0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 2>fourth quarters of basketball that we've ever seen.

<v Speaker 2>do you get down seventeen to begin with, all right,

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 2>it's a meat Friday. In case you're wondering, I know

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 2>you are smoked BLT sandwiches. I think BLTs might be

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 2>in the top five underrated sandwiches of all time. Smoked

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:44.199
<v Speaker 2>BLT sandwiches on the trigger also beer battered onion rings.

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Todd wanted onion rings because it's the Olympic onion rings.

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 2>So we're going to have our own there. That's our

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.480

<v Speaker 2>escapes Serbia. And this is how it sounded at the

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:34.839
<v Speaker 2>end of the game.

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:36.800

<v Speaker 8>Magnificent twenty six points and.

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 6>Heart break for Serbia.

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Noah Eagle with the call on NBC with Dwayne Wade

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Team USA. Seven minutes ago. You're down eleven and you're

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 2>searching for answers, and Dwayne Wade sent something really interesting.

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.679
<v Speaker 2>He said, forget your offense here, pick and roll. That's it.

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 2>And there were times when Kevin Durant said, I don't

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 2>even need the pick. I'm going to go, and that's

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.679
<v Speaker 2>probably a new way of saying I don't need the pick,

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>but I'm going to roll, and he certainly did. Steph

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Curry was wonderful, but I was worried that he was

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 2>great in the first half and they were getting blown

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 2>out and then all of a sudden, Lebron became Lebron

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 2>and KD hit some big buckets there. Devin Booker, Joe

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Ellenbiid played really well. I think the big difference was

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 2>the defense in the second half, because the first half,

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Serbia was hitting shots. And if you're going to beat

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Team USA, we talked about this from the beginning, you

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 2>have to hit threes. If you hit threes, you can

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 2>stay in the game with them, and that's what Serbia did.

0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Plus Joker got in foul trouble. He wasn't great yesterday day.

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.639
<v Speaker 2>And Lebron when he wants to get that full head

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 2>of steam, there's nobody you can There's nobody who can

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 2>stop him. Michael Jordan has even said, if Lebron gets

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 2>going to the hoop going right, I couldn't stop him,

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 2>and he's right. That's that's true. But Steph proving he's

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 2>the best shooter who's ever played basketball, and KD is

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 2>he just a sniper, He's just a bucket. But you're

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 2>watching the game and I kept thinking, Okay, how did

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.799
<v Speaker 2>you get down seventeen? I know we can applaud them

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 2>that they came back, and we thought at the beginning

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>of the games, I said, if they're going to lose,

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 2>it would probably be to France because it'd be a

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>home court advantage of sorts. Now you got Rudy Gobert

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 2>who's been benched, and Victor Winby Yama hasn't been really

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 2>the star yet, but that's your gold medal game coming up.

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Here is Steph Curry after his historical performance.

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 9>Is everything I imagine it to be. Obviously, this is

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 9>my first go around in the Olympics. Know we were

0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 9>gonna get challenged by Gray Servia team and the half

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 9>beat him three times. This summer was going to be tough.

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 9>I just kind of got lost in the moment of

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 9>understanding how big this stage is and what's a state

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 9>for this team?

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 6>And it was special.

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 9>It was the most fun, you know, I've had a

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 9>very long time, and you know, to dig deep like

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 9>we did with this group and get a win special.

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.280
<v Speaker 9>So I'm kind of basking in that right now. And obviously, no,

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 9>we got another tough challenge France on our home court.

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 2>So Steph was nine to fourteen from three point range,

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 2>finished with thirty six. That's one shy of Carmelo's US

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Olympic record set against Nigeria, and Melo was their court side.

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.719
<v Speaker 2>But Lebron had another triple double, the only player in

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Olympic men's basketball history with multiple triple doubles. When he

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.719
<v Speaker 2>wants to, he can still be the best player on

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 2>the floor. It's just he can't be that consistently. And

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 2>you saw that. You've seen that so far.

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:54.160
<v Speaker 4>But he won.

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 3>When he wants to. He can still do what.

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Very, very very few players can still do, even at

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 2>his age of thirty nine. So now you got Team

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.119
<v Speaker 2>USA going against France for the gold. It was fun,

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 2>but should it be that close? And I'll give credit

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 2>to Serbia And Charles Barkley said it yesterday. He said,

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 2>this worries me. This game worries me because he thought

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.679
<v Speaker 2>Serbia was mailing in the first two times they faced

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Team USA. And he was right because they're not going

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.040
<v Speaker 2>to show their hands. It didn't matter until you get

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.799
<v Speaker 2>to the knockout round. So what Charles was saying was true.

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.599
<v Speaker 2>Serbia was sort of going, yeah, let's go through the

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 2>motions here, Oh we got beat okay, and then you

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 2>get into that moment when the game really matters, and

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:43.280
<v Speaker 2>you could tell Serbia knew let's get him, get on

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 2>top of them early and make them panic a little bit.

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 2>And Team USA didn't panic.

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 7>Yes, Marv, the first half was like watching the Denver

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 7>Nuggets game where it's like, stop doubling him, Caldwell, Pope

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 7>is killing you.

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 3>Why would you leave him?

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 7>That's exactly what it was like in the first I

0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:59.839
<v Speaker 7>couldn't believe they kept doubling him.

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well you picked your poison with him. And guess

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>who was guarding Joker down the stretch. In the fourth quarter,

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.359
<v Speaker 2>Lebron and Joker got in foul trouble once again. You

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 2>get five foulsand international play. He didn't dominate the game

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.279
<v Speaker 2>at any point, but there's always that threat of he could.

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.719
<v Speaker 2>But they never allowed him to have one of those

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Joker like triple doubles where he's getting you know, thirty

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty and fifteen, but they hit big shots and I

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 2>expect them to beat France. I'm curious though, the philosophy.

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to know what Steve Kerr is going to

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.840
<v Speaker 2>say to them right before the gold medal game. Hey, guys,

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.239
<v Speaker 2>how about we take the lead after the first quarter?

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 2>How about we lead a halftime here?

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 6>All right?

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Because there were a lot of people on social media

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:49.919
<v Speaker 2>they had already given the victory to Serbia and Steve

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Kerr getting out coach. I mean, it was everything Lebron's.

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 2>They were calling him because if they were going to lose,

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.920
<v Speaker 2>that they were going to get the Bron. I was like, wow,

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 2>boy that and then it and it changed quickly, James quickly, Yes, Pauling.

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:04.839
<v Speaker 10>I have kind of a two part question. When there's

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.280
<v Speaker 10>about eight nine minutes left, I didn't think it looked

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 10>good for USA. It looked really bad clearly, and I

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 10>was like, I don't think they're going to pull us off.

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 10>And I started thinking about who's going to get the

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 10>blame tomorrow on shows like ours, and it would have

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 10>been the biggest topic in our country obviously. How what

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 10>level of a career undoing would have been for Steve

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 10>Kerr as a basketball coach.

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Pretty big because once again he benched Jason Tatum and

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 2>oh my gosh, does he know what he's doing? And

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Joel Embiid and put him on the bench. And I

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.360
<v Speaker 2>think it would have been Steve Kerr, followed closely by

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Lebron James, because he would have been labeled Lebron's as

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 2>he was was that two thousand and four that they

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 2>got the bronze medal, and he his Lebron's James. But

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I would say Steve Kerr because I think a lot

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 2>of people were very critical of his coaching, his rotations

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 2>here and you saw that again yesterday. So seventeen point

0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.679
<v Speaker 2>come back win over Serbia, you get Lebron at thirty

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 2>nine years. Here's another thing. I've been around all these

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 2>sports and Olympics for such a long period of time.

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 2>At one point yesterday in the fourth quarter, I just realized,

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I've got three of the greatest players that I've ever

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 2>seen on the floor together.

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 3>It's Lebron, it's Steph and KD. That's awesome, awesome.

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 2>And Steph even talked about how they're too unselfish, because hey,

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 2>I got the ball, I could throw it over to

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 2>KD or there's Lebron. It's not one of those where

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 2>you go, I got to take this on my own.

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 2>But I'm watching that and just kind of taken in

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 2>savoring the moment of we're seeing three of let's say,

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 2>top ten, top twelve, fifteen players of all time. Certainly

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 2>with the Lebron, Steph KD they could all be in

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 2>the top ten where they're all said and done. But

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 2>when you're looking at that, and you're looking and it's

0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 2>a snapshot of the last fifteen years been treated to

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 2>some great basketball. I mean, these are all timers and

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 2>hitting big shots. That's what you want. But Steph Curry

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 2>doing what he's doing, and there's nobody else on the

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.439
<v Speaker 2>planet like him. But then there's nobody like Katie, and

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 2>there's nobody like Lebron. Those are three unicorns in a

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.840
<v Speaker 2>game that doesn't produce many unicorns. There's a lot of wannabes.

0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 2>They want to be like somebody else. Those three are

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 2>all different than anybody else who's played the game. And

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.560
<v Speaker 2>I took that in as almost like a postcard from Paris.

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 2>You're seeing those three on the floor and we won't

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 2>see that again. And this is Steph's first Olympics, which

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 2>people still go, No, that can't be true.

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 6>It is.

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Getting caught up on international play. Your first Olympics, you're

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 2>down seventeen and he was the star until he needed

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 2>help and he got help. But Steve Kerr talked about

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 2>the win afterwards. Do we have Steve Kerr Kevin Durant, Okay,

0:09:58.200 --> 0:09:59.319
<v Speaker 2>we'll take Kevin Durant.

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 11>We dug deep then down fifteen that late in the game.

0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 11>I think we were down with fifteen with like eleven

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 11>seconds to go in the third and the fourth quarter.

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 11>Dominance that we showed. I think we won with thirty

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 11>four to fifteen fourteen, and by our defense and getting

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.720
<v Speaker 11>out and running transition be barely called players. We just

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:23.480
<v Speaker 11>played off of each other. Well, Steph Curry, we talked

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 11>about each game somebody, it might somebody have to step up.

0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.319
<v Speaker 11>It might be a night. And he came and had

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 11>the best night out of anybody the whole tournament. So

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 11>incredible to watch him knockdown shots to keep US afloat

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.760
<v Speaker 11>bron playing extremely hard the whole game. It was incredible. Man,

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.320
<v Speaker 11>Joel was insane to night. I just love what everybody did.

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.959
<v Speaker 2>I like when somebody who's great compliments somebody who's great,

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 2>when Katie is just saying, look at Steph, look at Lebron,

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.480
<v Speaker 2>look at Joel Embiid, while he also was great as well,

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 2>but to be able to see something like that, the

0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 2>talent that's out there, but also produce as well. The

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 2>women's basketball team is giving fifteen to Australia. If you're

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 2>following that, I was curious Jason Tatum didn't play again.

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 2>His MVP odds next season are far better than Steph Curry's,

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:19.079
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Durantz, Anthony Davis, Devin Booker and Lebron James. All

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:24.199
<v Speaker 2>these guys here, I mean crazy, but you're still looking

0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 2>at that rotation and I thought, boy, if they lose

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 2>and Jason Tatum doesn't play, Steve Kerr is gonna get

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 2>torn up again and it will be on Lebron as well.

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.520
<v Speaker 7>Yes, Mark, the over under for Jason Tatum against the

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 7>Warriors this season is forty five and a half.

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 3>No, it's not.

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 7>He's about to go off against Golden State.

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:48.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but what is Jalen Brown's over under? One hundred

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:52.240
<v Speaker 3>and fourteen and a half. He's going, yeah, seton.

0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 12>I feel like Steve Kerr is already getting it anyway

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 12>just because the games are close.

0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's one of those where I think

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Steve's like, I need a gold to take back to

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Golden State.

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:10.680
<v Speaker 3>He done with this.

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Let somebody else take over as the coach of Team USA.

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 3>What's the poll question today? Their Seaton.

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.080
<v Speaker 2>By the way, we'll talk to Joe Varden from the

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Athletic he was there watching the game in Paris. He'll

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 2>join us coming up in about ten minutes. What do

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.280
<v Speaker 2>you have here, marv or Seaton.

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 12>Let's see we could start with tougher result yesterday, Noah

0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 12>Lyles or Serbia.

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I would say Noah Lyles from the standpoint of he

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:41.079
<v Speaker 2>didn't have a chance because he was sick. Serbia had

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 2>a chance. They were up seventeen. That'd be seventeen, yes,

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Noah Lyles. If he was head by ten meters and lost,

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:54.199
<v Speaker 2>that would be like Serbia. But he was sick and

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.440
<v Speaker 2>ended up with the bronze, so which is what Serbia

0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:58.880
<v Speaker 2>is going to end up with as well.

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 12>Which is actually pretty remarkable that he had COVID and

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 12>still won bronze.

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I would Serbia was leading, Noah Lyles was

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.679
<v Speaker 2>struggling the entire time, in the two hundred meters in

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 2>an event that he was favored to win Serbia wasn't

0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 2>favored to win.

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Paulie, I.

0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:18.880
<v Speaker 10>Would love to hear a sports radio show in Serbia

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.440
<v Speaker 10>this morning. They just eviscerating their coat. They have to

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.679
<v Speaker 10>have it. It's a big country, right. But the thing

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 10>with Noah Lyles though the COVID situation with him, there

0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 10>was about a fifteen minute window after the race where

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 10>he was getting ripped up on social media and other people.

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.720
<v Speaker 10>He was boastful before the race. He said this race

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:37.959
<v Speaker 10>was going to be a joke and a laugher and

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 10>things like this, and for about fifteen minutes before people

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 10>found out he had COVID and he was disabled to

0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 10>some point for that race. He was taking a beating anyway,

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 10>and then it got muted after they found out he

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:49.439
<v Speaker 10>was ill.

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, softened a little bit. What I love about the

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.400
<v Speaker 2>two hundred meters in all races is when they make

0:13:55.480 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 2>the turn, where are you on the turn? And you'll

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>hear some of the announcers, the analyst Auto Bolden, Hey,

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 2>if you're not in front of the turn, you're going

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 2>to get smoked. Because certain runners get out quick, get

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 2>out early, and then you always have those runners that

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 2>have the late kick, and I love watching that you

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.560
<v Speaker 2>make the turn and once again I go back and

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I know I'm on repeat here when I watch you,

0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Saint Bolt make the turn in London and then you realized,

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, it is over.

0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:28.480
<v Speaker 3>I even said that to my wife.

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 2>So they're probably one hundred meters in and I say

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.120
<v Speaker 2>it's over, and she goes, wait, they're done. I go, no,

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 2>the race is over because where Usain Bolt was on

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>the turn, you just knew. And that's what's amazing. Some

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 2>of these runners know if I don't get out and

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 2>if I can see them, I'm in trouble. And that

0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 2>was the case with you, Saint Bolt. All right, let

0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 2>me take a break. Phone calls always welcome. Operator Tyler

0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 2>been covering Team USA over in Paris during the Summer Olympics. Joe,

0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 2>if I was sitting next to you with seven minutes

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 2>to go and Team USA was down eleven, what would

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 2>you be saying.

0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:32.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, I wouldn't be saying anything because I had my

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 5>head buried in the laptop writing about how this collection

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 5>of all time legendary NBA greats players and coaches had

0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:48.120
<v Speaker 5>collectively failed and that USA basketball was heading into a

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 5>extended period of soul searching with the LA Olympics coming

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 5>up and them not being defending champions. That was the scenario, guys.

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.160
<v Speaker 5>They were dominated. Even when they made that little push

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 5>there in the third quarter to cut it to six,

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.200
<v Speaker 5>it was right back up to fifteen with thirty seconds left.

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:11.840
<v Speaker 5>Ridiculous four point play. So what happened from the seven

0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:16.240
<v Speaker 5>minute mark in was once in a lifetime type stuff.

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's what I wonder.

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.720
<v Speaker 2>It's nice to applaud them that they did come back,

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:24.080
<v Speaker 2>but how do they get down seventeen in the first place?

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think it's it's a lesson. How don't mean

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:29.560
<v Speaker 5>to go on too long here, but I do think

0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 5>what happened last night is a lesson for anyone who's

0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:37.000
<v Speaker 5>not paying attention about how much the game has changed.

0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:41.119
<v Speaker 5>And it answered a question that we didn't have an

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.520
<v Speaker 5>answer to coming into these Olympics, which is can the

0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:48.680
<v Speaker 5>USA continue to just flood the talent or the court

0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:53.399
<v Speaker 5>with talent and guarantee themselves a gold medal. The answer

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 5>is no, they can't do that anymore.

0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:56.440
<v Speaker 6>Now.

0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 5>They may very well win tomorrow night, But what we

0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:03.359
<v Speaker 5>learned is that a team built around just one superstar,

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:09.879
<v Speaker 5>with one competent shooter and in Bogie Bogdanovic, and then

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.880
<v Speaker 5>role players who are who are solid EuroLeague role players,

0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:19.720
<v Speaker 5>they can dictate the pace of play against anybody. And

0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 5>so what we saw last night, I believe was awesome

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:24.720
<v Speaker 5>and I think you were alluding to it at the top,

0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:29.720
<v Speaker 5>because you see these four, these four former MVPs, they're

0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.960
<v Speaker 5>on the court together and they had to do this.

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.719
<v Speaker 5>They they all had to play as well as they

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 5>could possibly play to beat Serbia, and I think that

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.919
<v Speaker 5>is af I think that that is a positive, defining

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.840
<v Speaker 5>moment for them and for the game at large, because

0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.720
<v Speaker 5>it does speak to how far the rest of the

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 5>world has come.

0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.159
<v Speaker 3>Who was going to take the heat if Team USA

0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:55.920
<v Speaker 3>had lost.

0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:57.479
<v Speaker 5>You you hit it. You were right on the money there.

0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 5>I mean, Kurr gets ripped every day, he gets ripped

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 5>for not playing Tatum, which that one kind of is.

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 5>I'm bewildered by it. But Steve gets ripped all the time.

0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 5>They didn't win at the World Cup last year either,

0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:17.199
<v Speaker 5>so his path is very similar to Popovich's. You know,

0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 5>great all time NBA coach had it hard with Team USA.

0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 5>And then you said Lebron, I mean yeah, like I

0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.679
<v Speaker 5>had it in the story. You know, he was headed

0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 5>for two bronze medals. That is just that's not a

0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 5>thing for USA basketball and that was going to be

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.679
<v Speaker 5>hung on him. And now he's got a chance for

0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:43.280
<v Speaker 5>three goals, which is more than Michael you know, it's

0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:45.919
<v Speaker 5>all time legendary stuff. And it was this close to

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:47.560
<v Speaker 5>going going the other way.

0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 3>And you look at these three players.

0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm not putting em beat in there, but like we can,

0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:55.360
<v Speaker 2>but I'm talking, you know what Lebron does. He's a unicorn.

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.439
<v Speaker 2>Nobody's been like KD and nobody's like Steph Curry. And

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.920
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing this unfold, but you're also seeing it unfold

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 2>and you're going they have to be who they are

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:09.440
<v Speaker 2>to knock off Serbia, which to you know, what you're

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 2>saying is a credit to basketball around the world. And

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I always worry about these guys who are fringe NBA

0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.919
<v Speaker 2>players or maybe couldn't get into the NBA. This is

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:22.159
<v Speaker 2>their moment to show that they can play and I

0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:26.879
<v Speaker 2>don't know, you know, the French team, like how dangerous

0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 2>are they going into this game after we just saw

0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 2>this close game?

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.479
<v Speaker 5>So there's a lot to discuss with this, and I

0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.199
<v Speaker 5>want to start with it. I was here in January

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:41.919
<v Speaker 5>for ten days. I did a bunch of stuff. The

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:45.920
<v Speaker 5>Cavs and Nets were here and they like I. Since

0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:47.919
<v Speaker 5>I knew I would be cover the Olympics and knew

0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:50.520
<v Speaker 5>I was working on some international stories, I thought i'd

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.560
<v Speaker 5>come out here with them. And so in the process

0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 5>of all the reporting, I got a chance to sit

0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:59.040
<v Speaker 5>down with Vincent Collette, who is the head coach for France,

0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:02.159
<v Speaker 5>and he was Wembenya Thomas coach here with the Paris

0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 5>Metropolitans for that year before he was drafted in the NBA,

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.880
<v Speaker 5>and by French rule, if you're coaching the national team

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.480
<v Speaker 5>at the Olympics, you can't coach that year in the

0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 5>French league. So coach Collette was off for a year.

0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 5>And he said he'd been watching the NBA every night

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.359
<v Speaker 5>because of Wemby and then before those games, because they're

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:26.679
<v Speaker 5>on so late here, he was watching the EuroLeague and

0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:30.560
<v Speaker 5>he said that he thinks there are at least four

0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:34.879
<v Speaker 5>EuroLeague teams that could beat the Detroit Pistons and the

0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:39.199
<v Speaker 5>Washington Wizards. His point is that that's how far the

0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:43.240
<v Speaker 5>talent has come here in Europe to where it's getting

0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:45.760
<v Speaker 5>a lot closer to soccer. We're like, yes, we have

0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:48.800
<v Speaker 5>the Premier League, but then there's also great leagues in

0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:52.439
<v Speaker 5>France and in Spain and whatever the case. Like, there

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.760
<v Speaker 5>are teams and there are players outside of the main

0:21:56.080 --> 0:22:00.720
<v Speaker 5>sport playing country that can really compete. And so that's

0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.240
<v Speaker 5>what happened with Serbia. And now you get to France

0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:06.600
<v Speaker 5>and you look at their roster and it's got Wemby

0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:11.000
<v Speaker 5>and so you think, okay, like he's their guy. Well

0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 5>they're two best players, and I'm sorry, Like the one

0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:16.680
<v Speaker 5>I know because he used to play for the Celtics.

0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:19.399
<v Speaker 5>The other guy his name, his name escapes me. He

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.919
<v Speaker 5>looks like in the face, kind of like our Darren Williams,

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:27.120
<v Speaker 5>but he's you know, he's a guard and he's physical

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:31.840
<v Speaker 5>and he's a EuroLeague player. But that doesn't mean what

0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:37.840
<v Speaker 5>it used to. So like, the French do not have

0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:42.000
<v Speaker 5>the talent that the United States has there they should

0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:45.720
<v Speaker 5>be especially weak at the guard positions, but they have

0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:48.720
<v Speaker 5>dictated the pace of play against two teams that are

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:53.000
<v Speaker 5>loaded with NBA talent, and they beat them both. Canada,

0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:56.480
<v Speaker 5>to me, was always the team that could really scare

0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.719
<v Speaker 5>the US because they have Shay Gilgess Alexander, who's as

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:01.959
<v Speaker 5>good as any player in the NBA, and then they

0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:04.160
<v Speaker 5>had a bunch of role players who are all NBA

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:08.199
<v Speaker 5>level guys. They took care of They took care of Canada,

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:11.320
<v Speaker 5>and then you got Germany, defending World Cup champ. Dennis

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:15.080
<v Speaker 5>Shrewder dictates the pace of play in Foeba. He's got

0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:19.840
<v Speaker 5>the Wagner brothers, Tice, a couple other guys. They France

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:23.600
<v Speaker 5>just out physicaled them. They shouldn't be able to do

0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 5>that to the US. They shouldn't be able to keep

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:29.439
<v Speaker 5>up with the pace that Lebron and Steph set. But

0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:32.960
<v Speaker 5>if they do, then the crowd gets involved and it

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 5>becomes another nervy moment. So we'll see if the US

0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:39.560
<v Speaker 5>can avoid getting into France's style of play.

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:42.080
<v Speaker 2>We're talking to Joe Varden, joining us from Paris. He's

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:45.520
<v Speaker 2>NBA senior writer for The Athletic covering the Summer Olympics.

0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:51.080
<v Speaker 2>How entertaining is the Joe ellenb versus France story to you.

0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:57.080
<v Speaker 5>I mean I've written it, I don't know five times now.

0:23:57.720 --> 0:23:59.720
<v Speaker 5>My reporting on this Dan goes all the way back

0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:01.560
<v Speaker 5>to I was telling you in January. One of the

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:05.720
<v Speaker 5>stories I came back with is that the French federation

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 5>on the record and they they had like receipts. They

0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:14.760
<v Speaker 5>said that they helped him get a French passport because

0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:18.920
<v Speaker 5>he told them to, because he wanted to play for them,

0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:22.560
<v Speaker 5>and they were explicit about this. So it goes back

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:27.399
<v Speaker 5>at least that far that like the French, you know,

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:32.440
<v Speaker 5>the basketball Federation, the government, you know, President mccron called

0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:36.399
<v Speaker 5>EMBIID to try to recruit him after the passport had

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:39.920
<v Speaker 5>been granted, and then the fans at large, like they

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:44.080
<v Speaker 5>know all this stuff, and so it's been fascinating to

0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:48.080
<v Speaker 5>me to see their reaction to him, but then watch

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:51.639
<v Speaker 5>sort of the evolution of Joelle through this. He was

0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:55.800
<v Speaker 5>he was startled the first game. He was also like

0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:59.679
<v Speaker 5>really sick, which we didn't know until recently. You know,

0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 5>Grant Hill had told me that that Joel was so

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 5>sick that day that he had to drive up the

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:08.600
<v Speaker 5>day of the game from Paris to Lele separately. But

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:11.440
<v Speaker 5>he was he seemed to be taken back by the booze,

0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:14.679
<v Speaker 5>and then his teammates got his back and started waving

0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:17.240
<v Speaker 5>the boos on with him, and then he started to

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:20.880
<v Speaker 5>shift his his commentary about what was going on. At

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:24.200
<v Speaker 5>one point he said he doesn't care if they boo.

0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:27.399
<v Speaker 5>Then he said, well, I'm an American, uh, And I

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:30.800
<v Speaker 5>was always going to play for team USA. And then

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:34.960
<v Speaker 5>he said he hinted strongly that the USA players wanted

0:25:35.000 --> 0:25:39.160
<v Speaker 5>him and the French players didn't. And now he said, well,

0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:41.600
<v Speaker 5>you know, I love France, and I was always going

0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:44.480
<v Speaker 5>to play for Cameroon if they if they qualified for

0:25:44.520 --> 0:25:47.320
<v Speaker 5>the Olympics, but since they didn't, I picked the US.

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:50.200
<v Speaker 5>So it's to me what's been fun has been the

0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:55.120
<v Speaker 5>evolution of the saga instead of just like, you know,

0:25:55.400 --> 0:25:59.480
<v Speaker 5>Joel making the one inappropriate gesture and you know, fans

0:25:59.560 --> 0:26:01.440
<v Speaker 5>yelling back like I don't care as much about that,

0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:04.600
<v Speaker 5>but I've been intrigued to watch him bead handle all this.

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:09.800
<v Speaker 2>But this isn't quid pro quo that France will get

0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:12.240
<v Speaker 2>you a passport, but will get you a passport but

0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:13.480
<v Speaker 2>you must play for it.

0:26:13.760 --> 0:26:15.639
<v Speaker 3>Is that what you think happened here?

0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:22.080
<v Speaker 5>No, it was more like I mean, the recruitment goes

0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:26.679
<v Speaker 5>back years by Boris Diao, you know, we know him

0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:30.120
<v Speaker 5>well in the US, and the French Federation president, who

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:32.960
<v Speaker 5>we would not know in the US. But they were

0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:38.000
<v Speaker 5>taking meetings with Joel, like in twenty twenty one, even

0:26:38.640 --> 0:26:41.320
<v Speaker 5>to gauge his interest. And the reason why is for

0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:45.680
<v Speaker 5>years before that he had stated in several French publications

0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:50.200
<v Speaker 5>that he had interest in doing this. So they recruit him,

0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 5>and they recruit him, and according to them, they had

0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:56.960
<v Speaker 5>gotten him to the point where he said, okay, I

0:26:57.000 --> 0:26:59.679
<v Speaker 5>am going to play and they said, well, you need

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:01.960
<v Speaker 5>you need to be a French citizen to be on

0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 5>the team, and according to them, he said, okay, get

0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:09.880
<v Speaker 5>me a passport. You know, Joel, through a spokesman, has

0:27:09.920 --> 0:27:15.480
<v Speaker 5>denied this, has denied the quid pro quo. But it's

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:21.920
<v Speaker 5>it's it's hard to it's hard to believe that this

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:25.880
<v Speaker 5>isn't at least very close to true, especially because they're

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:29.280
<v Speaker 5>explicit the French Federation guys, they're explicit in that like

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:32.679
<v Speaker 5>this is not done in France. They are always playing

0:27:32.680 --> 0:27:36.680
<v Speaker 5>guys who just are from this country period. Joel has

0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:39.600
<v Speaker 5>never lived there. That they were making an exception for

0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:43.000
<v Speaker 5>a truly great player who had at the time wanted

0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:46.880
<v Speaker 5>to do it. So I think that's all real I do.

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:51.040
<v Speaker 5>And I think that you know, Joel's evolution from where

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:53.119
<v Speaker 5>he was and wanting to play for them and then

0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:57.640
<v Speaker 5>ultimately picking the US, you know, is a fascinating saga too.

0:27:58.440 --> 0:28:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Finished this sentence. If a team USA loses to France

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:04.720
<v Speaker 2>this weekend, do dot don.

0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:08.359
<v Speaker 5>It's a failure, and it's a it's a it's a

0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:11.280
<v Speaker 5>total reset and that is unfortunately. You know, I just

0:28:11.320 --> 0:28:15.359
<v Speaker 5>got through talking to you this beautiful state of where

0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:19.960
<v Speaker 5>we are as a basketball playing universe, and I believe

0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:22.359
<v Speaker 5>all that I do. But at the same time, we

0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:26.159
<v Speaker 5>haven't cleared that bar yet where anything other than gold

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:31.000
<v Speaker 5>is acceptable for USA. And the fact remains, Dan, this

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:33.760
<v Speaker 5>is a team with eleven All Stars on it. They've

0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:37.520
<v Speaker 5>never done that before, and it is Lebron and it

0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:43.640
<v Speaker 5>is KD and Steph altogether with MBT this this team

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:47.640
<v Speaker 5>has to win. Uh the twenty eight team. With the

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:51.320
<v Speaker 5>Olympics being in LA, the world's going to be even

0:28:51.360 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 5>better France, like as we know, you know, we had

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:59.240
<v Speaker 5>Victor and kolbally drafted two years ago or last year,

0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:02.360
<v Speaker 5>and then this summer we had four French guys picked

0:29:03.000 --> 0:29:04.920
<v Speaker 5>in the top round of the NBA draft and none

0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:07.160
<v Speaker 5>of them are on this team. So France is going

0:29:07.240 --> 0:29:10.200
<v Speaker 5>to be great for a while, but the pressure will

0:29:10.200 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 5>still be there in La. I think once we get

0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:16.120
<v Speaker 5>past own La, it's going to be a different discussion,

0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:17.520
<v Speaker 5>and we're going to look at it the way we

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:20.800
<v Speaker 5>do like a soccer World Cup or soccer Olympics, where

0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:24.800
<v Speaker 5>there are a number of countries that can win regardless

0:29:24.800 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 5>of who sent. But for now, all that stuff aside,

0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 5>the US has to get it done tomorrow.

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Great stuff, Joe, thanks for joining us. We appreciate your

0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:36.200
<v Speaker 2>time anytime. Dan.

0:29:36.240 --> 0:29:37.560
<v Speaker 3>You know that that's Joe.

0:29:37.400 --> 0:29:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Varden, senior NBA writer for the athletic covering team USA.

0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 2>At the Summer Olympics. We may have to give back

0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:45.640
<v Speaker 2>to the Statue of Liberty if we lose. I think

0:29:46.200 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 2>that's only fair. Just get a boat and take it

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:51.280
<v Speaker 2>back and give it back to them.

0:29:51.320 --> 0:29:52.800
<v Speaker 3>If we lose, just strap it on top.

0:29:52.920 --> 0:29:55.160
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, like a like a mattress on top of an SUV.

0:29:57.160 --> 0:29:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Twenty twenty eight is going to be interesting.

0:29:59.120 --> 0:30:02.680
<v Speaker 2>As Joe pointed out, well, because you know is Lebron

0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 2>is going to be what forty three? Is he going

0:30:05.160 --> 0:30:07.320
<v Speaker 2>to try to play? Steph Curry is going to be

0:30:07.480 --> 0:30:12.280
<v Speaker 2>forty kd is he going to be forty one? You

0:30:12.280 --> 0:30:17.320
<v Speaker 2>know this Baton exchange didn't happen because it was going

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:20.000
<v Speaker 2>to be like, you know, Anthony Edward's going to be there,

0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:22.600
<v Speaker 2>and Devin Booker is going to be there, Jason Tatum

0:30:22.680 --> 0:30:24.920
<v Speaker 2>and you know there is some young talent.

0:30:25.600 --> 0:30:28.760
<v Speaker 3>We just it still comes back to game on the line.

0:30:29.640 --> 0:30:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Steve Kerr goes, let me put these guys in and

0:30:32.480 --> 0:30:35.560
<v Speaker 2>in four years He's right, France is going to be

0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:39.920
<v Speaker 2>a monster. In four years they are Germany as well,

0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 2>and they'll be you know, Canada as well. So Team

0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:47.960
<v Speaker 2>USA right now as opposed to in four years or

0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:51.960
<v Speaker 2>eight years, m'd be a whole different landscape when it

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:54.040
<v Speaker 2>comes to playing for a gold medal.

0:30:54.440 --> 0:30:56.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Paul, I don't know.

<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Good morning.

0:34:10.040 --> 0:34:13.520
<v Speaker 6>So I got a baseball name fact for you and

0:34:13.680 --> 0:34:17.880
<v Speaker 6>a baseball trivia question for you. Okay, in honor of

0:34:18.040 --> 0:34:20.880
<v Speaker 6>my pick for Rookie of the Year, Jackson Merrill, this

0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 6>is the first major League baseball season in history that

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:27.040
<v Speaker 6>has more players with the first name of Jackson than

0:34:27.080 --> 0:34:28.240
<v Speaker 6>the last name of Jackson.

0:34:31.160 --> 0:34:35.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, that's that's a very niche trivia question there,

0:34:35.239 --> 0:34:35.720
<v Speaker 2>or fact?

0:34:35.920 --> 0:34:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Thank you? What else?

0:34:38.400 --> 0:34:40.279
<v Speaker 6>And then in honor of the Padres kind of keeping

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:43.040
<v Speaker 6>that going getting their second no hitter in franchise history

0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:45.600
<v Speaker 6>a couple of weeks ago, there are three major league

0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:49.239
<v Speaker 6>teams with only one no hitter to their name. Can

0:34:49.320 --> 0:34:51.280
<v Speaker 6>you name them?

0:34:51.320 --> 0:35:04.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay? The New York Mets they have two, Paulie Minnesota Twins.

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:08.760
<v Speaker 6>Uh, the Twins have seven?

0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:09.800
<v Speaker 3>Was close?

0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:13.680
<v Speaker 10>The first one though, was special?

0:35:13.719 --> 0:35:16.520
<v Speaker 3>So special? Yeah? The one? Yeah, yes, Marvin.

0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:18.040
<v Speaker 7>The Diamondbacks.

0:35:19.440 --> 0:35:20.680
<v Speaker 6>The Diamondbacks have three.

0:35:21.400 --> 0:35:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, the Blue Jays, correct, because Dave Steve lost two

0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:32.279
<v Speaker 2>no hitters in the ninth inning, Yes, PAULI was that?

0:35:32.440 --> 0:35:33.000
<v Speaker 10>Ri Dickey?

0:35:33.520 --> 0:35:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Ari Dicky?

0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:40.240
<v Speaker 2>I believe, yes, Justin.

0:35:41.719 --> 0:35:44.600
<v Speaker 6>You have then the Rockies and the Raids.

0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:47.319
<v Speaker 2>All right, well, thank you, Justin? Yeah, I think Ari

0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Dickey the knuckleballer threw a no hitter with Toronto. I

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:54.160
<v Speaker 2>remember Dave Steve had I think two no hitters broken

0:35:54.200 --> 0:35:55.000
<v Speaker 2>up in the ninth inning.

0:35:55.960 --> 0:35:58.720
<v Speaker 3>Bob in Montana, I know it is Dave Steve.

0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:02.040
<v Speaker 10>He had two broken up and then got one on

0:36:02.120 --> 0:36:05.439
<v Speaker 10>the road in the nineteen ninety season, was dasty.

0:36:05.200 --> 0:36:10.919
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, Hey, Bob, oh, hey, dp Hey.

0:36:11.000 --> 0:36:13.920
<v Speaker 4>Two quick things. First and foremost, thanks for the recommendation

0:36:14.000 --> 0:36:15.600
<v Speaker 4>of going to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:17.759
<v Speaker 4>and seeing the Green Day exit. But I was just

0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:21.000
<v Speaker 4>there on Monday for the first time ever. You got

0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:23.080
<v Speaker 4>the doors, and then right next door to the doors

0:36:23.160 --> 0:36:24.759
<v Speaker 4>is Green Day and then right around the corner of

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:26.879
<v Speaker 4>the Elvis is Elvis. So I had a really good time.

0:36:26.960 --> 0:36:30.799
<v Speaker 4>So thanks for that recommendation. And then secondly, when did

0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:33.279
<v Speaker 4>you guys have your big summer vacation? Here another one

0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:34.799
<v Speaker 4>one of it that's coming up. I didn't know if

0:36:34.800 --> 0:36:37.080
<v Speaker 4>anybody brought up your boat christening, because that's like the

0:36:37.120 --> 0:36:40.719
<v Speaker 4>next big important thing after naming your boat. So obviously

0:36:40.760 --> 0:36:42.279
<v Speaker 4>the first person you want to have to do it

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:44.279
<v Speaker 4>is your beautiful and gracious wife, Susan. But I was

0:36:44.320 --> 0:36:46.960
<v Speaker 4>going to encourage you maybe to think outside the box

0:36:47.000 --> 0:36:51.640
<v Speaker 4>and have some famous ladies sports athlete like maybe Anakornakova

0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:55.839
<v Speaker 4>or Ronda Rousey or the hottest w NBA player out

0:36:55.880 --> 0:36:58.279

0:36:58.320 --> 0:37:00.640
<v Speaker 4>your boat all welcome.

0:37:00.960 --> 0:37:01.800
<v Speaker 3>They're all welcome.

0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:04.480
<v Speaker 2>It's probably just going to be me with a beer

0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:07.760
<v Speaker 2>and that's about it and my dog Winnie.

0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:09.919

0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I have drive bys, I have stragglers that they always

0:37:24.480 --> 0:37:26.200
<v Speaker 2>come by and then they'll say, what are you watching?

0:37:27.040 --> 0:37:29.480
<v Speaker 2>And then I have to say I'm watching Bourne Supremacy

0:37:29.480 --> 0:37:31.839

<v Speaker 14>his all the last lap of the Indy five hundred

0:37:56.680 --> 0:38:01.359
<v Speaker 14>this year was absolutely spectacular. Secondly, was there a pie

0:38:01.360 --> 0:38:03.600
<v Speaker 14>of the face bet with the Dante about the point

0:38:03.640 --> 0:38:05.880
<v Speaker 14>spread with USA basketball?

0:38:06.400 --> 0:38:10.720
<v Speaker 2>I think, uh, yes, that's a good call. Jason Paulie's

0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:12.360
<v Speaker 2>got his hand raised.

0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:12.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:38:12.719 --> 0:38:14.760
<v Speaker 10>I was giving five and a half for the duration

0:38:14.840 --> 0:38:19.080
<v Speaker 10>of the tournament Day four, whom.

0:38:19.920 --> 0:38:20.120
<v Speaker 6>I know.

0:38:20.239 --> 0:38:22.480
<v Speaker 10>It looked like they were gonna lose. Wow, but then

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:25.160
<v Speaker 10>they were. I think they're up by five.

0:38:25.280 --> 0:38:27.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what m could have been a push.

0:38:27.719 --> 0:38:29.640
<v Speaker 10>Should I double down on France USA?

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:33.600
<v Speaker 3>Okay, but I'd have to know what the point spread is.

0:38:34.239 --> 0:38:34.520
<v Speaker 6>I don't.

0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:37.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't have the point spread yet, checking because if

0:38:37.160 --> 0:38:40.839
<v Speaker 2>you want to double down, I'll let you do the

0:38:40.880 --> 0:38:44.400
<v Speaker 2>point spread. Well, no, I'm going to have to confer

0:38:44.680 --> 0:38:46.120
<v Speaker 2>with the other Danuts.

0:38:46.280 --> 0:38:48.520
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, because I think I bet Marvin on the point

0:38:48.560 --> 0:38:50.000
<v Speaker 10>spread for the tournament.

0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:51.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh, for the entire thing. Oh, I think.

0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So that's different. So that's that's you against paul Yes, Mark.

0:38:56.280 --> 0:38:58.959
<v Speaker 7>No, it's me and Seaton against.

0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's even better.

0:39:01.040 --> 0:39:04.440
<v Speaker 2>No, there's no other Yeah, it was this side versus

0:39:04.520 --> 0:39:09.960
<v Speaker 2>that side. Yeah, Toddler. You you jumped on you jumped

0:39:10.000 --> 0:39:10.920
<v Speaker 2>on Polly's back.

0:39:11.080 --> 0:39:16.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if you have said anything. If Marvin didn't bring

0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:17.600
<v Speaker 3>that up, it was not top of mind.

0:39:19.480 --> 0:39:21.360
<v Speaker 7>It was during the game yesterday that I was watching,

0:39:21.440 --> 0:39:22.240
<v Speaker 7>but not this by.

0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:26.240
<v Speaker 2>We got two Pais shakour bonus cover. I love it, Marvin,

0:39:26.320 --> 0:39:29.239
<v Speaker 2>good call there. It was this side of the Dan

0:39:29.320 --> 0:39:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Ance versus that side instead of front row back row.

0:39:33.239 --> 0:39:36.439
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we all win. We all win.

0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Though we'll talk about Jim Harbaugh shaking off questions yesterday.

0:39:41.200 --> 0:39:43.880
<v Speaker 2>This was a lot different than the question that he

0:39:44.000 --> 0:39:46.719
<v Speaker 2>was answering a couple of days ago, where he was

0:39:46.760 --> 0:39:51.040
<v Speaker 2>pretty defiant, don't cheat, don't lie, don't steal, don't do anything.

0:39:52.640 --> 0:39:55.920
<v Speaker 2>This one was why can't we just let the kids benefit?

0:39:56.480 --> 0:40:00.120
<v Speaker 2>You know this is all about the kids? Well it is, yes,

0:40:00.680 --> 0:40:03.160
<v Speaker 2>but the grown ups tend to screw it up. Jim.

0:40:03.320 --> 0:40:08.120
<v Speaker 2>That's the problem. So that's why you sat out for

0:40:08.160 --> 0:40:11.239
<v Speaker 2>a couple of games this past season. But look, if

0:40:11.239 --> 0:40:14.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm a Michigan fan, Michigan alum, I probably go all right,

0:40:14.880 --> 0:40:18.320
<v Speaker 2>So what we we won a national title. If you

0:40:18.800 --> 0:40:21.279
<v Speaker 2>if you don't lose the national title, if they don't

0:40:21.280 --> 0:40:24.920
<v Speaker 2>make you vacate anything, then you go big deal.

0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:26.280
<v Speaker 3>Everybody else cheats.

0:40:26.360 --> 0:40:29.480
<v Speaker 2>So what now the Connors Stallions thing that's going to

0:40:29.520 --> 0:40:33.200
<v Speaker 2>stay awhile and this documentary coming out where he is interviewed.

0:40:33.880 --> 0:40:39.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm really curious of how they portray this documentary, but

0:40:39.520 --> 0:40:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I think that's coming out during the football season. At

0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:44.600
<v Speaker 2>least that would make the most sense. All right, seatan

0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:48.760
<v Speaker 2>the results from the poll question for first hour, JJ Watt,

0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:51.800
<v Speaker 2>who's going to join us in a ten minutes from now.

0:40:52.440 --> 0:40:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Let's see we've got up there. Would you rather blow

0:40:54.200 --> 0:40:55.760
<v Speaker 3>a lead or have no chance?

0:40:57.640 --> 0:40:58.160
<v Speaker 12>Right now?

0:40:58.600 --> 0:40:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Seventy four percent.

0:40:59.600 --> 0:41:02.879
<v Speaker 12>Of the audio would rather have no chance. I don't

0:41:02.920 --> 0:41:05.200
<v Speaker 12>get that at No, I don't get that at all.

0:41:05.600 --> 0:41:07.960
<v Speaker 12>You don't want to be I mean, blowing the lead stings.

0:41:07.960 --> 0:41:09.799
<v Speaker 12>But at least you could say like you were competitive.

0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:11.920
<v Speaker 12>Having no chance, You're like, well I got there, but

0:41:12.520 --> 0:41:13.320
<v Speaker 12>it was terrible.

0:41:13.840 --> 0:41:16.840
<v Speaker 2>No, you want a chance. Yes, you blew a seventeen

0:41:16.920 --> 0:41:20.879
<v Speaker 2>point lead. You were at least up seventeen on maybe

0:41:21.000 --> 0:41:26.760
<v Speaker 2>the greatest collection of basketball talent ever put together. Doesn't

0:41:26.800 --> 0:41:29.440
<v Speaker 2>sound like a consolation prize, Well you get a bronze medal,

0:41:30.080 --> 0:41:31.759
<v Speaker 2>JJ Watbill join is coming up
