1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, the Calves and Lakers are the hottest teams

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: in the league, but we have teams on hot streaks

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: all throughout the standings.

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 2: The day, well that just happened. They are also on

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: the move.

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: We had some unfortunate injuries around the league that we'll

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: need to address with NBA writer Jasmine Wimbish on today's episode,

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm Miles Street.

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: And I'm Jack O'Brien and this.

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 3: Is my.

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: Chory got it when Looka hits ta. Okay, you be

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: driving spinny fatter numbers, sight gen, that's been secure. What's

13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: something sure? NBA champions over the public tea.

14
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 4: Right, be honest with the.

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: Short time, won't you go?

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: Jasmine Wimbish, you cover the NBA for CBS Sports.

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: Yo, that was the first time Zoom noticed my singing

18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: and said, are you recording music?

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: Wow, all right, I am a good thing. It usually

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 2: just goes stop.

22
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 1: That the AI is getting smarter.

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: It turns out it does turned out that way.

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: Jasmine, thank you so much for coming on the show

25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: when we have I think this is just a question

26
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: I like to ask a lot of NBA journalists where

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: you are as a journalist and as a fan do

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: you keep them separate? Do you try and embrace both?

29
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: Obviously you're professionals, so you don't let that interfere with

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: your coverage. But are you also because of your coverage

31
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: of the league, you have transcended.

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 2: And you have no team.

33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 4: I would say that I'm definitely not transcended. That's certainly not.

34
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: Not a transcendental NBA cover.

35
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to be two above it.

36
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: By boy, those people are all lying to themselves.

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you feel anything when you watch basketball, then you

38
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: got to have something.

39
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: That's a lie. I grew up a Dallas Mavericks fan.

40
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 4: Dereknovitsky is all time. So this conversation is going to

41
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 4: be rough because the last month has been incredibly depressing

42
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 4: for Mavericks fans. Yeah, but obviously, you know, keeping it

43
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 4: professional and separate from fandom is you know, I have to.

44
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 4: But it also makes my writing a lot better, especially

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 4: now the Mavericks are always in the news for the

46
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 4: wrong reasons.

47
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: So sure, sure, sure, right. Well, well, so to a

48
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: wildly unprofessional podcast where yeah, we.

49
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: Fandom obscures our coverage and perspective to a degree that

50
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: it's almost unlistenable. But people come in for for the

51
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: jokes either way. But yeah, I mean we're I guess

52
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: we just get right into it.

53
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: I will say I am a seventy six Ers fan,

54
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: so I don't know exactly how you're feeling, but uh,

55
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: it's bad. Yeah it's bad over here as well. At

56
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: least your generational big is coming back soon.

57
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 4: We'll see about.

58
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see our ours is untradeable permanently. The only

59
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 2: hope I've seen in Sixers forums is like, maybe we

60
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: can get them to retire and then then we'll do

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: the retirement clause or something. I don't I don't know

62
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: any of the contract stuff. But Kyrie has been slowly

63
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: winning us over with his game over these past couple years.

64
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean just one of the most impressive

65
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: one on one players, one of the best ball handlers,

66
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: shot makers in the league, one of the most fun

67
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: players to watch play basketball. So it is I think

68
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: devastating obviously to Dallas fans, but also to basketball fans

69
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: that he is has a torn acl and out for

70
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: the remainder of this season. And it's one of the

71
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: injuries that usually takes a toll the next season, if

72
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: not takes you out for the next season, but obviously

73
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: gave us an indelible image on the way out shooting

74
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: the free throws with tears rolling down his face after

75
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: the injury, because he seemed like he knew what was happening. Yeah,

76
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: but I don't know, like where do we begin with

77
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,119
Speaker 2: what the past month has been like for Dallas Mavericks fans.

78
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, I'll tell you where I began,

79
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 4: which was the day that Luca got traded. And I

80
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 4: was awake when that happened, which was at like twelve

81
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 4: thirty in the morning. Yeah, and I was scrolling on

82
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: my phone. I get the alert and I'm like, there's

83
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 4: no way this is real. And then I think I

84
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 4: went to like my company's slack and nobody was on

85
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 4: because everybody's asleep. And I go back to Twitter, and

86
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 4: I think sham Sin tweeted more reporting about it or something,

87
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 4: and I was like, oh, this is happening. And I

88
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 4: felt like I was having the worst nightmare and got

89
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 4: like like the night sweats and was just like completely

90
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 4: in denial for about five hours. And then the next

91
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 4: day was it was like mourning somebody like a loved

92
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: one who just passed away, Like that's the best way

93
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 4: I can describe it. And it's still like, if you

94
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 4: are a Mavericks fan, watching Luca play for the Lakers

95
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 4: right now is like he's doing everything that he was

96
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 4: doing in Dallas and watching him do it in a

97
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 4: different team's jersey is like the most depressing thing that

98
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 4: you could ever imagine happened to your franchise, Like I

99
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 4: can't And there's nothing else to compare this to in

100
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 4: the NBA, Like genuinely, it's never happened. And so it's

101
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 4: just like it's like living in the worst time timeline possible.

102
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 4: I don't even know it's And to this day, all

103
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 4: of the reasons that the Mavericks have been trying to

104
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 4: filter out through all of their flimsy reports make zero sense.

105
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: Like oh he was fat, I mean, okay, he's still

106
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 4: averaging a triple double and went to the.

107
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: Finals, took you on his back to the final, right right.

108
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: The amount of like that same sweet tea anecdote I've

109
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: seen come up over and over again, I'm like, what

110
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: they're still doing this.

111
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been telling that anecdote for years. Okay, right, no,

112
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: but I mean like that's what he still I know,

113
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: But it's so wild that that's like they got that

114
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: one story in their craw and they're just like, yep, no,

115
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: we're going to take that drink out of his hand. Yeah, well,

116
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: he's celebrating taking us.

117
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 4: To the finals, even when Kyrie got hurt. Nico Harrison

118
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 4: came out with the statement yesterday or the day before whatever,

119
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 4: and again was like, you know, I see the same

120
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 4: work ethic in him that I saw in Kobe Bryant.

121
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my god, dude, you gotta let it go.

122
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: Like it's all just like another slight at Luca being

123
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 4: like he doesn't have Mamba mentality, which is ridiculous. Yes,

124
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: it's gross.

125
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and also seems like somebody who does play

126
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: with a lot, like the biggest chip on his shoulder,

127
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 2: Like oh absolutely, you just gave him another chip for

128
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: the other shoulder. Oh yeah.

129
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean just like when Nico was courtside during the

130
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: warm up for that Laker game, I was like, no,

131
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: we're Luca's about to go off.

132
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: Why you're even visible? Why are you even visible hold

133
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: of this man right now? Yeah? I would be watching

134
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: that game from under my bed in my own house.

135
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: Like.

136
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,119
Speaker 1: Ad mission impossible, Like just going with somebody completely different.

137
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: You're like, yes, and I am enjoying this basketball game.

138
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 4: But I think that's the thing is Nico thinks that

139
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 4: he's right, so he has all the confidence in the world.

140
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 4: He's never afraid of it. Aside, I should take that back.

141
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: He's afraid of being in front of Mavericks fans at

142
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 4: home because he's sitting up in a skybox at home

143
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 4: games whatever. On the road, he is totally comfortable, especially

144
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: in Crypto dot Camerina. He just helped set up this

145
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: team for the next ten to fifteen years plus, like

146
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 4: he has no reason to be like shameful or whatever,

147
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: and he still thinks that he made the right decision.

148
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 4: Like there's just no way.

149
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know at that game, I know they

150
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: had the Luca seventy seven T shirts on the on

151
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: the seats, but it was also Nico Harrison night. I

152
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: think Harrison, Yeah, yeah, just they didn't know, they didn't know.

153
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm I'm wondering too, because just seeing the

154
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: frustration from MAVs fans, which is so understandable, and I

155
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: said this before you came, was like it even even

156
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: for us, we like, how we how do we have Luca,

157
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: Like that's impossible. It's like their franchise player. This never happens.

158
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: What do you see happening to even win the good

159
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: will back? Because I feel like everything you see from

160
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: the fans is just like they're dejected. They feel absolutely

161
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: just like empty after this trade and now the subsequent

162
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: injuries to Ad and Kyrie just in the finals nine

163
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: months ago. What is like, what is the path forward

164
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: or is that how do you see that situation the

165
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: relationship with the fans or this is just something that

166
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: these decisions are being made completely without consideration of that dimension.

167
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 4: Uh, Immediately, they need to fire Nico Harrison. That I

168
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 4: think is like step one to try and like rebuild

169
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 4: a fan base that is completely in tatters right now,

170
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 4: especially at the rate that this thing is just like

171
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 4: falling off the lake, just completely falling apart, like Kyrie's hurt,

172
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: eighties hurt. Kyrie's gonna be out for probably most if

173
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 4: not all, of next season. Like, okay, so now next

174
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 4: season is lost, And Nico Harrison during his press conference

175
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 4: was like, oh, well ten years from now, it doesn't matter.

176
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 4: I care about the next three to four all right, Well,

177
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 4: those next three to four years are pretty look at bad. Yeah,

178
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 4: So I mean at the next if at the end

179
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 4: of next season, if Nico Harrison still has a job,

180
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 4: I would genuinely be surprised. Like there's just no way,

181
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 4: especially with the new owner, Patrick Dumont, Like he said

182
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 4: some crazy things about Luca as well. But I don't

183
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,599
Speaker 4: understand how you could own a team, have somebody like

184
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 4: Nico basically just running it into the ground at a

185
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 4: rapid rate, and then still try and keep him employed

186
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 4: for the long haul. It doesn't make any sense, doesn't

187
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 4: make sense at all.

188
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Ah, where does this rank with the calling Steph

189
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 2: Curry Steven do we think on his career highlight reel?

190
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's Seth right, he called himself. Okay, all

191
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: right brother in the slide show. Sorry, we meant to

192
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 2: switch those Outland. What No, I'm not from Maryland?

193
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 4: What?

194
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah? The East Coast you're you're you're an East Coast guy, right, buddy?

195
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: Why do you keep calling me buddy? No? It's Seth right,

196
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: mister healed?

197
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 4: What?

198
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: No? Wiles? What so much? It's there's so many everything

199
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: is unprecedented right now, just in every dimension. So I'm

200
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: just like, what what, Okay? A picture. It transcends basketball.

201
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: It's it's wild, it is biblical, it is job is

202
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: how it feels. So we'll stop asking you about the

203
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks. We we got the game of the week,

204
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: so uh, Jasmine. Every week we take a look at

205
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 2: the upcoming slate and we're like, here's the game of

206
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 2: the week, here's the game that you're gonna want to watch.

207
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: We'll watch it, we'll talk about it. And for the

208
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: first five times we did this, they were all like

209
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 2: thirty point blow. We got one right. This time. It

210
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: was the Cavs playing the Boston Celtics. And the only

211
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: thing I enjoy in this league more than a seventy

212
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 2: six Ers win or now that we're tanking a seventy

213
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 2: six Ers loss, is a Boston Celtics loss, particularly come

214
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: from behind victory. Jasmin, I am a root for the

215
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 2: rest of the league against the Celtics person. That's my

216
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: philosophy in following basketball. In this case, the Celtics built

217
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: a twenty two point lead, We're maintaining a double digit

218
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 2: lead for most of the game, even with Porzengis and

219
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: Drew Holliday out of the rotation, and then Cleveland was

220
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: able to come back. Donovan Mitchell went off for forty

221
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: one and just yeah, it took it to him. There's

222
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: a very viral clip of Jason Tatum inviting the Cavaliers

223
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: to get the heck out of here. Yeah, hey, you guys,

224
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: get get on out of here, editation, it takes this personally, Yes, exactly.

225
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 2: They were up twenty five to three and at the

226
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: end they lost one twenty three to one sixteen. Donovan

227
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: Mitchell gave a little little thumb as Jason Tatum had.

228
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,599
Speaker 2: Mitchell scored twenty six of his forty one in the

229
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: second half. He's actually been pretty dominant against the Celtics,

230
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 2: Like this is shaping up to be. I think for

231
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: a while, I just like didn't believe. I was like,

232
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: I still think it's just going to be the Celtics

233
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. But if they play in a seven

234
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 2: game series, Cleveland has home court advantage. I don't know

235
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 2: that they have an answer for Mitchell unless Drew is

236
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 2: like able to just like take it up to another

237
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: level defensively in the playoffs, which he has been able

238
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: to do in the past. So maybe maybe that's what happens.

239
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: But I think it's like kind of a coin flip

240
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 2: at this point, Like, I really think Cleveland Boston is

241
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: like could go either way. What do you guys think?

242
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: I just out of my need for the Celtics to

243
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: not be good, I am fully invested in that. I

244
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: watch this game with such joy in my heart. I mean,

245
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, just looking at the momentum they have,

246
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not gonna say that for sure it's happening,

247
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: but I think it's well, it's more than reasonable to believe.

248
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, no, no, no, this isn't a fluke,

249
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 2: Like this is something that's going to be sustainable. At least.

250
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,599
Speaker 2: That's my sort of half hearted entry into it. What

251
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: about you, Jazmine, I feel.

252
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 4: Like if Boston's healthy, I think, like you said, Jack,

253
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 4: like if jew Holliday can turn it up a notch,

254
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 4: then they have an answer for Donovan Mitchell. But the

255
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 4: thing that I watched in that game was like Evan

256
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 4: Mobley also like just completely stood out in that fourth quarter.

257
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 4: I think he had like sixteen of however many points

258
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 4: he scored on the night in the fourth quarter of

259
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: that game. All season long, he's just been like his

260
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 4: offensive game has just been like just crazy impressive compared

261
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 4: to his previous seasons. He's already like super dominant on

262
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 4: the defensive side of the ball, but he's getting to

263
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 4: the ram at a rate we've never seen before. Like

264
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 4: he's handed to the all like he's ending them in

265
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 4: the ball so much better, like shooting with so much

266
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 4: more confidence. Like Kenny Atkinson has just been like a

267
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 4: wizard over there for the Cavaliers, and specifically with Evan

268
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 4: Mobley that like, if he's their second best player every

269
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 4: night or sometimes their best player in that series, like

270
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 4: then Cleveland could win. But I'm also very like, I

271
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 4: don't know, because Cleveland kind of gets nervous in the

272
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 4: playoffs and the lights are too bright and whatever that

273
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: quote is that year at Allen said last year, like

274
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 4: so I'm not sure, like Boston's scary when they're on,

275
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 4: but Cleveland's been really good this year, so I don't know.

276
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, what's the most hopeful version that way?

277
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: So I could it can sue my fears of other Celtics.

278
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: All right, get to us again, but pretend that actually

279
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: the Celtics stinct.

280
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: I pretend I'm not crying because you said the Celtics

281
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: might do it and these tears is just the lights

282
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: are right.

283
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: Phil Jackson had a measure for like whether a team's

284
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: championship aspirations were realistic or not, and it was whether

285
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: you could win forty games before losing twenty. And the

286
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: Calves are fifty to ten, which is pretty incredible eating

287
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: the watermark. Yeah. Yeah, it's just like one of I

288
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: feel like we do this a lot where it's just like,

289
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: because we haven't seen it yet, we just assumed that

290
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: it's it's not going to happen this year because of

291
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 2: like what we've seen historically. We're like, well, the Calves

292
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: were bad last year, but even they weren't like from

293
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: a personnel standpoint, a completely different team. They are a

294
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: different They look like a completely different team this year.

295
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: They really have it going. And yeah, Evan Mobley being

296
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: the kind of biggest step forward. And then DeAndre Hunter,

297
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: you know, ten games Celtic Hunter. DeAndre Hunter, he's always

298
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: been good against the Celtics. So should we let's take

299
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: a quick break. We'll come back and we'll take a

300
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: look further afield around the league. We'll be right back.

301
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 4: And we're back.

302
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: We're back, and we're going to take a look around

303
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: the league. One of these is going to be somewhat unpleasant.

304
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: But at the hottest teams in the league, the Cavs

305
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: ten straight pretty good. We also have the Pistons now

306
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 2: they're nine and one over the last ten, have the

307
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: nineteenth toughest remaining schedule, so like, not that bad a

308
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: remaining schedule, just nine and fifteen on December fourth, following

309
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 2: a double digit loss to the Celtics, and have gone

310
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: twenty six and thirteen since then, which makes them the

311
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 2: second best team in the NBA since that date. And

312
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: Kate is just awesome. I love it. I love it.

313
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 2: Okate is just balling out of his mind. What do

314
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 2: we think the ceiling is for Detroit this year? Can

315
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 2: they get to the Eastern Conference Finals? Or we think

316
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: it's just Celtics calves with a bullet and anybody else

317
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: is just kind of kind of for the Pistons to

318
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.

319
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: We would love for that. I just love when the

320
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: Pistons are doing great.

321
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: But what's where are they at right now?

322
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 4: There's six I just looked up the standing Yeah, okay,

323
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 4: the face. If the playoffs started today, they placed the

324
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 4: Knicks in the first round a tough matchup just off

325
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 4: the bat. Yeah, so I don't know about Eastern Conference.

326
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: Finals, but or the second round.

327
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe a seven game series in the first round.

328
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 4: In playoffs. I mean, getting to the playoffs at all

329
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 4: for Detroit is just like throw a parade, to be honest,

330
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 4: because the season that they've been having after last year

331
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 4: where they set multiple records, where like with their losing streaks,

332
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 4: this is just nobody thought that they would be one

333
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 4: of the top six teams in the East. I mean,

334
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 4: nobody thought the Sixers would completely implode either, but it's

335
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 4: just been like you said, Kate Cunningham has been an

336
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 4: All Star. He's been. It's funny because, like I remember

337
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 4: when Kate came into the league and he had this

338
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: rookie season and like everyone was just kind of like, oh,

339
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 4: I don't know, he doesn't look like the number one pick,

340
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 4: and he started off really slow, and then like his

341
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 4: efficiency like was really poor in the first season, and

342
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 4: I feel like he didn't get enough shine in like

343
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 4: his second season, and now he's kind of getting that

344
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 4: moment and the Pistons are benefiting from that that I

345
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 4: think like next season is when we can start talking

346
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 4: like all right past the first round. I think this

347
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 4: is a team that could go a little bit further,

348
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 4: but right now I don't see them making out of

349
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 4: the first round.

350
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 2: All right, and onto the Lakers, who've played eight teams

351
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: with an above five hundred record in the month of

352
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 2: February and went eight to oh hadn't given up more

353
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 2: than one hundred and two points since the break since

354
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: the All Star Break, which is seven games. They did

355
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: give up over that to the Pelicans last night, but

356
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 2: that was mainly garbage time, and they do just seem

357
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 2: to be able to put all the different pieces together

358
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: in a way that works. I do just want to

359
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 2: talk about Lebron real quick. I just want to talk

360
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: about what he's been doing since his birthday. He's putting

361
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 2: up twenty six to eight and eight. His Lakers have

362
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: won over seventy four percent of the games during that stretch.

363
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: His birthday was on December thirtieth, so this is basically

364
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: full twenty five. So as a forty year old, twenty

365
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 2: six eight and eight Lakers are winning at a non

366
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: president rate for them in his era with the Lakers,

367
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: He's not an MVP candidate, but you know, could finish

368
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 2: top ten for the first time since the twenty one

369
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: to twenty two season, and most importantly, we're approaching the

370
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 2: ten year anniversary of the tweet that said Lebron is

371
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 2: thirty this Blankerrie won't go on for much longer, thank God.

372
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: Twenty fifteen, twenty fifteen, blifically my gosh.

373
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, truly, you know, that goes great watching him

374
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: score fifty thousand points against the Pelicans, just to smash

375
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: through that ceiling. But I don't know, I mean, it

376
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: is wild to think just what he's doing right now

377
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: and his even his defensive output, even that Pelicans game,

378
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: some of the just the runs he was making to

379
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: chase down a block or something. It's it's just wild

380
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: to see that that intensity is still there at that level.

381
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: But now it's just more about when he deploys it

382
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: at the right time, and that wisdom is definitely there.

383
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know, I'm.

384
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: Just I'm I'm hesitant to get too excited about anything

385
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: with the Lakers, although it is generally very fun to watch,

386
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: and I hate to say that in front of Testament

387
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: does maver e space.

388
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 4: It's fine, I'm totally fine.

389
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: It's wild, because I mean, I think the one thing too,

390
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: Like JJ Reddick was like, Okay, maybe we're gonna we'll

391
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: be a shoot a higher volume of threes. And now

392
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: we're I think, just second to the Celtics right now

393
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: in that department in terms of our effectiveness there from

394
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: three and a lot of that has to do with Luca,

395
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: but it's I don't know, things are, things are moving

396
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: in the right direction, but part of me is also

397
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: just conditioned to at this point not ever get my

398
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: hopes up high, just because it's hard for me, but

399
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: it is.

400
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 2: It is difficult to not be excited and you know,

401
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 2: at what we're seeing. Just one note of because I

402
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the face of the league

403
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: thing real quick, because that's like a big conversation that is, like,

404
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: I think, an interesting conversation. But even though it sounds

405
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 2: like sort of a dumb ESPN conversation where they're they're

406
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: just like, he's not the face of the league. He doesn't,

407
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: you know, where I do like Lebron looks tired in

408
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: a way that I've never seen him look on the court,

409
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: Like even at the end of the Pelicans game. I'm

410
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 2: not saying like he had an incredible game. I do

411
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 2: just want JJ to start taking him out like five

412
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: minutes earlier, Like I just work, Like after the Kyrie injury,

413
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 2: like I do worry about like it can't go on forever.

414
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: It can go on until it stops and he gets

415
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: hurt and he is forty and he's playing a lot

416
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: of time, not as much as he has in the past,

417
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: but like just really lean on those breaks, you know,

418
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: drive it. Let's drive very cautiously. Heading to the to

419
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 2: the playoffs would be my urging. But yeah, I think

420
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: a lot of people are having this conversation about like

421
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 2: the face of the league and like who's going to

422
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 2: take over once Lebron and staff are gone, And like

423
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 2: hearing people talk about that, I was reminded of that

424
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: Detroit playoff game where Lebron like before anybody thought it

425
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: was possible, like took over a game in a series

426
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: and just like single handedly won it for Cleveland against

427
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 2: you know, defending champions or you know. So I forget

428
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: if Detroit had won the year before or recently, but

429
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: it was it was just an incredible experience. It's always

430
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: like stood out to me, and I think it was

431
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: because like I really do think the NBA benefits from

432
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: having a main character, like whether you know I grew

433
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: up with Jordan, Well, I don't think we'll ever have

434
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 2: a Jordan again who's like, you know, approval rating is

435
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 2: like probably eighty percent, you know, whereas Lebron became like

436
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 2: the main protagonist slash antagonist of the league, like a

437
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 2: lot of people didn't like him, but like that was

438
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: the character or that was like all the attention was

439
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: focused around, and I think that was like what was

440
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 2: happening in that Detroit game was like me as an

441
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: NBA fan who grew up with Jordan, being like, ah,

442
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: we we have a main character again. We have like

443
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 2: somebody who's like kind of driving the league and is

444
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 2: kind of the face of the league again. And it

445
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 2: is just amazing that he's been able to be that

446
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 2: for as long as he has, and I like, is

447
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: making another run at being like one of the most relevant,

448
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 2: if not the most relevant player, like heading into the postseason,

449
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: like in terms of like narrative, in terms of like

450
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 2: people paying attention, and like, you know, I think the

451
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 2: Lakers are going to be a part of the conversation

452
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 2: of like who wins this year, And I think people

453
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 2: are going to be like rooting for and against Lebron

454
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: like that he is still just like the protagonist of

455
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: the NBA or antagonist depending on your opinion, but like

456
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 2: he is that like main character face of the league

457
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: that I think is for whatever reason, Like I don't

458
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 2: think it's true of like other of the NFL or

459
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 2: like Major League Baseball. I don't think they necessarily need

460
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 2: like the a main character. But for the NBA, it's

461
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 2: like a movie, you know, like the real like stat Nerd,

462
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: like basketball nerd or like film nerds might not need

463
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 2: like a strong protagonist, but like I feel like everybody

464
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: else just needs like that main character who we're either

465
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: like rooting for or against. And it's just he's been

466
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 2: carrying a lot of weight over two freaking decades.

467
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: It's crazy, Jasmine, who do you see being close to that?

468
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: Like when you look at the bevy of options, I.

469
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 4: Mean probably Luca, especially now that he's in LA, like

470
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 4: you know, the whole circus of being in LA in

471
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 4: general will just like heighten his you know, image even more.

472
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 4: The thing is is from watching Luca in Dallas for

473
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 4: seven seasons, like he doesn't really look for that kind

474
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 4: of attention, So I don't know that that's going to

475
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 4: Like if the league was like we want you to

476
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 4: be the face, I don't know that Luca is going

477
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 4: to be like, oh yeah, I want to do this,

478
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 4: like yeah, jam Yeah, Like I don't know, Like I

479
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 4: think that's the problem that the league's gonna run into.

480
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 4: I don't know that a lot of guys want that burden,

481
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 4: because it was a burden for Lebron, like like you said, Jack,

482
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 4: like Michael Jordan was like so revered. It's like this

483
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 4: mythical creature like that can be that's like not touch

484
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 4: and then you have like social media and like the

485
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 4: twenty four hour news cycle with Lebron's era, that you

486
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 4: can't really go back to something like Michael and so

487
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 4: going forward, it's just gonna get worse. Like Anthony Edwards

488
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 4: said at I think it was All Star weekend, He's

489
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 4: like somebody asked him, Oh, are you the next face

490
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 4: of the league. He's like, no, that's what Wemby's for.

491
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 4: But I don't know if Wemby is even going to

492
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 4: be that because people are already like an international player

493
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 4: can't be the face of the league, which is the rules. Yeah,

494
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 4: apparently some made up just put together in place all

495
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 4: of a sudden now, So I don't. I don't know.

496
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 4: I feel like it's going to be, uh, it's Lucas

497
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 4: if he wants it, But if he doesn't, then I

498
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 4: don't know where they go.

499
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 2: I don't I mean between Jordan and Lebron. Obviously we

500
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 2: had like Shaq and Kobe, and there was that one

501
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: moment I remember like like I'm viewing all like the

502
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: history of league or like my experiences with the league

503
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 2: through this, I'm realizing like a lot of the times,

504
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 2: I'm like like when Iverson won Game one against the

505
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: Lakers and it was like, oh my god, like maybe

506
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: he can just like do anything, you know, like maybe

507
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: this is going to be Like he was like the

508
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: guy who like he's kind of like you know Jordan.

509
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 2: In his early career, they were like, he's a ballhog.

510
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 2: He just like if I shot that many times, I'd

511
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 2: score thirty a game. And that was kind of how

512
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: Iverson was viewed. And then he had that one season

513
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 2: where they like put Ma Tumbo in the middle to

514
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: like protect the rim, and I was just like, oh

515
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 2: my god, like this we might have like the next

516
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: guy and then who could like you know, defy the

517
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: laws of physics. But yeah, I do feel like it's

518
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: been a Lebron league for a long time, and it

519
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,959
Speaker 2: might be Luca. I don't know. I don't know who

520
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 2: it is.

521
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe I don't know, but he doesn't.

522
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that Tatum and like the Celtics team reminds

523
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 2: me of like the that when Lebron like kind of

524
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: took it over. I think it was like back and

525
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 2: forth between him and then like the Spurs, you know,

526
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: like the the like just Spurs team being dominant, and

527
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 2: I feel like that's kind of what the Celtics team

528
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: is is like the Spurs. Like everybody is just like yeah, man,

529
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 2: like you got to be impressed with how they ate,

530
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: but we're all actually rooting against them, except for like

531
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: super basketball nerds.

532
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: It's like a hard balance of a having that aura

533
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: that feels mythical to the point that you can be

534
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: bestowed the label of the face of the league. Into

535
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: Chasment's point, the enthusiasm to want to have that kind

536
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: of scrutiny on you all the time and be able

537
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: to handle that is like a whole like because a

538
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: lot of people want it, but then can you handle it?

539
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: And then can you handle can then can you sustain it?

540
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: It's just such a it's like a hard thing. It's like,

541
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's one of those things where someone

542
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: like you can just anoint someone in the face of

543
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: the league. It just all of those factors have to

544
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: come together around a player and then it just sort

545
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: of makes it obvious rather than someone's like, yes, I'm

546
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: in line next for face of the league. It's like, well, no,

547
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you popping with the stats, but

548
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: people don't, like people are low key clowning you all

549
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: the time or whatever it is. But I think that's

550
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: just kind of Yeah, it's hard to see where it

551
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: comes from.

552
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

553
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean, for a long time we were like we

554
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: love doctor Mark Green, Anthony Edwards just coming through with

555
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: that energy. But he also, yeah, like to your point,

556
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: he's reluctant. He's definitely reluctant, and I think he knows

557
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: where he probably just falls short of those sort of

558
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: certain factors.

559
00:29:55,120 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, not as a shooter, but definitely to have

560
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: that yeah rule bestowed on.

561
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 4: It was find like every other night.

562
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know, I know, it's so funny the

563
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: league's favorite either Yeah, yeah, yeah, It's funny here all

564
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: the vents.

565
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 2: Like don't give your money away, like that are you doing?

566
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 2: Keep your money please?

567
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 4: I mean there's Jannis too though, Like I mean I

568
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 4: felt like for.

569
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: A moment, yeah, after that championship win and like he

570
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: was just like just posting his stories. Everyone's like yes,

571
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh my god, his stories are so great.

572
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, that chicken nugget order, like fifty five chicken

573
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 4: nuggets or whatever after Yeah, yeah, exactly.

574
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 2: He's probably going somewhere and then it'd be cool if

575
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: he went to the Knicks and then like had another

576
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: run with the Knicks or something like that. I feel

577
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: like that would be the face of the league status. Yeah.

578
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: Time will tell, Yeah, I think I think yeah, because

579
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: he's had it for US season, I feel like maybe

580
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: we do see him kind of take it over for

581
00:30:59,160 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: a little while.

582
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: He does have the space Jam quality. I think that's

583
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: the important thing. Is like, if you got more than anything,

584
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: you need the space Jam quality. And if you don't

585
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: have the space Jam quality, there's you're not going to

586
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: quite be the face of the league.

587
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 2: You mean, arms that look like he's in that scene

588
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 2: in Space Jamuy stretches arms out condunge from the three

589
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: point line, just by reality.

590
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: And mildly green skin and red nails.

591
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 2: Yes, let's uh, let's take a quick break, and when

592
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 2: we come back, we are going to do the rapid

593
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: fire Round questioning to close it out. We will be

Speaker 1: voice because Jasmine has been wonderful having you as a guest.

598

Speaker 2: Animalistic side, the revolutionary side. Yes, so sports takes.

604
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,880

00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: and you have to choose one or the other. That

616
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,240

00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: And then does he still play saxophone?

627
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 4: He played saxophone.

628
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 2: I just always think of that, and about his shooting Clinton,

629
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: He's like German shooting coats. That always made him saxophone

00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: Something new, like let's give you a new skill, like

00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: not just shooting a basketball So like, do you learn

Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah, very shooting off of like one leg

636
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 4: with his eyes closed or something.

00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, just very quirky.

638
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: I love that, okay, Jasmine, This or that Luca in

639
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: the late nineties and early two thousands, like you know,

640
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: playing against t mac Vance, Kobe Mellow, et cetera, or

641
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 1: Dirk in today's game.

642
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 4: M I'm gonna go Luca because then he wouldn't get

643
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 4: shamed for drinking beer.

644
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 2: That was just what you did. Yeah, Jordan ripped a

645
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: whole rack of Corse lights on on a golf course

646
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 2: before before putting up forty on somebody here you go

647
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: Lucas all right. And finally you can't pick Dirk or Luca,

648
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: but you can put together any two players to team

649
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 2: up from through at history. Who are you choosing just

650
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 2: in general?

651
00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I'm gonna go Steven ash because again

652
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 4: Mavericks and Lebron James. I was easy.

653
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that would be nice.

654
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, service, we like that, okay, Jasmine. Last question, Okay,

655
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: you can go back in time and live one year

656
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: as an NBA player and experience everything they experienced in

657
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: that single year. What player and year.

658
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 2: Are you choosing?

659
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 4: What year was it that Steph Curry won like unanimous MVP?

660
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 4: Whatever year that was?

661
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 2: Was that? Like that was fifteen sixteen?

662
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, fifteen sixteen? Oh never mind?

663
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 2: Is that from my final?

664
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 4: So then I'll do that year as Lebron James winning

665
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 4: the NBA Finals.

666
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there it is. Yeah, that'd be fine. I

667
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 2: want to be a Lebron James all right. And finally,

668
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: psych that wasn't the last one because we got to

669
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 2: pick the game of the week.

670
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, yep, Jasmine, let us know what do

671
00:35:59,719 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: we pay?

672
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: What do we need to keep our eyes on? We

673
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 2: got three to choose from only one right answer. On Saturday,

674
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Lakers are playing the Boston Celtics on ABC.

675
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 2: On Sunday, the Nuggets are playing the Thunder on ABC.

676
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,919
Speaker 2: Also later that day or maybe earlier, I'm not sure.

677
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 2: The Calves are at the Bucks on E S p N.

678
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 4: Where we going with I'm going Lakers Boston?

679
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: Okay, good, thank god? Yeah, that is the right answer,

680
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: and we appreciate you choosing the right answer. That's gonna

681
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: be something that is I'm gonna feel after that, but

682
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: probably bad. I feel like you guys don't match up

683
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: that well with the Celtics'. That's the other reason that

684
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 2: you know, my my main quest at this point as

685
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: a Sixers fan is like Sixers loses many more games

686
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 2: and we get to keep our pick. They have to

687
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 2: be in the bottom six to keep their pick. And

688
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 2: also a chip for Lebron. If we could get one

689
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 2: last chip for Lebron, that would be so fun. But

690
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 2: that's yeah, So I mean, if the Cavs can knock

691
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: off the Celtics for you, that's a that's a big mitzvah.

692
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 2: That would be very nice for Yeah, too.

693
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: Early, too early, but Jasmine, those were all the correct answers.
