1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,240 Speaker 1: Uh, what is going on? 2 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 2: Hope you're enjoying your Monday morning, Jeff, Listen, we love basketball. 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: We were sickos. 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 2: We watched the WNBA a lot, We bet on the 5 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 2: WNBA a lot. Something caught my eye yesterday, So Angel Reese, 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 2: there's that line, pretty impressive. Sixteen points, seventeen rebounds, yea, 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: six assists. It wasn't a loss against the Minnesota Lenks. 8 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 2: But this is the third fifteen fifteen and five game 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 2: this season for Angel Rees. That's the most in WNBA history. 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: And we're like, what not even twenty games into the season. 11 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 2: So I saw that, and I thought to myself, like, 12 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to be as fair as possible. Okay, 13 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 2: when you look at a player like Angel Reese or 14 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 2: athletes in general, regardless of the sport, you gotta ask yourself, 15 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: am I grading on how the athlete looks, you know, 16 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: like stylistically or anything like that, or am I grading 17 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 2: on how great their impact is? And so if you're 18 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 2: grading Angel Reese on how she looks on the basketball court, 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: just her style of play, her game, She's not gonna 20 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:12,919 Speaker 2: get high marks. 21 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 3: Man. 22 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: It's like watching Angel Reese play basketball is like watching 23 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 2: a Bowl. Try to Salset dance, you know, how would 24 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: that It's like just clunky and weird and you don't 25 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 2: quite have the moves and it's not fluid or graceful, 26 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 2: like she just doesn't have a graceful game that. 27 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: Nope, it doesn't. 28 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: You shouldn't be grading solely on that, right, I don't 29 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: think you should be grading mostly on that. I think 30 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: you should be grading mostly on what's the impact, regardless 31 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: of what it looks like, Like Jokich. Yokic doesn't have 32 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: this graceful game. It's pretty at times, but he's clunky. 33 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: He's not this fluid like sore through the air Michael 34 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: Jordan like player. He's clunky at times, but he is 35 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: so impactful. And I think you could also look at 36 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: Angel and say, all right, she scored sixteen points, but 37 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: she took sixteen shots, she had seven turnovers. You could 38 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: always look at the downside beyond just a good side. 39 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 2: And I also think I'm trying to be fair here, Jeff. 40 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: Something else to consider. Chicago Sky are five and twelve. 41 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 2: You know, so playing on a sucky team can greatly 42 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: help your individual numbers. That's not a hater statement. Look 43 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: at Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow's numbers last season were sick. 44 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: It's seventy point six completion percentage, nearly five thousand yards passing, 45 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 2: forty three touchdown passes, nine interceptions. 46 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: Hiss passer rating was one to eight point five. 47 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: Those numbers are insane, but his numbers are absolutely helped 48 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 2: because his defense was. 49 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: A train wreck. 50 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, he had to throw a bunch yet. 51 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: Right, so I think that's fair with Angel. So, long 52 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: story short, all these things to consider, But are you 53 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: grading Angel more on how she looks as an athlete, 54 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: as a basketball player, or what her impact regardless of 55 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: what it looks ultimately is. 56 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 4: I'm just grading her on her first of all, just 57 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 4: her stats and how she plays. I mean, you can't 58 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 4: argue that she's not impactful to her team, right, I 59 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 4: mean you look at what they're doing, especially without Cardosa 60 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 4: being there, Like she needs to take more shots, she 61 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 4: needs to be more part of the game, and her 62 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 4: stats back that up. Now, the thing about winning and losing, 63 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 4: how much does it helping her team win and lose? 64 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 4: I don't know. Her team's not very good. I'm not 65 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 4: sure it's her fault, but I just don't know if 66 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 4: a team can win when your best player taking the 67 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 4: most shots, shoots forty percent and most of the shots 68 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 4: are within five feet of the basket. Like that, to me, 69 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 4: is feels an unastainable way to win. But you can't 70 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 4: doubt that she is supremely gifted. She's an outstanding reabout 71 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 4: her effort, her hustle, like those are things you can't measure. 72 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,119 Speaker 4: I guess you can in the rebounds, right, I mean, 73 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 4: but you're right. Her style of play is not esthetically pleasing, 74 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 4: but so you know, there's been plenty of players of 75 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 4: the NBA that we praised over the years that aren't 76 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 4: esthetically pleasing. But just get the job done. She gets 77 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 4: the job done again, so I greater on that, right 78 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 4: does she? Yes, she gets a job, but she's an 79 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 4: all star. She deserves the credit for her statistical performances. 80 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 4: The last four or five games mostly coincided with with 81 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 4: Cardoso going to Europe to play, and she's done a 82 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 4: great job. But is her impact helping them win? I 83 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 4: don't know. The team is so bad, Brian, It's it's 84 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 4: hard to I mean, they had any sort of other score. 85 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 4: I think the team is better. And then we don't 86 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 4: talk about this in the way that we do. With 87 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 4: her team not winning and losing, her plus minus this 88 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 4: year is not great, but that's also because her team 89 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 4: is not very good. Turnovers weren't great last night. It's interesting, right, 90 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 4: if Caitlin Clark has six turnovers, it like leads. Everyone's 91 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: everyonet's talk about her six turnovers. Six turnovers, I mean, 92 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 4: Reese has had ten turnovers last to the last two games, 93 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 4: as she's not even a point guard, but we don't. 94 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 4: That doesn't lead. So I think there's many things to 95 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 4: praise angel Ree for. Again. Her effort, her energy or 96 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 4: intensity all very admirable. I as someone who was a 97 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 4: sort of big, slow couldn't move, My thing was like 98 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 4: defense and rebounding. That's all. I wasn't gonna score a 99 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 4: bunch that was gonna be very explosive. So I appreciate 100 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,799 Speaker 4: her effort in doing all those things, but it doesn't 101 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 4: lead to the team winning. I don't know if it's 102 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 4: that's on her completely, Bride, because the team is just 103 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 4: not very good in general. What do you I mean 104 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 4: you want to skyplay a bunch. The team's just bad. 105 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 4: I'm not sure it's anyone's fault. I'm not sure that 106 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 4: you can say Angel Reese is shooting too much. I 107 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 4: do think again, when you're when you lead the team 108 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 4: in field goals like last night and you shoot forty percent, 109 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 4: probably not a way to win long term. But that's 110 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 4: again this one game was last. 111 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think that it's an interesting thought and 112 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: you could apply it to a lot of different athletes 113 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: where just the way their game looks like it matters. 114 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: Maybe it matters a little bit too much, but I 115 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 2: think that if you look at Angel play, it's kind 116 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 2: of like it's just the style. 117 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 4: It's not very explosive. Now, the league itself is not 118 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 4: explosive for the most part, but that's why you have 119 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 4: to when you watch WNBA, it's a far different sport 120 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 4: than any of. 121 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: Their basketball, there's no doubt. 122 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: But that's the thing is if you put other athletes 123 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: into this equation, right, think about the NBA. When Steph 124 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 2: Curry misses a shot, it's almost kind of soothing. You know, 125 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: his form is perfect. You're like, man, it looked like 126 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 2: it was going in when Lonzo Ball and that goofy, 127 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: Like remember when he was in college especially, you had 128 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 2: that goofy weird four or campaign Cameron Payne was with 129 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: the Niggs, like his goofy left. He's like, yeah, he's 130 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: facing east. His whole body is pointed east as he's 131 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: shooting north, you know, and when he misses, You're like, 132 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, that's the ugliest thing I've ever seen, 133 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: you know, Like the style matters, and I start thinking, like, 134 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to make this a MJ. 135 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: Lebron thing. We've been down that road enough. 136 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 2: But the one thing that's never talked about, you know, Jeff, 137 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: is just how their games look like, just just simply 138 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 2: how their games looked. We always make it six rings, 139 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: four rings, this that bad. 140 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: But Jordan was just such a fluid, graceful athlete. 141 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that Lebron doesn't have grace or style, 142 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 2: but he's just like a freight train, you know what 143 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 2: I mean. Like it looks different. It's just a different 144 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 2: deal stylistically. It's like we just had the Fourth of July. 145 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 2: There are some fireworks where you're like ooh ah. You know, 146 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: it's the same way with athletes and their styles, where 147 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: if you're going ooh and I chances are you're probably 148 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: saying some glowing things about them that you're not saying 149 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: about someone whose game doesn't make you go. 150 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: Ooh and a. 151 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's certainly Lebron is afraid. But buddy, this is 152 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 4: not ten mid ten years. I got to watch. I 153 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 4: got to go to a Miami Heat preseason game. They 154 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 4: played in Kansas City and I was playing for the Chiefs. 155 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 4: I had to sit. We all the entire basic Chiefs 156 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 4: team got court side seats. That's kind of funny. It 157 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 4: was by seniority, so like I was new there. I 158 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 4: was like under the basket court side, but there were 159 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 4: a couple of seats right at mid court that weren't taken. 160 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 4: So I was like, all right, I'm gonna sit over there. 161 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 4: So I sat there for the first half of the game. 162 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 4: I got to see Lebron up close in person, and 163 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 4: I was in awe of just his physical nature, like 164 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 4: his presence. He is a big human to be that 165 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 4: good to move that well, Jordan's not Jordan for Nbas. 166 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 4: Jordan's not big, right, And so yeah, the games are different, 167 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 4: they feel different, They're gonna look different. And for Reese, again, 168 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 4: it looks clunky. It looks like there was a shot 169 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 4: she made last night. I was, I was she was 170 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 4: kind of rebound. There are like three three women on 171 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 4: her and she like threw it up team looking at 172 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 4: the backboard and went in. I was like, I was 173 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 4: like that, wow, okay, all right, like great shot in 174 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 4: all that went in. It's just that's what you get 175 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 4: from from you watch ree So it's not a pretty game. 176 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 4: But look, as much as people might not want to 177 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 4: like Angel Reese and she says things sometimes. I showed 178 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 4: the other day that I know teams game plan for 179 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 4: me and they've told me, oh stop, okay, I mean sure, 180 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 4: I guess I don't. They don't play you like that 181 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 4: your single teams all the time, you know, I mean 182 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 4: like they don't like we can. 183 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: Clearly want to get on you to like box you out. 184 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 2: But yeah, not like let's we got to stop her. 185 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 4: Of course, they say, like, let's let's make sure Inuri 186 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 4: doesn't get a rebound ye rebounding. You can't deny the 187 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 4: production though, right sure, sixteen sixteen six last sixteen seventeen, 188 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 4: whatever it was last night, you cannot deny the production. 189 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 4: I said. Our text mentioned me that the Russell Westbrook 190 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 4: cop right where like just it is I think always 191 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 4: going to go and put up numbers right, and the 192 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 4: first month of the year when she was a little 193 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 4: bit down, and she's always going to be a stack compiler. 194 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 4: Just tons of numbers, tons of stats. The question becomes 195 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 4: does the winning come with it? Right? And I think 196 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 4: it's too early because their team is so bad to 197 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 4: blame any of this on Angel Reese. But the dynamic 198 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 4: we talked earlier about, like Kayln Clark. You know, they 199 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 4: lose a couple of games. It's Clark's fault. You know, 200 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 4: it hits in the different teams. I get it, different 201 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 4: teams in situations, but you know, someone we seem to 202 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 4: ignore that. The Sky are just really really bad. Yeah, yeah, 203 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 4: they're gonna I had their season went total under Brian, 204 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 4: I should have put more money on it. Unfortunately, you 205 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 4: can't just like go back and hey, I'm gonna put 206 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 4: another five on it, please, ods like please, nineteen and 207 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 4: a half please? Nineteen and a half was their win total? 208 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah no, I don't. 209 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: That's not that far below five hundred. They're going to 210 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: be way below five hundred. 211 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 4: Yeah. So again, ael Race is really good. Her energy effort, 212 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 4: it just looks weird. It's it's not graceful. Uh and again, 213 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 4: I'm just curiously as her career goes on, you know, 214 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 4: can you play that style for a long time? Right? 215 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 4: And then you know, is it going to lead to 216 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 4: the team winning? And it hasn't won so far, didn't 217 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 4: win last year, it's not going to win this year. 218 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 4: Not always her fault. The team is not very good 219 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 4: around her. Can you get free agents come to that 220 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 4: to come to Chicago and play with her? You know? 221 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 4: All those things I think are I'm curious to see 222 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 4: is as the years go on. 223 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: I think good. 224 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: I think the wow factor is interesting right when where 225 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 2: you're just talking about this athlete or that athlete, who's better, 226 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 2: Like who's your your favorite, like all that type of stuff. 227 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 2: I think it factors in more than it should or 228 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 2: more than you even think it does, right Because like 229 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: we do a show with Bill Krackenberger for those you know, 230 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 2: don't listen on Sunday Morning, Shame Hunter. 231 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: You check it out. 232 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 2: But he's a professional sports handicapper and he had a 233 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 2: question that we didn't get to yesterday morning where he 234 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 2: was like, is Novak Djokovic the best the greatest tennis 235 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: player ever? And my initial thought was yeah, probably, Like 236 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 2: that's probably and I started thinking about that, and I'm like, 237 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 2: if he had a little bit more style, you know, 238 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 2: like Nadal was just he had the power game and 239 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 2: it was like wow. And you had Federer who was 240 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 2: just so precise. He had the precision game and it 241 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 2: was beautiful and he had style while doing it. Djokovic 242 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 2: is like a robot out there and he's like a 243 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 2: cyborg who I give him reddit, but he is just 244 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: you know, serve, volley, serve, you know, like backhand. 245 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 1: That's how he That's how his game is. 246 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, he just doesn't have a lot of style or 247 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: a lot of flair. And if he did, and the 248 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 2: same question is like his joker the greatest tennis player 249 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: of all time? Like, absolutely, Kimmy's got the most Grand Slams, 250 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 2: he got the most majors. What are we talking about here? 251 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 2: Absolutely he is. But that style, man, that wow factor 252 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 2: absolutely factors in. I have to check myself sometimes. So 253 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 2: it's like, I shouldn't be grating athletes are doing any 254 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 2: of this based on that, And there are times that 255 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 2: I do and I shouldn't. 256 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 4: He had a great little game play the other day 257 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 4: and back and forth with a fall tennis really at all, 258 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 4: So I can't set good set to good gay a 259 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 4: good set point. I love by the way that Crackson's 260 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 4: over topics to you, yeah every week because I just 261 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 4: would have guessed that and I don't, but mostly because 262 00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 4: we talk all week and I figure, like the stuff 263 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 4: text about is gonna make the show, which it does, 264 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 4: so I don't.

I 339 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 4: just can't wait for the NFL praceason to get here. 340 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: It's crazy, all right, we'll coming up next. 341 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 2: There's something that you maybe would think about wagering on. 342 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 2: But even with the betting thing to decide, it was 343 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 2: a pretty good performance by this guy who has taken 344 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 2: a lot of arrows since last season. 345 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: We'll get to that.

So you see this Bronnie James. 373 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 2: Bronnie James scored ten points in a Summer League game 374 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 2: yesterday against the Miami Heat and only ten minutes. How 375 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 2: about that one point per minute? 376 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 4: It feels like he might be good enough to like 377 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 4: be a a backup, like no, an NBA. Like if 378 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 4: he wasn't Lebron's, like, kid, would would he be a 379 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 4: backup an NBA? He would be right, I don't know, 380 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:52,479 Speaker 4: I don't know. 381 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: Maybe it's possible. 382 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 4: You know. 383 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 2: The thing that never gets thrown into the Bronnie James 384 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: discussion is like the dude had a near death episode 385 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 2: in college at USC at cardiac arrest. You know, it's 386 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 2: kind of a big deal in your NBA development, you know, 387 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 2: and like this guy, he's a talented player. I know 388 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 2: some people are just rolling their eyes just. 389 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: Like he wouldn't be in the NBA. You can't get 390 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: me on it. He wouldn't be in the NBA without. 391 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 2: Lebron probably probably at this stage, yes, but at any 392 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 2: stage you don't know that for sure. So you're acting 393 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 2: like this guy was in college for like three or 394 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 2: four years was a total dud. Had no like medical 395 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 2: hardship of any note, you know, that played any significant 396 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 2: part in his basketball journey, like all those things. He 397 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 2: was what one year in college he had the cardiac arrest. 398 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: That's a lot going. 399 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 2: On, man, So to act like after one year of 400 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 2: summer league this is all it's ever gonna be. 401 00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: I just don't agree with that. 402 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 4: I think it's fair to say that, you know, he 403 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 4: he probably doesn't get the chance to be in the 404 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 4: NBA and without his dad based off of his his 405 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 4: play at at USC right, Like, that's that's I think 406 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 4: certainly fair to say that maybe he would have gone 407 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 4: a two way contract, a summer league contract, things like that, 408 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 4: and it's all fair to say that that's, you know, 409 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 4: that's possible. But I think since he's been in the league, 410 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 4: I mean, he had I was looking run he had 411 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 4: seventeen points in a game, like that's not nothing. He 412 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 4: had nine points in another game, Like it's not it's 413 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 4: not nothing that he that he he scored. He started 414 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 4: slow in his career, played a couple of minutes here 415 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 4: and there, but it's sort of the last, you know, 416 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 4: the last sort of month he got to play a 417 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 4: little bit more. He was got a little bit better, 418 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 4: and we saw the Summer League yesterday or was it 419 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 4: two days ago? How much he's gonna I think he's 420 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 4: going to be fine eventually. So I mean it's fair 421 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 4: to say two days one not an NBA without his dad. 422 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 4: But also I find it pretty cool if I was 423 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 4: in this situation, I don't think I'll be in the 424 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 4: situation to play in the NFL with my son if 425 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 4: I Yeah, yeah, as I sit here with like with 426 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 4: a towel behind my back to stretch my back out 427 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 4: so it's not too tight sitting here as we do this, 428 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 4: I look, I think it's it's super cool that he 429 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,239 Speaker 4: gets to choose to play with this kid. I love it. 430 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 4: I think it's it's great. He's not taking a roster 431 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 4: spot from anybody, you know, like all these things like 432 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 4: you're just like whatever, man, He's just on the roster, 433 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 4: Like it's not a big deal. Lebron's good enough to 434 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 4: be able to demand essentially just to happen. It's not 435 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 4: hurting anyone. Again, no one else is on the no 436 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 4: one else who would normally be in the roster is 437 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 4: taking getting a roster spot taken up by Brownie. He's 438 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 4: not plain enough to really matter at all anyways. But 439 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 4: then when he gets a little bit of time thirty 440 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 4: minutes here, thirty minutes there, we see a little bit 441 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 4: of improvement. Summer League, a little bit of improvement. And 442 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 4: I think that the more time he gets, the more 443 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 4: or it's being justified that he is in the NBA. 444 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 4: And I think that's kind of my point, is like 445 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 4: he's he's good enough with more time to show that 446 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 4: the talent is there. If you give him some more minutes, 447 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 4: you can see a role frame in the NBA is 448 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 4: a backup. It was never going to be a starter, 449 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 4: but his role frame as a backup. And I'm glad 450 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 4: you mentioned the thing that here a cardiac evented us see, 451 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 4: like that's important. He didn't really play a stretchman season, 452 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 4: so we never even got to see it. Yeah. 453 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing is. 454 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 2: I think the disconnect here, I understand where there are 455 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 2: a lot of people that have an issue with it. 456 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 2: They don't like the nepotism thing, and it's like, Okay, 457 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 2: I get your criticism, I understand that. But the disconnect 458 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 2: and the divide is like where there's a FOURK in 459 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 2: a road you go that way, I go this other 460 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 2: way is you're acting like anyone who got an opportunity 461 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 2: due to nepotism never panned out to be anything, You 462 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like that, there's a difference right there. Okay, 463 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 2: you're about the initial opportunity. Okay, I can't tell you 464 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 2: you're automatically wrong if that's how you feel. But if 465 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 2: you think that Bronnie will never be any good whatsoever, 466 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 2: just because he got that initial opportunity because of nepotism. 467 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: I don't agree with that. 468 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 2: Like, think how many opportunities have come over the years, 469 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 2: whether it's an athlete in basketball or football, or like ownership. 470 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: Think about how many times like. 471 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 2: A guy owns a team and then passes it on 472 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 2: to his kids who never would have gotten that opportunity 473 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 2: if not for that nepotism, and then turned out to 474 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 2: be really good at what they did as well. Like 475 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 2: that happens just because you get an opportunity that you 476 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 2: probably wouldn't have gotten if not for that relationship or 477 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 2: if not for that nepotism, That doesn't mean you're automatically 478 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 2: doomed to failure and you're never going to be anything. 479 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: So that's right. 480 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 2: I can understand people being a said about it. Okay, 481 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 2: I'm not, but if you are, I get it. But 482 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 2: to act like he's never going to amount to something 483 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 2: because he initially got that opportunity you thought he didn't deserve. 484 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: I just don't agree with that. There are many. 485 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 2: Examples of that being the case where they do pan 486 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 2: out and they are good at something they wouldn't have 487 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 2: gotten opportunity in happens a lot. 488 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 4: It happens a lot. And look, I understand if you 489 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 4: know you are getting passed up for jobs because nepotism, 490 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 4: I get how that would make someone. I mean, I mean, 491 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 4: you know, in the sports media world, Brian, oh oh god, 492 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 4: I get passed up for not nepotism, just like what's 493 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 4: the wright way to put it, like cloud nepotism, like 494 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 4: you play more years? Yeah yeah, right, Like happens all 495 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 4: the time. So I certainly get that feeling. I totally 496 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 4: get it. But then if someone gets that opportunity and 497 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 4: does really well, I have to just be like, yeah, 498 00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 4: like they got the job, and maybe I would have 499 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 4: done as well, but they've earned that opportunity. Now that 500 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 4: they've gone in, they've earned that chance. I would imagine that, 501 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 4: you know, you know, uh, what's uh, what's Iron Eagle's son. 502 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 4: Noah's really good. I'm sure people are really good. 503 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 504 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 4: I can't believe he's getting a job over me. 505 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 2: Call it Olympic basketball. He's done a great job, will 506 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 2: be the NBC. 507 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, so there are there are chances. There are 508 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 4: times when they do end up ends up panning out 509 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 4: and look again for Browny. The the best case scenarios. 510 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 4: He is a career backup. You know, he he plays 511 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 4: six seven years. Maybe he's a two way deal, or 512 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 4: he goes overseas for a few years. 513 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: Like that's it. 514 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 4: It's it's not no harm, no foul, Right, he's not 515 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 4: taking a rospot from anybody. And the guy who brought 516 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 4: you a championship and is the face of your team 517 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 4: in your league and Lebron gets to be happy to 518 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 4: play with this kid. Yeah, I mean it feels like 519 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 4: really harmless. Brian. 520 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I think people are are very worked up, 521 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 2: and it's them from Hey, I'm incredibly fond of Lebron, 522 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: and now we get nepotism and now we're off and running, 523 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 2: you know, and people are Yeah, the. 524 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:14,479 Speaker 4: Lebron hate to me just seems so misguided. Sometimes I 525 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 4: just don't get it. He is, he has never gone 526 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 4: in trouble. 527 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 3: I know. 528 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 2: I'm kind of like you where you know, I'll let 529 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 2: you finish. I don't mean to butt in, but I'm 530 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 2: with you on this where I don't understand why you can't. 531 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: Be more like a waffle as a sports fan. 532 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 2: You know what I mean, where a waffle has these sections, 533 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 2: it's like everything blends together. It's my sister told me 534 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 2: about this book where it's like men are like waffles, 535 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 2: women are like spaghetti, you know where I don't know 536 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 2: if you have a a thing at your job, and 537 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 2: then it's this relationship with the family men, and everything's together, 538 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 2: you know, everything blends together. Men can separate and compartmentalize 539 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 2: a lot. Sports fans sure can't. I don't know what 540 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 2: it is if if you dislike Lebron and in any 541 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 2: capacity about any opinion he shared, or whatever the reason is, 542 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 2: somehow they cannot separate that from Lebron James the basketball player, 543 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 2: Lebron James the athlete, it all blends together, and it's 544 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,479 Speaker 2: ridiculous you gotta separate stuff. I'll never I don't mean 545 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: to go on a rant. 546 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: Jeff. 547 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 2: But I remember doing radio at the time when Michael 548 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: Vick was back in the NFL. This was after the 549 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 2: dog fighting thing, and I can't tell you how many 550 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 2: people would call in he shouldn't be considered for the 551 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 2: MVP he was. I'm like, that has fighting dogs, has 552 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 2: nothing to do with his MVP credentials. 553 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: Nothing. You got to get over it. It doesn't even apply. 554 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 2: But people are trying to shoehorn it in there, and 555 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 2: it's like you gotta separate stuff, and people cannot separate 556 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 2: stuff when it comes to Lebron, how they feel about 557 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 2: him and how unbelievable he's been throughout his career. 558 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 4: But I don't even I understand what people would be 559 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 4: would be like anti Michael Vick. Okay, I don't know 560 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 4: what Lebron has done to where you would be anti 561 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 4: let Fair. It's like, I just don't know what he's done. 562 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 4: He eleven years ago he did an hour long special 563 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 4: with it raised three million dollars pretty for the Boys 564 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 4: and Girls Club. You know, I just I don't know 565 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 4: what he what he did. He's a little corny with 566 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 4: Taco Tuesday sometimes. I don't know. He's in mid forties, Dad, 567 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,239 Speaker 4: I mean I would imagine my kids probably feel I'm 568 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 4: a little corny sometimes too. I'm not forty quite yet, but. 569 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: May he's definitely got an ego, he definitely. 570 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 4: But who doesn't have an ego's He's the best player 571 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 4: for twenty years. 572 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: It's been hard not to have an ego. That's fair. 573 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: But I'm just trying to I don't hate him for 574 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: these reasons. 575 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 4: Why I know, but it just seems so like I 576 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 4: get if you don't like ex player because they had 577 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,959 Speaker 4: an off the court incident, right or he said he 578 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 4: Actually I think it's pretty remarkable that there's some superstars 579 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,479 Speaker 4: like him that have just never had Like think about 580 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 4: all the attention he's had the spotlight since he was 581 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 4: sixteen years old playing for who who he played for? 582 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 4: Was it not Okill Kills St? Mary's like he was 583 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 4: on Sports Illustrated like fifteen years old. No, I never 584 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 4: not one scandal. Scandal is his son plays with him 585 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 4: for the Lakers. I know. 586 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 2: It's wild, right, Like, and think of some of the 587 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: scandals that we've had of in recent years, whether it's 588 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson, Justin Tucker, what have you could just you know, 589 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 2: rattle stuff off left and right. 590 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 4: Justin Tucker, by the way, so innocent that he he 591 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 4: accepted the right. 592 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 2: You know, I won't fight this ten game suspension even 593 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 2: though I'm completely innocent. 594 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: That that adds up. But yeah, like. 595 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 2: You could be uh bent over those things. That's something 596 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 2: to be upset about, Yeah, something to be angered about. Yeah, 597 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 2: but Lebron, I don't know, doing these goofy things begging 598 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 2: for more attention, which, yeah, you can roll your eyes. 599 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: From time to time, but in in. 600 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 2: Comparison those other things, it's pretty ridiculous to really be 601 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 2: upset about that. But yeah, man, that's the way it goes. 602 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 2: It's weird, it's strange how that goes. But I think 603 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 2: that factors in too. Like put it this way, Who's 604 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 2: who's an athlete that is so well liked that if 605 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 2: his son got an opportunity he otherwise wouldn't have gotten. 606 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 2: People wouldn't have been nearly as upset about Is there 607 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 2: someone like Steph Curry? I don't like Steph Curry's son 608 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 2: gets an opportunity. I don't think people would be nearly. 609 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 4: As Caitlin Clark's daughter. I know they would. 610 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: They would be irate about that. 611 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 4: He's so angry. I don't know. I don't, I don't know. 612 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 4: I mean, it's just so unlikely to see because it's funny, 613 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 4: is I was too young for the Griffy thing. It 614 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 4: was anyone like when Kank Griffey obviously was a Hall 615 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 4: of Fame, which makes it, you know, if Brownie was better, 616 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 4: I think people would look at it a little differently 617 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 4: because a lot of times when father son duos have played, 618 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 4: it's been they've both been really superstars, right, been really good, 619 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 4: and Bronnie just is not. And again he's a up 620 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 4: an NBA at best. I'm trying think of another player 621 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 4: that people would be this upset if they're if their 622 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 4: their their. 623 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: Kid as upset. 624 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 2: I could come up with athletes like that, but the opposite, 625 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 2: like not upset. You know they're they're so popular, you're 626 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 2: really not upset that his kid got this opportunity. I 627 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 2: think Steph could be on the list. Steph is very 628 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 2: well liked, very positiveph. 629 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 4: Could be thinking of any like any like football players. 630 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: Like Mahome's kid. I don't know that. 631 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 4: People would people would not like that that that feels 632 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 4: impossible to happen. Let me think of uh you before. 633 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: I got it. 634 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers kid, total free past. 635 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 4: We don't even I'm just I'm looking forward to seeing 636 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 4: the wife. 637 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 2: The wife has been you know, he he's just hiding 638 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 2: everything in his per We've. 639 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 4: Seen Otani's wife like we've seen her before, like she's 640 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 4: been to some events, and yes, she does a great 641 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 4: job of hiding her, which is uh, you know, I 642 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 4: I don't know how they do it. I mean, obviously 643 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 4: that's incredible that that you think about O Tawni's fame 644 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 4: and that we just really don't see his wife ever. 645 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty wild, right, It's crazy like. 646 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 4: That's it's incredible how they're able to. Again, it's a 647 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 4: great work life balance if you can achieve that, I mean, 648 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 4: that's fantastic. I know some athletes just you couldn't do that. 649 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 4: And O TWI can. You know, he was like plus 650 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,959 Speaker 4: two fifty to one m v P this year, Like 651 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 4: the numbers seems so low.

Would that be? Like they 659 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 4: both play in the summer league, they both have to do.
