<v Speaker 2>college players basically came to run the NBA from a

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 2>coaching and general managing perspective, it is if you're a

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 2>no better way to spend a few dollars. And if

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 2>you want to know about the modern NBA and kind

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 2>of how the modern NBA came to be, you can

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 2>get it right now, like, yeah, twenty five bucks on Amazon.

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Danny parkins Ben kap If you're a fan of this

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>show and a fan of basketball, I strongly encourage.

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 3>You to buy it.

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 2>And honestly, even if you're a fan of this show

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 2>and a fan of basketball and you're like, but I

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 2>don't read books, buy it anyway. It's twenty five bucks.

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Just buy it anyway. The revenue, the revenue goes. Danny

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>didn't talk about this as much when he was on

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 2>the show, but while Danny was writing this book, his

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 2>brother lost a battle after fighting valiantly to glioblastone, which

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 2>formed brain cancer. So a lot of the money that

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.640
<v Speaker 2>generate from this book is going to go to brain

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:41.679
<v Speaker 2>cancer research.

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:43.239
<v Speaker 3>It's also an awesome book.

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Jeff van Gundy is prominently involved, Mike buden Ulter Bred,

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:51.959
<v Speaker 2>Stevens ring Vogel, Tom Thibodeau, Sam Presty, Greg Popovich, a

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 2>lot of big names. So by Danny Parkins book today

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 2>it is the opening day. Want to move it up

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 2>those charts as hot as far as we can. Also

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:05.920
<v Speaker 2>on today's show, we had quite the weekend because I

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 2>had it's called a vow renewal, but it appeared to

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 2>be a wedding because we didn't have an official wedding

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 2>eleven years ago. The very quick version of it is

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>to Bonse it was maybe I'm trying to think of him,

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 2>the best weekend of my life. Certainly, I think it

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 2>was the best weekend for us collectively as a family.

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.639
<v Speaker 3>We'll talk more about it later, but you go ahead.

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>You were prominently involved, gave got the speeches, kicked off

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 2>and crushed it. So your thoughts on the wedding weekend

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 2>that we just had.

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh, it was amazing. It was amazing, and just being

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 4>able to see all those people that I haven't seen

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 4>or maybe you haven't seen in a long time. Do

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 4>think it was very galvanizing and brought of everybody closer

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 4>and it was like it wasn't even my wedding, and

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 4>it was one of the greatest weekends of my life

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 4>as well. I I'm still feeling so energized from it,

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 4>and it was just good to see everybody and thank

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 4>you for having me be one of your groomsmen. Oh yeah,

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 4>the boot on while I was standing up there, But

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 4>it's perfectly fine. Like I said, it was a nice

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 4>little touch to the wedding or a nice little touch

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 4>to the outfit, should I say, But yeah, no, it

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 4>was amazing.

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 3>It was great, so unbelievable weekend.

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Danny Parkins, who I mentioned before, was another, was co

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 2>best man along with Demanse. So here's what I want

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.159
<v Speaker 2>to do, because today is such a big sports day.

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:42.040
<v Speaker 2>If you have any wedding, vow, renewal, personal life, weekend

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 2>thoughts or questions, that's what we'll do in the C block.

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 2>So I want to respect the audience's busy time because

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 2>we have an awards ballot, we have the playing games,

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 2>we have all that.

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.480
<v Speaker 3>We'll do all of that for the first couple.

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.839
<v Speaker 2>Segments of the show, and then we'll do all things

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 2>wedding related, weekend related, vow renewal related in.

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 3>The sea block.

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.479
<v Speaker 2>So let's get to the top of the show and

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 2>we have win or go home basketball tonight, and then

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:14.159
<v Speaker 2>also win and maybe have to go home basketball tonight.

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 3>Demands lead us off.

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 4>All right, So it seems like everybody in the media

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 4>has got a really bad case of galaxy brain. Everybody's

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 4>just pitching the idea that LA should intentionally lose to

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:28.840
<v Speaker 4>try to face OKC in round one. But do you

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 4>think that's LA's best shot considering they haven't beaten Denver

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 4>since twenty twenty two, but also Denver has also been

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 4>playing their worst basketball over the last month and a

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 4>half or so. But yeah, are you confident that this

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 4>would be yet another Category two take by you? Sorry?

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so let's address all of this. The idea that

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers should throw this game to get on the

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.719
<v Speaker 2>opposite side of the bracket of the as the Nuggets

0:05:55.240 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 2>is wrong on every account. Okay, it's wrong on this

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 2>account because if the way the play in worked was

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 2>there is no nine to ten and the seven eight

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 2>game is just four, the winner gets the seven and

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.600
<v Speaker 2>the loser gets the eight, then I would at least

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:20.559
<v Speaker 2>engage in the thought exercise of it. Where you're locked

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 2>into the playoffs, it's just for seeding, then I would

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.919
<v Speaker 2>engage in the thought exercise of it. I still would

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.039
<v Speaker 2>not endorse it. More on that in a moment, but

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>I would engage in it. But if the Lakers lose

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 2>this game, which they could do by the way, the

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.679
<v Speaker 2>idea that they would lose it intentionally to set up

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.600
<v Speaker 2>a do or die game. That would be either against

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 2>the Kings who swept them this year, the Kings, who

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.599
<v Speaker 2>for some reason, Ad has a lot of trouble with

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>those European centers. Man, now that doesn't bode well for

0:06:58.200 --> 0:06:59.919
<v Speaker 2>him against yok It's more on that in the moment.

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 3>But Sabonus kills him.

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 2>The Kings again, the Kings, and I know the Kings

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 2>don't have Monk, they don't have hurt Her, and the

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Lakers would be favored. The Kings haven't played great lately,

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 2>but that's a Doard eye game against a team that

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 2>has beaten you every time you've played this year, or

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 2>a Doord eye game against Steph Curry, who you just

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:22.239
<v Speaker 2>saw a week ago.

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 3>That team can.

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Have the greatest shooting night in NBA history, which is

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 2>what they did to you a week ago when they

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 2>beat you, when they shot over forty threes and shot

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 2>over sixty percent on them. The idea that you would

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 2>opt into that scenario purely because you're so scared of

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>the Nuggets is ludicrous on its face. But the other

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 2>reason it's ludicrous is this, unless your only hope for

0:07:55.920 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 2>making the finals is well, maybe someone on Denver will

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 2>get hurt, which is a crazy reason to believe you

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 2>can do it. Unless that is your hope or your plan,

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 2>You've got to play them early. Flatly, there is no

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 2>if ands or butts about this point that I said

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:28.679
<v Speaker 2>three weeks ago, and people thought I was going Galaxy brain,

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:35.600
<v Speaker 2>But it is any way you slice it logically sound.

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 2>If you are going to have to play Denver at

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 2>some point to make the NBA Finals, right now is

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 2>when you want them.

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.719
<v Speaker 3>You win tonight, you.

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Will have Wednesday off, Thursday off, Friday off, and then,

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 2>depending on how the bracket is set, maybe Saturday off,

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:02.760
<v Speaker 2>you will have three or four days before Game one.

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 2>The way the first round is spread out, you will

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 2>have two or three days between other games. Lebron is

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 2>currently playing out of his mind. You are healthy, you

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 2>are rolling, you have all of these things working for you.

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 2>So again, you might say, Nick, the Lakers cannot beat

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 2>the Nuggets, and that might be true, okay, but it's

0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 2>obviously not a zero percent chance. And so the question

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 2>is does the chance get bigger? And this is what

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I've been talking about for three weeks. At what point

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 2>in the postseason would you have the best chance of

0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 2>beating them right now? Because you know what the conference

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:08.080
<v Speaker 2>finals are every other day, and that's after thirty nine

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 2>year old year twenty one. Lebron has already been in

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 2>playoff mode for a month and likely exhausted. Why did

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers last year lose all four of those games

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 2>against the Nuggets because they were all close going into

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 2>the fourth, because Lebron ran out of gas.

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 3>Why was that Well, part was.

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Because he was dealing with an injury, but another part

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 2>was because it was six weeks into the playoffs. So

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:47.840
<v Speaker 2>if your goal for the Lakers is simply have the

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 2>playoffs last as long as possible, then yeah, you don't

0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 2>want to play Denver in Round one. But if your

0:10:55.840 --> 0:11:00.080
<v Speaker 2>goal for the Lakers is to have a chance to

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 2>actually make the finals and win a championship. Then you

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 2>have to Then the best thing you can possibly do

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 2>is beat New Orleans tonight and then take Denver on

0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 2>and take your chances and the New Orleans. By the way,

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk about what this game means for

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Zion for a moment, because Zion has had some rough

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 2>moments this year against the Lakers. What a lot of

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:38.560
<v Speaker 2>people thought was kind of the low point of his

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 2>career is too strong, but of his season was that

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 2>playing game against the Lakers when he had thirteen points,

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 2>they got annihilated. In the twenty five minutes he was

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 2>on the court, he was a minus thirty three. I

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't say in the plane in the nd season tournament game,

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:05.079
<v Speaker 2>I misspoke. And the other times that Zion has played

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 2>this year against the Lakers, he played well once or

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:13.080
<v Speaker 2>actually played well twice even though they lost one of

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 2>them got blown out. But then game eighty two, which

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:20.840
<v Speaker 2>was a big game for the Pelicans, Lebron locked him

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 2>up and that was something else. Man Lebron in year

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:30.439
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, age thirty nine, guarding Zion, the athletic phenom,

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 2>number one pick who should be entering his prime, Lebron

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.719
<v Speaker 2>having thirteen assists at halftime doing everything he wants and

0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Zion once again looking out of his depth. There's a

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:46.920
<v Speaker 2>big moment for Zion. It's a big moment. Now flips

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 2>it go ahead demands.

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 4>Along with Zion playing badly or whatever. Anthony Davis has

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 4>played the most games of his career in a career

0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.319
<v Speaker 4>this year, but he's been banged up lately. Do you

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.120
<v Speaker 4>think that's going to be a concern going in to

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 4>the play and further.

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 2>So, so he's been healthy this year. The back spasms

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 2>are obviously a concern because it happened at the tail

0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.359
<v Speaker 2>end of Game eighty two. But I would expect him

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 2>to I mean, he said he's gonna play. I would

0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 2>expect him to play. I don't think that he's going

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 2>to miss this game. And whoever loses this game, obviously

0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 2>we'll have another chance with a home game against either

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Sacramento or a Golden State. But this could be a

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 2>big moment for Zion and the Listen. The Pelicans, much

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 2>like the Timberwolves, are trying to work in their second

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 2>best player and brandon Ingram Karl Anthony Towns, and there

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.560
<v Speaker 2>have been some fits and starts with it. There is

0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.559
<v Speaker 2>one more follow up, Demons, which is kind of about

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 2>the Denver side of things, So let's get to that

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 2>before we move on.

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, on the Denver side, was Wimby's upset of Denver

0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:56.680
<v Speaker 4>the game of the year.

0:13:58.320 --> 0:13:59.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it was the game of the year,

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:04.080
<v Speaker 2>but it was one of the most impactful and important

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.200
<v Speaker 2>results and it's one of the reasons why Denver to me,

0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 2>is a little shaky. They win that game, they control

0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 2>their own destiny for the one seed. They're up seventeen

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:20.040
<v Speaker 2>in the fourth quarter, and the Spurs without DeVante Grahm

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 2>or without Sohan, without somebody else come back and beat them.

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Davante Deavonte Graham obviously he did play. It was Kelten Johnson.

0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Daniel, and so Denver. It's not that Denver's

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 2>played poorly, but Denver's had some odd losses that one

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 2>in particular, and so.

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 4>You think there's just a chance Denver is kind of

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 4>just letting off the gas because they, you know, are

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:46.680
<v Speaker 4>very doubtful.

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 2>No, because they wanted the one seed. They beat Minnesota

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.600
<v Speaker 2>that was supposed to lock up the one seed. Then

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.160
<v Speaker 2>all you gotta do is beat the damn Spurs who

0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>won twenty games this year and weren't even playing all

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 2>their best players because they have such a home court

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 2>advantage with that altitude and all of it. And Denver,

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 2>I understand Denver rightfully so is not scared of anybody.

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Denver does not want the Lakers in Round one, not

0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 2>because they're afraid of them, because that's a pain in

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 2>the ass matchup, you know what I mean, They're.

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 4>Beat them to go into the second round.

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Little exactly right and sound no, no, no, it would be

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 2>the second round you have, right, And so for all

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 2>those reasons, like I'm just the Lakers need to handle

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 2>their business. The other reason Lakers need to win tonight

0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 2>is get those extra time off.

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:40.680
<v Speaker 3>You don't want to.

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Play tonight, you know, you know, go all out lose it.

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Then you're playing in a true game seven scenario Joridi Thursday,

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 2>and then starting off your postseason Sunday. You don't eat

0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 2>with just a couple of days. And so I think

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Lakers will win tonight. I think Lebron this is the

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:05.120
<v Speaker 2>first time Lebron goes into a postseason healthy since they

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 2>won the title. They won the title in twenty twenty

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty one, Solomon Hill had done that somersault into

0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 2>his ankle and he was gimpied that old post or

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 2>that first round, and then Anthony Davis got hurt in

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 2>that first round disaster. Twenty twenty two, they missed the playoffs.

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Twenty twenty three, he was wearing a walking boot shortly

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:34.640
<v Speaker 2>before the postseason demons dealing with that playanner fascia in

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:38.160
<v Speaker 2>his foot. And if you remember last year, the other

0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 2>story last year with the playoffs, sorry I have some

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 2>in my eye was Lebron was having his worst three

0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 2>point shooting season in fifteen years. He had a run

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs where he was like one of twenty

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 2>three from three opposites going on right now where he's

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 2>having the best three point shooting year of his career

0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 2>and Lebron the last seven games he's played he had

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:06.439
<v Speaker 2>a career high or career high season high forty. He

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 2>is averaging thirty seven and ten on sixty three percent

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 2>from the field, fifty one percent from three sow for

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:24.240
<v Speaker 2>those reasons like I don't know, man, it is.

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 3>This is when.

0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.040
<v Speaker 4>Were those stats who just ran off? Again? Those are

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 4>for the last how long?

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Or was that the last the last seven games, copy

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay had thirty points, seven rebounds, ten assists, sixty three

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:45.400
<v Speaker 2>percent from the field, fifty one percent from three Well

0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.400
<v Speaker 2>that because that includes the nine of ten from three games,

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:55.120
<v Speaker 2>and so the and so we'll we'll see. But I

0:17:55.160 --> 0:18:00.159
<v Speaker 2>am I'm optimistic about the Lakers chances tonight, and and

0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.600
<v Speaker 2>they win tonight, and we'll do a full blown Lakers

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Nuggets preview on Thursday.

0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:04.400
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:08.000
<v Speaker 4>Next, I'd head over to the East Coast. The Heat

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 4>headed to the Philly in the seven eight game. Philly's favored,

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.879
<v Speaker 4>but emb just tweaked his knee and you count, can't count?

0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.720
<v Speaker 4>You can count on playoff, Jimmy. Sorry, who should the

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:22.920
<v Speaker 4>Celtics be rooting for? Here? Uh, I'll tell you we

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:24.880
<v Speaker 4>want to play the Heat.

0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.439
<v Speaker 3>You want to, so you go tell me why you

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.200
<v Speaker 3>want to play? You really want?

0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Real quick, we should acknowledge it is for whoever loses

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 2>this game to then lose the next game to Atlanta

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.359
<v Speaker 2>or Chicago. But we're crossing them out. We're saying Atlanta,

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Chicago's got no chance. So you're gonna play either Philly

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.440
<v Speaker 2>or Miami. You say you want Miami?

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:46.840
<v Speaker 3>Why?

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I just think I think that there's a little

0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.160
<v Speaker 4>bit of truth to the playoff, Jimmie, but that craft

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 4>that happened last year, Like, come on, I'm not gonna

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:56.000
<v Speaker 4>have these guys pop out of the world works and

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.119
<v Speaker 4>do all the stuff they did last year. And I

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:01.680
<v Speaker 4>do think the Celtic can get over the hump this year.

0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 4>They're definitely at least not lose to the Heat. But yeah,

0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 4>I think I think Philly with him be back, is

0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.560
<v Speaker 4>a little dangerous. I think that he would stay healthy

0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:15.880
<v Speaker 4>throughout the series. But yeah, no, I'd much I'd much

0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 4>rather play the Heat than than Philly.

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, so be careful what you wish for there, because,

0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 2>by the way, I think you're right.

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 4>I know Philly's playoff experience isn't isn't the best or

0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:30.119
<v Speaker 4>their playoff performance should I say?

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:31.159
<v Speaker 3>So?

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Let me just over the Let me just give you

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:41.240
<v Speaker 2>the Celtics with Tatum and Brown, what it's been like

0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:42.640
<v Speaker 2>in the postseason.

0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:48.119
<v Speaker 3>Okay. In twenty eighteen, they beat the Sixers four games

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:48.480
<v Speaker 3>to one.

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:55.800
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty, they lose to the Heat four games

0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:56.160
<v Speaker 2>to two.

0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:58.960
<v Speaker 3>In twenty twenty.

0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Two, they eat the Heat four to three in a

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:06.080
<v Speaker 2>game that Jimmy Butler in Game seven, had a three

0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.959
<v Speaker 2>pointer to win the game near the buzzer and missed it.

0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.480
<v Speaker 2>And in twenty twenty three they beat the Sixers four

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.120
<v Speaker 2>to three and then lose to the Heat for to three.

0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:19.840
<v Speaker 2>So the Heat played them tough every time and beating

0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:22.240
<v Speaker 2>them twice, the Sixers have.

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:23.520
<v Speaker 3>Never beaten them.

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.199
<v Speaker 2>With all that Skow and I left out sorry in

0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty when they lost to the Heat, they swept

0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:33.159
<v Speaker 2>the Sixers in round one, so there since Tatum and

0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Brown been together, they're three and zero in the playoffs

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:39.119
<v Speaker 2>against the Sixers and one and two against the Heat.

0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 2>With that said, I think you're right that Philly would

0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:48.520
<v Speaker 2>that Boston would rather play Miami, especially because Miami has

0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:55.880
<v Speaker 2>not looked anything like even regl you know, forget playoff Miami,

0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:59.200
<v Speaker 2>anything like regular season Miami over the last.

0:20:59.000 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Couple of years.

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.760
<v Speaker 2>This year they have been They haven't shown you that gear,

0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:07.240
<v Speaker 2>but the embid thing is tricky and I'm interested to

0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:10.160
<v Speaker 2>see it tomorrow because his numbers have been awesome since

0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:13.440
<v Speaker 2>he came back from injury, but he's left a couple

0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:16.040
<v Speaker 2>of games, like he got hurt again and then came back.

0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Injury has been such a big part of the story

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:23.480
<v Speaker 2>of his career. He seems a little heavy right now

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.679
<v Speaker 2>because of you know, all the time off and you

0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:27.320
<v Speaker 2>can't do it.

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:34.280
<v Speaker 3>And so let me ask a different question, like I

0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:35.679
<v Speaker 3>I shouldn't say a different question.

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:39.080
<v Speaker 2>I think it's because it's probably the same answer, like

0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.400
<v Speaker 2>who are the Knicks rooting for tonight because they're gonna

0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:44.200
<v Speaker 2>play the winner? And the answer that is, they're probably

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:49.880
<v Speaker 2>also rooting for Miami. Either way, whether it's Nick's heat,

0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:55.200
<v Speaker 2>which is old school nineties rivalry or Nick sixers, which

0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:58.359
<v Speaker 2>is a nice eighties rivalry, we're gonna get a great

0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:01.520
<v Speaker 2>round one on that side of it. And if it's

0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Boston Miami that has been the story of the Eastern

0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Conference the last you know, gosh, twenty years, it feels

0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:11.800
<v Speaker 2>like dating back to Lebron and the Big Three and

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 2>all of it. Or Boston Philly, which is another all

0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:20.200
<v Speaker 2>time great NBA rivalry Doctor J and Bird, So that'll

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:24.680
<v Speaker 2>be that'll be great. I think Philly has the highest

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:30.359
<v Speaker 2>upside of those teams by far. But we've never seen

0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:34.399
<v Speaker 2>Embiid make Round three. We've never seen Embiid with a

0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:38.000
<v Speaker 2>great playoff run, and it seems like it's always been

0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:44.280
<v Speaker 2>hampered by injury, and so it's just something essentially.

0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 4>So it sounds like you think Philly's fans should be

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:51.480
<v Speaker 4>fairly concerned within beads, within beads health.

0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:54.120
<v Speaker 3>Well yeah, yeah, of course.

0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean you're optimistic that he came back a couple

0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:00.960
<v Speaker 2>weeks for the playoffs. But he he has it as

0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:04.600
<v Speaker 2>great as his numbers are. If you've watched, there have

0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:08.720
<v Speaker 2>been some concerning signs. All right, let's go on to

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:09.360
<v Speaker 2>the Warriors.

0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:13.040
<v Speaker 4>All right, So the Warriors are facing two road elimination

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:17.280
<v Speaker 4>games just to make the playoffs. The first comes against Sacramento,

0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:20.200
<v Speaker 4>and that one's tonight. But win or not, you've got

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:22.440
<v Speaker 4>no you've got no faith at Golden State will want

0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:25.120
<v Speaker 4>to ring. How far do the Warriors have to make

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:27.600
<v Speaker 4>it through this playoff run or run it back next year?

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's a great question. So let's just play this out.

0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:42.400
<v Speaker 2>They beat Sacramento and they beat New Orleans or the Lakers,

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:52.199
<v Speaker 2>then they would be playing. Okay, see they beat them,

0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:56.040
<v Speaker 2>if they do all of that, make it round two

0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:58.399
<v Speaker 2>like they did last year, but that includes, you know,

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:03.240
<v Speaker 2>upsetting the number one seed, then maybe they run it back.

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:06.440
<v Speaker 3>If they do all of that and then beat.

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:10.200
<v Speaker 2>The Clippers or the MAVs in round two and make

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:14.040
<v Speaker 2>the conference finals, then they definitely run it back. But

0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:18.800
<v Speaker 2>none of that matters because they're not winning tonight. Like

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:23.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm ok I and the Kings. I understand the Kings

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:27.919
<v Speaker 2>have not been good since the injuries. I don't dispute that,

0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:36.240
<v Speaker 2>But in the Warriors. After the Warriors beat the Lakers,

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:39.560
<v Speaker 2>they had it all sitting out there for him. As

0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:41.439
<v Speaker 2>long as they went three and oh the rest of

0:24:41.480 --> 0:24:43.960
<v Speaker 2>the way, they were gonna move up to the seven eight.

0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:47.320
<v Speaker 2>They were in great position to, you know, I have

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:51.680
<v Speaker 2>two chances to win one. And what they did after

0:24:51.720 --> 0:24:56.040
<v Speaker 2>that was they played a Portland team that was two

0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:59.920
<v Speaker 2>and twelve in its previous fourteen, that was not tru

0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 2>trying to win games, and that game was tied with

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:09.000
<v Speaker 2>six minutes left. They escape with a victory and have

0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 2>to play STEPH thirty seven minutes to get it, and

0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:16.880
<v Speaker 2>then the very next night they play a New Orleans

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 2>team and get beat and now they find themselves as

0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:27.639
<v Speaker 2>the ten seed going to Sacramento, where if you're a

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Kings fan, winning tonight and eliminating the Warriors would honestly

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:40.479
<v Speaker 2>probably be the best moment for your franchise in twenty years,

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:42.919
<v Speaker 2>even if you lose.

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 3>In the next round and lose the next game.

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and because you get to say de moon day,

0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:48.880
<v Speaker 2>because I.

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:51.840
<v Speaker 3>Think that if the Warriors lose tonight.

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:56.840
<v Speaker 4>Oh this is why we split that team up, right, Yes.

0:25:56.200 --> 0:26:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the last game ever Steph Clay and Draymond together

0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:03.440
<v Speaker 2>could be.

0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:07.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:10.440
<v Speaker 3>Think about that, man, that like that.

0:26:10.560 --> 0:26:15.199
<v Speaker 2>Is to I don't I don't think this has gotten

0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:17.920
<v Speaker 2>I shouldn't say enough coverage because we just got set.

0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:21.600
<v Speaker 2>We just you know, on Friday, as of Friday evening,

0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:23.159
<v Speaker 2>we thought the Warriors were going to be in the.

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Seventy eight potential a lot of time.

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I the Warriors are two and a half point favorites

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:34.600
<v Speaker 2>to night, So there's this, you know, they're slight favorites.

0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:37.600
<v Speaker 2>It's not quite a coin flip according to Vegas, but

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:38.680
<v Speaker 2>it's close, right.

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 3>So.

0:26:42.080 --> 0:26:47.680
<v Speaker 2>There is around a coin flip's chance that the final

0:26:47.880 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 2>game that Klay Thompson and Steph Curry ever play together

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:56.760
<v Speaker 2>as teammates is in ten hours.

0:26:57.240 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 4>They're the biggest time, one of the.

0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Greatest ds ever, right, Yes, one of the greatest dynasties

0:27:05.400 --> 0:27:07.280
<v Speaker 2>in NBA history are.

0:27:09.320 --> 0:27:10.160
<v Speaker 3>In this order.

0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:16.480
<v Speaker 2>The Russell Celtics eleven titles in thirteen years. I'm doing

0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:18.360
<v Speaker 2>this off the top of my head, but I'll get it.

0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:23.359
<v Speaker 2>The Russell Celtics eight straight titles, eleven titles in thirteen years.

0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:28.000
<v Speaker 2>They're number one with a bullet right. The second greatest

0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:33.800
<v Speaker 2>dynasty ever are Jordan's Bulls six titles in eight years.

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:40.800
<v Speaker 2>The third greatest dynasty ever are the Magic and Kareem

0:27:41.880 --> 0:27:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Lakers where five titles in a decade, And the fourth

0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 2>greatest dynasty ever are the Steph Clay Draymond Warriors where

0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:04.119
<v Speaker 2>they won four rings, went to six finals in eight years.

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 2>And then rounding out the top five would be the

0:28:07.800 --> 0:28:12.879
<v Speaker 2>Shaq Kobe Lakers. Three straight titles, four finals overall in

0:28:12.920 --> 0:28:18.359
<v Speaker 2>five years. So the greatest dynasty this league has seen

0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:28.240
<v Speaker 2>since the nineties. And you could see the final last

0:28:28.359 --> 0:28:34.040
<v Speaker 2>gasp of it this evening. And by the way, the

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:35.720
<v Speaker 2>other layer to that is.

0:28:35.680 --> 0:28:40.400
<v Speaker 3>This, if they get cooked, not if they get cooked.

0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:41.560
<v Speaker 3>If they lose.

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:46.920
<v Speaker 2>And Clay's a free agent and signs elsewhere, what does

0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Steph do.

0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:49.520
<v Speaker 4>What?

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:52.760
<v Speaker 2>And we've talked about this before, like does Steph say

0:28:53.480 --> 0:28:55.320
<v Speaker 2>and he can do whatever he wants, But does Steph

0:28:55.440 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 2>prioritize the best possible chance at winning more championships.

0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:05.560
<v Speaker 4>Or goes and plays with Lebron gives them a lethal shooter.

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well that's yeah, that would be Listen.

0:29:09.120 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't want Lebron to stay with the Lakers for

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:13.040
<v Speaker 2>the rest of his career, and I don't want Steph

0:29:13.120 --> 0:29:14.880
<v Speaker 2>stay with the Warriors for the rest of their career.

0:29:15.320 --> 0:29:19.880
<v Speaker 2>My favorite fantasy scenario is because the only way Stephen

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Lebron could ever team up is on like neutral ground. Like,

0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Steph's not going to go to Lebron's teaming. Lebron's not

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:29.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna go to Steph's team. So the team that makes

0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:31.840
<v Speaker 2>the most sense demand's for them to do it is

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:33.680
<v Speaker 2>the Charlotte Hornets.

0:29:34.480 --> 0:29:39.760
<v Speaker 3>And here's why Steph is from there. His dad played there.

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Steph gets to do a little homecoming, and Lebron gets

0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:46.440
<v Speaker 2>to be like, hey, Michael Jordan ran this team for

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:51.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty years, made the playoffs once, and we're a trash franchise.

0:29:51.560 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 2>All come here at forty years old and show you

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 2>what winning basketball looks like. That's a dream scenario, not

0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen. But the point is, does you know what

0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:03.320
<v Speaker 2>is Steph? What matters the most? Steph and there's no

0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:09.000
<v Speaker 2>judgment there, but finishing his career with the Warriors and

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:15.680
<v Speaker 2>winning championships are now contradictory ideas. All right, very quickly,

0:30:15.760 --> 0:30:18.160
<v Speaker 2>let's go on to the Masters corner just for a moment.

0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:22.720
<v Speaker 4>All right, it's time for the golf corner. Couldn't they

0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:25.520
<v Speaker 4>have any corner I'd rather be in? Sure, Scottie Scheffler

0:30:25.560 --> 0:30:28.280
<v Speaker 4>won the Masters, But could he beat me in Golden

0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:31.520
<v Speaker 4>te The answer is no. Fill everybody in on what

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:32.680
<v Speaker 4>happened this weekend?

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean what happened this weekend is the best

0:30:36.600 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 2>player in the world played like it and ran away

0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 2>with the Masters, and he turned a one shot lead

0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:46.960
<v Speaker 2>going into Sunday into kind of a snoozer by the

0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:51.480
<v Speaker 2>second half of the back nine, Birdie's fourteen or fifteen

0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:55.800
<v Speaker 2>and sixteen other guys kind of fell apart. The non

0:30:55.840 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Scheffler stories, of course, Tiger who played a great Friday round,

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:05.600
<v Speaker 2>great even part and terrible condition, brutal conditions to break

0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:07.760
<v Speaker 2>the record for most consecutive made cuts.

0:31:07.800 --> 0:31:11.560
<v Speaker 3>And then immediately, you know, you.

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Know, his body gave out what he gave it as

0:31:14.040 --> 0:31:15.720
<v Speaker 2>all that, and then he finished in the last place

0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:17.760
<v Speaker 2>of all the people who did make the cut. There

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:24.200
<v Speaker 2>is a weird Lebron Tiger make the cut at the

0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Masters play the Nuggets in round one corollary of is

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:31.480
<v Speaker 2>there a scenario where the Lakers do get the Nuggets

0:31:31.520 --> 0:31:38.280
<v Speaker 2>in round one? Lebron empties the entire clip, knocks off

0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:42.080
<v Speaker 2>the Nuggets and then just gets beaten in round two

0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 2>by either Phoenix or Minnesota or who you know what

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:45.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Like.

0:31:45.600 --> 0:31:49.640
<v Speaker 3>Does it like that is the cause?

0:31:49.640 --> 0:31:52.920
<v Speaker 2>That's kind of like Tiger played great for the first

0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:56.000
<v Speaker 2>two rounds and then finished in dead last in the tournament.

0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Like it was really he clearly had a goal reached it.

0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:03.560
<v Speaker 4>And we were watching the Masters up in that room

0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:05.160
<v Speaker 4>and I saw his name on the thing and I

0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:07.240
<v Speaker 4>was like, oh, he's placed, but it was just because

0:32:07.280 --> 0:32:09.280
<v Speaker 4>he was golfing and he was actually like sixty third

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 4>at the time or something like that.

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, you know, that's exactly right, Demonsi's like, oh, that's

0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 2>the first time I've seen Tiger's name on the leaderboard

0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:17.320
<v Speaker 2>because we were watching the Masters in the room before

0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:20.320
<v Speaker 2>the wedding, and I'm like, well, they're just showing his

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:22.960
<v Speaker 2>name because he's on screen, but he's actually in last place,

0:32:24.240 --> 0:32:30.800
<v Speaker 2>which wasn't great, so but listen, Scotty Scheffler is unbelievable.

0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:39.440
<v Speaker 2>I also would caution folks when it comes to, oh,

0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:43.520
<v Speaker 2>how many majors is he gonna win? He's now at two,

0:32:44.760 --> 0:32:48.000
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like I've been here before with guys

0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 2>that were like, oh my god, how are they not

0:32:50.360 --> 0:32:50.800
<v Speaker 2>going to win?

0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Seven? Eight, nine.

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Rory had a run like this and then just went away.

0:32:59.480 --> 0:33:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Rory from twenty eleven to twenty fourteen won four majors.

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Has not won one since brooks Koepka. At one point

0:33:10.880 --> 0:33:12.880
<v Speaker 2>in time, it looked like, oh, he's just gonna win

0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:16.120
<v Speaker 2>the PGA every year, and by the way, he did

0:33:16.160 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 2>win it last year. Brooks Koepka from twenty seventeen through

0:33:22.400 --> 0:33:29.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty nineteen won four majors. Since then, twenty twenty to

0:33:29.240 --> 0:33:31.960
<v Speaker 2>now has won one.

0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:38.200
<v Speaker 3>Like getting to five is wildly difficult.

0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Modern era golfers with five, I'll tell you who they

0:33:43.280 --> 0:33:46.960
<v Speaker 2>are and how many they have. Nicholas of course, eighteen,

0:33:47.760 --> 0:33:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Tiger fifteen, Ben Hogan, if you call him modern era,

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I will you know what, We'll just go World War

0:33:55.200 --> 0:33:58.120
<v Speaker 2>two to now. That's a good time frame. So we've

0:33:58.160 --> 0:34:02.520
<v Speaker 2>got eighty years of golf here's everyone in that timeframe

0:34:02.520 --> 0:34:04.880
<v Speaker 2>who has five and Demonsey. You might be like, why

0:34:04.880 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 2>are we, you know, going that far back and not

0:34:07.200 --> 0:34:09.680
<v Speaker 2>just do the whole history, because when you look at

0:34:10.040 --> 0:34:13.480
<v Speaker 2>all time major championship winners, you get names like this,

0:34:14.080 --> 0:34:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Tom Morris Senior, who won four British opens from eighteen

0:34:18.400 --> 0:34:22.399
<v Speaker 2>sixty one to eighteen sixty seven, and then demonse by

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:25.600
<v Speaker 2>the way, you know who won four of the next

0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:30.280
<v Speaker 2>five British opens after Tom Morris Senior from eighteen sixty

0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:31.799
<v Speaker 2>eight to eighteen seventy two.

0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:34.279
<v Speaker 3>Hold on, you can guess this.

0:34:34.360 --> 0:34:37.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say it again, exact same information and I'm

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:42.080
<v Speaker 2>just going to change the tone of my voice. From

0:34:42.120 --> 0:34:47.440
<v Speaker 2>eighteen sixty one to eighteen sixty seven, Tom Morris Senior

0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:52.560
<v Speaker 2>won four British opens from eighteen sixty eight to eighteen

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 2>seventy two. Who do you think won four British opens?

0:34:58.120 --> 0:35:03.040
<v Speaker 3>Tom Morris, Tom or the junior? Nail it? There you go,

0:35:03.640 --> 0:35:05.080
<v Speaker 3>you got it exactly right.

0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:09.360
<v Speaker 2>So the old golf records we go to and so

0:35:09.920 --> 0:35:11.960
<v Speaker 2>you have Willie Parks and you got Willie. We're not

0:35:12.000 --> 0:35:14.439
<v Speaker 2>gonna do those guys, so but nailed at good job.

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Hell World War two to now. Full list of guys

0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:26.400
<v Speaker 2>with at least five Nicholas eighteen, Tiger fifteen, Ben Hogan nine,

0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Gary Player nine, Tom Watson eight, Sam Snead seven, Arnold

0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Palmer seven, Lee Trevino six, Nick Foudo and Phil Mickelson six.

0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:54.960
<v Speaker 2>And then, okay, sorry, Peter Thompson five, seventy five.

0:35:55.120 --> 0:35:59.600
<v Speaker 3>Brooks Koepka five. That's it. Oh, that's rude.

0:36:00.200 --> 0:36:03.239
<v Speaker 2>Give me a damn history lesson after brooks Kopka's Tom

0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Morris Senior and junior.

0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:07.719
<v Speaker 4>So I would say it's interesting.

0:36:09.000 --> 0:36:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I would because you like his iced teas. Oh, and

0:36:11.160 --> 0:36:12.960
<v Speaker 2>shout out to the Blue Dog folks for sending me

0:36:13.040 --> 0:36:14.080
<v Speaker 2>the iced ts for the wedding.

0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:14.839
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate it.

0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:19.680
<v Speaker 2>I would set the Scotti Scheffler Career Majors over affair

0:36:19.840 --> 0:36:23.280
<v Speaker 2>over under at four and a half. It's really hard

0:36:23.320 --> 0:36:26.080
<v Speaker 2>to get to five guys. All right, my NBA Awards

0:36:26.120 --> 0:36:27.239
<v Speaker 2>ballot next, what's right?

0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:35.759
<v Speaker 3>All right? Welcome back in We'll Driving the right Episode two.

0:36:35.800 --> 0:36:36.399
<v Speaker 3>Twenty nine.

0:36:36.640 --> 0:36:40.560
<v Speaker 2>NBA Awards ballots are due by six pm today. I

0:36:40.640 --> 0:36:42.520
<v Speaker 2>don't have to worry about that deadline because I don't

0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:50.840
<v Speaker 2>have one. Honestly, what the come on, NBAPR. I've put

0:36:50.880 --> 0:36:56.680
<v Speaker 2>my time in, I have shown my expertise and dedication.

0:36:57.520 --> 0:37:01.400
<v Speaker 2>One hundred and twenty people have a ballot the idea

0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:03.319
<v Speaker 2>that I don't have one it.

0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:06.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm not gonna say hate it with your lebron bias.

0:37:08.120 --> 0:37:11.399
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, so that's interesting. So we're gonna talk

0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:13.359
<v Speaker 2>about that in a moment, because I do think there's

0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:17.000
<v Speaker 2>some bias happening here, but not in the direction people think.

0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:18.440
<v Speaker 3>But let's get right to it.

0:37:18.520 --> 0:37:22.719
<v Speaker 2>Demon's uh so, what's the first award we're gonna start with.

0:37:23.280 --> 0:37:26.680
<v Speaker 4>Uh So, we'll hit MVP first, and your ballot is

0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:28.839
<v Speaker 4>I think for those watching on YouTube, we're gonna show

0:37:28.880 --> 0:37:31.239
<v Speaker 4>up a little graphic and those listening on the on

0:37:31.320 --> 0:37:34.000
<v Speaker 4>the app, you got Luke at one. Do you want

0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:36.160
<v Speaker 4>to go one by one or just go off you five?

0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:36.600
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:38.120
<v Speaker 3>You go you?

0:37:38.120 --> 0:37:42.719
<v Speaker 4>Ok at two? You got Sga at three, Giannis at four,

0:37:42.840 --> 0:37:44.120
<v Speaker 4>and Brunson at five.

0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:51.719
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So Brunson shout out to him.

0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:58.319
<v Speaker 2>The Knicks, despite the injuries, despite not having another in

0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:04.160
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, all star lovel player, Jalen Brunson, like.

0:38:04.200 --> 0:38:07.280
<v Speaker 3>True all star level player, carried them to fifty wins.

0:38:08.320 --> 0:38:11.680
<v Speaker 2>He to me is like a better version of the

0:38:11.719 --> 0:38:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Celtics Isaiah Thomas the year he came in fifth place

0:38:15.160 --> 0:38:20.000
<v Speaker 2>in MVP voting, Except he's better than the it and sturdier,

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 2>and I'm okay with him taking Tatum spot on the

0:38:25.719 --> 0:38:30.359
<v Speaker 2>MVP ballot. Giannis, despite the team being under you know,

0:38:30.400 --> 0:38:35.839
<v Speaker 2>a little underwhelming his numbers or bananas Sga, had an

0:38:36.000 --> 0:38:40.360
<v Speaker 2>MVP caliber season, carrying the Thunder to a one seed

0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:46.719
<v Speaker 2>and being the only superstar on that team. But he

0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:51.440
<v Speaker 2>dealt with two historic years by two historic players in.

0:38:51.520 --> 0:38:56.120
<v Speaker 3>Luke and Jokic. And ultimately.

0:38:57.440 --> 0:39:01.720
<v Speaker 2>What broke the tie for me because Lounjokic were that close,

0:39:02.680 --> 0:39:08.319
<v Speaker 2>was the unprecedented nature of what Luca did this year.

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:13.960
<v Speaker 2>The only players since the merger to average more points

0:39:14.000 --> 0:39:19.240
<v Speaker 2>per game than Luca in any season. Harden did it twice,

0:39:19.840 --> 0:39:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Kobe did it once, Jordan did it twice. You then

0:39:24.880 --> 0:39:30.120
<v Speaker 2>add he did it efficiently with nine rebounds and nine

0:39:30.160 --> 0:39:35.799
<v Speaker 2>assists a game. And and this part is key. We

0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 2>have never seen Kyrie Irving be a consistent part of

0:39:41.320 --> 0:39:47.560
<v Speaker 2>winning without Lebron James guiding him. And I thought that

0:39:47.640 --> 0:39:50.600
<v Speaker 2>this MAVs team was not going to be able to

0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:53.520
<v Speaker 2>and demon' say that's we have a decade of Kyrie's

0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:58.000
<v Speaker 2>career before and after Lebron where he just wasn't couldn't

0:39:58.080 --> 0:40:02.200
<v Speaker 2>be a part of winning, and Luca helped unlock the

0:40:02.200 --> 0:40:06.399
<v Speaker 2>best of Kyrie. They played excellent too with each other.

0:40:06.760 --> 0:40:08.319
<v Speaker 2>The last two months of the year, they might have

0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:11.239
<v Speaker 2>been the best team in the league. So so I

0:40:11.360 --> 0:40:14.719
<v Speaker 2>gave Luca the slight not over, yo, Kich, go ahead.

0:40:15.040 --> 0:40:17.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean a few points with with your list here,

0:40:19.320 --> 0:40:21.279
<v Speaker 4>So do you think it's fair to give Luca full

0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:25.120
<v Speaker 4>credit for Kyrie? Also? Along with that, like Luca has

0:40:25.239 --> 0:40:29.080
<v Speaker 4>Kyrie on his team and like the other guys, and

0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:38.000
<v Speaker 4>he like a right right, Yeah, he's the two seed

0:40:38.080 --> 0:40:40.200
<v Speaker 4>with that team. Okay, fair, I understand.

0:40:40.280 --> 0:40:42.560
<v Speaker 2>But but they won the same amount of games they

0:40:42.560 --> 0:40:45.080
<v Speaker 2>both want, you know, and one team, you know, the

0:40:45.560 --> 0:40:49.560
<v Speaker 2>West was so much tougher, and so the Dallas won

0:40:49.680 --> 0:40:54.200
<v Speaker 2>fifty and the Knicks one fifty, And so I the

0:40:55.360 --> 0:40:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I I shouldn't I want I'm I think

0:40:58.000 --> 0:41:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Brunson had an amazing year. There's no way you can

0:41:00.760 --> 0:41:03.040
<v Speaker 2>argue Brunton is the MVP of the league.

0:41:03.120 --> 0:41:04.479
<v Speaker 3>But go ahead, keep going.

0:41:05.400 --> 0:41:08.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so you're okay with Luca being the five seed,

0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:11.080
<v Speaker 4>And when a couple of years ago or no, last year,

0:41:11.120 --> 0:41:13.360
<v Speaker 4>you had issues with Jokic being six.

0:41:15.280 --> 0:41:15.919
<v Speaker 3>Two years ago?

0:41:15.960 --> 0:41:16.120
<v Speaker 4>Is right?

0:41:16.200 --> 0:41:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Hold on, let me let me respond to that. Well,

0:41:19.880 --> 0:41:27.200
<v Speaker 2>this is now like a circular logic, right, you can't

0:41:27.400 --> 0:41:33.319
<v Speaker 2>argue the door was open fairly for Jokic, but no

0:41:33.360 --> 0:41:36.880
<v Speaker 2>one else can walk through it, Like I did not

0:41:37.280 --> 0:41:41.000
<v Speaker 2>like a six seed winning league MVP a couple of

0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:46.120
<v Speaker 2>years ago, but now that precedent has been set, Like,

0:41:46.280 --> 0:41:49.560
<v Speaker 2>so what are we talking about the If if Jokic

0:41:49.760 --> 0:41:53.799
<v Speaker 2>hadn't won that MVP, then yeah, then Luca maybe would

0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:55.600
<v Speaker 2>be fairly not really eligible.

0:41:55.920 --> 0:41:59.360
<v Speaker 3>But he did. And now two of the last seven.

0:41:59.200 --> 0:42:02.200
<v Speaker 2>MVPs have been six seeds because Russ one of those

0:42:02.239 --> 0:42:06.120
<v Speaker 2>sixth seed and Jokic did. And I will say something

0:42:06.160 --> 0:42:11.600
<v Speaker 2>else that Jokicic fans might and Daniel might not like,

0:42:11.680 --> 0:42:14.799
<v Speaker 2>others might not like, but I'm totally comfortable with it.

0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:18.080
<v Speaker 2>And this is what I said last year about Himbeid.

0:42:20.400 --> 0:42:25.200
<v Speaker 2>If it is Razor thin, I am totally fine with

0:42:25.840 --> 0:42:30.400
<v Speaker 2>it going to the guy who hasn't won one yet now,

0:42:31.160 --> 0:42:35.000
<v Speaker 2>unlike years past, if Jokic wins it, I got no

0:42:35.000 --> 0:42:40.000
<v Speaker 2>problem with it. The guy has a more than credible

0:42:40.080 --> 0:42:43.200
<v Speaker 2>case as the single best player in the league. They're

0:42:43.239 --> 0:42:46.399
<v Speaker 2>the scariest team in the league. He is the key

0:42:46.440 --> 0:42:51.720
<v Speaker 2>to everything. The guys with three MVPs are Magic Bird

0:42:51.880 --> 0:42:58.960
<v Speaker 2>and Moses. Jokich is already better than Moses. Probably he's

0:42:59.000 --> 0:43:02.200
<v Speaker 2>at least yeah, yeah, yeah, probably he probably is. And

0:43:02.280 --> 0:43:06.600
<v Speaker 2>so if that he deserves to be in that.

0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:10.399
<v Speaker 4>I think where the Nuggets, those two to those two

0:43:10.400 --> 0:43:12.240
<v Speaker 4>back to back MVPs that you'll get, you got.

0:43:13.239 --> 0:43:16.080
<v Speaker 2>So they were the sixth seed for his second MVP

0:43:17.040 --> 0:43:20.480
<v Speaker 2>and they were the three seed for his first MVP.

0:43:21.760 --> 0:43:24.759
<v Speaker 4>So so Lucas sandwiched in between the two.

0:43:24.719 --> 0:43:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Of those, correct, and and so. But again, like I

0:43:31.640 --> 0:43:34.239
<v Speaker 2>I think Luca was had the best season of anybody.

0:43:35.960 --> 0:43:38.879
<v Speaker 2>I think that Jokic it's like a.

0:43:38.840 --> 0:43:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Fifty one forty nine thing.

0:43:41.800 --> 0:43:45.319
<v Speaker 2>And SGA is a in my opinion, and I know

0:43:45.760 --> 0:43:48.400
<v Speaker 2>thunder fans probably be upset with me on this. I

0:43:48.400 --> 0:43:51.960
<v Speaker 2>think SGA and he won't be clearly he'll get some

0:43:52.040 --> 0:43:54.279
<v Speaker 2>first place votes, but I think he should be a

0:43:54.560 --> 0:44:00.000
<v Speaker 2>unanimous third place, meaning there is no way you can

0:44:00.120 --> 0:44:03.239
<v Speaker 2>vote him lower than third. But I also don't think

0:44:03.280 --> 0:44:06.279
<v Speaker 2>there you can make a case he was better than

0:44:06.400 --> 0:44:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Luca or Jokic.

0:44:09.719 --> 0:44:10.600
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, ahead, let's go.

0:44:11.160 --> 0:44:13.480
<v Speaker 4>They have the best record, and you don't have Tatum

0:44:13.480 --> 0:44:15.439
<v Speaker 4>on here. Do you have him right outside at six

0:44:15.560 --> 0:44:16.400
<v Speaker 4>or what's what's.

0:44:16.800 --> 0:44:18.800
<v Speaker 3>So he would be right outside at six?

0:44:19.000 --> 0:44:21.680
<v Speaker 2>And you'll see on when it comes to first team

0:44:21.760 --> 0:44:25.920
<v Speaker 2>All NBA, I give Tatum some love. So it's a

0:44:25.920 --> 0:44:30.440
<v Speaker 2>little contradictory to some people to not have your MVP

0:44:30.640 --> 0:44:32.760
<v Speaker 2>ballot be the same as your first team All NBA.

0:44:33.960 --> 0:44:39.280
<v Speaker 2>But I am doing some lifting on Jalen Brunson's value

0:44:39.440 --> 0:44:43.800
<v Speaker 2>because of what the team situation was versus Tatum's team

0:44:44.040 --> 0:44:50.120
<v Speaker 2>overall being so dominant and overwhelming, And so I just

0:44:50.160 --> 0:44:54.160
<v Speaker 2>thought those five guys had better seasons than Tatum. All right,

0:44:54.280 --> 0:44:56.000
<v Speaker 2>let's go to the defensive player of the year.

0:44:57.160 --> 0:45:00.480
<v Speaker 4>For defensive Player of the year, you've got Anthony Davis

0:45:00.520 --> 0:45:03.759
<v Speaker 4>at one, You've got Wimby at two, and then you've

0:45:03.800 --> 0:45:07.240
<v Speaker 4>got Gobert at three. Just saw it really sad story

0:45:07.239 --> 0:45:08.399
<v Speaker 4>about that guy.

0:45:08.880 --> 0:45:12.400
<v Speaker 2>So oh, I did two about his family. Now I

0:45:12.520 --> 0:45:14.560
<v Speaker 2>saw it just briefly. Is that the thing that go

0:45:14.640 --> 0:45:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Bear's party. I didn't read the whole stories, so I

0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:19.360
<v Speaker 2>want to miss quote. But it seems like when Rudy

0:45:19.480 --> 0:45:23.600
<v Speaker 2>was a child, he dealt with some horrible racism from

0:45:23.640 --> 0:45:27.960
<v Speaker 2>inside his own family, which is just about as sad

0:45:28.000 --> 0:45:29.520
<v Speaker 2>as it gets. I haven't read that whole story, but

0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I saw it too, all right. So here's the deal.

0:45:36.600 --> 0:45:41.640
<v Speaker 2>The Lakers team defense has been average this year. Without

0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis, it's a total and utter train wreck. I

0:45:47.480 --> 0:45:54.239
<v Speaker 2>think he is the best most impactful defender in the league.

0:45:54.360 --> 0:45:57.360
<v Speaker 2>And the fact that Gobert's won this award three times

0:45:57.400 --> 0:46:02.120
<v Speaker 2>already and Wimby's team won two Winny games or twenty

0:46:02.160 --> 0:46:04.400
<v Speaker 2>one games is enough for me to give it to

0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis and the fact and people can dislike this,

0:46:09.360 --> 0:46:12.480
<v Speaker 2>but this is part of the math that I have

0:46:12.640 --> 0:46:17.840
<v Speaker 2>on it. If Anthony Davis doesn't win this year, I

0:46:17.840 --> 0:46:21.359
<v Speaker 2>don't know when he's gonna win, because as soon as

0:46:22.360 --> 0:46:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Wimby's team is decent, he's just gonna win. I don't know,

0:46:27.680 --> 0:46:29.880
<v Speaker 2>five straight, six straight, Like I don't I don't know

0:46:29.880 --> 0:46:32.879
<v Speaker 2>what's gonna stop him from winning Defensive Player of the Year.

0:46:33.400 --> 0:46:36.080
<v Speaker 2>So all three of these guys are more than worthy.

0:46:37.200 --> 0:46:41.479
<v Speaker 2>I think that because the entirety of the Lakers being

0:46:41.719 --> 0:46:47.200
<v Speaker 2>passable defensively rests on Anthony Davis's shoulders, I'm gonna give

0:46:47.200 --> 0:46:52.000
<v Speaker 2>it to him, and.

0:46:52.800 --> 0:46:54.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah on all the follow ups.

0:46:54.960 --> 0:46:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, now, before we get to the All NBA teams,

0:46:58.640 --> 0:47:01.040
<v Speaker 2>by the way, a reminder in the chat if you

0:47:01.040 --> 0:47:04.520
<v Speaker 2>have any questions about the wedding or vow renewal, anything

0:47:04.640 --> 0:47:07.240
<v Speaker 2>personal life related, we'll get to those in the C block.

0:47:07.600 --> 0:47:10.760
<v Speaker 2>But now the really fun stuff, the All NBA teams.

0:47:10.840 --> 0:47:13.920
<v Speaker 4>Let's do it, all right, So for your first team,

0:47:14.000 --> 0:47:18.760
<v Speaker 4>you've got Luca Sga, Eannis, Tatum, Jokic.

0:47:19.760 --> 0:47:22.200
<v Speaker 3>All right, so let's start. Oh no, no, no, don't

0:47:22.200 --> 0:47:22.480
<v Speaker 3>do that.

0:47:22.560 --> 0:47:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Let's just so let's just start there and go from

0:47:28.640 --> 0:47:35.759
<v Speaker 2>go from there. So Luca Sga, Yanni's, Tatum Jokic. To me,

0:47:37.360 --> 0:47:43.280
<v Speaker 2>that is incredibly easy. Everyone is going to have Luca

0:47:43.480 --> 0:47:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Sga and Jokic and then Jannis, Tatum and Brunson are

0:47:48.120 --> 0:47:51.719
<v Speaker 2>going to be the three guys for two spots. But

0:47:51.840 --> 0:47:57.399
<v Speaker 2>the Celtics were a sixty plus win utter juggernaut, and

0:47:57.480 --> 0:48:01.439
<v Speaker 2>because of that, in my opinion, they have to have

0:48:01.600 --> 0:48:03.959
<v Speaker 2>to at least they have to have someone on first

0:48:03.960 --> 0:48:07.000
<v Speaker 2>team All NBA. So I kind of split the baby

0:48:07.040 --> 0:48:10.280
<v Speaker 2>to be fair and put Tatum first Team All NBA

0:48:10.680 --> 0:48:14.240
<v Speaker 2>and put Brunson second team All NBA, with Brunson getting

0:48:14.239 --> 0:48:18.560
<v Speaker 2>the fifth MVP spot. All right, now to second team,

0:48:19.600 --> 0:48:23.000
<v Speaker 2>where I have Brunson and Edwards is my guards. And

0:48:23.080 --> 0:48:27.040
<v Speaker 2>I know that it can be positionless, but I wanted

0:48:27.080 --> 0:48:29.479
<v Speaker 2>to at least for the first and second team stick

0:48:29.560 --> 0:48:32.520
<v Speaker 2>with two guards, two forwards in a center. Brunton and

0:48:32.640 --> 0:48:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Edwards are my guards. Lebron and Durant are my forwards,

0:48:36.480 --> 0:48:40.560
<v Speaker 2>and Anthony Davis is my center. Anthony Edwards, I think

0:48:40.560 --> 0:48:44.239
<v Speaker 2>it speaks for himself. They were in contented for the

0:48:44.239 --> 0:48:46.600
<v Speaker 2>one seed. He had some of the moments of the year.

0:48:47.040 --> 0:48:50.600
<v Speaker 2>His numbers are unbelievable and he more than kept them

0:48:50.600 --> 0:48:55.680
<v Speaker 2>afloat without Karl Anthony Towns. We already have talked about Brunson,

0:48:57.239 --> 0:48:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis my defensive player of the years. Offensive numbers

0:48:59.840 --> 0:49:05.239
<v Speaker 2>are great. So it's really about Lebron, Durant and Kawhi

0:49:06.080 --> 0:49:10.440
<v Speaker 2>two of those three guys to get the final forward

0:49:10.520 --> 0:49:15.040
<v Speaker 2>spot or the final two forward spots. And I think

0:49:15.040 --> 0:49:20.680
<v Speaker 2>it is crazy how many people have Lebron third team.

0:49:21.800 --> 0:49:26.239
<v Speaker 2>I understand the case for Durant, I don't understand the

0:49:26.280 --> 0:49:27.280
<v Speaker 2>case for Kawhi.

0:49:28.160 --> 0:49:32.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what Kawhi.

0:49:32.120 --> 0:49:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Was better at this year than Lebron consistently, so regular

0:49:36.880 --> 0:49:42.719
<v Speaker 2>numbers or metrics, but so not really though, I mean

0:49:42.800 --> 0:49:48.040
<v Speaker 2>so the team that the team's overall record the if

0:49:48.360 --> 0:49:52.359
<v Speaker 2>the Clippers won three more games than the Lakers did,

0:49:52.560 --> 0:49:55.680
<v Speaker 2>but Kawhi also missed four.

0:49:55.440 --> 0:49:57.560
<v Speaker 3>More games than Lebron did.

0:49:58.360 --> 0:50:02.800
<v Speaker 2>One of Lebron's wins, the in season tournament win, doesn't

0:50:02.840 --> 0:50:06.080
<v Speaker 2>count for some reason. It's not it's a game that happened,

0:50:06.200 --> 0:50:10.439
<v Speaker 2>but it's not in the standings. So if we look

0:50:10.480 --> 0:50:16.080
<v Speaker 2>at it, Durant played seventy five games, Lebron's seventy one,

0:50:16.160 --> 0:50:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Kawhi sixty eight. So Durant wins that category. Points a

0:50:20.840 --> 0:50:26.400
<v Speaker 2>game Durant twenty seven a game, Lebron twenty six, Kawhi

0:50:26.440 --> 0:50:32.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty four. Durant wins that category. Rebounds Lebron has per game.

0:50:32.320 --> 0:50:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Lebron wins. Assists, Lebron kills them. Field goal percentage, Lebron

0:50:37.560 --> 0:50:41.680
<v Speaker 2>beats them both. Effective field goal percentage, Lebron beats them both.

0:50:42.040 --> 0:50:45.480
<v Speaker 2>True shooting percentage, Lebron beats them both. You want to

0:50:45.520 --> 0:50:49.840
<v Speaker 2>go to the Advance Stats box score plus minus.

0:50:49.960 --> 0:50:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Lebron beats them both.

0:50:51.880 --> 0:50:56.640
<v Speaker 2>VORP Lebron beats them both. Peer Lebron beats them both.

0:50:57.120 --> 0:51:03.120
<v Speaker 2>They all three have ice, yeah, value, offensive replacement player,

0:51:03.840 --> 0:51:10.600
<v Speaker 2>no no, no, that's just learned. So for all those things,

0:51:11.160 --> 0:51:15.479
<v Speaker 2>so I I actually some people. And by the way,

0:51:16.440 --> 0:51:20.440
<v Speaker 2>as far as defensive rating, they are all tied identically

0:51:20.600 --> 0:51:25.280
<v Speaker 2>at one fourteen. That's the one category where Kawhi actually

0:51:25.320 --> 0:51:27.640
<v Speaker 2>and that's kind of team based as well, so you're

0:51:27.680 --> 0:51:30.719
<v Speaker 2>on the court with where So Lebron I'm sure benefits

0:51:30.719 --> 0:51:32.839
<v Speaker 2>from having Anthony Davis on the court. I understand that

0:51:33.080 --> 0:51:35.840
<v Speaker 2>offensive rating, that's where Kawhi actually shines the most. His

0:51:35.960 --> 0:51:39.120
<v Speaker 2>is one twenty four, Lebron won twenty, Durant one eighteen.

0:51:40.920 --> 0:51:45.759
<v Speaker 2>But defensive box plus minus, Lebron beats them both. I

0:51:45.800 --> 0:51:48.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know that that passes the eye test, but that's

0:51:48.000 --> 0:51:48.560
<v Speaker 2>what it is.

0:51:50.120 --> 0:51:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Win shares co.

0:51:53.080 --> 0:51:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Kauhai is at eight point nine, Lebron's at eight point five,

0:51:55.680 --> 0:51:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Durant at eight point three. So I just think Lebron

0:51:59.400 --> 0:52:03.080
<v Speaker 2>had a better season than Kawhi Leonard and I don't

0:52:03.120 --> 0:52:09.080
<v Speaker 2>know the argument against it. And you can say that

0:52:09.400 --> 0:52:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis is better than than Paul George, sure, but

0:52:13.480 --> 0:52:15.719
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the Clippers roster is far better than

0:52:15.760 --> 0:52:18.880
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the Lakers roster. So I think Lebron

0:52:18.880 --> 0:52:21.120
<v Speaker 2>should be second team All NBA. And what I actually

0:52:21.160 --> 0:52:22.359
<v Speaker 2>think has happened.

0:52:22.040 --> 0:52:23.279
<v Speaker 3>Here is.

0:52:24.760 --> 0:52:27.400
<v Speaker 2>There was some concern that, oh, Lebron, even if he

0:52:27.440 --> 0:52:31.080
<v Speaker 2>has a bad year, because he's Lebron and because he's old,

0:52:31.200 --> 0:52:33.719
<v Speaker 2>is gonna get graded on a curve. I actually think

0:52:33.719 --> 0:52:36.799
<v Speaker 2>he was graded down. I think because he's in year

0:52:36.840 --> 0:52:39.040
<v Speaker 2>twenty one and he's the oldest guy in the league,

0:52:39.560 --> 0:52:40.040
<v Speaker 2>people have.

0:52:40.160 --> 0:52:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Just assigned him. What what'd you.

0:52:43.560 --> 0:52:46.080
<v Speaker 4>Say, Oh, sorry, no, I'll say, we don't need to

0:52:46.120 --> 0:52:48.000
<v Speaker 4>give you more awards, but go ahead, wait.

0:52:48.200 --> 0:52:50.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well yeah, and they and it was like, well,

0:52:50.800 --> 0:52:54.040
<v Speaker 2>last year Lebron was a fringe All NBA guy.

0:52:54.400 --> 0:52:55.560
<v Speaker 3>This year it will be worse.

0:52:55.719 --> 0:52:58.600
<v Speaker 2>But he's better than he was last year. He's not hurt,

0:52:58.840 --> 0:53:01.359
<v Speaker 2>he played more games. He's having the best three point

0:53:01.400 --> 0:53:04.120
<v Speaker 2>shooting year of his career. He's better than Kawhi Leonard.

0:53:04.760 --> 0:53:07.320
<v Speaker 2>He's just flat Lee better than on Kawhi Leonard.

0:53:08.120 --> 0:53:08.799
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, right.

0:53:09.400 --> 0:53:12.719
<v Speaker 4>So with that said, Lebron and eighty both making the

0:53:12.800 --> 0:53:15.759
<v Speaker 4>second team and then being in the eighth seeds kind

0:53:15.760 --> 0:53:18.640
<v Speaker 4>of crazy, right, And you've got Brown in your toughest

0:53:18.680 --> 0:53:23.920
<v Speaker 4>emissions and anyways, so let me explain that and I'll

0:53:23.920 --> 0:53:25.280
<v Speaker 4>get to the third team in a moment.

0:53:26.000 --> 0:53:30.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't have a problem with that because this Lakers

0:53:30.239 --> 0:53:35.600
<v Speaker 2>team once Darvin ham stopped being a dope, and you know,

0:53:35.719 --> 0:53:40.160
<v Speaker 2>first fifty games of the year, they're starting their worst

0:53:40.200 --> 0:53:42.680
<v Speaker 2>lineup and Torrian Prince is prominently involved.

0:53:43.080 --> 0:53:45.760
<v Speaker 3>Since then, they've been one of the best.

0:53:45.560 --> 0:53:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Teams in the league. They've won eighteen of their last

0:53:49.440 --> 0:53:52.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty four. Since the twenty four and twenty five start,

0:53:52.560 --> 0:53:53.720
<v Speaker 2>they've been outstanding.

0:53:54.080 --> 0:53:55.800
<v Speaker 3>And I just think they've been two of the best.

0:53:55.600 --> 0:53:59.359
<v Speaker 2>Ten players in the league. So people can parse it.

0:53:59.400 --> 0:54:01.080
<v Speaker 2>That's fine. I think gave Ben two of the best

0:54:01.080 --> 0:54:06.560
<v Speaker 2>ten players in the league. Third team Steph Booker, Kawhi

0:54:06.600 --> 0:54:13.919
<v Speaker 2>and Paul George were the easiest ones, and then the

0:54:13.960 --> 0:54:19.640
<v Speaker 2>final spot came down between these following people, Dearon Fox,

0:54:20.160 --> 0:54:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Brown, Tyrese Haliburton, Palo Bancaro, Wimby, Gobert, Demontes, Sabonis

0:54:27.200 --> 0:54:31.200
<v Speaker 2>and Zion. There's nine guys for one spot. I went

0:54:31.239 --> 0:54:34.719
<v Speaker 2>with Fox, and I know some Kings fans will say

0:54:34.760 --> 0:54:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Sabonis is more deserving than Fox. Maybe I'm holding Sabonis'

0:54:37.960 --> 0:54:40.960
<v Speaker 2>playoff stuff against him. Halliburton was not the same guy

0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:44.239
<v Speaker 2>post injury. And I understand the argument. The Celtics won

0:54:44.320 --> 0:54:46.439
<v Speaker 2>sixty four games, they should have two guys on there.

0:54:46.680 --> 0:54:48.919
<v Speaker 2>I just thought Fox had a better season than Jalen Brown.

0:54:49.560 --> 0:54:52.440
<v Speaker 2>So there's the all NBA teams. We do wedding questions.

0:54:52.520 --> 0:54:54.319
<v Speaker 2>Next quick break, right back, what's right?

0:55:00.200 --> 0:55:02.200
<v Speaker 3>All right? Welcome back in what's right with Nick?

0:55:02.280 --> 0:55:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Right Demanse, Let's roll through these so if people don't know,

0:55:06.840 --> 0:55:09.759
<v Speaker 2>Saturday was me and my wife's eleven year wedding anniversary,

0:55:10.280 --> 0:55:13.000
<v Speaker 2>and we never had a real wedding, didn't have any money.

0:55:13.040 --> 0:55:15.920
<v Speaker 2>We got married in Reno with Demanse. Wasn't even invited,

0:55:15.920 --> 0:55:22.600
<v Speaker 2>couldn't afford the plane ticket.

0:55:19.080 --> 0:55:19.160
<v Speaker 4>The.

0:55:21.400 --> 0:55:26.080
<v Speaker 2>My Danielle and I flew to Sacramento and eleven years

0:55:26.080 --> 0:55:30.799
<v Speaker 2>ago and drove your grandparents and my mom who flew

0:55:30.840 --> 0:55:33.279
<v Speaker 2>out there on her own, to a chapelain Reno, and

0:55:33.320 --> 0:55:35.640
<v Speaker 2>we got married. And we always said on our ten

0:55:35.719 --> 0:55:39.200
<v Speaker 2>year anniversary we would do a real, big, actual wedding.

0:55:40.520 --> 0:55:42.399
<v Speaker 2>We ended up doing it on our own eleven years.

0:55:42.440 --> 0:55:45.359
<v Speaker 4>Awesome, go ahead. It was awesome that you guys had

0:55:45.400 --> 0:55:48.080
<v Speaker 4>the foresight to say like ten years. I could see

0:55:48.080 --> 0:55:51.560
<v Speaker 4>somebody being like, oh and five years, we'll do this, sir,

0:55:52.239 --> 0:55:54.799
<v Speaker 4>or in a year, two years, whatever it may be.

0:55:54.840 --> 0:55:57.799
<v Speaker 4>But the patients and it all worked out well.

0:55:58.000 --> 0:56:00.520
<v Speaker 2>To be fair to Monsey, the plan was five years

0:56:01.120 --> 0:56:05.720
<v Speaker 2>and we didn't get it together. And so what happened

0:56:05.840 --> 0:56:08.040
<v Speaker 2>was we had said, Okay, we're going to do it

0:56:08.080 --> 0:56:12.680
<v Speaker 2>in five years, and five years and four years after,

0:56:13.800 --> 0:56:17.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, five four years after we got married, we

0:56:17.800 --> 0:56:22.200
<v Speaker 2>moved to New York, yes, and so like then we're like,

0:56:22.239 --> 0:56:25.040
<v Speaker 2>all right, we can't work just now in New York.

0:56:25.640 --> 0:56:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Roted in too much. And so then we said, all right,

0:56:28.080 --> 0:56:31.080
<v Speaker 2>ten years, and we didn't check the calendar properly, and

0:56:31.200 --> 0:56:34.799
<v Speaker 2>ten years was yours high school graduation, so we had

0:56:34.840 --> 0:56:38.640
<v Speaker 2>all that going on and so and Trentidge opened all

0:56:38.680 --> 0:56:42.520
<v Speaker 2>that stuff. But we did it. It was absolutely a

0:56:42.560 --> 0:56:45.640
<v Speaker 2>perfect weekend. And I didn't want to start the pod

0:56:45.680 --> 0:56:47.880
<v Speaker 2>with it because it's a little self important. But I

0:56:47.920 --> 0:56:50.759
<v Speaker 2>know some people, if you're listening an hour into the pod,

0:56:50.840 --> 0:56:51.880
<v Speaker 2>you care about these things.

0:56:52.040 --> 0:56:54.080
<v Speaker 3>So go ahead ask some of these questions to Monsey.

0:56:54.719 --> 0:56:57.920
<v Speaker 4>All right, so JD Nobless, what did you wear for

0:56:58.000 --> 0:57:01.480
<v Speaker 4>your wedding. I enjoy your style fit selections on the show.

0:57:02.000 --> 0:57:04.560
<v Speaker 4>Shout out to mom. I'm a suit. I'm a suit

0:57:04.600 --> 0:57:06.960
<v Speaker 4>in Bow's eyes, so I'm curious what you choose.

0:57:09.120 --> 0:57:11.800
<v Speaker 3>So I wore Danielle.

0:57:12.000 --> 0:57:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Your mom's actually here, she just walked in. I think

0:57:14.640 --> 0:57:20.480
<v Speaker 2>it was Ralph Laren Purple Label tuxedo. That was purple

0:57:20.560 --> 0:57:22.680
<v Speaker 2>label is like the brand.

0:57:22.800 --> 0:57:25.280
<v Speaker 4>It was a fun but it was.

0:57:25.200 --> 0:57:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Also literally purple. It was a purple velvet.

0:57:30.640 --> 0:57:34.000
<v Speaker 2>So it was a Ralph Laren purple velvet tuxedo with

0:57:34.240 --> 0:57:38.360
<v Speaker 2>just a traditional white tuxedo shirt and some traditional I

0:57:38.360 --> 0:57:41.760
<v Speaker 2>think Hugo Boss tuxedo shoes, all right.

0:57:41.880 --> 0:57:46.600
<v Speaker 4>Next, Adrian Z Jackson asked how bad was Nick crying

0:57:47.080 --> 0:57:49.840
<v Speaker 4>during the vow renule so you.

0:57:49.800 --> 0:57:53.440
<v Speaker 3>Can deestify to this. I didn't cry. I was surprised

0:57:53.960 --> 0:57:57.880
<v Speaker 3>he had the entire time. Oh yeah, saying.

0:57:59.320 --> 0:58:02.080
<v Speaker 2>I almost I gave a speech at the rehearsal dinner

0:58:02.960 --> 0:58:07.120
<v Speaker 2>where I almost cried. I almost cried during your mom's

0:58:07.240 --> 0:58:10.600
<v Speaker 2>vows to me. And then the part that was the

0:58:10.640 --> 0:58:13.880
<v Speaker 2>hardest for me not to cry was the speeches, which

0:58:13.920 --> 0:58:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I'll talk about more in a moment. But I never cried.

0:58:18.800 --> 0:58:22.040
<v Speaker 2>It was just it was just joyous. Your mom cried

0:58:22.080 --> 0:58:26.000
<v Speaker 2>a bit, as to be expected, but it was I

0:58:26.800 --> 0:58:28.440
<v Speaker 2>amazingly didn't cry.

0:58:29.560 --> 0:58:30.479
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, keep going.

0:58:31.400 --> 0:58:34.440
<v Speaker 4>Richard Huddnell asked, did you have a bachelor's party?

0:58:35.400 --> 0:58:36.640
<v Speaker 3>No, because I'm not a bachelor.

0:58:37.440 --> 0:58:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Uh and so I uh no, I didn't have like

0:58:40.320 --> 0:58:41.800
<v Speaker 2>a wild weekend in Vegas.

0:58:41.880 --> 0:58:44.240
<v Speaker 3>No, Uh I did not at all? All right?

0:58:44.840 --> 0:58:49.720
<v Speaker 4>Uh different having a bachelor party, you know, with your sons.

0:58:49.800 --> 0:58:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you're there and ten years in the marriage,

0:58:53.520 --> 0:58:53.880
<v Speaker 2>all right?

0:58:54.080 --> 0:58:59.440
<v Speaker 4>Next uh, Jay asking Quinn question, what was the most surprising?

0:58:59.720 --> 0:59:01.840
<v Speaker 4>Did did anything surprise you about the wedding?

0:59:03.200 --> 0:59:06.160
<v Speaker 3>My sister shout out to Joanna.

0:59:07.080 --> 0:59:12.600
<v Speaker 2>She gave an unbelievable toast at the way the rehearsal

0:59:12.640 --> 0:59:15.840
<v Speaker 2>dinner worked. Is the best man Danny Parkins and the

0:59:15.880 --> 0:59:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Maid of Honor, Nicole Brown both gave prepared speeches.

0:59:19.440 --> 0:59:21.080
<v Speaker 3>And then we did kind of open mic.

0:59:21.160 --> 0:59:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Anyone who wanted to talk could talk, and man, twenty

0:59:25.080 --> 0:59:31.800
<v Speaker 2>people talked. It was so moving and unbelievable, and my

0:59:32.120 --> 0:59:37.680
<v Speaker 2>sister and your mom's sister, Deanna kind of stole the show.

0:59:38.240 --> 0:59:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Dianna gave one of the best speeches.

0:59:40.000 --> 0:59:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I've ever heard, including a quote that I thought was

0:59:44.680 --> 0:59:49.960
<v Speaker 2>fabricated from me, but evidently true. And my sister said,

0:59:49.960 --> 0:59:52.160
<v Speaker 2>with some of the nicest things she's ever said to

0:59:52.160 --> 0:59:55.320
<v Speaker 2>me in our life. And then at the wedding was

0:59:55.360 --> 0:59:58.520
<v Speaker 2>the damn life of the party. Yeah, and I don't,

0:59:58.560 --> 0:59:59.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't, I'm not. I don't want to

1:00:00.160 --> 1:00:04.360
<v Speaker 2>finned her, but it is not. She is one of

1:00:04.360 --> 1:00:09.360
<v Speaker 2>the most brilliant litigators in the world. And you know,

1:00:09.520 --> 1:00:12.400
<v Speaker 2>someone who doesn't do any social media, and I would

1:00:12.440 --> 1:00:15.800
<v Speaker 2>have you know, I think fairly described her as pretty

1:00:16.320 --> 1:00:20.000
<v Speaker 2>buttoned down, you know what I mean, not conservative in

1:00:20.080 --> 1:00:23.760
<v Speaker 2>her politics, but conservative in the apolitical sense.

1:00:24.320 --> 1:00:26.200
<v Speaker 3>And she just had the time of her life. It

1:00:26.240 --> 1:00:26.800
<v Speaker 3>seemed like a.

1:00:28.520 --> 1:00:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Ball and was really making everyone have a ball. And

1:00:32.360 --> 1:00:36.720
<v Speaker 2>so that that was like such a pleasant development. I

1:00:36.760 --> 1:00:39.200
<v Speaker 2>texted her and staid, she was the MVP of the wedding.

1:00:40.640 --> 1:00:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Your Grammy's husband, Bernard, gave a speech at the rehearsal dinner,

1:00:45.240 --> 1:00:49.080
<v Speaker 2>which was shocking and so wonderful.

1:00:50.600 --> 1:00:52.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it was so wonderful. Uh.

1:00:52.840 --> 1:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>And Danielle's older sister, Divina, who's a semi professional singer,

1:00:58.480 --> 1:01:01.000
<v Speaker 2>sang two songs at the wedding, the first one of

1:01:01.040 --> 1:01:04.040
<v Speaker 2>which like kind of got the party started and it

1:01:04.200 --> 1:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>was just untouchable.

1:01:07.520 --> 1:01:11.600
<v Speaker 4>That was awesome. Floodgates for mom.

1:01:11.960 --> 1:01:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh her crying, Yeah, all right, go ahead, let's keep going.

1:01:17.880 --> 1:01:21.080
<v Speaker 4>So Logan m asked demands. How terrified were you to

1:01:21.120 --> 1:01:24.600
<v Speaker 4>give a speech? Logan M I was super terrified, if

1:01:24.600 --> 1:01:27.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm being honest with you. I was very terrified up

1:01:27.040 --> 1:01:30.000
<v Speaker 4>until the moment that I started speaking, actually up until

1:01:30.040 --> 1:01:35.040
<v Speaker 4>about like the last hour and a half. Strangely, but uh,

1:01:35.080 --> 1:01:37.360
<v Speaker 4>but yeah, it was. I was really scared, but I

1:01:37.440 --> 1:01:40.000
<v Speaker 4>just could not not give a speech. My sisters go

1:01:40.120 --> 1:01:42.920
<v Speaker 4>out there and do what they do. But no, I

1:01:42.960 --> 1:01:45.760
<v Speaker 4>was really glad that I ended up giving it. I

1:01:45.800 --> 1:01:48.480
<v Speaker 4>thought I thought it went very well. Spilled a glass

1:01:48.520 --> 1:01:50.480
<v Speaker 4>of wine on the table like five minutes before I

1:01:50.480 --> 1:01:51.160
<v Speaker 4>gave the speech.

1:01:51.200 --> 1:01:55.240
<v Speaker 2>But you know, really I didn't even know. Uh, you

1:01:55.280 --> 1:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>did great, pal, and you didn't. I knew you were

1:01:59.000 --> 1:02:01.720
<v Speaker 2>nervous about it. You had told me, and then I

1:02:01.800 --> 1:02:04.960
<v Speaker 2>knew you were nervous about it because of how you started.

1:02:05.480 --> 1:02:08.640
<v Speaker 2>But once you started, you didn't seem nervous at all,

1:02:09.280 --> 1:02:09.880
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean.

1:02:11.880 --> 1:02:12.240
<v Speaker 4>Smooth.

1:02:13.320 --> 1:02:14.840
<v Speaker 3>You seemed totally comfortable and.

1:02:16.480 --> 1:02:18.160
<v Speaker 4>Like, you know, everybody here loves each other.

1:02:18.320 --> 1:02:21.600
<v Speaker 2>It's it's all good, but also it was weird for

1:02:21.640 --> 1:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>you also because some of your coworkers were there. You're

1:02:24.440 --> 1:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>like bosses, boss boss is there, So it's a you

1:02:27.880 --> 1:02:29.720
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, there's that element of it.

1:02:31.160 --> 1:02:33.000
<v Speaker 3>But also one thing that I don't know.

1:02:32.960 --> 1:02:35.720
<v Speaker 2>If you gave yourself credit for, because the way the

1:02:35.760 --> 1:02:38.080
<v Speaker 2>speeches at the wedding worked was it was just our

1:02:38.120 --> 1:02:41.120
<v Speaker 2>three kids. It was Demond's a do or Indiana who

1:02:41.120 --> 1:02:43.640
<v Speaker 2>gave speeches. You're the only one of the three who

1:02:43.680 --> 1:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't read. You just gave it, you know what I mean,

1:02:48.200 --> 1:02:52.960
<v Speaker 2>you knew you and you know the story, what story

1:02:53.040 --> 1:02:55.520
<v Speaker 2>you were gonna what story you were going to tell?

1:02:56.040 --> 1:02:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Uh, you be great, all right, Matt's got.

1:02:58.280 --> 1:03:01.560
<v Speaker 4>A question which of your kids have the best speech?

1:03:03.240 --> 1:03:07.160
<v Speaker 3>So there wasn't a best speech, but they were all

1:03:08.720 --> 1:03:09.000
<v Speaker 3>it was.

1:03:09.040 --> 1:03:11.040
<v Speaker 2>To me, the speeches were the best part of the

1:03:11.040 --> 1:03:16.080
<v Speaker 2>whole night, uh, because it was so impressive watching the

1:03:16.160 --> 1:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>three of you and Demanse relaying a story that I

1:03:21.320 --> 1:03:22.280
<v Speaker 2>did not remember.

1:03:23.360 --> 1:03:26.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, I'm glad that I told it. Yeah, exactly.

1:03:26.560 --> 1:03:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:03:27.320 --> 1:03:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Because and it's funny how like life in parenting works

1:03:30.320 --> 1:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>is this is like a you know what they call

1:03:33.400 --> 1:03:35.520
<v Speaker 2>these days a core memory.

1:03:35.200 --> 1:03:37.760
<v Speaker 3>For Demanse, it seems like.

1:03:37.160 --> 1:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Like you can you vividly remember the details of it,

1:03:40.680 --> 1:03:44.640
<v Speaker 2>what led up to it, all pieces of it. I

1:03:44.640 --> 1:03:47.640
<v Speaker 2>have no recollection of even the vaguest parts of it.

1:03:47.720 --> 1:03:49.200
<v Speaker 3>I just didn't know what happened.

1:03:51.120 --> 1:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>And hearing that Deana Deanna is an impressive ten year old.

1:03:59.200 --> 1:04:02.800
<v Speaker 2>And Deanna Deanna was saying to me the day before,

1:04:03.440 --> 1:04:06.000
<v Speaker 2>she was like, I don't think my speech is funny enough.

1:04:06.720 --> 1:04:09.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, baby, don't go for funny, go for

1:04:09.160 --> 1:04:13.320
<v Speaker 2>sincere and sweet. And she was like, no, everyone likes funny.

1:04:14.000 --> 1:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, it's really hard to be funny, Like

1:04:17.680 --> 1:04:21.560
<v Speaker 2>being prepared funny is hard, don't She's like, I'm gonna

1:04:21.560 --> 1:04:25.600
<v Speaker 2>be funny, and she was funny.

1:04:26.520 --> 1:04:26.800
<v Speaker 4>Funny.

1:04:27.600 --> 1:04:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, ten year old gave a funny speech at the wedding,

1:04:31.640 --> 1:04:36.040
<v Speaker 2>and it was touching what she said at the end

1:04:36.080 --> 1:04:38.760
<v Speaker 2>about how she looks and how she used to feel

1:04:38.800 --> 1:04:41.040
<v Speaker 2>about it and how she feels about it now.

1:04:41.720 --> 1:04:43.440
<v Speaker 3>And then Diora.

1:04:45.000 --> 1:04:50.479
<v Speaker 2>Diora's speech was maybe the most heart wrenching because I knew,

1:04:52.920 --> 1:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>and what I don't think the audience knew was a

1:04:57.080 --> 1:05:01.200
<v Speaker 2>couple lines of her speech were the opening lines of

1:05:01.240 --> 1:05:04.680
<v Speaker 2>her college application essay. And I won't say what lines

1:05:04.720 --> 1:05:06.400
<v Speaker 2>they were, but it was I knew that that was

1:05:06.480 --> 1:05:09.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of a wink and nod to me that I

1:05:09.680 --> 1:05:12.000
<v Speaker 2>because I knew it, and you know, she and I

1:05:12.080 --> 1:05:16.560
<v Speaker 2>knew it. And say one other thing, So Diora talked

1:05:16.600 --> 1:05:19.520
<v Speaker 2>about some things that she dealt with in middle school

1:05:19.560 --> 1:05:24.960
<v Speaker 2>from like a bullying perspective, and I didn't know it

1:05:25.200 --> 1:05:33.440
<v Speaker 2>until hours later, but shortly after the speeches, Deanna was crying, crying,

1:05:33.480 --> 1:05:38.200
<v Speaker 2>like really hard. And it was because she didn't know

1:05:38.760 --> 1:05:41.600
<v Speaker 2>that her big sister had ever been bullied, and it

1:05:41.680 --> 1:05:46.640
<v Speaker 2>was so like moving and like moving and emotional for

1:05:46.680 --> 1:05:49.440
<v Speaker 2>her that she started sobbing about it and so like

1:05:49.880 --> 1:05:53.280
<v Speaker 2>that level of like sibling connectivity and whatever it was.

1:05:53.760 --> 1:05:56.320
<v Speaker 2>It was really a beautiful.

1:05:56.240 --> 1:05:58.880
<v Speaker 4>Part of the experience.

1:05:59.600 --> 1:06:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh all right, I'll try to go fast through these

1:06:02.960 --> 1:06:04.200
<v Speaker 2>next week because I gotta get to work.

1:06:04.240 --> 1:06:08.080
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead. Jason Lawton asked Nick. When planning such a

1:06:08.080 --> 1:06:10.600
<v Speaker 4>big event with your partner, how do you collaborate so

1:06:10.720 --> 1:06:12.920
<v Speaker 4>both of you have aspects of the event you want.

1:06:13.280 --> 1:06:15.240
<v Speaker 4>Were you both on the same page or did you

1:06:15.280 --> 1:06:16.720
<v Speaker 4>have conflicts on the plants?

1:06:18.640 --> 1:06:23.560
<v Speaker 2>So I didn't have many many like strong takes on

1:06:23.680 --> 1:06:27.840
<v Speaker 2>what it needed to be. Your mom is a designer, uh,

1:06:28.560 --> 1:06:32.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, beauty is kind of what She's best in

1:06:32.640 --> 1:06:38.640
<v Speaker 2>the world at creating, curating, visualizing, and I'm terrible at

1:06:38.640 --> 1:06:41.560
<v Speaker 2>that stuff, so it would have been ridiculous for me

1:06:41.680 --> 1:06:44.480
<v Speaker 2>to be like, no, we have to do this. There

1:06:44.480 --> 1:06:49.200
<v Speaker 2>were a few things I felt strongly about, like that

1:06:49.240 --> 1:06:52.040
<v Speaker 2>we weren't doing a registry, and we weren't accepting gifts.

1:06:52.040 --> 1:06:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Some people gave some gifts anyway, and you know, the.

1:06:58.000 --> 1:07:00.439
<v Speaker 3>Which they shouldn't have. But he can't be mad because

1:07:00.440 --> 1:07:03.160
<v Speaker 3>people are trying to be nice. But the the you know,

1:07:03.400 --> 1:07:04.840
<v Speaker 3>that is what it is. I felt.

1:07:05.280 --> 1:07:08.880
<v Speaker 2>I felt strongly about, you know, a couple things, but

1:07:09.080 --> 1:07:15.440
<v Speaker 2>mostly I followed her lead on it, and that part

1:07:15.480 --> 1:07:18.160
<v Speaker 2>was easy because she nailed every aspect of it.

1:07:18.160 --> 1:07:23.919
<v Speaker 3>It was a gorgeous events. Let's go to Reginald. Let's

1:07:23.960 --> 1:07:25.919
<v Speaker 3>go to Reginald Pierre, Pierre.

1:07:25.600 --> 1:07:29.680
<v Speaker 4>Wilds, Reginald Pierre ass Who's got the better wedding dance moves?

1:07:29.800 --> 1:07:31.040
<v Speaker 4>Brewer Wilds.

1:07:31.800 --> 1:07:32.760
<v Speaker 3>So here's the thing.

1:07:34.440 --> 1:07:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Bruce's wife couldn't come, so bru was not gonna be

1:07:39.000 --> 1:07:40.040
<v Speaker 2>out on the dance floor.

1:07:40.120 --> 1:07:40.920
<v Speaker 3>I already knew it.

1:07:42.360 --> 1:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Wilde's wife was there, Wild's wife was dancing. Wild's is

1:07:49.040 --> 1:07:55.120
<v Speaker 2>a hip hophead, considers himself super cool and all of that,

1:07:56.280 --> 1:07:58.280
<v Speaker 2>and this guy was scared to get on the dance floor.

1:07:58.840 --> 1:08:01.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean really really a tragic performance.

1:08:02.520 --> 1:08:05.640
<v Speaker 3>Like his wife was dancing and wild things easy.

1:08:06.160 --> 1:08:10.000
<v Speaker 2>He missed her, you know, deep cut hip hophead and

1:08:10.040 --> 1:08:11.960
<v Speaker 2>this guy couldn't get out on the dance floor.

1:08:12.240 --> 1:08:14.240
<v Speaker 3>So you know, that is what it is.

1:08:14.880 --> 1:08:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Uh, you know, while I look at him, all moving

1:08:17.200 --> 1:08:19.960
<v Speaker 2>forward probably, but you know, so be it.

1:08:20.000 --> 1:08:22.560
<v Speaker 4>All right, let's on top of the set at the

1:08:22.600 --> 1:08:23.160
<v Speaker 4>show today.

1:08:23.360 --> 1:08:25.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's go to Kevin Gillan and then we

1:08:25.920 --> 1:08:26.880
<v Speaker 2>can wrap it up.

1:08:27.479 --> 1:08:30.559
<v Speaker 4>Kevin. Kevin Gillan asked what tips can you offer for

1:08:30.600 --> 1:08:33.840
<v Speaker 4>a long lasting marriage? What's the secret?

1:08:34.840 --> 1:08:37.160
<v Speaker 3>So listen, I don't I don't think there's a secret.

1:08:37.439 --> 1:08:41.880
<v Speaker 3>I think that uh. And this is not something that

1:08:41.960 --> 1:08:42.200
<v Speaker 3>you know.

1:08:42.479 --> 1:08:45.479
<v Speaker 2>One of my vowels to my wife was that, you know,

1:08:45.560 --> 1:08:48.439
<v Speaker 2>this time around, to remember that she's always on my

1:08:48.640 --> 1:08:52.320
<v Speaker 2>side and that we're teammates and we're not in competition. Uh,

1:08:52.360 --> 1:08:56.280
<v Speaker 2>and to take any what I consider at times maybe

1:08:56.320 --> 1:09:01.479
<v Speaker 2>incorrectly criticism as not criticism, but at as her you know,

1:09:02.080 --> 1:09:03.200
<v Speaker 2>efforts to help me.

1:09:04.920 --> 1:09:06.400
<v Speaker 3>I also think.

1:09:07.880 --> 1:09:11.519
<v Speaker 2>Finding the what has been one of the keys for

1:09:11.680 --> 1:09:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Danielle and I, aside from the fact like what everyone

1:09:13.960 --> 1:09:17.320
<v Speaker 2>says is true, like you know, be attracted to each other,

1:09:17.520 --> 1:09:20.200
<v Speaker 2>make each other laugh, like all those things are obviously

1:09:20.280 --> 1:09:23.880
<v Speaker 2>like part of any good relationship, right, But I think

1:09:23.920 --> 1:09:27.720
<v Speaker 2>one of the keys for Danielle and I are we

1:09:28.600 --> 1:09:35.000
<v Speaker 2>are we have just enough in common to not vehemently

1:09:35.080 --> 1:09:41.640
<v Speaker 2>disagree on anything super important. Right Like if she were like,

1:09:41.760 --> 1:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, I can't wait to go, you know,

1:09:45.400 --> 1:09:48.280
<v Speaker 2>put on my red hat and campaign for Trump.

1:09:48.439 --> 1:09:51.040
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't. I couldn't marry it, I couldn't be with her.

1:09:51.080 --> 1:09:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Like we are where that we have enough similar on

1:09:53.880 --> 1:10:00.679
<v Speaker 2>the important things, but we have enough differences that many

1:10:00.760 --> 1:10:03.559
<v Speaker 2>of my weaknesses are her strengths, and many of my

1:10:04.360 --> 1:10:07.439
<v Speaker 2>strengths are her weaknesses. So you know what I mean,

1:10:07.600 --> 1:10:11.200
<v Speaker 2>like the we can balance out each other's lives in

1:10:11.240 --> 1:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>that degree, and like I just I there's I can't

1:10:17.400 --> 1:10:20.600
<v Speaker 2>see any snapshot of my life where she's not alongside.

1:10:21.760 --> 1:10:26.320
<v Speaker 2>So I hope that is good, you know, good advice,

1:10:26.400 --> 1:10:29.519
<v Speaker 2>good thoughts, That's what I think. All right, great job demanse,
