Silence, 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:15.240 don't this up? 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:34.080 Female, You don't this up. 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:40.160 Welcome in episode twenty three of What's Right with Nick Wright, 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.760 the podcast and YouTube show. Like rate subscriber you, We're 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.880 so close to fifty thousand subscribers on YouTube. I don't 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.840 know how many subscribers we have on iTunes and Spotify, 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.320 but I appreciate if you subscribe on all the platforms 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.120 that you either that you consume the show. However, today's 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.160 show is going to be a little different today's show, 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:02.040 and it's a tragic day for this to be the case. Demanse, 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.680 who is the only Celtics fan I like, is not 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.040 here today. I mean he is here. I don't know 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.200 if we can take the wide shot briefly and show 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.960 he can lean into the shop for a moment, Demonse, 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:18.240 go ahead and lean in. Wave hello. Demonse. Unfortunately is sick. 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.240 He has lost his voice. Now how did he lose 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:26.480 his voice? We're not sure. I would imagine, you know, 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.440 a five hour session at a hookah bar On Friday 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.920 didn't help. Now he would claim that didn't actually happen, 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.800 but I would assume. All I know is I left 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.400 town Friday, he had a voice. I came back town Saturday. 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.160 He didn't have a voice anymore. But he will be back, 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.880 hopefully soon. In his place is none other than my 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.400 wonderful wife, who you will hear from in just a moment. Danielle, 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.440 thank you for taking the time with us today. Try 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.600 not to screw this up. But as we always do 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.640 on the show, we first talk about what we're not 0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.280 talking about. So here is what is not on today's show. 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:04.000 What is not on today's show is Zion getting cleared 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:08.160 for contact, Bill Belichick has same intensity as any year, 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:14.119 and Aaron Donald signing with Kanye West's agency Donda Sports. 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.480 None of that is on the show today because we 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.360 have too many basketball related things and one, believe it 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:23.000 or not, baseball related thing to discuss. So now I 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.960 turned to you, Danielle, what are we starting with today? 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:29.720 The Celtics beat Miami. 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.200 Yeah, so you're sad. I am a little sad about it. 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:33.960 Yeah? 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.720 Why did Boston win Game seven? All right? 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:40.280 So Boston should have been able to take care of this. 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.120 In six, Miami looked like they were broken and beaten 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.280 since we've last talked. But Jimmy Butler had an all 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.840 time Game six in Boston to carry Miami, right, you 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:55.040 all know that. And then Game seven comes around and 0:03:55.440 --> 0:04:00.440 Kyle Lowry's not very good. Tyler hero tries to but 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:04.280 is awful. Gave Benson doesn't do much aside from one shot, 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.760 Max Streuce doesn't do much, which is why Boston led 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:13.480 wire to wire. However, there are two parts of this 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.280 game I want to discuss, and none of it's to 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:21.080 take away from Boston. One is the NBA all of 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:26.200 a sudden, allowing for I know that they can retroactively 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.200 go back and change a three to a two or 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.320 a two to a three, the raft can win the 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.719 shots taken wave his finger like we're gonna review that. 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:38.359 That's one thing. But what they did with Miami with 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:44.239 Max Struce his three five possessions later being waved off 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.400 because they said he stepped out of bounds, and then 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:50.120 on replay it wasn't even clear he stepped out of bounds. 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.120 Look like he Sean Elliott did it to me, which 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.440 if you're watching the Western Conference finals, damn near thirty 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.960 years ago, Seawan Elliott in the corner. I think they 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.960 were playing the suns. I'm not certain got a three. 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.960 His heels were over the line, but he kept his 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.359 heels up in the air and he nailed it. That 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.680 to me, not only am I not sure it was 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.839 the right call, but I don't think you can minutes 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.120 later take three points off the board. However, that's not 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.159 why Miami lost, even though it did come down to 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.159 a possession. Miami lost because they weren't good enough. But 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:26.600 despite not being good enough, Boston's up thirteen with three 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.560 and a half minutes left and then does every single 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.240 thing they can do to lose that game. And if 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.520 they had lost that game, Jimmy takes the three after 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.360 they get another miss to take the lead with eighteen 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.719 seconds left, it would have been, without a doubt, the 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:49.920 biggest choke job in NBA history. Thirteen point lead in 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.719 a game seven against a team that is dying, a 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.360 team that has one guy you're afraid of to go 0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:01.720 to the finals, that would have been an unspeak loss. However, 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.760 they were able to get through it. Now that did 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.400 make me a little concerned with them for the finals, 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.839 because they have played so well for the last five 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.960 months now, but close games they have seemed to fall 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.919 apart a bit at the end, so that concerns me. 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.440 The Warriors experience concerns. We will talk more about that 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.640 in a minute. But overall, why did Boston win. Boston 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:30.520 won because they had five guys who on any given 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.479 night could make winning plays for you in Tatum Brown, 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:40.080 Smart Horford and Grant Williams, even though he wasn't very 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.279 good in this series, So call it four guys. The 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.960 Heat had one and a half, They had Jimmy Butler 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.360 and then Bam out of Bayo a couple games. So 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.080 I picked the Heat in seven. I ended up being 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.719 wrong that anyone, and I'm not going to get into 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.280 it right here. We did it on the television show. 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.240 By the time you guys are hearing this on Tuesday, 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.440 it will have been discussed. I want to make this 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.760 very clearly, so anyone arguing that Jimmy Butler should have 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:07.359 gone for two instead of three Flatley doesn't understand the 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.680 math you It is. It is not a discussion. It 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:15.160 is not a reasonable people can disagree. It is simply 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:19.600 basic level math on why the three is so much. 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.120 You know, what I will get into it here, just 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:25.600 real quick, just real quick. Sorry. Let's just say you 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:30.600 believe Jimmy Butler had an eighty percent chance of making 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.600 a short jump shot or a layup on Horford, and 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.680 eighty percent is way higher than he actually had. Even 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.520 if he had an eighty percent chance of tying the game, there, 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.240 the three is still the better shot. Here's why. So 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.160 he has an eighty percent chance to tie it then, 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.320 and again it's not eighty, but call it eighty. Then 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.360 you then have to stop Boston, and because it's tied, 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.520 they're holding for the last shot. So you say you 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.840 have a fifty to fifty shot. So now you're eighty 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:02.000 percent chance of winning is down to forty percent, And 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.240 just by stopping them, you then have to win in overtime, 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.160 which again would not have been a fifty to fifty 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.440 shot because Butler had played all forty eight minutes. The 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:10.920 Heat were not the better team, they had led the 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.040 whole time. But give that a fifty to fifty shot. 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.920 So eighty percent, fifty percent, fifty percent going for two, 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:22.120 your best case scenario is a twenty percent chance to 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.960 win the game. That's your best case scenario. You go 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.680 for three and you make it. Even if Boston goes 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.760 down and scores, you still have a chance because Boston 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.200 has to go quick. So it's not it's it's not 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.920 even a discussion. Jimmy made the right play. I didn't 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.400 understand the Shrews call, and Boston almost had an epic 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.000 choke job. I hope that answers your question. All right, Danielle, 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:42.520 what's next? 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.440 Your two fades are in the finals, the Warriors and 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:47.080 the Celtics. 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.199 Can't believe this my life. You got your Celtics Finals. 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:51.240 Who do I have in the finals? 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.200 Yeah? 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.840 I don't know who's going to win. I can tell 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.800 you who's going to lose, Danielle, who me? Yeah, no 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:05.600 matter what, no matter who wins. I am so pardon 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:05.960 me here. 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:12.400 Yeah, it's it. You know why because your mouth? What 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.480 do you mean you just talk too much, too fast? 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.839 Oh it's literally my job. 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.559 Yeah, yeah, well you know, Okay. 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:23.920 Well here's the problem. If the Celtics win, I have 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.959 takes from the past that are not gonna have aged well, 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.560 ladies and gentlemen. I called Jalen Brown a homeless man's 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.800 Kawhi Leonard. I called Jason Tatum the fourth best guy 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.520 in his own draft class. I mocked Danny Ainge forever. 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.160 I so, if the Celtics win, I look like an idiot. 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:48.760 If the Warriors win, I guaranteed Steph would never make 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.360 another finals. After they traded for Wiggins, I called Wiggins 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:53.200 a bad player. 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:58.960 I have no mouth. I'm boxed in talk too much. 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.880 I am boxed in here. I don't know what I'm 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:03.520 I think the Warriors are gonna win. 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.120 My pick is the war I want the Warriors to win. 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:10.559 Why I like the Warriors. Why I've always liked the Warriors. 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:14.839 Why because it's a Cali teen. Okay, I'm saying I like. 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:19.440 Staff, I like Draymond, I like Clay. Like come on now, 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:20.240 that's a great team. 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.440 Okay, well listen. I feel badly that Demand's not here 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.880 today because the Celtics are his squad. He wanted to 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.920 take a victory lap today. He's not well. Hopefully on 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.200 Wednesday he can take his victory lap before the finals. 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.040 Because I do think the Warriors are gonna win the finals. 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.080 I do think they're gonna win Game one. What I 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:42.480 also know is this Boston Celtics fans are blue collar, 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:48.880 hard scrabble New Englanders. Warriors fans are not the old 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.280 school Oakland fans, but the new Warriors fans are through 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.920 through tech West Coast millionaire billionaire types. 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:57.960 You know. 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.480 The only common ground they have what hating me? That's 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.600 the only Warriors and Celtic fans have in common. Like, Hey, 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.240 the dude don't have as one in the mornings. He's 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:09.320 a jackass, isn't he? 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:09.480 Like? 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.640 Yeah, we agree on that sucks? What I got him? 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:13.640 What'd you say? 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:14.240 I understand? 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.400 Okay, but I've got the Warriors. I think the I 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.800 don't think these games will be blowouts, and I think 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.480 the late game execution favors the Warriors greatly. And it 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:27.360 should be noted that the Warriors with a healthy Steph 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:32.120 Clay and Draymond are twenty one and one under Steve 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.840 Curran playoff series. Do you know the only time they lost? 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.160 Who beat him? Come on, you know the only. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:37.560 Thing I don't know? 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:38.000 You do know? 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:38.160 No? 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:43.480 No, no, no, The only one to ever beat him 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:47.040 with Lebron the gre James. Okay, all right, what's next? 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.320 Your MAVs lost? You still put Luca in twentieth in 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:52.400 your top fifty. 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:53.480 Yeah, people didn't like that. 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.880 Defend yourself, explain how Dallas gets to the next level. 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.520 All right, let me defend the Luca defense. If people 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.320 want to know I had him in the top twenty, 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.280 watch the Luca video. I went on YouTube, by the way, 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:08.000 and check the views on the individual player videos, not 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.960 the full episodes on because our great social team cuts 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.800 each individual player video. People aren't watching them. Guys, go 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.720 watch the Luca video. It'll be posted by the time 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.520 this is up, and you'll see my defense for it. 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.280 There's the precedent with Shack being on the top fifty. 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.960 I had Lucas slotted in at twenty before this playoff run. 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.480 This playoff run only even validated it further. Now, what 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.720 do the MAVs need to do this summer? Because Jason 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:37.000 Kidd talked about wanting to get them a secondary option, 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.079 what they need to do with it. I love this 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.280 flirtation with zach Levine. I love the idea of that 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:47.000 a Zach Levine Jalen Brunson sign and trade. Maybe I 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:51.000 like the idea of it. I would not be willing 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.720 to pay Jalen Brunson thirty million a year now. Demand's 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.800 aid to his credit brought up the rudy Gobert idea. 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:02.280 I don't like the idea of Rudy Gobert. However, he 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.560 does solve a lot of the MAVs problems, and I 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.400 think Luca would get the most out of him offensively, 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.520 if you can get anything out of him. But the 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:15.199 idea of making Jalen Brunson Luca's co star for the 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.720 time moving forward, it's just that I don't think he's 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.679 good enough, and I do think the MAVs need to 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.280 learn from the mistakes of other teams that have these 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:28.440 transcendent players and try to microwave it. The Hornet screwed 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.480 it up, or the Pelicans screwed it up with Anthony Davis, 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:35.400 the Cavs screwed it up with Lebron. The Bucks did 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.920 not screw it up with Giannis. Is the type of 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:42.560 player you haven't don't be over zealous me like, we've 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.400 got to resign Jalen if that's going to lock you 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:50.520 into this team. Also, producers putting on the screen Luca 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.840 the next Jokic, Give me a break, Give me a break, 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.440 as idersand Jokic has also been to a conference finals. 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.840 I get it, but nobody in their right mind. Yeah, yeah, 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.760 great job I see the other producers fled the building 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.320 because they saw what a bad take that was. Luke 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.520 is the next Yokich? All right, what's the last topic. 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.840 The Lakers hired dam Almost? 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.120 Well? You fourth times of charm? Darvinham, Darvinham? 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.640 I bet that's right. Do you like that higher? 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.240 I do like the higher. I do like Darvin Ham, 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.480 not only because he was on the cover of Sports 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.400 Illustrated when I was a kid shattering a backboard, but 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:36.000 Imo Odoka, Manti Williams, Willie green Ty, Lou Steve Kerr. 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.479 What do they all have in common? They're all incredibly 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:43.000 successful head coaches, some very young, very limited experience, but 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:48.120 were former players and instantly had success. So I like that. 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.680 I also like the fact Mark Stein is reporting that 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.920 the Lakers are gonna let Ham pick his own staff, 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:57.040 something they were hesitant to do with other coaches in 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.760 the past, and that Kurt Rambis is not gonna be 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:04.520 sitting and coaching meetings giving his two cents. However, all 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.840 of that is nice, None of it really matters for 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.360 the Lakers if they don't find a trade partner for Westbrook. 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.880 I know you were excited about Russ going to the Lakers. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.520 It was a total disaster. It couldn't have gone any worse, 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.840 and so I like the ham Hire. However, that is 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:27.240 twenty five percent of the job this summer. Fifty five 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.400 percent of the job this summer is finding a trade 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.200 partner for Westbrook. The other thirty percent is finding some 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.920 athletic wings. It's a hell of a job. Rob Bolink 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.400 has got in front of him. Luckily, he's about the 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.960 worst guy for it. I can't believe they kept Polenka. 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.040 All right, we'll be right back. 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.960 If your football team had one option in their playbook, 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.960 the results probably wouldn't be great.

No, 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:57.880 you have excuses. You've gotten lazy. You rather play freaking 0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:59.600 fortnite and. 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.560 Is new Fortnite's just I don't care. 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.440 You always figure out something else to do. Didn't work out? 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.560 When are you working out? I'll see you working out. 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:08.960 I work out while I'm at work. 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:09.280 Man. 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:13.280 Do I need to stand up? I am hot salt? 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:16.320 All right? You ready to go? 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:17.000 Yeah? 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:17.359 All right? 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.200 You silence your phone because that's important. 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.760 I wanted to make sure that it silence. Go ahead. 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:24.679 Do you need me to do it silent? 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:25.080 Well? 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.280 Yeah, yeah, you leave me alone? 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.920 You see how quick? Put your fisted up? All right? 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.480 Welcome back in? What's right? Nick? Right? Danielle? Right in 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:41.320 for Demonse today. Demanse unfortunately has laryngitis, otherwise known as 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.200 spent all night at the hookah bar h. He's mad 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.880 at me for saying that he's walking around right now angry. 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:51.440 Can't take a Celtics victory. Laugh. He was so excited 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.200 for today's show. But hey, listen, we all have to 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.200 learn things. In Demonse's defense, I don't actually know he 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.480 was at the hookah bar because whatever happened I'm happening 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.520 to on Friday and Friday, I was out with this 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.119 one in Philadelphia gambling all night. So I can't really 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.600 talk trash myself. You ready to go? All right, We've 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.520 got a serious topic to start this segment, Danielle, What 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:12.240 are we discussing? 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:17.240 Giants manager Gabe Kapler said he won't come out for 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.560 the anthem due to the US gun violence. What are 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:21.840 your thoughts? 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:27.960 Okay? So I obviously respect and support Gabe Kapler's protest. Here, 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.919 we spent a lot of time on the show last 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:36.919 week talking about my thoughts on you know, guns in 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:41.879 this country and what the unspeakable tragedy that happened in 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.840 Ubaldi after the unspeakable tragedy that happened in Buffalo. So 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.359 I don't want to actually discuss that part of it. 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:50.199 If you want to see it or hear what I 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:52.680 said about that, go to win the Thursday's episode from 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:56.720 last week episode twenty two. Uh, what I do want 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:02.159 to talk about is how unbelievable it is to me 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:09.600 at how just fine so much of the media, sports 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:17.040 and otherwise, how fine they are with being total abject hypocrites, 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:20.960 and how they're reacting to this versus how they reacted 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:25.120 to a different prominent San Francisco sports figure that took 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:28.400 a stand during the national anthem because of an issue 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:32.080 with the United States. It is. You could not have 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:36.080 scripted a more one to one example. So you have 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:42.960 Colin Kaepernick six years ago saying, because of police violence 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.280 in this country, I am going to kneel during the anthem, 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:52.600 and the entire sports world and newsworld and political world 0:19:53.080 --> 0:20:00.679 lost itch. And for years it was a topic. You 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:05.320 had presidential candidates mentioning it. It was on It crossed 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:10.680 over from sports to news. It was legitimately a lead 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:17.399 story for months and months and months, multiple years. It 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:23.840 was a discussion. Okay, in the twenty twenty election, it 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:28.960 got brought up by politicians and on political news. Gabe 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:34.280 Kapler does an almost identical thing. Instead of taking a knee, 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.679 he's simply saying he's not even gonna come out of 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:41.120 the clubhouse. His reasoning is not because of police violence, 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:44.320 but because of general gun violence, and in his statement, 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:46.800 by the way, he took some I think fair put 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:50.439 some shots at the police, and it's met with a oh, 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:54.040 that's interesting. Maybe it'll fit into the end of some 0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:58.520 of these shows. Maybe we'll squeeze in ninety seconds for 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:00.240 it at the end of it, thirty seconds for it 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:03.640 at the end of a newscast. If you ever needed 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:09.080 more evidence that the reaction to Colin Kaepernick was not 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:13.199 about respecting the flag, not about respecting the troops, not 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:20.360 about patriotism, it was purely and always only about America's 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:25.359 allergy to black folks protesting in any way, shape or form, 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.359 then I don't know what more evidence you could you 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:31.639 could need. There's a perfect example. It's the same city, 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:35.399 it's the it's the same exact method of protest. I'm 0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:39.520 gonna use the national anthem to show my disgust for 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.760 a certain element of what's happening in this country. Are 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:47.680 folks telling Gabe Kapler to move? Is this the lead 0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:53.160 story on all the shows? Is this gonna be Are 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:56.600 we gonna discuss whether or not Kapler is gonna be 0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:59.280 able to stay as a manager in baseball, maybe lose 0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:02.040 his job. Tony Larus has said a few things. It 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:04.560 was mentioned a few times on the shows, and people 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:09.280 moved on because it was never about the troops. It 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.880 was never about the anthem. It was never about the 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:16.560 military or patriotism or any of it. It was always 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:20.600 about telling a rich black guy, shut up, you have 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:24.600 it good enough. And the fact that Gabe Kapler is 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:26.320 going to get to mostly skate on this, and by 0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:31.920 the way, I'm glad he does. There's nothing more American 0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:38.679 then nonviolent protests. And I totally under just like I 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.919 understood why kapp was using the anthem, because the anthem 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:45.680 has been politicized, and that whole pregame ritual has been politicized. 0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:48.240 To use it to make a statement, I get why 0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:55.120 Kapler's doing. But the way Kapler and Steve Kerr and 0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:59.080 Greg Popovich and all these guys can say and do 0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:04.679 almost whatever they want with whatever criticism there is, it 0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:10.159
