Speaker 1: fans weren't happy, but it's again baby steps. Although I 655 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: feel like my vote would have went to Monty Williams 656 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: and what him and CP have been able to do 657 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: to Phoenix, but I don't have a vote, so it 658 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But Monty did win Coaches Pick of coach 659 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: of the year. So Jack thoughts on this, man, I 660 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: got I got love with Tims that he's a tough 661 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: minded coach. She wants to win, he has passion. But 662 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: Money wins. Is the coach of the year. Ain't no 663 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: question about that. Everybody, all the players said, all the 664 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: coaches said, we all know. It's a lot of people that, 665 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: uh that's voting for this, that never played the game 666 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: of basketball and don't even understand what it takes because 667 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: for Money, uh, everything he's been through with his for 668 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: his family, to coming back to being getting his team 669 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 1: in Phoenix to the to the top of the Western Conference, 670 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: it takes a lot. Nobody knows what everything he's been through. 671 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: But I'm not really trying to overshadow tips. I congratulate him, 672 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: but we all know who deserves that job, and I 673 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: think Money definitely deserved it completely agree. Rounding out the show, Jack, 674 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: we just came back from Miami this weekend to watch 675 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: the Mayweather Paul fight. A lot of energy. I had 676 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: a good time outside of the rain that kept starting 677 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: and stopping. Um thoughts on this weekend. I had a 678 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: good time, Manum. I enjoyed being down that shot. Show 679 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: time for bringers down. I love boxing. I love being 680 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: that fights. Um. I think for the most part, I 681 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: was proud of Ocho Sinko. Um. It takes a It 682 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: takes a lot to get in there to train to 683 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: actually fight somebody. Like I always say, Man, somebody got 684 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: to hit me or swinging me, and I gotta fight 685 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: out reaction. I can't train and and and walk into 686 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: a ring and get a path to fight. Nobody ain't 687 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: how I move. I'm a street fighter and uh, but 688 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: it's it takes a lot to fight. Fighting on the 689 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: street in boxing is totally different, two different things. Now, 690 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: I gotta I got a salute Chad for going in 691 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: there but fighting all those rounds and finishing the fight 692 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: on his feet. You know, a lot, a lot a 693 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: lot of people don't understand how hard it is, so 694 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: I salute him. My Muslim brother bobble Jack came on 695 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: and put on the good fight. You know, he really 696 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: punished that guy. Um de Floyd and uh and uh 697 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: and Logan Paul situation for me, I'm giving all the 698 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: props to Logan not not somewey as far as fighting wise. 699 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: Everybody knows who Money Maywear is. He's a businessman. Nobody 700 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: makes more money than Floyd. Floyd Hey like Floyd say, 701 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: if it ain't beneficial, it's artificial. It's about the money. 702 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: I understand that, but I don't want to see four 703 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: flight no more. I don't want to see four and 704 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: fight no more at all. I expect him to punish 705 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: Logan at least knock him down. But we were right there, Matt, 706 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: and Logan did his thing. He stood in there with Floyd, 707 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: even though it's a big way difference, and this is 708 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: the weight class is weight classes for a reason, as 709 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: you see now, it was entertainment. But I don't want 710 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: to see Floor fight again. I want to flow out 711 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: the ride off in the sunset, continue to make his money, 712 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: and all his business eventually got because he's still because 713 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: people are. What people don't understand is even though he 714 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: now he might not fight again, he's still making thirty 715 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: part of million off the quarter years, so I mean 716 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: out of boxing the year. Floyd is one of the 717 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: smartest boxes and part of the smartest business man we've 718 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: ever seen, so that aspect of it. He did his job. 719 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: But I don't want to see him fight no more. 720 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: Uh Logan, Paul, I don't see him being a professional 721 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: fight either. Um when if he parts somebody his size, 722 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: they're probably punish him. But he's entertaining. He did his job. 723 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: He made twenty million. Salute, Floyd made a hunt in 724 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: thirty million. Salute to him to if it ain't about 725 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: the money, what it is about hmm again Yeah, definitely 726 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: shout out to Otosinko man. To me, he won three 727 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: out of four rounds, and it's disappointing to me that 728 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: all people want to show is the knockdown because he 729 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: for him not being a boxer, he outboxed someone who 730 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: aims to fight for a living. You know we were there, 731 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: Ocho one three out of those four rounds, got clipped 732 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: with his chin up one time and went down but 733 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: then got back up. But definitely shout out to him. 734 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: The Mayweather in Paul's situation. To me, it is what 735 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: it is. I mean, I think you said it all. 736 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: It was a business move for Floyd. Um Logan looked 737 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: about fifty pounds heavier, but you know that he went 738 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: eight rounds and you know we were again, we were 739 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: right there and there were times where Floyd was coming 740 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: for him and hit him with some good shots and 741 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: I just think the weight difference, you know, logan eight 742 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: some of those. So obviously, Floyd, the greatest boxer ever, 743 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: has made plenty of money, did plenty of things, but 744 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: this was this was definitely a money play. And then 745 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: you see, uh, you know, Jake Paul will fight Tyrone 746 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: Woodley later in this summer. Uh. You know, boxing purists 747 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: hate this, but at the same time, I just think 748 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: it's bringing eyes to boxing. You know, whether you agree 749 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: with it or not, it's bringing eyes to boxing. These 750 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: guys are making money. So what I hope comes out 751 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: of this is, you know, we can continue the momentum 752 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: for boxing and hopefully get these fighters paid more because 753 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: you know, these guys are coming in Logan Paul is 754 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: gonna make upwards the thirty forty million when it's all 755 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: said and done. You saw Floyd is gonna make a 756 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: hundred or more off this. You know, uh, Logo, Jake's 757 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: gonna get paid Tyroone Woodley off this one fight is 758 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: gonna make more than he ever made in his m 759 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: m A career. So hopefully what this does is just 760 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: starts getting these fighters in both sports paid more because 761 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: they definitely deserve it. But you know, it was a cool. 762 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: It was an event. It was entertainment, um, and that's 763 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: what I took it as. But I agree. I think, 764 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: you know, Floyd has nothing else to prove. Uh, He's 765 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: still gonna make money regardless. But I respect this, this 766 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: Paul wave right now. I think a lot of people 767 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: are hating on it. I think at some point it's 768 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: gonna come to an end. But until somebody, it's coming 769 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: to an end. Bro, It's coming to an end as 770 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: soon as somebody, until someone BCSE dudes, man, you know, 771 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: check check it or respect it, you know what I mean, 772 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: either one either way. So we're gonna see what happens 773 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: this summer with t Woodley. I think a lot is 774 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: on the line for the culture uh in that fight. Uh. 775 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: And will definitely be front road checking that out. Well 776 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: that's a rap. Appreciate you guys joining us.
