1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back to What's Burning. I got my NBA brother

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: back with me, Julani McCoy. We just got back from

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: our art battles on Miami. We'll talk about that a

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: little bit later, man, but let's get right to it. Man.

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Status check. Lakers won three in a row, including a

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: big win on Friday over the Bucks. Uh A D

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: is playing out of his mind. The Lakers are eight

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: and two over their last ten eighties numbers in the

9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: last ten or thirty and fifteen, including a forty five

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: piece and the double nickel last night. Um, what do

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: you think about this team? I mean, is it time

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: to go all in? And and the rumor right now

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: lan is Derosan and Vosovich for Westbrook and then and

14
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: twenty nine future first round picks. Um, let's break this

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: down a little bit. Talk about the team first and

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: how they're playing, and then we'll get to, you know,

17
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: to the possible trade scenario. I mean, the team is

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: playing outstanding. I think I talked about this on the

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, the first couple of USS burnings. You know,

20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: this team is just now jelling a D. You said

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: it before, it's playing out of his mind. Lebron is

22
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: finding a way to play complimentary, complementary ball next to

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: a d Russ is looking good. The benches rounding out,

24
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: getting used to figuring out how they're gonna, you know,

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: put their imprint on the game, coming off the bench,

26
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: playing you know, minutes on the road or at home.

27
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: So eight and two in their last ten, I know

28
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: the schedule is flex favorable, but you have to pay

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: the schedule. You know the schedule is coming out, you

30
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: know what I mean, before you play the game. So

31
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: I like it. I think Darvin him like I've seen

32
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: a lot of d hands identity and the coaching staff

33
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: identity is starting to materialize on the court. Like I said,

34
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: eight and two, you gotta play the schedule eight and

35
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: two out of their last ten. If they can do this,

36
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: you know every ten games, they're gonna start climbing up

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: those standings. Yeah, I agree. I mean, I think the

38
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: fact that we just have no patience for anything. I mean,

39
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: if if we remember last year, the Boston Celtics were

40
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: under five hundred, uh, come in January and turned it

41
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: around into the best team in basketball uh statistically uh

42
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: since then. So I just think this team is finally

43
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: starting to gel. Guys are healthy. And I think you

44
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: hit it on the head, Gilanni playing a complimentary excuse me,

45
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: Lebron playing a complimentary role to a D. I got

46
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to a couple of Bronze former

47
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: teammates because I didn't. You know, everyone says that they

48
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: want to play through a D. And I asked, will

49
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: Braun allow a D to really take that shine and

50
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: and both guys told me, Lebron wants a D to

51
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: take it, you know what I mean, Like take it like,

52
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: come take it like. If you don't take it, I'm

53
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: still gonna be me. But if you come and take

54
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: it like he has took it into these last ten games,

55
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to you, you know what I mean.

56
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: And and to me, playing through a D obviously shows

57
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: that he's one of the most talented players in the

58
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: n B. A uh. He's playing his way back into

59
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: the m v P conversation, which he should be in

60
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: every year. But it also saves Lebron for that stretch run.

61
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: This guy's in your twenty. He can't carry a team.

62
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: He shouldn't have to carry a team. At this point,

63
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: his numbers are still incredible. I think you made a

64
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: great point. To Russ obviously is playing well and buying

65
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: into his role along with the other bench guys. So

66
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: I guess the question is I wanted to just see

67
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: this team play together and all be healthy and figure

68
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: out how their three stars can merge. And they're starting

69
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: to do that. Right With that said, do you funk

70
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: all that up and and and and try to trade

71
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: Russ and those picks for Damar and Vosovic or do

72
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 1: you sit on what you got for right now? I'm

73
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: satting Matt, this is too much talent. This is you know,

74
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: d him, That coach and staff got him. You know

75
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: we're looking at were turning the curve. This is too

76
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: much talent just to throw away. We might be starting

77
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: all over again with Jamar and back out over again

78
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: and getting that team up to speed. And I don't know.

79
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: I love Damar, Devotion, Compton, guy, USC guy California, Gut

80
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: they were, you know, in the off season. I would

81
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: have loved to see him as a Laker. But right

82
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: now things are going good with Russ, things are going

83
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: with a D. The team Lebron. I think we I

84
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: think the Lakers whole attack right now. I don't see

85
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: them making that move. I think they can really bust

86
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: the move with this team and blowing it up right

87
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: now and adding two new pieces in the middle of

88
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: the year. I don't know if I like that. Yeah,

89
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you you made a great point.

90
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: I think people undervalue chemistry. I mean, all the one

91
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: paper tomorrow and Bussovic looked like a great situation. But

92
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: like you said, they could start all over with the

93
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: chemistry they've built, and I think that's what this team

94
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: is lacked for so long. It's consistency in chemistry, and

95
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: they're finally starting to get it. Do you want to

96
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: blow that up? Happy? We don't have to make happy.

97
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: We don't have to make those decisions, so we'll have

98
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: to sit tight. But anyway, they're playing good basketball, and

99
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: they continue on another eight and to run, they're gonna

100
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: find themselves right in the middle of the Western Conference.

101
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: Standing so happy to see the Lakers starting to turn

102
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: the corner and everybody be healthy and a d reminding

103
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: everybody how motherfucking dope is Next up. The Pelicans have

104
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: won their fourth game in a row six out of seven.

105
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: Uh Egraham has been sidelined the last four games games.

106
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: Alvarado dropped a career high on Sunday with thirty eight

107
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: Pelicans currently sitting in the second spot of the Western Conference. Uh,

108
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: Pelicans have a lot to play with. Two. They've got

109
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: a ton of first round picks from the Drew Holiday trade,

110
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: a ton of first round picks from the Anthony Davis trade. Um.

111
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: Do you feel like they're remove away from seriously being

112
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: contended with all due respect to their second place ranking

113
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference right now? Um? Or do you

114
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: already feel like they're they're a dark horse and and

115
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: and and they have what it takes to possibly make

116
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: some real noise in the West. I think the thing

117
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: that we keep coming back to is identity and culture

118
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: right now, in chemistry like these, I think this is

119
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: gonna be the NBA's issue moving forward with you know,

120
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: people with a lot of draft picks, a lot of

121
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: collateral to make these picks. How is that going to

122
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: affect your chemistry? Is it worth blowing up and using

123
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: the assets to get other players to your team? Now,

124
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: the Pelicans could be in a particular situation they can

125
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: use another hog on that team with some playoff experience.

126
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: But that team is Rosland right now without without b

127
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: I you know, so how do you like. I know,

128
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: assets and are are a great thing, but this might

129
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: be the look of the new NBA and where you know,

130
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: the old eighties and nineties NBA where chemistry was everything,

131
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: and you know, free agency just now really started in

132
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: it too. Not like that but two thousands when the

133
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: money blew up and people were switching teams, the player

134
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: player movement was out of the way. But I would

135
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: like to see the young Pelicans, you know, move alout

136
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: like Memphis the State Path. Well, I mean, I think Lina,

137
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: if you look at it, the teams that are having

138
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: success and the teams are always around at the end,

139
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: or teams that have been together, they're not adding a

140
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: bunch of pieces, you know, consistently. Um. I think with

141
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: that said, I feel like this team is still one

142
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: piece away and I'd really have to kind of look

143
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: at their roster to see what that piece maybe. But

144
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: I love C. J. McColls betan leadership and when he

145
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: brings to that team. I think b I is one

146
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: of the most talented young players in the game. And

147
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: Zion is just a monster continuing to develop his game.

148
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: His his whole thing is just staying healthy. And then

149
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: they have a lot of complimentary pieces. And I also

150
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: want to shout out Willie Green. I mean, this is

151
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: only what his second year, not even you know where.

152
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: We're a quarter of the way through his second season,

153
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: and this team has made leaps and bounds. I mean

154
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: partly because they're healthy now. But again, you talked about

155
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,119
Speaker 1: foundation and identity, you know, I think that's what Willie

156
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: Green has helped bring to that team. You know, his

157
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: all those years on the Golden State sideline, he he

158
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: he learned how to move, and he learned how to

159
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: implement what they're doing, similar to what Mike Brown is

160
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: doing in in Sacramento. You know, he's establishing a foundation

161
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: and an identity for a team. So I want to

162
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: definitely say hats off to my brother Willie Green. Um,

163
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: I love the way this team is playing. Uh looking

164
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: forward to see ing b I back out there. But

165
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: I still feel like at some point they can use

166
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: some of those picks and grab one more veteran um guy.

167
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: They could still go out there and get it for him.

168
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: So we'll have to wait to see. But I mean

169
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: sleut to Willy Green and and and these boys for

170
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: being second in the West. Right now, moving east, Trey

171
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: Young's absence from Friday night's game versus Nuggets wasn't due

172
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: to a shoulder injury. Um. Apparently Trey came in to

173
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: shoot around or came to shoot around morning, I wanted

174
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: to get treatment. Nate McMillan said that if you don't

175
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: come out to shoot around, uh, you won't start, you'll

176
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 1: come off the bench, or you don't have to play,

177
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: and Trey decided not to play. Um, neither of us

178
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: of us are fans of Nate McMillan. Let's just put

179
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: this out there. UM. I think he's done a good

180
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: job of again creating a foundation for this team. But

181
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: I doesn't seem like he has the locker room anymore.

182
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: And he's more of an old school type coach. And

183
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: that's not a bad thing, but that's not what the

184
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: NBA is anymore. I think there's maybe less than five

185
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: coaches that are like these older, old school type coaches. UM,

186
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: Nate McMillan's one of them. And with all due respect,

187
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: I just feel like this game has kind of passed

188
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: his ways. By his his his approach to the game,

189
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: all this stuff has kind of passed him up. Um, Gilanni,

190
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: what do you think obviously about the relationship, because these days,

191
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: having a rocky relationship with the star can get your

192
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: ass fired. Um, but obviously you you know, you know,

193
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: Nate not a very big fan of him either. What

194
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: do you think about this situation? Shout out to Nate McMillan.

195
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: He gave my contract to Calvin Booth in my free

196
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: agent year and gave me had one of the most

197
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: weird post postseason meetings I've ever experienced in my life. Um,

198
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: the gate was the game was past eight in two

199
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: thousand when I was there, so you know, he didn't

200
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: want you talking on your phone on the bus. He

201
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: wanted to wear a college shirt, you know what I mean,

202
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: all the bus riders for no texting. No, there was

203
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: no texting back then. But you couldn't be on your phone.

204
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: You can't be getting tickets for nobody. Uh, just that

205
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: weird pointless ship just the point where ship point the ship.

206
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: And I'm sure that were for him in the NBA

207
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: coming out of North Carolina State, that's whatever draft pick

208
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: who was where he was carving his ness but and

209
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: talking to uh the players the you know, de Jonte

210
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: Trey and John Collins were at the crossover and talking

211
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: to them and talking with I think John Collins uncle,

212
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: it just seemed like the game was passing. Nate Um.

213
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: Nate is very strong willed and strong mind. You know,

214
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, he'll burn it. He'll

215
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: burn this ship down before you know you can, before

216
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: you show him out the door, He'll burn it down.

217
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: He's petty like that. So um, I like, I like

218
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: what Trey Young is doing it to be honest, you know.

219
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: And they pulled this ship with me in the summer

220
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: league one time and at my free agent year when

221
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: I was trying to uh play just summer league, he

222
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: I drove by myself because I lived in Los Angeles.

223
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: He got pissed, told me I wasn't starting after in

224
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: the summer league. After I started in the league. So

225
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: that was why I got out of Seattle. Ultimately, at

226
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I know he's widely respected

227
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: as a guy who's contributed to excell those in the

228
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: in the in the NBA game. But his time is

229
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: over now. We've seen better coaches. You know, no offense

230
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: get pushed out early, and I think that I think

231
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: it's next time. Yeah, I think the writings on the

232
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: wall and it's not necessarily a knock on him. I mean,

233
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: it's just adapt or or get left behind. And I

234
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: think his ways, like you said, worked in the NBA

235
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: he was coming up in. And if you can't adapt

236
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: to this new, younger, uh culture, your days are numbered.

237
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: So I don't think Nick McMillian will finish this season. Um,

238
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: but we shall see next up. Money Talks presented you

239
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: by Moneyline, the only money app you'll ever need. This

240
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: is kind of a big deal right now, and it's

241
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: it's just it's just frustrating how people people are. Um.

242
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders was hollered hired by Colorado, leaving jack to

243
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: stay behind. Will bring along his son, who through for

244
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: over sixty six hundred yards and sixty six fucking touchdowns

245
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: the last two season leading Jackson State. Um see you

246
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: threw a bag at him. I mean, I don't think

247
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: people know that Dianne was making only three hundred thousand

248
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: at Jackson State. He will now be making northwards of

249
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: nearly six million dollars a year. And you hear everybody

250
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: just complaining, you know, you're a sell out, you're this,

251
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: You're that. You show me a motherfucker on this planet

252
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: that is going to stay at one job that is

253
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: paying him three hundred thousand when you can have a

254
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: same job with better amenities, more exposure, and they're gonna

255
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: pay you nearly six million dollars a year. There's no

256
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: one that is going to do that, and if you do,

257
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: you're a fucking idiot. So with all due respect to

258
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: what's going on, I mean, let's break this down. I mean,

259
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: he's taking a lot of heat right now. I think

260
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: that you know, we both agree that he did he

261
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: did his job. He lift the torch, and now it's

262
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: time for someone else to come and carry the torch. Uh.

263
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: He brought some relevancy to the HBCU. He wasn't gonna

264
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: save it by itself, you know what I mean. But

265
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: I think there's a few different ways we can look

266
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: because obviously we can look at what is going to

267
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: happen to Jackson State after he leaves, which is, you know,

268
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be obviously in a better shape than

269
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: when he was there. And then also for the younger

270
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: players that you know, believed in Dion that committed there.

271
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: But I've seen a bunch of them d commit this morning.

272
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: So um, let's just talk about this whole thing. And

273
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: take our time and break this down. Yeah, let's break

274
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: it down. Money talks like you, I mean three hundred

275
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: to three hundred thousand to to six million. Uh, come on, like,

276
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: come on, guys. He this is his profession. He does

277
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: it for a living. He's he has babies and kids,

278
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, and in a brand and looking after. I

279
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: think he left Jackson Stay better than where he found it.

280
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: Who's mad at that? At the end of the day,

281
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: he did, like the torch, somebody else gotta come in there.

282
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: A Jackson State isn't the only school in the hbc

283
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: A HBCU university. He lit the torch, blaze the trail

284
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: for somebody to go out and follower. There's Ed Reid's

285
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: tons of NFL coaches, you know, kindred spirits, the Dion

286
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: that I feel that can be added to the HBCU

287
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: situation and shout out to Colorado people sleeping Like I

288
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: think this is Colorado hired three black coaches, Tucker Correl

289
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: now Dion. So whatever is going on in Boulder that

290
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: you know what to me is galvanized to them to

291
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: hire black coaches is a good move. Um, Colorado is

292
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: a sleeping giant, you know. Aired b enemy. They put

293
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: people in pros on the defensive on the offensive side,

294
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: Durry and Hagen, So there's a sleeping giant getting to

295
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: see Dion back, you know, Nike team. The whole u

296
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: A thing was weird for me. I'm hoping we get

297
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: to see Dion back in the Nike bag, see him

298
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: some releases that you know, some of Dion's turf shoes.

299
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: They play on turf. So I think across the board

300
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: and money talks, this is a great situation for everybody.

301
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: His kid gets to come over and play against you know,

302
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: uh what do they call it? Predominantly white institution talent,

303
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: So it can you know, push his heisman numbers up.

304
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: You know, I know Steve mcnaren wanting the HBCU, but

305
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: maybe Shda wants to come up and play with the

306
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: big boys. This is an excellent opportunity all around for

307
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: the Pack twelve, for Colorado, for Dion. Money talks, and

308
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: I yelled across the board for you know, everybody on

309
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: the team. I'm interested to hear you know your take

310
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: as far as economics, you know, on the field, off

311
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: the field, and you know, and just how you know,

312
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: we need to leave Dion alone he did with his kid.

313
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: Now it's time to go get his bag, and I

314
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: don't think he stays there forever. No, First of all,

315
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: all these people complaining, I want to see what you

316
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: donated to the HBCUs. So make sure if you see

317
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: this edit in the comments, you show me your your uh,

318
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: your donation to HBCUs before you're out here disrespecting prime. Um.

319
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: You know on just on server the levels obviously HBCUs.

320
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: You know the momentum has been picking up of late,

321
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: but Gilani, at the end of the days, the facilities

322
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: are terrible. With all due respect, you know that they're

323
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: doing the best they can do. They need more money.

324
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: We all know that. Um, the level competition isn't the best,

325
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So if you're trying to

326
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: become a pro out of HBC, you have you have

327
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: a It's a tall task. So for his son in particular,

328
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's put up video game numbers in these

329
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: last two years, I think this is gonna be a

330
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: huge test and a step for him that NFL scouts

331
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: really want to see. I mean, can he do this

332
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: against the best of the best. Now he'll be playing

333
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: against the best players who are all you know, majority

334
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: of them are gonna get a real look at the league.

335
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: So can he do this on the highest level? UM?

336
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: I feel bad for obviously the school because Dion just

337
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: pumped so much life into that team and and his

338
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: energy and his charisma and and who he is really captured.

339
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: You know, the nation. You know we were all talking

340
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: about HBC is because of Dion, you know what I mean.

341
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: So I think for that standpoint is gonna be tough

342
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: to overcome at Jackson State. UM. And then again the

343
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: young guys that believed in and Deon and committed there

344
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: over you know, your normal typical d one offer. So

345
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: good thing is is the transport transfer portal is up

346
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: in Alive and these kids can hop in the transfer portal. UM.

347
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw his speech to the

348
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: current team. Louis told Yeah, he told the boys he's

349
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: bringing luggage in his Louis and feel free to hop

350
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: in that portal because it's only gonna make more space.

351
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: So Deon is not playing it. And again that's that's

352
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: why I love Dion, you know what I mean, His interviews,

353
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: his realness, Uh, I think you have to take a

354
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: chance on that. And again for anyone who's saying that,

355
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: why do it for the money? You're doing your sell

356
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: out here this year, that you're not staying somewhere where

357
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: you're paid three hundred thousand when you can nearly make

358
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: six million doing the same thing. You're just not You're

359
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: full of ship if you tell yourself you're gonna do that. So, Um,

360
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: you know, I wish Dion the best. I wish Jackson

361
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: State the best. You know again, Dion lit the torch.

362
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: And as you say, there's plenty of other former NFL

363
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: guys that can come in here, not just at Jackson State,

364
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 1: but just hit this HBC you and on if if

365
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: you get you think about you get ten guys in

366
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: the next five years to do with Dion did, even

367
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: if it's only for a year or two or three years,

368
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: just to pump some life into the system and show

369
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: people that, hey, you know, there is some talent over here.

370
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: It's not the top D one talent. But I think

371
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: if we continue to get these schools more money and opportunity,

372
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: you'll continue to see more D one athletes go this route. Um,

373
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna help the whole HBUs system. So but I

374
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: think at the end of the day. The HBCU whole system,

375
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: not just Jackson State, should all be thankful for Dion

376
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: sanders Um, even though they're probably all talking behind his

377
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: back right now, because no one was talking about HBCU football,

378
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,959
Speaker 1: nobody until Dion sanders hot back on the scene. So man,

379
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: we wish him the best of luck in Colorado. We

380
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: wish his son the best of luck. And I think

381
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: he took some other players. I wish everyone the best luck.

382
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a great change. Again. Love

383
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: to see Dion back and Nike because that under armored

384
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: thing would cutting it. You'll be interesting to see how

385
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: these boys, you know, blending the PAC twelve. The PAC

386
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: twelve had a good reason this year with you know,

387
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: Oregon sc U c l A made some noise. So

388
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: again I get a great Colorado's got everything in the bag,

389
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: and and and and Dion is is a great guy

390
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 1: to bring them back to life. Patswell needs some swag.

391
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: Let's keep it a being that could use a little swag.

392
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: Level of Dion is gonna be good for the pats Well.

393
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously Dion was able to come onto this

394
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: uh you know, this HBCU platform and elevate himself, you know,

395
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: along with the school. So who is going to be

396
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: the next former player to do the same, you know,

397
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean I know someone out there is. I mean,

398
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,479
Speaker 1: obviously Dion Is is one of a kind. But at

399
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: the same time, this is a perfect platform to come and,

400
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: you know, help build a foundation and get kickstart something

401
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: that needs help being kickstart. On the flip side, the

402
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: nl L side, imagine what Dion is going to do

403
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 1: with the exposure he's bringing to this school for these kids.

404
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: I mean the n i L deals you know with Dion,

405
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: I mean they were locking in in the n i

406
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: L deals that at Jackson State, So imagine what the

407
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do it at a real Division

408
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: one pack twelve conference school. I mean, he's gonna be

409
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: bringing these checks in for these kids, you know, I

410
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: expect that, you know, the student body to buy in

411
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: and whether it's this year and next year, he's gonna

412
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: have that whole stadium rocking the same way he had

413
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: Jackson State. And again, to me, it's a win win.

414
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: I mean, Dion came in and did his job. He

415
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: took the school to a new level. Who's gonna do

416
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: the next Who's going to take it to the next level.

417
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, money talks, bullshit

418
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: walks and money talked this time. And you know again,

419
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone who's gonna keep a three dollar

420
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: job when you have a six million dollar job waiting

421
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: for you. I don't know any player that's gonna be

422
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: pest about you know what I mean? The n I

423
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: n I LS deals jumping from Zaxby's and under Armour

424
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: into Nike, and you know, probably some other big name

425
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: papers with bigger checks across the board. Money Talks, see

426
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: you go and get you some dabs and get to

427
00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: keep that bread rocking facts Only that's Money Talks, presented

428
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: to you by Moneyline, the only money app you'll ever need.

429
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: Next up on the radar, presented to you by Draft Kings,

430
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the wind total for the Warriors,

431
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: who are obviously starting to find their stride. Over forty

432
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: eight and a half winds minus one thirty above forty

433
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: eight and a half winds plus one oh five. The

434
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: Warriors have obviously turned it around, winning for their last

435
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: five uh. DraftKings has them over under forty eight and

436
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: a half whin Gelanni you're going over or under. See,

437
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: we did this, we did this before, and I take

438
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: that DA I went to save bro. I'm gonna go.

439
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go under. Oh really we'll go. We'll go under.

440
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: Just to make it interesting, you know what I mean?

441
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: You know that the West, we talked about how the

442
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: West is flip flopping. You know, there's there's been some

443
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: gen They got the Beam in Sacramento, they got the

444
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: Clippers with Kauai catches fire New Orleans. You know, yeah,

445
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna going Lakers are coming. But with that said,

446
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm going over. I think fifty win team. I think

447
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 1: this team is anywhere from forty nine to fifty three wins.

448
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: So I would definitely take the over with this team. Um,

449
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: and again I think that you know, if you get

450
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: fifty three wins, I think that probably puts you top

451
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: four uh in the West, Um, which is where they

452
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: want to be. Um. They're not tripping off a one

453
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: or two. See they know, you know, once it gets going,

454
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: their experience is going to do what it needs to

455
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: do for this team. So I'm going to take the over.

456
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: Lani is gonna take the under. What are you going

457
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: to take? What are you gonna take it's your money.

458
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: Don't worrybody, We're gonna do with our closing thoughts. This

459
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: just in. John Morant is next in line for his

460
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: own signature shoe. I think we saw yesterday that Nike

461
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: has completely cut ties with Kyrie, making him a sneaker

462
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: free agent real quick. Before we get off the Kyrie

463
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: Kyrie shoe was I don't know the numbers, but I

464
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: know for sure it was one of the top selling

465
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: signature shoe. If not number one, I'm pretty sure it

466
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,479
Speaker 1: was number one. And when I tell you, I know

467
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: it because I've seen it on the a AU level

468
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: for the last handful of years. I think his color

469
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: ways captivated this young world and parents were out there

470
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: buying Kyrie shoes left and right. So unfortunate situation Nike

471
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: decides to cut ties, um, but it's coming in on

472
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: a perfect with with with the next star in line.

473
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: I think if John Morant comes in and they do

474
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 1: his shift the right way with the crazy color ways,

475
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: he is the future face of the NBA. And I

476
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: have no doubt that one year from now or whenever

477
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: his shoe come out, one year from the time is released,

478
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: he'll be the number one or number two selling shoe

479
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: in the NBA. If Nike does this that, I have

480
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: no doubt. So congratulations to John Morant. Uh, super dope.

481
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: I love it. You are the new NBA and you

482
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: were going to be the face soon, so continue to elevate.

483
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: My brother Gilanna, we had art Basil over the weekend

484

487
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,520

Speaker 1: new level that it was definitely a new level. But

498
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,480
