The Colin Coward Podcast 11 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: presented by the Fan Duel Sports Book. Hi, everybody, welcome 12 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: in some summer league in the NBA to talk about 13 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors are champs. My buddy Marcus Thompson 14 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: and I have not talked since they won the title. 15 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: Some basketball topics will throw around. I want to start 16 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: with this that what I'm about to say we all 17 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: know is true to some people. Certain things, the same 18 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: things are more valuable now. I love my car, but 19 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: I have a nine minute drive to work and I 20 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: don't need a lot of space. Because my kids outside 21 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: of my son, have all graduated and they have their 22 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: own rides. I'm not saying I don't love my car, 23 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: but a nine minute drive. I rarely have a big 24 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: grocery run. I don't have kids in the backseat taking 25 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: them to soccer practice. But as you've got four kids, dogs, 26 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: you like to hunt, your kids play soccer, baseball, and 27 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: you've got an hour drive each way in Los Angeles. Man, 28 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: that suv is really really valuable to you. That suv 29 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: to me, it's transportation. Same thing, different values, right. We 30 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: know this to be true. When Rudy Gobert got traded 31 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: to the Tea Wolves, it kind of screwed the market up. 32 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: I mean he went for what like five draft picks 33 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: and four players. But think about it. From the Tea 34 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: Wolves angle. Vikings aren't winning Super Bowls, Twins aren't winning 35 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: the World Series, Minnesota Wild aren't ending up in the 36 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: Stanley Cup. Tea Wolves perennially habitually average. Let's be honest 37 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: about Minnesota sports. Nobody wins. Their last title was having 38 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: the biggest mall in America. It's much easier to sell 39 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: the future when you've been so damn good in the present. 40 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: When have the Tea Wolves been so damn good? I 41 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: think It's easy to sell the future years ago, when 42 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: baseball tickets were seven dollars and NBA tickets were seventeen. 43 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: But the Tea Wolves have new owners Gobert Carl Anthony Towns, 44 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards. I'd pay to watch that they is. The 45 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: future is a much tougher sell today. Baseball's added playoff teams, 46 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: NFL's added playoff teams will probably get an expanded college 47 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: football playoff, NBA's added play in games translation, more teams 48 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Also, sports fans are so optimistic, bordering 49 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: on delusional. If you just make the playoffs and all 50 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: leagues are adding more. If your team does lose, fans 51 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: often blame the officials. They're not going to blame the 52 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: GM just get into the playoffs and Minnesota will, and 53 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: I think the Miami Dolphins will. When Miami makes all 54 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: those moves to get Tyree Hill five draft picks. It 55 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: seems outrageous, but they've been selling the future in Miami 56 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: since Dan Marino left. People in Miami have a beach, 57 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: the heat, a pretty girlfriend, that good options. They don't 58 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: want to talk about the future. They don't want to 59 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: talk about now. You know, I've noticed this throughout sports. 60 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: There used to be so much value on draft picks, 61 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: but I think as analytics has changed the game, we 62 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: have to be honest about draft picks. Belichick's the best 63 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: football coach ever, and he can't draft his way out 64 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: of a brown paper bag. I get the Chiefs letting 65 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: go of Tyreek Hill because their presence so great they 66 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: can assume some draft capital for the future. Miami can 67 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: no longer sell the future if TUA doesn't work and 68 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,119 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill is the best bubble screen receiver in the league, 69 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: if TWA doesn't work, is it another decade trying to 70 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: find the next Dan Marino? Screw the future. Let's roll 71 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: the dice now, Rudy Gobert, Carl Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards. 72 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: Screw the future. We've been selling that forever. This is 73 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: our best team, potentially only in fifty years. You know, 74 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: It's like a four oh one K. Never take from 75 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: the four oh one K. Build for the future. But 76 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: with gas prices at five bucks inflation through the roof, 77 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: nobody gives a rip about their four oh one K. 78 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: They want to pay their bills, they want to go 79 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: to a movie, they want to take their wife out 80 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: like the Rudy Gobert Tyreek Hill moves seem outrageous, but 81 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: increasingly sports is a billion dollar business. We're asking fans 82 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: to pay seventy bucks for baseball tickets good baseball tickets. 83 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: We're asking fans to pay one hundred and seventy bucks 84 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: for good NBA seats or more. They want wins. Now, 85 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: I get the t Wolves, I get the Dolphins draft picks. 86 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: That's for the next generation to worry about. What I'm 87 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: about to say, we know is true. There's always about 88 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: six great quarterbacks in the NFL seventies, eighties, nine's turn 89 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: of the century. Now, I thought it was funny when 90 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: I put out my top ten quarterback list, and I 91 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: saw also that the NFL executive has put out a 92 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: top ten quarterback list, and in both Lamar Jackson was missing. 93 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: I got a lot of pushback, what about Lamar Jackson? Well, 94 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: what about him? Justin Herbert has set NFL records for 95 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: passing in the first two years. Joe Burrow got to 96 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Kyler Murray's a better thrower of the football. 97 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 1: If you had a minute thirty left and you were trailing, 98 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: would you want Derek Carr? Lamar Jackson. Derek Carr leads 99 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: the NFL and fourth quarter comebacks since twenty fourteen. Lamar 100 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: Jackson has often struggled to play from behind. Everybody wants 101 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: their quarterback to be on the list. The truth is, 102 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: I am a huge fan of Lamar Jackson, but you 103 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: have eyes, I have eyes. He's a downhill player. He 104 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: plays better with a league than trailing, and the quarterbacks 105 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: I put on my list play well behind or leading. 106 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: But it's funny about it. We all know it's true. 107 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: There's about six great quarterbacks in the league. Does any 108 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: NFL GM really believe Lamar Jackson, as insanely clever as 109 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: he can be, is one of those quarterbacks. There's a 110 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: narrative on Lamar. He's not as good in the postseason 111 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: as he is in the regular season, and he plays 112 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: better with a lead than he does from behind. And 113 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: in the NFL, unlike college, even if you're on a 114 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: good team, you often play from behind. Look at Mahomes, 115 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: He's played from behind a lot. And that's the Chiefs. 116 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: When Lamar broke into the league, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, 117 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray weren't the quarterbacks they are today. Derek 118 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: Carr hadn't overcome the John Gruden fiasco yet, Let's be honest, 119 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: quarterback over the last three years in the NFL has 120 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: gotten better Lamar last two years really hasn't one of 121 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: my mantras or mottos in this business. I'd rather be 122 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: right than first. I don't consider myself a journalist, although 123 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: I've broken stories and I have sources. But I'm an opinionist, 124 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: a generalist, at least to some level, an entertainer. Sorry, 125 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: that's the way it goes. If you're informative and boring, 126 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: you're out of work. If you're entertaining and semi informative, 127 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: you get a raise from an entertainer. Whatever. But I 128 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: watched the Deshaun Watson reporting. I've seen from various reporters 129 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: that he's going to be suspended anywhere from zero games 130 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: to two games, to four games, to six games, to 131 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: eight games to twelve to the entire season. I don't 132 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: need to call out the reporters. It's called Twitter, you 133 00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: can see it. Let's be honest here. Nobody knows I'm 134 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: in the opinion game. I can guess. I have basic instincts. 135 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: I think he's going to get somewhere from four to six. 136 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: But if you're a reporter, wouldn't you rather get it 137 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: right then try to get it first. Not a single 138 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: person in the American media has a clue how many 139 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 1: games Deshaun Watson is going to be suspended. Sue Robinson 140 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: is the judge speculation. She won't even announce it until 141 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: late next week at the earliest, and even that's without insight. 142 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: Come on, reporters, do a better job. Nobody has a 143 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: legitimate inside track on Deshaun Watson. Now, they may the 144 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: day before it's released. If you cover the Cleveland Browns, 145 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: you're friendly with Andrew Barry, you may get a twelve 146 00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: hour head start. But right now all the reports our 147 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: utter nonsense and guessing. I haven't talked to Marcus Thompson 148 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: since the Warriors won the championship. He's the author of 149 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: k D, a great sports book. I think he's the 150 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: best NBA reporter columnist in the league today. He also 151 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: wrote Golden about Steph Curry. His current book is Dynasties, 152 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: The Ten Goat Teams that Change the NBA Forever. So 153 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: when we talked, we were in the middle of the 154 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: series and there's a lot of anti participation and there 155 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: was anxiety, and then the Warriors were clearly the better 156 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: team the last three games. I try not to be 157 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: a fan. I try to be like a judge overseeing 158 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: a case, and I can be objective, but I've got 159 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: to be honest. I found myself rooting for the Warriors. 160 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: I like the story. I like the Clay story. I 161 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: like the Draymond story. I like Steph winning the MVP. 162 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: When you cover a team and you have relationships and 163 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: you saw how bad they were two years ago, is 164 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: it ever hard not to be a fan? I think 165 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: the fan part. I got the mushies and the warming 166 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: ting leaves from it. Honestly, being in Boston, like it 167 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: felt like when you when I when I come up, 168 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: came up watching basketball. It was magic and bird right, 169 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: and you know we were we were Lakers. It was 170 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: West Coast against against the Celtics, and there was this 171 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: kind of hatred. And then I'm from Oakland, so you 172 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: hear about Bill Russell, right, and it was like it 173 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: felt like I was transported into history ahead of time 174 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: with Steph Curry becoming this like ultra legend inside Boston Garden, right, 175 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: So it's definitely like I don't know how you not 176 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: be a fan of hoop of watching like that level 177 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: of greatness, you know what I'm saying. The chaos and 178 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 1: craziness that is a drunk Celtics crowd like that that 179 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: still was epic. Man, it wasn't like that's fun. And 180 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: then it was definitely like it was fun. It's probably 181 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: the best way I can say it, Like it was 182 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: a lot of fun watch the unfold, witnessing it happened, 183 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: and to the truth is, and I know him well, 184 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: like that meant a lot of stuff, Like watching him 185 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: crying on the court Collin like not like like a 186 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: thug tier. That was an ugly cry, right, that was 187 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: snotting on daddy's shoulder. Right, you can tell that meant 188 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: to him. And so as someone who watched the journey 189 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: the whole way, that was like, hey, yo, this is 190 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: for real, like it really means this, right, So I 191 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: don't know how you not have some kind of warm 192 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: and tingle he's watching that unless you just you know, 193 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: hate the Warriors.

You know, it was interesting, and maybe the 222 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert five pick four player trade screwed the market up, 223 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: but increasingly there's not a huge market for Kevin Durant. 224 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: And you know, I said this the other day, Marcus. 225 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: Where the media, myself included, make a big mistake is 226 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: that we like mobility. Fans really don't. Fans want to 227 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: root and wrap their arms around players. The Cleveland Cavaliers 228 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: this year had the second highest ratings in the league 229 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: with no Lebron the lowest ratings the Brooklyn Nets with 230 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: all the stars. And I said this about Kevin Durant. 231 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: I can like him, but he doesn't allow you to 232 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: put your arms around him. It's hard. Aaron Rodgers has 233 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: this in Green Bay. He never lets you hug him. Yeah, 234 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: And I think some of the market for Kevin Durant 235 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: is that we know he's great, but we don't know 236 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: what he's thinking, and we have to give up so 237 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: much to get him. Like, are you surprised the market? 238 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: I mean, Phoenix now may do a sign and trade 239 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: with the Pacers, meaning they're out of the Kevin Durant market. 240 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: Are you surprised the market is dried up? I'm not 241 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: because like that nothing like happening to give up five 242 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: picks remager if he's thirty four, right, Like, it's like, 243 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: wait a second, this isn't twenty six year old k D. 244 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: And if they're gonna give up that much, now you 245 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: start looking for warts, right, It's like, hey man, I 246 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: really want this. I like it. But once you see 247 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: the price, now, at that point you're thinking the reasons 248 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: not to buy it. And Kevin Durant's got some reasons, right, Like, 249 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: as great as it is, he's got some reasons. I 250 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: do think you're right, though, there's a difference between like 251 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: respects and adoration, right, people respect his game, but how 252 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: like you don't feel this massive I will fight you 253 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: in the streets for his name and his honor, right 254 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: like you feel with some other stars. And I do 255 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: think he has a role in that, right, I do 256 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: think like the movement has a part of it. But 257 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: I also think like he constantly tells people you don't 258 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: know what I'm thinking, You don't know what makes me happy. 259 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: It was like, yo, I kind of don't actually, so 260 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: it's it's hard to like know you know you right, 261 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: his story doesn't get like I think his story is incredible, 262 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: and I don't think he gets told enough like his 263 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: role to this point, it's kind of like whatever, but 264 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: it's really a great story about a dude who made 265 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: it kind of from nothing and use basketball to keep 266 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: himself sane and safe. But you're right, like you gotta 267 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: be able to hug him emotionally, spiritually, you gotta be 268 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: able to be with him. And he spent the last 269 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: you know what five six years telling you why you 270 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: don't have that relationship with him, So I do think 271 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: that's different. Well, and you know, I think I think 272 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: all parties can have some some responsibility that including him, 273 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: but some people though they will I mean, there are 274 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: some players who don't deserve such fans and have them, right, 275 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: like people like Russell Westbrook fans will fight you in 276 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 1: the streets about Russell Westbrook. Right, James Harden fans will 277 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: go in on you. They're finding your address because you 278 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: don't get to talk about James Harden like that. Right. 279 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: I do think there's a there's a price to pay, 280 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: because as great as KD is, he should have that 281 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 1: in DROs right. But something is not connected in that way. Yeah, 282 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: I mean I've moved a lot in my career. The 283 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: downside of mobility is you always kind of feel like 284 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: an outsider. I mean, you're from Oakland, you work at 285 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: Bay right, question, you're an insider. Even at Fox. I 286 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: was local, I was at the ESPN. I'm at Fox. 287 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: Not that they haven't treated me well, but there's people 288 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: that have been working at that shop for thirty five 289 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: forty years. Yeah. But when I walk in, I wish 290 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: it was home. But I understand like a am I home? 291 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: Or am I a visitor? And that makes me respect 292 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: it more. When I walk into Fox, I always feel 293 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 1: like this is not my building, right, Like I can 294 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: be let go my contract runs out, so and that's 295 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: not a knock. It's just when you're mobile, like in 296 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: the Bay Area. You are home covering the right team 297 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: for who Marcus Thompson is. Absolutely this is my seventh 298 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: state I lived in. You're a nomad, you're preventing all 299 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: you ain't a no bad I do. There is like 300 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: bonus points for being situated. I mean we we respect 301 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: drt Navinski's one championship over a few people's like two 302 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 1: or three just because he did it in one place. 303 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: That's right, and that that was a sacrifice. Like Kevin 304 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: Durant may leaving Oklahoma City, He's gonna have to stack 305 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: up enough championships where it's like like how many do 306 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: you need to be more valuable than at one? You 307 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: would have got an Oklahoma City that people thought you 308 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: should have got right there. There is like bonus points, 309 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: bonus adoration, whatever it is. Yeah, if you if you 310 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: sit down in one spot and ride it out. I 311 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: don't even know if that's fair. I feel like if 312 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: I want to go to New York, I can and 313 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: I should be able to and you should love me 314 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: just the same. But Nope, ain't no love for me, 315 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: like like it is in the Bay because you know, 316 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: the dirt is in my skin. You know what I'm saying? Well, listen, 317 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. We watched the Pistons tackle him, Isaiah wouldn't 318 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: shake his hand. We watched the Celtics tackle him. We 319 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: watched the death of his father, we watched the comeback, 320 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: we watched the Flu game, and then we watched the documentary. 321 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: Or he's fighting with his general manager, right. I think 322 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 1: a big part of the Michael Jordan loves. He got 323 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: his ass kicked a lot and he lost a lot personally, professionally, 324 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: makes Michael so much easier to embrace. Like you know, 325 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: I've said this. Um My wife always jokes. She says, 326 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: you have balance, you have a chip on both shoulders, right. 327 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: Like Brady, even though he's great looking, has a model wife. 328 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: He's won a bunch. There's still something about being drafted 329 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: in the sixth round. But I find it incredibly likable. 330 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: With Durant, it got tough in Oklahoma City, he left. 331 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: It got a little uncomfortable in the Bay and he left. 332 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: He's got four years left in Brooklyn. He left, man, 333 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: It's hard to deny when the going gets tough, he 334 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: gets on a plane. That's kind of what a lot 335 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: of fans see Marcus. Oh, no question, and you know 336 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: people don't remember the early years if you don't stay either, 337 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: right like people fair not nobody's talking about out hey man, 338 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City was trashed. And then you want sixty games 339 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: a year with him and took them to the finals, 340 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: right like, people just don't. I don't know if they 341 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: don't have the attention spans or just you lose that 342 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: equity once you leave. But I do I do agree that, 343 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: like yo, we love Jordan because we remember, like Jordan 344 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: was born in rebellion, beefing with the league about wearing 345 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: black socks and the wrong color shoes, right like he 346 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: was a He was a rebel from the beginning. He 347 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: was an underdog from the beginning. Now he became Jordan 348 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: and this huge co following. But those of us who 349 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: will fight you in the streets for him, we were 350 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: the ones who remember where he was getting fined for 351 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: black somps and baggy shorts, right step, the same way, 352 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: right the injuries, the like you know, wasn't supposed to 353 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: be much coming out of Davidson, Like you get to 354 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: keep that credibility that earned a crude adoration when you 355 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: stay home. And I do think when you leave, people 356 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: forget they do forget that Kevin Durant built Oklahoma City 357 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: into something and he dared and he probably could have 358 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: left four years earlier. Like the choice that we wanted 359 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: him to make, he made it the first time he 360 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 1: had to sign an extension, and he's like, remember, I'm 361 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: staying home. I don't want to jump. I'm signing a 362 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: five year ago. I'm staying right here. And and I 363 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: could understand why. In the player's mind, you're like, that 364 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: has earned me the right to leave. I gave you 365 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 1: nine years. Like I did everything I could. That has 366 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: I've earned the right to leave. But that's not how 367 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: fans work. Like at that type of rashing out don't 368 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: work with fans. Fans and like, yo, you dipped on me, 369 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: So all that stuff previously don't count. It doesn't count, right, 370 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: That's that's that's the game, yo, And you know that's 371 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: what old Marfa no Wire said. The game is the game. 372 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: So the Summer League, it's much bigger now than five 373 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: years ago. It's always been fun, but I think in 374 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 1: the slowest time of the sports here, the NBA has 375 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: done a really good job to market it. The NBA 376 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: game is global, there's more people watching it globally. The 377 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: chet Holme Grun story is fascinating to me because there 378 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: are moments on the floor he looks completely overwhelmed, and 379 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: then there are moments on the floor you're like, there's 380 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: a lot of dirt monster, there's a lot of dirt 381 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: Navski here, but better defensively, when you talk to your 382 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: people that you really trust, and they they're not getting quoted, 383 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: it's just talking like guys talking. What do they really 384 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: say about chet Holgren? I want to see how he 385 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: passes his test. He's got one of them bodies that 386 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,959 Speaker 1: make people think, yeah, he's good, but he's soft, right, 387 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: and they're gonna test him, right, they're gonna We saw 388 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: Kenny lofton Junior, like I'm gonna put my shoulder in 389 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: your chest to see if you have the fortitude to 390 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: deal with the NBA. I think they're watching to see, 391 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: like he's got the skill and anybody can develop some 392 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: form of muscle, like I don't think he ever read 393 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: Dwight Howard, but he can he can get stronger, right right, 394 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: The question will be can he handle dudes coming for 395 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: him night at, night in and night out? Will he 396 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: wils Like we seen players who are skilled not be 397 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: able to handle the assaults of NBA players saying, now you, 398 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: I wonder if you are tough, right, Like, that's why 399 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: we love steff right in place, Like, yeah, we just 400 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: picked on them because there's some life skin do from 401 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: the suburbs. Man, let me see how tough you are, 402 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: and then they're like, okay, let's go. They're gonna do 403 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: that with Chet. I do think most people believe if 404 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: he has that in him, then he's gonna be great. 405 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: Like if he's gotten in him to answer back, to 406 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: not get broken by it, to not become weak, to 407 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: not blame other people. But if he's got the mentality 408 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: to say, all right, i'm gonna getting this gym, I'm 409 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: gonna work, and you're not gonna pump me forever. If 410 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: he's got that, then he's gonna be good. If not, 411 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, but they're gonna, oh, they're gonna try him. 412 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: They're gonna comfort his chest because it looks very comfortable. Yeah. 413 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: I just made up a word right there. I'm good 414 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: with it. Okay, So the second Summer League story, to me, 415 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: that's interesting. So I had I had said this about 416 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: two weeks ago, and listen I'm a s castor new information. 417 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: I changed my mind. I said I would go get 418 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: KD if you could steal him. I said, you know, 419 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: James Wiseman Wiggins for k D. It's probably hard enough 420 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: to make it. And then I watched James Wiseman one 421 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: night in Summer League and I'm like, dude, I don't 422 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: know what I don't know. So again, your sources, how 423 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: much will Wiseman play this year? And privately, what do 424 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: they think about him? Because when you watch him in snippets, Marcus, 425 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: you can see the special like it's right out in 426 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: front of you. They're been invested, so they buying a 427 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: large thing like you like, oh did you see him jump? Oh, 428 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna be good for the next fifteen years, right 429 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: like there's a SIPs of but if he ever gets 430 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: it together, we got another star, right Like, there's dat's off, 431 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: like he's guided in him. And it's funny because no 432 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: matter what happens, no matter what happens, no matter how 433 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: much he doesn't play it, that's all it takes. It's 434 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: just to see him on the court a little bit, 435 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: and then you kind of get mesmerized by what's possible 436 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,880 Speaker 1: because he does look like that, right, He does look 437 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: like damn if he ever got it together, that's the 438 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: question is obviously will to get it together. But one 439 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: thing they have is time. They just bought more time 440 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: at when their championship palaty well, you know they can 441 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: talk that mess now. They don't need to win right away, 442 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: and they resigned kvon Looney. So again, if he played 443 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: sixteen minutes a game next year doesn't mean you have 444 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: to play him in the playoffs. They're gonna slow play 445 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: this thing like crazy, because the reason Wiseman is here 446 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: is not for now. They didn't draft him for now. 447 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: They draft him for the post Steph Curry era, which 448 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 1: many probably thought in twenty twenty was gonna end sooner 449 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: than we thought. Right after coming off the twenty nineteen 450 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: season when they lost everybody left, he breaks his hand. 451 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: We hadn't seen step for months, and many people thought, Okay, 452 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: what do you have three years left from staff, it's 453 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: time to start apparent and he comes back looking like 454 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: an MVP. But he was drafted for to carry the 455 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: torch to make Chase Center popping after the fact that 456 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: that plan still looks alive after watching him play, because 457 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: he's seven foot one. He's an athlete. His body's like 458 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: the opposite of chets, right, like his body's ready right now, 459 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: like it's in. He's huge, Colin, you're standing you know, 460 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: the NBA is full of big dudes. Like he's a giant, 461 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: Like he's huge and you could feel it next to him. 462 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: And then he's throwing a silky smooth jumper. Yeah. Yeah, 463 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: you aren't the only one lost in the sauce Scotland. 464 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who are like, hey, watch 465 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: out for this dude. No, dude, I was all in 466 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: on moving Wiseman and I watched that night and I'm like, no, 467 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: can't do it. It's a young man's game, Colin, Like 468 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: I feel you, but like I'm with you too, because 469 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: Katie's Katie, Like, yo, give me that bucket all day. 470 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: That dude's gonna win a championship. If he's you're gonna win. 471 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: You get to Jordan level numbers. If Katie's with stuff again, right, 472 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna run off to three more and now they're 473 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: up there with six. So it's like you do it. 474 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: But this game ain't for old folks. This game is 475 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: for young dudes. Look at people doubt you at thirty 476 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: something KD Kyrie James Harden Westbrook overnight, there's no there's 477 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: no more. I'll tell you once you hit thirty. And 478 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: they're like, I don't know you. Like you like consignment 479 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: you know outfits right, like you are consignment purse, like 480 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,719 Speaker 1: you nice? Like I'll rock you, but I gotta get 481 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: a good price because I'm not paying food price for 482 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: something that's been used. You know what I'm saying that 483 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: that that's that's how it is, Like there's no market 484 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: for Kyrie. Uh and a lot of it is personal. 485 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: Are you shocked at what has happened to Westbrook? Here's 486 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: why I'm not shocked because you kind of saw this 487 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: coming where once he lost his athleticism, he would lose, 488 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: he would lose a chunk of his game. But I 489 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: feel like like the what he's lost has sped past 490 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: what his ability is. Right, he still can do some things, 491 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: but I think playing with Lebron being asked to play 492 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: off the ball like that Laker situation really trumped up 493 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: his war, no question right, like it really it was 494 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: like a blue light, right you can see, Hold on, man, 495 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: you got a lot of stuff on you. Let me stop, 496 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: and I think in other situations you probably don't see 497 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: it as much. Or if he's got the ball in 498 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: his hand, he's ready to make play, like you'll see 499 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: some more of the good and less of the bad. 500 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: I do feel like he's being treated as if somebody 501 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: who can do nothing like that's his market. But that's 502 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: not even his game as much as it is how 503 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: much he's making. Right, it's sporties again, It's like, yeah, 504 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: that's a lot of money for that. But playing in 505 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: that situation, man, I think I think it makes us. 506 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: I think it makes Russell Westbrook look worse than what 507 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: he actually is. Like he can still do something. You 508 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: put him like, you put him on a team like 509 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: we saw in Washington, where he could just cook and yeah, 510 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: he'll make mistakes, he'll shoot a low percentage, but you'll 511 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: see all the great things and what's the rest of 512 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: them do? He just can't do all those things next 513 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: to lebron So all you see is the La twenties 514 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: of the Percist from three right, That's all you see. 515 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: But you put him in a different situation. I think 516 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: he's way better than how we're active. But that's also 517 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: the products you play in La because the spotlight is tough, man, 518 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: you gotta be able to hold up under it. I 519 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: think the blue Light comments classic because that's exactly it. 520 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: You have to watch out for what you wish for 521 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: in life. Like you know in your business, you can 522 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: work for the Akron b and do a great job, 523 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: and then the Washington Post hires you and everybody reads 524 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: you and then they pick apart your work. And I 525 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: think Westbrook off ball is a completely limited player. And 526 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: I also think you know the old saying pride before 527 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: the fall. I think Russell Westbrook is incredibly prideful. Even 528 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: at UCLA. If you remember Marcus, they didn't know what 529 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: they didn't know what to do with him, Like the 530 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: Bruins did not know what to do with him. He 531 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: was just talented. And then he goes to Oklahoma City 532 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: and is blamed for k D leaving Okay. Then he 533 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: goes to Houston and he's blamed for that not working. 534 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: So like I get that he's defensive, and like now 535 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: he's blamed for everything, even though a D isn't in 536 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: shape and it's never available. So right now, I feel 537 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: like he's so prideful that the ship's personal now with him, 538 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: and then you got you know, you got your commentators 539 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: out there making fun of him, and I rip him, 540 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: but there's part of me that has peeled back a 541 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: couple of times, thinking, dude, he's taken. He may not 542 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: be that self aware, but he's taken a beating. He 543 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: has been blamed for every problem, every tax. It's like 544 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,959 Speaker 1: Washington wasn't good before him, and they're not good after him. 545 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: That wasn't a Westbrook issue, you know, I don't know that. 546 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: I think he's still good. I think he's still a 547 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: serviceable player. I wouldn't pay that much money for him. 548 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: I think that's a big problem, like him eating up 549 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: that much of your cap works against him. I just 550 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: it's very uncomfortable to see a dude who's that good 551 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: being treated like some kind of dudes to be played 552 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: a summer league, right, And I appreciate Darvin Hampson. I'm 553 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: happy about this. I would see what we can do. 554 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: I just don't know how he does it with the Lakers, 555 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: whatever it is you need him to do, right, whatever 556 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: the plan is for the post thirties Russell Westbrook, for 557 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: him to ride these next few years, if it's maybe 558 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: the playoff off it's maybe to be more of a 559 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: Flora general. If it's to turn into some kind of 560 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,719 Speaker 1: defensive focus, who are he ain't doing it in LA 561 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: where they just talked him for a year, right, Like 562 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: he ain't gonna be the one to change, Like, hold on, man, 563 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: I'm willing to take the sacrifice for the team. Like, 564 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: look how they like he was. He was the outcast, right, 565 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: he was the guy who was the problem. So I 566 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: feel like he's kind of gotta go somewhere. I feel 567 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: like Russell Westbrook deserves a better ending than this, you 568 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, come on, man, this is 569 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, and I always thought he had his flaws, 570 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: Like there was limits to how great he is, Like 571 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: there were obvious differences between him and some of the 572 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: elite elite players. But come on, that dude was great. 573 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: He's a Hall of Famer and he don't need to 574 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: go out like this man sitting that dude somewhere we 575 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: can see Russell one last time, right, you know, instead 576 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: of like ride out in the saddle of the Lakers rama. 577 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: This week's gold medal performance goes to one NFL team 578 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: who's making a very smart decision with their new franchise quarterback. 579 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: No surprise here. The stories out the Broncos are going 580 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: to tailor their offense around Russell Wilson. With a new 581 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: young offensive head coach and a superstar quarterback, It's exactly 582 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: what Denver should be doing. I wish more teams would 583 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: take care of their star quarterback, keep them happy, gain 584 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: their trust, lean in. Kudos to the Broncos for finessing 585 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: Russ the right way. This week's gold medal performance sponsored 586 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: by Legacy Precious Metals. The stock market's been plumbering, many 587 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: economists predicting it's just the beginning, which could mean tremendous 588 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: losses in your portfolio. Historically, there's been one answer to 589 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: this gold in the two thousand and eight crash when 590 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: the market dipped, gold went up.

It's 596 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: great at LEGACYPM Investments dot com. LEGACYPM Investments dot com 597 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: One of the reasons the Warriors were hard for me 598 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: not to root for is Andrew Wiggins, and so he 599 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: came much a softy man. You love these all these 600 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: little stories. I do. I know he talked tough, but 601 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: the moment a guy got a nice little story. You 602 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: out here, all us in your warm heart, listen Wiggins, 603 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: Canadian parents, Canadians are nice. He's not a dog. He's 604 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: just talented. And I thought it was unbelievable to watch 605 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: him in the playoffs, like he wasn't great after the 606 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: All Star Game and you're like, oh, he's going into 607 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: that kind of Wiggins stuck and then he gets into 608 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I thought it was unbelievable. It's the happiest 609 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: I've ever seen him, and we all know he was 610 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: a trade piece when he got there. What do you 611 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 1: think today, Bob Myers and Steve Kirk because comingas behind him, 612 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: but I don't think they trust cominga situationally yet and 613 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: I don't think it's close. And Draymond is still a catalyst, 614 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: so you start looking at their wing issues. Moses Moody 615 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: is going to eat some minutes, but there's an argument 616 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: to be made. You got to kind of keep him 617 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: around for another year or two, Like he's their most 618 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 1: athletic guy outside of coaminga to me sheer athleticism, sheer twitching. 619 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: What today? What is Wiggins and the Warriors? Wiggins is 620 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: a part of the Warrior's Corps. It's now Stephan Draymond 621 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: play and Andrew Wiggams. It feels like it on top 622 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: of like everything everything we watched, the reality of what 623 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: we just saw, and I don't think I've ever seen 624 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 1: a dude play himself from a bad contract to a 625 00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: good one. Right like before it's playoffs three million, was like, 626 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: I mean he's good. I like him, but that's kind 627 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: of that's too much. He's got to go if that's 628 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: the price. So now it's like, I mean if you 629 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: get him for thirty three, that's a good thing. I mean, 630 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: Bradley Bill just got fifty. So it's like, you know, 631 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 1: Wiggins is twenty six years old. That's the thing. He's 632 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: twenty six. He's twenty six, that's the thing. I think 633 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 1: He's part of the core now, I think and on 634 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: top of everything else, like he is the ambassador for 635 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: if you come to go to State will change your life. 636 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's like you know, it's 637 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: like like an ll J line. You know what I'm saying, 638 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: Come your man ain't ready for you. Come play with me. 639 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: Life change. That's what Andrew Wiggins is the the trophy 640 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: for if you come play our way, we will show 641 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: you how to be champions. Right. If you come by in, 642 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: we will show you. We will change the trajectory of 643 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: your career. And that's that's the message for every free agent, 644 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: for every player who Mike could get more money but 645 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,959 Speaker 1: takes the minimum, like Otto Porter, Gary Payton, they wanted 646 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: to come back so bad right they were they were 647 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: out of Porter was literally thinking, men, should I take 648 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: this middle level? Should I take this minimum? Like it 649 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: was they were thinking about it and no, universe, do 650 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: you pass up five million dollars a year in the NBA. 651 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: But they were thinking about it. Should we stay because 652 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 1: the Warriors have this thing where it's like, yo, you've 653 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: never been anywhere like this.
