WEBVTT - Conversations About James Harden 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:04.440 Watch up and welcome back to another episode of No 0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.480 Sealer's Podcast with your hosts Now fuck that with your 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:17.680 load glasses Malone. Yeah, So what I've been doing specifically 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.239 is so this so this ain't my first time. 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:21.560 Like the first time time. 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:25.000 Is like like in twenty fifteen, I was reading the Bible. 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:27.520 I was reading the Vidicus. I'm not right. 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:33.120 Wait wait wait wait, I wasn't expecting you to say 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:34.919 that this is what you get for show it up. 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:41.320 And also of all the books littus. 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.839 Right straight up, like I ordered all of the Bibles 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:45.720 and separate books. 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:47.800 I didn't know you could do that. 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:52.280 Yeah, yeah, so I I could. So I'm not mad 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.000 at Constantine and the counselor not see it for like 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.000 putting all the books together. But the problem is most 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.040 people look at it like it's one book. So it 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.440 helps my brain a lot more because I have the 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.240 books at this point separate. 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.040 To recognize the true I'm sure right. 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.800 So I was reading the Viticus back then, and it 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:16.320 was a level of discernment that came over me that said, 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.760 if you're not reading what you're eating, then that's like 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.600 one of the greatest sins. I don't know how I 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:23.720 was reading some stuff and it just came to me 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.120 that way, that type of discernment. So I understood at 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.199 that point I needed to start reading what I was eating. 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:39.839 And at that time in my life, I learned about refined, refined, pasteurize, 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.480 all these different words. And as I started reading different ingredients, 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.200 I was like, some of this shit, I had to 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.199 look it up a lot of it. So I was like, Okay, 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.520 I'm not gonna look. I'm not gonna eat something I 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.559 don't know what it is. That first time, it helped 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:57.320 me shad roughly sixty five percent of my excess body fat, 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.000 like most of the way right, and that was important. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:01.560 But then I hit a wall and I didn't know 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.960 what to do. And then also the fact you just 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:05.480 doing shit in life, you know what I mean. You 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.960 can't monitor everything you take in the way you would 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.280 like like it just. 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:12.280 Needed more detail. 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.160 Two thy and twenty one, I read How to Eat 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.560 to Live by the Honorable Eliji Muhammad. Shout out to 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.160 KM and YB young bro. They put me up on it, 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.200 and it was talking about how human beings used to 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.000 eat one time to two times one time a day, 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:32.280 you know, sometimes without and that just sounded crazy. But 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.080 even when we were talking about you remember if you 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:36.640 read the Bible, if you ever read the Bible, and 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.959 they talk about the people that live like three four 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.600 hundred one thousand years and shit, and it sounds crazy, 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.880 but if you really think about it, we take a 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.639 lot of years off our life, you know what I mean, 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.120 because our stomach spent so much time digesting food. 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:50.840 It's a lot of things. 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.480 So that stuff started making more sense, right, And I 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.440 was like, damn, So I implemented that and I start 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:57.600 eating one time a day. 0:02:58.280 --> 0:02:59.040 I mean, that. 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.320 Worked out something people always I'm thirty four, and even 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.760 my cousin who's ten years older than me or whatever, 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.160 he saw me and I went back home to Chicago 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.000 for the first time in three years, and he was like, Yo, 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.840 how the fuck do you still look the same way 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.000 you look when you was like nineteen or twenty. I 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.560 was like, I don't really. I don't drink soda, I 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.760 don't consume a lot of sugar. I eat probably like 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.799 one or two big meals a day. And I try 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:26.919 to stay active even if I'm not working out, I'm 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.920 trying to walk and move around a lot. And that's 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.320 really like to me, been the key to me. I mean, 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.600 I smoke a lot of weed, but that ain't why 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.200 I look the way I look. I just don't eat 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.040 all day long and drink all day long. Like and 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.240 the most of my family they all got a bunch 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.120 of health issues. They're all overweight, and all they really 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.680 do is eat, And that makes sense. 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.560 Yeah, So that I learned that and that kind of 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.440 did the same thing got to me about fifty to 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:55.160 sixty percent. 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.400 But it wasn't everything. It was just as of recent. 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.240 My young brother whyb you know, we was talking and 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.200 I was like, man, I've been walking two three four 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:08.880 miles a day. 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:10.480 I'm like. He was like, man. 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:13.720 At that time, I realized I had got up to 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.920 three hundred and forty nine pounds, and I was like, damn, 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.680 I'm almost as big as I was at my heaviest. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.720 And again, if you see me, you can't really tell 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.760 because I'm a really big person top to bottom, so 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:27.680 it don't look like but y'all seen me at three 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.320 hundred thirty, three hundred and forty pounds, you won't notice 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.719 that's how big I am. But I noticed it, and 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.640 I realized I was eating one time a day and 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.680 I couldn't figure out. I'm like, damn, cuz, why am I? 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:41.760 I was eating outside food and my body wasn't processing it. 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.880 So immediately I started just Okay, I'm gonna cook for 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:46.280 myself and make all the work. 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:52.960 Boom boom boom. Right fast forward. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.280 About two and a half weeks ago. Three weeks YB 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:55.800 challenged me. He was like, hey man, he said, you 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.960 know you could. He said, why don't you consume your 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:01.880 body weight in calories. I'm like, nigga, gotta be three 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.560 hundred and you know, forty thirty calories. He like, yeah, 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.960 I'm like that ain't enough food. Like I'm He's like, 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:10.599 you don't do a ton of stuff. You know, you 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.640 really create, you know with your brain, you sit down, 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:15.920 you do walk around, and yeah you are walking mouse. 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:17.880 But I think it'll work a little bit better than 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.360 you giving the credit for it. So I'm listening to 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.560 me him and Joey Westside is on the phone and 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:24.760 I'm laughing at this nigga, like, man, you sound crazy, 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.400 this nigga. But the more I thought about it in 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.839 that first five minutes, I was like, damn, that's a challenge. 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.360 So I started looking up different foods and different things, 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:38.600 you know. And I remember from ap biology that calories 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:42.200 are just a metric to count energy, and it just 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:43.920 kind of hit me all of a sudden. 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.560 It was like, okay, wait a minute. So if if you're. 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:52.000 Overweight, that's just stored or misplaced energy, right, that your 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:53.960 body hasn't expelled, right. 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.560 And I was like, okay, so if I'm. 0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:00.080 Only taking in you know, this much energy, but then 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.360 when I walk my three to four miles, you know, 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.719 I mean, I'm expelling more energy than that, then my 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.680 body won't have a choice but to go and find 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.359 the stored or misplaced energy and expel it to keep going. 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:13.839 So it started making since and I was like, you 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.200 know what, I'm gonna do it, and we talked about it, 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.960 and ever since then, man, I could feel so outside 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.920 of the you know, the knowledge of clean eating, you 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.320 know what I'm saying that I had from twenty fifteen 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.120 with the you know, the eating one time a day 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:32.080 from the honorable Eliji Muhammad and I need to live 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.400 and then everything now it's like this is the first 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.880 time I'm like one hundred percent sure, I'm pretty much gonna, 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.080 you know, achieve the goal of making sure I don't 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.160 have excess body fact that I don't need. I mean, 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.800 this is the first time in life I know I'm 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:50.360 gonna do it, And. 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:49.240 Even on Fridays. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.240 At this point, I let my stomach rest forty eight hours, 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.360 Like I'll eat Thursday at three, and then I'll eat 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.000 Saturday at three, and then when I run into the 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.800 next wall, those walls that I was running into, I'll 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:03.120 just add more days. It's like, Okay, instead of letting 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:04.960 my stomach gress for forty eight hours, I let my 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.680 stomach gress for seventy two hours until it starts to 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.760 use and find all the misplaced and stored energy you 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:13.680 need to use it all. 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.640 I don't need all this extra energy. 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.760 Then once I get into a much better stoage system 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.480 that's more efficient, my body is more efficient, then I 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.000 can start to talk about adding more energy into my 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.000 die because then at that point I need to get 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.680 on the wait a little bit more and shit like that. 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:29.800 So That's what I've been doing. 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.080 But I thought it was funny when you asked me that, 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.840 because people did say ozimpic, and I was like, that's 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:38.160 so cute, like a crip on ozimpic, that just what hell? 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.360 Look cute. You know what I'm saying, Like, what. 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.480 All you gotta we need? You gotta better put this 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.360 in a book, get the market in it. 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:48.920 I don't know what you're gonna call it, but you 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:50.400 know you're gonna call it something with cripp in and 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.480 figure it out your crypt diet playing or something like that. 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:55.760 No, I thought about this. 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.600 You can't teach this because the hardest part for most 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.360 people is breaking how often they eat. Fact, I wouldn't 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.040 want to be in this business, you know what I mean, 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.040 like breaking people. You know, America has done such a 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.600 good job in programming people to eat three times a day. 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:09.480 You do not want to be. 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:11.960 Three times a day. 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.800 Like I've never in my life. Even now, I tell people, yeah, 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.400 I eat once maybe twice a day. I've always just 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.480 ate once maybe twice a day. People are like, yo, 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.040 you only eat once? Like what, I'm not hungry three 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:23.960 times a day. If I'm eating three times day, it's 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.120 probably because I'm outside all day and I'm doing something 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:27.800 so I'm like biting on something. 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.080 But if I'm like living my actual normal life, I'm not. 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:31.480 Why am I eating three times a day? 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.800 Yeah? You know it's funny to eat that much. 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.840 America has done such a great job of programming. But 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.200 I do think it came into an effect when then 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:45.000 de'strial revolution happened here when you probably was burning through 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:46.880 three and four thousand. 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:47.800 Calories a day. 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.960 But it ain't nobody burning through Like bro, niggas got 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:53.360 desk jobs. You're not burning through four thousand calories at 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.679 a fucking desk job. Gee niggas work from home. You're 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.320 not burning through that many calories. But when you win 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.480 a steel meal, you might need to eat three times. Yeah, 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:04.319 you might need to eat three times things or farming, 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.000 I mean or farming. 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:06.600 Farming for sure. 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.120 Yeah, you can see that though, Like if you've looked, 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:16.680 like ever looked at like either obesity and obesity related 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:22.559 health issues by job, like number one is like bus. 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.040 Driver because you're sitting down. 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.319 That's funny, sitting down, that's funny as fuck. I'm thinking 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.400 about every buzz driver I've ever seen in my life. 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:32.760 A lot of them are kind of. 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.360 Obese, super high, and your pair like kind of also 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.360 like who are a lot of your bus drivers and 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:40.319 what are their diets? 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.400 Yeah, versus like some. 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.920 And that's that they wouldn't count for the United States 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.600 I'd be willing to bet that like people in India 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.280 and call centers aren't super obese, because people in India 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.640 don't tend to be super obese by just the way 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.240 that they operate.

That would 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.839 be a good conversation when I have no idea about 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:35.800 But I saw this post going around on social media 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.439 about James Harden being the third greatest point guard I'm 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:40.480 shooting guard ever. 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:44.160 Did y'all see that? 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.400 I didn't see it, but I will say I'm not 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.359 mad at it. 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.199 This is eleven and a half minute podcast. 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:57.560 No here, No here is why I'm not mad at it? 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:01.319 Where his rings at?

That means I would.

He's been first 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.800 Team All NBA probably more time than d Wade as. 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.640 He's won a m v P. He's been top three 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:44.199 MVP voting a few times. He ran again. 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.160 Even the teams he's ran up against, he ran up 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.080 against the fucking Warriors. Bro Like his prime happened to 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.000 coincide with the Warriors. 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:56.280 There's always guys that fit that description, not the Warriors. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.080 Well, I mean, can you say the same thing about 0:11:59.160 --> 0:11:59.680 d Wade? 0:11:59.800 --> 0:11:59.920 Now? 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.440 I finished in first team All NBA because Kobe Bryant 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:04.520 was in his NBA. 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:05.880 Okay, be better. 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.360 See this is where facts kind of start to whoop 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.080 your ass and why I hate to have basketball arguments 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:17.400 with you because you value stats and I value winning. 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.280 But even with you valuing stats, you're still wrong. I'm 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.680 looking at that right now. Season's played Dwayne Wade sixteen, 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:30.880 James Harden fifteen, Championships Dwayne Wade three, Harden zero, All 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:35.240 Star Games James Harden ten, Dwayne Wade thirteen MVPs. Harden 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.680 got one Finals MVPs, Dwayne Wade got one. 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:39.520 Thank you. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:43.000 All NBA First Teams, Harden got Wade six to two. 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.400 All NBA Team total selection d Wade got eight to 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:50.240 Hard and seven. D Wade is also All NBA All 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.240 Defense three times. 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:53.680 Harden was a scoring. 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:58.320 Leader three times, Dwayne Wade was once, and Harden was 0:12:58.360 --> 0:12:59.600 an assists leader twice. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.120 And he was a six minute the year. If I'm 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:03.720 gonna say six man Hard six. 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.679 Man, Okay, so what's your point. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.800 A lot of the best guys of all time came 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:10.640 off the bench. 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:15.160 Exactly. 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.959 Stop stop it, stop stop it. 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.440 He had more All NBA defense and more All NBA 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.560 selections than Harden. It's not even close to me. It's 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.000 not even very close. It's not even close. 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.480 No, it's very close. It's not the finals MVP. 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.360 Listen, he was better than Shaquille O'Neill was okay, wait, 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.079 yes that was okay, number one, Yes he was better, 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:37.480 Yes he was better. 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.040 Yea exactly fat and out of weight. 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.280 And when that team couldn't score the ball, Dwayne Wade 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:51.960 scored the ball. Big buckets. They all right, man, man, 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.840 now we're going how many times it's hard to been 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.320 in a position for the refs to allow him to 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:03.400 win a championship? Exactly funk out of here? But no, 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.679 but no, but no, I can I can understand. Also, 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.800 what are we considering Jerry West a point guard. 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:09.600 Or a shooting guard? 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:10.800 Point guard? 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.240 Okay, well then yeah, I can't understand why somebody might say, 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.600 James Harden it is the third greatest shooting of all time. 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.600 If he had a ring, I don't think it would 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:19.080 even be close. 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:20.520 Question. 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:26.240 Cousy was a point guard, yes, and hal Chick was 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:26.800 a three. 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.360 So it was the two problem. 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.480 It was a he who was so he was three? 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.880 He was Jones a two or three? 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.960 He was a two to one in the two casey 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:40.120 Jones was a one of the two. 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:45.000 Yeah. Halichick was listened at three pretty much mostly. 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.040 Because he was a football I mean he was he 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.200 was listened at shooting guard for a couple I mean 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:51.120 for like four years. 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.480 But at his whole career he played small four most 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:53.680 of the. 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.440 Thought I remembering being in that position. 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:01.280 So his resume, his resume. Wait, I agree with you. 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:02.600 I agree with that. 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:03.520 I agree with that. 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:08.600 I have no problem with that is like fifth, This 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:13.240 is a man Michael Jordan, yep, Kobe Bryant, Okay, Dwayne 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.400 Wade and John Halichick. Check you just said he played 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.920 four years at shooting guard. Who half check? 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:22.680 Yeah he was time. 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:25.880 Yeah, but during the years he was a shooting guard, 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.760 they won championships, he was an All star. 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:30.640 What are we talking about? 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:32.000 Thirteen times? 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.040 The question to me, you know, you know what the 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:36.560 question is here from a race. 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.200 We're talking about combo guards? 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.280 Are we talking because because this is also the thing, 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.600 this is the era really much more of the combo guard. 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.280 Harden is really a combo guard. He's not just a 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.960 straightened shooting guard. He's a combo guard. He really is 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.360 a point guard. We haven't playing shooting guard. 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.320 Yeah, we haven't listened at scoring guard. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.240 I think the reality of that conversation is that I 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.000 don't know, I eversince wasn't really a point guard. 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.040 He was, he was again, back to back to the 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.160 beginning of what was known as the combo guard. 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:07.320 It's hard and better than AI. 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.600 I've said, they're the same guy, so long. 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:12.440 Wait what you just. 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:19.880 Yes, he's better than he's probably Yes, is one of 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:21.760 the reasons why I love basketball. 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:23.000 Yes, he's better than Alan. 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.240 Irvous he's yeah, he's probably better than. 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.280 He's better than a bro. And I love a I 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:28.920 was shooting thirty field. 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.760 I told you a long time ago, and and and 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.400 although you would never hear me the spirits James Harden 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.880 because I met him in person a couple of times. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.840 He's a very very nice guy sounds I mean it 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.720 though he's a very he's a he's a very nice guy. 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.880 But when it comes to the all time hoopers and gamers, 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:50.640 he's not even in that conversation. 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.640 To me, he has to be in the conversation I'm 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:53.000 gonna take. 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.200 If we're talking shooting guard for shooting guard in a 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:56.720 big game, give me Devin book over. 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:08.720 James Harden was the best. He wasn't. 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:15.719 Get the get long out of here, and he won 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:17.240 the best player on the team. 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.879 Okay, okay, we got to stop saying the best player 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.040 on the team, because I think you mean when you 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.520 say that, the best offensive player on the team, possibly. 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:26.440 Even within that. 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.879 I think what we're this is, this isn't a perfect 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:34.520 illustration of the problem. And even advanced statistics for efficiency. 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:40.000 Basketball is a sport of time and space. That's what 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.840 it is at the end of the day, a sports. Yeah, 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:48.040 basketball is very simple. There's difference between being in the 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:54.960 good offensively production wise and good offensively schematically. He like, 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.400 like we were saying, like way back, you can't have 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:01.199 Russell Westbrook and Lebron and the same team because they 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.600 are hogs of time and space. 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:04.560 You can't. 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:05.600 They can't coexist. 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:11.080 Sure, Harden can't coexist a in a system based off 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:15.600 the efficiency necessary to win, regardless of what he personally does. 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:17.359 That is a huge detriment to me. 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:19.879 Well, this is the conversation I used to have with 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.920 PAV and TP all the time about a certain can 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:28.480 you build an offensive jugger not around inefficient offensive players. 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.320 And again, James Harden is not totally inefficient. 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:32.479 He's not. 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.080 He's actually efficient for a point guard. But Michael Jordan 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:37.560 is godly efficient. 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.879 Who's the most efficient offensive player of this era? The 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:42.879 guy with the most rings Steph Curry. 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.320 Absolutely, probably Steph Curry. 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:47.200 It's not even closer. 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.160 Curry a light year that's. 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.520 Shooting that close to fifty percent from the field is 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:52.720 shooting three is crazy. 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:53.359 He catches it. 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.600 He doesn't need he can create. He doesn't need to create. 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:58.879
