Dude, man, how are 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.680 you doing? Yeah? It never worked with this guy before. People. 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.880 If it goes poorly, it's so but I'm very excited. 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:34.840 I know Jason's work obviously, long time Fox Sports Radio superstar. 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:37.720 You're just trying to live in your world, Mint, Okay, 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:39.720 so if you live in Okay. So we're gonna talk 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.760 about the Knicks a lot, right because Hey, because finally, 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:44.560 for like the first time in like a thousand years, 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:46.760 and Knicks are good. Right, It's a really big thing 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.120 for me. I'm very happy right now. Yeah, well, fan, 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.400 the last time they were good was the Jeremy Lynn era. 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.160 I refused to call it the Carmelo Anthony era. And 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.360 it's been a minute, you know, so I'm right there 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.680 with you. The first basketball game I were attended. I'll 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:05.720 never forget it. Madison Square Garden nineteen eighty five, Lakers 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:07.840 Knicks first game I ever attended as a young guy, 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:09.840 and I just fell in love with both team. So 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.920 I became a weird Lakers Knicks fan, the only one 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.440 on the planet probably, Wow, that is really weird. It 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.800 was like whichever team was doing well at the time. Okay, 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.559 I'll bet, but you hit it right in the middle, 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.360 like the Knicks were just starting to get Yeah, you 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.280 saw a lot. You was how many Hall of Famers 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.600 were in that game. You must have seen Magic Jabbar. 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.160 My dad was a big Jabbar fan. Patrick Ewing, those 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.080 were like the Big Three. James Worthy obviously was on 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:34.959 the team as well. But yeah, it was a good 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.000 time to be an NBA fan. And you know, I 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.600 have a feeling we're gonna talk a little nostalgia and 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.160 the NBA later in the show. People at Adjacent Just 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.120 to preface it, people on social media are so angry 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:49.080 with me. What else is new for this? Reggie Miller's stuff, 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:53.000 which we'll get to later. The hasiography of Reggie Miller 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.920 is a little bit over the top end. Of course, 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.760 he's taken a shot at the current young guys, which 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.760 is all these old boomers want to do these days. Jason, 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.600 I'm getting sick of it all right. Wait, hay On 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.760 a saying I gotta look up hanging hay geography. Hang On, 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:07.919 I gotta look at what that means. Hanging on that means. Okay, 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.320 I thought I thought i'd dropped like a nine dollars 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.040 vocab word the opening segment, just to remind people who 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.720 they're dealing with here. That wasn't radio. That was a 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:18.799 pretty good word to drop. And I dig that. I mean, 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:20.320 that's like you must have gotten like a like a 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.400 perfect score in your SAT on the verbal plot. I 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.120 think I got like a nine hundred or something like 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.280 that when it was up to sixteen hundred or when 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.320 it was like the new one, no car that, Jason, 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.639 I was. I was a kind of kid who decided, like, oh, 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.680 I should probably work my butt off in journalism as 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.360 opposed to try to get good grades in high school 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.040 and college. But I was on the AB honor roll 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.040 in seventh grade, so I will I will put that on, 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.400 you know, my tombstone, and I think it's not on 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.400 your Twitter profile. Seventh grade. I love that one off. 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:52.160 Actually all ye, yes, we will definitely get to that 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.560 Reggie Miller take. That is an awesome story. We'll get 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.840 that coming up. I'll probably top of next hour, But 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.280 right now, we got to start with the latest from 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.280 the NBA. Will to Steph Curry in a couple of 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:05.200 seconds as everybody waiting with bated breadth for the result 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.040 of the MRI of Nuggets star point guard Jamal Murray, 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.960 who went down in immediate pain after he heard his 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.040 left knee driving to the basket last night in the 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:17.200 last minute of the Warriors win over the Nuggets. And 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.639 it was really difficult. It was a play where he 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.960 was going in for hoop. They were down seven. He 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.440 comes down on his left leg and it immediately crumples. 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:30.080 And here's how it sounded. Rebound down at Jamal Murray 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.200 less than a minute ago. Three pointer would be nice. 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.200 Murray right to the rack, gets hammered and he'll go 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.360 to They're just gonna say he lost that. That's a 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:42.320 challe hurt. Jamal's hurt and his left knee and he 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.480 is in severe amount of pain. This is a worst 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.960 case scenario sports fans there. It is. Nuggets Radio Network 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.360 Mike Malone came out to check on Murray right after. 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.080 They brought out a wheelchair. He was able to get 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.680 off the court, but could put no pressure on his leg. 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.920 Malone said after the game, the locker room is incredibly 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.400 down right now, there's no answer. Will wait for the imaging, 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.400 and I'll tell you what, Jay, this is the Nuggets 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.640 team where I remember seeing that, you know, in the 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.560 bubble into the playoffs last year, and I said many 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.240 times the era of the Jazz and the Nuggets in 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.520 the West is coming, all right. They got young players 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.279 that have locked in. They're locked in for a few 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.440 years and their era is coming. There two terrific teams 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.120 and here come the Nuggets who have been playing extremely well. 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.760 But if something happens, they lose Jamal Murray. I don't 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.680 know where they go from here. I mean, this is 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.640 it's such a huge blow, devastating for the Nuggets. And 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.560 you know, Jason, I had said on I have this 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.240 podcast straight Fire on iHeart and I had said a 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.919 couple of weeks ago after the Aaron Gordon trade that 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.800 the Nuggets were the best team in the West. Now, 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.240 obviously Lebron and a d are not healthy, but you 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.560 look at that Nuggets team and how they played after 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.240 getting Aaron Gordon, and this team was stacked. I mean 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.120 they were just torching teams. Murray. Of course, we know 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.960 how heroic he was in the bubble. That series he 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.400 had against Utah when they were down three one one 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.279 of the most heroic series I've seen in a while 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.799 from a player two games over where he dropped fifty 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.599 points three over forty. I feel awful for Denver right now. 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.800 This is just terrible news, very sad to start the 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.520 show with. Yeah. Now, hopefully it's something where it could 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.200 be just a hyper extension and it's you know, it's 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:18.800 it's a couple of weeks or a few weeks and 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.200 he's back for the playoffs, but all of those non 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.880 contact things that happen, you just hold your breath and wondering. 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.320 He just means so much to this team, you know, 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.839 as good as Yokich has been playing, and he's become 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.520 a dark horse MVP candidate, well, you know, one of 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:33.159 the one of one hundred and fifty guys in the 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.680 MVP candidate. You know, right now, Yokis is thirteams now 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.720 he's six, now he's seven, and he's been terrific. But man, 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.120 I'll tell you what Murray makes this team going. He's 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.880 the guy in the playoffs, obviously when the guard play 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.200 becomes more important that he does have those huge games. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.760 And I don't know where I don't know where Denver 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.880 goes without him. Yes, they are stacked and that's great, 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.360 and you know, who knows, maybe they can figure something out. 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.600 But man, they lose him. It's it's hard to look 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.280 at the Nuggets and say, hey, Nuggets can get out 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:02.880 of the West. I mean, because this is a loaded 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.400 Western conference. This is me loaded one through six in 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:06.720 the West this year, and I don't know how they 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.880 get out of it. Well, in addition, you you touched 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.040 on it. The MVP situation is very up in the air, right, 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:16.800 I mean, Lebron's been hurt, Joel Embiad's been hurt. You know. 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.240 I had Frankie Sola come on my radio show Saturday 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.000 morning and said Yokis was his number one, you know, 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.480 And you know I saw a great stat Jason. Forty 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.200 eight of the sixty five MVPs have come from number 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.480 one seats. Well, Denver and sniff in the one seat 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.599 without Jamal Murray. So can Yokich win the award. Do 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.640 we have to go back to Joel Embiid who's injured 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.920 and you know they're fighting for the number one seed 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.320 in the East. I don't really know where we go. Listen, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.320 people aren't gonna want to hear this. A guy named 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.640 Zion Williamson won't win the MVP. But oh my gosh, 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.640 have you seen what the guys been up to like 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.120 the NBA this year, Jason, I don't know how big 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.479 of a regular season guy you are. You know, I 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:58.680 joked that life is too short to watch January college basketball. 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.159 But NBA in the regular season this year has been 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.320 pretty sweet. I mean, so many good comebacks. Guy's dropping 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.520 forty five fifty at the drop of a hat. And 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.360 Jamal Murray is a joy to watch. I wish him 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.320 a very speedy recovery. Yeah, it's weird with with MVP. 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.160 It's like, as soon as we say, all right, this 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.880 guy's the front runner, something happens and they wind up 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.120 getting hurt and or you know, because it was embeat 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.160 for a while, right, and then he got hurt and 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.080 then it was hardened and it was okay, oh harden, 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:26.800 look at what he's doing and then it was okay, 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.880 now Harden's out and the Nets win without him, so 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.000 you know, as well as he's playing, you know, can 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.680 he really be the MVP? Then it became Yoki. For 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.680 a bit it was Lebron, but then Lebron got her. 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.640 So it's like every every every few weeks, every month, 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.400 there's like a new flavor of the month. Damian Lillard 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.800 cracked that list maybe at some point, and some people 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.280 are against that, but his clutch numbers have been insane. 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.720 I will just add this on the Nuggets. You know, Jason, 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.000 last year they had Gary Harris, Jamal Murray starting in 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.280 the backcourt in the playoffs, and then Jeremy Grant at 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:01.400 small forward. Well, if Jamal Murray's gone, all three starters 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.600 will be toast from last year's great playoff run. Okay, 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.760 Jeremy Grant obviously thriving in Detroit. Gary Harris just got 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:11.680 shipped to Orlando, and now Jamal Murray's hurt, So this 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.520 Denver postseason run may have just gone up and smoke. 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.560 If Jamal Murray's out any significant amount of time, who 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:20.520 that West is absolutely loaded? All right, We'll keep you 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.559 posted on the Jamal Murray story again. An MRI today, 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.120 a very shaken Nuggets locker room, and this shakes up 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.520 the playoffs clearly. But also in this game last night, 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.240 we saw a big history from Steph Curry, who now 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:36.240 becomes the all time Golden State Warriors leading scorer. He 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.679 passes a guy maybe you've heard of. Take a listen 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.320 seventeen thousand, seven hundred and eighty two per Curry triple drive. 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.480 Curry goes in, drives the lap. It's up and good, 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.600 and there he is Stepid Curry, now the all time 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:52.000 leading scorer hit Warriors franchise history. He shines brighter than 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.800 the Big Dipper as he passes Wilt Chamberlain into history. 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.800 Warriors Radio Network on the call part of a fifty 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.840 three point night for Steph Curry, and you know, really 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:05.120 quick he was for a hot minute, Curry was the 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:09.040 was an MVP favorite because it was the storyline of boy, 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.959 if Curry can lead the league in scoring and somehow 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.040 single handedly get the Warriors into the playoffs. Oh maybe 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.559 Steph Curry's the MVP if he has this kind of here. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.559 But clearly the Warriors are just hoping to get in 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.600 the play in games at this point. I look at 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.360 this Jay and I see this big achievement from Steph 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.320 Curry and I go. Warrior fans have to enjoy it 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.960 now because eventually, in the next year he's gonna go 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:35.600 play someplace. WHOA I mean, look, I know we like 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.760 to think of him as a forever Warrior, and certain 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.600 players like to think of his forever players. But look, 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.200 everybody changes now in the NBA. Everybody goes someplace, and 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:47.319 the Warriors the era of their dynasty is over and 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.720 you're not going to get big players to come join 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:52.800 them now. It's an aging Curry. You don't know what 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.760 Clay Thompson's going to be like when he comes back. 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.120 And Curry wants to keep winning. Yeah, he hasn't wanted 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.360 to sit here in hoist jumpers and score thirty five 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.480 a night into obscurity, you know, into his midden late thirties. 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.120 So eventually he's gonna know, I have to go someplace else, 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.280 and he'll leave as at and whatever happens. Just like 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.480 Lebron leaving Cleveland, he goes back. He won the championship there, 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.440 so he's always going to be Cleveland's favorite son. He'll 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.560 always be a Warrior, but he'll go someplace else. For 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.480 the last few years of his career. He'll go and 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.120 team up with somebody. Lebron's already try and accord him. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.600 He'll be that shooter, you know, a much better version 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.640 of a Ray Allen near the end when he was 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.240 such a big deal on title teams. And I say, 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.960 after one more year, Steph Curry is gonna say I 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.280 can't just keep getting my ass beat like this, you know, 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.800 every single money and losing, and he goes someplace else. Hi, Jason, 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.040 I'm signaling for a twenty second time out here. I 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.040 cannot believe you just disrespected Steph Curry and put him 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.599 in the same class as Ray Allen? Are you kidding me? 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.840 A two time MVP and Curry, I don't think he's 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.800 going anywhere. I mean, it's fun to think, like, hey, hey, Lebron, 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.960 he's gonna recruit Curry, But like Curry is the Warriors, 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.000 when you are the guy and you won three chips 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.720 and two MVPs, you don't go to play with other guys. 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.040 They could play with you. And there was an interesting 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:08.920 report out yesterday, and again I don't want to give 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.920 something that's not from WOJ A lot of credibility, but 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:17.200 there is speculation that Kawhi Leonard is not thrilled with 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.160 the direction of the Clippers. Okay, we saw their second 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.760 round gag job against Denver last year. Paul Georgia sign 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.560 long term. They had to because they gave up all 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.800 those picks. Kawai not so much. And if they happen 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.560 to go down in the second round again, Clippers lose 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:36.240 to I don't whoever, Lakers, Sons, Jazz, whoever it is, 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.000 is Kawhi sticking around and the report is that, hey, 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.240 the Warriors would then be interested in pursuing Kawhi Leonard 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.960 and I listen, I think it's fun to talk about 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.880 Curry teaming up with some people. I just I mean 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.680 they were. He was able to recruit Kevin Durant to 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.559 come play with him, and now he's gonna go play 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.000 with someone else. I'm sorry, I don't buy it. I 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.920 can't imagine him going to Milwaukee to play with Yah 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:05.360 or Phoenix with Booker and Chris Paul. No way I 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.640 can see someone wanting to go to Golden State. You 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.560 know that it's a desirable the Bay Area, lovely part 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.880 of the country, a little expensive. Um, but Jason I 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:18.760 can't see Curry leaving You really think there's possibility there, 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.800 because because everybody does. Could you see Lebron leaving Cleveland? No, 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:24.839 but Lebron left Cleveland? Well, no way to say, hold on, 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.320 it's Cleveland, Come on happy. Yeah, but he's from there. 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.320 I mean he's from there. You know he left. You know, Look, 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.600 I love New York, but I left, you know, I 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.000 left for Los Angeles. I wanted Son, and I didn't 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.800 want snow anymore and all these things. I left for LA. Look, 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:41.200 everybody leaves in the NBA now. And if it was 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.560 four years ago and Steph Curry is twenty eight, twenty nine, 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.199 and here's a you know, Clay Thompson is the other 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.079 splash brother, and he's still a guy that can score 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.240 twenty in any quarter. Hey, and Draymond Green is still 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.960 a guy that actually shoots the basketball and and and 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.560 and affects the game. Then yeah, that's still a big, 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.120 big draw for anybody. But now you're looking at a 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.520 team in which Draymond Green clearly isn't the same guy. 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.000 You don't know what Clay's gonna be. And here's stuff going, Okay, 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.200 go here and play with stuff. Are you really going 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.880 to jump in and join a title contending team, or 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.760 are you joining a team that's kind of wheezing along 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.679 a bit and you're hoping to catch lightning in a bottle. 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.960 I mean, look, I'm with you on how great it 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.160 is in Golden State. We don't give them credit for 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.080 the culture they created, for what Steve Kerr was able 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.559 to do and take this team and Steph Curry, who 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.120 was an all star caliber player, turn him into one 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.400 of the greatest shooters we've ever seen, where he scores 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.480 suddenly thirty a game. But that was four years ago, 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.160 and now it's gonna be Okay, guess what, you have 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.839 to come here to a bigger market, whether it's La, 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.760 whether it's someplace else. I mean, look, he may want to. 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.560 He may say, you know what, hey, let's all team 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.040 up someplace else. Let's go to Charlotte. You know, I 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:49.720 can get a couple of guys and go to Charlotte 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.040 and play, and I can go there and I go back. 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.320 All these things would be on the table for him. 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.120 And because everybody goes and we've seen this, I can't 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.000 put it past for a second. Steph Curry would lea yeah, 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.120 so he is from Art and there was some chatter that, oh, 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.760 maybe he wants to go home the way Lebron went 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:08.840 home to Cleveland. I just I look at ownership, front office, coaching, 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.720 that stuff matters. I think two stars, and you know, 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:13.800 I don't want to act like too much of a 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.640 loser here at the outset. But when Durant went to 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.560 Golden State, I instantly went on Cowherd Show and I 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:21.920 was pumping up Kevin Durant's the best player in the league. 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.760 And Durant saw it on Instagram and we start talking 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.920 and open a little friendship there. And I asked him 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.640 point blank, like, what are you doing going to the Knicks? Why? 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:32.040 Why would you go to the Knicks. This was when 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.560 everybody was speculating he would leave Golden State for the Knicks. 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.280 And he essentially said, what do I care about the owner? 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.840 Like what do I care about that? I'm you know, essentially, 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.720 I'm Kevin Durant. I'm bigger than that. But notice he 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.520 didn't go to the Knicks. He went to the Nets 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.600 because Kyrie Irving went there, and you know, they were 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.800 able to pick whoever they wanted as their coach. To 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.840 an extent, I think Durant had a large say in 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.240 bringing on Steve Nash, who we work with in Golden State. 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.480 But you know, you could argue, yeah, that there is 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.960 some say in the players. But I find it really 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.120 hard to believe that Steph Curry would bail on Golden State. 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.040 I think it's easier for him to recruit guys there 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.280 than to Charlotte, although Charlotte is one of the best 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:14.000 stories in the league. LaMelo Ball, Gordon Hayward, Scary, Terry Rosier, 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.840 um Man. That that would be I don't even know 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:19.800 where that would rank. That would probably be up there 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:24.160 with Lebron's decision to go from Cleveland to Miami. Right now, 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.200 let me ask you, are you sure you were actually 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.160 friends with Kady and it wasn't a burner? Yes? No, yeah, 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.920 you're sure it was indeed Duran? Yes, right, yeah, I 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:37.640 know he has multiple burners. Um. But and again, I 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:40.240 am a Curry fan. I should probably preface that. Um. 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.000 You know, I started a podcast way back when I 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.080 was I started this website, The Big Lead, and I 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.720 had a podcast there. The first guest I had was 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.840 Steph Curry before he had signed that like seventy eight 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.240 million dollar deal. He had he had been injured in 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.080 his early years in Golden State. That was when you 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.880 could get him on your podcast. And I've been such 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.240 a huge fan of cur I ran to him at 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.400 my gym two summers ago after he had the injury. 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.920 Super nice guy, and I'm just a huge fan of 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.200 him on and off the court. This guy's done so 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:14.920 much for the league and he's a great ambassador for 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.960 the Bay Area. He's the greatest guy in that franchise history. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.160 You know, no disrespect to Wilt and Rick Barry and 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.680 all those other guys. It's Curry right, he is the 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:27.360 franchise Twitter at, how about a fresca at Jason At, 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:31.280 Jason R.

Jason Smith and Jason 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.919 McIntyre in for Dan and the dan Ets. Today. We 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:54.160 had a huge retirement in the NFL a day ago, 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:59.280 as Julian Edelman, postseason hero extraordinaire hangs him up, retiring 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.800 after a very good NFL career, and I'm saying very 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.240 good and putting that in air quotes. Joining Jason us 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:08.160 now on the hot line to break it all down 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:10.800 in all the big news in the NFL. Senior NFL 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.760 columnists for CBS Sports and cbsports dot Com. You can 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:17.760 follm on Twitter at Priscoe CBS. It's at Priscoe CBS. 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.960 It's Pete prisco pekod morning man. How's it going good? 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.520 How are you guys? We're doing good? Man? Hey, listen, 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.320 Edelman retires. I saw your tweet. You know, Hall of 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.040 Very Good not Hall of Fame. But people are starting 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:30.840 to make his case for it. Well, you know, how 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.719 do you break this down? Yeah? I don't even think 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.600 it's close, to be honest with you, I think he 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.159 was a very good player who did a lot of 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:41.000 good things in the postseason, but when you really added 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.720 up and look at his numbers, he doesn't belong in 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.080 the Hall of Fame, and nor will he get into 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:47.680 the Hall of Fame. I mean, there are so many 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.040 other receivers that are fighting to get into the hall 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.280 that are clearly better than he is. And if he 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.199 wasn't you know, one of those guys that played on 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.000 those good Patriots teams, that wouldn't even be consideration. So no, 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.680 Hall of Very Good, not Hall. Yeah, Pete, Hey, it's 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:05.280 Jason McIntyre. I'm just curious, why do you think people 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:08.199 are enamored with Edelman? Is it more his story that 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.040 he was a converted quarterback from Kent State, seventh round 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.160 draft pick who went on to win the Super Bowl 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:17.040 MVP and played with Brady and dated celebrities. What is 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.520
