Very terms 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:30.080 apply all State Fire and Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:31.160 What if Chris Rock. 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:35.519 Hits him back right, then the whole thing goes left. 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:41.080 I've been in the position of where you don't want 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:46.800 to start a skirmish but feel obligated because you feel 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.919 your wife or girlfriend will lose respect for you if 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:55.680 you don't. Right, But I can't imagine it being while 0:00:55.840 --> 0:01:00.600 I'm at work all on me. I think Chris Rock 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.440 gets to do the oscars until he doesn't want to 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:06.039 do him anymore. I think the poise he showed he 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:07.360 was great about the situation. 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:09.840 He was unbelievable. 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:12.880 It was one of the reasons I think so many 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.720 people thought it was fake at first, right was because 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.520 he handled it? Okay, all right, we can start the 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:30.800 show now. I have more on this later. 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:33.120 Welcome in. 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.039 It is What's Right with Nick Wright Episode five. We 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:40.720 are recording this hours after Will Smith smacked Chris Rock 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.399 on the Oscar stage. I spent about fifteen minutes before 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.040 the show even started talking about that. Hopefully you'll see 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.080 that throughout. Also demands who all introduce him just a moment. 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:51.960 If you don't have some Chris Rock questions and Will 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.360 Smith questions in this, then you're fired. So you better 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.600 get it together when you can. Before though, we get 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.760 to what we are talking about. Let's get to what 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.000 we're not talking about. What is not on today's What's 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.000 Right with Nick Wright show is Italy missing the World 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:09.720 Cup lost to North Macedonia, Shack and steph Win oscars 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.040 and Formula one Racing. 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:13.160 That says, who cares? 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:13.760 You know what? 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.120 I'm gonna admit I've been knocking it. I might have 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:16.800 to get into it. 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.440 So many people I like and respect like it for 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.080 me to totally dismiss it, However, that is not gonna 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:23.840 be on the show today. If you're new to the show, 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.240 My son is deeply involved. You'll meet him in just 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.520 a moment. There's also a clock. It's a race of 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.679 me against the clock, me against the producers. Demanse's right there. 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.200 So Demanse I turned to you. What are we starting 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:34.720 with today? 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.680 Let's start with some Kyrie. Yeah, great news in Brooklyn. 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.480 Kyrie can play home games again. 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:40.760 Yep. 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.639 They crushed Miami and then proceeded to lose to Charlotte. 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.160 They now have the second best title odds. Yeah, which 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:48.880 team are they? 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.120 The team that beat Miami or the team that lost 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:52.800 to Charlotte. 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.280 It's a great question. It's also a trick question. 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.959 The answer is they're both, which is why picking them 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:03.680 to win the title is so ridiculously dumb. So over 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.280 the weekend, both the Lakers and the Nets have just 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.920 agregious losses. The Lakers was uglier, but the Nets was 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.720 more damaging. Here's why Lakers have been dead for a 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.200 month now. The Nets again. The Demonzi just said it. 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.560 You said the second best title of us. So, according 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.960 to Vegas, the Sons are the most likely team to 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.120 win the title, and right after them is the Brooklyn Nets, 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:31.120 who at present have are tight in the standings with Charlotte. 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:32.560 Who just beat them yesterday. 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.800 Right now, just to make the playoffs, the Nets would 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:39.360 have to beat Trey Young in Barclays and Trey Young, 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.040 by the way, what an opportunity to Graham become the 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.320 most hated man in New York City. He already killed 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.240 the Knicks last year. Now he can kill the Nets 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.320 this year in one game. If the standings were but 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.240 they'd have to beat the Hawks. Then they would have 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.200 to win the next playing game against Charlotte maybe who 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.280 they just lost to the over the weekend, and then 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.360 play the one seed, whether it be Boston or Philly 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:03.440 or Milwaukee. I the idea that Brooklyn is going to 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:08.840 be mediocre for seventy five games and then turn it 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:15.080 on for four weeks just to get to the conference finals, 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:16.440 not even the NBA Finals. 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:17.400 It's ludicrous. 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:22.839 I can't believe people are still talking themselves into the Nets. 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:23.159 Now. 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:27.120 They're upside. Their ceiling is as high as any team, 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.760 almost any team in basketball in the entire Eastern Conference. 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.160 If you tell me this team is gonna play it's 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.880 a plus game, who's the best? The only team who 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.920 I think can beat Brooklyn's a plus is Milwaukee. But 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.080 that it's not March madness. It's not one and done. 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.760 You gotta win four out of seven and then do 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.839 it again, then do it again, then do it again. 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:53.640 Why would anyone believe Brooklyn that they find out Kyrie 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.760 the vaccine mandates lifted. 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.440 Oh, that should be a huge game for them. 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:01.720 They lose to the Grizzlies without his first game back 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.440 where he's allowed to play at Barclay's all year. They 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.279 blow a fourteen point lead and lose to the Hornets 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.160 in a game that matters at some point. 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.839 They are who they said they were, and who they 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:13.480 said they. 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:17.359 Are is a team that has no consistency whatsoever. So no, 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.240 they can't win the NBA title. It's ridiculous. All right, 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:21.839 what's next? 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.240 NBA nerds were big mad this weekend. Jo Kitchen and 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.360 b were both eligible for all NBA as cinner Yeah 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:30.040 and forward. 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:31.080 Yeah, it is ridiculous. 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.600 Yeah, you're a nerd. Yeah, so I figure you're bad. 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:34.000 Yeah. 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:34.880 Why does this matter? 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:36.240 Oh? Why does it matter? 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:36.400 Oh? 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:36.839 I don't know. 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:40.000 What does history matter? Why does anything matter? So okay, 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.839 so let me explain how this works all NBA, which 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.000 if you're following our bet, well you can't even follow it. Yet, 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.640 but our best fifty players last fifty year series when 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.520 it comes out in a few weeks, what you're gonna see. 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.000 We really value certain things. 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.760 Top five MVP finishes, how you do in the playoffs, 0:05:55.880 --> 0:06:00.000 and all NBA appearances, because for all of NBA history, 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.120 this has been a snapshot of the best guys at 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.120 each position in the league. First team, second team, and 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.880 thirty years ago they added the third team, and all 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.600 of a sudden, despite the fact that Joe Lmbi and 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:16.440 Nikoli Jokic have played zero minutes at forward the NBA, 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.480 because I guess they want to make sure Jokic makes 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.320 first team. The NBA is changing the rules. They started 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.000 going down the path last year. Now it's full on 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.440 embrace where a guy who doesn't play forward can make 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:28.320 the team it forward. 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.400 So why does it matter? Here's why it matters. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.600 I'm not saying that it's perfect that you're a guy 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.640 who's gonna finish top four in MVP voting isn't going 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.880 to get a first team spot, But that's how it's 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.520 always been. We had Wilt and Russell dueling each other 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.000 for a dozen years. Do you know how many times 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.880 they both made first Team All NBA zero. We had 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:55.599 Bob McAdoo once come in second in MVP voting. He 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.840 didn't make first or second team All NBA. Munzleos Oh 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:03.480 put him on there alongside that guys, you had Robinson 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:07.159 and a Keen and Ewing. Was there any time where 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.760 you could have Shack came along where he should add 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:11.920 two centers? Yeah, could have made an argument, but you 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.960 didn't go through history. Has there been two centers on 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.480 an All NBA team? No, because it's mattered what position 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:19.320 you actually play. 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.880 So now if you change. 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.160 The rules, and you wouldn't change the rules when it 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.520 was Kareem involved and it was, or when it was 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.200 Shack involved, or when it was Wilt and Russell, to 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:35.080 change them now and change the way we are able 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:36.679 to judge different eras. 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.640 I hate it, but he's. 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:43.200 Not spicing anything up. How do I sound like an 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:43.640 old head? 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.080 It's the way it was in the best guys. 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:52.800 Guys, Moses Malone at his apex was getting All NBA 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.160 second team some years because he wasn't better than Kareem. 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.920 But we're going to change the rule for Nikola Jokic. Okay, Yeah, 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.000 makes a ton of sense. Alright, We're still talking all 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:01.440 of you. 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.559 Good okay, So since you care about the All NBA 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.440 so much despite not even having a. 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.640 Vote, that's a god dog cheap shot. What would your 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:12.400 team look like? 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:13.880 Oh my All NBA team? 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:14.560 Yes, all right? 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.840 First and second team is almost locked, with a couple 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.520 of weeks to go. Third team there's some openings, but 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:25.800 first team obvious jaw despite missing all the games Joe, 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.240 I think makes it. Could he could get dropped a 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.840 second team defending on having more games he misses. But 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.559 at the guard position, the only lock is Luca. Luca's 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.000 got to be there. Jow's gotta be I think we'll 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.600 be there. At the forward spot, Giannis is obviously going 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.400 to be unanimous. I clearly would not go Jokic and 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.880 Embiid forward center. I would only put one of them 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.320 because they're a center, so the other forward spot would 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:48.840 go to Lebron. 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.520 Hold on, hold on it, it's all making sense. Now. 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:54.280 What you mean to tell me this? 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.720 This yokicch and b things getting to you so much 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.319 because they'll take Lebron's spot. 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.320 No, how dare that's that's. 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:02.880 What it sounds. No, it is. 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.120 Because they don't place forward, So I think the all 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.679 NBA forward should be a forward. That's what I think 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:13.560 now would as it happens. Are you correct that if Yo, 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.240 Kitch and Embiid make it, and you honest we know 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.200 is gonna make it, Lebron would be out? That does 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.440 happen to be true? That is not the reasoning. 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:23.400 You don't believe me. 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:24.199 I don't. 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:32.960 I don't know how my own son is doubting my my. 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.520 My integrity Here is going to do with Lebron. 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.120 It has to do with NBA history, has to do 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.000 with the you know, paying respect to our elders like 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:40.920 Bob McAdoo. 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.800 Yeah, it does, buddy. But to answer the question, my. 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:51.160 All NBA team would be right now, Jah, Luca, Giannis, Lebron, Embiid. 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.839 That would be my first team. 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.520 And the Luca and Giannis and Embiid to me are 0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:00.280 pretty much locked in in those spots Lebron all. So 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.160 if assuming you're not doing the two centers, but I 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:08.960 wouldn't my second team Steph, Devin Booker, Jason Tatum. Your 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:14.120 guy who's been unbelievable for six weeks now, Durant. I 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:15.920 know he's missed a bunch of games. Durant's got to 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.160 be on there, and then my second team center would 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:23.480 be Jokisch. Those ten names I just mentioned there, eight 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:27.920 of them must be first or second team Tatum and Durant. 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.320 Some people will make arguments about again there's a spot 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.920 missing for one of them. If you use a center 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:35.800 spot on a forward or a forward spot on a center, 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.199 I should say, and then third team to me, there's 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:42.120 right now three lines DeRozan, Karl Anthony, Townsend, CP three 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:47.560 and for those final two spots, Donovan Mitchell, Jimmy Butler, 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:49.280 Jalen Brown. 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.600 Pascal Siakam. Do we want to get a cav on there? 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.640 Darius Garland, Trey Young as a case, should we get 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:55.320 two bulls on their? 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:56.160 Zach Lavine? 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.200 So, I don't know about third team, but I think 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.160 those I think we're pretty set on how the all 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.600 NBA teams, the general skeleton of it should be. 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.160 And you're right, I don't have a vote. 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.680 Yeah, listen, I'm sorry that didn't work once upon a 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.000 time for the New Orleans Times picking you and follow. 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:13.440 A team around. 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.720 All I do is studying NBA history and watch all 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.800 the games and talk about as much as anyone and 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:22.040 where God dogged the NBA's jumpsuits officially licensed gear no less, 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:23.200 but they can't give me a vote. 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.800 Okay, what's last? Well, hold on, you're you didn't like 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:27.240 any of that. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.280 I mean it just sounds like exactly what you do 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.320 for Labron. But okay, you know what, you know what, 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:34.920 Let's let's let's hit some NFL. 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:40.360 Yeah, green Bay lost DeVante and MVS. Yeah, they haven't 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.839 done much in free agency. I honestly just think nobody 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.160 wants to play Lenari Rogers. Okay, but do you think 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.679 green Bay made it a mistake by, you know, extending 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:51.920 extending his contract? 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:53.680 All right, here's what I think. I think a couple 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.400 of things. I'll answer that question in a moment. But 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:59.040 I also think that I lost my bet. I bet 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.480 your mom that it would take I set the over 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.240 under on eight and a half shows. Before you start 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.079 taking shots at me and inserting your own opinion, this 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.680 is show five, and when in the last four minutes 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:14.440 have gotten just unfair Lebron accusations questioning my integrity, he 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.920 and you just squeeze in a demanse Aaron Rodgers take. 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.240 Because I'm telling you right now, the are subscribers, the viewers, 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.160 the people are invested in the What's Right Show, they 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.240 woke up this morning, they're like, man, can't wait to 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:26.520 hear what Demanse thinks. 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:27.280 About Aaron Rodgers. 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.599 I'm gonna tell you that's what they're air for. 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.839 With that said, it's not a bad take exactly, even 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.360 though I weren't really licensed yet to give it. The 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.520 evidence would say people aren't rushing to go play with 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.800 Aaron at the very least, that Aaron hasn't been able 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.240 to overcome the fact that the team's in Green Bay, 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.000 the weather, all of it, and the fact that I 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.360 think people don't know how much longer he's going to play. 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.760 But to answer your question, did they make a mistake, 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.400 They didn't make a mistake because they had no choice. 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:56.959 They had. 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.840 You can't risk Aaron forcing a trade or hiring, so 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:02.880 you paid him because you had to pay him. 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.440 Do I think it's going to work out? 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.600 Do I think they're gonna get closer to the Super 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.720 Bowl in the next two years than they've been in 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:09.640 the last two years? 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.120 I do not.

Watch Unstoppable now exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.840 Welcome back in What Dry with Nick Wright podcast and 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.280 video show. I'm not supposed to say YouTube show because 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:54.960 you might be watching this in a different place, but 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.440 video show sounds stupid, so I'm never saying that again. Sorry, Gabe. 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.599 All Right, we got a new segment. The segment is 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.480 called not Quite Right. This is the idea behind this 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.079 is I kind of dry run a take that I'm 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.560 not quite ready for television on. However, if I have 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.319 a feeling what we're talking about here, I am a 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.440 little insulted they think this goes in the Not Quite 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.599 Right ben because I think this is fully ready for television. 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:17.320 I just wanted to. 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.200 Debut it on the new podcast Demons. What's the first 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.120 question or the only question? For not quite right. 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:27.359 Lebron won the Razzie for Worst accur Yeah, because you're deranged. 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:31.640 You actually think this contributes to the goat debate. Explain yourself. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:35.600 Okay again, the editorializing that's happened in the last fifteen 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.760 minutes on the show, call me deranged yet inserting your 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.200 own opinions here, I'm gonna have to check the contract 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.640 that wait, you don't have to see what your actual 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.440 responsibilities are. But I'll tell you this one right now. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:54.320 It absolutely, unequivocally does give another example as to why 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:59.240 Lebron is judged so much differently than every other great 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:04.600 athlete ever. Lebron just became the first basketball player ever 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.680 and I believe athlete ever to win this award. Now, 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.560 is he the first athlete turned actor? No see, the 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:12.480 first basketball player turned actor? 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.880 No see, the first Los Angeles Laker turned actor. 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:16.360 No. 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.920 So let's go to Shaquille O'Neal, who was in some 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.359 historically bad movies, including Shazam. 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:23.480 And the. 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.880 Idea that Shaquille O'Neal has never won a Razzie for 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.480 Best Actor, The idea that we all still to this 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:34.360 day pretend that Michael Jordan was a good actor in 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:38.440 Space Jam and Lebron. His movie grosses one hundred and 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.760 sixty million. He puts his kid in it, and everyone's like, oh, 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.880 I gotta tell you his blocking and the second act 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.400 not up to par Oh my goodness, his comedic timing 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:52.080 could use some work. Just everyone says, I'm deranged. No, no, no. 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.680 This is a microcosm for how we do Lebron James 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:56.520 on the court too. 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:58.160 It just through the. 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:02.640 Prism of Nostala and the haziness of history. Michael Jordan 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.120 never missed a big shot. Michael Jordan never missed a 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.920 big free throw. Michael Jordan never had a bad game. Meanwhile, 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:12.880 Lebron over the weekend can have thirty nine points against 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.240 the Pelicans, the Lakers losing, We're like, oh, guy scored 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.560 four in the fourth, what does it mean for him. 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:20.040 As the goat? 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:24.640 So yeah, this does contribute to the goat argument because 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.960 it's a It is a part and parcel example that 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.280 Lebron James is held to a standard the likes of 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:34.800 which no athlete ever has been held to the idea 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.040 that it's not like, oh, you're a famous guy, you're 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.200 in a movie. No, go back and watch some of 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.200 those Jim Brown performances in the movies that he left 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.320 football for. Go back and watch literally any Shack movie 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.920 other sorry Shack, other than Blue Chips or Penny Hardaway 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:54.240 in Blue Chips or the only real athlete actor performance 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:55.880 that is great was Ray Allen and he got game. 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.240 You know why because he was playing Ray Allen. He's 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.720 playing and he's just like, Hey, a great high school prospect. 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:02.640 You're gonna throw money in women at me. Oh okay, I 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:03.200 can play that. 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:04.479 So yeah. 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.720 It actually does add to the goat debate because it 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:11.479 shows how unfairly Lebron's been treated by charlottean such as 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.480 yourself in the media. I can't believe I just said, 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.879 like someone such as yourself in the media that you 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.640 have done. You've given five minutes of opinions on the show, 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:23.560 and now I'm looking at you as like a fellow 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:27.280 media member. Hey, okay, all right, let's play a game 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.600 and try to keep your takes to a minimum. 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.959 Here, this or that, I'll try. That's time for this 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:32.280 or that. 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:37.200 What's harder to explain the Grizzlies record without jaw or 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.600 everybody rooting for Duke Oh. 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.480 The Grizzlies record is way harder to explain. I get 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.320 everybody rooting for Duke because it's the last stand. 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.879 It's even if you've always hated Duke or always hated 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.679 coach k you'll kind of miss him. And so I 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.080 understand that part of it, and the way they've won 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.800 these games, I'm pretty stirring. It's a fun story to 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:01.680 watch the Grizzlies who listen, Taylor Jenkins should be coach 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:02.120 of the Year. 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:02.800 They've done a. 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.920 Great job building out that roster. But and I do listen. 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.159 I like Baine, I like Jared Jackson junior. I liked 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.439 him coming out of school's top five pick. I like 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:16.600 the guys they have, But at present they are seventeen 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:20.880 and two without Job. They have a better record, better 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.920 winning percentage without Job than with Job. That is not explainable. 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:28.720 That is, by definition inexplicable. So no, that is far 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.520 more confusing and far harder to explain. You know, I 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.760 don't think it should work against Job really, but I've 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:37.480 got to say I think it kind of, in a 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.760 tiniest bit, might push him off some fourth or fifth 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.680 place MVP ballots. I think you look at the Grizzlies, 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:45.560 You're like, oh, my god, they're the two seed jaws. 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.159 The reason right, but the fact that they win ninety 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:51.399 percent of their games without him, I don't think it's fair, 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:53.520 but probably works works against him a bit. 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.480 All Right, what's the next more believable ruvers Brady to 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:59.159 the Dolphins or Stefan Diggs to the Cowboys. 0:18:59.359 --> 0:18:59.520 Oh? 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:03.840 I think Brady to the Dolphins is the more believable rumor. 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:06.480 Listen. I don't think the Cowboys have cap space. I 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.080 don't think they got rid of a Murray Cooper because 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:08.880 they think he stinks. 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.080 I think they got rid of Amury Cooper because they've 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.359 given some bad contracts out, particularly to Zeke. They owe 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.800
