But I think they made it maybe five 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.440 or ten times worse than it already was. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:46.560 Honest with you, and this is from. 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.599 Someone who who is not a huge basketball fan but 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.839 is getting more into the game of basketball. This didn't 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.039 help any not one bit. I'm not sure what mister 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.279 Silver is gonna do about it. I think maybe at 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.440 the players can come up with a better idea to 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:02.200 make it interesting. 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.800 This just wasn't it. It just was. 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:08.960 It's hard to get it back once you lose it. 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.600 We saw that with the Pro Bowl, Yes, sir, and 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.760 I kept trying to tell those guys on Joe, Yes, 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.480 I see guys, they're gonna cancel this. They're not gonna 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.840 keep giving you guys free money like this. You can't 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.800 play touch football in a tackle football league. And y'all say, 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.800 I listen, I'm not telling Look, I want you guys 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.640 to go. You can play. We've done it. I went 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.200 to a number of all Star Games. You went to 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.440 a number of All Star Games. It wasn't like a 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.240 regular season game, but it was like a nice padded 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:39.800 practice what they were doing. And now, I mean, they're 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.000 just running down, jumping up, shooting three. It's just it's hard, 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:44.800 o Joe. And when I tell them, I said, man, 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:46.000 it's gonna be hard to get it back. 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.240 And this is not it. Look I get it. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.560 I thought the team shot when they played the upp 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.080 the Rising Stars, I thought they played harder than I was. Like, 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.360 you know what if the East and West actually played 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.080 like this, Yeah, okay, this might be doable, oh Joe. 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.120 But then you're not gonna You're not gonna get the 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.080 Stars to play like that. You know them boys even 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:05.480 to go out there playing hard like that. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:06.880 No, it's not. 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.760 Maybe maybe you try one on one, Maybe you try horse. 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:12.960 You gotta try something on your because this just ain't 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:14.800 cutting it. But you know it's not cutting it. 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.280 You know, horse ain't The horse is not going to 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.080 to get the viewers. That's not going to grab you attention. 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.400 You have to have some type of format that's going 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.960 to grab the viewers' attention and had them locked in 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.000 the entirely of the time. If anything, I say, bring 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.200 back the East West and let's say the winner gets 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.680 home at home home court advantage or something. Do it 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.319 buying where eighteen puts up a million dollars. You know, 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:38.560 if money is an incentive, they will play unh You 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.160 know that's what about. They already had a few money, 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.440 So what is an incidive for them to play hard. 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.040 Well, they used to be ojo before they started reading 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.160 the revenue because when I first went to the Pro Bowl, 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.040 the winners got ten thousand and the losers got five. Well, 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.360 you really needed that money because if you invited ten 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.560 to eleven people, that ten thousand was gone. 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.600 You damn sure better try to win that. That's your 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:00.320 overhead it. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:02.800 You better damn sure better try to win that game 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:06.800 on Joe to uh to offset some of that cost. 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.800 But I just don't I just don't really know how 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.280 the NBA can get it back because the guys have 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:14.080 made a decision. 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.160 They're not gonna play hard. They're just not Ojo. 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.520 I just told you, listen, get it back to the 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:24.160 East versus the West. Yes, have a pot, have a pot, 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.120 have the play and you know the players. Let the 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.800 NBA put up the pot let's say five million dollars, 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.280 say five million, and the players get to spit that 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.679 five million, they get a cut. That's the only way 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:37.800 it has to be in order feeling to play hard. 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:42.040 It has to be incentivized with money. Nothing else. There 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.439 is no format that's gonna get them to play hard. 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.080 Thank you about what you just said, O Joe. I've 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.240 got if.

Think about what you're just 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:01.680 I've got the fuck. 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:05.800 I've got to further incentivize you to showcase your sport. 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.360 So this is one of the collection of the NBA's 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.400 best player twenty four of the best NBA players. Now 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.199 I need to further incentivize you. It used to be 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.040 an honor to go to the All Star Game.

This is my time off, 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.160 So you're telling me I need to work doing my break. Okay, 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.600 you know what, I made the All Star team. I'm 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.120 an All Star. It's a great achievement, you know what. 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.480 I am honored at the midway point, you feel I 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.480 played to a certain level while I'm worthy of being one. 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.600 But you know what, if you're not paying me right 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.280 like I'm being paid during the regular season where I do, 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.200 go on, nobody plays the All Stars like that NFL, 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.200 you don't get paid like you're in the regular season. 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:02.000 On Joe baseball, hockey, Oh Joe, think about this. So 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:03.840 if it doesn't mean that much to you, why the 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.079 hell they complain when they don't make it. Because every 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.559 year we hear NFL players complaining they didn't make the 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:13.160 Pro Bowl, and we basketball players complain and we see 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:13.560 all of this. 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.880 But now when you get there, you don't want to play. 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:17.720 Can I tell you why they complain when they'll make 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.319 the All Star Because they understand when they make the 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.719 All Star, when their resume look good, when it's time 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:29.840 to get paid. Understand that is leverage for their agents. 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.160 When it's when it's time to talk contract negotiations. Yes, 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.240 I'm an all star, I'm all pro. You know, whatever 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:40.360 it is. It may be that LEAs don't go oh joe. 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.840 You know how it is once you get tired, once 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:44.880 you reach a certain level. What did Tom Brady do? 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.880 He stopped going a lot of these quarterbacks they stop 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.080 going right right, Okay, let somebody else have that spot 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.600 that's going to be inspired to play and play and play. 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.000 That's what I did with ad Man who the back 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.280 of who first aft in it a bro, I'm out 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.720 go ahead and take it, cause I understand, like you said, 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:04.040 gonna look good in their resume. 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.400 I'm not gonna go over there, bull drive around. I 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.400 did one year, but I was in a contract year. 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.600 Well in the contract, yeah, hey, contract year. I said, 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.320 oh no, y'all not finish. I'm not finna get in 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.720 and we ain't take the two tight ends. And Tom 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.160 Complin was running double tight end. I said, y'all, kiss 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.200 my butt. I'm out of this thing. I say, I'm 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.280 out of here. First quarter, I went and got me 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:28.760 to two ice bags put on both knees. I don't 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.880 know if they were hurting or not, but they felt good. 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.600 After the game. But I just this, this buzz this 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.080 bugs me, Ojo. I really hate it because this is 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.760 an opportunity. I grew up watching the All Star Game 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.680 and watching Bird and Magic them go at it. I 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.480 sailed them, and you see the younger Cats guard that 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.040 in Kobe, it was trying to beat the these guys. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.800 I don't know, O Joe. I'll be honest. 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:58.280 I don't know when this happened, whether the disconnect was like, hey, 0:12:58.440 --> 0:12:59.920 let's just dunk and shoot threes. 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:01.839 Ain't no defense, don't shoot threes. 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.720 I don't know whenning in the Pro Bowl that they 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.760 decided they want to play two hand touched. I don't 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.720 know the exact year, but I knew the exact moment 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.439 when I said, you know what, they're gonna cut this inshot? 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:13.200 Yeah. 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.760 Yeah, but you know what, who comes up with a format? Huh, 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:18.319 mister Silver, You. 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.400 Know, well, he just trying. He's trying stuff. You see baseball. 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.800 See if I get it in baseball, Oh Joe, you 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.679 throw the ball, you try to put bat on ball, 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:27.480 and you run the base, you try to catch. But 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.040 it says, okay, whoever wins the all whoever wins the 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.880 All Star Game, that's who has home court home field 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.240 throughout the playoffs. Well, maybe you might need to do 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.880 that for the for the All Star Game instead of 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:39.880 the best record win the All Star Game. 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.360 You know who needs you know who needs to come 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.360 up with the format for it for to be interesting 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:49.000 to get the players to play who the players. 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.920 Players? But you know what, you don't wanna kill me 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:53.480 all these players? 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:58.720 Oh Michael Jordan, Oh Kobe, and not go look at 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:00.560 Kobe and Michael Jordan all start gameing. 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.040 Oh they y'all love them so much, they're going all out. 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:05.040 But that's what I don't get. 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:09.320 I love the Mamba mentality and black Jesus. And then 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.079 y'all get over there, y'all lay it down. See that's 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.720 the problem I got on yow ain't gotta listen. And 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.640 guys that make it, I think they're more than they've 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.080 earned that right to be there. 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:20.760 Yes, absolutely, but you can't. 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:25.120 You can't applaud and lawn someone for how they approach 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.360 the game and then you go over there and you 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:32.160 lay it down because that's what y'all do, right, that's 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:32.680 what y'all do. 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:34.640 Maybe maybe they need to have Michael Jordan come in 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.640 there and give them a pep talk. Na, Mike, Mike 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:39.680 chilling with that cigar man. Mike ain't coming there and 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.160 talk nothing. But I'm telling you, I'm telling you what 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:41.960 the fore man needs to be. 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:42.800 Matter of fact. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.800 You know what you can do sometime You can listen 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:48.040 to the people. That that could that could always be one. 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.640 If you don't listen to the people and it's not working, 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.600 the format not working with the NBA officials who create 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:54.960 the format. 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.400 Leave it in the player's hands. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.080 Oh Joe, they left it in the player's hand. You see, 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.520 you got two or les to what eighty six? You 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.760 got shooting threes in dunks. They left it in the 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.080 players head, and that's what you got. Don't let the 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.080 players players f it up. They left it in the 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.600 players head, just like the Pro Bowl and what happened 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:12.320 on Joe. 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.280 You got no game no more. You got the skills 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.160 competition flag flag football. 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.080 Yes, so no, do not leave it up to the players. 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:24.080 That's the problem they left it. The problem is is 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.160 that they gave the players too much control. Somebody decided 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.880 this is the way we're gonna do it. They tried everything. Well, 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.760 whoever wins this quarter gets three hundred thousand for their 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.880 favorite for the Boys and Girls Club and your favorite 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:39.160 the charity that was adopted. That didn't work. They tried 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:43.280 something else that didn't work. This right here was a book. Look, 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:45.480 I Love I Love Jimmy and mister Bee's and he 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.560 come out there and the kid won one hundred thousand dollars. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.400 But come on, man, at some point in time, at 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.520 the end of the day, it's still basketball game. 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.640 Yeah, all these gimmicks and all that other stuff. Oh Joe, 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:56.960 it's still the fundamentals. 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.800 Look the MLB they have the home run derby, right, 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.640 but you still it's an All Star game. 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.720 You put back on ball. That's what it's about. 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:14.640 Football is about catching, running, and tickling basketball. They play 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.960 tougher at UCLA. They play tougher at the Summit in 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.120 New York. Now you mean to tell me you're gonna 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.440 do that in the offseason, But come All Star Game 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.200 when it's the opportunity for you to showcase for the 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:26.800 world to see. 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:27.640 Lay it down. 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.240 Yeah, and then y'all wonder why the ratings, don't wonder, 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.280 don't wonder why the ratings are falling. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.560 You know why.
