You started the show. You wouldn't even 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:09.440 talk to me. I was like, you good to go to. 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.000 YO that they'll maybe there are other things going on 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.319 in my life? Well, oh what's about you, mister Nick? 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.920 Okay, well you know what. Guess what the forty five 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.360 minutes twice a week when we do this kind of 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.679 is hey, I need you. You think you don't think? 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:28.160 There are days that I walk downstairs and I and 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.680 I'm either irritated with one of your little sisters, maybe 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.319 even you. Maybe your mom's gotten mad at me for something. 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.440 I don't sit in the seat before the TV show, 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:52.280 I'm all right, welcome in. It is episode twenty two 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:54.880 of What's Right with Nick right in the podcasting and 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.160 YouTube show. Unlike episode twenty one, we are not recording 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.960 this this show through a string in a cup. We 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.360 are back online fully and unlike any of the previous 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.120 twenty one episodes, we have a brand new microphone. So 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.560 these takes should be crystal clear, even more so than always. 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.600 So all that's good. Also reminder, check out the weekly 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.720 series fifty Garys players the last fifty years. The one 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.320 that comes out this coming Sunday will be the most controversial, 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.280 but I feel better about it than even when I 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.800 recorded it a few days ago. One serious note, we 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:32.320 are recording this one day after the massacre in Texas. 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:37.280 I am going to use the final segment of today's 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.320 show to talk about that. Some of what I say 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.080 will come across as political, and some of what I 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.840 say will simply be a parntal plea for some level 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.400 of sanity. If you are coming to this show as 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.880 an escape, or if you fear you're like I really 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.280 like Nick, but if I hear what I think he's 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.480 going to say about guns in this country, I'm gonna 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.120 hate him. If I find out his political opinion than me, 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.440 I won't be able to listen to him anymore. Then 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.200 just into the podcast or the YouTube show however you're 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.800 consuming it. After our second segment, the third segment, though, 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.040 we will be discussing that it's where my head is 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.160 right now, it's where my heart is right now. However, 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.400 we are here to provide an escape for many of 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.400 you and to talk about the sports news of the day. 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.320 So that is what we will do for the first 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.560 two segments of today's show. As always, we start the 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.440 show by telling you what we're not talking about. Here's 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.960 what did not make today's show in any way, shape 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:38.200 or form. Eastern Conference Finals Game five, because, as it happens, 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.720 that game has not yet happened, even though you are 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:45.280 consuming this after has happened. Brady hitting some ducks to Gronk. 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.800 Gronk shagging balls for Brady the left handed swing did, 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:53.080 wasn't that impressive with it? And the rural Virginia Commanders 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:57.040 as the former Washington football team now the Washington Commanders 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:01.480 might be moving outside of Washington, DC entirely, none of 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.000 that is on the show. Demonse will tell us what 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.680 is on the show. I hope I know what we're 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.160 starting with, but I don't know what we're starting with. 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.280 What are we starting with, Demanse. 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.320 How could we not? The MAVs avoided the broom Tuesday night? 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:15.960 Oh they sure did, didn't they? 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.320 Yep? Definitely helped that they finally started hitting the threes. Yeah, 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.400 but no team has ever come back from a three 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.880 tozero deficit in the NBA history. So if you think 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.840 that Luca can be the guy to do it. I 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:29.680 think it's probably time to make another bet. 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.799 Oh well, I'm not the first of there's a number 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.720 of things here. First of all, I've made plenty I 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:40.640 already have plenty of actual bets involving the Mavericks making 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.880 the finals and winning the finals. I'm what we would 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.240 call pop committed to that. I don't there's unless you 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.960 are going to give me outrageous odds. And by the way, 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.320 I don't even want to make this bet with you 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.039 because you're rooting for the Mavericks. I know you want 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.040 to root against me, but in this series, I've watched 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.200 the games with you. You're rooting for the Mavericks. You 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.479 don't like Draymond, you don't like the Warriors. So no bet, 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.960 there is no bet. That's first of all. Second of all, 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.840 I'm so sick of hearing people talk about three to zero. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.039 It's not three to zero anymore. It's three to one. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.920 And thirteen teams have come back from down three to one, 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.360 and the Warriors have blown a three to one league. 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:18.040 And here's the other thing. All the analysis of Game 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.440 four has been exactly what you said. Oh, the MAVs 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.000 finally hit their threes. Yes, that happened. But the other 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:28.400 thing that happened is they held the Warriors to seventy 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:32.920 points through three quarters. So the defense was outstanding as well. 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.320 Now do they have a major uphill battle? What go ahead? 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.920 Kind of reminds me of that game? Kind of reminded 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.360 me of another game. What game earlier in the playoffs? 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:46.320 What game was it? Game five of Grizzlies Warriors. I 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.360 knew you were going to say that when they came 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.360 and scored fifty points. I think they had fifty two 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.599 minutes into the third quarter of that game. It was 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:54.520 very clear. 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.640 The Grizzlies led by fifty in that game. 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:58.839 It was just very clear that they did not give 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.000 a damn about winning that game. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.920 Okay, that might be true, however, I think that is 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.000 And by the way, good job by you. That is 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.680 the exact point Chris Brussard made on the TV show 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.760 this morning. So is your evolution into professional takesman. You're 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.600 now thinking the same way of the actual professional takesman. 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.760 So good job by you. However that is I'm going 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:20.520 to say to you what I said to him. That's 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.480 a terrible example for the Warriors case, which is this 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.800 the next game the Warriors didn't play great. If you 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.839 remember Game six of that series, the Warriors are trailing 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.680 with six minutes left in the fourth quarter, and then 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.120 the Grizzlies self destructive. The Warriors ended up winning by 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.080 fourteen points in that game because the final half of 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.119 the fourth quarter the Warriors fell apart. But I agree 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.320 with you. It did remind me a bit of that game. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.440 But it's like the Warriors came out the very next 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.080 night and totally took care of business on their home 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.960 court the way one were to say the Mavericks on 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.320 the Grizzlies. Lucas the best player in the series. That 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.240 was the Grizzlies without John Morant. And here's what I'm saying. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.880 The Mavericks could have rolled over. The Mavericks could have said, 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.200 one hundred and forty sixteens fen down three to zero, 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.599 they're zero in one hundred and forty six, it's not 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.200 gonna happen, blah blah blah blah blah. But that is 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:14.040 not what they did. Instead, what they did was they 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.200 took the game seriously and now they're in a position 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.040 where they go back to Golden State where they've got 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.840 to believe they can win in Golden State demanse. I 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.960 know they lost Game one. In Game two, but they 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.000 were up nineteen in Game two. They were up fourteen 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.520 at the half, and then they fell apart. And here's 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:38.760 what I will unequivocally say. If the MAVs win Game 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.480 five and then the series goes back to Dallas for 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.360 Game six, the amount of pressure on Steph and the 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:50.880 Warriors will be unimaginable. So no, I'm not ready to 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.440 make another bet. The series should be to two games apiece. 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.920 The Mavericks should have won Game two, I mean, but 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:04.080 they didn't. So they dug themselves a seemingly undiggable outable 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.400 that's not the phraseology. I apologize, hole a too big 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:11.080 of a hole. But they have the best player there is, 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.040 the massive three point shooting variants. All of a sudden, 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:18.480 Kevon Looney wasn't you know, in the best center in 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:22.640 the Western Conference for finally a night. Kevon Looney and 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.400 Andrew Wiggins were a modern name. Mark eaton Karl Malone 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.080 for the first three games of this series. Mark eaton, Yes, 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:33.320 Mark Eaton, one of your favorites. So I'm not I'm 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.760 not going to make another bet for the MAVs to 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.360 really be in good shape it. Obviously you need to 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.199 be too, too. But I'm so sick of people talking 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.680 about three to zero. Three to zero is gone. It's 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.880 in the past. If I were to ask you guess 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.160 the number between one and one thousand, you would have 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.680 a one in one thousand chance. But if I then 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.280 told you the first digit of the number, you would 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.520 have a one in one hundred chance. That's what this 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.840 one was. It went from one in one thousand to 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.400 one in one hundred. Told you the second digit, you 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.920 would then have a one in ten chance. That's what 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:05.880 Game five would be. And then if I told you 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.520 the third digit, you'd have it. You'd have the number. 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.480 That's what Game six would be. They win Game five, 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.880 they're gonna get to win Game six, and then Game 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.120 seven Warriors will fall apart. Mark it down Game five. 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:20.439 Here's the official prediction. Game five is either the Warriors 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:24.160 by twenty or the Mavericks win the series. 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:25.520 I'm rooting for you. 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:27.720 Thank you. I appreciate that. That's why we're not betting 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:29.880 on it. All right, what we have an extended twelve 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.240 minute clock. We spent five minutes on that first topic, 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:33.160 so we gotta go faster. 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.559 What's next we're recording before Game five is Celtics and Heat. 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.720 I'm feeling great about it. Man. Yeah, Celtics bully the 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.720 Heat on Monday. There hasn't been one game where both 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.200 teams played pretty well, but this one kind of felt 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.199 like a turning point. So are you sticking to Heat 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.840 and seven or you finally ready to admit that Celtics 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:51.560 are the better team. 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.080 I don't think the Celtics are the better team. I 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:58.400 am sticking with Heat and seven. However, the only chance 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.640 the Heat have is if Jimmy Butler is close to 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.000 one hundred percent and we the audience will know, So 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:06.560 I don't want to spend ton of time on it here. 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:08.760 The audience will know by the time they hear this, 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:13.880 how Jimmy Butler looks like. Listen, Jimmy Butler played just 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.160 one half of Game three, played Game four, but was 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.160 nothing like himself. Didn't get to the free throw line, 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:24.000 had six or eight points. The Heat struggled too much 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.520 to score to be able to survive Jimmy Butler at 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.360 this level, and by the way, Tyler Hero didn't play 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:33.559 Game four. I do think it's noteworthy that there has 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:37.719 been one half this entire series. The Heat were at 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.760 full strength the first half of Game three. Kyle Lowry 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.960 was back, Hero played, Jimmy Butler played that half, and 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.480 the Heat won that half by fifteen points. I think 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.920 that's noteworthy. Now, I want to give you credit for something. 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.920 You have been big on time Lord on Robert Williams. 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.440 And he is a factor. 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:01.000 Well, it is not lost on me that the only 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.120 game this series that Bam has looked like an All 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.440 NBA center was the one game Robert Williams miss. With 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.320 that said, I wouldn't be shocked if Robert Williams misses 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.719 Game five or miss his Game six. He's been in 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:17.120 out of lineup the entire postseason, so injuries are obviously 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.920 a huge factor here. I'm not gonna use injuries as 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:23.959 an excuse with the caveat of if the best player 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:27.120 on a team gets hurt, that kind of removes the 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.520 pick I picked Grizzlies over at Warriors. Nobody threw that 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.319 in my face because John missed the final three games 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:37.800 of a series. If Giannis had gone down, not Middleton, 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.400 nobody'd be like Nick, you picked Giannis to make the finals. 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.760 If the best player on a team goes down. Now, 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.320 Jimmy Butler is gonna play Game five. I'm sure what's 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.200 he gonna look like. You guys already will know this. 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.040 We're recording a few hours for the game, so we'll 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.160 discuss this more next week, when hopefully we've gotten to 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.480 a seventh game in this series. We'll find out, all right, 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:57.000 what's next? 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.880 Rob Pickens the scene with the next GMS, Rob Polinka, 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:00.920 Rob Pelinka. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:02.880 Dickens, go ahead, You're fine, don't worry about it. 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.920 Rob Polinka was seen with GM with next GM Sean 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.640 Marks at the combine. Yep. Maybe they were discussing your 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:10.880 old Russ Kyrie trade. 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:11.160 Yep. 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.120 And the Lakers' coaching situation was so bad by the 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.600 last show we couldn't even really discuss it. Yeah, seems 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.199 like Legm has his hands full. Uh huh, But what 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.800 would you like to see first? The Russ move or 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:22.520 the Doc move? 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.640 Okay, you know how I wouldn't talk about the Lakers 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.520 on the last show. I'm not telling the Lakers on 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.800 this show either. You guys keep putting the Lakers in 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.839 the show. I am not interested in talking about the 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:38.360 Lakers in their present form. Mad They're still the idea 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.920 that Doc Rivers is even on the list. Doc Rivers 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.360 has a job, and why do you want Doc Rivers? 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.880 And then Phil Jackson advising him to keep Russ. I 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.680 don't like any of it. I don't like that Lebron 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:53.280 James just made his record eighteenth All NBA team and 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.360 he's playing for this franchise that is just a total mess. 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.240 So I'm not you call them GM. You put it 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.880 in the rundown because people expect me to talk Lakers. 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.880 I am not interested in talking Lakers. Next topic. Okay, 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:07.520 well stop putting it in the show. 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.560 Well, you won't enjoy this any much more. But odds 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.560 or the Warriors will win this series by the time 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.720 you record our next show. If Steph win's another title 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.280 with al Katie or a real number two player, it's 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.720 a really big deal. The Warriors will be an all 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:24.200 time dynasty. Steph probably moves up in your top fifty list. 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.520 How much of this? How much is on the line 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.079 in terms of NBA history? If the Warriors win. 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:35.920 Oh well, listen, everything you said there is true. If 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:42.240 they win, it to me moves Steph to a clear 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:47.160 number two player of his generation. It moves him past 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:52.760 Durant and at least for the time being past you honest, because. 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.760 So he's not past Durant right now? Is what's your name? 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.120 I Going into the year, I would have said no. 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:00.840 Going into the year, I would have said because Steph 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:05.800 two years since Durant left, missed the playoffs, missed the playoffs, 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.720 looked like he wasn't gonna make another NBA finals. Durant. 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.360 You know, Steph had more regular season MVPs, Durant had 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.320 the finals MVPs. When they played together, it looked like 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:20.240 Durant was the better player. But if Steph wins a 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:24.640 title before Durant got there and after Durant leaves, the 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.160 fact that Steph, if they make the finals this year, 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.800 will have during this run since Steve Kerr took over, 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:36.960 have never lost before the finals. Since Steve has gotten there, 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.680 they've lost two series. One they lost to the greatest 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.040 player ever due to the greatest three game stretch of 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.760 basketball ever, Lebron James. He went forty one sixteen and seven, 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.440 and then forty one nine to eleven, and then he 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.600 had the triple double in game seven, twenty nine to 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.880 eleven and ten. I think to win twenty seven eleven 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.920 ten to win the title. I don't hold that against Steph. 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.120 You're up against the greatest player ever, has the greatest 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.640 three game stretch ever. And the other title you lose 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.960 was when Durant popped his achilles and Clay blew out 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.840 his knee. If they win the title this year, it's 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.600 an unbelievable stretch. Now there's the two years in the 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.600 middle of it, when they don't make the playoffs during 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:16.840 those two years. It's spelt to me like, Okay, you 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.480 know Durant those two years missed one year because he 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:19.840 was out. 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.680 With the achilles, basically missed this year. 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:25.560 Well and this year. But last year was unbelievable in 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.640 that series against Giannis and the Bucks. You couldn't put 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:32.400 that on Durant. But Steph, given that what happened with 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.800 Durant this year, swept in round one. If Steph with 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.960 a great supporting cast, but as you mentioned, not a 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.480 great number two. Jordan Pool's a one way player. 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:43.960 Clays A Shelby and Wiggins at this point that's his 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.800 number two. It seems like maybe, well. 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:50.240 Andrew Wiggins is the second best in this series, has 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:54.160 been the second best all around guy because Draymond's all defense, 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.880 Pool is all offense. Clay is not the same and 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:01.960 so yes, like Steph Curry, it was prior to this 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.520 year the point my point to be this. Prior to 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.040 this year, it was a real debate greater all time 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.920 Steph or kd if before this year it was a debate. 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.880 And if at the end of this year, Katie's swept 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.120 in around one and Steph wins the title, that's got 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:22.000 to sway it. Four rings, six finals appearances quickly, Guys 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.040 with the league MVP who have been to six finals, 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:38.000 it is Coozy, Russell, Kareem Magic, Michael Shaq, Kobe lebron I, 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.000 might a Duncan. That's the full list. If Steph adds 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.560 himself with that list, yeah, is he top ten all time? 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.600 Probably not, but banging on the door his second best 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.640 player of his generation. If they finished this off, he 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:51.400 might be second best player of his generation for the 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.880 time being. If they just make the finals, we'll be 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:54.360 right back. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.880 Pisode is brought to you by all State.

Yeah, 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.439 checking first is smart, So check all State first for 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:23.840 a quote that could save you hundreds.

Very terms apply All State 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.320 Fire and Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.760 Maybe I was irritated because my alarm didn't wake me 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:36.119 up on time? No, no, no, did you have any idea 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.720 that if you set a timer on the clock app 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.399 and you don't like reset it and you leave it open, 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:43.480 your alarm does not go off? And if you think 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.160 that I'm lying, test the theory tomorrow with your job. 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.920 Okay, you always just jump to And if you think 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:50.120 I'm lying, I don't think. 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.160 Because I used to lie a lot once upon a. 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.600 Time, I understand that I don't think you're lying. I 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:59.080 think that you are. You have now gotten to the 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.960 level where you are blaming Menlo Park, California and the 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:06.480 late Steve Jobs. The fact that you have for the 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:10.680 I don't know the last decade of your life overslept like. 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:14.600 Maybe like maybe, no? What BS is when my alarm 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.920 what I am a thousand and zero when my alarm. 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:20.040 Goes I'm a thousand. 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.880 No, I am quick like when my alarm goes off. 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.879 I don't oversleep. That's that's just the fact. 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.040 Okay, Well, then I if I were you, didn't I 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.040 buy you a plug in the wall. 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.520 Yeah, because I was using an iPhone eight, which is 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:36.920 that alarm wasn't very her life. 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.200 Why don't you use that as a backup if you're 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:42.320 undefeated when an alarm goes off. If I were you, 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.720 I would make sure the alarm always goes off. 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.040 I've got a point to prove. I got you. I 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:48.440 will set it up. I will set it. 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.720 Okay, hey new running tally and now demand has done it. 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.879 This is show twenty two. How many shows do we 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:59.359 get to before the damn dastardly iPhone screws him again 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:01.920 and he's a little late for the show prep meeting. 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.920 Let's see, let's just see. I'm gonna say we don't 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.920 get to show thirty one. Okay, I hope you proved 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:10.080 me wrong. Are you ready to go? Let's have like 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:13.280 seven away, that'd be nine away. Nobody said you're twenty 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.800 two to thirty one. No, listen, it might be a 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.080 thousand and zero at waking up? Can he count to 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.919 a thousand? I'm sure? All right, let's go. When are 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:22.359 we starting? 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:26.600 All NBA teams were announced. Joka's got first team and 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:28.760 then b got ann out second. So yeah, you got 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:29.880 your wishes kind. 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:32.840 Of yeah, exactly, that was important to me. 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:37.159 Lebron made thirdeam. I'm sure you have major issues with this, 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:39.600 and you know, considering how bitter you are, you don't 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.680 even have a vote. Huh, So what would you fix 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:44.240 about it? What would you make it right about this 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.160 year's NBA All NBA Team? 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:47.720 All right, so a little nick makes it right with 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:49.520 the All NBA team since I don't have a vote, 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:50.879 but I'm about to have a vote, and I'll tell 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.639 you why in just a moment. So I do like 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.840 that they kept to just one center. Fifty three of 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.200 the one hundred voters. By the way I crunch the 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.280 numbers on this, voted Jokic and Embiid both first team. 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:08.320 But despite that, in biding up being second team, I 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:10.960 would have had Himbiid first team in Jokic second team. 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:11.800 But it's fine. 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:14.919 I think that was a secret honest of course. 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:18.680 But overall, the first team. They did a really good job. 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:22.760 Luca makes first team, which, by the way, Lucas played 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.440
