00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: They even sent out a notice.

Speaker 2: They gave you parade etiquette, what to do, what to

16
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: bring hydrate, make sure that you don't lose sight of

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: your kids, biggest, bring a snack.

18
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: They gave you etiquette.

19
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: Well, they haven't had a parade out there, at least

20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: not a professional parade, I don't think. But they gave

21
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: you some tips on how to enjoy the parade.

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 3: I think.

23
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 2: What's going to happen now there's this rush too, is okay?

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: See one of the great teams of all time, And

25
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: the answer is no, they're not. They had a great

26
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: regular season, but you were pushed to seven games by

27
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: Denver and pushed to seven games by Indiana. Great teams

28
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: don't get pushed to seven games, not twice in a

29
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: playoff series. Now, that doesn't mean that they're not in

30
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 2: the Hall of very good teams. I think what's going

31
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: to happen. This will work in reverse. It might be

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: two or three years from now when we look back

33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: at okay See and say, you know what, they were

34
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: a great team, because we're going to see what's going

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 2: to happen in the next couple of years. Now, that's

36
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: not fair to them. I know Oklahoma City thunder fans

37
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: get upset when we don't crown them and then praise them. Well,

38
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: we crown them, We have praised them, but don't look

39
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: for this. You know the fast pass to go to

40
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: great teams of old time time.

41
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: You're not.

42
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: Ok See right now is a one hit wonder and

43
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: it's a big hit. But let's see what you do.

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 2: What do you add to your catalog that will determine greatness.

45
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: You know those standalone teams, There've been standalone teams. They

46
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: won that one time, it's really hard to repeat, and

47
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: that's what we have to factor in. That's why we

48
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: can say, well it's parody, but trying to sustain greatness.

49
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: That's why dynasties are rare for a reason.

50
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: Remember the Celtics were taken over the sport and then

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: all of a sudden they're not. Jason Tatum goes down.

52
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: Who knows if he's going to play this next season.

53
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: Go back to twenty fourteen Seattle Seahawks. Oh my god,

54
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: that defense, young, intimidating, dominant, young quarterback. Pete Carroll, your

55
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: head coach. That dynasty never materialized. Okac is talented, Sga

56
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 2: is the star, Jalen Williams, Chad hul ogn kind of

57
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: in the on deck circle. Dynasties are not just about

58
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 2: being young and good. It's about evolving. It's about enduring.

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: It's about delivering again and again and again. Okay, see,

60
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: just enjoyed the parade. Enjoy the title.

61
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: You earned it.

62
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: But greatness isn't handed out at a parade. You got

63
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: to earn it every single week, every single season, every

64
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: single day you got a banner, Getting that second banner

65
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: is going to be even tougher. And this is where

66
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: we sometimes forget greatness. You know, Jordan never went to

67
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: a game seven. That's brought up all the time, but

68
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: that's important to remember. He went against good teams Utah Jazz.

69
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: They won sixty games. It felt like every year they

70
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: were a really good team. I thought that Seattle SuperSonics

71
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: team was as talented as any team I'd seen in

72
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: a long time. But they they won when they needed

73
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: to win. They didn't need to get to a seven.

74
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: You were on the ropes. You could have lost to

75
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: Denver and you could have lost to the Pacers. If

76
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: Halliburton stays healthy, we have a different outcome in my opinion.

77
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: But okay, see you want it. And Shay Gilgis was

78
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: a wonderful player. Now we want to have him. We

79
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: want to put him into the Kobe category or Jordan

80
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: as a scorer. I know we want to do it.

81
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 2: We want this immedia seed. Instead of saying aw about,

82
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: let's just let this play out a little bit. There's

83
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: nothing wrong with, you know, tapping the brakes on this.

84
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: You had a wonderful season. Let's don't make it more

85
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: than what it was. A wonderful season. Enjoy the parade.

86
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: I can't wait till opening night. You celebrate, you have

87
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: a banner, championship rings, You've earned every bit of that.

88
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: But let's be fair. Put it in context. You were

89
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 2: pushed to seven games by an Indiana team that was

90
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: the biggest underdog in the last two twenty five years.

91
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 2: In the NBA Finals, you were pushed to seven games

92
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: by a Denver team that fired its head coach.

93
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 3: Two weeks before the postseason.

94
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 2: Put it in context, and in two or three years

95
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: from now, we may look back and go, you know what,

96
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: we missed that, or Okay, they won their one title.

97
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: All right, we'll come up with the poll question here, Seaton,

98
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: you got one for hour one.

99
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I do.

100
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 4: That's a topic that we're all kicking around before the show.

101
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 4: But there's been a bunch of Achilles tears coincidence or

102
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 4: is there a reason?

103
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: All right, we reached out to a Harvard educated orthopedic

104
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: surgeon who has been on the show before, former offensive

105
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: lineman doctor Mark Addos, and he's going to join us

106
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 2: a little bit later on because you start to think

107
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: about it. Okay, Tatum Halliburton and Dame Achilles Tears. Kevin

108
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: Durant with Achilles Stare. I'm trying to remember Isaiah Thomas

109
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 2: tore his achilles late in his career.

110
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: But I'm trying to remember growing up in.

111
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: The sixties or the seventies, if anybody tore their achilles

112
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: in the NBA. Now you can say today's athlete is

113
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: so much better. Absolutely, but you would think. I mean,

114
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is not athletic anymore. He tore his achilles.

115
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: Dan Marino not athletic. He tore his achilles just going.

116
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: Back to pass.

117
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: Nobody hit him. So that's why I'm curious about this

118
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: and the surgery. By the way, Haliburton had surgery in

119
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 2: New York yesterday. It was successful. It's always successful. But

120
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: I don't know when he's coming back. That really affects

121
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: the East Tatum. I don't know when he's coming back.

122
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 2: But Haliburton said, Hey, if I had to do it

123
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: all over again, I would have done it the same way.

124
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: I don't think I would do it.

125
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: If I knew that I was going to tear my

126
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: achilles and it's going to impact next season for my team,

127
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: I probably would have said, you know, maybe maybe use

128
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: me sparingly.

129
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: Yes, Marvin, So if you knew you were going to lose.

130
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 3: Would you still do it if I knew I was

131
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 3: going to lose?

132
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: Well, okay, I I don't want to impact my team

133
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: next year if you know you're gonna blow out your achilles.

134
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: So he gets to Game seven, all of a sudden,

135
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: he's made a couple of moves and he goes, hey,

136
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: take me out now. In the moment, everybody's going to crucify.

137
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: But if if we know what the end result is

138
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: going to be, then of course I'm not gonna blow

139
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: out my achilles in a game we're going to lose

140
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: or I can't have an impact on and it's going

141
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: to impact my team next year.

142
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Paul, all right.

143
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 5: To put this in perspective, we're gonna have to go

144
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 5: back to Kurt Shilling in four We discuss this on

145
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 5: this show a zillion years ago. If Tyre's Halliburton on

146
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 5: going into Game seven can sign up for I'm gonna

147
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 5: play seven minutes, play well, tear my achilles and be

148
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 5: out for next year and we're gonna win a title.

149
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: Oh well, win a title.

150
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 5: Well, that's where it's an actual discussion. Would you sign

151
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 5: on a piece of paper to lose your entire next.

152
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: Season, it's my team going to need me. You're gonna play.

153
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: He's certainly playing seven minutes, so you're gonna this is

154
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: based off my teammates.

155
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 5: Or you roll the dice and whatever happens in game

156
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 5: seven happens if you don't sign that piece of paper.

157
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 5: We asked Chilling that on this air. He said he'd

158
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 5: be glad to with his ankle thing.

159
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't I don't know what he was

160
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: risking with that ankle, other than that ankle looked terrible,

161
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: But I don't know if he was risking his career. Right, Haliburton,

162
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: with his achilles, you're never the same. I mean, you

163
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: can pretend that you are. I'm back and better than ever.

164
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: It's like micro fracture surgery with your knee. I had that,

165
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 2: you know, Amari Stodomayer. You know a lot of NBA

166
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 2: players have had it. You don't come back from it.

167
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: There's certain injuries where okay, you're going to be. This

168
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: is as good as you're going to be. I think

169
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: we'd come pretty far with the achilles. But if you

170
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: said I'm signing up for playing seven minutes, I'm blowing

171
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: out my achilles. We're going to go win the title.

172
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 2: I'd say, why don't you guys go win the title.

173
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna sit here and watch, and then I'll be

174
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: here next year to play with you.

175
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: Yes, Todd, I'd be concerned that.

176
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 6: I think most athletes will be I may never get

177
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 6: a chance to play for a title a game seven.

178
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 6: This could be my only chance. And even if I'm

179
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 6: going to run the risk of not being able to

180
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 6: play next year, how could you not be part of it?

181
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 6: If you're not a huge.

182
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 3: Party, you're going to sign up for seven minutes. Seven

183
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 3: minutes you got.

184
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 6: On the court in some small factor whatever you but you.

185
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: Were on the court for your next year.

186
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, it may never. You may never be able to

187
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 6: play again in a championship game. Look at damn Marina there.

188
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 6: Guys would get one chance and then after that you're

189
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 6: done forever, not even snipping a chance to play for

190
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 6: a ring. I think you gotta do it.

191
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to be out there for seven minutes

192
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: knowing that I'm gonna be in surgery in a couple

193
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 2: of days and out for the next season. My teammates

194
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: are gonna win that title.

195
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: But they're probably not.

196
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 5: Actually, they're probably unlikely to because of the odds with

197
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 5: you being out. Oklahoma said he would be an overwhelming

198
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 5: favorite that game.

199
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: So that's the risk. Well, it doesn't matter. They were

200
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 3: an overwhelming favorite every single game, and they were favored

201
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 3: by nine and a half in the championship game.

202
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: It didn't matter about Halliburton. They were favored by nine

203
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: and a half, Yes, Marman, but Halliburn.

204
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 7: Would be He'd be in a Willis Reed type spot

205
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 7: if he came out there and needed the exact same thing.

206
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 7: Started out hot and the rest of his team neam hard,

207
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 7: Nate Smith, whoever took him home, he would still be

208
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 7: looked at as a as a legend.

209
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what happened to Willis Reid after that game?

210
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: What happened next next season? Does anybody remember when Willis

211
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: came out and only played a few minutes, hit a

212
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: couple of buckets, Seve was done. Does anybody remember what

213
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: his season was like the following No, they don't. Maybe

214
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 2: he wasn't even available. I mean I know that he

215
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: had knee surgery probably later in his career, probably didn't

216
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: play much longer after that. But here's Haliburton, who's young.

217
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: I would not I would not go if I knew

218
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: that I was going to be out next season, and

219
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: it's I know, it's a crazy hypothetical because if you

220
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: go into the game and you're going to say to

221
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: Rick Carlyle, hey, if I go out there, I'm going

222
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: to give you seven minutes, I'm going to hit three

223
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: threes and I'm going to blow up my achilles.

224
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: What would Rick Carlyle do if he knew that?

225
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: Halliburton says, look, it feels like I'm going to blow

226
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: up my achilles. Rick Carlile's going to say to Halliburton,

227
00:11:54,440 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: you tell me what you want to do. But if

228
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 2: I knew I was going to blow it out and

229
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 2: we were going to go on and win, But would

230
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: you win if I'm only playing seven minutes?

231
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, PAUNG Willis reed.

232
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 5: Going back to the seventy three finals, he came out

233
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 5: and became the hero. He played one more season in

234
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 5: the NBA nineteen games and then retired due to injury.

235
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 3: No, the game was nineteen seventy.

236
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm sorry, seventy oh, so nineteen seventy. He was

237
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 5: the MVP that year. He played in those playoffs. He

238
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 5: came back and was still a good player for a

239
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 5: couple more years.

240
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, he got the MVP in the finals that

241
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: it should have been Walt Frasier's, but it was in

242
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: You know, he was very inspirational. There absolutely stat of

243
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: the Day brought to you by Pennini America. The official

248
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: All right, Setan, So what was the question for the

249
00:12:59,160 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 2: first hour.

250
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 4: Is it just a coincidence or is there a reason

251
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 4: for all of these Achilles injuries? M m okay, yeah,

252
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 4: I think it was. I don't know if it must

253
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 4: have been last week. I would imagine maybe the week before,

254
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 4: we did a whole topic about should Tyrese Halliburton sit

255
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 4: to throw off Oklahoma City or they're prepared for him,

256
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 4: why don't you just sit rest it? And uh you know,

257
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 4: maybe that would actually play into the PACER's hEDS better.

258
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 2: Well, I wondered if it would it would make him

259
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: stronger if you sat him out. The second half of

260
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: that game they got blown out and then the following game.

261
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was do you sit out game six? Yes,

262
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: for game seven if.

263
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: I knew, if I knew that he would be healthier,

264
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: and you were playing at home, so you were going

265
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 2: to get everything the Pacers had. If you're confident the

266
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: Pacers can win the game at home, get to a

267
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: game seven, and then Halliburton is healthier, then yes, But

268
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: I said I would have sat him out the second

269
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: half of Game five when you're getting smoked. I would

270
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 2: have had him sit out and then you know, just

271
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: but once again, former NBA player said, if that was

272
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: the regular season, you're missing at least a week, if

273
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 2: not longer with that injury. Haliburton rolled the dice. Indiana

274
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: rolled the dice. Rick Carlisle rolled the dice. So nobody

275
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: can be upset about this. Everybody, I think knew what

276
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 2: was at stake here. And Haliburton tried and sent out

277
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: a tweet, a lengthy tweet. You know, you know he

278
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: talks about the mental aspect of this. You know, that's

279
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: that's what happens with injuries, Like you can get hurt

280
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: and then you have surgery. Then the depression sets in

281
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: when you're alone, when you're doing rehab and you're not

282
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: able to shoot that there's nothing fun going on and

283
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: it's just you. Now you'll have a physical therapist there.

284
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: But that's what he's talking about, like the mental hurdle

285
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 2: that he's going to have to overcome. That's the hard

286
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: part with injuries, in my opinion, and as many injuries

287
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: as I've had, it's when you're going to pet and

288
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: you're going god or you're breaking through scar tissue and

289
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: you're like and you know, it feels like the next

290
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: day is the same, and the next day is the same,

291
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden you get this little

292
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: glimmer of hope that hey don't need your crutches, or

293
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: hey you don't need perkoset, Hey you don't need to

294
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: ice it. Everything, like just little things like that. Tatum's

295
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: going through that right now, Dame and now Halliburton. But

296
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: the coincidental part of this, man, I don't buy that.

297
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: Just feels like there's something different. These are all marquee players. Yes, Marmon, I.

298
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 7: Feel bad from the Pacers from this standpoint. They're going

299
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 7: back into irrelevancy after such a great two months because

300
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 7: next year, where you're going into the season, no one's

301
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 7: going to be talking about the Pacers because there's no

302
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 7: Halibur and so they're just gonna go back into being

303
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 7: a middle of the pack team in the East until

304
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 7: he comes back. So that hurts them as far as notoriety.

305
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 7: They were trying to build a star and that they

306
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 7: don't have him.

307
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: We'll take a break. We'll get to your phone calls

308
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: coming up.

309
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: There was a trade yesterday last night in the NBA

310
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: Celtics and the Blazers.

311
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that.

312
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: The more I look at the Rockets Suns deal, the

313
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: stronger I feel about one team in this. We'll be

314
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,440

00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,000

Speaker 8: to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who

333
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: He's still moving.

334
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: NBA draft a two day affair, and I think, what's happening?

335
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 2: And I understand why the NBA would do two days.

336
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: Now you're probably saying, really, do you need two days? No,

337
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 2: you don't. But if I can give you kind of

338
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: an introductory offer of here's some players that are going

339
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 2: to be playing in the NBA. You know the problem

340
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 2: that baseball has. You just had LSU win the national title. Well,

341
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: those players aren't going from national title getting drafted to

342
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 2: them being in a lineup this September not going to happen.

343
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 2: They're going to disappear for two or three years. See,

344
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 2: you don't get that immediate. Oh I saw that guy,

345
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: and then I'm going to watch him play for the

346
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Reds, and you know, they send him down to

347
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 2: the miners for two, three, four years and then they

348
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 2: come back up and you go, okay, I remember him,

349
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: he played at Vanderbilt, NBA. It's different that guy just

350
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 2: played in the NCAA tournament. He's going to be on

351
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 2: a roster in the NBA next year. But also the

352
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: second day, the second day is kind of those players

353
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: that maybe you haven't heard of, maybe they're in Europe

354
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: and maybe they're seniors that you did see a lot,

355
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: and they're going to get drafted. They're going to get

356
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: an opportunity to make a roster. But also the NBA

357
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: is saying to you, hey, tune in, here's some guy

358
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: that may be playing for your team next year. Maybe

359
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 2: you don't know anything about him. A lot of these

360
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 2: players you probably don't know much about because they only

361
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 2: spent one year at Baylor or Vandy and now they're

362
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 2: going to come into the NBA. But if you're the

363
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 2: NBA and this is about social media, the NBA cares

364
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 2: about social media, probably relies on social media more than

365
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 2: any other sport, and younger, the younger fans are consuming this.

366
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: So you might say, who cares about the second.

367
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: Round of the draft? Okay, well then don't watch it.

368
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 2: But for those who do, they're they're consuming it for

369
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: a different reason. There it's almost like you're getting cliff

370
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: notes here for the upcoming season of some players to

371
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: keep an eye on. You may not know VJ. Edgecombe,

372
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 2: but you will. And I think that's the interesting part.

373
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 2: And imagine you know when Joker second round, although last

374
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: year second round was probably more interesting than the first

375
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: round with Bronnie James nemhar to the Pacers like, you're

376
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: gonna have players that you go, okay, And I think

377
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: what the NBA is doing is why not use primetime

378
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 2: and why not give this product? Put this product out

379
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 2: there because the draft people are going to tune in.

380
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 2: You might only tune in just to see Cooper flag

381
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: and what he wears and what he says, and then

382
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 2: you move on from it. But there's going to be

383
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 2: players who are drafted who are going to contribute next season.

384
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 3: In the postseason. I mean, you're just seeing guys and

385
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 3: you go and it never never ceases to amaze me.

386
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: Where you'll watch a guy in college, you go, boy,

387
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: he's going to be a good pro and then all

388
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 2: of a sudden he kind of maxed out. He maxed

389
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 2: out in college. One of those players was Purvis Ellison.

390
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 2: He played at Louisville, won a national title his freshman year.

391
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: I didn't know if he got any better, never nervous

392
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: pervis and he got to the NBA and he played

393
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: a long time, but he was a good player. But

394
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 2: I thought, wow, he's that good as a freshman. You're

395
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: seeing that when I saw Anthony Davis as a freshman

396
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: and I'm thinking, wow, he's got ball handling skills for

397
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: a big guy. And I thought that he was going

398
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: to be the big surprise. I remember coming in and

399
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 2: saying that that guy is going to be a star.

400
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: And I don't even think he scored in the National

401
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 2: title game or didn't make a field goal. But you

402
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: can see these guys. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not.

403
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 2: So I enjoy when I see somebody and you know,

404
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: Jay Biddles will tell me a little bit more about them,

405
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: or you're going to see this in the second round.

406
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: This guy's been playing in Europe. You know guys who

407
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: are professionals in Europe. Right now, there's like a fifteen

408
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 2: year old he's playing professionally in Europe, just like Luca

409
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: did yes Mark and.

410
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 7: In the past maybe five or six years. You'll see

411
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 7: guys that contribute really big to their teams. A lah

412
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 7: Dremond Green. People forget he was the second round pick

413
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 7: because he's been a star for such a long time.

414
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 7: But also Chris Middleton second round pick, you know, so

415
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 7: you don't know. So that's why a lot of people

416
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 7: watch like, oh, let me check this guy out.

417
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 2: The Celtics are trading Drew Holiday to the Blazers for

418
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 2: Anthony Simons and two second round picks. Simon's averaged a

419
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 2: eight and a half three point attempts per game last season.

420
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: That's twelfth among players who played at least at fifty games.

421
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 2: This is a salary dump with the Celtics. I don't

422
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: think Porzingis is going to be there next year, going

423
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: to be some changes. Now, how competitive can you be

424
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: without Jason Tatum in a wide open East and you

425
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 2: get a score Simon's average twenty. It feels like everybody

426
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: averages twenty now in the NBA. But Drew Holliday is

427
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: a wonderful player for a team leader, and you know,

428
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 2: people rave about him as the person he makes too

429
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 2: much money. This is a salary cap dump. It feels like,

430
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 2: you know, probably in the next to last year of

431
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 2: his contract, you know, you go back with what's going

432
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: on with san Antonio. San Antonio is the second pick

433
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 2: in the draft, probably taking Dylan Harper. Well, you already

434
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 2: got two, you know, got the Aaron Fox and you

435
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 2: got Counsel as well. Somebody is not going to be

436
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: on that team, probably dearon Fox because I think he's

437
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 2: in the last year of his contract. So that's why

438
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: when you're watching and you're going, what's this team going

439
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: to do? Who are they going to add? Who are

440
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: they going to subtract? And I think you're going to

441
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: see a few moves here coming up prior to the

442
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 2: draft or as a result of the draft. Also, Ace

443
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 2: Bailey of Rutgers played with Dylan Harper. He doesn't want

444
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: to go to certain teams, so he's trying to manipulate

445
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 2: the draft or his agent is to get him to

446
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 2: go to, of all places, the Wizards or the Nets. Now,

447
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: maybe there's a bigger picture there where a team that

448
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 2: has a couple of first round picks, like Oklahoma City

449
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 2: might go, Yeah, maybe we give a couple of first

450
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: round picks for Ace Bailey there, somebody may swoop in.

451
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: But he doesn't want to go to the team. He

452
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: doesn't want to go to Philly, didn't do interviews, and

453
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: I think he's basically saying New Orleans the Nets or

454
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: the Wizards. I can't remember when somebody said, man, I

455
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 2: can't wait to go to the Wizards, but he might

456
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: say I can go there. I'd be a star. I

457
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 2: can play right away, I can get my touches, as

458
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: they like to say, Yes, Marmon.

459
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 7: Look, he's used to it. He went to Rutgers. He

460
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 7: had the pick of the litter of any college. He

461
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 7: could have went to. You know what, I'm going to

462
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 7: pick Rutgers. Yeah, so why not pick the Wizards?

463
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 3: Okay? Or the Nets?

464
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: Even more relevant, yeah, not too far away. The other

465
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 2: part of this, you know, the Rockets with Kevin Durant.

466
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: Vincent Goodwill, our good buddy from Yahoo Sports had a

467
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 2: deep dive on Kevin Durant going to the Rockets. He'll

468
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 2: join us coming up next hour. But you start to

469
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 2: look at this with the Phoenix Suns. New ownership loves

470
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: to come in and put their stamp on a franchise.

471
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: And we were at the Super Bowl in Arizona, and

472
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 2: all of a sudden we heard the news that Kevin

473
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 2: Durant had been traded to the Phoenix Suns. All these Sons.

474
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 2: Fans were showing up, they had their jerseys on, they're excited.

475
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 2: Everything's great, which is fine. The problem is Bradley Beal.

476
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 2: Bradley Beal with a no trade contract, So you're stuck

477
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 2: with Bradley Beal. Jalen Green who you got from the Rockets?

478
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 2: Who got it? You know, they gave him a bad contract.

479
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 2: It's a good contract for him, but a bad contract

480
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 2: for the Phoenix Suns. And you got Devin Booker. Devin

481
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 2: Booker is going to get paid. They'll extend him. Now

482
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: what are you doing? You got three guys who are

483
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: playing the same position.

484
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 3: What are you doing? And that's the problem.

485
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: You go in, fire a coach, or fire a couple

486
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 2: of coaches, and then all of a sudden, Hey, I'm

487
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 2: bringing in my Michigan State guys, which matt Ishbie is

488
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 2: a former walk on at Michigan State. This is where

489
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 2: it gets dangerous when owners come in and think they

490
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: are really smart and these are some costly moves that

491
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: they've made. What they gave up to get Durant in

492
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 2: the first place. Even now, if I'm Phoenix, I've got

493
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 2: to Now it's going to sound crazy. I've got to

494
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 2: get Reed Shepard in the trade with the Rockets. I

495
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 2: have to get something out of this. Jalen Green is,

496
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: you know, a guy who's going to score, but he's

497
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 2: not a good shooter. You know, percentages aren't good. You know,

498
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 2: he wasn't a big time player in the postseason, and

499
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 2: you know they did well by getting rid of him.

500
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 3: You bring in Durant.

501
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: Okay, he's going to be thirty seven, he's going to

502
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 2: want a contract extension. Okay, what's he going to cost me?

503
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: Sixty million dollars a year? Probably, But I do like

504
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: what the Rockets are at least trying to do. They

505
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 2: might be a year ahead of schedule with those young

506
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: kids and Durant, you know, at age thirty seven, I

507
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 2: don't know if he's a top ten player. I know

508
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: his numbers kind of indicate, you know, you get twenty

509
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 2: six and seven and four or something like that. Okay,

510
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 2: and he's a fifty to forty ninety guy too still

511
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 2: for his career, or at least this past couple of years,

512
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: he's done that. So I'm looking at the Phoenix Suns

513
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 2: and that's a mess. And then you look at what

514
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 2: the Rockets got, and they didn't give up some of

515
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: the younger players.

516
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 3: That's what's amazing.

517
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 2: Like if you say, hey, we're gonna give you Jalen Jalen,

518
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: well yeah, we'll take him. I mean, well, I don't know,

519
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to think about that.

520
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 7: Yes, Mark Thompson, the Thompson twin, has to be in

521
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 7: that trade. If I'm yes, reed, Shepherd gets to stay too.

522
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 7: I know he was the third pick in the draft.

523
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 7: He's gonna be one of those guys where he's like, man,

524
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 7: where do you come from?

525
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I just boy, what a mess.

526
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: I mean, the Kevin Durant trades are gonna set Phoenix

527
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 2: back for years in a West that is so competitive.

528
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 3: And what do you have? Now do you trade Devin

529
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 3: Booker to? What do you want in return? Now?

530
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: You got to take on these bad contracts and then

531
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: hopefully you get bad you know, maybe you get some

532
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 2: younger player. I don't I don't even know how many

533
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 2: draft picks they have. They probably don't even have their

534
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 2: draft picks anymore. I gots a mess. And it was

535
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. You're playing in the NBA Finals.

536
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, Pully, It does feel though, like Houston they took

537
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 5: a few risks, and I think the risk of letting

538
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 5: Green go is gutsy. This guy, people loved him as

539
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 5: a score a slasher guard Jalen Green, and letting him

540
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 5: go is it's one of those you got to let

541
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 5: something go to get something and you hope for the

542
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 5: best that he doesn't become a five time.

543
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 3: Also, he's not going to He's not going to. Then

544
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 3: that's the right move. No, absolutely, that's it, in a nutshell,

545
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 3: absolutely the right movie. They kept the people they wanted

546
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 3: to keep. Now you can go, wow, he averaged twenty.

547
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 3: There are a lot of guys who averaged twenty.

548
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, Mark zach Levine is the first guy I thought

549
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 7: of as far as a player comparison, where it's a

550
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 7: guy that can put up numbers. Both of those guys

551
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 7: are buckets, but it's going to take them thirty five

552
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 7: shots to get those buckets.

553
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 3: I'd rather I'm zach Levine's game than I would I

554
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 3: don't want either one of them. But yes, I mean,

555
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: these guys get twenty, but how many shots does it

556
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 3: take for you to get twenty? And the offense isn't

557
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 3: going to revolve around Jalen Green, it's still Devin Booker's team,

558
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: But you got the Bradley Beal's situation. Imagine showing up

559
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 3: to work and knowing that management is like, he's got

560
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 3: a no trade classe.

561
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 2: Hey, Bradley, how are you well? I'm good, Tom, Great

562
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: to see you.

563
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 7: It's him and Lebron with no trade callses.

564
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 3: He's making fifty million dollars a year. My goodness? Who AnyWho?

565
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 8: Uh?

566
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: Andrew in Washington? Hi Andrew, what's on your mind today?

567
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 9: Good morning, Dan Dannetz. Thanks for taking my call. Kind

568
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 9: of had like some injury questions and then a random

569
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 9: trivia fact that came out of the finals that I remembered.

570
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 9: But my injury thing is you're right. I think breaking

571
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 9: up scars issue is probably the worst part of PT.

572
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 9: But also the part of PT that they miss is

573
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 9: not that you have to go in for, but you

574
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 9: have to do at home to continue the gradual healing

575
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 9: of the area in movement. So how much are you

576
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 9: willing to do when nobody else is looking is a

577
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 9: key to PT success. I guess my question with these

578
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 9: cast strains that are happening and achilles that are popping,

579
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 9: are there certain grades of strains? If we ask the

580
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 9: doctor that inevitably your achilles is going to pop. It's

581
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 9: just a matter of time or is there or is

582
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 9: there you know, if you rest it, will it not pop?

583
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 9: Because I'm just thinking that maybe if they got a

584
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 9: percentage like, hey, this is going to happen no matter what,

585
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 9: So go ahead and go out there and do as

586
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 9: much as you can because this is a critical time.

587
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 9: They just do that because they know it's going to

588
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 9: pop eventually because they've already put too much strain. There's

589
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 9: already too much inflammation and different things in there. So

590
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 9: that was just my question about the cast strange and

591
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 9: then my winder brand in fact that came out of

592
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 9: the finals is this is that OKAC is the first

593
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 9: team to win the NBA Finals when losing a playoff

594
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 9: game by forty or more points in the same year.

595
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 2: Okays, out of the day, I'm round to you buy

596
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: Beanini America. And once again I started the show where

597
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 2: I just I want to have people have context with

598
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: this team. They won the title, congratulations, but they did

599
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: beat a team it was the biggest underdog in the

600
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 2: last twenty five years, and you went to a seventh

601
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: game with them, and you went to seven games with

602
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: Denver Shay Gilgess can hold his head high.

603
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 3: He was great.

604
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 2: He wasn't great in Game seven shooting wise, but he

605
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 2: did everything that you want to start to do. Now,

606
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 2: does that mean we put him in the Kobe Bryant category. No,

607
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 2: but you can say he reminds me of Kobe in

608
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: certain situations.

609
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 3: That's fair. Is he Kobe? No? Is he Mike no?

610
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 3: Paul Pierce No. But he's a really good player.

611
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: Not exciting, but he is unbelievably talented and he knows

612
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 2: what he can do, and he knows that you know

613
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 2: what he can do. And he still scores. And I

614
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 2: love that people knew what Iversen.

615
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 3: Was going to do.

616
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: You couldn't stop him or t Mac or any of

617
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 2: these great scores. Like that's what's fun about. And people

618
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: don't understand being a scorer. Every single night there's scouting room,

619
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: like they know, get him there, help here, And those

620
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 2: guys still put up thirty at nine. Indiana was geared

621
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: to stop him, and I think they did a pretty

622
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: good job on him, believe it or not. I thought

623
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: those young guys did a pretty good job. And he

624
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: didn't do well in Game seven. I mean it's set

625
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 2: up for Indiana to win that game. Williams and SGA

626
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: did not shoot well. Yes, mart Nemhard from the Pacers.

627
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 2: He's friends with SGA.

628
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: They grew up to you, right.

629
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 7: He knows his game inside it out. And I was

630
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 7: watching a film study on NBA TV and they're like,

631
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 7: he knows exactly what he's gonna do, and he still

632
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 7: couldn't stop him.

633
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got the bag.

634
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 5: Yes, Well, certain guys like SGA, they don't have a move.

635
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 5: Their move is to CounterPunch. It's like they get you

636
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 5: in the middle of the fifteen foot mark and they

637
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 5: just back and forth and back and forth, and when

638
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 5: you commit, they go the other way and they hit

639
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 5: a twelve footer. It's not exciting, but it's efficient.

640
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 2: It's like Luca just like Luca. Yeah, yeah, but lucas

641
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 2: a far better. He shoots deep. SGA doesn't shoot, you know,

642
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 2: he's not a big three point shooter. Luca can shoot

643
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 2: really deep. Luca is Yeah, he kind of uses his body.

644
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 2: He likes contact. Then he moves. He'll move you one

645
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 2: way to go another way. Yeah, in some ways I

646
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 2: can see that. I just think sometimes when you go man,

647
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: he reminds me of Kobe. There's a couple of moves

648
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: that he has that remind me of Kobe. There's a

649
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: difference when he say, man, he's kind of reminds me

650
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 2: of Kobe. There's no other comparison with Kobe. Even Jordan,

651
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 2: like they were different. Even though Kobe wanted to be Mike,

652
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 2: Kobe still had his own offensive personality there.

653
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, Paulin I was watching Kobe clips the other day,

654
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 5: and he would get in the low post and he'd

655
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 5: keep that pivot foot as long as he could, and

656
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 5: he go one way another way and you'd commit and

657
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 5: then he just do like a little little scoop underneath you.

658
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 3: And it was not exciting. But man was eficial.

659
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 2: And Jordan, you know, everybody was like, man, he's going

660
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 2: down on the low post. Well, he had a height

661
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 2: advantage and he would just I got you on my

662
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 2: hip and.

663
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 3: It was death. He had a signature move on the

664
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: post and he would score. He wanted you down there. Yeah, Mark,

665
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 3: who's better? Michael Jordan? Young Michael Jordan Old? Like to me,

666
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 3: those are two best players ever, Young Michael Jordan and

667
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 3: old Michael Jordan.

668
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 7: Michael Jordan nineteen eighty eight might be the best player

669
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 7: I've ever seen. Michael Jordan in nineteen ninety eight might

670
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 7: be the second best player I've ever seen.

671

698
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 2: be Day one of the NBA Draft and then probably

699
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: Ron Harper's son Dylan Harper, will go number two to

700
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 2: San Antonio. What I wonder, Like, I'm curious Miami Heat

701
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 2: and the San Antonio Spurs didn't go all in to

702
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 2: get Kevin Durant and he wanted to go to one

703
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 2: of those places. And then I thought, why aren't they

704
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 2: going all in? Durant's gonna be thirty seven, He's gonna

705
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 2: want a lot of money contract extension.

706
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 3: But I was surprised. San Antonio you get Durant. See,

707
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 3: they didn't want to give up the second pick in

708
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 3: the draft, or you could have given up. They're not

709
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 3: gonna take Dearon Fox. You know, Castle was the rookie

710
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 3: of the year. So you start to wonder about these teams.

711
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 3: What was Miami gonna have.

712
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 2: To get give up to get Kevin Durant and That's

713
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 2: why the what the Rockets did was really wonderful, because

714
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: they had a core that they were trying to keep intact,

715
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 2: and then they could give the impression they're giving you something. Hey,

716
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 2: all these second round picks, and uh, we're gonna give

717
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 2: you a guy who scored twenty. Okay, that's still not

718
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 2: the guy to get because I would I would have

719
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 2: wanted Thompson because that guy wants to play defense and

720
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 2: he is different. Now I got some scores, Now I

721
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 2: get somebody. But they didn't want to give up, you know,

722
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 2: they didn't want to get rid of him, and rightfully

723
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 2: so I just think Phoenix could have done better in

724
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 2: that situation. But why didn't san Antonio go all in Miami?

725
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, Paul, do you think san Antonio thought that Durant

726
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 5: might hamper the development of whim be Yama as the

727
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 5: alpha dog there?

728
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if either one is an alpha dog.

729
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 5: Wemby seems like he's poised to be, this is going

730
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 5: into year three.

731
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know like his mental Durant's you know,

732
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 2: people are always going to talk about is Durana leader?

733
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 2: Like I don't even know what that means anymore? If

734
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 2: I go out there and I get thirty and I

735
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 2: hit big shots, am I leading? Or if I'm the raw,

736
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 2: raw guy and I'm saying, go out there, come on,

737
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 2: We're gonna play hard and we're gonna win, win, win, win,

738
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 2: my leader. I think we tend to look at the

739
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: latter part and you're like, you're a leader. Man, look

740
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: at these vocal Sometimes the guy who just goes out

741
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 2: there and says, give me the ball, you're kind of

742
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 2: leading by example. Tom in North Carolina, Good morning Tom,

743
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?

744
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 11: Hey, DP, I was wondering where you would rank the

745
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 11: time that Kobe Tori's achilles got up and hit two

746
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 11: free throws. I wonder if it's a one seed. I

747
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 11: know you got Kurt Gibson, but this being the season

748
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 11: ended injury, I'm kind of wondering.

749
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 9: Where you would put that.

750
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 2: Well, the fact that I would say Kurt Gibson, because

751
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 2: what's at stake. It's the World Series. You're a big

752
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 2: underdog and you're facing a Hall of Fame closer, and

753
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 2: they didn't even think Gibby could swing the bat, and

754
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 2: the fact that he went up there, everybody was shocked

755
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 2: and then there was nothing else he could do, except

756
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 2: for try to hit a.

757
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 3: Home run, and he did.

758
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: I mean, injuries will affect people differently, like you can. I've,

759
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 2: you know, torn a ligament at my knee. Knew I

760
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 2: did it, but I kept walking. I was running. I

761
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 2: knew it, and then all of a sudden, I walked

762
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 2: And I even said to the person, I said, I

763
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 2: just I just tore a ligament, And they're like, how

764
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 2: do you know A guy?

765
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 3: I know?

766
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 2: But Kobe, you know his achilles. It wasn't the same

767
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 2: as Haliburton. Haliburton needed help off the floor like he

768
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 2: was in pain. Aaron Rodgers just knew what he did.

769
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 2: Even Durant, like, you know what you did, and sometimes

770
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 2: your body takes over and all of a sudden it

771
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,280
