00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: you know that, I know?

165
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 5: Okay what there's a tag on it.

166
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: It's not like it's huge or anything or I got

167
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: it from the hold from the downside.

168
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 5: I love it. Listen.

169
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: It may or may not have been in a mattress

170
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: bag this past weekend. It made it bit nice, rob

171
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter because a gift is a gift.

172
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful gift.

173
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 5: All right, it is thank you, Rob Alex.

174
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: It looks great on you and you and Rob G.

175
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: Right away you go somewhere else.

176
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: Anything, anything, whatever, Alright, I didn't say anything.

177
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 5: Rob G. Cough twice.

178
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: All right, Rob G, don't be coughing. All right, here

179
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 3: we go, rob Gee.

180
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 4: We got breaking news today from the Association.

181
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: Chris Paul is done.

182
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

183
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 6: I don't know if this is breaking news because he's

184
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 6: kind of been done for a few months now at

185
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 6: this point, but it is official. Like a referee with

186
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 6: the whistle. Chris Paul has retired from the NBA after

187
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 6: twenty one seasons. He was famously sent home by the

188
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 6: Los Angeles Clippers at the end of last year because

189
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 6: he was beefing with Tylo wasn't speaking to him. They

190
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 6: had just had enough to hear with him, so they

191
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 6: sent him home. They traded him unceremoniously to the Raptors

192
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 6: about a week and a half ago. The Raptors tried

193
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 6: to reroute him. They couldn't, so they waived him and

194
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 6: then Chris Paul was like, you know what, rather than

195
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 6: hang on for whatever last twenty five games of the season.

196
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 6: Let me just call it a career CP three, the

197
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 6: point guard retired.

198
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: And Kelvin At this point, there's waves of going out

199
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 4: twenty one years in the NBA, and you know, we

200
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 4: always talk about it, is it good luck or good

201
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 4: riddance for Chris Paul?

202
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 3: I think is good riddance? Stuck around too long?

203
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 4: The way he was dumped in a place that you know,

204
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 4: this lob city, and he had all this love. He

205
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 4: was coming back to go out a certain way right

206
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: and have people feel good about him and all that.

207
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: He lost that because.

208
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: Of whatever shenanigans that he did with the Clippers to

209
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 4: turn people off to him. And I'm just being honest.

210
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 4: I've covered the league for a long time. We know

211
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 4: what a player he is, but he rubbed people the

212
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 4: wrong way along the way. And that's a long road

213
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 4: twenty one NBA seasons. And what happens is people put

214
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 4: up with a lot of stuff when you can play

215
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 4: and make a difference, right as soon as you can't

216
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 4: do that, those days are over. People aren't going to

217
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 4: put up with the rubbing people the wrong way, treating

218
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: people a certain way and whatnot. And I think that's

219
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 4: why the Clippers the middle of the night did to

220
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 4: fly in, remember that, right the middle of the night,

221
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 4: to tell him to pack his bags and get out

222
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 4: of here. I mean that that speaks volume, especially for

223
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 4: a guy who played in the organization for a long time,

224
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 4: had some success. Put that organization with lob City on

225
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 4: the map in NBA America, and that's the way it ended.

226
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: So that that's on. Chris Paul.

227
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: I put it like this, Chris Paul is, let's say

228
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: he had twenty one years. I'm gonna split it up

229
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: in a twenty. Let's say it's ten and ten. He's

230
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: the most interesting of his peers, if you will. And

231
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: that Lebron, we already know he's number one, number two,

232
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: number three wherever you played him.

233
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 5: But we already know his greatness.

234
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: You already, Steph, We already say the great greatest shooter

235
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: of all time, one of the best players. Like you

236
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: kind of know, steps He got a bunch of rings,

237
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: You kind of know where he is, so on and

238
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: so forth. Dwayne Wade's got a few rings. You kind

239
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: of can place people in certain places. Chris Paul The

240
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: reason why Rob Gjus said, point god, because he was

241
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: the first person we started to call the point god. Right,

242
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: you had magic, you heard now long time, you get

243
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: other great point guards, but he was the one. We

244
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: really started to say that with He was the first

245
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: ten years. He couldn't be more lovable. Right, he's the

246
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: small guy that's playing great in New Orleans and in

247
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: turn Oklahoma City because they had you know, all the

248
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: whole the Hurricane Katrina, so on and so forth. Then

249
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: he's the guy that comes to Love City and he's

250
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: they're great, they're fun, they're entertaining, they're a sexy pick

251
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: four handful of seasons to win it all. He asked

252
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: one of the best campaigns for an athlete commercial wise,

253
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: with the Cliff Paul and the State farms. So he's

254
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: just he's that guy. It's parential all start. He's finishing

255
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: in the top three for MVP a couple of times,

256
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: and you're like, wow, he's that guy. One thing started

257
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: to change when he and that Clove City team started

258
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: to fail in the postseason, and.

259
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 5: Not just fail like all we couldn't get it done,

260
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 5: but collapse. Right.

261
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: They started to give up leeds and series, they started

262
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: to have epic choke jobs.

263
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 5: Things started to change about him then the last ten years.

264
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: To your point, it went from lovable Cliff Chris and

265
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: Cliff Paul love cities commercials, one of the best passers

266
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: in the league, one of the best players, to man,

267
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: do they choke many's?

268
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 5: He always injured? Man, they always come up short. Man.

269
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: He became a journey man. Dang, he's a dirty player.

270
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: Man doesn't get along with his teammates. I wonder why

271
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: he's always leaving these places. And it's just been interesting

272
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: to see the two split. Like I said, if you

273
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: go the first ten or so years, in the last

274
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: ten or so years of Chris Paul, it has been

275
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: remarkable to witness. And he's been spectacular. He ranks number

276
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: two off time in both assists and steals. He's the

277
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: first player with twenty thousand points ten thousand assists.

278
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 5: And he's just had a very decorated career.

279
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: But for me to see him go from just loved

280
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: and respected and one of the right up there with

281
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: his peers and the Lebron the d Wades, the you

282
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: know those guys kds to now kind of becoming that

283
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: afterthought has been shocking to me.

284
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 5: He was one of my favorite players to watch.

285
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: He always made teams better, but they're alway to your point,

286
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: would be some weird riff with teams. It seemed at

287
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: the end like it would start off good, they win,

288
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: they'd be successful, then it would end badly. So I

289
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: think as time gets away, will be more reflective on

290
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: his career and how great he was. But it is

291
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: really odd to me, Rob He's one of those just

292
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: rare players where you can see the divide.

293
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 5: And I also wonder you covered the league.

294
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: This was a big, huge thing, one of the great

295
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: what would have beens of all time.

296
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 5: In the NBA.

297
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: If David Stern okay that trade and as I've never

298
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: seen before him block a trade, and if he would

299
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: have paired up in teamdo with Kobe, how that might

300
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: have changed the trajectory of his career.

301
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you also got to remember the league owned

302
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 4: the team at the time. That was the only asset

303
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 4: of the team.

304
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 5: I no, no, I don't.

305
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: I mean, he didn't do it just to do it.

306
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 5: But I'm just saying.

307
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: But I mean, if I told you I'm giving you

308
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: Pole Gasol Hall of Famer, Lamar Odelman six Man of

309
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: the Year.

310
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 5: Excuse me, you think you'd be all right with that?

311
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: So it's just interesting how it all ended up for

312
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: Chris Paul versus where it started.

313
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: Good luck of good ridds, Where are you? Good luck?

314
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 5: Excuse me? Good luck? All right?

315
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 4: Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. I just think

316
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 4: the way it ended. Remember, everybody was ready to crown

317
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 4: Chris Paul when they were up two to zero in

318
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 4: the NBA Finals, the Sons and the Bucks. They never

319
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: won another game. That kind of also changed the way

320
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 4: people looked at him because they were doing the coronation.

321
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 4: It was all about Chris Paul and how great he

322
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 4: was and looking it is. He finally passed Isaiah Thomas

323
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 4: and all these other people they were talking about, and

324
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 4: I think that went I just think the way he

325
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 4: went out.

326
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: There was no way.

327
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 4: Chris Paul should have gone out that way with the Clippers,

328
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 4: which tells you that that that that says a lot

329
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 4: to me.

330
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:47,840

Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying.

401
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: And I just I think it's a part of the history.

402
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 4: Don't get me wrong, not saying you totally forget them,

403

404
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 3: People move in, new people move on.

405
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 4: Howard coach Sell used to be the greatest sportscast in

406
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 4: this country. Nobody mentions him unless you're talking about a

407
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 4: history lesson about something, you know what I mean? And

408
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: I think that the bad part about Chris Paul is

409
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 4: just the way it ended.

410
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 3: I'm dead serious when you think about it, when you think.

411
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 4: About the Clippers having to come on the road and

412
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 4: get on a plane to come tell him to come home.

413
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: What I don't think he was ever able Rob to

414
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: change that little bit of him, right, that grind so

415
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: hard on teams, and it's hard, and it's abrasive, and

416
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: it's if you don't you see.

417
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 5: The game as I see it.

418
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: Don't you see how this is a And I think

419
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: that little awe starts off.

420
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 4: I bet you if somebody can tell him to do

421
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 4: it all over again, he might, you know what I mean, because.

422
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 5: It's a weird thing.

423
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: It's that same chip that got him there, because he's

424
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: six or nothing, you know, and it's probably that same

425
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: grit and thing that got him there. It's the same

426
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: thing that probably wore down teammates and teams.

427
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 4: All right, Jack and Vermont, you're on the couple of

428

00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 4: food and drink, not that much eye candy around.

440
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: It was a that's interesting at catch, like that's that's

441
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: kind of the thing there.

442
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was like it was a thing for

443
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 3: a like trading cards, you.

444
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:30,240

Speaker 3: way more.

447
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 5: Than we didn't tell us that part yesterday.

448
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: I didn't know what it was good.

449
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 4: I just knew it was I knew it was free

450
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 4: food and drinks and eBay was involved, so I figured

451
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 4: it would be good. And Jack the filet mignon was outstanding,

452
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,960

00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, and then you know, for him to go

458
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 4: out like this, nobody thought think about this after all that.

459
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 4: Nobody thought, well, we might be able to use a

460
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 4: veteran point guard, do you know what I mean, Like

461
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 4: in a playoff run. Oh, he's like a coach on

462
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 4: the court, or we only need six minutes or eight

463
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 4: minutes out of him off. No nobody, no nobody.

464
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 5: We talked about it.

465
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: What he would do to your locker room. And you're

466
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: trying to build a culture in young guys. He might

467
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: be too much, too abrasive, too you know, don't you

468
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: get it? Why don't you get it?

469
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 5: This? How you gotta do it? And it's like they

470
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 5: don't need that.

471
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: It was the living worth the squeeze at this point, Rob,

472
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying. He Kevin, he comes to

473
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: a team, he's too much. He's trying to out coach

474
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: the coaches, trying to do this, and he's not providing

475
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: any greatness on the court. I could see people being like, nah,

476
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: it's not worth it. It's not worth all that. So

477
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,920

00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: of something, Rob, and it might be time for us

489
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: got a triple double last night. He's now the oldest

490
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: player to record a triple double. But he also had

491
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: some thoughts of course, when they asked him all about it.

492
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 5: After the game.

493
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 6: Yes he did. And you know, Lebron James is never

494
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 6: shy about talking about himself, you know that, And if

495
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 6: you give him the opportunity, he'll mention about how great

496
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 6: he is and all the work he puts in and

497
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 6: all his place in history and so on and so

498
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 6: forth and all.

499
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 3: The hall of fame. Well you com all, Lebron on me.

500
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 6: Well, both of y'all cut, But yes, yesterday you mentioned it.

501
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 6: They asked Lebron after his historic triple double about, you know,

502
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 6: his career and the idea that he's laid in his

503
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 6: career and how long he can con see himself doing this,

504
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 6: because you know, having a forty one year old getting

505
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 6: a triple double is no small feet.

506
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 2: Take a hend to Lebron, I'm a goofy ass forty

507
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 2: one year old kid. I think people should know that

508
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: by now right, my game is not going anywhere. It's

509
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 2: just it's my body. There's so many more factors that

510
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: come with how long will I play the game.

511
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 5: I don't think my game will ever.

512
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,239
Speaker 2: Suffer if I decided to continue to go how long

513
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 2: highever long that is?

514
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 5: I just think it's like it has to be here.

515
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 2: How long can I stay and like in love with

516
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,719
Speaker 2: the process, because that's always been my thing. If I

517
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: can't continue to stay in love with the process, then

518
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 2: if this goes, then my body's going to go. Then

519
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: once my body goes there, it's a wrap, you know,

520
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: then the love goes and then the fund and all

521
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: that stuff go. So that's what it is. It's not like,

522
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 2: you know, my game is deteriorating or whatever the case

523
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 2: that be.

524
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 3: Go ahead, go ahead, Lebron.

525
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 5: God, Yeah, I think his game is deteriorating.

526
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: But that's okay. Like, I don't think that's a slide

527
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: on him. I don't think it's a knock to say

528
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: that his game is deteriorating. It's specifically in sports, as

529
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: you age your game deteriorates. And what I think he's

530
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: also not equating is your physical equition, your physical body.

531
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, well, you know, physically, that's a massive

532
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: part of your game, right If you can't blow by

533
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: and Lebron is you know, he's still really good. And

534
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: that's a credit to his talent and where he places

535
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: in the all time rankings. But his physical ability is deteriorating,

536
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: which ultimately affects his game. Rob Like, he can't play

537
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: big minutes like he used to. He can't play defense.

538
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: He hasn't played defense in years, and that's a part

539
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: of his game because at one point.

540
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 5: Remember he was in the running for Defensive Player of

541
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 5: the Year. It wouldn't be.

542
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 4: Nice if somebody said to him while he was doing

543
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 4: all that chest beating, what about on a defensive ent,

544
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 4: has your game not changed at all?

545
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 5: Like? Right, And that's the.

546
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: Question, And that's a part of your game and that

547
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: I can't depend on you, but now you have Yeah,

548
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: he has periods, okay for you know, three four possessions

549
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: I can lock in.

550
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 5: But Lebron historic leaf.

551
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: He's played twenty three years for the first fifteen I

552
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: could depend on him on both sides.

553
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 5: Of the ball.

554
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: Also back to backs, Rob, that's a part of it,

555
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: you know, like he has to not play back to

556
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: backs or has to take nights off. That's a part

557
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: of your game deteriorating and your physical because you can't

558
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: do certain things.

559
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 4: But those are those questions that could have been asked

560
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,479
Speaker 4: or at least like I wasn't there out of here

561
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 4: all of interviewing, But those are the things that it's

562
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 4: okay to say that or you think so. But if

563
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 4: you ask him, ask him to dig a little bit deeper,

564
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 4: that's all. It's not a I'm not challenging you or

565
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 4: telling you you're a liar or anything. I'm just asking

566
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 4: you defensively. You think your game hasn't changed at all?

567
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 4: Is it different you don't play back to backs all

568
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 4: the time? Is that a part of why you're still

569
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 4: able to do this? And if you were playing a

570
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 4: regular schedule right with back to backs and playing every

571
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 4: night like you used to, would that be different for you?

572
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 4: You know, like there's a lot of things afforded. And

573
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 4: the other part is all the European players have all

574
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 4: said it's easy to score in the NBA, am I right,

575
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 4: that's oh.

576
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 5: They often because it's an adjustment from them.

577
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: They come here and they're like, this is physicality in

578
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: European basketball is crazy.

579
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 5: It's brutal rules.

580
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: Then what they allow, the way you can tip shots

581
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: off the ball during FEBA and all that, Like, there's

582
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that makes it more challenging. So yeah,

583
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: I get what he's saying that on a random night,

584
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday night in the NBA, even with Luco

585
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: on the court, there are a nice Lebron could be

586
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: the best player depending on no matter the two teams

587
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: that are playing, because Lebron is still he's still that good.

588
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: And also the current NBA has changed because if he

589
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: had back in the day, the kg's and the you know,

590
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: the defenders, the Robbins are the guys who would be

591
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: Tayshaun Prince's of the.

592
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 5: World, like, it would make it a lot harder on them.

593
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: But the current NBA, where guys are coming in so

594
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: young regularly one and done's that you could take advantage

595
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: of them because they don't quite know the game. The

596
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: rules are called differently, it's space style differently. Yes, Lebron

597
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: is going to be able to play to what he's

598
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: trying to allude to he could technically play another three

599
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: years and be you know, the second, third, fourth best team.

600
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 3: Play, but not on a team that's winning anything.

601
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: You know what I like, that's what I would mean

602
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: out of you you can't give me. I might need

603
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: forty five minutes out of you tonight, and I need

604
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: that forty five minutes to be high caliber on both

605
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: ends of the floor, locking up, And that's what he

606
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: can't give you, right, And that's okay, like that just

607
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: where we are right now. So the idea that oh,

608
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: it's nothing to it if my game won't change, No,

609
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: your game has slowed down a little bit, and and

610
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: that's expected of someone who's played.

611
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 3: One's saying that right right, Like that not.

612
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: Mentioned all the extra season between the playoffs and Olympics.

613
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: So that's it's called human nature. And you've avoided by

614
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: the time longer than anybody we've ever seen. So you know,

615
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: that's the kudos to him for that.

616
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 3: No doubt, I get it.

617
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 4: You know, like people look at numbers sometimes and it's

618
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 4: just it's you gotta have it's got to be a

619
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 4: context to it.

620
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 3: Is that fair?

621
00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 5: One hundred percent?

622
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

623
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 3: If you just look at oh.

624
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 4: Wow, look at Lebron averaging all these points this late

625
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 4: in his career, No one's ever did it. The oldest

626
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 4: gut to be a troupe. No one's played twenty three years,

627
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like like, of course he's

628
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 4: gonna have all the records for being an old man.

629
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,959
Speaker 3: No one's played that long. And that's and that's fine.

630
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,239
Speaker 4: I mean, I just I think for Lebron to be

631
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 4: in the spot or how about the question of, well,

632
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 4: your game hasn't deteriorated at all?

633
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 3: How shocked that you?

634
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 4: How shocked are you that you could play with a

635
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 4: player like Luca and you say your team has no

636
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 4: shot to win in the NBA? How about that one?

637
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 4: Is that a question like in the old days you

638
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 4: had two players. I'm telling you, got Luca and Lebron.

639
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 4: People want to see you two. You're scoring twenty five

640
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 4: points a game at forty one years old. Forty years old?

641
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 4: What oh, yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

642
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and not to mention too, also say you know,

643
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: his his game has deteriorated, deteriorated a bit to where

644
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: we're celebrating a triple double for him.

645
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 5: Two nights before the All Star Game. He got his

646
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 5: first of the year.

647
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: What do you think he would be at back in

648
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: his prime, Rob, like fifteen by now sixteen That's that's

649
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: another one. That's an example to me that we're celebrating,

650
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: which is a great accomplishment, But your first triple double

651
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: of the year, historically this would have been your you know,

652
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: somewhere in between ten and twenty twentieth of the year

653
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: by now and his prime.

654
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 5: So but I just think.

655
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be really difficult, this this ending,

656
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: because what does Lebron want the ending to be?

657
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 5: Rob?

658
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: Does he want it to be where on my terms?

659
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: Meaning all right, you all celebrate me, you give me

660
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: the farewell, which if that's what he wanted, the league

661
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: wants to do it, Hey, okay, twenty three years.

662
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 3: Well he's got a patch, only he's wearing none of

663
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 3: the patch. None of it makes all of that.

664
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 4: I know he wants to give up smoking, but I

665
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 4: just don't understand why it's on his uniform.

666
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 5: Does he want to go back to Cleveland for the.

667
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 3: Cleveland want him back?

668
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: I mean, like, like I'm just curious, Rob, you know, like,

669
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: how is this gonna Like you knew how, you didn't

670
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: know when, but you knew it was ending.

671
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 5: For Kobe with the Lakers.

672
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying, Like you knew, like the

673
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: Lakers were gonna go down with Kobe, even if they

674
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: probably should have got rid of him three four years

675
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: ago prior, but they felt indebted to him.

676
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 5: And that's just the way they know.

677
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 4: The last six years, if so weren't good, they work exactly.

678
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 3: Nobody wanted to go.

679
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 4: Play with Kobe and nobody remember, they couldn't get anybody

680
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 4: to come here.

681
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: He couldn't get free agents, he was old, he was

682
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: very expensive, he was broken down. But that's what the

683
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: Lakers are gonna do. They felt we owe it to him.

684
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: He's been our guy, so you knew.

685
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 4: The only thing is I just you know, with new ownership,

686
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 4: I'm not so sure and Lebron's going to get what

687
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 4: he wanted, you know what I mean, his Hollywood ending,

688
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 4: I'm not so sure it's going to be like that.

689
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 4: I really think it'll be elsewhere because if.

690
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 5: Your league's gone too yeah yeah, if you're.

691
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 4: The Lakers and your new ownership and they didn't give

692
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 4: him an extension, which got him, you know, Pete pissed off,

693
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 4: ye right, I mean, if he was like, oh, you're

694
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 4: going to stay here as long as you want. He

695
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 4: would have gotten the extension whatever. And this is really

696
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 4: where they're like, no, we're not giving you an extension.

697
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 4: We got new ownership, shrewd new ownership. They don't mind,

698
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 4: they don't do that. We know that.

699
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 5: But they're very wise. They know what they do.

700
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: They let Corey Seeger go, you know, they they'll they'll

701
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: let Cody Bellinger go, and they you know, because they

702
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: are of course, the owners are the Dodgers as well.

703
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: They'll make those moves that you're like, oh wow. They'll

704
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: sign big guys like they're trying to win. And if

705
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: they feel like we love him, he's great, all time great,

706
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: we love what he did for the league, but we

707
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: got to move on. They'll do that and they won't

708
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: necessarily kiss your butt. We don't owe you that. We're

709
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: new you know, we're not Jenie and made these deals

710
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: with you. So it's going to be really interesting. Rob

711
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: does he go out one more splash with New York

712
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: like I want to. I always wanted to play with

713
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: the Knicks. I'm gonna try it with the Knicks, you

714
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Some I always want to play

715
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: with Steph. I'm gonna try one year with Steph or

716
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: does he just go back home one year to Cleveland

717
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: so I can retire with Cleveland technically, get the you know,

718
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: the jersey and the banner and give it one more shot.

719
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 4: I just I would question teams, you know what I mean,

720
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 4: if you got something going and you think you have

721
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 4: a chance to win, that you would do that, you

722
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,479
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like like it could mess up

723
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 4: the whole chemistry. I don't disagree with him not coming

724
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 4: off the bench as an eighth man, you know what

725
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 4: I mean.

726
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 1: Like what I don't disagree And that's the risk you take.

727
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: So if you're Cleveland, you know, are you.

728
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 3: Saying unless you think you can't win, you know what

729
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 3: I mean?

730
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 4: And it's just we we just if we really can't

731
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 4: win with what we have here and we just want

732
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 4: to make it a ceremony with Lebron and milk that

733
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 4: and sell some more jerseys and all that time.

734
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: Like yeah, for a team like Cleveland, I think it

735
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: is the opposite that, hey, Lebron, we actually got something.

736
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: You know, we're relatively good, maybe you can say underachieving,

737
00:31:59,080 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 1: but relatively good.

738
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 5: Good. Can you come here on a minimum, No, no

739
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 5: dances already.

740
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 4: I just you really think so I'm out. I'm saying

741
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 4: that's come as a minimum. Man, you're in the rotation, but.

742
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 5: We can't rotation.

743
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 3: We can't guarantee. We can't guarantee you where.

744
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 5: We don't know the minutes.

745
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,479
Speaker 1: We just know we want you because obviously you've given us.

746
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: Twenty minutes is better than eighty percent of the league.

747
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: So twenty minutes, you know, six, seven, eight, nine, whatever

748
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: the minimum, you know, mid level, exception, whatever is. Come

749
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: try one more time at home at the crib. See

750
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: if you're going to ship. That's the pitch to Cleveland.

751
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: We got our guy in Donovan, we got if everything

752
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: remained to say mobile and we you know, we've got

753
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: pieces around here, Allen. So we just want you to

754
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: be a part of this and so you can be

755
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: home and be great for us, be great for you,

756
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: but we're not. This isn't your team like we're not.

757
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: It's still Donovan Mitchell's team. That's that's the seal. I'm

758
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: not saying he accept it, but that would be the sale.

759
00:32:58,480 --> 00:32:59,960

916
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 4: The last couple. It's amazing. We had so little buzz

917
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,439
Speaker 4: on the Super Bowl. No, no buzz on this. It's

918
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,479
Speaker 4: just and Rob g and I talked about a little

919
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 4: bit earlier pre show and it's not like there've been

920
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 4: buzzes about other things in sports. Right last year, I know,

921
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 4: my homes and you know, trying to three peede and

922
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 4: you know, and other things like that. But this year

923
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 4: has been really, really weird with so little buzz and

924
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 4: this is two weeks in a lot attend.

925
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 5: To the culture.

926
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: In my opinion, Rob, it used to be connected to

927
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: the culture, like NBA and hip hop was at its

928
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: peak and his bag.

929
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 3: I thought it used to be called the Black super Bowl,

930
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 3: the NBA All.

931
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: Star Black Barti Gras, and it used to just be

932
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: in so much of the culture together and intertwine and that.

933
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: He's like, you had to be there in sports and

934
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: media and entertainment, and it's just not quite there anymore.

935
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, these dag on devices that were on

936
00:39:58,320 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: everything else is at your disposal.

937
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 5: You get it right here. So it's like, I don't

938
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 5: need that.

939
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 1: The urgency and everything is gone, Rob, No more urgency,
