Speaker 1: Welcome in. We'll drive in the great episode three oh four,
Speaker 1: final show before vacation. We'll be back the first Tuesday
Speaker 1: in March. It's March third or something, and also on
Speaker 1: TV today and then off tomorrow. So this is really
Speaker 1: getaway day normally, I'll be honest, getaway days, last days
Speaker 1: before vacation. I don't want to say you mail it in,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's just like, okay, let's just get
Speaker 1: to the finish line, regroup, refresh. However, not only was
Speaker 1: there in an infuriating basketball game last night, but there
Speaker 1: has been and you can set your watch to it,
Speaker 1: and even more infuriating discussion in the eight hours since
Speaker 1: that game ended. So we're gonna get to all of that.
Speaker 1: I don't know how we might spend more time on
Speaker 1: Lakers hornets than the entire fourth quarter actually lasted. So
Speaker 1: we'll do all of that. But first, demand'sa's here with us.
Speaker 1: Of course, here's what missed the cut for the show
Speaker 1: that we will discuss briefly, Jah Aaron Gore and Zach
Speaker 1: Lavine allegedly interested in the dunk contest. Here would be
Speaker 1: my only concern with that, Tomase, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: feel like Aaron Gordon and Zach Lavine might have set
Speaker 1: the standard too high with their younger selves. I don't
Speaker 1: know if they still have that performance in them because
Speaker 1: they had an all time dunk contest duel. So I
Speaker 1: would want I wouldn't want them to almost sully their
Speaker 1: dunk contest. Rats exactly. Kyrie, who has been the most
Speaker 1: reasonable person related to Dallas Mavericks. Amazingly, he essentially should
Speaker 1: be the Dallas Mavericks spokesperson. What a crazy journey for
Speaker 1: him the last few years to where he is now
Speaker 1: the respected, measured mature elder in the room. He also
Speaker 1: said he might want to play for Australia in the
Speaker 1: next Olympics. That'd be dope. He was born in Australia.
Speaker 1: And then there is this so have it so this
Speaker 1: So NASA said there's like a three percent chance and
Speaker 1: asteroid's gonna hit the US in a couple of years,
Speaker 1: highest they've ever recorded. They then, you know, adjusted that
Speaker 1: down to like one point seven percent or something. This
Speaker 1: is oddly something demands that the asteroid hitting the Earth
Speaker 1: probability stuff. It could be at forty percent and I
Speaker 1: don't think I would change it would change my day
Speaker 1: one day, Yeah, because I look at that as such
Speaker 1: a binary a there's nothing you can do and it's
Speaker 1: either total human destruction or everything's fine. So I just don't.
Speaker 1: I can't wrap my mind around worrying about it. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: if it the bright side I suppose is if it happens,
Speaker 1: none of us really know, right, it happens just lights
Speaker 1: out on the planet, you know.
Speaker 2: What I mean? And so does it have to Is
Speaker 2: it going to destroy the whole planet or is it
Speaker 2: going to destroy like parts of it?
Speaker 1: Well, listen, you're you're raising a good point, which is
Speaker 1: is it instant lights out destruction for the world or
Speaker 1: is it like lights out god kids, and then the
Speaker 1: sun gets blacked out and we're all in that movie
Speaker 1: The Road. Yeah, that would be worrisome. But I just
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna trust that you know that the one
Speaker 1: and thirty three shots not gonna come in. That's that is.
Speaker 1: That is what I'm going to trust. All right, Let's
Speaker 1: get to the one basketball game last night, the worst
Speaker 1: Laker game of the year, And I was, well, I'll
Speaker 1: let you set it up and then I'll and then
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I was going to discuss and
Speaker 1: then I guess what we end up having to discuss,
Speaker 1: So go ahead.
Speaker 2: All right? Yeah, So the Lakers were embarrassed at home
Speaker 2: last night by the Hornets at home. That's now the
Speaker 2: Jazz and and now the Hornets. Lucas still struggling on offense.
Speaker 2: I think the team still needs to mash a little
Speaker 2: bit better. But he had fourteen points, celever rebounds, eight assists,
Speaker 2: so that was nice. Austin Reeves got ejected. Is it
Speaker 2: time to sound the alarm?
Speaker 1: Here?
Speaker 2: Are you scared? What's going on here in Leyton?
Speaker 1: Later? Well, I was. I thought the conversation was going
Speaker 1: to be about Luca today because Luca looks unsettled. However,
Speaker 1: it's not because if people didn't stay up to watch
Speaker 1: this game. Let me give you a quick recap. Lakers
Speaker 1: were up twenty. They then slowly but surely blew the game.
Speaker 1: They then late down four, uh, well actually down two.
Speaker 1: Ruey misses back to back free throws with thirty five
Speaker 1: seconds left, just a killer, just a good free throw
Speaker 1: shooter misses both. They then find themselves down four after
Speaker 1: LaMelo kind of cooks Luca out on the perimeter and
Speaker 1: they get a layup. Lebron hits an impossible three to
Speaker 1: cut it to one the Hornets. Then LaMelo hits a
Speaker 1: couple free throws, and then Lebron has a really good
Speaker 1: but deep look and misses it. They get the rebound,
Speaker 1: gets another decent look and misses it, and they lose.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, man, I was like, we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to talk about how sad Luca looks. That to me
Speaker 1: is the actual story. Little did I know? And this
Speaker 1: is a bad job by me, bad media, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of seeing the tea leaves. I missed what the
Speaker 1: obvious story was gonna be. Lebron missed another clutch shot, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, he has been shockingly bad at those
Speaker 1: in the regular season since he's been a Laker. Last
Speaker 1: five second shots to tie or take the lead as
Speaker 1: a as a Laker one of twenty nine, so like,
Speaker 1: really really bad at those in the regular season, and
Speaker 1: that's a legitimate complaint. I guess, like whatever, But I
Speaker 1: foolishly thought we were done with and passed the Lebron
Speaker 1: clutch gen stuff. I thought maybe, and you guys know,
Speaker 1: I you know, I've always been pretty respectful to my
Speaker 1: former colleagues skip baylists, But I did think that with
Speaker 1: Skip moving to a different part of his career, maybe
Speaker 1: the Lebron clutch gen stuff would you know, wander off
Speaker 1: into the sunset as well, because not because it's unfair
Speaker 1: to talk about whether or not guys can come through
Speaker 1: in the clutch, but because it has always been an
Speaker 1: empire built on lies. You know, a mid February regular
Speaker 1: season game against the Hornets miss threes. It's like, man,
Speaker 1: Kobe would have made that. So now I have to
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this, but now I have
Speaker 1: to be the person. And by the way, this is
Speaker 1: something that if we edit this properly and because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna machine gun you with numbers and put this on
Speaker 1: the TikTok and the Instagram, folks are going to say
Speaker 1: these are fake stats because there's such a Mandela effect
Speaker 1: of oh, I know what I remember and what is
Speaker 1: true and what isn't. So again, I did this eighteen
Speaker 1: months ago, I looked it up in our archives. I
Speaker 1: will now do it again with the updated numbers. Thanks
Speaker 1: to our friends at Statthead and Basketball Reference. The database
Speaker 1: goes back to nineteen ninety seven to now Here are
Speaker 1: the clutch shooting numbers for Lebron and for all your
Speaker 1: favorite players. We will go from the max to the men.
Speaker 1: So the set, the setup is this shots to tie
Speaker 1: or take the lead in the playoffs final minute Lebron
Speaker 1: James twenty three of fifty forty six percent. That is
Speaker 1: a better percentage than every player in the database from
Speaker 1: ninety seven to now, except for Demonse's Guy Ray Allen,
Speaker 1: who was just an absolute killer. So it's not only
Speaker 1: that Lebron has made the most and taken the most
Speaker 1: forty six percent. You might be like, well and ninety
Speaker 1: seven to now that covers Kobe's entire career. Kobe was
Speaker 1: assuredly better than Lebron at these again, playoff games, tie,
Speaker 1: take the lead final minute Lebron twenty three to fifty
Speaker 1: forty six percent, Kobe Bryant it twelve of forty four
Speaker 1: twenty seven percent, Kevin Durant nine of thirty five twenty
Speaker 1: six percent, Steph Curry six of twenty five twenty four percent.
Speaker 1: You want to go to We've heard forever. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Lebron just put his head down, get to the basket.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have the bag. What about threes Lebron final
Speaker 1: minute of playoff games to tie or take the lead
Speaker 1: four of eleven from three, Kobe Bean Bryant three of seventeen,
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant three of sixteen, Steph Curry three of fourteen.
Speaker 1: Let's go smaller. Final thirty seconds playoff games tie or
Speaker 1: take the lead Lebron James fourteen of thirty five forty
Speaker 1: percent from the field, Kobe mister clutch killer, Kobe Bryant
Speaker 1: Bron fourteen of thirty five forty percent, Kobe eight of
Speaker 1: thirty one twenty six percent, Durant six of twenty four
Speaker 1: twenty five percent, Steph four of nineteen twenty one percent.
Speaker 1: Let's go smaller. Let's go to the stat that we're
Speaker 1: hearing about Lebron in the regular season as a Laker
Speaker 1: final five seconds tie or take the lead in the
Speaker 1: playoffs Lebron eight of twenty forty percent, Kobe Bryant four
Speaker 1: of eighteen twenty two percent, Kevin Durant two of eleven
Speaker 1: eighteen percent. Let me, where is Steph on this? I
Speaker 1: know he's on this somewhere, I can't even find him.
Speaker 1: Step maybe hasn't taken in the final five s seconds.
Speaker 1: Oh there's Steph one of six seventeen percent. So the
Speaker 1: reason the Lebron clutch thing has always been so such
Speaker 1: an outrage in an affront to kind of the way
Speaker 1: we consume basketball at large. Is it was literally not
Speaker 1: only was it never true, the opposite was true. The
Speaker 1: guy hit a game winner in the first playoff series
Speaker 1: of his career at twenty one years old. And if
Speaker 1: we go for again now, I'll just do percentages and
Speaker 1: show you the full list of guys in the last
Speaker 1: thirty years in the NBA who have been more clutch
Speaker 1: in the postseason final minute tire take the lead of
Speaker 1: every player to take at least fifteen of those shots.
Speaker 1: There have been twenty in twentieth place. This one's rough
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook three of twenty four in nineteenth place, Steph
Speaker 1: Curry six of twenty five, second place, Lebron James twenty
Speaker 1: three of fifty forty six percent. Ray Allen first place
Speaker 1: by a lot, eleven of twenty one fifty two percent.
Speaker 1: If you want to do three point percentages, Ray Allen
Speaker 1: sits alone ten of sixteen pretty remarkable, ten of sixteen
Speaker 1: sixty three percent, Dame five of ten fifty percent, Reggie
Speaker 1: Miller fairs fair six of thirteen forty six percent, and
Speaker 1: then Lebron four of eleven thirty six percent. You go
Speaker 1: down the Russell Westbrook yikes again, one of fourteen, that's
Speaker 1: seven percent, Kobe three of seventeen, that's seventeen percent. Fourteen again,
Speaker 1: if you want to just go raw percentages, final thirty
Speaker 1: seconds of the playoffs, Tire take the lead. The only
Speaker 1: guy ahead of Lebron is Ray Allen nine of eighteen
Speaker 1: fifty percent Lebron fourteen of thirty five forty percent. Ray Allen,
Speaker 1: by the way, final thirty seconds on threes Demons eight
Speaker 1: of thirteen to Tire take the lead in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Guy just unbelievable at those on those shots, Gene, He's
Speaker 1: maybe the best ever. The statistically is the best ever.
Speaker 1: Now if we expand that to where you don't have
Speaker 1: to have taken fifteen of these shots, just to where
Speaker 1: you only had to have taken ten. Two more guys
Speaker 1: jump ahead of Lebron. One is Chris Middleton six of
Speaker 1: eleven in the playoffs to Tire take the lead in
Speaker 1: the final thirty seconds and Jimmy Butler six of thirteen
Speaker 1: at forty six percent Lebron fourteen to thirty five. But again,
Speaker 1: the guy in your head that was the ultimate clutch
Speaker 1: guy Kobe Bean Bryant on these shots final thirty seconds,
Speaker 1: Tire take the lead eight of thirty one from the
Speaker 1: field and on threes one of twelve final thirty seconds
Speaker 1: Tire take the lead in the playoffs and Steph Curry
Speaker 1: four of nineteen overall, Again, these numbers are not very
Speaker 1: kind to Russell Westbrook Russ one of fourteen from the field,
Speaker 1: zero of nine from three, and then last but not least,
Speaker 1: final five seconds, Tire take the lead playoffs. If we
Speaker 1: just make it to where have you taken five of
Speaker 1: these shots? Because Lebron's taken twenty The only guys with
Speaker 1: a better percentage Jimmy Butler's three of five, Reggie's five
Speaker 1: of nine, Chris Middleton's four of eight. Lebron is eight
Speaker 1: of twenty forty percent, and on threes in those spots
Speaker 1: Lebron's two for five forty percent. Kobe, who everyone remembers
Speaker 1: as the ultimate clutch killer. Final five seconds of playoff
Speaker 1: games to tire or take the lead four of eighteen
Speaker 1: twenty two percent, one of seven from three, Steph one
Speaker 1: for six, Durant two for eleven from the field. So I,
Speaker 1: so the lesson on This is multifaceted. One is nobody
Speaker 1: really aside from Ray Allen shoots an amazing percentage on
Speaker 1: these nobody but shooting more than thirty percent on him
Speaker 1: is remarkable. And across every five second, thirty second minute
Speaker 1: playoff game, TI take the lead, Lebron's looking up at
Speaker 1: one guy, Ray Allen, and again you might be like, well, Jordan,
Speaker 1: I know was eighty percent. The database only goes back
Speaker 1: to ninety seven, so I can't tell you what Jordan was.
Speaker 1: The NBA is very cagey about play by play data
Speaker 1: early in Michael Jordan's career. Maybe it's because the eighties
Speaker 1: were a different time, or maybe they're, you know, protecting
Speaker 1: a legend. I don't know. What I do know is
Speaker 1: this that if you asked one hundred basketball fans what
Speaker 1: they thought Kobe or Lebron or Durant or Lebron or
Speaker 1: Steph or Lebron's percentages were in these circumstances, the vast
Speaker 1: majority would look at Kobe's numbers and be like, those
Speaker 1: are Lebron's. And look at Lebron's numbers and say those
Speaker 1: are Kobe's. And even after I present this data, you
Speaker 1: know what, folks, are gonna say, Ah, I don't believe it.
Speaker 1: It didn't feel that way. And the reason it didn't
Speaker 1: feel that way, and the reason I'm doing this today
Speaker 1: is because no other player ever could miss a twenty
Speaker 1: eight footer down three after hitting the three to cut
Speaker 1: it to one in a regular season game against the
Speaker 1: Hornets when he was the best player on his team
Speaker 1: that night, and have that morning sports television be an
Speaker 1: indictment on him. The reason you don't remember the Kobe
Speaker 1: misses is because every single Kobe game wasn't a referendum
Speaker 1: on his clutch or anti clutchness. There's been one athlete
Speaker 1: ever that has been treated like this, and it's the
Speaker 1: same guy who was criticized for not playing in his
Speaker 1: twenty first straight All Star Game and then was criticized
Speaker 1: for playing last night. Oh looked awful healthy last night,
Speaker 1: didn't he? But he couldn't get it's the regular You
Speaker 1: saw that right, Yeah, he's having a good time. The
Speaker 1: thing he got that rest on Sunday for real, it
Speaker 1: might not have been able to do it. So I
Speaker 1: do find these I find this this stuff fascinating, if
Speaker 1: for no other reason than how gas lit kind of
Speaker 1: sports media has been or sports fans have been by
Speaker 1: sports media like Chauncey billups Mister big Shot is his nickname.
Speaker 1: Chauncey billups On in the final minute of the playoff
Speaker 1: games to tire or take the lead is five of twenty.
Speaker 1: The exact same five of twenty is James Harden. But
Speaker 1: that's it's just not how we remember it because we
Speaker 1: remember the moments of it. So also there's a couple
Speaker 1: funny names on like if you go through the in
Speaker 1: the last third years, the twenty guys who have taken
Speaker 1: at least fifteen shots in the final minute of playoff
Speaker 1: games to tire take the lead. The names it's all
Speaker 1: names of like Okay, stars, Hall of Famers, all time greats.
Speaker 1: And then also Haydu Turkalou who took sixteen of these,
Speaker 1: And I just imagine that was because he was on
Speaker 1: deep playoff runs with Dwight and you know, Dwight, you're
Speaker 1: not going to give the ball to in the fire.
Speaker 1: He was the guy who ended up having to take
Speaker 1: those shots. Yeah, but it's it's ray Allen, Lebron Jimmy.
Speaker 1: This is in order of field goal percentage, descending number one.
Speaker 1: Ray Allen then Lebron, Jimmy Butler, Reggie Miller, Manu Ginobili,
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton, John Stockton, Derk Novitzky, Steve Nash, Damian Lillard,
Speaker 1: Haydu Turkalou, Tim Duncan, Dwayne Wade, Kobe Bryant, Paul Piers,
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, John T. Billis, James hard and Steph Curry,
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook seventeen No Doubt Hall of Famers two, borderline
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, and hate who so shout out to
Speaker 1: my guy hat Turkle. I don't know why he's my guy.
Speaker 1: All right, Now, let's talk about the lucapiece of it.
Speaker 1: Demanse Uh. I think he's legit sad, and I think
Speaker 1: he is really unsettled by this. He looks so unsure
Speaker 1: of himself. Go ahead, yeah about Yes. I think that
Speaker 1: he is still in a state of shock that this happened.
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's about wanting or not wanting
Speaker 1: to be a Laker. I think it's more about this team.
Speaker 1: That he looked at himself as the leader of obviously
Speaker 1: the best player this franchise, that I think he truly
Speaker 1: believed he might be able to do what Dirk did
Speaker 1: and play with one team forever, that they traded him
Speaker 1: under the dark of night and then have done everything
Speaker 1: they can to just tell the world we don't believe
Speaker 1: in you. We thought you were a bad leader, of
Speaker 1: mediocre teammate, out of shape, all of it. He seems
Speaker 1: less confident on the court than at any moment of
Speaker 1: his career. And Luca is at his best when he's
Speaker 1: like a snarling, angry monster. But he also has to
Speaker 1: have that kind of swagger and confidence and I just
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, and I don't know what how long
Speaker 1: this is gonna this is gonna take. But he looks
Speaker 1: he looks relieved when he makes a shot. He looks
Speaker 1: unsure of what he wants to do with the ball.
Speaker 1: And it's not again. I'm not sure how many people
Speaker 1: stayed up late to watch the entirety of Lakers hornets.
Speaker 1: I oddly did. Late in the game, he like, there
Speaker 1: was I forget I think maybe Bron shot it. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure. There's a misshot and Luca is down fighting
Speaker 1: on the offensive glass gets a rebound and gets a
Speaker 1: putback is to tie the game. It's a huge play,
Speaker 1: and you saw a shot of him after that, and
Speaker 1: it was. It wasn't even like it didn't. Again, I'm
Speaker 1: not a body language expert, but just from watching this
Speaker 1: guy every step of his career, it wasn't excitement as
Speaker 1: much as it was relief, like I finally made a
Speaker 1: play and I don't know how long this is gonna last.
Speaker 1: My hope would be the MAVs game next week snaps
Speaker 1: him out of it. That there is that seeing like that,
Speaker 1: that is I'm because the Lakers host the MAVs on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: so they have the Blazers tonight, Dane between that Nuggets Saturday. Yeah, correct, right,
Speaker 1: and I would imagine Lebron's not playing tonight, so maybe
Speaker 1: tonight like with Luca just running the full show. But
Speaker 1: so I'm not I'm not as worried about what these
Speaker 1: losses mean for the Lakers in the standings, because I
Speaker 1: know we talked about could could they catch Denver climb
Speaker 1: to the three and you know put Denver and Okac
Speaker 1: on the same side of the bracket. Losing to Utah
Speaker 1: and Charlotte probably made that, I don't want to say unrealistic,
Speaker 1: because they could beat Denver on Saturday and then just
Speaker 1: be a game back. But I now look at it
Speaker 1: more like, just stay in the four five, don't fall
Speaker 1: to the six where you might have to play Denver
Speaker 1: in round one. That sounds awful. Stay in the four
Speaker 1: or five and then you know, theoretically get Houston or
Speaker 1: the Clippers in round one and then take your chances
Speaker 1: with Oka See and again, Okay See is a great team,
Speaker 1: great team, but I think for a team that young,
Speaker 1: I think they're you know, playing Luca who beat him
Speaker 1: last year in the playoffs, and Lebron could be tough,
Speaker 1: and then you know, see what happens with Denver. But
Speaker 1: Luca is out of sorts, like really truly out of sorts,
Speaker 1: and he seems like he is not yet fully dealt
Speaker 1: with or is consistently still dealing with the trade. There's
Speaker 1: also evidently some breaking news to him on say you
Speaker 1: want to share it with the audience.
Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, Bobby Portos has been suspended twenty five games
Speaker 2: for a performance enhancing drugs Yes, so games of the season.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean there's only twenty nine games left
Speaker 1: and the Bos need him. Let me. I just saw
Speaker 1: someone tweeted that his agent, So what his agent is
Speaker 1: saying that Bobby unintentionally took a pain medication called tramadoll,
Speaker 1: thinking was taking a pain medication called tour it All.
Speaker 1: Tour it All's approved, Tramadoll is not approved, was recently
Speaker 1: out of the band substance list tramad All. I feel
Speaker 1: like I've taken tramadoll.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard of tramad all before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think tramadoll. Uh, so it's a painkiller. Maybe
Speaker 1: I was wrong. I thought tramado all was like an
Speaker 1: anxiety thing, So maybe I haven't taken it. Tour it all.
Speaker 1: We all know tour it all. A lot of football
Speaker 1: players take uh tram it all. Oh yeah, trama all
Speaker 1: is in a super strong painkiller. It's an opioid. So listen.
Speaker 1: Everybody always takes steroids by accident. We all know this.
Speaker 1: Like nobody's ever actually intentionally violated the performance answering drug policy.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, the So people can decide
Speaker 1: whether or not they want to believe Bobby Portis's agent,
Speaker 1: that's fine. What does matter is this bad for the Bucks.
Speaker 1: Is bad for a Bucks team that is trying to
Speaker 1: climb the Eastern Conference standings. Now they I think it's
Speaker 1: more important for them to just stay where they're at
Speaker 1: in the four to five line rather than move They're
Speaker 1: not gonna move up. There's six games behind the Knicks,
Speaker 1: so they're not going to catch the Knicks for the three.
Speaker 1: But what they don't want to do is fall to
Speaker 1: the six and then end up having to play the
Speaker 1: Knicks in round one. Like, there's clearly three teams in
Speaker 1: the East in Boston, Cleveland, and New York that seem
Speaker 1: that are considerably better than every one else, with Milwaukee
Speaker 1: lurking because of Giannis. Milwaukee doesn't want to have to
Speaker 1: face one of those three in round one. And you
Speaker 1: traded Middleton. You I know you have Kuzma now Kuzma though,
Speaker 1: shout out Kyle Kuzma. Good for him, buddy, congrats engage
Speaker 1: Winnie Harlowe. Unbelievable. I know they've been together for a
Speaker 1: long time. But the listen, I Kyle. Kyle was once
Speaker 1: upon a time a real pro for that Lakers team.
Speaker 1: He was a real pro as the year they won
Speaker 1: the championship, did the dirty work, rebounded, defended, did all
Speaker 1: that stuff. Then went to the Wizards and just played
Speaker 1: nonsense basketball for three years. But maybe now he's with
Speaker 1: the Bucks, he'll be a real pro again. But Milwaukee
Speaker 1: needs to stay where they are in the in the bracket.
Speaker 1: They can't drop down to the six. All right, let's
Speaker 1: do a little more on the Luke ad trade because
Speaker 1: Rich Paul talked about it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Rich Paul had a little bit on the
Speaker 2: Gilbert Arenas podcast. He said, a ninety nine point nine
Speaker 2: percent of the time, I'm gonna know what's going on.
Speaker 2: The one time I didn't was the one time we
Speaker 2: all didn't per se know what was going on.
Speaker 1: So you thoughts, here's the thing, I know. You know,
Speaker 1: Bill Simmons and others have been adamant that they think
Speaker 1: this is all a lie, that they think a lot
Speaker 1: of people knew. Lebron knew and Rich Paul knew. And
Speaker 1: I truly believe these guys. I don't always believe them,
Speaker 1: but I believe him for two reasons. One is there
Speaker 1: was not even a whiff of this in the media.
Speaker 1: There was not a whiff of it anywhere. And the
Speaker 1: other reason is because Wendy believes them. And Brian Windhorst.
Speaker 1: Brian Windhorst knows everything that's happening in the NBA. He
Speaker 1: discusses ten percent of what he knows, so like Wendy
Speaker 1: is always I think, and I don't want to speak
Speaker 1: for him, but in a weird spot on TV because
Speaker 1: very often he knows a lot more than he is
Speaker 1: willing to discuss or at liberty to discuss. But it
Speaker 1: does allow him to have very informed opinions. And so
Speaker 1: you really if you listen to Wendy's podcast or watch
Speaker 1: him on TV, you can learn a lot. And Wendy said,
Speaker 1: this is a time he believes that no one knew anything.
Speaker 1: He didn't know anything, and so I believe Rich Paul
Speaker 1: on this. He went on to say it was a
Speaker 1: shock to everybody who was in. It was a shock.
Speaker 1: The timing of it was a shock. Obviously who was
Speaker 1: involved as a shock. I'm glad I didn't know, and
Speaker 1: I'm glad that whoever else didn't know, because it probably
Speaker 1: wouldn't have happened if you did know. You can't get
Speaker 1: those things done with people know. And I wonder how
Speaker 1: much of that is. I wonder if the Jazz wouldn't
Speaker 1: have participated that, if the Jazz run by Danny Ainge,
Speaker 1: who hates the Lakers, if the Jazz wouldn't now the
Speaker 1: Jazz basically got two free second round picks so like
Speaker 1: to make the salaries work taken on Jalen Hood Schaffino,
Speaker 1: but they I do wonder if the Jazz will been like, no,
Speaker 1: we're not helping the Lakers get lukad Ancic. Bleep, you
Speaker 1: find somebody else. So I believe rich on this all right.
Speaker 1: Before we get to other potential NBA trades, let me
Speaker 1: talk to you guys about my friends at DraftKings. Who's

Speaker 1: said we're gonna keep tracking this. Yesterday we went over too.
Speaker 1: We took the Lebron over and the Luca under. No,
Speaker 1: we should have done it. We took the Lebron under
Speaker 1: and the Luca over. Luca didn't do anything. Lebron looked
Speaker 1: like we might go one for one, but then Lebron
Speaker 1: hit that late three to just kill us, then didn't
Speaker 1: hit the late later three to win the game or
Speaker 1: tie the game. So our record's now one and two.
Speaker 1: So today this is the one I'm looking at. I'm
Speaker 1: only looking at one today. I usually we give you two,
Speaker 1: but it's coming off the All Star break. You don't
Speaker 1: know exactly who's playing. I don't want to give you,
Speaker 1: guys ones that I'm not actually playing myself. Kevin Durant
Speaker 1: over twenty six and a half points is where the
Speaker 1: line is right now. It is Sun Spurs again lines
Speaker 1: an odds subject to change my thought process on that
Speaker 1: this is twofold. One is Durant probably feeling good with
Speaker 1: that Olympics documentary coming out where he looks like a star.
Speaker 1: Durant also fought to stay with the Suns they need
Speaker 1: to get in the play in and Wimby all of
Speaker 1: a sudden doubtful with an illness. Ooh, So for all
Speaker 1: those reasons, I think Durant gets to thirty, I'll take
Speaker 1: over twenty six and a half points first time. Here's

Speaker 1: slash b ball now uh wimby being listed all of
Speaker 1: a sudden doubtful with an illness a Chandler Parsons and
Speaker 1: his infinite wisdom. Yesterday was like, guys, I've got something.
Speaker 1: I've got to blow the let off this thing. Did
Speaker 1: you know that when a player is listed with flu
Speaker 1: like symptoms, it usually means they were out drinking too
Speaker 1: much last night. Yeah? Yeah, guys, that's why it's called
Speaker 1: flu like. That wasn't a conspiracy. It's literally in the
Speaker 1: description flu like symptoms not listed with the flu flu
Speaker 1: like symptoms. You know what flu like symptoms are. I'm sweaty,
Speaker 1: I'm throwing up, I have a splitting headache. Yeah, everybody
Speaker 1: is always known that usually means you were out partying
Speaker 1: too much. But listen, more power to Chandler Parsons. I
Speaker 1: would have thought his career peaked when he swindled Dallas
Speaker 1: out of that eighty million uh, when he wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: pass his physical Little did I know he was just
Speaker 1: gonna become a take cannon up to it, including being
Speaker 1: like Lebron's making everyone share a court with his son.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. And I understand he's retired,
Speaker 1: so maybe it's unfair. I put five thousand dollars in
Speaker 1: uh Bronnie versus Chandler Parsons one on one game right now,
Speaker 1: this moment, Chandler, and get that back right we played
Speaker 1: to eleven. Uh, I'll take Bronnie in that one. Follow
Speaker 1: the bel the belt, the belt. Oh gosh, I mean
Speaker 1: that's I I'm trying to I'm trying to be kind.
Speaker 1: The guy dealt with injuries last played, and I mean
Speaker 1: he's been out of league five years, so yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean the yeah. I uh. And I covered Chandler right
Speaker 1: when he got to Houston. He was really good player
Speaker 1: until he got hurt. Really good second round pick by
Speaker 1: my buddy Darryl. All Right, demons, let's go to Durant. Uh.
Speaker 2: So Katie reportedly shot down a trade to Golden State
Speaker 2: around the deadline. Steve Kerr didn't blame Katie. He came
Speaker 2: out and said he still gets criticized, so why would
Speaker 2: he want to face all that bs again? Katie and
Speaker 2: ied that being the reason and said that I just
Speaker 2: didn't want to get traded a bit way through the season.
Speaker 2: And then then when asked about being moved in the summer,
Speaker 2: he said, you got to ask the front office about that.
Speaker 2: I didn't ask for a trade from Phoenix, so I buy.
Speaker 1: That he just didn't want to be traded during the season.
Speaker 1: I do buy that. I here's what I would say
Speaker 1: if he does have like, oh, maybe I would play
Speaker 1: with him again, but next year I would my advice, like,
Speaker 1: you know, you can move me in the off season.
Speaker 1: My advice would have been to go now. And that
Speaker 1: is because that's because we don't. We are already approaching
Speaker 1: really unprecedented territory with how long Steph and Durant are
Speaker 1: still this good, and there is no guarantee that next
Speaker 1: postseason having the two of them together would make you
Speaker 1: a championship contender. Here is a crazy stat, Demons, So
Speaker 1: Steph's thirty six, Durant's thirty six. Steph is averaging twenty
Speaker 1: three points per game this year twenty three and a half.
Speaker 1: Here is the complete list of players in the history
Speaker 1: of the NBA to average at least twenty three points
Speaker 1: per game in a season age thirty six or older.
Speaker 1: Steph this year, Durant this year, Kareem one time, Karl
Speaker 1: malone twice, and Lebron five times. That's the list. Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan never did it, Kobe Bryant never did it. An
Speaker 1: I just every one of your favorite players. Ever, if
Speaker 1: it is not Steph or Durant this year, Kareem Karmel,
Speaker 1: owner Lebron, they never average twenty three a game age
Speaker 1: thirty six or older. Now Durant's averaging twenty seven and
Speaker 1: shows no signs of slowing down. Steph is showing some
Speaker 1: signs of slowing down, which again there is he's thirty.
Speaker 1: He turns thirty seven next month. It's remarkable he's still
Speaker 1: doing this, Like Lebron playing at this level at age forty.
Speaker 1: There's a Brady effect to it, where when Tom Brady
Speaker 1: wins the Super Bowl at forty four, people then look
Speaker 1: at Drew Brees at thirty nine and they're like he
Speaker 1: should still be awesome or forty, and it's like, no,
Speaker 1: you know what, that's not a fair expectation. Now Durant
Speaker 1: might keep just keep this up. I mean, Durant's showing
Speaker 1: no signs of slowing down, except for he doesn't really
Speaker 1: have as much of an impact on winning is as
Speaker 1: he once did. But that's again, he's still one of
Speaker 1: the twelve best players in the league. So I just
Speaker 1: feel I hate that Durant is going to have another
Speaker 1: great year without any real chance of winning the championship
Speaker 1: and Phoenix is more likely to miss the playoffs entirely
Speaker 1: than they are to be in the conference finals. So
Speaker 1: that's a bummer to me. Did you want to ask you.
Speaker 2: Is more likely to be a Sun next year or
Speaker 2: another team? I can't.
Speaker 1: I feel like, oh, I think he's gonna be somewhere else.
Speaker 1: I think that here's what I think. I'm going to
Speaker 1: give you a handful of teams that have real expectation
Speaker 1: this year or had it going into the year. Okay,
Speaker 1: and either they had it going into the year and
Speaker 1: they've underachieved, or now because of what they've done, they
Speaker 1: have you know, they have created real expectation. In the East,
Speaker 1: the only one is the Knicks that fits this category.
Speaker 1: And in the West, Memphis, Houston, Minnesota and then the
Speaker 1: pipe dream OKC. If any of those teams go out
Speaker 1: and round one, do they this offseason say you know what,
Speaker 1: let's go out and you know, pay one hundred and
Speaker 1: ten cents on the dollar for Kevin Durant to try
Speaker 1: to take us over the top. Now, I see no
Speaker 1: scenario in the world where OKC goes out in round one.
Speaker 1: But our friend Ty Butler, who's a huge Durant fan this.
Speaker 1: He has been pushing this right, and I love the
Speaker 1: storyline of it, of Durant coming back to OKAC at
Speaker 1: the end and delivering them a championship alongside Shay. That
Speaker 1: would be so cool and it would be such an
Speaker 1: awesome moment for him. I think more likely is Minnesota
Speaker 1: gets involved and then lurking is Houston because Houston has
Speaker 1: the assets and the draft picks. I don't think they're
Speaker 1: good enough to be you know. I do think they
Speaker 1: are probably gonna lose in round one, and that would
Speaker 1: to me be a really fascinating one. But I see
Speaker 1: no chance he plays for the Suns next year like
Speaker 1: I think the Suns. No, I just think the Suns
Speaker 1: are gonna right now. My money would be on Phoenix
Speaker 1: missing the play in entirely, not even the playoffs to
Speaker 1: play in, So I don't know how they run it back?
Speaker 1: Go ahead? What were you gonna say?
Speaker 2: Do you think you said Katie's showing those signs of
Speaker 2: slow and down? Whe would you compare Winby to him
Speaker 2: right now? Got similar body types? See the week Wimby's
Speaker 2: past him.
Speaker 1: I don't because I don't view it. The NBA is
Speaker 1: not fifty percent offense fifty percent defense. When it comes
Speaker 1: to player evaluation, it just isn't. If it were, there
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a need for an All defense team. The
Speaker 1: reason there's an All Star team, an All NBA team,
Speaker 1: and then an All Defense team. It's like, hey, this
Speaker 1: guy might have been the third best defender in the
Speaker 1: whole league and he's not even an All Star. So
Speaker 1: Wimby is a brilliant defender, brilliant and he's a good
Speaker 1: offensive player. I don't think he's a great offensive player.
Speaker 1: Yet Katie is a decent defender and a brilliant offensive player.
Speaker 1: It's close, but I right now would say Durant I.
Speaker 1: Also speaking of Wimby, I we had this discussion on
Speaker 1: the show yesterday because there was a you know something
Speaker 1: that all stars were asked who's gonna be the best
Speaker 1: player in the league in five years? And Wimby got
Speaker 1: the most votes. He got six of the fifteen and
Speaker 1: Luca got zero. And I said my vote would be
Speaker 1: for Luca. Luke in five years is going to be thirty.
Speaker 1: Wimby in five years is gonna be twenty six. And again,
Speaker 1: I understand the upside of Wimby, but what also and again,
Speaker 1: he's already awesome. But also, if we're going to be
Speaker 1: fair and going to be honest, we would say this
Speaker 1: Luca was better by year two than Wimby is right now.
Speaker 1: Luke in year two carried his team to the playoffs,
Speaker 1: was first team All NBA, and was dominant in that
Speaker 1: playoff series against a really good, healthy Clippers team. Like Wimby,
Speaker 1: this Wimby has not yet impacted winning of him Like, yes,
Speaker 1: that and he listen, he's also awesome. I'm not taking
Speaker 1: that away. He is awesome, but he is more of
Speaker 1: an idea right now than he is a It's just
Speaker 1: the other guys. Let me just do this real quick.
Speaker 2: So if you are on a winning team right now, Bill,
Speaker 2: you think it'd be a lot different.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They suck.
Speaker 1: I mean I think that. I think that the other guys.
Speaker 1: So I just want to so, oh, sorry, guys, I
Speaker 1: did this. That's my fault. I'm back now. Lost the
Speaker 1: camera for a second because I was trying to pull
Speaker 1: up the Pelicans record in twenty fourteen. I just think
Speaker 1: the other guys who have had this type of deserved hype.
Speaker 2: It happened again, look it. Luke also might have had
Speaker 2: a better team around him as well.
Speaker 1: So the but I don't know that he did. That's like,
Speaker 1: all I'm gonna look at that real quick, Okay, So
Speaker 1: the I was trying to figure out what year Ante
Speaker 1: Davis was a rookie and which is why I keep losing.
Speaker 1: So Anthony Davis was a rookie in twelve thirteen. So
Speaker 1: in thirteen fourteen, okay, that one's that one. They were
Speaker 1: thirty four and forty eight. So that's in line with
Speaker 1: where the Spurs are. The let me look at the
Speaker 1: MAVs because people will say Jordan's Bulls were thirty and
Speaker 1: fifty two his second year, but that was the year
Speaker 1: Jordan broke his foot by so he didn't miss most
Speaker 1: of the year. By the way, that thirty win Bulls
Speaker 1: team made the playoffs, I know it seemed impossible. Look
Speaker 1: it up. It's true when people are like Jordan never
Speaker 1: missed the playoffs with the Bulls. He missed basically his
Speaker 1: whole second year. They won thirty games, they made the playoffs.
Speaker 1: So luke in year two they were forty three and
Speaker 1: thirty two. That was you know, that was the COVID
Speaker 1: year and so you didn't play the full schedule and
Speaker 1: they went to the playoffs. What the Calves in year
Speaker 1: two for Lebron Gosh, darn it, I got to figure
Speaker 1: out why this is happening. I apologize, guys. I probably
Speaker 1: should just stop looking this stuff up, but I just
Speaker 1: want to know. The Calves in year two were forty
Speaker 1: to and forty but missed the playoffs, so they were
Speaker 1: around five hundred. I just thought I didn't necessarily think
Speaker 1: demonse that Wimby and the Spurs this year would be
Speaker 1: a playoff team, but I thought they'd be around five
Speaker 1: hundred and so it's you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: that's been at least somewhat disappointing. I don't know how
Speaker 1: we got off on this. All right, let's do some
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers stuff where we get some listener questions again,
Speaker 1: some questions in the chat, but go ahead.
Speaker 2: Steve Helling and Ryan Dunlevy of The New York Post
Speaker 2: said Aaron Rodgers has pleaded before the Jets organization to
Speaker 2: keep him for a further season. Diana Russini on The
Speaker 2: Eisen Show, nobody had shared with me that Rogers was
Speaker 2: begging to stay in New York. Yet, in fact, this
Speaker 2: entire time, I knew that Aaron Rodgers wanted his time
Speaker 2: in New York to come to an end. He knew
Speaker 2: this chapter was over a while ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So here's the deal with respect to the
Speaker 1: New York Post. Guys, I believe Diana and Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: is not an idiot. He might, you know, he's odd
Speaker 1: at times, but he's not an idiot. When you make
Speaker 1: fun of the owner's son on the record, you that
Speaker 1: you don't do that if it's somewhere you want to
Speaker 1: stick around at, you know what I mean. Like he
Speaker 1: he was he was talking about whether or not he
Speaker 1: was going to be cut by Brick, which is not
Speaker 1: Jeff Ulbrick but Woody Johnson's kid. And so when that happens, demansay,
Speaker 1: you're not all, You're not then begging to stay. I
Speaker 1: think he wants one, wanted to be cut and wanted
Speaker 1: the opportunity to, you know, go out and see what's
Speaker 1: out there for him. Now I don't know what is
Speaker 1: out there for him, and.
Speaker 2: It's true what he kind of does want to still
Speaker 2: be a jet like and there's nothing out there for him.
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, guys, I he might end up regretting
Speaker 1: wanting to be cut. Because the market won't be there
Speaker 1: for him. But I man, I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a sad ish end because I just feel like maybe
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh throws him a lifeline. But if not Pittsburgh, demanse,
Speaker 1: I really think it's gonna end up being one of
Speaker 1: the two AFC South teams that nobody really cares that
Speaker 1: that's me, but that aren't high profile teams. The culture
Speaker 1: the Titans and like that. To me, I is are
Speaker 1: the most likely of the outcomes. Well right. The other
Speaker 1: option is for him to just wait and see if
Speaker 1: a contending team suffers a quarterback injury. But that's a
Speaker 1: risky needle to try to thread. Then you do have
Speaker 1: a chance of nobody suffers that type of injury and
Speaker 1: you're just out. And so the I it seemed to
Speaker 1: me like he knew the time with the Jets was
Speaker 1: over all right. This episode of What's Right is brought
Speaker 1: to you by DAYA Pizza featuring dairy free cheese made

Speaker 1: let's go to the NFL International stuff. Before we get
Speaker 1: to the listener questions, go ahead, Uh.
Speaker 2: Yes, the Charges are headed to Brazil this year. There
Speaker 2: are confirmed games in Spain, Germany, Ireland and three games
Speaker 2: in England.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So this is an opportunity for me to
Speaker 1: once again talk about the idea that I pitched to
Speaker 1: Roder Goodell in person eight years ago that they need
Speaker 1: to just take me up on the NFL International Week.
Speaker 1: It is a financial bonanza. It solves so many potential issues,
Speaker 1: and I will lay it out once again. We stay
Speaker 1: at seventeen games. Every single team plays eight home, eight road,
Speaker 1: one international game. We add one by to the season,
Speaker 1: which then does push the Super Bowl up against Presidence
Speaker 1: Day weekend, so we all have Monday off. But that's
Speaker 1: not the point of this. And the way it works
Speaker 1: is as follows. Around the midway point of the season,
Speaker 1: we have a Monday through Sunday week where every single
Speaker 1: day there are in prime time two or throughout the
Speaker 1: day I should say, two or three NFL games from
Speaker 1: different locations around the world. The way you do the
Speaker 1: time zones is, you know, if the game's in Tokyo,
Speaker 1: you figure you have it on you know, the Tuesday
Speaker 1: at noon in Tokyo, which puts it again. I don't
Speaker 1: have the time zones in front of me, But every day,
Speaker 1: around the time you're getting off work, there is a
Speaker 1: football game kicking off. And every day that there is
Speaker 1: the that football game kicking off, it is on a
Speaker 1: different broadcast partner. You can give one to Hulu, you
Speaker 1: can give one to Prime, you give one to Netflix.
Speaker 1: It's at different major soccer stadiums around the world. The
Speaker 1: extra bye week works as follows because of the travel.
Speaker 1: If your game is on early in the week, your
Speaker 1: extra bye week comes the week before. If your game
Speaker 1: is late in the week, your extra bye week comes
Speaker 1: the week after. You remove the competitive imbalance of some
Speaker 1: teams having more homer road games than the other. You
Speaker 1: remove the competitive imbalance of some teams having crazy travel
Speaker 1: that other teams don't, and you can sell every single
Speaker 1: one of these games as a standalone product and make
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of extra revenue that then gets split
Speaker 1: with the players. You grow the game. It's not random.
Speaker 1: It's not like, ah, there's this crumbing nine am game
Speaker 1: in England. It's the regular NFL schedule, and then boom,
Speaker 1: midway through the year, it's international week and this team's
Speaker 1: going to Cape town, and that team's going to Cairo,
Speaker 1: and that team's going to London, and that team's going
Speaker 1: to Rio, and that team's going to Sydney, and you
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: It would generate more money than an eighteenth game because
Speaker 1: you would add the extra week for your major broadcast
Speaker 1: partners through the extra bye week. And again you might
Speaker 1: be like, in a bye week, you don't put games
Speaker 1: on TV. No, you would still have an extra weekend
Speaker 1: of regular season football, and you would sell these games individually.
Speaker 1: And it's just the right plan. And I've had this
Speaker 1: plan for a decade. At some point the NFL. Again,
Speaker 1: you don't have to, it is my intellectual property, but
Speaker 1: I have I have proffered this so much that at
Speaker 1: this point it's just in the public sphere. Just take it.
Speaker 1: You don't have to, you don't have to pay me anything.
Speaker 1: Just take it and everyone will be better off for it.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get some listener questions.
Speaker 2: Uh, great idea, Pops, Actually that was that was nice.
Speaker 2: I think that would work out very well.
Speaker 1: It would be amazing. And could you imagine if every
Speaker 1: day you got off work there was a different NFL
Speaker 1: team kicking off or during the weekday like again, the
Speaker 1: time zones thing you gotta figure out, but you can
Speaker 1: figure that that's not hard.
Speaker 2: So should uh following up on that, should every team
Speaker 2: have their sick second international home?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't. Maybe down the road you
Speaker 1: could kind of have a sister city, you know, for
Speaker 1: each team, but I think dad has to probably happen organically,
Speaker 1: all right, go ahead to the listener questions.
Speaker 2: Scott asked Danny parkins flow of the idea of Casey
Speaker 2: adding Kamara. What are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 1: Danny is a bigger Alvin Kamara fan than anyone I've
Speaker 1: ever met. I listen. I think Kamara is a nice player,
Speaker 1: but he's also an older player. I don't think that's
Speaker 1: gonna happen next Yeah.
Speaker 2: And apparently he has a rush for like a thousand
Speaker 2: yards like in any season.
Speaker 1: No, but he's such a huge receipt.
Speaker 2: He Okay, makes sense.
Speaker 1: So you know what I mean? So his his yards
Speaker 1: from scrimmage are always great.
Speaker 2: So a different Scott ass, Will you be watching for
Speaker 2: Nations Cup tonight?
Speaker 1: I would be if it weren't. I am taking your
Speaker 1: mom and your sisters out for a nice dinner tonight.
Speaker 1: As we've taken the little family meal before your mom
Speaker 1: and I go on vacation. Yeah, so, so otherwise I would.
Speaker 1: I'm in I'm into big events, so even though I'm
Speaker 1: not a big high I like big events, So I
Speaker 1: would watch that. But I'm just not going to tonight
Speaker 1: next bovic.
Speaker 2: Uh, do you think the Chiefs Eagles would end up
Speaker 2: being a bigger rivalry than Chiefs Bills?
Speaker 1: No? No, because they're gonna play at best once every
Speaker 1: three years and Chiefs Bills will play every single year
Speaker 1: because they're both gonna keep winning their division and then
Speaker 1: also maybe play in the playoffs And go to links links.
Speaker 2: Why doesn't any media member discuss the Court of gold Duck.
Speaker 1: Didn't it come out like two days ago?
Speaker 2: It didn't come out pretty recently.
Speaker 1: I've seen it, but yeah, have you watched full episodes
Speaker 1: or you've seen clips? No?
Speaker 2: No, I've actually been watching it on Netflix.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's it's really cool.
Speaker 1: It's just.
Speaker 2: I think it gives you a lot of insight on
Speaker 2: very I think it's been super heavy on Katie so far.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm getting caught in a Lebron moment.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I literally did watch yesterday. But it's just
Speaker 2: just like how important it is?
Speaker 1: What do you mean you're getting caught in the Lebron moment?
Speaker 2: Well, because like you know, they asked Lebron if you
Speaker 2: read the book, and he's.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I believe you.
Speaker 2: But yeah no, I mean it's just really cool to
Speaker 2: be able to play for your for your country, is
Speaker 2: what I'm gathering from the first and Durant.
Speaker 1: The thing that I did see was the Durant kind
Speaker 1: of uh interview where he broke down crying talking about
Speaker 1: how basketball essentially saved his life. Oh that was awesome.
Speaker 1: But so yeah, I just haven't I haven't watched it yet,
Speaker 1: so that's why I haven't discussed it. But Demandy's a
Speaker 1: media member. He discussed it. So there you go. Links
Speaker 1: in it and now someone has disgusted. All right, see
Speaker 1: you guys on TV today at three o'clock. Uh, then
Speaker 1: we're all for a week and we'll be back. Thanks
Speaker 1: to folks at volume Blue Duck. Everybody talk to you
Speaker 1: guys soon. We'll try
