1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to this League Uncut in the world of twenty

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: four hour NBA news. Just do you lose Chris Haines,

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: It's go time, Mark Stein, It's show time shuklaka Chris

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: Haynes and Mark Stein. This lig uncut is underway, and

5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: then fire. This should be a good one. Let's do it.

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: Let's make sure we have another good one, Chris Haynes,

7
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: Mark Stein here with you or another edition of this

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: League Uncut. But I gotta be honest right off the bat,

9
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: mister Haynes, I'm not in the best of moods. I'm annoyed.

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: I actually wanted to ask you a question. Am I

11
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: too old to use the adjective mid? Am? I? Can

12
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: I get away with that? Or am I too old?

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: Should I not use that? My kids would say I

14
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: am and they would laugh in my face. Huh. I

15
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: will say this, THI. If there's anybody that could get

16
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: away with it, I think it would be you. I

17
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: would give you the pass. The reason I'm asking is

18
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: because this is the most mid Western conference I have

19
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life. Now, as we're recording this,

20
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: the Lakers are trying to claw their way back to

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: five hundred for the first time since last season when

22
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: they were twenty four and twenty four. They're down four

23
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: to the Knicks with eight minutes and change to go.

24
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: But I just keep looking at these standings. The one

25
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: thing we used to be able to count on was

26
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets. Now they've lost three in a row.

27
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: You look at this West, the Nuggets are the only

28
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: team we're almost seventy games into this season, the Nuggets

29
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: are the only team on pace to win fifty games

30
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: in the West. Now Sacramento and Memphis they're on pace

31
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: for forty nine point six wins, So we can we

32
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: can draft them in if we really want to. But

33
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: either team, either one of those teams loses their next game,

34
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: they're off the fifty win pain. I mean, I just

35
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: we're so used to since Michael Jordan's second retirement in Chicago,

36
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: we're so used to seeing quality in the West, and

37
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: it's just, you know, again, I'm if the Lakers get

38
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: back to five hundred, I'm sure Laker fans are excited,

39
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: and you know they've been doing with doing this lately

40
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: without Lebron, so you got to give them props for that.

41
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: But but I just this isn't a Laker thing. I

42
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: just look at these Western Conference standings and it's just

43
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: enough already, it's just so much mediocrity. It's really to me,

44
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: it is a season unlike any other. Well, look, let

45
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: me go to the other route a little bit. Let

46
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: me go to the other route. Can we look at

47
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: this and say that the Western Conference just has parody?

48
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Because I think you can make the argument that. Let

49
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: me see, I'm looking at these East teams, the top

50
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: six Milwaukee, Boston, Philly, Cleveland, Brooklyn, New York, and you

51
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: look at the top six as a right now, Denver, Sacramento, Memphis, Phoenix, Clippers,

52
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: Golden State. If I had to pick between both conferences

53
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: top six, I think I'm still going with the West. Well,

54
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: then I'm going to counter you and say I look

55
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: at the East and I've been I've been a Denver

56
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: defender all season long. And this has gotten especially heated

57
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: lately because the MVP stuff has turned into a Yoki

58
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: versus mb thing. And I want to apologize because I

59
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: thought we did a great pot on this last week

60
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: talking a lot about the Philly side of it. But

61
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: even we we we didn't say it again. Yeah yeah, yeah,

62
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: I did, see I did see a couple of people tweak,

63
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: and they're right. Janis should be right there. This should

64
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: be a three man race. But this MVP thing has

65
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: gotten so crazy that it's like it's just become yokas

66
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: versus and be. But the reason I was bringing that

67
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: up is again, I have been a Denver defender all

68
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: season long. But to me, the three title favorites right now,

69
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: this is gonna drop on March thirteenth, this pod. They're

70
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: in the East, I mean Milwaukee, Boston, or Philly. I

71
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: would pick those. I would pick whoever survives that, you know,

72
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: that three sided steel cage match, like whoever comes out

73
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: of the East. I think obviously depending on health when

74
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs come and where we are in June, but

75
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: you know you're probably gonna see one of those. The

76
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: East champion is probably going to be the favorite, I think.

77
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: I think the only way that's not the case is

78
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: if it's Phoenix that comes out of the West and

79
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: by then they're absolutely rolling with Durant, Yeah they're rolling,

80
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: and possibly the Lakers if the Lakers get up out

81
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: the West and they're rolling, potentially rolling with Lebron James.

82
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: But no, if you if you limited to just the

83
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: top three in each conference. No, it's the Eastern Conference

84
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: head over heels above the Western Conference where you mentioned Milwaukee,

85
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: Boston and Philadelphia like there, there's no that that top

86
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: three right there that they're they're pretty much carrying the conference.

87
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: Then Cleveland Cavaliers there right there under there. But no,

88
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think with the Western conver let

89
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: me come to the defense for the Western Conference. I

90
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: think it's just a lot of parody. These are really

91
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,559
Speaker 1: good teams. They're stacked up against each other, that beating

92
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: up one another, and it's going to be you know, Denver,

93
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't I don't see Denver, you know,

94
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: losing the grip on that number one seed. But everybody

95
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: else's it's pretty much right there. And it's going to

96
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: be good basketball. And I think it's gonna be compelling

97
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: to see how the the alignment shakes shakes up. I

98
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: think we you say, you look at who's in the

99
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: play in field on the Western Conference, Minnesota to Dallas

100
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: Lakers in Utah as a right now, h and and

101
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 1: you know, really Utah at the tenth spot they're tied

102
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: with New Orleans and OKC. I mean we just don't

103
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: know where this is going to play, how this is

104
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: going to play out in Portland right there, there are

105
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: two games behind the final playoff markers. So I like it.

106
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: I like it. I think it's periody. I still think

107
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: it's good teams the West has. The West has about

108
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: three teams that you talk about Phoenix, Clippers. No, probably

109
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: four teams because they're you know, they're all these teams Memphis, Phoenix,

110
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: and Golden State and the Lakers. Those are four teams

111
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: right there, and then you can probably throw in Minnesota.

112
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: Five teams that are waiting for guys to get healthy.

113
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: They're waiting to get hold so you just really don't

114
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: know what you have right now. Those are five teams

115
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: right there that could easily be in the top four

116
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: if they're healthy, but they're waiting for guys. They're playing

117
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: that waiting game. So that I know that's a frustration,

118
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: frustrated feeling for those teams, But it's the NBA, so

119
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: always played these games, and injuries are a part of it,

120
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: for sure. I guess it's for me if if more

121
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: of these teams were trending in the right direction, I

122
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: guess I could accept the parody thing. Because that's been

123
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: the word all season long. Parody. This is incredible parody.

124
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: And it's not just you who said it. I mean

125
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: literally all season long, that has been an NBA buzzword.

126
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: But the Sacramento Kings undeniable Cinderella season. But underneath Sacramento,

127
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: Memphis is absolutely soaked in chaos right now because not

128
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: just the jaw situation, but they don't have Steven Adams.

129
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: They've already lost Clark for this season. The Suns don't

130
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: even know if they're gonna see Durant. Before the start

131
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, the Clippers were rolling before they brought

132
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook in and it is not. They have bounced

133
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: back a little bit here lately with a few wins,

134
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: but clearly the Clippers are still almost seventy games in

135
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: the season, still trying to find themselves. The Warriors, who's

136
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: calling card on all these playoff runs? Four championships in

137
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: eight years. The Warriors calling card was that they always

138
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: won at least one road game. And I think it's

139
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: twenty seven or twenty eight consecutive series. It's whatever it is,

140
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven or twenty eight, it's an NBA record. This season,

141
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: they cannot win a road game, no matter what they try,

142
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: no matter what they do, no matter who's in uniform.

143
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: The Warriors seven and twenty six on the road. Minnesota,

144
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: no Towns, a five hundred season. They were supposed to

145
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: be great in the regular season. The Dallas Mavericks, the

146
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving trade to this point has not worked out. Monday,

147
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: Luca Dontech will miss his second consecutive game due to injury.

148
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving is questionable. Wouldn't surprise me if Kyrie isn't

149
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: able to play the sense I'm getting, I don't think

150
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: the Mavericks fear that it's a long term issue that

151
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: I don't think they see it as a potential long

152
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: term issue with Kyrie. But is he gonna be able

153
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: to play Monday night? I'm not so sure about that.

154
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: The Lakers have certainly picked things up here even without Lebron.

155
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: Props to them. No Zion in New Orleans. I mean,

156
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: I could just go on and on and on, and

157
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: it's uh, yeah, I forgot about New Orleans, you know.

158
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: And look Portland. I mean, Dame is having the season

159
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: of his life and nothing, you know, it seems like

160
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: he's getting less help than he ever has and he's

161
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: he's having a turn back the clock season. It's just one,

162
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: you know one. You know, Utah and Oklahoma City have

163
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: been inspiring, nice, very nice stories. Utah season is still

164
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible that there's still a five hundred team after

165
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: all the talent that they've traded away. But man, to me,

166
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: if you're not talking about Sacramento right now, it's hard

167
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: to find an uplifting story in the West. The Keys

168
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: and I had the will urge or encouraged people, please

169
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: go check out the story I did on the Sacramento Kings.

170
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: I published it Friday morning for Bleacher Reports, so please

171
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: go check that out. But you know, I got candidate

172
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 1: quotes from Mike Brown, got Mike Brown to call and

173
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: give me a call, got Deer and Fox to give

174
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: me a call, and I got some real candidate quotes

175
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: on just what led to the Sacramental Kings all of

176
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: a sudden becoming the NBA's I'm calling it the NBA's

177
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: new Cinderella team. It used to be the Memphis Grizzlies.

178
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 1: The Sacramento Kings have taken on that mantle as it

179
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: right now. They're a fun team. The high you know,

180
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: they lead the league point score per game. They play

181
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: a great game. This is Mike Brown just reinventing himself.

182
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: He's known as a defensive coach. Now he's leading the

183
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: ball club that just has one of the most exciting

184
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: offenses in the league. And so it's pretty fun to watch.

185
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: But I take you behind the scenes on you know,

186
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: the culture Mike Brown has implemented. And he told he talked,

187
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: He told me about how he had to who had

188
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: to attack the culture. It wasn't about trading players trying

189
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: to get yeah, it was there was no culture. And

190
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, there's just there's always there's

191
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: been a bad stigma over the last sixteen years with

192
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: the Keys as far as being a team that is

193
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: UM just always a revolving door of coaches, front office,

194
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: and you know they begin, you know, conjuring a reputation

195
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: of a team that players try to avoid, agents try

196
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: to avoid sending their players there. And you know, it's

197
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: it's been bad. It's been really bad. And and Mike

198
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: Brown told me about a dinner meeting he had with

199
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: his team the night before training camp, open about how

200
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: he UM brought into play accountability contracts, basically assigning roles

201
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: to every everybody and given players their roles in front

202
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: of it everybody else. And so he said, you didn't

203
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: have to sign that contract, he said, but if you

204
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: signed it, you're making an oath to your teammates, to

205
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: the coaching staff that you will try to do play

206
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: this role to the best of your ability, and you

207
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: won't cause any problems because if you do, that's when

208
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: your teammates are going to get on you because they're

209
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: making the same vale too, that they're going to do

210
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: their role. And what happens is what has happened is

211
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: it has created accountability within the locker room now where

212
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: guys can say things. So if a player is stepping

213
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: out of bounced, you know, stepping outside of his lane,

214
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: you know, it's opened up the door where players can

215
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: go up to other players and not in a controversial

216
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: manner and be like, hey, let's remember this is what

217
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: we need to do. Let's stick with this. And for

218
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: the most part, it's worked. It's worked. And darre and

219
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: Fox talked about how he felt like he was going

220
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: to be traded a few years ago and he didn't

221
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: he didn't know if he would see a day where

222
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: he will be sitting on a roster. You know, Sacramental

223
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: Kings number two in the Western Conference standis right now, man,

224
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: And so it's some really good behind the scenes stories

225
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: and tales in that story. So I urge you guys

226
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: to please go go check it out. Look, I agree

227
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: with everything you said there because you know, as much

228
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: as I like, I have been a Denver defender and

229
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: a Nuggets believer, but I have not been a believer

230
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: in the Sacramento team. Like I've been waiting for them

231
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: to drop. I thought it would hurt them at the

232
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: deadline that they were one of the few teams that

233
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: didn't make a move, because I know, as much fun

234
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: as Mike Brown is having with this high octane offense,

235
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: the most high octane offense of his coaching career, deep down,

236
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: I don't think Mike Brown has changed that much. I

237
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: think he's still defense first in his heart, and I

238
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: think he would have loved a Matisse Tible or a

239
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: Mason Plumly for rebounding just if he could have, if

240
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: he could have addressed Obviously, Mason Plumley is not like

241
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: an interior stopper of a top level, but he does

242
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: make a difference on the boards. Tieble obviously does have

243
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: the ability to be a tremendous stopper on the perimeter.

244
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: I mean, and I think there were names that we

245
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: didn't here or didn't get out. I really think the

246
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: Kings wanted to do something to try to upgrade defensively

247
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: at the deadline, they weren't able to. And still they've

248
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: now moved up basically into this tie for second. With

249
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: Memphis entering Monday's play and with everything going on with

250
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies, you would think that Sacramento really has a

251
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: chance now at the number two seed, which I'm you know,

252
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: like I say it out loud, and still I still

253
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: don't believe it. I mean, it's it's it's impossible in

254
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: a lot of what to miss the playoffs for sixteen

255
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: years in a row in the NBA, in a league

256
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: that lets sixteen teams in the playoffs, and now one

257
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: if you count the playing round like it is just stunning.

258
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: You have to go back, where was Chris Hayes in

259
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: two thousand sixs that was the last time the games

260
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: went to play OUFFS. I was I was playing. I

261
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: was my sophomore year junior playing at Fresno Pacific University.

262
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: We get some footage of that season. I would love

263
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: to see, you know what that year? That was the

264
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: year I played the least, So there wouldn't be much

265
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: footage of that season you could find. I'm not gonna

266
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: do the stat digging, but for those who want to

267
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: find the stats, I think it's on the internet somewhere.

268
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: There were a bear about thirty two games that season.

269
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: I think I played in ten of those games that year,

270
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: and I actually hold on. I hate, I hate to

271
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: go inside note, but I'm gonna do it. So when

272
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: when you get a basketball scholarship, people think when you

273
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: get an athletic scholarship, I should say I got a

274
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: basketball scholarship. But when you get us an athletic scholarship,

275
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people think that scholarship takes

276
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: care of you for the whole four years. No, that

277
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: is a year to year contract. And so I had

278
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: a full scholarship Fresdan Pacific University, full basketball scholarship, and

279
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: my coach wasn't playing me. Clark she Hi. I don't

280
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: know where coach she High is at now. He's still

281
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: coaching somewhere. I believe he's coaching somewhere in Oklahoma, somewhere,

282
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: but he didn't to my you know, to his credit,

283
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: he did want me to work on my handles. I

284
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: was a real athletic six two shooting guard and he

285
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: wanted me to play the point guard. And he would

286
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: tell me to stay after practice every day and work

287
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: on my handles. And I would do it a little bit.

288
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: But I didn't do it as you know, as much

289
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: as I should have, because I feel like I should

290
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: have been playing anyway, like you're not You're not utilizing me, right,

291
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: and so I didn't work. So anyways, I ended up

292
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: playing in ten of our teams thirty or two games.

293
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: Then after the year, coach caused me to the office, said, hey,

294
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: we want you back. We think you're a good locker

295
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: room guy. We think you still have great potential to

296
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: help this team, but based off of the year that

297
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: you had, we only can offer you seven thousand dollars scholarship,

298
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: and Fresno Pacific's tuition at that time per year was

299
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: about thirty thousand. So I left. I don't know any

300
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: of this is good. I left. I left. I transferred

301
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: to Fresno State and just finished out my um. I

302
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: just went to school, just transfer the Frendal State, finished

303
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: out my degree did two two and a half years there,

304
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: So you played more as a freshman. Well, my freshman

305
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: sophomore year was in college. Okay, so you transferred the FRESI. Yeah,

306
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: transferred the Freendsen Pacific. Yes, basketball, and so yeah, that

307
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: wasn't happening. So I had to had to take out loans,

308
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: and I was just doing the math and the guys

309
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: he he was recruiting, like two other guys in my position.

310
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, he lowered my scholarship, so there's really

311
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: no incentive for him to even attempt to try to

312
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: play me. And he's recruiting two other players at my position.

313
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I'm off for competition, don't get me wrong,

314
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 1: but I ain't trying to put myself in debt like

315
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: that with all those loans. So I left. So can

316
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: we look back seventeen years later and say, did you

317
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: make the right decision? Yeah? Yeah, I made the right decision. Yeah.

318
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: I mean, shoot, look, I made the right decision. I went.

319
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: You know, at some point, like I wanted to, I

320
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: wanted to play professionally somewhere, and it wasn't it wasn't

321
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: lining up that wasn't going to happen. You know. I

322
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: just wanted to be around basketball as much as I could,

323
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: and uh, that was my I had to make an

324
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: adult decision right there. I had to make a real

325
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: adult decision, like do I play another year? It didn't

326
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: So clarksh, I thank you and no thank you at

327
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: the same time. I guess I don't know, like I

328
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: don't know off the praise on whatever, I don't know.

329
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: But he was a cool coach. He's Uh, I ain't

330
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: got number of love for him, but I haven't seen

331
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: him since then. Maybe he'll listen to this, maybe we'll

332
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,719
Speaker 1: hear from him. He likely will, so you so then

333
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: you He transferred to Fresno State and just as a

334
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: finished out college as a regular student finished out. And

335
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: that was so hard, Stean, that was so hard because

336
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: when you were an athlete playing in college, like you

337
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: have personal like athletic counselors that just like they'll pick

338
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: your classes for you, they set up everything for you

339
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 1: and tutor in everything you need. You got it at

340
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: your exposal, And so it was hard going to be

341
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: a regular student, especially when I know, like I probably

342
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: could have walked on that Fresilo State one thing, I

343
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: played against Fredom State. When you know Fredo Pacific. We

344
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: played Freendom State every year, So that was a cool

345
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: experience for me playing against you know, my state school.

346
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: But that was a tough transition. Man. It was tough.

347
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: It was. It was when I realized, man, I really

348
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: gotta like be a man and be a real student

349
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: and just go to class, no preferential treatment, just go.

350
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: That was so hard, but I was ready. I was

351
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: ready to transition into something else, and I wanted at

352
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: that time, I wanted to be a pe teacher slash

353
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: um basketball coach because you know, stunt. I don't know

354
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: if your pe teachers were like hours growing up, but

355
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: all our p P teachers did in high school was

356
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: they'll introduce a sport and say we're playing this sport

357
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: for four weeks, roll out a ball to you, and

358
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: y'all playing that sport for forty five minutes while he

359
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: said down doing whatever. And so I'm like, I can

360
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: do that. I could do that. I could roll a

361
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: volleyball out it, go do whatever I want to do,

362
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: roll a basketball out, you know. So that's that's what

363
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: I wanted to do. But that's a better story. Sty

364
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: then I found out coaching I coached for a year

365
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: freshman team. I don't know if you knew that I

366
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: coached for a year a freshman basketball team. I think

367
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: I didn't do that, but I did not know this.

368
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: I did not know this Fresno Pacific story. But I

369
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: will say sources have just informed me, And by sources,

370
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,840

Speaker 1: my scholarship signing it. I have it frame somewhere. That

402
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: was because I got cut my first three years in

Speaker 1: And I just kept getting better. I got taller, I

408
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: got more athletic. Then it ends up working out, and

409
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: I think I'm like one of I went to Edison

410

00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: we need to we need to meet up in Sacramento,

440
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,160

441
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: game because it's I'm sure it is going to be insane.

00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: Like you're saying, they always having. You know, the crowds

445
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, the MAVs and the Kings hooked up multiple times. Obviously,

446
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: the Lakers and the Kings playing one of the most

447
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: memorable Western Conference Finals ever. And I'm sure Sacramento fans

448
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: don't really want to go too deep down that that

449
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: that memory lane, um, but yeah, I am sure that

450
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: they are going to be the best six man in

451
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: the playoffs with the kind of noise that they're going

452
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: to generate, just the the the thirst and hunger to

453
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: have playoff basketball. I mean, it's seriously two thousand and six.

454
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: It's just it's unbelievable. And I went to so my

455

00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: their run, well and and not just their run, you know,

459
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: that's when the Sacramento Monarchs will popping. You had your

460
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: lit the Griffith to chapinna Chio. Man, they the Kings

461
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: like Sacramento had they It was some fun days back

462
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: in those days. And so to think like we haven't

463
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: had I'm saying we're talking about the city. To think

464
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: the city hasn't had, you know, great basketball days like

465
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: that since then, that is a very long time man.

466
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: And my neighbors. I talked about my neighbors all the time. Uh,

467
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, they they're really taught poker, the ones who

468
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: taught me poker for a little bit. But also we

469
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: also play every Sunday in the street out in my

470
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: neighborhood play basketball. So you know, I bust their ass,

471
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, once a week, and so you know they're

472
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: really they're really excited. A few of them are season

473
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: ticket holders. And it's going to we gotta do that, Stu,

474
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: we got you gotta come down. We gotta go to

475
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: a team I need to. We gotta meet in Sacramento

476
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: and go to a King's playoff game. And not just that,

477
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: not just that, we gotta do a live pod. We

478
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: don't want to talk to that's that's that's a secret.

479
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: Let's we don't want to reveal all that that That's okay,

480
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna be. That's gonna be a special occasion

481
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: when that. I'll shut up. I'll shut up. I mean,

482
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: I just want to keep it. I guess that's for

483
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: you guys. I just want to make it special. Um,

484
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: I'll shut up. On another note, Stun real quick you

485
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: because you asked me. He was like man Dame sitting out.

486
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: They sat dame out. He was probable to play, and

487
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: then he didn't, and then and he went from probable

488
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: to out tonight again scorting this on Sunday, and the

489
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: Blazers were in New Orleans. In the New Orleans so

490
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: I spoke with him tonight, which is tonight, Sunday night,

491
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: and um, he said it's his calf tightened up. But

492
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: he was urged to to sit tonight, which is Sunday night.

493
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: He was urged too. He would have he would have

494
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: gave it a go if it was fully up to him. Yeah,

495
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: but he expects to he expects to be in a

496
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: line up Tuesday, when day Tuesday they'll be at home

497
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: facing the Knicks. And yeah, you know, like again back

498
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: back to the King's real. Like, I guess I'm still

499
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: disrespect them because like whoever they let's say they stay

500
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: number two, don't play. You know, whoever they get seventh.

501
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: I bet whoever they play, it's going to be favored.

502
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: You know, they get Yevs or the or the Wolves,

503
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, whoever comes out of the play in I like,

504
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: I like the Kings over the Wolves. Right now, I

505
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: think that's the only team you're looking at those bottom.

506
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: You see, you got the Timberwls of seven, you got

507
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: let say eight Lakers at nine. I think the Wolves

508
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: are the only team with at those at the bottom

509
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: right there that will probably be uh the underdogs that

510
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: as the MAVs are defensively, I don't think Sacramento is

511
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: gonna be too sad to see Dallas. If Dallas is

512
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: the seventh seed in Sacramentos too, I do not think that.

513
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: I do not think even though you're dealing with Luca

514
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: and Kyrie, I don't think the Kings, the way they

515
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: score the ball, are going to be too sad about

516
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: that matchup. Dearon Fox told me that the only thing

517
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: missing is consistent defensive stops and that has been that

518
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: has been a promise, I mean, excuse me, that has

519
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: been a problem all season long. And they said, he

520
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: said that their offense is what's been winning them games.

521
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: But they know if they're going to take that next level,

522
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: they got to get better defensively. So that goes to

523
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: your point Stein, where you said at the trade deadline

524
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: you thought they should have made a move for a

525
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: more defensive oriented guy, and so you know, that might

526
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: be what prevents them. We'll see, because they're they're scoring

527
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: like crazy, But we also know a lot of times

528
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: that regular season offense sometimes doesn't translate to postseason offense,

529
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: especially when you plan a lot of guys who don't

530
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: have a lot of experience in the playoffs. Yes, I

531
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: think every West matchup is going to be pretty compelling

532
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: because it's so jam packed all the way through the standings.

533
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, Sacramento. A lot of curiosity for Sacramento what

534
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: they can actually do back on this stage because they

535
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: just had no playoff experience whatsoever. But you know, we've

536
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: said it before, got to say it again. I mean

537
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: the I was so I hated the Haliburton trade for

538
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: them at first, and it's just been it's been a

539
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: trade that worked for both teams. Haliburton is a fantastic pacer,

540
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: Sabonis is a fantastic King. Sabonus and Fox are a

541
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: wonderful duo. And props to the Kings. They've they've really

542
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: been just a much needed good story in the weirdest

543
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: West I can remember maybe ever. And give props to

544
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: the owner the Vet, even though the Vet, you know,

545
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: I was at All Star Week every All Star weekend.

546
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: Stein Thevet has a brunch during All Star weekend, and

547
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: so I go attend, go say what's up to everybody?

548
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: You know, you'll have shot come to it. You'll have

549
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley, you have Rich Paul, You'll have you know

550
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: other owners. It's it's you know, the vext thing is,

551
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: it's top notch. And so he always sends me an invite.

552
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: And so we're talking at the brunch and Vec just

553
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: looking at me as we're talking. I'm like, what's going on?

554
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: He said, I just been trying to figure out how

555
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: did you just shoot up so high? Like it's so

556
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,959
Speaker 1: little time? Like what you made that? He said, I've

557
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: just been wording how did you shoot up? Just shoot

558
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: up so high? So what is that? You know, we

559
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: always take a little shots to each other, So you know,

560
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: that's my guy. But you know it's funny, you know,

561
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: making a joke. I wish I could tell this other

562
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: joke he made to a very prominent individual that was there.

563
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: I wish I could tell that joke. But that would

564
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: be much more fun you because I actually I'm in

565
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: the same position. We're probably just pissing people off by

566
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: saying this but I feel like I can't reveal names

567
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: yet because I haven't reported this. If it had I

568
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: reported this first, I would have done I would reveal

569
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: the names. But you know you mentioned early on about

570
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: how Sacramento is one of those places that agents don't

571
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: want their guys going. I will just say that in

572
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: the last ten to twelve months, there was at least

573
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: one trade that I would say would have been quite

574
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: prominent and it was very close to happening, and the agent,

575
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: one of the agents involved, blocked the deal because he

576
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: did not want his player going to Sacramento and successfully

577
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: gotten the way of the deal. So when I can

578
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,239
Speaker 1: say names and teams, I will, But it just kind

579
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: of speaks to your point that, yeah, I mean Sacramento,

580
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: that's the kind of rough reputation they've had, and uh,

581
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: you know they're they're emphatically moving away from it. Amazing

582
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: season for sure. I want to make sure we get

583
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: the Kings. That's good because they definitely deserve it. Fun team,

584
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: no drama, fun team. Mike Brown. Mike Brown. I mean,

585
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, Tims has a case and you know, maybe

586
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: we can name I think Mike Brown should be unanimous.

587
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: He should be unanimous. I don't know if he'll be unanimous,

588
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: but he's gonna win Coach of the Year, like he

589
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: should be the player six man most improved. Those ones

590
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: are tough, but I think Coach of the Year and

591
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year we can say right now it's

592
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: going to be Mike Brown and Bank Carol. I think

593
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: those are pretty safe bets and both should be unanimous both.

594
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: I want to start, I want to end before we

595
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: take off. So the floor is yours. Man. I've been

596
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: you know you you've known this man. I've been struggling

597
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: for a few weeks with this um. This all started

598
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: Sunday night, All Star Weekend, All Star Game was, you know,

599
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: we had the All Star Game. So I'm in Salt

600
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: Lake City. I'm in the bed. Two in the morning.

601
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: I get a call from one of my good friends

602
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 1: at two in the morning that one of my best friends,

603
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: best friends to both of us, his name is Felix Hawkins,

604
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: and he was killed that night. And what makes it,

605
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, that's a tragedy in itself, and I've been

606
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: dealing with that. This is a guy who I've been

607
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: close with since high school. We met in high school.

608
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: He's been in all my major events, graduations, basketball games,

609
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: big birthday events. That's my guy. His mother. His mother

610
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: was the owner of a funeral home in Fresno called

611
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: the Sterling Funeral Home, one of the biggest funeral homes

612
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: in Fresno at the time, and that's where I got

613
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: my my first job at fourteen years old, working for

614
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 1: his mother. You know, we've that's that's my good friend.

615
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: But it's a track. It was a tragic situation and

616
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: it was made even more tragic because it was a

617
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:17,959
Speaker 1: double homicide and somebody else lost their life as well,

618
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: and so it's been tough with me trying to deal

619
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: with that. UM. I recently his funeral was yesterday Saturday

620
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: in Fresno, so I had to go back to that

621
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: and UM go to funeral. His mother asked me to

622
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: read the obituary during the funeral. Stein. That was the

623
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: toughest thing I ever had to do. Read my best

624
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: friend's obituary while he's laying on the side of me

625
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: in the casket. Man, that was tough. That you don't

626
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: you can't, you don't prepare. I'm forty one and you

627
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: just don't prepare to do anything like that at that

628
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: age and you know, there's been a lot of drama

629
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: going on in my city and my town over this case,

630
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: the situation or whatever, and you know, it was it

631
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: was a scary time. It still remains to be a

632
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: scary time. But I want to give my condolecence to

633
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: the other family as well. You know, this was an

634
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: act that was uncalled for. It shouldn't have happened, and

635
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: I just, you know, my heart goes out to them.

636
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: Man definitely goes out to them. But it's been tough STI.

637
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: It's been tough because as you know, you know, we

638
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: all go through stuffing, you know, go through things, and

639
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: life just always goes on, doesn't stop for anybody. This

640
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: league doesn't stop for anybody. And so that's something I've

641
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: been holding in for a couple of weeks. And I

642
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: could really address it because it's it's so complicated, it's

643
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: so many layers to it, and it's so dangerous, and

644
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: you know, I just want closure. I had to I

645
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: had to funeral yesterday. I was able to say a

646
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: few words to him and his mom, and you know,

647
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 1: now this is the first time I'm speaking about it publicly,

648
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: and you know, so for me, this is therapeutic and

649
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to say something now and and try to

650
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 1: get some closure to it. Man, Felix, I love you brother.

651
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss you, and you know you wouldn't You

652
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: were not perfect at all. But I loved you, man,

653
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: loved you your family and you know I'm a miss you. Man.

655
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,239

656
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: condolences all around. And I feel for you, man, I

657
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: know how much you loved him. It's it's it's awful,

658
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: and I mean, I guess it is. I think I'm

659
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I am at least that you feel comfortable

660
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: to discuss this here. You know, we're honored for that. Man.

661
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: Manh Yeah, it's time. Like I said, it's therapeutic. But

00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: once again, man, give my conduces to A Kiley. That's

663

665
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: of ended on that note, but I wanted to get

666
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: that out. Yeah, we've had we've had a lot of

667
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: sadness here on the show and lately, but I do

668
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: think it's better that we do talk about it rather

669
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: than not talk about it. So you know I feel

670
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: the same, but you always should be You should always

671
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,200
