1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: What's some piece of advice you would give your younger

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: self as you turn a new leaf today? Backward leaf

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: or just you ain't gonna turn no backward leaf over

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: must be a leaf in your life then, So what

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: you said? Anybody to give your younger self? It's not

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: my birthday? Oh well, any advice I would give my

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: younger self. Yeah, we're more rubbers. Welcome back to what's

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: burning And here's the look ahead. Jack Tuesday, Big matchup

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: Blazers verse the Clippers. Uh, the Blazers the second best

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: team in clutch moments, Clippers are third worst. If the

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: playoffs were to start today, this would be around one matchup.

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: Who would you go with? I go to the Clippers.

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: I think just adding Rondo and the direction they're going,

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: I see them winning a series against against Portland. Portland

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: has some great players. Uh, Dame is having a great year,

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: MVP season, big shot makup. But I just think in

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: the series, I think the Clippers figured out. I think

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: poor Than is a scary team um come playoff time

19
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: because they're starting to get everyone back. In help of

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: Norman Palell, I think it was a huge pickup that's

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: gonna help him on both sides of the ball um,

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be scary. And Paul doesn't have a

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: good history against Dane when it comes playoff time, so

24
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a If that happens, that'd be a

25
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: dolt matchup. But for for the week ahead, I'm definitely

26
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: thinking that, you know, the Clippers are starting to turn

27
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: the corner and um, if they can start getting more consistent,

28
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: which is obviously Kauai and that team's biggest uh issue

29
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: right now, I would take the Clippers as well. Blazers

30
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: have a big week. They start with the Clippers, but

31
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: then also play the Jazz, the number one team in

32
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: the West right now, shooting and shift out of the

33
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: ball um. It's a good matching for both teams. Uh.

34
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: You know, the the Jazz are playing well right now

35
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: and they're trying to keep their good field going, you

36
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: know that winning streaking, the way they've been playing, keeping

37
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: that number one seed. But Portland is still it's still

38
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: trying to climb that ladder. But I think these type

39
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: of games, you know, you never know how I was

40
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: gonna end up who you're gonna be playing in the

41
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: first and second round of playoffs. So these type of

42
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: games where you can make a statement. I think it's

43
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: good to go and win these games now, coming towards

44
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: the end of the season. Yeah, I mean, this is

45
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: an abnormal time for the Western ofference. Um, you know

46
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: with their top two teams are kind of new teams

47
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: when it comes to be in top teams in the West,

48
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: they haven't been I mean obviously in the past they've

49
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: been there, but they haven't been there of late. So

50
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, any of these lower seed teams to me

51
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: are going to be a battle in the first two

52
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: rounds for whether it be Utah or Phoenix. So, um,

53
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: this is definitely could be a statement game, you know,

54
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: a battle of the backcourt c J and Dames first,

55
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: Conley and Mitchell. Um, So definitely exciting game. Uh should

56
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Portland on this one. Name's gotta

57
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: get one of those two, So I think you'll get Utah. Thursday,

58
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: we got the Clippers versus the Suns. The first matchup.

59
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: Paul George drop thirty nine, but of late been battling

60
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: a toe Injury's only averaging about eighteen a half points

61
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: a game. Um, the sun's hot continuing to stay hot.

62
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on this game. I see, you know,

63
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: both teams battling, but I just I think, um, Chris

64
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: Paul is starting to really lead his team and start

65
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: to get them in playoff form. Uh. I think he

66
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: more than anybody on that team knows what's this eight

67
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: you know with him, you know, coming towards in his career,

68
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: had also been on a young team. But um, I

69
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: just see them being more focused than the Clippers right

70
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: now because they still trying to add in Rondo, They're

71
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: still trying to figure out what Paul being heard. So, UM,

72
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: I really I really see Phoenix turning the corner right now,

73
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: going to end. See I mean, one person that's not

74
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: in the m v P conversation to me that should

75
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: be a CP. I mean, obviously his numbers aren't overwhelming,

76
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: but I think he's around fifteen sixteen points, almost nine assists,

77
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: and he's got the Phoenix Suns to a team were

78
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: outside of the bubble when they got hot last year.

79
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: We're a bad team, and a lot of people thought

80
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: Devin Booker was wasting good years playing in Phoenix. But

81
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: I think CPS has completely changed that dynamic. Um I

82
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: said early on they were my surprise team in the

83
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: year because I knew playing with CP in the past,

84
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: what he's gonna be able to do the Booker and

85
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: not only Booker, but Aiden Um. You know, having CP

86
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: out there, you know, one of the best winners we've

87
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: ever seen. And he hasn't got the big win, but

88
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: he's always been a consistent winner. He's another coach on

89
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: the floor. So I definitely think when you have a

90
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: player like that, it helps these young teams out and

91
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: and you're seeing in the record, you know they're number

92
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: two and in a tough Western conference. So definitely shout

93
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: out CP and the Suns. And you said you got

94
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: Phoenix in this game? Man, who am I taking? Who

95
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: am I taking? Who am I taking? I'm gonna take

96
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: the Clippers, of course, the Clippers. Next step on the

97
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: radar presented by Draft Kings Jack, we gotta match up

98
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: between the Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. The

99
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: Jazz are a plus four hundred to win the West.

100
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: The Suns are a plus twelve hundred to win the West.

101
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: Jazz are only one game ahead of the Sun. So

102
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: who is the better value to you to win the West?

103
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: I will go with Utah. Um They've been in that

104
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: spot basically the whole season. I think now they're comfortable there,

105
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, and they and they're going to keep playing

106
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: like the number one seed and know every everybody's gonna

107
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: give them their best game. I see Utah holding that spot,

108
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: and I see Utah coming out, you know, on top

109
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: of this game as well. I would take Phoenix just

110
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: for the chances of winning some good money. You're not

111
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: gonna rent much money with if you take I went

112
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: to safe way. Yeah, so I'm gonna take a little

113
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: riskier way. I'm gonna take Phoenix UM in a seven

114
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: game series if this, if they happen to match up,

115
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: who would you take in a seven game series? I'll

116
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: take Utah UM. I just think they have more guys

117
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: with experience. They have one of the best defensive players

118
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: in the league, and the big man and and Rudy

119
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: and just planning Utah in the playoffs. That's been there.

120
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: That's a tough dynamic. We've been there. So I don't

121
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: know if if cp CP might be ready for it,

122
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: but I don't know if the whole Science team is

123
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: ready for Yeah. I mean the Sons beat them in

124
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 1: their their previous matchup but you know, seven game series,

125
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, like Jennie Buss said earlier in our interview,

126
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: normally the better team wins. So I think Utah is

127
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: the better team. But never be surprised with the son

128
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: that Devin Booker goes on one in averages forty through

129
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: a whole series. You never know what will happen. All right,

130
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: Next up our favorite segment fan questions. We're gonna get

131
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: started with Kai Underscore Shakur twenty three. What were your

132
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: favorite NBA moments you've been a part of readings from Germany.

133
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: My favorite will be it's not the championship. Most people

134
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: would think, it's Do we Believe Years? That's my favorite years.

135
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: Do we Believe Years? Our whole type because all those

136
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: guys and my brothers to this day, and uh, I'm

137
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: making a history of one of them right here, So absolutely,

138
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: you know that was that was number one for me

139
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: as well. Not the championship um in in seventeen. Uh,

140
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: that We Believe team was number one. And I probably

141
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: think obviously winning a championship it was a great honor

142
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: and being a part of that, that two thousand seven

143
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: team Warrior team. But I would say after the we

144
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: believe team would being mixed between trying to put the

145
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,000

00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: Le Brown, keep going all right? Next step I trained

157
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: underscored thirty two. If a team is stuck at five

158
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: hundred purgatory, what's the best option moving forward? Should the

159
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: team tear it down and rebuild or continue to develop

160
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: the team and give it and give it a retool. Well,

161
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: you need to understand what five hundred me. I mean

162
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: you right down, So that mean you don't need to

163
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: tear the whole team down. And he just wanted two people.

164
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: He may be the coach, maybe the ball boy, maybe

165
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: even be you. So you know what I'm saying, it's

166
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 1: one or two people. You gotta make a decision about

167
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: when you have five hundred. I can see if you

168
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: was you know, to three two hundred and three hund

169
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: you was way at the bottom, but you right down

170
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,559
Speaker 1: right down the middle of you wanted two players away.

171
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: I mean at five hundred right now, I think you're

172
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: in the playoffs in the Eastern Conference if I'm not mistaken,

173
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: so five hundred. But to say if we're any lower

174
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: than that, I mean, obviously you know there's strategy now

175
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: in and I don't want to call it tanking, but

176
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, getting high draft picks if you're not in

177
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: the mix, uh, developing young talent. But I'm always to

178
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: win no matter what. Like I wasn't taught to tank.

179
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't taught to let's get a better draft pick.

180
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: You don't know how many games you're gonna play, how

181
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: limited your days are, so you know, to me, as

182
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: a player, you go all in every day. But obviously

183
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: it's a different outlook for management. Next fan question, Mauricio

184
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: Savala underscore Maricio Savala. Does anyone in the East have

185
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: a realistic chance to beat the Nets in the seven

186
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: game series series? If so, who's going to take it?

187
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I mean, I think that the

188
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: Nets are the head of the class. I think Jack

189
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: and I both had the Nets coming out the East

190
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: before Hardened came. Harden has only made them better. I

191
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: like Philly. I mean, in b could stay healthy. That's

192
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: the one thing that the Nets don't have is anyone

193
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: to really outside the d to try to slow down

194
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: in Bead. But Walkee has been under the radar, and

195
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: I think that's they're a better team when they're under

196
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: the radar. I think them being one is too much

197
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: pressure for that team. So I'm interested to see what

198
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: Janice does in the playoffs. But I'm picking the Nets.

199
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with the Nets. But I definitely think I

200
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be as easy as everyone thinks

201
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. No, if the coach is right, everybody healthy,

202
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: and all the motherfucker's got the same goal in they

203
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: might to win the championship and don't worry about numbers

204
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: like they're doing now. No, ain't nobody beating them? You

205
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: can put it in meat and beat Simmons and the

206
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: Greek Week on the same team. It ain't happening all right,

207
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: So gone worry about the West because you need to

208
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: lead east along. Richie rich eleven. When ain't y'all gonna

Speaker 1: the former dream player who sat out last year to

246
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: fight social justice, ends up coming back to be a

247
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: part of ownership. So legend dope, sit down. I hope

248
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: you guys enjoyed this clip. We got a special guest

249
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: here man, uh, former player turn owner. Like a lot

250
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: of people talk about that, but how often did that

251
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: really happen? Queen Welcome to the show, Renee Montgomery. Well,

252
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: thank you all for having like it. Tell me what

253
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: it feels like to think owner and executive when you

254
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: literally just stepped away from the game. It's crazy because

255
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: my teammates is like, I think it's here waiting for

256
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: them because I was just playing with them. For me,

257
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: I think it was the next step. Honestly, Um, everything

258
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: I was already doing was kind of moving towards the

259
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: business side of things. I think athletes should be more

260
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: on the business. I don't know why we're not more

261
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: on the business side of things. We know the business

262
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: better than anybody else knows it. So I've been talking

263
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: about that a lot, and just having the voice of

264
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: the athlete because you're gonna have a break more on

265
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: making a dream a destination team. Yeah, we gotta do that.

266
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: Like everybody loves coming to the eight, Like that's when

267
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: you come to Atlanta. When you play Atlanta, people circle

268
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: that on their calendars. They're telling their friends everybody that

269
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: they're coming here. But nobody want to play here like

270
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: some with that, So I understand. I mean people want

271
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: to win, and just Atlanta sports have not one so entertaining.

272
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, like people love the city, but you love

273
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: the city, but you want to win too. So as athletes,

274
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: we have to make that next step the dream. We're

275
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: a little bit different in the sense that we've been

276
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: to the finals multiple times, but the program just isn't there,

277
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: the organization isn't there. So we're gonna start treating the

278
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: players like professional athletes. And I know on the men's

279
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: side that's normal for y'all, but on the women's side,

280
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: we don't necessarily get catered to like like it is

281
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: on the men's side. So that's what I want to

282
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: do with the Atlanta Dream. Just start making that that

283
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: that destination. You guys have continued to fight for equal

284
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: footing equality and then a perfect example of in the

285
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: n b n C double as Super Slimy and slick anyway,

286
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: and if if if it didn't get called out, it

287
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 1: would have gone unnoticed, it would have continued to be

288
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: the way, but someone happened to call out a reck

289
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: a weights when the men have every minute. But then

290
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: they try to come out and say instead of saying

291
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: we were wrong, they make up some bullshit excuse that

292
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: there wasn't plenty of room, and then someone shows there's

293
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: plenty of room, you know what I mean, So what

294
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: are your I guess you just add that to the

295
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: checklist of you know that the fight for you guys, know,

296
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: And that's the thing, Like if anybody's been around women's sports,

297
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: it's not new. Like in two thousand nine, we want

298
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: a championship, we want undefeated, and I'm sure that on

299
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: the men's side, whoever won that year probably had double

300
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: the swag. But like you know what I mean, I'm

301
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: not I'm not surprised. So anybody that's around women's sports

302
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: and round sports in general, we know how it goes.

303
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: You know, we still flying commercial. What I thought was

304
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: dope that you start seeing other male athletes post on it,

305
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: and I reposted it and a lot of people we

306
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: posted it, you know what I mean. And that's the

307
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: kind of attention because as male athletes, our voices travel.

308
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: You know, especially the guys still currently in the league.

309
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: So it's we're all in this fight with y'all. Man,

310
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep pushing with you guys. I appreciate that.

311
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: And speaking of no Sha, a lot of college players

312
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: spoke out ray Allen. I saw Steph Curry you like

313
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: you guys, But that matters. I think a lot of

314
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: people don't know. But it's kind of the same what

315
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: Stack was saying about going to the games. Sponsors care

316
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: about that. Like it's like sponsors they might be on

317
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: for the wrong reasons, Like you know, you saw all

318
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: these sponsors post stuff like, hey, women's in C double

319
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: a D y'all need some weights, like you know you

320
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: saw them. But I just want to know where they're

321
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: hitting up the women's side before that happen, you know,

322
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: like who's buying in when it's not popular, who's buying

323
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: in before the noise happened. So if they keep that

324
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: content noise with allies like you guys, I mean, I

325
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: think for whatever reason, the sponsors are like it, wander

326
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: down the stretch we go with quick hitters. Now, the

327
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: Pelicans are set to sign Isaiah Thomas to attend a

328
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: contract Jackie like that move. I like Isaiah just period,

329
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, the heart of a lion, a little big

330
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: man is what I call him. I'm just glad he'd

331
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: get another shot. You know, we were far for Carmelo.

332
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: We didn't wasn't wasn't as public as we are as

333
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: we should have been for him and Jamal, you know

334
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like we did Carmelo. But I'm happy

335
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: to see him back in the league. I love the opportunity. Um,

336
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: we definitely need to get him on the show because

337
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: I think all the ship he went through for Boston,

338
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: getting hurt, coming back early, messing up his hip, and

339
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: then kind of bouncing around ever since and not really

340
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: getting the money he deserved, He's had a chip on

341
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: his shoulder and then fought back hard to get this opportunity.

342
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: Played for the FIEBA team, played well, let him in

343
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: scoring at about fifteen the game. So happy to see, uh,

344
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, Isaiah get this this, this shot, you know,

345
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: at his dream again and hopefully he can do what

346
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: Carmelo didn't and being able to you know, make an

347
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: impact and finish out his career the way he wants

348
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: to a bright spot out of Washington. Ruly Hatchamara is

349
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: having a breakout stretch right here. The last leven games,

350
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: he's almost that twenty points a game, seven and a

351
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: half rebound shooting from the field. Uh, you know, someone

352
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: who had high expectations coming out of the Gonzaga Jack,

353
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: You think this is someone that can be a part

354
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: they built around. You know why I like him because

355
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: they need a third that third guy out there in

356
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: the Wizards, and he's a young kid that plays harredy

357
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: don't back down. I like I like the way you

358
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: could test all the shots. It's good to see another

359
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: guy emerged over there. I think it looks good for him.

360
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: A lot of people compare this kid to Blake Griffin

361
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: coming out a young Blake Griffin obviously. Uh, you know

362
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: it's taking him a little bit too. That's what the

363
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: world was. And I think he's in year two or

364
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: three right now, so he's definitely starting to come around

365
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: year two and you know, excited for the future. You know,

366
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, Russ has played his ass off this season.

367
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: We already know what Bill has been doing, so to

368
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, to see that third person emerged, like you said,

369
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: I think would be big for them in the future.

370
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Jack you could say what you want. Katie's

371
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: been down for a minute. I'm putting Day right at

372
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: the top with cutch clutch players in the game right now.

373
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: If he's not number one, he's definitely two or three.

374
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking more closer to one. What are your

375
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: thoughts on Dame and it's clutchedness. Well, I mean Katie

376
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: is clutch, He's way more consistent. But I think Dame

377
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: is way more clutch. You know, and and and it's

378
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: proofd behind that. UM, A lot of you can have

379
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: that argument, but you can. I would say that Katie

380
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: is the most efficient player you'll ever see. But when

381
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: it comes down to clutch, you know, I gotta go

382
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: on right. Dame name on the list. He's right at

383
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: the top. You know. Blazers, Like I said, Blazers are

384
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: getting their guys back at the right time. It's about

385
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: what five weeks left in the season develop that chemistry.

386
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be a real tough outcome playoff

387
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: time because they've got a lot of weapons. Next up,

388
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: a friend of the program, DeMarcus Cousins, is set to

389
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: sign a ten Dade contract with the Clippers. UM and

390
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: I feel bad for this dude, I mean, getting a

391
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: chance to play with them in Sacramento, being one of

392
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: the best centers, getting traded during the All Star break

393
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: to New Orleans on the brink of a two hundred

394
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: plus million dollar contract and tears of achilles, and it's

395
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: just been one injury after another for him, and he's

396
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: been bouncing around ever since and hasn't really regained his footing.

397
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: So you know, me personally happy to see it. A

398
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: little bro get another shot with the Clips. Yeah, a

399
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: good team, UM, good coach, a lot of He's gonna

400
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: be around a lot of good guys. Um. I think

401
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna work for him. I think at this point

402
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: he know his role, he knows what he can do,

403
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: but at the same time, he don't want anybody else

404
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: to tell him what he can do, you know what

405
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: I mean. I think that's the problem. You limited him

406
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: before you can see what he actually can do. I

407
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get a chance to beat him and

408
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: U with the Clippers, and I hope it works out.

409
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, it's gonna be a big pickup,

410
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: um if it does work out, because to me, you know,

411
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: with zoobots, they don't really have a consistent backup center.

412
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: No more losing Herald to the Lakers, who wasn't really

413
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: a center anyway. But I think a book he can

414
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: come in and be, you know, a fifteen and ain't guy.

415
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I definitely think that's gonna help the Clippers.

416
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: And he's back or Rondo, and I know her respects

417
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: and listens to Rondo, So that'll be a solid pick

418
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: up for the Clips. Drew Holiday signs a four year,

419
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: hundred sixty million dollar extension. Deserve every penny of that.

420
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money, bro, he deserved. The players

421
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: speak holieve them. We speak holieve them. Every team he

422
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: goes to is one of the most consistent two way

423
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: players you know, on their team in the game. So

424
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: if anybody deserves a big pay day, even when he

425
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: had his last big payday, he donated a lot of

426
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: that money out and to other people. So you deserved.

427
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: He's one of my favorite players on and off the court.

428
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: And you deserved this birthday game. Bro. We got you.

429

00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,160

432
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,880
