1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: I saw j R. Smith was out there a dressed

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: like he wasn't going to the masters, uh both days.

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Then he announced the game too, did a great convert.

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: Hey we've been Hey, we've been waiting on you, bro.

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: We tried to give me the platform since we wified.

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I'm gonna jump in Jack.

00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: I got over to the x wifil welcome back to

Speaker 1: What's Burning? Jack? What's good? Bro? How was Memphis breakdown?

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: The iverson classes? For me? Real quick? To sum it up,

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: and so because I know we're gonna talk about it later,

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: but to sum it up, it was a movie. The support,

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: the support, the game, having Showtime, CBS Sports involved, everything

13
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: was more than we expected we had. We got so

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: much great content. Shoutout Time team and everybody that was

15

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: but you're gonna get to see all the footage we got. Man,

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: it was amazing. I saw a lot of O G

00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: s out there. I love that because I know the

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: younger players appreciated it. So yeah, we'll definitely touch on

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: that a little bit. How was your trip You're coming back, Beige? Yeah,

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: we can tell me and he was on the same

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: color now, bro real. Yeah, we almost thought I'm about

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: another eight hours in the direct sun, about a hundred

24
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: feet from the sun from being your color. No, but

25
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: it was good, man, it was it was you know,

26
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: I got to relax. I haven't got to relax. I've

27
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: been on you know, fast forward ship. I can't tell

28
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: you how long, maybe since my birthday. Last year was

29
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: last time I went on vacations. So it's nice to

30
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: be able to go to Mexico. Got to hang out

31
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: with Espinoza and in Janina, and they showed us a

32
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: great time man at uh Rosewood, Myacoba. So definitely recommend

33
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: visiting there. Man, it was a good time. But man,

34
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: let's get to the let's get to these playoffs. Man.

35
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: Bucks went into Boston and handle their business without Middleton.

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: Janice dropped his second career playoff triple double with and thirteen.

37
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: He was out here man handling people. Bucks defense was

38
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: able to hold Javan Brown only four mates and seven turnovers,

39
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: shot thirty three percent. You saw Marcus Smart got hurt

40
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: like four times. That kind of helped Tatum and check Jack.

41
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: I was very impressed with this. What are your thoughts

42
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: on game? One Boston and Milwaukee the more physical team.

43
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: There was a more physical team against Brooklyn and now

44
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: they're playing against the more physical team, animal, experienced team.

45
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: This is the championship team. I don't think they're missing

46
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: this p J. Tucker, but but the core of this

47
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: team is still the same. Uh. They've they've been in

48
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: these wars before. They know what have taken and Greek

49
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: Fig has gotten better. It's just playing it simple. He's

50
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: he's continued to get better. He's, like I said, he's

51
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: the most dominant players this shack. As long as he

52
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: out there having his will and having his way on

53
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: the court, there's nothing Boss is gonna be able to do.

54
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: M I I think I twitted yesterday. He may not

55
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: win M v P, but there's no doubt he's the

56
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: most dominant player in this game. He really does what

57
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: he wants out there, and I agree the length and

58
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: how big they are. Bobby Porters is a great fit.

59
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: I feel like he's taking that p J. Tucker role

60
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: from like the four or five position. He's not out

61
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: there on the wings, but he's out there talking ship.

62
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: He's got game. He's down there banging, uh, you know,

63
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: holding down the paint and pet at the rebounding. Yeah,

64
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: Lopez is out there doing what he does and then obviously, honest,

65
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: that's a big, gass front line for whoever sees. But

66
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,279
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what kind of you know, adjustments

67
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: Boston can make a game two, possibly get Tatum and

68
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: Brown going, hopefully Marcus Smart will be healthy. But yeah,

69
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a good series. Excited to see

70
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: the rest of it. Hey, hey, you see but what

71
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: you see? You talk about Milwaukee being a big team,

72
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: and we kept saying that Steve Nash needs to play

73
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: LaMarcus all Just and Blake. You see what I'm saying,

74
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: like the biggest team. Well I knew we would. We're

75
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: making it difficult for them because they was getting to

76
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: the bass and getting lay up and lay about to

77
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: lay up. So because said that if you're able to

78
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: get by your defender, there's nothing that there was nothing

79
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: at the rent for Brooklyn, So no, I agree. Although

80
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: all Dritch and Blake are a little bit older, it's

81
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: just still just that sometimes you just need some bodies

82
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: down there. He six Ters preview embed didn't travel to Miami. Also,

83
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, had the facial contusion, so he'll definitely miss

84
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: game one. In game two, I believe he's a dog.

85
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: I think you know he'll be back Game three. He'll

86
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: probably probably would have played if they would allow him,

87
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: But you know he'll be back at some point. Miami,

88
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler is questionable, Uh with information and then Kyle

89
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: Lowry is out with an hamstring, so key injuries surrounding

90
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: a lot of the team's most important players. Uh, what's

91
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: your outlook before they tip off this series? I mean,

92
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to really say, you know, I think

93
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: these are you know how they say it's the game

94
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: time decision. I can't really say what these teams are

95
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: gonna be like without their stars, you know what I mean?

96
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's a toss up now because you depended

97
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: on guys that to to carry this team and put

98
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: you through the series right now as a as a

99
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: as a game wanted too that haven't been doing it

100
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: all year. Right You're missing Jimmy, You're missing Kyle. That's

101
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 1: their two stars. And they still have out of bio.

102
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: But not having and b for put it up is

103
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: is a big minus. And I don't think James can

104
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: be that guy who was in Houston to get a

105
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: Golden Get for the points, Tim rebounds and tennis is

106
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he's that guy nomore. So it's gonna

107
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: be a of some series, especially these first two games. Obviously,

108
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: I think losing Jimmy Butler because it's particularly has been

109
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: playing so well in the playoffs, and Kyle Lowry is big,

110
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: but I would say that the loss of em Beat

111
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: is bigger because I feel like Miami is such a

112
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: great system, almost how Popovich had you know when someone

113
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: was down, next man up. Obviously, you don't want to

114
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: be missing your best players at any time, but that

115
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: system is so you know, finally, it's it's like a

116
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: well oiled machine, and Beat is everything to this team.

117
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: And I feel like obviously Maxi has been playing his

118
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: ass off, uh Tobias Harris has been playing well, but

119
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: again I think you hit it. James Harden has to

120
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: step up, and I think this is a perfect opportunity

121
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: for him to step up. It's gonna be his show.

122
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: But one thing you know bout Miami, They're gonna run

123
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: a hell of it. They're gonna they're gonna make Maxie

124
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: and and and uh Tobias Harris beat them. They're gonna

125
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: be all over James Harden because you know they always

126
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: have great defensive game plans with Spoilster over there. So

127
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: uh interesting to see how it turns out, and you know,

128
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: hopefully everyone can get healthy and come back. But again,

129
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: I think I had heat in six or seven here,

130
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: and I had the Celtics and I think seven in

131
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: the other series. So we're gonna see how both my

132
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: predictions play out. Over to Memphis. You happen to just

133
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: leave after the Classic, but right as soon as you left,

134
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: it went down grizzon Warriors. Warriors went into Memphis and

135
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: narrowly escaped with the one point victory. Draymond Green was

136
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: thrown out for one of the most bullshit ass flagrant

137
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: foul two calls I think we've ever seen. Job played

138
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: his ass off. But Stephen Clay, Jordan Pool thirty one

139
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: off the bench. Uh that that trio right there are

140
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: those shooters for Golden State ended up being too much.

141
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: Did you get a chance to check the game out? Yeah,

142
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: I've seen the whole game and it was that That

143
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: tech was definitely BS man. I'm so tired of the referees.

144
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: Just all a review, and and and just and just

145
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: not understanding the game of basketball, Like it's certain things

146
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: that as a batchlor I played. I can see from

147
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: the TV Matt that we wouldn't have to discuss we

148
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: automatically no, right, because just just just how the game

149
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: flow is. But man, they just they just so removed

150
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: from the actual things that go on in the game.

151
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: He don't wanted to draw up a real quick, real quick.

152
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: The thing that even tripped me out more is, you

153
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: know how they have the you know, the in the

154
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: end game officials. So they went to Steve Javy and

155
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: he clearly said the first time, this is a flagrant one,

156
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: you know, minor contact, and then he grabbed the jersey,

157
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: this this will be a flaggor one. So then they

158
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: after they called the flagrant two and kicked him out,

159
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: that he had to come back and almost lie to us,

160
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: you know about why they called the motherfucking flagrant too.

161
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: So the ship was terrible. I tweeted, you know, we

162
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: come to you know, the fans don't come to see

163
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: the refs. We don't tune in to see the refs.

164
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: You know, that's in the playoffs. That's a flagrant one,

165
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, and let the game keep moving. No one

166
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: came to see these motherfucking rest that just completely destroyed

167
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: the whole flow of the game. But back to the game,

168
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: were your thoughts, Yeah, they didn't drop blood. I think

169
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: it was a great game, man. I said before the

170
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: series started that the experience and the pos and Stephen

171
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: Curry and the Golden State Wars and Clay Thompson, that

172
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: was gonna be a big actor. And and people talk

173
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: about it was a close game. It was a close game. Yeah,

174
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: it was a close game. But if you understand it

175
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: by basketball, it don't matter how you win on the

176
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: playoffs on the road, especially game one, you just want

177
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: to get one on the road. Got okay how it happened,

178
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: and and and the Warriors are good enough to deal

179
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: with the ups and downs of losing Draymond and everything

180
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: that was going on with the referees going the whistle.

181
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: I think, you know, it was a great game. But

182
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: Golden Statement, they just they're just still that championship team.

183
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: And it was beautiful to see Matt with both of

184
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: us being Warriors, it was beautiful to see all of

185
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: them back on the court, and it was beautiful to

186
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: see Clay hit that big shot at the end of

187
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: the game man. Yeah, man, I mean I think there's

188
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: so many different storylines in this. Uh. First of all,

189
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: I think I love Memphis. I think they're two years

190
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: away from having a window to really be a team

191
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: that contends for a championship year in the year out.

192
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: But I think battles like this are what's gonna prepare them.

193
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: If you think back in the day, Golden State had

194
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: to you know, had had to have to grind before

195
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: they got in their ship. Men hockey, you know, kept

196
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: hitting it closed doors until they hoped through. So I

197
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: just think that, you know, Memphis is is a young team.

198
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: You know, talking to Gilanni and you guys before the

199
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: energy and you can just tell hiss fucking electric and

200
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: then young boys is out there dancing, don't give a

201
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: funk with the other team thinks you know Clay and

202
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: then where Matt. You know, Clay don't like that kind

203
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: of ship. You know, Clay is old school. Get to

204
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: the point. So I think it's a great contrast of styles.

205
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: But you hit it perfectly, you know, poised down the stretch.

206
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: You know, winning a playoff basketball game is hard to do,

207
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: is nothing like the regular season. And to be able

208
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: to go down the stretch and never panic. You know,

209
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: John Morett gets the and one. Uh they go up

210
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: to he misses the free though, Like there's never no

211
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: panic in this team. And then right when you think

212
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: of play is gonna be ran for Steph, they hit

213
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: you with the counter and Clay hits the big three.

214
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: So again minus Draymond, Uh, this team is just too

215
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: smart and and and and have been there through experience.

216
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: But again, I still think Memphis can get a game

217
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: or two. But um, you know, I'd be very surprised

218
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: if if Golden State didn't close this out in in

219
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: five or six. But it's gonna be fun along the way. Uh.

220
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: Did you see what the young kid Brandon Clark said

221
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: I miss with Draymond. Draymond went on after the show.

222
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: I think he said. I didn't get a chance to

223
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: hear what he said, but I think he said this

224
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: was a reputation flagrant, to which I agree. But the

225
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: young kid said, yeah, I've been watching Draymond on TV

226
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: do this all the time, So I think it's gonna

227
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: be a good little back and forth this whole series.

228
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: Another thing that you know I found really cool was

229
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: after the game, Draymond decided not to do media and

230
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: took that ship right to his podcast, which is unbelievably smart.

231
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't surprise me that he would pull something like that.

232
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: But Jack, what does this kind of say about the

233
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: future um of media? You know? Can can you imagine

234
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: if you know, when you were going through your ship

235
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: with the Brawl or any of the ship we went

236
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: through during our career, if we could really right from

237
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: the rip before the media runs with it, go right

238
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: to our fans and tell the world what really happened. Man.

239
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: Being able to control your own narrative is vital. I

240
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: probably would have got my I probably wouldn't have got

241
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: to find as much. I got some of my money

242
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: back if I was to control the narrative, I was

243
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: in my workplace doing the brawl. So but yeah, I mean,

244
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: I think Jaymond is smart. That's super smart because you

245
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: don't want to go on the meeting and say certain

246
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: things and the first thing they're gonna do is twisted.

247
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: Even if they're here, come out your mouth, if it's

248
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: not something that you written, you wrote down, it came

249
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: out your mama a certain way, and they're still with twisted.

250
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: So being able to go on his platform, there's no

251
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: way it can be twisted and you can troll your

252
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: own narrative. And that's the same thing we do here

253
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: on our show. Yeah, no, shout out Draymond Man. I

254
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: think you obviously you're ahead of the curve with this.

255
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: I love it. I love what you. I think he's

256
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: over there working with Colin Cowher too, was one of

257
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: my favorite personalities in the space. But very great way

258
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: to just like Jack said, control your narrative, bro, and

259
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: really tell your side, because we all know how I

260
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: can get twisted. Next up Dallas Mavericks first, the number

261
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: one seed Phoenix suns Luca for the first time in

262
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: the second round. I saw a stat the other day,

263
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: Jack that that said Luca has the second highest scoring

264
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: average of a manimum ten games, behind Michael Jordan's in

265
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's crazy. This motherfucker's a killer. You know.

266
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: Book came out off off a bad hamstring when it

267
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: was able to help close out of a pesky Pelicans team.

268
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: Luca is getting healthier by the day. What you got

269
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: this series? What are you looking forward to seeing the

270
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: defense about this? The MAVs is gonna be totally different

271
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: this game, right, They got Dame dealing with no big,

272
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: slow big man in the offense at all. They got

273
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: young fast guards playing the four and and Aidan is

274
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: totally different than big Fellow and Gobert. It's going to

275
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: create a different a different animal. But a data is

276
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: on defense. That's what I'm worried about. I think Lucas

277
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: eighty eight five percent, you know what I mean. I

278
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: think that's good enough for him to go out there

279
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: and dude, he's supposed to do and carried his team.

280
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: But I'm just worried about worried about them defensively. I

281
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: ain't thinking about things. They do what they do regardless

282
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: who they playing. They've been the best team all year.

283
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: That is defensively, it's gonna be a big test to

284
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: see if they can stop those guys. Yeah, man, shout

285
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: out the little homie Jalen Brunson. Uh, you know, it's

286
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: had a very solid year. I questioned. I think a

287
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: lot of people questions could he carry that over in

288
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs, And he's having a great playoff run. Consistently

289
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: has been either the leading score the second leading score

290
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: once Luca came back. But he's been playing really good

291
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: basketball and it's really going to get himself paid this year. Um,

292
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: but I agree, you know this is gonna be a

293
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: tough series for Dallas. Phoenix is such a well oiled machine.

294
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: The ball moving, the ball finds energy. I think you

295
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: know book is obviously getting healthier by the day. Uh.

296
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: You know CP is doing CP thing. We didn't get

297
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: a chance to do it, but shout out CP man

298
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: for making NBA history to close out the Pelicans fourteen

299
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: for fourteen from the field. Uh, there's a reason why

300
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: they call this man to point guard. There's a reason. Um.

301
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, I see the Sun's and probably six here. Um,

302
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: but I expect fireworks, uh from Luca and from the

303
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns. So definitely looking forward to this series. Yeah, Jack,

304
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: something you touched on and something I want to touch

305
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: on before we go. Scent Kidd was asked about Phoenix

306
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: and pretty much gave uh utah backhand and slap while

307
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: trying to compliment you know, the next opponent in in

308
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: in Phoenix, but basically saying that you know, Aidan is

309
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: a different monster down there. His presence they're gonna need

310
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: to adjust to, Unlike Gobart a whiteside that that they

311
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: couldn't throw the ball in the ocean unfortunately. So what

312
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: are your thoughts about Jason Kidd's slick coming man is

313
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: exactly what I was touching on earlier. You know, they

314
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: have they always played traditional four and five men, you

315
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean. They have big men down there.

316
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: You've got eight new moves like a who moves like

317
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: a three or four guy, and then you got through

318
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: two guards and three guards playing the four spot for Phoenix.

319
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: So it's it's gonna like it's gonna it's gonna pose

320
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: a different monster to him. And that's why defensively they're

321
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: really gonna be challenged. I think they're gonna score points.

322
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: But defensively, Phoenix scores at a high rate. They have

323
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: great space and then their offense and everybody could create play. So,

324
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: like I said, it's gonna be a different animal for him, yes, sir.

325
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: Next up on the Radar, presented to you by Draft

Speaker 1: we played Tennessee Steve McNair Eddie George in in Tennessee

361
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,560

00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: was in the hospital all week long leading up to

00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,920

372
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: and and uh, I go, I fly, um we warm up.

373
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: They shoot me up with whatever they needed to. I

374
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: don't felt like adrenaline. Damn. I was firing it around.

375
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the skies start closing in and

376
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: dumping and it becomes a monsoon. I complete my first

377
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: pass and then proceed to go one for fifteen or

378
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: four yards, two interceptions, three phonebols, and like seven sacks.

379
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: The worst performance, humiliating performance of my life. And it's

380
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: not just about that. It's what I do after the game.

381
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: I can't remember back in the the day, those cameras with

382
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 1: a huge batteries on that right in the locker room,

383
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: they're spinning around sometimes while standing up, and he spun

384
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: it around. It smoked me right in the head and

385
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: like split me and I lost it on this dude,

386
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: like dressed him down. I just played the worst game

387
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: of my life. Was completely embarrassed, you know, took it

388
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: out on a guy. You know, the reporter was inside there.

389
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: He was a beat writer. Documented Monday, I'm driving into

390
00:18:53,640 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: the facility. It's all over the papers that incident. So, um,

391
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: we do the gaggle, you know, postgame stuff with the reporters.

392
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: I asked him to stand around a little bit later. Um,

393
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: and then I proceed to tell him why it is right.

394
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm the big, tough timmy football. I grab his ass,

395
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: I throw him in the chair and I start motherfucking

396
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: him up and down. And the cameraman in the corner

397
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: flips around and starts getting this. And this is the

398
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: viral video. It just didn't it was viral videos didn't

399
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: exist back then. And this is like one of the

400
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: first ones. And that's the picture you see of me

401
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: acting like a petulant child braiding the reporter. Junior say,

402
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna come in and grab me. He pulls

403
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: me into the shower, turns it on cold. He used

404
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: to call me baby boy, Uh said, baby boy. Cooled down.

405
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: We'll get some dinner after this. Just just cool down.

406
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: And uh, it became this big thing, right. Um. And

407
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: then my dad was in town some of his clients

408
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: and everything like that, and uh, inside the NFL which

409
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: is on the showtime was on HBO at the time,

410
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: and it it play uncensored. You know, we're all watching it.

411
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: My Dad's clients are there watching in the house, and

412
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm going, boy, your son looks great. He helps me

413
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: craft an apology. And if you watch me the next

414
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: day reading this apology, I don't want to be there.

415
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: I think it. I think what I'm doing is wrong.

416
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: I believe I'm the victim in all this, and you

417
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 1: can see the disdain I read it then then then

418
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: just kind of flip it into the locker and that

419
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: and then I fight the media the rest of the year,

420
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: and I play poorly. You know, you can go be

421
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: an asshole and go out and ball and it doesn't matter.

422
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: That's always been my life. Like I could have be

423
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: an asshole to everybody else, but I go get it

424
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: done on the field. I threw four picks against the Giants.

425
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: Next week, they had to make a wish commercial that

426
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: I did up on the jump us on midgame and

427
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: it got booed. It was it precipitous boom like that.

428
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: I don't remember another positive thing in my NFL career,

429
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: and I would go on and play for four years

430
00:20:54,359 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: simply because I couldn't deal with failure and a healthy positive. Alright, Jack,

431
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: we touched on it earlier. Now is our chance to

432
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: really uh, get in here. And then also I want

433
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: I mean, Jack, you can add in Jelania, even though

434
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: you're a producer, we do shoot a little different here.

435
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: I want you to add, you know, and kind of

436
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: the angles you saw from behind the scenes. But when

437
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: I was in Mexico kicking my feet up, what was that?

438
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: I was classics vibe like out in Memphis. Well, I

439
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: mean from from from the jump, Um, you can tell

440
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: that this year was bigger and better, you know, before

441
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: even we got to to the game part or even

442
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: to um the banquet part. You know, just just the

443
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: feeling of knowing that you have showtime and CBS Sports involved,

444
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,239
Speaker 1: the feeling of knowing that it's nationally televised and you

445
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: have some of the top players in the country, and

446
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: and just just the whole vibe of knowing it's the

447
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: fourth year. Uh that every year, each year it gets better. Man.

448
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: And the sponsor we had we had a body arm

449
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: as a sponsor, so um, it was dope. I think

450
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: it was dope. Man. Getting to the banquet, the banker

451
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: was huge, I think just to layout. When I walked

452
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: into it looked like a wedding reception, Matt. Everything was

453
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: laid out so nice. Um. The water seremon war ceremony

454
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: was dope. Um he got a chance to acknowledge Um

455
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: a lot of the coaches, high school coaches that was there,

456
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: d Miles, me and myself or Ai. I was able

459
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: give it to this beautiful young lady who does a

460
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: lot of work in the community and in the game

461
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: and slammed dunk contest. Man. I leg lonic kind of

462
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: touch on some of that stuff too, but man, it

463
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: was it was just a movie to just to have

464
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: the production of interviews, everything that went on. Matt, I

465
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: can see this being bigger next year because I know

466
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: a couple of things and what's gonna happen next year.

467
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: But I couldn't. I couldn't. I couldn't be more happier

468
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: than the way those kids showed up and played and

469
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: the way the the this event this year was put on.

470
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 1: You know, I think what's dope is obviously you know

471
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: the McDonald's game is is historically classic and it'll stay

472
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: that way. But I think that the energy that you

473
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: guys are bringing in to this new game and who

474
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: is you know, is Ai and you two are the

475
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: face and you guys are really in touch with the culture,

476
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you guys could really

477
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: make this the game that everyone wants to come to.

478
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: You know. I thought the one thing I loved is,

479
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, seeing through social media, like all the ogs

480
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: that showed up and showed love and just came to

481
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: kick it, just to kick it, you know what I mean.

482
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: So I think that's big that you know, obviously shows

483
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: the love y'all got, but you know, for that next generation,

484
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: for these young kids, he's the kids you know that

485
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: they they when they first looked at basketball who they

486
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: were seeing. So I just think it's dope to really

487
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: kind of come back and show that. Yeah, you know,

488
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: you know the It was so inspiring to finally meet him.

489
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: Manuel Hanson. Uh, Matt, let me just say this, bro.

490
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: He ain't just dunking. You gotta see him in practice,

491
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: blocking shots, getting still throwing it through people's legs. Take

492
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm just just doing it all. He's such an inspiration, bro,

493
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: and he's so confident. I love that kid. But it

494
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: was so many kids at that game, Matt, that I

495
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: can see playing in the next level. Man. One of

496
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: the best things about the game for me was it

497
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: was six to exes kids from Texas in the game.

498
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Texas. Yeah. It was beautiful

499
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: for me, man, because I remember coming up to the

500
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: games it was one of two Texas guys or sometimes

501
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: just me, you know, and some of these all star games.

502
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: So to see it, to see back to Texas basketball

Speaker 1: we've been Hey, we've been waiting on you. Bro. We

516
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: tried to give me the platform since we wified man.

517
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, I'm gonna jump in Jack.

518
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: I got over to the Zaxkis. I got over to

519
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: the Zaxki's boy by Folk. But what Jack said, Uh,

520
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: just amazing energy, organic energy from from from former players.

521
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm during production directing and producing, coordinated with

522
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: Stack and Jr. With the CBS, and I'm in the

523
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: front doing ten minutes a big man drills with Jackson color. Yeah,

524
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: and he used the moves and got buckets on them.

525
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: So I was proud of that. I wasn't supposed to

526
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: be sweating like that before the game. But I mean,

527
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: everywhere the every coin of those kids had there was

528
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: a former player there to turn to, to laugh with,

529
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: to ask about the basketball questions, life questions. They had

530
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: their families there. We went through the museum with them

531
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: in real time. So every year I've been there, it's

532
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: got progressively better, whether that be the production or the

533
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: former players that are involved as coaches. Andre Miller was

534
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: the star of the Star of the week, you know

535
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: what I mean, just there as a spectator, and these

536
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: dudes not only be coming to hang out with the bros,

537
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: but like they want to see the practices the drills

538
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: the games. Dre came in and got in awesome drills

539
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: and was breaking down the pick and roll. Darius was,

540
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: you know, its real life coaches, because all of us

541
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: have been in these situations and like I told Stack

542
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: and you know, it's big time coming to America. Vibes

543
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: when you're there, you're always very happy to be there

544
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: and just pouring back into the kids and no jobs,

545
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: it's too small. Shout out to the photographers, video dps,

546
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: everybody involved, because you could tell people really cared and

547
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: they really poured their heart into it. Yeah, that's dope.

548
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: That's that's to me. That's the Handles experience. It will start,

549
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, taking this game to the next level. You know,

550
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: like you said, every every turn there's someone in that

551
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: turn to to talk you and drop game on your head.

552
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: So glad it worked out. I definitely need to get

553
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: out to one though. Definitely, I'm gonna make sure I'm

554
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 1: marking on the calendar next year so I can get

555
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: out there. Man. Closing thoughts, Jack, We've been saying this

556
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: for the last three or four seasons. Uh, the Utah

557
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: Jazz great regular season team, great you know, ball movement, shooting,

558
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: but when it comes to the playoffs, they have a

559
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: problem showing up. Do you feel like the duo of

560
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: Mitchell and Gobert has hello? Are you are? Are you

561
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: awake over there? U? Huh huh so what what's up?

562
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: What's up? Who's gotta go? Gobert? Mitchell? Uh? Quint Snyder? Like,

563
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: this team has no cap space? What do they do?

564
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: I fall asleep every time we get to talk about

565
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: the Jazz that for some reason, I just gnawed off.

566
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: Bro Man. We've been saying this for years. Bro, they

567
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: ain't just got no dogs over there. I ain't know that.

568
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: Don't even look like a team that you expect to

569
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: win the championship to me, you know what I'm saying?

570
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: It just it just don't. Bro. My my favorite player

571
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: on the team right now is Bondanovitch. That's my favorite player.

572
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: That's that's my favorite player on the team. That's my

573
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: favorite player on the team because he played both ways.

574
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: He can score all over the court. But as as

575
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: a whole as a team, you know, I even love

576
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: Quint Snyder. I love a coach, But ain't the team.

577
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: That ain't the team they need to have. They're trying

578
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: to be successful in utub I'm sorry, I just ain't.

579
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: I just feel like, obviously, Donovan Mitchell is an up

580
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: and coming young star Max player, but he doesn't make

581
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: anybody better. Great score, great score can get a bucket

582
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: whenever you need it, super athletic, can jump out of

583
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: the gym, but he doesn't make anybody better. And I

584
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: feel like Gobert needs a point guard that's gonna spoon

585
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: feed him allive what cps to do to DeAndre Jordan's

586
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: and and all these other guys. A guy that could

587
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: really just utilize him roll into the basket and Duncan

588
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: putting pressure on that rim because you know you can,

589
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: you know you throw it in the post, and Dealing,

590
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: the newest member of Showtime Basketball can guard Gobert down

591
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: there on the post. So it's just like he needs

592
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: someone that's gonna spoon feed him. Uh. I agree. I

593
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: love Quinn Snyder. I think he's a great basketball mind. Um,

594
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, I see I don't see both of

595
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: these players coming back next year. Um, and maybe if

596
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: one leaves, the other one might you know, they might

597
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: trade the other one just to completely start over. So

598
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: if I was Donovan, I want to leave. If I

599
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: was Dona, but I would leave and let Rudy stay

600
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: in Utah. He he fit more on Utah than I

601
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: think Donovan do. Yeah, going from Louisville Utah, it was

602
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: could be a culture shock. I love Donovan Mitchell, but again,

603
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: he's he's a scoring PG. And I feel like if

604
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: if Gobert is going to be such a highly paid

605
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: player on your team, he's not only gonna have to

606
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: be able to hold it down on the defensive, in

607
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: which he does, but he has to be able to

608
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: give you some on the offensive. And but I think

609
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: he needs some help there. So uh to be interesting

610
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,240
