This is a ridiculous. That 113 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 3: is ridiculous. Can we go to the topic, man, topic? 114 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,679 Speaker 4: The topic at hand today A really good one here, Carrie, 115 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 4: to have you here because of course you play in 116 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 4: the NFL, and so there's a conversation where you had 117 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 4: some NFL execs and coaches and also some scouts as well, 118 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 4: and they do this annually. And they rank the top players, 119 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 4: but they kind of go position by position. So we start, 120 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 4: of course with quarterbacks and they more than seventy anonymous. 121 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 4: Like we mentioned, coaches and execks and scouts. I'll get 122 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 4: into this, and they get down to the top ten. 123 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 4: So the last few years, the number one has been 124 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes. But will there be changes this year? Drum roll, No, 125 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 4: ain't no changes. Patrick Mahomes is number one again. However, 126 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 4: there's a little bit of controversy. 127 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 3: He is his lead. The gap has lessened. 128 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 4: The gap is slimmer because you got guys keep creeping 129 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 4: up on them. So it goes like this number one Mahomes, 130 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 4: Number two, Josh Allen, you have Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson. 131 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 4: Number five is where it gets interesting to me. Jade 132 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 4: and Daniels, Yes, and then and so on. We'll go 133 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 4: down the long list a little bit later on, but 134 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 4: I want to start with this Patrick Mahomes. Part of 135 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 4: the reason, if you read the article, some execs says, 136 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 4: which is kind of how I felt. And I had 137 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 4: to argue with Rob last year his numbers weren't great. 138 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 4: If I just told you a guy had twenty eight 139 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 4: and eleven, you I mean, that's solid, you know, but 140 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 4: if I told you Patrick Mahomes, but I wanted a 141 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 4: little bit better on your hat. Right now, you have 142 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 4: a goat, and he was a legit person competing to 143 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 4: be the goat. Those aren't goat like numbers. So this 144 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 4: is my thing that I pointed out that some of 145 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 4: these anonymous scouts and gyms and all that pointed out 146 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 4: as well. His offensive line was bad. He was running 147 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 4: around for his life. Also, his wide receivers, as we 148 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 4: know it decimated with injuries. So he was making the 149 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 4: best out of what he had. You know, sometimes mama 150 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 4: ain't have everything, but she gonna make the best of. 151 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 3: What she had. 152 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 4: We gonna eat and we're gonna eat good. And in 153 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 4: this case, that's him winning to the tune of fifteen 154 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 4: and two. So that was one of the things pointed out. 155 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 4: But also they said other guys getting better. Some said 156 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 4: Joe Burrows and playing the best football last couple seas. 157 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 4: Some of guys said lamar Jay, you know, so on 158 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,119 Speaker 4: and so forth down the line. 159 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 3: Sure, So. 160 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 4: My thing with this is when it comes to Patrick Mahomes, 161 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 4: it's really difficult to kind of explain because me and 162 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 4: Robb g were discussing this. Patrick Mahomes has done something 163 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 4: that every ten to fifteen years a guy will do 164 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 4: in a sport, and it'll happen in other sports only 165 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,239 Speaker 4: maybe twenty twenty five years, where we have a handful 166 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 4: of guys who have done this. Carrie, I think you'll 167 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 4: feel me. Patrick Mahomes isn't rare air. Patrick Mahomes is 168 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 4: in the as of recent NBA wise Lebron Tiger Woods 169 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 4: with golf Serena Williams with tennis Tom Brady playing the 170 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 4: same position in the same league in the NFL. And 171 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 4: what that is is at a certain point they had 172 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 4: so much winning, and they did it early or at 173 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 4: least in a certain span of years, and they dominated, 174 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 4: and so they had the numbers, they had the wins, 175 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 4: and they did it in a unique style that was 176 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 4: different that all of a sudden in your psyche will 177 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 4: they're just gonna win. And there was a period in 178 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 4: time where Lebron was just that guy, He's gonna win MVP. 179 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: If I say, hey, who's gonna win this series? You know, 180 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 4: you say, I gotta go with Lebron, and he might lose, 181 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 4: and just like Patrick Holmes has lost in Super Bowls, 182 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 4: but you're like, I'm going with that guy. Even when 183 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 4: tiger Woods started to get banged up a little bit 184 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 4: started to be a little less than he was. If 185 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 4: I said, who you putting the money on his turn 186 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 4: this in the US Open? Who'd have Tiger Woods? Who'd 187 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 4: you putting the money on Augusta Serena Williams has a baby, 188 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 4: comes back, she's don her best shape, she's trying to 189 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 4: work it out, she has some injuries. 190 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 3: If I said, he but. 191 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 4: Who you got who's winning the Australian Open, Serena Williams 192 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 4: tom Brady. He's in his forties, He's this, he's trying 193 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 4: to figure it out. He's eating avocado ice cream. And 194 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 4: if I said who you got to win? You say 195 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 4: Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes has gotten to that point 196 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 4: because I get that year by year he hasn't been 197 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 4: the best player. Yes, for the last few years, last 198 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 4: couple of years in particular, season by season, I get 199 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 4: the last couple of years. You can look at other 200 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 4: guys numbers. They're doing more dazzling, more beautifully style of football. 201 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 4: It's more spectacular to watch. They're blowing people out regularly, 202 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 4: routinely where he was ekeing by people off last year. 203 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 4: But when it comes down to it, it is difficult 204 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 4: for me to put any of them in a position 205 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 4: where I would pick them over him in a game, 206 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 4: in a meaningful game, if it's a playoff game, a 207 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 4: Super Bowl game and going up against the Now the 208 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 4: other guys are in his division, but let's just say 209 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 4: in the playoff game, I can't pick against or not. 210 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 4: His division is conference. I can't pick against him. And 211 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 4: that's a credit to the run he had, the run 212 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 4: of Lebron had, the run of Brady, the run of attacker, 213 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 4: where you're like, until I see otherwise, routinely, I gotta 214 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 4: go with the guy that routinely is in the Super 215 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 4: Bowl win loser, draw. Routinely there routinely fifteen and two. Yeah, 216 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 4: I mean, and everything you said is correct. 217 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 3: It's right. 218 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 4: I feel the yeah, the stallion Klay Thompson girlfriend. But 219 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 4: there is a butt right because he went in by 220 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 4: the way. I'm sorry, ahead, No, Like everything you said 221 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 4: is right. 222 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 5: But there is a level of the expectations that we 223 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 5: have been accustomed to expecting from Patrick Mahomes, the level 224 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 5: of play, the things that he does when he first 225 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 5: came to the league. A lot of the stuff he 226 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 5: was doing was unorthodox, right for a guy that was winning. 227 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 3: Yea. 228 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 5: And I think and I think that part of it 229 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 5: was cool to see the aesthetics of it. You mean 230 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 5: this the aesthetics the way he played. I mean obviously 231 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 5: when he first started he couldn't read defense as well either. 232 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 5: He was out there winging that play. Yeah, and it 233 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 5: was and it was beautiful to see. So you have 234 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 5: seen the evolution of his game from the first year 235 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 5: he started to where he is now. Right now, they 236 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 5: have caught up to him. Those top four that we 237 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 5: that were named on any given day, they can be the. 238 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 3: Best quarterback in the league. I don't disagree. 239 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 5: And that's the point, right, So when you make these 240 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 5: lists and you make a concrete number one, this is 241 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 5: the number one guy, there's always an asterisk behind it 242 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 5: because obviously that's attributed to team success. If he was 243 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 5: in Lamar Jackson's position at four, putting up the numbers 244 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 5: that Lamar is putting up, winning the MVPs and all 245 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 5: the things that. 246 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 3: He's been doing. 247 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 5: And not getting the wins, would he still be number 248 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 5: one as a And and when you think of wins 249 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 5: that's a team thing. It's not just him. Obviously, he's 250 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 5: the head of the snake. And you can make that 251 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 5: argument what you just said, what you just eloquently said, 252 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 5: and it can be true. But on the flip side 253 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 5: of that, if Lamar's team has let him down, and 254 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 5: I'm not saying that's always been the case, Lamar hasn't 255 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 5: always played well in big playoff games either, But if 256 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 5: the roles were switch, would he be one and Patrick 257 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 5: mahons before? I think that's my argument, right, So when 258 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 5: you make these lists, especially coming off recent history the 259 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 5: last couple of years, it's been clear that there's been 260 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 5: quarterback played better than Patrick mahoney, So why can you 261 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 5: concretely say that he's number one? 262 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 3: And that's always my tip, And I don't. 263 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 4: Think anything of any of these are concrete, which is 264 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 4: why I think a big yet. But I think that 265 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 4: so when you start to poll people and then the 266 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 4: way they put the rankings in power this guy got 267 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 4: more votes, he got more first play votes. You know 268 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 4: they do all the metrics in the numbers. I don't 269 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 4: think it's concrete. I think he got sixty percent of 270 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 4: the number one votes this time around, so it wasn't 271 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 4: like a blowout where That's why I say it wasn't concrete. 272 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 4: And I do think you know, if you read through 273 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 4: some of their points, that was just what you said, Hey, yo, 274 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow. They said he has been the big least. 275 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 4: Some of them said that his footwork is timing, is 276 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 4: completion percentage at seventy percent. They were saying, like, you know, 277 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 4: he's kind of the guy. Others would say, oh, look 278 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 4: look at what Josh Allen is just a whole different 279 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 4: beast to size the speed of athleticism. But I think 280 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 4: what the common denominator is, Carrie, I will go, yeah, 281 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 4: that's cool, Yeah, I hear you, yep, yuh. Well they're 282 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 4: lining up this Sunday AFC title game. Who you got 283 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 4: and that's been proven and that's the thing that that's 284 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 4: why he's the guy. Now, you know, we'll talk later 285 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,599 Speaker 4: on some more of his lifts and maybe even a 286 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 4: little bit further on here. 287 00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 3: You know, there's more to be dissect. 288 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 4: I think about Lamar Jackson because I've been saying something 289 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 4: about Lamar Jackson for an entire year that I've been 290 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 4: doing this odd couple and I know you've been here 291 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 4: for days that I've said it, and I know you 292 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 4: echoed the same sentiments about how great he's been. But 293 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 4: I do think there's something too why he's on this list. 294 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 3: Now. 295 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 4: This is the second year in a row that Lamar 296 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 4: Jackson has been for So we'll get into that a 297 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 4: little because I can see why you feel like you 298 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 4: want to go off. It's the first segment. You're trying 299 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 4: to be nice. You already know, alright, just you know, 300 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 4: because hey, hey, Rob g Joe Burrow don't exist with Carrie. 301 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 3: I ain't hear it? 302 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 4: No, he does, he does. I love Joe, I said, 303 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 4: you said to Patrick Mahomes. Anyway, Lamar, let me tell 304 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 4: you about Lamar. If we flip flopped the flop of 305 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 4: the flip, why wouldn't Patrick because Lamar, h yeah, I 306 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 4: mean you are here, and you're the embodiment of uh yeah, 307 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 4: you are the You're the embodiment of Rob Parker right now. 308 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 4: I feel like he's here right now. Do you feel 309 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 4: that that's the only black quarterback you like? 310 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 3: Is Lamar? I got some more because we got to 311 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 3: go on that list some more. We'll come back. We're 312 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 3: gonna get a little bit more and then of this. 313 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 4: But That's my big takeaway is that it's a credit 314 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 4: to Patrick Mahomes and the success he had. You just 315 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 4: talked about the style he played, the flair, the hair, 316 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 4: the winning and I remember the super Bowl run they 317 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 4: made against the Niners. He was down ten points in 318 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 4: every single game and all of us went, yeah, they 319 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 4: probably gonna still win. I don't know I feel that 320 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 4: way about Lamar. I don't know I feel that way 321 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 4: about Josh shyl Now. And I'm you know, obviously it's 322 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 4: a game by game meeting. I have to see it. 323 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 4: Are they down ten early? They got a whole forty 324 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 4: five minutes last? Okay, cool is it? But I'm just 325 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 4: saying Patrick Mahomes was the only guy. We're like, how 326 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 4: much time left? Thirteen seconds against the bill whatever it was. Oh, 327 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 4: for sure, Yes he can still win this. And he 328 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 4: reminds me of Steph Curry. Steph Curry, last point here 329 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 4: we got to break. Steph Curry is the only shot. 330 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 4: This is when I get in the arguments with Rob No, 331 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 4: I know. 332 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 3: You've never made a game. 333 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 4: Okay, he's not made one game winner that you like, Yeah, 334 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 4: but he's made every other shot I've ever seen.

He's the only person 340 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 4: in the history of NBA posial hold on. He's shooting 341 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 4: from that free throw line all the way over there, 342 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 4: and you stop, Carrie Rose, don't you hold on? 343 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 3: There's a chance the thing might go in. 344 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 4: Steph Curry the only player, and Patrick Mahomes has a 345 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 4: little bit of that where you're like, hold on this, 346 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 4: he's down, what is it?

But Lamar Jackson 397 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 4: fourth second time on this list of top quarterbacks top 398 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,479 Speaker 4: you know that they've done yep, seventy exacts, anonymous exacts, 399 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 4: GMS as well as scouts. 400 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 3: Fourth You all right with that? 401 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm alright with I'm alright with it 402 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 5: because I'm sure that list it would be if it 403 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 5: was the top player in the NFL, it'll be Lamar Jackson. 404 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 5: Quarterbacking is a different skill set, and so I can 405 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 5: see why people have their you know whatever, have their 406 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,959 Speaker 5: thoughts on the top four. Right The top four in 407 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 5: my mind really really is interchangeable. But when you talk 408 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,239 Speaker 5: about Lamar Jackson and the stuff that he does as 409 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 5: a quarterback and as a player, you want to see 410 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 5: improvement every year. 411 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 3: The guy improves every year. 412 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 5: And I think that's the thing where I have, you know, 413 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 5: my reservations with the list, right k doub It's like, 414 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 5: all right, yes, we know Patrick Mahomes and in the 415 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 5: run when they were winning Super Bowl and he just 416 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 5: went last year he did, but winning them like, you 417 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 5: can look at that guy on the field not just 418 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 5: only the best quarterback but the best player in the 419 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 5: league when he. 420 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 3: Was doing that. 421 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 5: Now he's almost plateaud right now until I see something different. 422 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 5: That's where I'm at, right now it's like, Okay, you 423 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 5: come out and you hit somebody with your fastest serve, 424 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 5: your fastest pitch right out the gate, and people are like, wow, 425 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 5: we're a stunnist. Like I can see that this dude's different. 426 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 5: What's his what's his change up? What's what's his second pitch? 427 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 5: And I think that's what we got to see from 428 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 5: I think Patrick mahomes right now because the second pitch 429 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 5: last year it wasn't that great. 430 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 3: Oh no. 431 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 5: But when you look at Lamar's second pitch, at first, 432 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 5: he was just a running quarterback, right. This is this 433 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 5: is what people said, which he never really was. But 434 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 5: this is what's the thing. What has he done? He 435 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 5: came out and showed them that, No, I can slow 436 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 5: down and stop running, and I can improve in the pocket. 437 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,479 Speaker 5: I can make all the throws on the outside. What 438 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 5: else do you want from me? When you look at 439 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 5: that guy last year, he was the best quarterback in 440 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 5: the league. Dude, I've said it a man, this is 441 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 5: why we were getting ready break. I said, I've screened 442 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 5: he's the best player in the NFL. If you're asking 443 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 5: me just simply, who's the best player who going into 444 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 5: this year? Do I expect to get twelve wins minimum 445 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 5: put up. Look at these stats, Carrey, that that Lamar 446 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 5: put up last year. This is coming off the year 447 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 5: he went he won the MVP thirty six hundred yards, 448 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 5: twenty four touchdown, seven interceptions. 449 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 3: The year before yep, welling, yep. 450 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 4: But he had forty one hundred, forty one touchdowns, four interceptions, 451 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 4: and that's. 452 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 3: Just the passing. 453 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 4: And he didn't win the MVP that and didn't win 454 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 4: the EV, which I told Rob he wasn't because human nature, 455 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 4: people are fatigued. Yes, because I think Lamar Jackson is 456 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 4: so gifted and naturally talented and work so hard, and 457 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 4: his style in a week to week he can't plan 458 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 4: for it. Now in a game you might on a playoff, right, 459 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 4: but we got everything all in his all in his 460 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 4: baskets in this one game. On a game to game Sunday, 461 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 4: Sunday might be Thursday, might be a Monday. You can't 462 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 4: stop that. And by the way, he's got a massive 463 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 4: dude behind him getting ready run the football down your throw. 464 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 4: It's ridiculous. So that's just too much. And by the way, 465 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 4: everybody's like, oh, Derek Henry's gonna take some of those 466 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 4: stats away from him. 467 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 3: No, he only got better. 468 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 4: And so Lamar Jackson is the best football player to 469 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 4: me right now, yes, which sounds crazy that then the 470 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 4: best quarterback I agree is Patrick Mahons because quarterbacks are 471 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 4: just by wins. 472 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 3: It's a little different. It's just the facts different. 473 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 4: And right now I said, Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes 474 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 4: are going in an AFC title game. 475 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 3: Now it's we have to see the season. Who's got 476 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 3: the better this who's injured? 477 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 4: But just off rip, just off my head right and 478 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 4: off the top of my head, I'm taking Patrick mahan. 479 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 5: And the crazy part, I don't even I don't disagree 480 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 5: with you because that's what we've seen. 481 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 3: Yep. 482 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 5: Until we see different, we gotta go. And that's the 483 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 5: luxury he has. 484 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 4: And by the way, one last stat for Patrick Mahomes, 485 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 4: which is I think the key part I should have 486 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 4: let with this earlier. Patrick Mahomes has led all quarterbacks 487 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 4: when it comes to third down completions, his qbrs at 488 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 4: a ninety and his percentage of first downs just fifty 489 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 4: three percent, which means again what drives Rob Parker crazy, 490 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 4: which made him go grayer this year, is that Patrick 491 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 4: Mahomes would make the winning play, might have threw two 492 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,719 Speaker 4: interceptions had the ugly game only had a buck fifty 493 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 4: passing yards. But all of a sudden they find themselves 494 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 4: up only up four, and they need this. 495 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 3: First down the ie to clockout or else they got 496 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 3: a punt it.

Man, just 533 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 4: let's get into this. Four teams interested in Lebron tell 534 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 4: us who they are and where this all came. 535 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 7: About So the teams that I was told were Cavaliers, Clippers, Mavericks, 536 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 7: and Warriors, and they're interested, but there's a lot of 537 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 7: work that has to be done before anything happens. 538 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 4: Now when you get these you get these teams that 539 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 4: are interested. What level of you said a lot of 540 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 4: work to be done, It's just just let me just 541 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 4: go out there and make it. It's like back when 542 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 4: you were in high school and you tried to get 543 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 4: the one girl you knew you couldn't get, you know, 544 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 4: let me just. 545 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 3: Call her and just see. 546 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 4: You never know or is this actually something feasible that 547 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 4: could actually happen. 548 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 7: Well, first and foremost that one girl. I was putting 549 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 7: in work to. 550 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 3: Get this, But. 551 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 7: You go get you what I'm saying. But in actuality, 552 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 7: this is what I'll tell you. I wrote a piece 553 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 7: over at my blog at scoopy dot com about a 554 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 7: week and a half ago, and I actually detailed the 555 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 7: conversation that Lebron James and Kyrie Irving had on the 556 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 7: phone where Kyrie was essentially trying to get Lebron James 557 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 7: to come to Dallas, and the end of that conversation 558 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 7: with Lebron telling Kyrie I'll think about it, and it's 559 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 7: two years later and you're looking at Lebron James opting 560 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 7: into a deal with the Lakers. First of all, you 561 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 7: have to secure your bag, but there's a lot of questions. 562 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 7: Number one, just the direction of what the where the 563 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 7: Lakers are going. Luka Doncic is obviously a world class talent, 564 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 7: so with Lebron. Lebron is getting older, but you could 565 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 7: see that the shifts and the tides are turning as 566 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 7: it relates to just where they're going. I know that 567 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 7: Dallas does have interest as well as the Cleveland Cavaliers. 568 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 7: I think those are the two most realistics teams based 569 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 7: upon conversations that I've had until that has been discussed 570 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 7: with me. But it's a matter of how you get 571 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 7: Lebron there. You'd have to do quite a bit in 572 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 7: order to make that happen. Now, if you look at 573 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 7: the Dallas Mavericks, there's a lot of similiarity there. Head 574 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 7: coach Jason Kidd was part of that bubble team. Frank 575 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 7: bobul is an assistant there. Phil Handy, you got Kyrie Irvindale, 576 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 7: you have the nfthdy Davis did is a lot. Kyrie 577 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 7: wasn't on that Lakers team, but of course familiarity there, 578 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 7: but there would be some pieces that you'd have to 579 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 7: move to the Lakers in order to make that happen. 580 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 7: Cleveland is intriguing, But as it relates to just the 581 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 7: four teams that contacted Rich Paul, I'm told that those 582 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 7: were the four teams that did reach out to him. 583 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 3: Well, Brendan, yes, all that sounds great. Just keep them 584 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 3: away from Dallas, That's all I'll say. But moving why yet? 585 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 5: No, I'm I'm a Maverick fan, and I know if 586 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 5: Lebron comes that situation just it's gonna blow it up 587 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 5: because obviously, if it's not a buyout situation, you're getting 588 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 5: rid of so many key rotation pieces that it just 589 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 5: I don't know, it just doesn't really make sense to me. 590 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 7: So it answer to your question, yeah, I think Ron 591 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 7: having one year left on his deal, I look at 592 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 7: it kind of. I looked at it a year ahead. 593 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 7: So we've already seen a proof of concept where we 594 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 7: see Briddy James be drafted by the Lakers and they 595 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 7: able to play with his dad realistically and futuristically. If 596 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 7: I'm Lebron James, I take this last year to do 597 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 7: a farewell to tour in Los Angeles. Yes, see where 598 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 7: my son goes in the draft and signed with that team. 599 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 7: I think that that creates the perfect stept and it 600 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 7: does something for Lebron in a healthy way that I 601 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 7: don't think Kobe was able to do because of the 602 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 7: Achilles injury and just the way the Lakers were going 603 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 7: at the time when he retired. I think that if 604 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 7: that's what he's looking to do, or move on and 605 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 7: go to a championship contender, I feel like he has 606 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 7: the space to do it. So say the Denver Nuggets 607 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 7: hypothetically draft Bright, So say you know, Memphis or any team. 608 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 7: I think that that would make the most sense for 609 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 7: him to go out and bow out gracefully. 610 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 3: What do you say, Well, so, I'm glad you said. 611 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 4: And by the way, again Brandon Scoop b Robinson television hosts, 612 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 4: an NBA insider, Scoop B on X and social media, 613 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 4: I've been saying usually, obviously rob is here and he 614 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 4: wants to He can't wait for Lamar to goal with 615 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 4: I mean Lamar, for Lebron to go away. He can't 616 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 4: wait for him to move on. Whereas I'm saying, dude, 617 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 4: I don't care what you think. He's sticking around for Bryce. 618 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 4: At this point, Lebron is blazing trails. He knows rings. 619 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 4: I can't catch Jordan, so I have to do things. 620 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 3: Jordan. 621 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 4: I have won a championship now for three different franchises. 622 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 4: I've won in each conference. You know what I mean. 623 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 4: I'm the points leader. I've spoken up on things that 624 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 4: mattered in the community. And then you know for black 625 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 4: folks that maybe Jordan didn't do. He's finding all these 626 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 4: different ways to try to lead him. And one of 627 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 4: them he can say, I didn't just play with my son, 628 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 4: which is crazy enough. I played with them on the 629 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 4: same team, and I might play with my other son 630 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 4: on the same team or potentially it is not crazy, Scoop, 631 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 4: all three of them play together. The Lakers have what 632 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 4: one more year with with with the Browny. 633 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 7: It's a three year deal. I'm not mistaken. 634 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,239 Speaker 3: Two year, it's a four okay, four year deal. 635 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 4: Okay, but if he plays with both sons, I mean, 636 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 4: maybe Bryce separately and can say check check out played well. 637 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 4: But I mean again, he's doing he checking boxes that 638 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 4: it's crazy. I think that's his last motivation. And sure 639 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 4: if I accidentally want to win a title on the team. Great, 640 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 4: I think is more motivation is at this point play 641 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 4: with Bryce and I'm done. 642 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 7: I think the great big d small set it best. 643 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 7: Not only am I the client, I'm the player president. 644 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 7: He's done it his way. Seriously, like all joking aside, 645 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 7: I get that reference, but in all actuality, I think 646 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 7: you really saw Lebron when he was taking shorter deals 647 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 7: all the way back to his first in Cleveland, Like 648 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 7: he's always been calculated on yes terms, and so he 649 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 7: has a track working with that. Like Lebron is not 650 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 7: that hard to figure out usually, like you know when 651 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 7: he's getting ready to leave, or you know when something 652 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 7: is that the tide is about the shift, Like you 653 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 7: knew in that last year in Miami it was coming. 654 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 7: You knew that last year in Cleveland it was coming. 655 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 7: Because that's the while typically Lebron playing on a team 656 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 7: it lasts about three to four years, the Lakers is 657 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 7: the longest tenure. A lot of people scratching their head 658 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 7: and like what's next, and Luca being there is kind 659 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 7: of the riding on the wall in a way that 660 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 7: you've never really seen before. But I think being a 661 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 7: player for hire that's still healthy. I think that's genius 662 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 7: to be able to crash and have a deal that 663 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 7: is termed on your urns. I mean, Michael on the 664 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 7: Wizards wasn't even that calculated. 665 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 5: Right, No, Bron, you know it's crazy. My whole thing 666 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 5: was finish it out in LA. Obviously it didn't go. 667 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 5: I think it's been underwhelming this time in La. 668 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: Right. 669 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 5: Obviously they got the Bubble Championship, but people expected more. 670 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 5: They expected a couple of rings from Lebron here in 671 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 5: LA that didn't happen. 672 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 7: I think they didn't. Slippers did, that's. 673 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 3: For sure, but I don't. 674 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 5: I think they were expecting one more from the Lakers 675 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 5: at least. But in my mind, I see like a 676 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 5: fairy tale ending happening with him, and I think it 677 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 5: would be one of those things that would actually be 678 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 5: a good story for Lebron to finish his career, to 679 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 5: go back to Cleveland one more time with the team 680 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 5: that has a chance to win in the East. 681 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 3: It's wide open. I think about that scenario a lot. 682 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 7: Listen, Lebron leaving Cleveland both times made the team better. 683 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 7: If you remember when he left the first time, Yeah, 684 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 7: he said he went to the Miami Heat. They got 685 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 7: Tristan Thompson and Kyrie in the draft, and then they 686 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 7: he leaves Cleveland again and they end up later on 687 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 7: getting Donovan Mitchell twisted, Thompson comes back and you know, 688 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 7: you got a competitive team, and so for Lebron to 689 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 7: come back again and to win it all. I've always 690 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 7: looked at that as a storybook ending in a way 691 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 7: comparatively that Iverson did not have that same return in 692 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 7: Philadelphia comparatively, or you know you you even like to 693 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 7: see later on in his career Damian Lillards have a 694 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 7: similar ending like that. Like, I think certain people just 695 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 7: deserve that ending and they have that relationship with the community. 696 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 7: I'd ultimately like to see that in Cleveland with Bryce. 697 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 4: Here's the problem though, and we got to we're up 698 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 4: against it, so we got to know ended here. But 699 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 4: I think the issue with that is if this were 700 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 4: the Cavs with those Kyrie years when Lebron left and 701 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 4: they were just struggling and they didn't have anything cool, 702 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 4: it looks great, we'll get extra fans, butts and seats 703 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 4: and sell some merchandise. Right this team is actually competing 704 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 4: and with the way the East to set up right now. 705 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 4: I don't think you want to mess up the chemistry 706 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 4: and what you're trying to build, right because that okay, 707 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 4: in order to get them, we gotta trade, we gotta 708 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 4: do this, and what if you get and you mess 709 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 4: around and okay, we did that for one year. Now 710 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 4: we're all jacked up for another decade. And so I 711 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 4: think for go ahead, Scoop. 712 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 7: Which is why I think Dallas is more of a 713 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 7: perfect fit. 714 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 4: If not, well, I'm listening, I'm sitting next to Carry 715 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 4: and every time you say it, Carrie starts twitching. 716 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 3: So he don't like hearing that. 717 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 4: Man, Scoot, appreciate you as always, Brandon, Scooby Robbins, make 718 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 4: sure you get him.

You say, man, this is the one 814 00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 4: I pay attention to the most. It's the most exciting 815 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 4: for you. No, it isn't and suspense me day. 816 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 5: No, I'm gonna tell you though, I'm gonna tell you 817 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 5: why cale because it's one of those things where it 818 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 5: is a skill set. I actually really care about the 819 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 5: All Star Game the game because number one, it's a 820 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 5: game and it's an exhibition, but it's also skill on skill. Right, 821 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 5: I'm the I'm the best pitcher in the league. I'm 822 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 5: going to strike out Aaron Judge, the best hitter in 823 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 5: the league. Like, there's still some competition, competition energy there 824 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 5: in that game that makes it fun. The home run 825 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 5: derby back in the day epic. Now it just doesn't 826 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 5: have that same flare for me. I think if I 827 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 5: was Rob Manford, i'd say why Yeah, I would say 828 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 5: because number one, the top guys always always did it. 829 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 5: That's not that contest exact, No, it's similar, right, So 830 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 5: like the top guys always did it, Now that's not 831 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 5: the case. And I think we've also seen that in 832 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 5: the home run Derby. It affects those hitters when they 833 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 5: come back after all. True, Oh they don't do it. 834 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 5: It's not the same to me. 835 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 4: All that swing and yet the answer for me is no, 836 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 4: and not in the sense that it's boring. It's just 837 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,879 Speaker 4: it doesn't really resonate were When you get a great 838 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,399 Speaker 4: dunk contest, you'll remember forever, remember that one, Dominique Jordan, 839 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 4: I remember both of them. Oh remember Vince Carters was crazy? 840 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 4: Remember Aaron Gordon? And and uh and who I miss 841 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 4: Blake no no e, Zach Levine twice. Yes, that's right, 842 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 4: Lake Griffin jumping over Kia. You know, you can go 843 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 4: on and on and on. So to me, when you 844 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 4: get a great dunk contest, that's the one. To me, 845 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,879 Speaker 4: now we surely ain't had one in a little bit. 846 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 4: Is clinging to all of these zac on titles. Zach Now, 847 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,879 Speaker 4: we got job, we got we got Zach. All these 848 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,760 Speaker 4: guys saying they're gonna do it in Zion. 849 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 3: You know what I say. They're lying, They're lyon. They 850 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 3: ain't doing it.
