We got an interesting fun guest, how about this. 0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:01.440 It's actually the first non non basketball guests on The 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:05.640 Draymondgreen Show. But he is a basketball guess in an 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.200 interesting way, and we'll get to that. 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.000 I'm gonna keep that a secret for now. 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.280 But for those of y'all out there, you know we 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.600 are on live on the Bleacher Report app, so make 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.560 sure you throw your questions in the chat. We will 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.160 get to those later before we finish out the show. 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.239 And like I said in the meantime in between this time, 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.840 we'll have a guest here. Don't forget the scripech a 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.920 you subscribe to a YouTube channel YouTube dot com slash 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:31.560 at Draymondgreen Show. 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:32.760 Let's get into it. 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.600 The Knicks beat the Pacers one thirty to one twenty one, 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.959 and remember I said, the Patiers kind of need to 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.560 be the first to one twenty and that only doesn't 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.040 work if you give up one hundred and thirty points. 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.200 We also discussed how I didn't think the Pacers wasn't 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.600 eighty was a sixteen game team. I think they're more 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.320 of an eighty two game team because they don't play defense. 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.760 And you give up one thirty and Jalen Brunson misses 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.639 an entire quarter, you give up one thirty and og 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:03.000 On Noby has twenty eight points in twenty eight minutes 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:07.600 and goes out the game with a hamstring injury. You're 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.200 you're kind of playing no defense, and that's who the 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.920 Pacers has been all year. I think they're having it. 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.200 They've had an incredible season, but the buck stops at 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.440 some point when you don't play defense and you think 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.840 you're just gonna outscore people, that has never worked in 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:25.239 the NBA and never will work in the NBA. 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.600 So that's that. 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.400 Some more interesting news out of the Knicks camp, Jalen 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:39.600 Brunson has now passed Carmelo Anthony in playoff points. And 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.440 I know it's been this debate about is Jaylen Brunton, 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.080 uh like one of the greatest Knicks ever already and 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.160 all of these things. And I have a hard time 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.880 saying Jaylen Brunston is higher up to Melow because I 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.920 came in the league underneath Mellow. You know, Melo is 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.280 one of the superstars in the league when I came in, 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.520 and you know, just watching Mellow my entire life, you know, 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.560 I feel like one of those old heads that be 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.120 hating on the younger guys, like when our generation when 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:10.880 this guy did that, and can never see past that. 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.480 But I still got to roll with Mellow for now. 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.400 But Jaylen Brusson is making his mark, and I think 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.080 right now is a great time for us to bring 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.760 on our guests, because if we're gonna talk Nicks, I 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:28.360 want to talk Nick Nix with these crazy ass Knicks. 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.320 Fans that they just banter and banter and Bencher. 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:35.440 So let's welcome our guest to the show, the host 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.040 of the All In podcast, one of the most successful 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:40.600 Angel investors. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:40.799 Of our time. 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:45.479 Jason cal Kane is my friend, jabs up, my brother. 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:47.040 It's good to be here. 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.600 And I have been watching and taking notes on the 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:52.400 Draymond Green Show. I know you have a lot of 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.000 feelings about the Knicks, and you know I have a 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:56.360 lot of feelings about the Knicks. 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:58.719 H And I've been rooting for that my whole life. 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.239 Since the Patrick Ewing when I got to see Jordan 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.880 and Ewing and Alonso Morning and all this stuff. 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.720 And you've been. 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.640 Dogging me in the group chat and that poker for 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:10.640 over a decade about my Knicks. 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:12.040 And here we are. 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.760 You're in Cabo, getting that fishing in in May, getting 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:21.719 that early sun, and my Knicks, my Knicks in six 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:25.520 in the first round, versus the MVP, with our future MVP, 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:26.520 and here we are. 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.680 Looks like the brooms are out for Pacers. 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.560 I called it a gentleman sweet five and I'm ready 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.520 for Celtics. I'm ready for Celtics. And you know what, 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.320 the Celtics who not want to play in the Knicks, I. 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:40.440 Can tell you that you you y'all actually think that 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.640 your number one. He talks about me being out of 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:50.279 the playoffs. So again when I talk delusional Knicks fans, 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.680 he talks about me being out of playoffs, being in 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.320 fishing in Cabo in early May, as if they won 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.880 a championship. Y'all are in the second round, like it's 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:00.600 the second round of the play. 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.320 You have no idea drama on if you If you 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.360 have a man who's dying in the desert, right and 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.840 you give them a dixie cup of water, that's like 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:10.800 swimming in an ocean. For us, man, this is you 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.760 just pop champagne bottles. I'm at the buffet. We have 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.840 been starving for decades. We got a little bit of carmelo. Uh, 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.960 you know, but since then, you know, we've had a 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.000 lot of pain. You know, we had dead Tony, we 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.320 had Eddie Curry. I mean, we've had pain and suffering. Man, 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:29.560 let us enjoy it is what I'm trying to tell you, 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:30.599 draanma let us dream. 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.800 But I have questions for you. 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.040 And by the way, I just want to say your 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:40.360 podcast is so great out of the gate, and you 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.400 went from doing you know what's really easy, uh, you know, 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.880 being part of a panel or popping in other people's 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:52.600 podcasts to the second most difficult, which is doing solo podcasts. 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.400 And you know, doing a solo podcast is so hard 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.239 and you do it so tight, especially after you're getting 0:06:58.279 --> 0:06:59.720 off the court, you know, when you do it after 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.840 a game, I mean unprecedented, And so I just want 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.599 to give you a lot, a lot of kudos for 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.680 that because it's it's impressive to me for somebody who's 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.640 done two thousand episodes of podcast. 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:11.560 I appreciate that. 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.320 The question I have, you know for you is, you know, 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.040 brunts and we as Nick fans, have been watching him 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:22.880 get better and better and better, and he had those 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.680 moments you know on the MAVs when Luca was out 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.480 and I asked Mark Cuban, we're friendly, and I said, 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.280 how good is this kid we traded for here? 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.360 And he said he's very good. I said, how much upside? 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.720 He says, he's got upside, But this is more upside 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:41.320 than the entire NBA expected. So putting aside, you know 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.520 the fact that you're very rarely not in the postseason 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.400 and the Knicks are never in the postseason, I wanted 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.400 to ask you, as a player, what are we seeing 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:53.440 from Brunton because there's people, you know, Chuck and Shaq 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:54.960 who are kind of dog in the next you're a. 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:55.440 Dog in him. 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.840 But let's talk about that player because I've been watching 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.760 all season as he gets better and better and more. 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.520 Unstoppable and more unstompable. 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:08.720 And the floater, the three, the picks, I mean, the 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.080 mid range. This kid can do it all. So how 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.360 good is he? Putting aside the Carmelo comparison, just how 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:14.800 good is he? 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:15.559 And is their upside? 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.800 Left? My two questions for you, y'all see this crazy 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:18.880 bro mance going on. 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.640 This man just gave us a complete rundown the Jalen 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.640 brust On a Draymond Green show. But I'm here for 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:28.080 because I actually like and respect Jaylen Bruston. Jaylen Bruston 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:29.800 is a winner, has been a runner, so he got 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.520 my respect. But here's the thing, j cal If Jaylen 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.959 bron said was who he is today, and. 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.439 Everybody believed that he would be who he is today. 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:46.240 He wouldn't be a nick because you don't let no, 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:50.680 you don't let star players get away, let alone walk 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.680 for nothing. And he walked from the Dallas Mavericks for 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.120 absolutely nothing. 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.280 The fact that they are actually in the position that 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:00.680 they're in. 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.120 When you lost a guy like that for absolutely nothing 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:08.960 one year prior, it is absolutely incredible in itself. But 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:13.839 no one expected Jalen to be this No, he also 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.400 wouldn't have signed. When Jalen signed his deal, which I 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.800 think is right around four years, one hundred million or. 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:21.679 Something like that, Yeah, about twenty five million a year. 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.920 Everybody was like, Oh my god, he's he's he's overpaid. 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.400 I can't believe they paid him that money. Do they 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.640 think he's going to be a number one option worldwide? 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.400 West is paying him because he's had a relationship with 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:36.600 him since he was a kid. 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:40.160 Uh, you know, Leon Rose. They're taking care of their 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:41.120 ca guys. 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:47.640 And although it appeared that way that that that's what 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:48.200 was happening. 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.720 I mean, the NBA even launched an entire. 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:57.160 Tempering allegation thing over because Uncle West was so close 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.080 to Jalen and the family all these years, and all 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.800 of those things were launched from the NBA standpoint, meaning 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.800 nobody thought that this was who this kid would be 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:09.959 and that it was only happening. 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.360 They were only signing him to the Knicks. 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:16.480 Because they were taking care of family and Jalen has 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:21.280 made everybody look like idiots. He's made He's put the 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.079 New York Knicks on his back. He's got people talking 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:28.000 about him and within the ranks of the greatest Knicks 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:28.880 of all times. 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.160 And although the Knicks hasn't won a. 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.880 Time the great Knicks that have played like there's been 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:39.800 great Knicks that have played for the team. And when 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.920 you look at what he's done over and over and 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.520 over again. He missed the entire second quarter last night 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.520 and has twenty plus points in the second half to 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:53.200 carry those guys to a win. I mean, it's been incredible. 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.160 To Mark's point, he has some upside for sure, but 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.720 no one believes that he had this much up because 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:04.439 no one, well the Dallas Mavericks would have never let 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:04.960 him walk. 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:06.839 No, they would have got some picks, they would have 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.360 done a sign in trade. This was the best signing 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.640 that we've seen, like a straight up signing since when, 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.760 Like when do players ever just get signed in the 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:15.319 free market? 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:16.400 Doesn't happen anymore. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:22.040 It doesn't happen unless you're Kawhi Leonard Paul George who's 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:23.959 just trying to get back home, right like they were 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.720 trying to get back to Los Angeles. But you don't 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:31.240 really get signings like that. And like I said, it's 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:35.199 not even so much just signing because we've seen big 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.560 guys like Kevin Durant signed with the Warriors, right, like 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:43.079 we've seen Shaquille O'Neill. Like you've seen over the years 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:48.160 star players sign other places. But the thing about Jalen 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.240 is the thing about this signing is again the value 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:51.640 of the. 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.400 Contract is incredible. 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.280 So they got this guy. 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.960 Now here's the thing for Jalen when like he had 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.600 to make all NBA and do these things so that 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.600 he can get the full max extension because if not, 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.960 if he doesn't and I'm not even sure that that's 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.800 how the route works, but Jalen with years of service, 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.280 I don't think he'll be able to sign a max extension. 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.839 And don't fully quote me on that because I could 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.120 be a little off with the rule, but I don't 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.960 think he'll be able to sign a full max extension 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:27.640 unless the Knicks have cap space. 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.160 And if they have cap space, they can use that. 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.320 But because the extensions work on the last number of 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.960 your contracts, so you get a seven and a half 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:39.680 percent raise, I think he's able to get on the 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.679 last number of his contract, that doesn't put him near 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.440 to full max. That's the situation the Knicks are in, 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:49.760 and that's what makes this signing even better than the 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:50.559 player is looking. 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.040 Okay, So now I got another question for you, and 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.360 I think that that's a really important way to set 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.920 the table for my next question, because Dallas didn't know 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.319 what they were giving up, and obviously nobody in the 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.640 league knew he had this much potential, and the Knicks 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.080 obviously knew he had potential, but they were putting him 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.640 alongside Randall and our number three pick at the time, 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:09.360 mid Jay. 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:10.200 I'm sorry RJ. 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:14.760 Barrett. 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:21.080 I never liked the kid. Jesus come on and drove 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:21.720 the basket. 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.080 He would miss layups. You can't miss layups. 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:25.760 So Knicks fans hated RJ. 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.280 Bart We just felt he was a blocker and not committed. 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.080 He didn't feel like he had the conditioning, the heart, 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:36.400 He didn't dry. He didn't fit the dog mode that 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.160 Tibbs and the Knicks fans want. We want dogs on 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.120 our team. We want Mason, we want Oakley, we want Starks, 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.160 we want grit. We want people who play both sides 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:46.800 defense and if there's a scruff. 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:47.120 You know. 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.000 We basically want Oakley Draymond level of players who are 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:51.880 going to fight to the end. This is why when 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:53.520 I met you, I said, you know, like in another 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.120 lifetime you would have been a nick. 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.680 Because the Garden would love you. 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:58.760 Draymond. You know that. 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:00.520 And I don't know how many years you got left 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.040 in the tank, But anyway to get you on my. 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.440 Knicks, you think y'all got better, we'll getting RJ out. 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.240 I absolutely believe RJ was a blocker for our success 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:14.120 one hundred percent, because you got to remember who did 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.040 we get when we got rid of RJ? We got 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:22.480 Ogg and Og is the Tibbs Tibbs player. He'll play, 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.480 He'll play forty forty two, forty eight, whatever number of 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.520 minutes you give him. He'll play defense, he'll set screens, 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.120 and he can score the three. 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:31.400 This is what TIBs wants. 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.000 So this is my next question, how much credit you 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.200 give to this front office because you worked with the 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:40.520 best front office I don't know, in twenty years and 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:44.760 you put together the two best, most beautiful teams since 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.560 you know the the what was it, the seventy. 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:48.960 Three win Bowls, the seventy two win Bowls. 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:49.800 Whatever. 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.400 There's only one team with seventy. 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.200 Three seventy three that year and then seventy two was theirs. 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.080 So let's pause for a second here. They got Og 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.800 the year before we got Heart. We got your guy 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:07.640 al Dante. He was underrated clearly. And then this kid Hartenstein, 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:11.160 who is like I mean, a passing big man with 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.120 the soft touch on the floater. How good is our 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.960 front office? Because we have nobody. I think our highest 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.360 rated draft pick is maybe the sixteenth or seventeenth, you 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.120 know something about going low in the draft and then 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:23.240 as becoming. 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.640 An All Star and a champion. How good is our 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:26.360 front office? 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.280 Because we've now established that we got brunts and for 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:29.960 a steel. 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.320 Now go down the line the four players I just 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:37.080 talked about, Hartenstein, hart Og, and your guy al Dante. 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:38.760 How good is our front office right now? 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.320 I think y'all front office has done great for all 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.280 those for all those things that has happened with y'all 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.760 team that you just named, I think the front office 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.280 has done a great job and putting together a team 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.400 that is just good enough to excite Knicks fans in 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.720 the garden and just good enough to win a couple 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.000 of playoff series and not quite good enough to win 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:00.560 a championship. I think y'all front office has done incredible 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.840 job of that. I'll also tell you another underrated move 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:09.240 at the front office bringing in TIBs, because Tims actually 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.560 fits your like to your point of what you just 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.280 described with the New York Knieds, Tims actually fits what 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:22.240 New York culture is. It's go go, go, hustle, bustle. 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.160 You hit the streets of New York, you're walking to 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.680 this meeting, you're running to that meeting, you're crossing over 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.000 in front of this taxi, like it's go, go, go, 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.200 go go. Josh Hart's playing forty eight minutes, Jalen Brons 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.200 is playing forty six minutes, Dante's playing forty five minutes. 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:36.440 Like that. 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:42.640 He actually fits the New York model like barn. 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.880 Now here's the thing, though, when you start talking about 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:49.600 all of those limpic excuse me, all of those minutes 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:55.400 Oh gianna Noobi hamstring, you know, like it don't always 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:59.320 show up right then, but it shows up and the 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.760 most simpleant times and let and yet kind of the 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.440 worst times, like o Giannobe is probably now out. 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.679 For this series, like that's a big game changer. 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:13.919 And Sam, right, he's probably like, he's probably won't be 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:17.119 back until midway through the next series, and when he 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.879 gets back from now, he probably still won't be right. Like, 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.240 that's gonna take a while to get over because you 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.679 also got to get over that mentally. And so to 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.320 your question, I think the front office has done an 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.879 incredible job, from the coaching staff they've they've put together, 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.600 to the roster that they've put together. But I'm gonna 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.560 tell you this, Coach Izzo used to tell me this 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.000 term all the time, and he used to say, Draymond, 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.480 we have this term in basketball and coaching. 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.920 We have this term in coaching that we like to use. 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.959 And he and you know, when you look around, a 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:50.960 lot of guys really fit into the motive. I'm like, 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:54.639 all right, coach, what's the term? Just good enough to 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:57.400 lose with? And that's what I think the Knicks are. 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:01.119 I think the Knicks are team to watch. I think 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.760 they're hard nose. I think they got guys that compete, 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:05.919 but I don't think they quite. 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:09.800 Have enough to get over the finish line. 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.840 And guess what, it's looking like, there's gonna be a 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:15.920 new champion in the NBA this year, a young champion 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.040 that we've never seen in the NBA before as a 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.119 champion leading a team to a championship that looked like 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.919 it's pretty much gonna happen, because I think Denver's toast, 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.760 and so the only chance that doesn't happen is if 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:32.240 Denver wins again. They don't stand a chance. However, I'm 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:36.119 sorry to tell you, j Cal, I don't quite think 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:37.280 it's the next year. 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:42.000 I don't you know, we don't necessarily think like this 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:42.520 is the year. 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:43.600 The year we've lost. 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.840 We've been down, We've been down basically three starters, four 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.959 starters this year, and we still put up a fifty burger. 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:55.520 Fifty burgers are on the grill without without the Blockness Monster, 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:59.439 Mitch Robinson, without Randall, who's a bulldog and had his 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.359 best season and he seemed to got his head straight 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:04.360 this year and accepted a roll and you know, got 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:08.280 downhill and just made quicker moves because I don't know, 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:10.160 if you saw the Atlanta Series a couple of years ago, 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:11.640 Man the big stage of the Garden, he. 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:13.280 Was it was really bad. 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:13.960 He was bad. 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.360 I mean, this year was his best best performance I'm 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:18.400 kind of bummed about him. 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.320 Uh and so you know, we we're realistic. 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:25.480 It ain't pretty, but it's gritty, and nobody wants to 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.040 face us because you were out there saying, oh, we're 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.000 not getting past the seventy six ers, Joe l embiid, 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:31.919 We got no answer. 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.240 The guy could not. 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:41.879 Move seventy playing on a half of a knee. He 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:47.080 can't move like, come on, but listen, they were going 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:47.560 to beat us. 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.280 Were going to tell you what this is going to 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.040 lead the nixt too. I'll tell you what this is 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:54.840 going to lead the next two. Okay, you just mentioned 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:58.600 the Atlanta Hawks. Okay, and when they beat y'all, and 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:02.800 when they beat y'all in the YEP, that team then 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.359 thought that they had a squad that was ready to compete, 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.120 and they haven't reached near the. 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:10.480 Conference finals since then. 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:15.399 They've barely reached the playoffs since then, because like in 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:18.000 the Eastern Conference, the Eastern Conference week as fuck. 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:20.119 In the Eastern Conference. 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:23.000 You can sometimes get the right matchups, even all the 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:24.760 way up to the conference finals. So I'm gonna tell 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.639 you this, there's a zero percon chance in the NBA, 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:30.360 I mean, excuse me, in the Western Conference that you're 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:32.919 going to get to the conference finals without facing like 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:38.280 a dog gass team, and in the Eastern Conference you 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:43.080 can get to the conference finals Atlanta Hawks with like 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:44.840 playing very mid teams. 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.439 And so that's kind of what y'all are doing right now. 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.800 And I think what this is setting up for y'all 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:53.240 up for is what happened to the Atlanta Hawks three 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:55.880 years ago when they made the conference finals and they 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:59.480 never got back. Another team to give you some perspective 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:02.640 on this, but one second, another team that did this 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:07.160 to give you some perspective on this was the Portland 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:11.399 Truil Blazers years ago when they had Alfaarukaminu, Alan Krabb, 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:14.280 all those guys. They had all those guys, and they 0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:17.439 went to the conference finals and we swept them pretty 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:20.400 much without Steph Curry coming because Steph Curry came back 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:22.960 Game four of the sweep, came off the bench, had 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:25.560 five points or six points the whole game and then 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:32.119 went crazy and overtime. That's and that Portland Trail Blazer 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.639 team they never did anything again. 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:36.200 They however, you know what they did. 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:38.720 They ran off and paid all of those guys because 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:40.800 they thought they had a team that had a chance 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:44.560 and it was a fluke. And so that's what the 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:46.840 Knicks are setting y'all up for right now. And it'll 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.919 be probably another fifteen years of misery that we all 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.880 sit around and laugh at Knicks fans with their delusion 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:53.280 about it. 0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:57.840 You know what happens. 0:21:58.119 --> 0:21:59.200 You know what's gonna happen. 0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:02.639 Now. Everybody wants to play on the big stage. You 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:05.679 said it yourself, you'd love the Garden. It is the mecca. 0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.080 And now we have a high functioning team and our 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:10.439 owner he's busy. 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:12.040 He's busy with his fear. 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:15.760 He's happy. Dolan's happy. He's got music, he got tech, 0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:18.440 he's in Vegas. He got the Eagles, he got you two. 0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:21.359 He's not court side. And you know who we got 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:24.520 court side. We got Oaks, Starks to bush, I mean, 0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:27.680 got to bush, the recipees. But we got everybody, the gts, 0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:29.520 the barber on the south. This we got the Knicks 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.760 dialed in. We have more picks than we could ever use. 0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:35.200 We have more picks, first round picks, second round picks. 0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:36.280 We are stocked. 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:39.119 And you know what, this is the time that a 0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:43.120 great player could be Spider could be somebody else, says 0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:45.480 you know what if I was part of that squad, 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:48.639 I'd be the missing piece, and you know about getting 0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:52.480 the missing piece because you've helped maybe sort of kind 0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:55.920 of you know, no tampering, but you've kind of sort 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.680 of talked to people about, you know, where maybe their 0:22:58.720 --> 0:22:59.359 future lies. 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:03.960 So you think, you think not going down there, going up? 0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:09.320 You think if y'all get Donovan Mitchell, that gets you 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:10.000 all over the hump? 0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:10.920 Is that? 0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:12.439 Is that what you and Nick. 0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:15.560 I'm just talking about getting better every season, which is 0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:17.520 what we've done since Tims has gotten here in the 0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:17.800 front of. 0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:18.960 Here's the problem, Jay Cal. 0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:21.280 You only get so many seasons to be getting better 0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:26.400 and not win until they break it up. So who 0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:31.280 is the guy that you you think or hear and 0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:34.199 before we get out of here, who's the guy that 0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:38.439 you think or you here that is available around the 0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:42.040 league that Knicks fans will want to see come in 0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:46.200 and not only ce come in, but can see past 0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:49.120 the Knicks fans blinder because y'all ain't never won ship 0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:52.640 in a in forty something years, can see past those 0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:56.160 blinders and say, this guy can actually get us over 0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:58.199 the top, not come in and get us to the 0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:00.920 conference finals. Because we're just happy because we're Knicks fans 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:01.640 and we never win. 0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:03.320 Who is the guy? 0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:05.720 I mean? 0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:08.199 I hear people say Spider, I hear them say Michael Bridges. 0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:09.520 I hear a lot of names come up. 0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:09.960 You tell me. 0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:12.000 I mean, you're in the league, and you know we 0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:16.480 had KD go to the New Jersey Nets instead of 0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:18.200 coming to the Knicks. 0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:20.679 I mean, the worst career move in history. 0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:23.359 Not only did he leave the dynasty where he was 0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:27.560 cherished and loved out here, he went to the worst 0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:32.360 franchise like in the league and it was a complete disaster. 0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:36.639 So I mean, are we not a place that player? 0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:37.239 What I mean? 0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:38.040 You know the back general? 0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:41.400 Do players look at the Knicks differently in twenty twenty 0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:44.400 four than they did when KD and other people just said, 0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:45.040 you know what, it's. 0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:46.920 Whack, the owners whacked. Don't go there. 0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:56.840 Be honest, If I'm honest, I think it may be 0:24:56.920 --> 0:25:00.000 a little more intriguing than it was then because people 0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:04.320 there was a time in the NBA where guys weren't 0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:06.840 really looking to go to a Knicks, weren't really looking 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:09.240 to go to the Lakers till Lebron went to the Lakers. 0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:13.960 The Lakers weren't getting any free agents for five six 0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:16.879 year period, right, like where they weren't getting any They 0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:18.720 signed Roy Hibbert in free agency. 0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:21.199 Timoth to be moth guys moscov and. 0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:22.800 Free agency gave him all. 0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:24.200 Right, I love lou All Dang. 0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:26.240 They signed lou All Dang at the tail end of 0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:29.440 his career and gave him money. Like So, there was 0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:32.120 a time where the Lakers couldn't get free agents at all. 0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:34.479 The Knicks couldn't get free agents at all. And I 0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:38.679 think guys were really over playing in the big market, 0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:41.240 like like those like it didn't really matter if you 0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:44.600 went to the big market at that time. Uh you 0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:47.159 know that was around Timpol. George was a free agent, 0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:50.200 Kawhi Leonard was a free agent. Like. You had guys 0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:54.320 that could go to these these two huge market teams 0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:57.879 and they chose not to. And so I don't however, 0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:00.359 I think that has changed now. And Harris, why I 0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:03.400 think it has changed. I think that has changed because 0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:07.320 of social media. I think that has changed because of 0:26:07.480 --> 0:26:13.359 all the other things around basketball, all the business around basketball. 0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:14.640 That is not basketball. 0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:17.760 I think that has changed because guys are now looking 0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:22.000 at these particular organizations in these cities and saying that 0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:24.920 organization that city can help me with X. So if 0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:27.480 I go there, then I'm allowed to I'm able to 0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:30.119 do this. For instance, Lebron James came to La he 0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:34.080 Maverick Rich. They built empires in la in six seven years, right. 0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:37.480 And so I think guys are now starting to look 0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:42.760 at those two teams, in particular Warriors, and you know, 0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:46.120 from a silicon body standpoint, like, I think guys are 0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:49.080 starting to look at these teams now and say, what 0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:51.960 does that city, what does that organization have to offer 0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:55.520 me from a standpoint that is much bigger than basketball. 0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:58.240 And so I don't think you guys will struggle in 0:26:58.240 --> 0:27:01.439 free agency like you have before, because I think you 0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:04.200 can sell those if you got good free agency pitch, 0:27:04.520 --> 0:27:07.520 you can sell those things like if I'm if I'm, 0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:09.920 if I'm you know, if you're the New York Knicks. 0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:13.240 You can take someone like yourself in a meeting and 0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:16.679 say yo, like like you know, like there's just so 0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:19.720 many other things now that you can do. Uh, And 0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:23.439 obviously you have to be very selective and what you 0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:25.880 can do if you take someone like yourself into a pitch, 0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:28.520 because the Knicks aren't just allowed to say, hey, we 0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:31.040 bring you in. You can invest with Jakow. But these 0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:33.959 are the type of people that are our fans, that 0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:34.800 would love to. 0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:38.560 Mention in the stands, and they'll be around after the games. 0:27:38.600 --> 0:27:40.600 You might be able to network, and people are really 0:27:40.640 --> 0:27:44.440 savvy now coming into it. So in my dream scenario, 0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:47.520 we get better. We use these picks wisely. Final two 0:27:47.600 --> 0:27:49.919 questions I have for you. If we have Mitch and Randall? 0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:53.960 Do you think we would make it to the finals? 0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:56.440 And how far will we go? You don't think we're 0:27:56.480 --> 0:27:58.040 going to be Boston. I think it's going to be 0:27:58.040 --> 0:27:59.760 a dog. I think it's going seven games. We'll see 0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:02.640 if Gezaarah or not. And then so that's first, if 0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:04.960 we have Mitch healthy and we have Randall healthy or 0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:07.960 either one, how far we go? And then number two, 0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:10.320 you already told us the worst case scenario, so you 0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:12.880 can get your knicks for clicks. I understand it's a business. 0:28:13.080 --> 0:28:15.200 Everybody rate and subscribe posts in the comments. 0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:17.800 Turn on the alert bells right here. Okay, we got 0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:19.320 that out of the got that out of the way. 0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:21.359 Pfessionalism. 0:28:21.560 --> 0:28:22.600 Best case scenario. 0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:25.560 But when I'm on next year and we're in the 0:28:25.800 --> 0:28:28.600 in the finals finals, not just the Eastern Conference finals. 0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:29.879 Who will we have picked up? 0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:32.080 What is the best case scenario for the next. 0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:35.160 If y'all go to the finals this year? 0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:41.000 M we can. We can do it entire like you. 0:28:41.360 --> 0:28:46.120 I won't even come on the episode. You take, and 0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:48.440 you take and do whatever you want to do with 0:28:48.560 --> 0:28:50.680 it that episode. It could be all Nicks. It could 0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:54.520 be it could be like crushing, like whatever you want 0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:58.720 to do, you and you run with it. If the 0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:00.560 Knicks are in the finals, there's yer road chance the 0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:04.680 Knicks are going to the finals. If y'all had Julius 0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:10.400 and if y'all had Mitchell Robinson, I don't think either 0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:11.400 one of those. 0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:13.880 Guys put you over the top. 0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:16.720 They like, if you got Julius Randalls, if you got 0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:20.160 Mitchell Robinson, neither one of those guys make you better 0:29:20.160 --> 0:29:21.200 than the Boston Celtics. 0:29:21.720 --> 0:29:22.440 I don't think so. 0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:28.960 I also think if you got Julius Randall, and early 0:29:29.080 --> 0:29:33.800 on I actually thought opposite, and Jaln's changed my mind. 0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:36.560 Early on, I thought if y'all had Julius Randall, it 0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:38.880 gave y'all a much better chance because you had that 0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:43.320 second score. And it's that However, the way Jalen is playing, 0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:45.920 I think Julius would actually be in the way. 0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:47.000 Wow. 0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:49.680 See I said that, and people on like Knicks Fan 0:29:49.720 --> 0:29:51.920 TV and everything, they were like giving me tomatoes in 0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:53.880 the chats, and I said, I feel like the offense 0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:54.800 flows much better. 0:29:55.280 --> 0:29:56.840 And I think the ascension. 0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:01.760 Of Brunson has to do with getting Rgie Rgie out. 0:30:01.520 --> 0:30:04.120 And Randall out of the way and they flow better. 0:30:04.160 --> 0:30:05.880 So that means you maybe think we trade him this 0:30:05.920 --> 0:30:08.040 summer and maybe find another piece. 0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:10.800 Well, I don't know if it's necessarily that you have 0:30:10.920 --> 0:30:11.800 to trade him. 0:30:12.960 --> 0:30:18.600 However, the pieces, all of the pieces have to fit right. 0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:22.440 Like you got Josh Hart getting downhill, you got Jylen 0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:27.400 Brunston getting downhill, and then you know even Dante's getting downhill. 0:30:27.960 --> 0:30:31.760 And so if you have Julius on the court, A 0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:35.640 I'm gonna sag off a little more because I'm gonna 0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:38.600 trust that. Yeah, Julius is going to shoot the three, 0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:41.480 but I'm much better being in help position and then 0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:43.640 closing out late and getting a good contestant. He can 0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:46.840 make some threes, right, but like that's not his strong 0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:48.320 the strongest suit of his game. 0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:50.560 Too much iso from him, you know, he every time 0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:52.840 he gets in the playoffs, he defals this ISO game 0:30:52.880 --> 0:30:54.760 instead of the when he catches the ball. 0:30:54.640 --> 0:30:56.680 Making a quick decision like you do. 0:30:57.200 --> 0:30:59.440 I mean, I think like the basketball, there's like his 0:30:59.560 --> 0:31:02.960 fitness is amazing, his skill is obviously unbelievable, but on 0:31:03.000 --> 0:31:05.720 a basketball like Q Basis, he he kind of gets 0:31:05.720 --> 0:31:07.720 into this ISO and it's not what the league's about 0:31:07.800 --> 0:31:09.760 right now, it's just so easy the counter, right. 0:31:09.720 --> 0:31:12.560 No, the ball stops. The ball stops for sure. And 0:31:12.600 --> 0:31:14.520 so if you look at it, and here's how I 0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:16.959 also look at it, Jay call again And it's not 0:31:17.040 --> 0:31:19.160 necessarily that it's like, oh, he needs to be traded. 0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:22.880 But if you look at how well the knicks are flowing, right, 0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:27.000 you got Jalen, you got Dante, you got josh Hart, 0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:30.479 you got og and you got hert and sound right, well, 0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:31.880 you got to pull one of those guys out of 0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:34.400 the lineup to put Julie's in there. Yeah, And so 0:31:34.480 --> 0:31:39.840 which one do you pull out? And quite frankly, all 0:31:39.880 --> 0:31:43.800 of those guys are just named has been extremely vital 0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:46.360 into the success that y'all are having right now. So 0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:48.240 which one of those guys do you pull out? All 0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:50.719 of a sudden heart's not playing forty eight minutes right, Like, 0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:53.400 I actually think him playing forty eight minutes is helping 0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:57.160 y'all now, like in a major way. Now, I don't 0:31:57.160 --> 0:31:59.320 think it's overall good for him in the long term, 0:31:59.360 --> 0:32:01.520 but right now, now, in this moment, it's helped you all. 0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.600 And so when you now with og going down, that's 0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:07.160 where you will like really make a difference, right because 0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:11.080 you have depth. But as far as the way that 0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:13.640 the team has, this team has been flowing for y'all, 0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:17.440 I don't think it flow to say if Julius is 0:32:17.480 --> 0:32:20.800 out there just because of the dynamic that he has, 0:32:20.800 --> 0:32:24.160 not necessarily like the pieces can't go into place, and could. 0:32:24.000 --> 0:32:27.320 You ask him to lead the second unit or would. 0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:28.040 That just not work? 0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:28.640 Well? 0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:31.040 I mean it's a sacrifice. 0:32:31.240 --> 0:32:34.040 Most coaches won't do that, right, Like Steve will do that, 0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:38.280 and you know, but most coaches in the NBA will 0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:42.440 not act an all star to take a role coming 0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:45.960 off the bench because it just it's like it never 0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:48.680 really works. Like we've won championships and all that you've 0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:51.000 seen it work. There's proof and the pudding of it working. 0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:55.200 But like you're going to ask Julius round hey man, 0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:56.880 I want you to come off the bench so ogi 0:32:56.920 --> 0:32:58.920 I know we can start. Julius first thought he never 0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:00.480 been an All Star. I'm an All Star. Well what are 0:33:00.520 --> 0:33:01.400 you talking about? You know? 0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:04.000 And so I don't think that. 0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:08.440 It's just apples to apples, like, oh, he'd be in 0:33:08.480 --> 0:33:10.560 it and we'd be better, like because you're the. 0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:11.520 Same number of minutes. 0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:15.040 Players don't want that because it damages their it damages 0:33:15.080 --> 0:33:18.160 their brand in their next contract, right, exactly, exactly, So 0:33:18.200 --> 0:33:19.400 it's money at the end of the day. 0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:21.640 Absolutely, Jacob, my brother. 0:33:21.880 --> 0:33:26.240 I appreciate you coming on letting people hear this delusion 0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:28.080 of Knicks fan this guy. 0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:31.280 And I appreciate you being in denial and good luck. 0:33:31.320 --> 0:33:33.240 I hope you got a good box of lures and 0:33:33.280 --> 0:33:35.360 I got the right bait lined up for you to 0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:36.840 get those big Marlin. 0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:40.520 I'm rooting for you out there about it's got to 0:33:40.560 --> 0:33:42.800 be tough for you to be watching the playoffs. 0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:44.640 Does it make you crazy to watch it? 0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:47.400 You do not be there, And we'll end on this note. 0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:50.920 I was just telling it makes you crazy. I was just. 0:33:50.880 --> 0:33:56.080 Telling a friend yesterday I said, it's very interesting watching 0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:59.240 these playoffs because all year, I said, all year I 0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:01.920 watched the NBA, and you could kind of see a 0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:05.640 change of guard happening, like you could one hundred percent happening, 0:34:05.960 --> 0:34:08.640 I said, And for me, I think a couple of things. 0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:12.400 I think it's funny. I think it's cool to watch. 0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:15.640 And I was telling him, I feel like the reason 0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:18.160 that I feel like that, that's how I feel about it, 0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:20.200 Like it's funny and it's fun to watch, and like 0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:24.080 it's super dope seeing his young guy because I've been 0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:26.880 a part of the change of guard before, Like, yes, 0:34:26.920 --> 0:34:28.799 I've been in the league and been a part of 0:34:28.840 --> 0:34:32.200 the change of guard, and watching it from that standpoint 0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:36.040 of the change of guard and not watching it from 0:34:36.080 --> 0:34:39.520 this vantage point, it's super dope to kind of see 0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:43.200 both sides of it and actually understand it. However, and 0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:45.880 winning four championships, I'm cool with the change of guard, 0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:48.880 like I'm However, I think there's a lot of guys 0:34:48.920 --> 0:34:51.480 in the league and if you start talking about to 0:34:51.680 --> 0:34:53.040 change of guard, they. 0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:54.720 Ain't really feeling that. 0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:57.640 Yeah, And so I said all of that to say, 0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:00.839 I'm enjoying watching these playoff So I think it's been 0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:04.000 fun to watch. I think, you know, just really sitting 0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:07.240 back spending time with my family. Uh, you know, taking 0:35:07.280 --> 0:35:09.319 it all in with with no dog in the fight 0:35:09.400 --> 0:35:10.040 has been great. 0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:12.279 But we back next year. Jake call I can't do 0:35:12.320 --> 0:35:12.719 this shoe. 0:35:13.640 --> 0:35:15.320 It's just it's wonderful to watch. 0:35:15.960 --> 0:35:18.040 It's been wonderful to be friends with you and to 0:35:18.160 --> 0:35:21.680 watch your career and now this second act here, you know, 0:35:21.840 --> 0:35:22.680 with the new media. 0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:24.680 I mean, you're just so good at what you're doing. 0:35:24.760 --> 0:35:27.040 You bring joy and fun to it, you know, and uh, 0:35:27.400 --> 0:35:30.400 that's just like such a great combination somebody who's having 0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:33.279 the joy and has the skill and then you put 0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:37.160 another access on there that you don't care, you're gonna 0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:39.600 do you that is what makes you so special. 0:35:39.640 --> 0:35:41.719 Don't lose it.

I'll invite myself on the 0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:20.600 show when we're three two versus Boston. We'll have a 0:36:20.600 --> 0:36:25.080 little conversation about your ability to predict with the Knicks, 0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:27.920 which this is something you can improve on as a broadcast. 0:36:28.239 --> 0:36:29.880 I think you got to watch a little more of 0:36:29.920 --> 0:36:32.440 the regular season to get a flavor for how the 0:36:32.520 --> 0:36:36.880 Knicks are playing. We're dogs. It ain't pretty, but it's gritty. 0:36:37.520 --> 0:36:39.560 Well, I'll have you back when when they get those 0:36:39.600 --> 0:36:40.640 gentlemen brooms out. 0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:44.440 Oh, I think that's what. What do you think Pacers 0:36:44.560 --> 0:36:45.759 is going to be a six game series? Do you 0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:46.400 think it's six now? 0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:46.799 No? 0:36:46.920 --> 0:36:48.760 Chances is going six? Five? 0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:49.879 Max five? 0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:50.400 Max? All right? 0:36:50.640 --> 0:36:51.480 Love you brother, all right. 0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:52.800 Love you too, brother. Thank you? 0:36:52.880 --> 0:36:57.840 Oh man, that was fun, great friend of mine. So 0:36:58.000 --> 0:37:00.480 how about this so ja cow and we're going to 0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:04.560 talk about these thunder and Mavericks. J Cale back at 0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:07.520 Oracle way back in the days when I was a benchwarmer, 0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:11.640 Nicks Uh Bogit and David Lee, who was a once 0:37:11.680 --> 0:37:14.200 a Nick. They play in this poker game that I 0:37:14.239 --> 0:37:17.359 play in and it's with j Cal and a bunch 0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:20.600 of other our friends. And this was before A signed 0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:25.200 my first big deal. But b got in the poker game. 0:37:25.239 --> 0:37:28.160 I hadn't even learned how to play poker yet. And 0:37:28.600 --> 0:37:31.960 it's this guy sitting next to our bench like going 0:37:32.360 --> 0:37:37.880 ape shit, like trolling Bogan, trolling David Lee, like going crazy. 0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:40.680 And I'm sitting here like, Yo, this guy is nuts. 0:37:40.680 --> 0:37:43.280 And this was before, like you you know, the NBA 0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:47.359 would kind of really monitored to that. And so he's 0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:50.239 just going crazy on David Lee, crazy on Boga. He's 0:37:50.280 --> 0:37:53.520 crushing them. And then come full circle, they're like, Yo, 0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:56.319 that's our boy, j Cal, huge Knicks fan. So I'm 0:37:56.320 --> 0:37:58.160 happy you all got to see the delusion of the 0:37:58.239 --> 0:38:02.840 Knicks Thunder and the Mavericks one seventeen to ninety five 0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:07.440 on Tuesday. Kyrie twenty points, seven for fourteen from the field, 0:38:07.480 --> 0:38:13.240 three assists. Luca Luca has been struggling nineteen points, nine assists, 0:38:13.800 --> 0:38:16.800 six rebounds, six and nineteen shooting and only one in 0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:20.600 eight for three and who a lot of people believe 0:38:20.680 --> 0:38:25.839 were the MVP snub Shay Gilges Alexander twenty nine, nine 0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:31.480 and nine eight for nineteen eleven for thirteen from the line, Man, 0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:33.640 I know, I told you all I think the Dallas 0:38:33.680 --> 0:38:37.600 Mavericks are winning this series, and they just got mopped. 0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:41.200 And I've spoken to you all about how hard it 0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:43.799 is to win game two when you win game one 0:38:43.880 --> 0:38:46.440 the way that Thunder did they won game one, and 0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:49.280 the worst possible way you can win it for yourself. 0:38:49.320 --> 0:38:52.279 Moving forward in game two, they now going to have 0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:55.520 a very upset Luca, very upset Kyrie, a very upset 0:38:55.560 --> 0:38:57.640 Dallas Mavericks team, and they got to hold that off. 0:38:58.160 --> 0:39:01.520 I still think the Mavericks are ultimately would take this series, 0:39:02.320 --> 0:39:04.719 but I saw something that the Mavericks were doing that 0:39:05.160 --> 0:39:08.960 I think they really need to. I think they really 0:39:09.000 --> 0:39:14.759 need to. I think they really. 0:39:14.520 --> 0:39:19.359 Need to adjust on the offensive end. 0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:22.799 And that is a lot of times Kyrie Irving was 0:39:22.800 --> 0:39:27.000 standing in the corner, Dallas was bringing a guard into 0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:30.560 the ball screen to set the first screen on lou Dort, 0:39:31.320 --> 0:39:34.560 essentially to try to get to switch and off of Luca. 0:39:35.000 --> 0:39:37.120 And then they were bringing in the big. 0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:39.320 And what was happening was the big was all the 0:39:39.360 --> 0:39:42.640 way up at the level water screen. But even more importantly, 0:39:42.719 --> 0:39:46.640 the guard who was supposed to switch the initial wasn't switching. 0:39:46.719 --> 0:39:49.560 He was almost just jumping into a corral and corral 0:39:49.600 --> 0:39:55.560 and Luca and then letting and then letting h lou 0:39:55.640 --> 0:39:58.520 Dort get through. And now Loudort's back into the body 0:39:58.560 --> 0:40:01.000 of Luca. He's closer to the se and you just 0:40:01.040 --> 0:40:03.920 got that big up at the level. Well, then proceeded 0:40:03.920 --> 0:40:06.200 to happen from that point was one of two things. 0:40:06.760 --> 0:40:09.560 They weren't honoring number one. They weren't honoring that first 0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:12.480 guard to say you had Derek Jones sending, you had 0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:16.000 Josh Green sedding. They weren't honoring those guys at all. 0:40:16.040 --> 0:40:18.480 They did not care about those guys setting the screen. 0:40:19.480 --> 0:40:22.320 That was number one. So then what proceeded to happen 0:40:22.480 --> 0:40:25.120 was Luca had no other choice but to hit Gafford 0:40:25.120 --> 0:40:28.320 on the role. Luca had no other choice but to 0:40:28.400 --> 0:40:30.600 hit Derek Lively on the roll. And when he's hitting 0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:35.520 those guys on the roll, excuse me, on the roll 0:40:37.680 --> 0:40:41.200 there Gaffer was just going to the hole trying to finish, 0:40:41.239 --> 0:40:43.680 but he's catching the ball so far out that it 0:40:43.800 --> 0:40:47.120 wasn't the type of finishes that Derek Gaffer was getting. 0:40:47.520 --> 0:40:48.680 Excuse me, Daniel Gaffer. 0:40:48.719 --> 0:40:51.880 When Daniel Gaffer was making thirty three shots in a 0:40:52.000 --> 0:40:54.360 row and we were hearing about this throughout the season 0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:56.879 free fill goal attempts in a row. 0:40:57.160 --> 0:40:59.040 He was getting dunks, he was getting lovet he was 0:40:59.040 --> 0:41:00.680 getting rebound on putbacks. 0:41:01.160 --> 0:41:04.719 Now, so what being up at the level of that 0:41:04.880 --> 0:41:10.440 screen did was it made the pocket higher, meaning Gafferd's 0:41:10.440 --> 0:41:13.480 catching the ball so much further out to where by 0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:17.239 the time he gets to the rim. Okayse's having three 0:41:17.400 --> 0:41:19.759 guys at the rim contested, and although they don't have 0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:22.560 much size, it's a lot of bodies to get through, 0:41:22.600 --> 0:41:25.480 and they're in such great position, that legal guarden position. 0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:28.160 If they just jump up, it didn't really matter how 0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:30.879 much size they had because. 0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:32.560 He was jumping from so far out. 0:41:32.760 --> 0:41:37.279 And so I think number one, if they're going to 0:41:37.280 --> 0:41:39.680 continue to hit Gafford in the pocket that high up, 0:41:40.760 --> 0:41:42.480 Gofford at some point is going to have. 0:41:42.440 --> 0:41:43.760 To look weak side and spray. 0:41:44.320 --> 0:41:47.799 Now and looking weak side and spray, you're spraying to 0:41:48.120 --> 0:41:52.120 Josh Green. This is also where the Mavericks will miss 0:41:52.320 --> 0:41:55.480 Maxi Klabers. Nobody wants to talk about Maxie Klaber being out. 0:41:55.520 --> 0:41:58.279 That's a big loss for Dallas. They're spraying out to 0:41:58.360 --> 0:42:00.359 Josh Green, They're spraying out to Derek j was their 0:42:00.360 --> 0:42:01.399 spraying Jones Junior. 0:42:01.440 --> 0:42:04.359 They're spraying out the PJ Washington. And those guys didn't 0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:06.200 shoot the ball well at all last game. 0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:10.000 So okase he lived with those guys catching and shooting 0:42:10.080 --> 0:42:13.120 and it did not work. It did not work at all. 0:42:13.640 --> 0:42:16.680 Derek Lively, I actually thought was the opposite. He wasn't 0:42:16.680 --> 0:42:19.319 aggressive enough and was only looking for the skip out. 0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:23.440 But with his skip out again, who were you skipping 0:42:23.480 --> 0:42:26.239 it out? Who were skipping it out too? And so 0:42:26.360 --> 0:42:28.640 I think that was really big. And I think if 0:42:28.760 --> 0:42:32.399 Dallas is going to continue to set that screen first 0:42:32.440 --> 0:42:34.160 screen with the guard to try to get the switch, 0:42:34.600 --> 0:42:37.200 the screen has to be set with Kyrie Irving. And 0:42:37.239 --> 0:42:39.520 the reason it has to be set with Kyrie Irving 0:42:40.200 --> 0:42:44.920 is because when Kyrie Irvins slip out in college, when 0:42:44.960 --> 0:42:48.960 Kyrie Irvin slip out in space and they're in coverage, 0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:51.520 Kyrie Irving can now make a play. 0:42:51.680 --> 0:42:53.560 So guess what, they can't stay in coverage. 0:42:53.560 --> 0:42:56.480 They can't corral because if you hit Kyrie with a 0:42:56.520 --> 0:42:59.319 man down, Remember the biggest up the floor already on 0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:02.879 the opposite side, waiting on Luca to come off. So 0:43:03.560 --> 0:43:06.040 and Kyrie Irving, man is there. Now you got Kyrie 0:43:06.040 --> 0:43:09.279 Irvin coming downhill. Forget the other two shooters. You can 0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:12.560 bring all three guys in. Kyrie Irving's finishing over three guys. 0:43:12.600 --> 0:43:16.080 Two guys floater mid range pull up. Kyrie Irving is 0:43:16.080 --> 0:43:18.880 finishing that stuff. And so I think they're gonna have 0:43:18.960 --> 0:43:22.000 to bring Kyrie into more action, more ball screens with 0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:25.520 Luka and Kyrie setting in for each other. Let's see 0:43:25.520 --> 0:43:27.960 how they handle that. Now we got the switch. Now 0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:31.120 you sprint the big into it. Now they're trying to react. 0:43:31.320 --> 0:43:33.279 Now you got lou Dort got to pull in for help. 0:43:33.360 --> 0:43:35.560 Lou Dort's been all over these guys, right, So once 0:43:35.640 --> 0:43:38.320 lou Dort then switches off and he's on Luka or Kyrie, 0:43:38.520 --> 0:43:41.400 he's not helping off those guys. Now you got that 0:43:41.480 --> 0:43:43.360 guy coming off to make the play with the big 0:43:43.440 --> 0:43:45.760 rolling fast because he's came up sprinting. 0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:47.640 Now you can get. 0:43:47.520 --> 0:43:49.480 Into the actions that you want to get into. Now 0:43:49.520 --> 0:43:52.279 you can have Luca making the reads that he can make. 0:43:52.440 --> 0:43:54.600 Now Luca won't be one for eight from three because 0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:57.759 he'll be more in the rhythm and those shots will 0:43:57.760 --> 0:44:01.359 get easier. It'll soften the defense up. And so I 0:44:01.400 --> 0:44:04.040 still think Dallas is winning this game. I mean, excuse me, 0:44:04.080 --> 0:44:07.120 winning this series. Okay, see looked really good. You gotta 0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:09.720 get those guys a lot of credit. But I still 0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:12.880 think I got Dallas taking it. And who's going to 0:44:12.960 --> 0:44:15.120 have to play better and he's kind a down year, 0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:19.239 Tim Hardaway Junior. Tim Hardaway Junior going to have to 0:44:19.239 --> 0:44:20.840 play better. You're going to have to make some shots 0:44:20.840 --> 0:44:22.479 if this team is going to win. Like I said, 0:44:22.560 --> 0:44:29.120 especially without Maxi Klaiber, Tim Hardaway Junior must have a 0:44:29.160 --> 0:44:32.759 game or two in order for them to win this 0:44:32.800 --> 0:44:37.000 series because they need to shooting, They really need, really 0:44:37.040 --> 0:44:43.120 need to shoot in and so Tim, I think Dallas 0:44:43.120 --> 0:44:44.719 has a real chance. 0:44:44.440 --> 0:44:47.399 Of competing to get to the finals. I really do. 0:44:47.920 --> 0:44:52.000 And Tim is going to have to play better, and 0:44:52.080 --> 0:44:55.480 I think Jay Kidd does. They're gonna have to do 0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:58.799 some things to loosen up Luca Moore and not have 0:44:58.960 --> 0:45:02.480 him operating at the at the free throw and I 0:45:02.520 --> 0:45:04.640 also think they're gonna have to speed their pace up 0:45:04.680 --> 0:45:04.960 a bit. 0:45:05.360 --> 0:45:07.720 You speed your pace up. Now the defense isn't getting 0:45:07.719 --> 0:45:08.439 set every time. 0:45:09.000 --> 0:45:11.640 And if lou Dort wants to pick up Luca the 0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:14.680 way he was, start setting that screen up higher. Start 0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:16.840 setting that screen up at half court. You set the 0:45:16.840 --> 0:45:19.240 screen at half court. Now you got Luca coming downhill. 0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:22.520 Let the big and the whole floor opens up. Now 0:45:22.520 --> 0:45:24.960 you got Lou Door chasing the play. Well, guess what 0:45:25.560 --> 0:45:31.040 lucas six six eight, what two and forty pounds, big body. 0:45:31.680 --> 0:45:34.080 Once you get behind, he's gonna put you in jail. 0:45:34.080 --> 0:45:36.120 You're not getting back in front of him. And by 0:45:36.160 --> 0:45:38.520 the way, if you fight to get back in front 0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:41.160 of him, welcome to the world of Jaylen Bruston step 0:45:41.200 --> 0:45:44.400 back because you fighting to recover as opposed to riding 0:45:44.400 --> 0:45:47.239 the hip and so and if you ride Luca hipp 0:45:47.280 --> 0:45:47.880 he's got. 0:45:47.719 --> 0:45:48.440 So much size. 0:45:48.480 --> 0:45:50.359 He just put you on the hip and like see over, 0:45:50.400 --> 0:45:53.000 you get the shot he wants. And so I think 0:45:53.040 --> 0:45:55.000 they're gonna need to play with a little more pace 0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:58.239 as well. Set some higher up screens, free Luca up 0:45:59.640 --> 0:46:01.719 and then also get the ball in Kyrie Irvans hands 0:46:01.760 --> 0:46:05.000 a little more twenty points on seven for fourteen shooting, 0:46:05.040 --> 0:46:07.720 and Luca only took what eighteen shots? 0:46:07.800 --> 0:46:08.520 Nineteen shots? 0:46:09.080 --> 0:46:11.960 Kyrie Irvan needs to attempt more than fourteen shots. So, 0:46:12.560 --> 0:46:15.960 as you all know, I got the Mavericks beating the 0:46:16.000 --> 0:46:20.240 Thunder and I still think it's happening. I'm not getting 0:46:20.400 --> 0:46:23.439 hell bent over a twenty two point loss. It's one oh, 0:46:23.560 --> 0:46:26.799 and that's all that means. Before we get out of here, 0:46:27.000 --> 0:46:30.880 Well take our questions. Joker, third MVP and fourth seasons 0:46:30.880 --> 0:46:35.680 Shade runner up. Do I feel it was the correct decision? 0:46:36.520 --> 0:46:40.719 Here's why. I mean, Joker's great. However, I think the 0:46:40.719 --> 0:46:43.280 way Shae closed the season. He had a great season 0:46:43.320 --> 0:46:45.640 all year, but the way he closed the season, the 0:46:45.680 --> 0:46:47.480 way it came down the stretch of who was going 0:46:47.520 --> 0:46:52.640 to get the number one seed, like the number one 0:46:52.640 --> 0:46:54.640 seed and all that stuff mattered when Joker got the 0:46:54.719 --> 0:46:56.600 number one seed, but now it don't matter when Shake 0:46:56.640 --> 0:46:59.040 get the number one seed. I thought the way the 0:46:59.080 --> 0:47:02.160 season closed out, I'm not necessarily going to say Shay 0:47:02.320 --> 0:47:06.120 should have won. I think it should have been a 0:47:06.160 --> 0:47:06.840 lot closer. 0:47:06.880 --> 0:47:09.960 Though. I think the race should have been a lot closer. 0:47:10.320 --> 0:47:15.040 But a lot of these voters have their mind made 0:47:15.160 --> 0:47:17.120 up far before they should. 0:47:17.640 --> 0:47:19.400 You know, God see it in January like this is 0:47:19.440 --> 0:47:19.960 my MVP. 0:47:20.760 --> 0:47:22.920 Mine's made up too early and it's hard to move 0:47:22.960 --> 0:47:25.120 them off that And I think you know, Shae was 0:47:25.160 --> 0:47:28.040 hit with a case of that and it's unfortunate, but 0:47:28.080 --> 0:47:30.560 he got you know, sha Shaale continue to get better 0:47:30.600 --> 0:47:33.080 as he has in this league and I think his 0:47:33.200 --> 0:47:34.040 time is coming. 0:47:34.480 --> 0:47:36.880 But congrats the Joker, well deserved. 0:47:38.000 --> 0:47:39.839 You know, the work that he continues to put in, 0:47:40.600 --> 0:47:43.160 what he continues to do to opposing defenses every night 0:47:43.800 --> 0:47:47.319 is unmatched and unlike pretty much anything we've ever seen 0:47:47.360 --> 0:47:48.960 in the league at the way he's going to bout 0:47:49.000 --> 0:47:51.400 it from the position that he's doing it. So shout 0:47:51.400 --> 0:47:54.640 out the Joker. Congrats on another one Jackson. Before we 0:47:54.640 --> 0:47:57.120 get out of here, can we get a couple questions please? 0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:03.719 Yes, sir from keV g Z. Has Jalen Brunson become 0:48:03.760 --> 0:48:06.320 the best point guard in the NBA with his performances 0:48:06.360 --> 0:48:07.319 in the playoffs so far? 0:48:08.680 --> 0:48:10.279 Fuck? No, Steph Curry in the NBA? 0:48:10.440 --> 0:48:10.640 Dude? 0:48:10.640 --> 0:48:15.239 Are you crazy? What? Come on? 0:48:15.400 --> 0:48:15.440 No? 0:48:16.760 --> 0:48:19.840 Next? That's ridiculous. Steph Curry still in the NBA is 0:48:19.880 --> 0:48:23.359 still great? Come on? Stop it? 0:48:23.480 --> 0:48:30.080 What from at Savta. Should the Timberwolves be the favorites 0:48:30.120 --> 0:48:30.640 to win it all? 0:48:30.680 --> 0:48:33.440 Right now? Luca Doncis is also a point guard. 0:48:33.360 --> 0:48:35.319 As is Shay Gods Alexander. 0:48:35.320 --> 0:48:39.040 Jesus kidding me, God Lee, what is wrong with these people? 0:48:39.840 --> 0:48:43.560 So go ahead and stay out of gear from at Sava. 0:48:43.960 --> 0:48:46.080 Should the Timberwolves be the favorites to win it all? 0:48:46.120 --> 0:48:47.520 At this point? 0:48:48.040 --> 0:48:49.240 Should they be the favorites? 0:48:49.800 --> 0:48:52.600 What has Boston done wrong to take them off being 0:48:52.640 --> 0:48:56.960 the favorite? It's like, I don't I don't know that 0:48:57.080 --> 0:49:02.120 Boston has done anything wrong to lose their spots as 0:49:02.120 --> 0:49:02.560 the favorite. 0:49:02.560 --> 0:49:04.160 The timber was our plan great. 0:49:06.200 --> 0:49:08.879 But Boston is pretty much doing what everybody expected them 0:49:08.880 --> 0:49:10.040 to do, So I don't know what. 0:49:09.960 --> 0:49:12.040 They did to not be the favorite anymore. 0:49:13.440 --> 0:49:19.360 In saying that, I think, h yeah, I believe in 0:49:20.760 --> 0:49:24.359 I believe the Timberwills should win, But I just don't 0:49:24.400 --> 0:49:26.279 know what all these people in the world are like, Oh, 0:49:26.320 --> 0:49:31.279 Boston is not the favorite. I was never of the 0:49:31.320 --> 0:49:33.600 assumption that Boston was a favorite because I thought we 0:49:33.600 --> 0:49:34.200 were the favorite. 0:49:34.200 --> 0:49:35.600 But that's the story for another day. 0:49:37.239 --> 0:49:40.920 Okay, let's do on the topic of the MVP and 0:49:40.960 --> 0:49:44.200 on the topic of the Celtics from at being x 0:49:44.239 --> 0:49:47.759 pac Is. Has Jason Tatum become underrated? People are discrediting 0:49:47.840 --> 0:49:49.520 him because of all the talent around him. 0:49:50.960 --> 0:49:57.879 Has JT become I don't think he's become underrated. I 0:49:58.040 --> 0:49:58.799 just think. 0:50:00.320 --> 0:50:05.040 When you're in superstar territory, which Jason Tatum is a superstar, 0:50:05.960 --> 0:50:10.600 when you're in superstar territory, there's this imaginary clock that 0:50:10.680 --> 0:50:13.760 people start on you. And once they start the clock, 0:50:14.920 --> 0:50:18.840 you essentially have a certain amount of time to step 0:50:18.880 --> 0:50:21.480 your second foot through the window, like your first foot in, 0:50:21.800 --> 0:50:25.400 like you're halfway in and halfway out the window, and 0:50:25.440 --> 0:50:27.560 then they need you to step your second foot in 0:50:27.560 --> 0:50:27.960 the window. 0:50:28.000 --> 0:50:28.960 And how do you do that? 0:50:29.480 --> 0:50:32.279 Well, Jason's clock started with going to what five or 0:50:32.280 --> 0:50:36.600 six conference finals in the first six seven years of 0:50:36.640 --> 0:50:38.359 his career, and. 0:50:38.360 --> 0:50:39.480 So his clock started. 0:50:40.880 --> 0:50:43.600 And because his clock started on that front, obviously he's 0:50:43.600 --> 0:50:46.319 already a great player, but his clock started on that front. 0:50:46.320 --> 0:50:47.359 And they have not won. 0:50:48.239 --> 0:50:50.799 And so now because they haven't won, what Jason is 0:50:50.880 --> 0:50:55.439 up against is not winning because everybody viewed, oh, this guy, 0:50:55.600 --> 0:50:57.719 they went to the conference finals, he's young, they are 0:50:57.719 --> 0:51:00.680 going to win it, and he hasn't, And so people 0:51:00.680 --> 0:51:04.440 are now holding that against him, and so no, I 0:51:04.440 --> 0:51:07.439 don't think he's underrated. I think everyone thinks very much 0:51:08.520 --> 0:51:12.120 still that Jadson Tatum is who Jason Tatum is. However, 0:51:12.239 --> 0:51:16.719 that imaginary clock that gets to running on people when 0:51:16.760 --> 0:51:19.680 they have success early in the league, ala Devin Booker 0:51:20.600 --> 0:51:23.440 from a scoring standpoint, his clock started running on is 0:51:23.480 --> 0:51:25.040 he going to become a superstar now? 0:51:25.400 --> 0:51:25.600 Right? 0:51:25.920 --> 0:51:29.839 That clock starts running and if you don't step in it, 0:51:29.840 --> 0:51:35.120 it closes. The Memphis Grizzlies clock started running because they 0:51:35.160 --> 0:51:37.879 start barking they were playing against us, We're gonna beat them. 0:51:37.920 --> 0:51:41.359 I'm running up the chimney. The clock started running. They 0:51:41.400 --> 0:51:44.320 haven't stepped into that window. Guess what everybody's on to 0:51:44.880 --> 0:51:47.200 no longer talking about John morn there on that Anthony 0:51:47.280 --> 0:51:50.280 Vers in the Minnesota Timber was when your clock starts, 0:51:50.400 --> 0:51:53.160 you got to step through that window or people are 0:51:53.200 --> 0:51:54.799 on to the next one. And that's what I think 0:51:54.880 --> 0:51:58.239 Jason Tatum is up against. So I don't think he's underrated. 0:51:58.640 --> 0:52:01.360 I think that imaginary colt is getting him right now. 0:52:02.000 --> 0:52:05.799 And unfortunately there's not much you can do about the 0:52:05.840 --> 0:52:11.640 imaginary clock. So in order for Jason to get back, 0:52:11.920 --> 0:52:18.800 what people believed and to get back to being viewed 0:52:18.800 --> 0:52:22.600 as that gotta win the championship. And it's unfortunate and 0:52:22.640 --> 0:52:29.360 it's unfair because it doesn't happen to everybody. But you know, 0:52:30.520 --> 0:52:32.880 life ain't fair, as they say, although I think life 0:52:32.920 --> 0:52:35.520 is very fair and I think everybody end up getting 0:52:35.560 --> 0:52:40.759 what they deserve. Ad that's what they say, so we 0:52:40.840 --> 0:52:44.040 shall see. But that is a rap from this episode 0:52:44.120 --> 0:52:46.799 of The Draymond Green Show. Thank you all for tuning in. 0:52:46.880 --> 0:52:51.640 Thank you JCL for coming to show the supporters of 0:52:51.680 --> 0:52:54.920 the Draymond Green Show how fucking delusional Knicks fans are, 0:52:55.480 --> 0:52:59.640 how satisfied they are with a first round win and 0:52:59.680 --> 0:53:02.319 being up to on the second round, and they'll get 0:53:02.360 --> 0:53:05.320 to the conference finals and act like they won four championships. 0:53:06.080 --> 0:53:08.279 And that is just who the Knicks have been. But 0:53:08.280 --> 0:53:11.440 good luck to them. Till next time, Peace,
