6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: dad dude? And today, well let's start off what I'm

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: up to. So yesterday the La Chargers and Pacifico came

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: to my crib and filmed an episode of pad Crashers.

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: I know it ain't MTV Cribs, but you know your

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: boy was on that before too. Y'all gotta take my

11
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: episode of MTV Cribs out, I think twenty two years

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: ago something what Russell Swimmons and myself. Russell Simmons and me,

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: same episode, So obviously he went first segment, second segment

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: and save me like a commercial break. But I got

15
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 1: my crib in there as well. It was a great episode.

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: My daughter at the time was like two or three

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: years and everybody was clowning me because she was hanging

18
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: on my side view mirrors and trying to do pull

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: ups while I'm over there trying to show my crib off.

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: Amazing because she's twenty four now, so that lets you

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: know how crazy long ago that was. So yesterday they

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: came over to do that version of a you know,

23
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: a former charger to call us legends. I love that one.

24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: When you retired, you get better than you were when

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: you played, right, a charger legend Marcellus Wiley, And they're

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: going around my crib and I'm the second episode, which

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: is great, Right, I'm not the second best Charger ever,

28
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: but I'm the second episode they ever did. And we

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: all know who they did first. LT. I saw his

30
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: pad crasher two million views in counting. Right, let's just

31
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: say my crib don't look like his. LT's crib is insane.

32
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: I don't even want to give away any of the particulars,

33
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: but gold watch pad crashers with LT. Then you know

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. He lives in Texas though, just

35
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: remind y'all he lives in Texas, no state taxing. Let's

36
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: just say you can stretch your dollar a little more,

37
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: and it shows with his crib mind blowing. What else happened?

38
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: My wife had that interview with those executives. It went well.

39
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: It went so well that maybe by the end of

40
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: the week, I can finally tell you what's happening in

41
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: Wiley world, but not yet. But basically, the ball is

42
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: on the one yard line and its first in goal

43
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: and she better get into the end zone, damnit, or

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm about to go crazy in these stands. But she's

45
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: killing it with the executives and we're that close. Other

46
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: than that, we kind of had a pre celebration dinner.

47
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: Since my mother in law's in town, we gotta built

48
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: in babysitter. Took her to catch Steak and if you

49
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: guys are familiar with La and our dining scene, cat

50
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: steak is the new hotspots. It's where everybody goes, right.

51
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: So I literally pull up and I'm kind of not nervous,

52
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: but like them hot spots, my wife made a reservation

53
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: our before. I'm like, man, let's just be careful. Why

54
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: we got to go to the a spot. Let's just

55
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: go to our normal pub down the street and just

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: get it in. So we go to the hot spot

57
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: and we get there and literally this guy calls out

58
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: my name. He's like that dude, what's up? And he

59
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: was the doorman, and like a lot of ladies know,

60
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: if the doorman your homie are you good that night. Right,

61
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: So he's like that, dude, what's up, baby, ain't seeing

62
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: you a while? A long story short, his name is Marcus.

63
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: I got love for him. I'm supposed to talk to

64
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: his kids, he said. He slid to my DMS before ooh,

65
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: and tried to holler about talking to the kids. Now

66
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: we're in contact. I'm gonna be out there and Carson

67
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: talking to the kids. All right, let's get into this

68
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: show right now. What our daily morants moment? This is

69
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: in this just in our daily morand topic. I look,

70
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: I am not piling on. I'm not trying to kill

71
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: my dog. But he is famous. He is great at

72
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: what he does. And this story just evolves it the

73
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: saga continues. So here's the update. John Moran will be

74
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: away from the Grizzly least indefinitely. That's not good to hear.

75
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: He's entering a counseling program that's good to hear in Florida.

76
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: And there's no timetable for his return. Now, I think

77
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: it's callous if you did put a timetable on it.

78
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: So there may be one. They just don't want to

79
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: say there is one, because obviously y'all don't want y'all

80
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: championship opportunity to go bye bye this year because Memphis

81
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: was balling this year, right, So we're gonna get him

82
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: from counseling, let him understand his ways, and hopefully come

83
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: back a better man. Let's not forget that John Moran

84
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: is not only a man, but a father. He has

85
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: a child. So all of this stuff is playing out

86
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: for us to consume, but that baby's gonna grow up,

87
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: and with the Internet, whatever you did, they can retrieve.

88
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: And you do not want to stain the brain of

89
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: that baby without knowing how great their daddy was in

90
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: sports and as great as he can be off the court,

91
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: because right now he's losing that competition off the court.

92
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: Made me think about the times I've been to counseling.

93
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: I was brought to tears, and outside of death, outside

94
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: of my best friend dying, my mother dying, this was

95
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 1: the most the deepest, like the most pulling emotional moment

96
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: I've had in my life. It's like top five for sure.

97
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: And it was when I was talking to my counselor,

98
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: and you know, you go to counselor. I got this problem,

99
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: I got this problem. I got this problem, and everybody

100
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: else is the problem. Usually right, that's day one. You're

101
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: telling everybody about everyone else and what they did to

102
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: you and what you feel like. Then you evolve in

103
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 1: that counseling session from just pointing a finger to starting

104
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: to look into yourself, and then you, if you have

105
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: a good counselor, you'll come to a smation that is

106
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: really a balance between yeah, some messed up ship that

107
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: happened to you, right, and you are calls in some

108
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: of this messed up stuff. So you kind of get

109
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: into that and then you can continue if you want.

110
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: I remember when my counselor looked at me after everything

111
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: I had told him everybody else's fault, Okay, some of

112
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: that I did. He said, marcellis these two words that

113
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: brought me to tears. He said, you won. I said

114
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: what he said, you won? You won? And I was like, what,

115
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: like right now, I'm about to cry again. It's crazy

116
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: because he's like he knew me. He was like, dude,

117
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: you have nothing else to prove. Just to achieve. You

118
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: have nothing else to prove, Just achieve it, like you won. Man,

119
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: you came from and you did it. You're there, What

120
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: are you doing? What are you trying? To prove Jan Moran.

121
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: I hope I hope he hears that. I hope that

122
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: counselor in there gets them to a place where it's like, hey,

123
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: young man, all this dug life in or this little

124
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: gangster stuff or whatever you're trying to represent, you won.

125
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: You have nothing left to prove. Just achieve. Just go

126
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: out there and be the greatest version of yourself every

127
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: time we see you. Nothing left to prove. Right. And

128
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: another thing that hit me when I was in counseling

129
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: was that you get most upset with the things that

130
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: you see that you're guilty of as well. And I

131
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: never put that together. He was like, the stuff you

132
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: see out there, you all mad about it. He's like,

133
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: you know you're guilty of that as well. I was

134
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: like what. He's like, yeah, because you do it too.

135
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: That's why you can even recognize it. He said, it

136
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't even be in your scope if you weren't participating

137
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: in it to some degree. And I was like, damn,

138
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: that's real. He went through my history from before when

139
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: I used to cheat on every girl I was with,

140
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: like high school, college and all that, and he was like, yeah,

141
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: you used to hate them because you were a cheater,

142
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: and I was like, you're right. I was like I

143
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: used to every girl as soon as I meet him, Hey,

144
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: who you've been with? And then after that trying to

145
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: figure out who I knew. Then I was like, all right,

146
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: don't cheat on me, don't cheat on me. Don't you

147
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: disrespect me like that. And it was really I was

148
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,239
Speaker 1: trying to beat him to the punch almost like because

149
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: I knew I was a cheater. So long story is

150
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: short man for John morant Ay, big dog. You won.

151
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: Now let's go out there keep winning. I want to

152
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: talk about Steph Curry talking trash to Chris Paul. You

153
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: know him, the mouthpiece spitter himself, Steph Curry, I dude,

154
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: always spinning out of his mouthpiece. God Lee, why where

155
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: it if you don't want to wear it? Yesterday though

156
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: he hit him, He hit him with a sugar night

157
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: he hit him with a death row records. Oh, Chris Paul,

158
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: that's the dog though, that's for homie. But he had

159
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: to take this one. Steph Curry guarded by Chris Paul

160
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: out there by the three point line is something that

161
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: he tries to come inside Chris Paul all over and

162
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: somebody else, big man and maybe eighton try to get

163
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: in there, Steph Curry and one makes the layup with

164
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: the mouthpiece, you know him always dangling. He said, this

165
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: ain't two thousand and fourteen no more? What this ain't

166
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: two thousand and fourteen no more? Oh he clowning that,

167
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: Live City, He clowning that. And it made me think, damn,

168
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: where were they in two thy fourteen versus where they

169
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: are now? Because Steph Curry like a bra one. You

170
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: can't guard me like you used to guard me, old man,

171
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: basically clowning. But two oh a difference a day makes

172
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: in this case, what a difference nine years makes? Because

173
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: let's go through the resumes from two thousand and fourteen

174
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: to oh my god, what has happened? At that time,

175
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: CP three was already All NBA First Team four times,

176
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: and let's just be real, I don't think he's gonna

177
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: make All NBA First Team ever again. But so he's

178
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: four times when Steph Curry was two fourteen talking about

179
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: right reigning the All Star MVP, and also he was

180
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: in his tenth year in the league. Steph Curry in

181
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and fourteen only made one All Star at

182
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: that time, and didn't have a championship ring. Steph Curry. Now,

183
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: oh my god, he has four championship rings, two time

184
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: NBA MVP. So he got all of that after it,

185
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: and he's a nine time all start That means eight

186
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: more since then, regular season record for three pointers, scoring leader,

187
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: most threes in history, Warriors all time leading score. Okay,

188
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: now let's get some other layers before we chopped this up.

189
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: He's also gotten a lot bigger, a lot stronger, more physical,

190
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: a lot tougher. Let's be real, the ankles have held up.

191
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: And this is not the first time they've been back

192
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: and forth in their conversation of beef. Right, all right,

193
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: he probably went at him because CP three made fund

194
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: of Steph's shimmy. Y'all remember that in twenty eighteen, didn't

195
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: this shimmy? And he wouldn't let Curry CP three practice

196
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: on the court the year after two nineteen vaguely remember that.

197
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: But then the research, I'm like, oh, so they've been

198
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: doing this, you know, a death by thousand paper cuts,

199
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: a little bit, slice you over here, slice you over there,

200
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: and then you hit me with the all you clown

201
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: in the shimmy too. Now this ain't two thousand, fourteen

202
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: No more. Whoa man that's from fire right there? Because

203
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: what can you say of you, Chris Paul, Like Steph

204
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: Curry been on a run? This ain't this ain't even

205
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: a run. This is like this, Honey, I'm going out

206
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: for a jog and never come back home. Like this

207
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: is this? Dude, just is going? Where you going? Steph?

208
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: Like Steph Curry trying to crack the top ten being

209
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: real and there is a conversation of him being in

210
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: the top ten. I think he's still on the outside

211
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: of that. You guys tell me in the comments, but

212
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: he's not in my top ten yet. But then it's

213
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: like in terms of impact, like I don't know a

214
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: kid alive that doesn't want to be Steph Curry, my

215
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: son who is always my litmus tests. He tells me, Daddy,

216
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: Lebron James is the best basketball player ever, and he

217
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: says it like a matter of fact. I'm like, why,

218
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: I agree, But why do you say that? Because we

219
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: learned about him in school And I was like, oh, okay,

220
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: I said, did you guys learn about Michael Jordan? Yeah,

221
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: but they say Lebron's better and that's it. Like, don't

222
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: ask another question daddy. I was like, damn, they goverre

223
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: brainwashing these kids in La Lebron's The King, right, But

224
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: then where does Steph Curry fit in that conversation? Oh,

225
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: my son and all his friends. Everything they do they

226
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: want to be like Steph, you know, and we grew

227
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: up like Kobe. Now they all Steph Curry. They're wearing

228
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: all the neon and under armor everywhere. Is crazy. But

229
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: I've asked some interactions with Steph. I actually did a

230
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: documentary with Steph that should be released sometime this year.

231
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: We'll see when that comes out. But he used to

232
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: come on Sports Nation and I remember asking them, I

233
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: think on air and off air. I was like, dog,

234
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: for real, how do you shoot? And he was like, well,

235
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: everyone shoots different. I was like, duff, but I know

236
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: that I don't shoot like you. I said, tell me

237
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: how do you shoot? I want to learn like you.

238
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: And the only thing I remember is that he got

239
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: a tattoo somewhere, like a little arrow or something that

240
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: he says that does something for him in the aim maybe,

241
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: But he said, these two fingers go through the net

242
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: and I'll start doing it. And I was like, that

243
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: ain't helping me. I was still missing and missing, but

244
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: I think live on air, we had a shooting contest

245
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: and guess who won. I beat Steph Curry in the

246
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: shooting contest. Now, I will admit it was rigged or

247
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't ten feet him on the NBA court, But

248
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: still Steph curryshon lose, even throwing trash in a waste

249
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: basket to me, but he lost that time. It's as

250
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: good to see that he has realized so much of

251
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: that potential that Mark Jackson. Remember early Mark Jackson with

252
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: the bad ankles. Mark Jackson said best shooting duo in

253
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: NBA history, Splash Brothers, and everyone laughed at him at

254
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: that moment. Everyone clowned them at that time. And look

255
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: what it became. Excuse me, I'm sorry, Steph, that's disrespectful.

256
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: Look what it's still becoming like he is still rolling

257
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: dog won the MVP like this dude's next level, and

258
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: that beet between him and Chris Paul. God, I'm in

259
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: the locker room. I can't live even though Chris my dog,

260
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: he went in that one my lot and imagine Chris

261
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: had to lead, had the lead, had live city, had

262
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: it all. It felt like in two and fourteen. But

263
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: perseverance once again, keeping your head down. Oh, keep clowning,

264
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: keep joking, whatever that may be. Now Chris Paul's on

265
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: the team this year that could win it all. Let's

266
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: be real. Kevin Durant comes back in the playoffs. That

267
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: team is loaded as well. It's gonna be fun to

268
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: see them go at it this year. And now there's

269
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: a little more spice in that recipe because we know

270
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: that they have not forgotten their rivalry from Golden State,

271
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: Clip City, Chip City. And now we're gonna see what

272
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: happens when CP three sees them in the playoffs. Hopefully. Man,

273
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: what do you say again, this ain't twenty fourteen. No,

274
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: mo go let's go to Vegas. I remember yesterday we

275
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: said we're going to Green Bay. Nobody want to go. Hey, man,

276
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: get off me. Do everybody want to go to Vegas? They? Well, yeah,

277
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: something about Vegas. It's just whispered to you. Hey, let's

278
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: mess around, let's do something crazy, let's walk around, let's

279
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: just go get it, let's live our childhood dreams. I'm like, no,

280
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: I just landed. I'm about gonna look the store and

281
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna casito and hopefully don't choke on the cigarette smoke.

282
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Vegas just brings it out of y'all. Give

283
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: a damn who you are. Whatever animal you got caged up,

284
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: Vegas got the keys. It's like, hey, David, how you doing.

285

Speaker 1: Then they pump that oxygen in them damn rooms. You

287
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: up over like eighteen twenty hours, because after that you're

288
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: just gonna act a fool. And I know me when

304
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: is gonna deal with in Vegas. But he's gonna play

305
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: for the Raiders. The question is really is this an

306
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: upgrade from Derek Carr or downgrade. One fan was quoted

307
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: as saying that Raiders really got rid of Derek Carter

308
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: downgrade to Jimmy G. Well, let's talk about the deal.

309
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: First three years, sixty seven and a half million dollars,

310
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: thirty four million guarantee. That's a damn good deal for

311
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. Why how Because Jimmy G can't stay healthy? Right,

312
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: even last year when he wasn't the starter and you

313
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: came in as a backup, your ass got hurt. Even

314
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: when you were in New England way back in the days,

315
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: how at all started Tom Brady four game suspension, Jimmy G.

316
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: Come play these four games, let us go four and

317
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: oh you go back on the bench. You're gonna get

318
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: paid next year. Well he still got paid that next year.

319
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: But Jimmy J got hurt in those four games. I

320
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: think he only started two of them. Like this, dude,

321
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: just stay hurt. And I know what it is to

322
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: be injury prone, so I am actually sympathetic to him.

323
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: But you can see right now this is a good

324
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: deal and a good situation for Jimmy G. Reunited with

325
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels. You gotta love that. And when Jimmy G

326
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: is healthy, well, y'all stopped playing. It is clear that

327
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: he is better than Derek Carr. Why let's start with

328
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: the simple, the team's success. Jimmy G has been to

329
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl before, right, Jimmy G has been in

330
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game? What three times? Like Jimmy G. Yeah,

331
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, when he's on there, it's not the prettiest, Well,

332
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: his face is, but his game is not the prettiest

333
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: in terms of like, oh yeah, that looks like a

334
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: top five quarterback. It ain't Justin Herbert out there, but

335
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: he gets the results greater than Justin herb Or even

336
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: though I know Herbert's a better quarterback and Herbie's my

337
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: guy and he's top five, and don't even argue me

338
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: on that one, it's still a difference. Between someone who

339
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: looks the part and plays the part, but someone who

340
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: just makes the play better, you know, like Jimmy G

341
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: just makes the entire production better. Somehow, some way. They're

342
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: greater than us some of their parts. With Jimmy G

343
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: when he's healthy. But it's a roll of the dice

344
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: Vegas pun intended because the gamble is ability versus availability.

345
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: Then y'all love this in school when you learn to

346
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: like the roots of words, because I used to just

347
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: you know, you get these compound words and you know,

348
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 1: multisyllable words and all stuff. He's just like you just

349
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: think it's a word. You don't think that somebody really

350
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: is thought back. And there's like ability availability. I was like, oh,

351
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: you can buy them too, And I was like, oh,

352
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: that makes sense right. And Jimmy G, with all that

353
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: ability he has compromises himself and his value because of

354
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: his lack of availability. You just can't trust it. I

355
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: remember coaches coming up to me, especially offensive coordinators. I

356
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: played with some great ones too, like a North turner

357
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: and more than an athlete that can just go out

358
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: there and score a touchdown anytime, but also mess up

359
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: the next play. They want consistency more than consistency. They

360
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: call it reliability another ability. Right, boy, they were smart

361
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: back in the days when they put these words together, right,

362
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: and they want someone they can count on when we

363
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: call this play, we know what's gonna happen. We know

364
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: your level of execution. They prefer that guy, a B

365
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: plus guy over a plus guy that all of a

366
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: sudden gonna give you an F on the next test,

367
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: because that guy's gonna ride the wave. You just can't

368
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: trust him. He's not reliable. One thing about Jimmy g

369
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: is he's reliable. He has reliability. This doesn't have the

370
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: greatest availability. So when you start to believe in him,

371
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: you start to trust on him, he's gonna cheat on you.

372
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna get hurt. He's not gonna come home. He's

373
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: gonna be in the ice tub. You're gonna be sitting

374
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: there like damn it. Here we go again to another

375
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: backup situation. That's why the terms were a lot lower

376
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: for potential franchise quarterback. Is it a good fit? Looks

377
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: like it? Vante Adams is like Vonte Adams, got an

378
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: interested to take. He's like, first of all, if you

379
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: have not been blowing me up in the last three weeks.

380
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: Do not hit me now asking about Jimmy g and

381
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: what I feel about this trade, Like, don't even think

382
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: about it. Don't even ask me about picking him up.

383
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: And I thought that was funny because it shows me

384
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: two things. One DeVante Adams does not want to be bothered,

385
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: y'all stay off this dude's phone. And two he just

386
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: want a ball. He just want a ball and not

387
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: be bothered. Ain't nothing wrong with that. That's straight focused

388
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: because I told people last year, Oh, he's going to

389
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: Vegas just for Derek Carr, Like I don't know if

390
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: another man, and is that damn locked in step with

391
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: somebody else to the point where they're gonna just move

392
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: cross country just because of another dude. And oh we

393
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: went to college together. That sounds cute. Obviously, there's more

394
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: to the equation than that. It was the fact that

395
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: it was Las Vegas, no state tax, Derek Carr, who

396
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: you were familiar when you knew he could sling it.

397
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: But also it's the raiders in that brand, like you're

398
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: in Vegas, n il money for the pros if you

399
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 1: want to go there. Basically, like that's a huge hop

400
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he didn't have that Tacobell

401
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: commercial in Green Bay. Did he tell me if I'm wrong?

402
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: Y'all know I ain't wrong, like he popping up everywhere,

403
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: Davante Adams. And even though it seemed like a little

404
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: bit of a struggle this year for them to get

405
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: on the same page, the numbers were fine. Davantae Adams

406
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: survived that. And you think he's gonna go with Derek Carr,

407
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: he's leaving with New Orleans. Hell nah, he's sitting still, right,

408
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: and he's sitting still and getting him a better quarterback.

409
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: The thing is what a quarterback always be on the

410
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: field with them. That's the conversation. That's the gamble, and

411
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: we'll see where those dice slides. Well. The NBA is

412
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: trying to do something along with the NBPA that never

413
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: flowed to me. NBPA, like what like the NFLPA. Oh yeah, yeah, NBPA.

414
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: It sound like a little fake bowling league and something,

415
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: all right. The NBA and the NBPA are moving closer

416
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: to agreeing to a rule that players must play in

417
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: a minimum number of games to be eligible for major

418
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: awards such as MVP. Ah, they're trying to legislate, Hey,

419
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: y'all planning. Are y'all not getting what y'all want in

420
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: terms of accolade? I like this, So we're now having

421
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: a conversation of awards versus rewards. They sound alike, but

422
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: they're different. Remember that, well that hominems, Remember that like

423
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: eighth grader, Like there's a hominem. This sounds like like, oh,

424
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: oh that's cool, shut up, teacher. All right, So awards

425
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: versus rewards and will it work? I'm here to tell

426
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: the NBA right now that if a guy has committed

427
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: to load management, he doesn't care about the awards. He

428
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: just cares about the rewards. You get it. He cares

429
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: about his money, and he cares about a championship. He

430
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: does not care if you're gonna just name him MVP

431
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: or any of the other awards you give out. Let

432
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: me tell you why these guys walk around and put

433
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: their hands on the Bible to the fact that they

434
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: don't even believe fully in the MVP. Right, how many

435
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: times you heard this? Jordan should have wanted every single year,

436
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: Oh man, Nash should have never wanted over Kobe right.

437
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: Oh oh, they're gonna give it out three times in

438
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: the row. It's gonna be Yoki like all of that.

439
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: They already taking shots at the MVP because they were

440
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: like if Jordan didn't get it all the time when

441
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: he was in his prime, or Kobe or Lebron, and

442
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: it's like whatever, it's a traveling trophy. We know that.

443
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: The MVP, especially, they look in and say, all right,

444
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: who qualifies. Okay, now one more tier higher who qualifies

445
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: that hasn't won it, damn it? All right, forget it,

446
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: give it to him again, because this sounds great. And

447
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: I think the players they certainly see behind the veil,

448
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: they're not being fooled by, Oh wow, the MVP, because

449
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: it's just lost some of its luster. And you can't

450
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: put a carrot like that in front of a guy.

451
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: Think about what you're asking them. Oh, you're hurt or

452
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: you're just load managing, but I want you to risk

453
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: that whatever that schedule is for you, for you to

454
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: go out there and just play as hard as you

455
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: can and hopefully when the one award that you're going

456
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: to qualify for or get your rest, make sure your

457
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: body's fine and you're healthy, and go out there and

458
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: get paid and get a championship. Hit me, see, I

459
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: could get paid in the championship over here taking my

460
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: time too, because I'm contemplated. Nit me see or I

461
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: could get an MVP. They get your head, What this

462
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: is not gonna work. This is not the carrot you

463
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: dangle in front of the guys. Play more, play harder,

464
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: play longer, and you can get the MVP. Hey, look,

465
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: it's four hundred and fifty of us. One of us

466
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: gonna get the MVP, but a lot of us could

467
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: get paid and a few of us could get the

468
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: championship because it's what fifteen guys per teen? Oh man,

469
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense. So it takes me back to

470
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: a should Night comment actually, which is crazy about this

471
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: awards versus rewards, right, because a lot of times it's

472
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: basically rich and famous, rich or famous? Right? And I

473
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: remember should Knight. There's some interview and he was at

474
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: a Hamburger stand doing an interview and he said, I

475
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: think it was quote, I want to be rich, not famous.

476
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: I want to be able to go to this Hamburger

477
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: stand without being bothered, but can buy everything here. And

478
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: that's crazy, right. Have you ever had that conversation I

479
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: want to be rich or famous because everybody says so

480
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: of course, rich and famous, but the fame part could

481
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: be a problem, right, y'all of a sudden can't do

482
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: the things you want to do. I've been around some

483
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 1: superstars before, hanging out with superstars before. Told you, just

484
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: like the other day, I was with Little Wayne the

485
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: other day, was said the entertainer. These guys are bigger

486
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: than me right by far. And when you're out with them,

487
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: there are perks, a lot of perks, and then there's

488
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: a lot of problems too. You'd be like dog. You

489
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: can't just go to the bathroom. You gotta alert people.

490
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 1: It's so funny. They gotta text somebody to tell them

491
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: what they about to do, to make sure it's clear

492
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: to do it. They can't enter the same way all

493
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: the time, etc. So rich or famous, basically, I think

494
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: the NBA is almost asking these players that you want

495
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: to accolade to make your famous, or do you want

496
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: to do what's best for you to make you rich,

497
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: which is play, play well, be healthy, and win a championship.

498
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: It's just an interesting way that the NBA is trying

499
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: to now motivate their players. I just don't think it's

500
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: gonna work. Those guys who are committed to it Kauai.

501
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: You can say, maybe Lebron to some degree of late

502
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: these injuries that we know he's like, what was he

503
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: like a Decepticon, He's like indestructible. You can't mess with him.

504
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: But at the same time of late foot here, foot,

505
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,479
Speaker 1: their ankle there, like vague injuries just to maybe buy

506
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: him some rest. I'm not sure, but if you're committed

507
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: to load management, are now you're gonna rip up those

508
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: plans because the commissioner said, hey, you can't win unless

509
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: you play X amount of games, no MVP for you

510
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: the cash Like, so what you're all ready to rig

511
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: the MVP against me? Ain't gonna win even if I

512
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: play eighty two games? Well, you know how we in

513
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: the show every single day. Let's get into a Wiley ism.

514
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: Here's a Wiley ism that is interesting and it talks

515
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: about if you want to attain something in this world, right,

516
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: the price of getting anything is paying attention. The play

517
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: on it is the price to getting anything. Pay attention. Interesting.

518
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: I swear the race starts with who is paying attention,

519
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: and then the second quarter of the race is who's

520
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: coming with intention? Like everything that I've ever been able

521
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: to do starts with pay attention to it. Like I

522
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: remember growing up in class and my boys wanted to

523
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: clown and talk during the class or just never were focused,

524
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: distracted back of the class telling jokes. Remember those triangles

525
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: we used to build and playing football, your boys, we

526
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: used to play attention. We really used to let this

527
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: NFL CFL cats used to play the game. We've been

528
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: back and then I was like, man, I ain't gonna

529
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: be back here with y'all along. I don't even went

530
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: back there really when I was finish my work. But

531
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: may man, y'all ain't doing jack back here talking about everybody.

532
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: They didn't pay attention. So if you don't pay attention,

533
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: how in the hell you ever gonna come with intention?

534
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: That's how you start to make your things come to life.

535
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: So I learned a long time ago that that's the

536
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: price you gotta pay, like really be into it, then

537
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: start to put your signature on it, because attention is intention.

538
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: As I always tell you, guys, don't just be there,

539
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: be present, and that's what raising kids, that's what your job.

540
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: That's when you're out on a date, like, don't just

541
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: be there. Man, If I see another couple on a

542
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: date doing this like me and my wife do Hey,

543
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: you can't do that in the beginning. You gotta do that.

544
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: Then once y'all married, you like me and my wife,

545
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: my wife and I every time? Oh, would you say,

546
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: and my wife ordering food for me? Baby? You want

547
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: it or not? Yes, of course I'm ordering too. Then

548
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: that's what I'm doing for leman, your own oh man,

549
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: So if you want something, man, there's no science to

550
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: this in terms of like you going this way, going

551
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: that way, there is a science to it if you

552
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: just stick to the script like you go over there,

553
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: you do your own thing. Go rogue, go rogue. No

554
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: science over there, brother, stick to the script, attention, intention, invention.
