1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Just too much lyne and sugarcoating, and when we're bringing

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 1: it to you raw and uncut. I just want to

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: get people in depth, look at you know, at life

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: in general. Yeah, we stamped something, and we stamped for everybody.

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: I think what separates myself and Jack as we've always

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: just kept it real cutting one hundred and that's how

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: we plan on approaching this podcast. All the smoke has

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: officially started. Are you kidding me? Welcome? Trust me, trust

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: the corner. But we're here, man, all the smoke. We

10
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: made it happen. Man, I can't believe. And I'm excited.

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be funn Yeah, you cleaned up. Yeah, Hey

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: we're here. God damn it. Thinking about you might need

13
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: to get a Chapstick endorsement on this show. Okay, yeah

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: we can. Okay, I like here, Well I'll tell you

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: how do we get it? How to start? Man? Smoking?

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Of course, all the smoke. I think that place, my

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: place in the bay right your pace, and we were

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: just smoke when we were talking about you know how

19
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: you brought it up, how Fox and ESPN had been

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: going out, you know, how how how people have been

21
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: loving what you were doing, loving what I was doing.

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: And then it just made sense the fact that we

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: were making everybody show hot. And he was like, you know,

24
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: it'll be dope. We did a show together like that

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: would be dope. You know, I'm done with you, my brother.

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: They can't sense to us. We can speak our mind.

27
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: We were not get in trouble, and you made it happen.

28
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: Everything else is you on showtime. We're here, man shout

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: out showtime from making that happen. You know, we got

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: a little, a little set. As it continues to grow,

31
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: man shout out, this is home. Think one the most

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: incredible murals I've ever seen. We'll get into that little later,

33
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: making it feel like home. You know, this is the

34
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: perfect meal for us, Like as I look at it,

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: like the soundtrack to my life. All the music pectus.

36
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: They all talked to us. You know. I think the

37
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: premise of the show is to keep it real and

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: talk about you know, sports, but also life, culture, things

39
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: that affect us, things that affect our children, our friends,

40
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: our family, the world. And I think that's no you know,

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: better segment than to lead us into it's to the

42
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: China situation right now, which is uh A poorly timed

43
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: tweet where yet to see what the outcome is. But

44
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: the outcomes as far as I've been good. What are

45
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: your thoughts? What the you know with the China situation

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: and Maury and what Lebron said, and then where we

47
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: are presently. But anytime you're facing the a question like that,

48
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 1: regardless what you say, somebody's going to take it wrong.

49
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: Regardless what side you stand on, somebody's gonna take it wrong.

50
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: When you know that you're in front of a camera

51
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: a lot and things are thrown at you, you gotta

52
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: be prepared for things like this. It's hard for anybody

53
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: on the outside looking in to have a the interpretation

54
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: of what Maury and what Lebron meant. What they said right,

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: we all heard it, But you know what I'm saying,

56
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: What do they mean? Right? And like with Lebron, and

57
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: I can say I know Lebron, I don't know Mari.

58
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: I know Lebron, and I know Lebron nine out of

59
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: ten times what that ten out of ten times what

60
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: he's saying is coming from a good place because I

61
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: know he cares about everybody. Just go to school. It's

62
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: a care for from every race in the school. So

63
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: when you confronted with a situation like that, and you're

64
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: not fully educated with everything that's going on, and and

65
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: and and and the time frame of everything. The best

66
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: response that I would give give to the answers, I

67
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: love everybody. That's it. I don't know, you know what

68
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's no way that anybody could answer that

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: question the right way, you know what I'm saying, but

70
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: saying I love everybody and being and trying to be

71
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: nutuous possible because all of us on the outside looking in,

72
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: I think, you know, to the common fan, I don't

73
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: think they understand me. You never want to sacrifice from

74
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: morals and who you are, what you stand for, what

75
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: this country stands for. You know, for money. And I

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: think obviously the financial aspect of this is the elephant

77
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: in the room, so to speak. It's it's the most

78
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: important um thing that people kind of have to understand

79
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: is how much money China brings in as a whole

80
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: to the NBA and how many fans are the biggest

81
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: growing market. I want to say, if I'm not mistaken,

82
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: I heard that there was more fans NBA fans in

83
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: China than people in the in America. It's crazy, insane.

84
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: I think it's more people playing basketball, actually playing basketball.

85
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: Believe it. Then it's more people playing basketball there. I

86
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: believe there's people here, you know, and as players. I

87
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: was fortunate enough to go there two or three times,

88
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: I think, and we go out there to put on

89
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: a show, you know what I mean. We we love

90
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: the support we went uh huh when we was going

91
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: to Yeah, we love the support and and and and

92
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: what everyone is about and uh just how much they've

93
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: educated themselves and and they've grown our game. I mean,

94
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: you've got to realize I think that, you know, the

95
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: influx and in China being a part of the NBA

96
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: as the reason why contracts are so today. I mean,

97
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: that's my players are making what they're making, and they're

98
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,559
Speaker 1: they're taking some China trips to uh promote the about

99
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: their brands and whatever they're doing. You know. So you know,

100
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: when you touch on this, I press he think that no.

101
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: Players shouldn't have talked. You don't hurt yourself by saying

102
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: no comments. Yeah, you know, there was nothing I didn't

103
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: see a win, win or any kind of winning circumstances

104
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: for for Lebron even speaking, you know, and for him

105
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: who's been kind of the voice of players, you know,

106
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: not only in the NBA but overall of just being

107
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: so outspoken on everything he's been, um, you know, outspoken

108
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: on and stuff. He believes in what he's about. Like

109
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: he said, I don't know him as well as you do,

110
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: but I just know he he means well, he's a

111
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: good dude. Um. You know, some people took it as

112
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: he was protecting his money so to speak with what

113
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: what he came out and said, and to be honest

114
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: with you, I understand that side of it because like

115
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: I said, again, people don't understand that the long term

116
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: play and the business side, you know, and you and

117
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: he could take heat for okay, well you know you're

118
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: so outspoken in America about stuff, and then you're you're

119
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: somewhat bashing Mori and what Maria is standing up for.

120
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: You know. Basically, I think row on agreeances is you know,

121
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: for for for some of the points are arguing, like

122
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: we understand where we're pro people. You know, you want

123
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: to see the best for everybody and everyone have a

124
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: fair chance. So I think that's kind of where Mori

125
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: was coming from. It was just a bad timing to

126
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: which I understand. And even if you felt that way.

127
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just something you hold onto And I mean,

128
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: that's hard for us to say because we speak with

129
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: other facts on our mind. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like,

130
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: but like you say, it's it's a it's a double ashwood,

131
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: because how could Lebron come out and say, Okay, I'm

132
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: gonna say something that's gonna affect how I take care

133
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: of my family. That would be idiotic to him because

134
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: nobody else is gonna give him the money he needs

135
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: if he got broken his investments fall, so he has

136
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: the right to protect that investment. But then you can

137
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: have people on the other side saying, so businesses, so

138
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: businesses and money is more important to people, you know

139
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: what I mean. So you you know the correct answer,

140
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: I love everybody. You love everybody, you know, But that's

141
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: the only answer that that you could go with it

142
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: with with a question like that, I love everybody, right,

143
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: you know. So it's really it's it's a black eye

144
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: right now for sports. But I think it's bigger than

145
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 1: I think it's bigger than basketball now. I think this

146
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: may have been overheightened because of you know, the political

147
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: climate we're in, and you know the trade talks to

148
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: the exchanges between China United States. So that's why I

149
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: really feel this whole thing is above basketball now. You know,

150
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: it's something that's going to have to be you know,

151
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: handled by the leaders of these countries. But I think

152
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: someone else, you know, that kind of can also be

153
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: instrumental in, um kind of helping put this fire out

154
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: is the Tasai family. The family that just took over

155
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: the nets first family from uh, you know, China to

156
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: own a professional team in the NBA. And I got

157
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: a chance to meet them, meet the family, um and

158
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: and they invest in a business that I have just

159
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: a great, great bunch of people. And you know, I

160
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: really you know, they sought me out. They I went

161
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: out to San Diego last year to kind of help

162
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: them strategize because they really I don't want to give

163
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: them that's a facelift, so to speak, and really get

164
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: their players, um intertwined with the China market, you know

165
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: what I mean, because they understand coming from there, how

166
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: huge that market is and what it basis. So they,

167
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, they wanted to put a game plan for

168
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: their players to get out there and uh be more

169
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: visible out there. And UM, I think this is this

170
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: is a family that could possibly help put the fire

171
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: out because you know they understand both sides. They're here

172
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: now as as an NBA owner and um, you know,

173
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: hopefully they can help, you know, bring this resolution. I

174
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: think obviously what time helps everything. I think it's really

175
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: bigger than basketball at this point. And you know, the

176
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: best thing would be for you know, it kind of

177
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: just players to leave it alone. You know, and at

178
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 1: the end of the days, everything is just a conversation,

179
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, like one thing about how we're gonna separate

180
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: ourselves from any other shows that we understand as men.

181
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: We can have a million discussions, but the respect never

182
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: changes if we disgree, you know what I mean. And

183
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 1: that's a big problem with this world. We feel like

184
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: we have to agree on every fucking thing. Like everything

185
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: is a conversation, and that the true meaning of respect

186
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: is that when you can disagree with somebody on the

187
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: topic and respect what they're saying, but disagree, you know

188
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and to when we can come to

189
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: that point, that will be able to fix a lot

190
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: of things. It's gonna be interesting to see how it

191
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: plays out, you know, like I said, with the season

192
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: right around the corner, and um, the effect of of

193
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: of the market. Like I said, I think the thing

194
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: that will be affecting most obviously is the financial aspect

195
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: of the game, you know, with with with trying to

196
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: really buying in and and I want to say, they

197
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: just pay one point five billion with a ten cent

198
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: ten cent uh to to stream NBA games out there. Uh,

199
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So this puts a This

200
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: puts a there's a lot of money at stake here.

201
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: And I already said they're not streaming the Rockets, anything

202
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: from the Rockets. Yeah, one point five billion dollars streaming

203
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: deal with the NBA. And um, you know, like I said,

204
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: if it puts a lot of things in jeopardy. Um,

205
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: like I said, normally you wouldn't want to sacrifice. Uh,

206
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: you know what you stand for, principles, morals, all that

207
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: kind of situation. But this is, like I said, I'm

208
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: even even discussing it right now. You like you get

209
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: stuck between a rock and a hard place. But I

210
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: know the business of basketball and the business of the NBA,

211
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: and what makes our game great the platform we have

212
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: to speak and freely and and and and stand behind

213
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: the things we want to the things we don't want to.

214
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: But like I said that, you know, the it's out

215
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: there now, it's said, and really, as a you know,

216
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: there's no there's nothing to be gained from anyone else

217
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: really talking about it. You know, hopefully things can can

218
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: can die down and we come to some sort of

219
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: resolution because at the end of the day with you know,

220
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: as players, we wanted to put on a show for

221
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: our fans, and I think the fans appreciate that and

222
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: love that for I love us for that and want

223
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: to continue to support us. So don't fall for debate.

224
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean, act somebody who really know what's going on

225
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: as as in the trenches, you know what I mean,

226
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: that's involved in it. Don't ask Mario. Nobody that's seen

227
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: the media is good. Don't fall for debate. I'm not

228
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: gonna ask somebody who winn't broke on how to save money,

229
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: Like ask people who can give you an educated question,

230
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: I mean educated answer on the question, and don't be

231
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: and if you've been around the meeting long enough, you

232
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: should be ready for ship like that, Like don't just

233
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: blurt it out point blank. And now to save a

234
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: lot of the bullshit we talking about now, time and place,

235
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: everything is timing. The NBA season is right around the corner.

236
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: To me, this is uh. This season has the most

237
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: parody I think we've seen in a long time. It's

238
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: been a war party. Hold on, now, you know I

239
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: don't care. We don't country out what this parrot explained.

240
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: Give me a definition. I can't give you the complete definition,

241
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: but I think it's a level playing field. You can't

242
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: be using too many big words. It's me talking to

243
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm not just yeah, just bounce off your teeth in

244
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: your forehead. But I'm gonna give you something once in

245
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: a while, and then I'll give you what I think

246
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: the word means. That don't even mean the same. You

247
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: can help me understand though, I got you. But like

248
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: I said, I just think you know, the Warriors have

249
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: their dynasty run. Uh, Katie gets hurt, Katie leaves play,

250
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: gets hurt. Where does that leave them? Uh? Lebron and

251
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: a d best to some of the league. Yeah, I mean,

252
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: the sky's the limit for them. I don't see anybody

253
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: beating them. If they can stay healthy and the supporting

254
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: Cats do what they're supposed to do. It's it's exciting, man.

255
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: But then again, as I say that, the best defensive

256
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: team in the league that I see. They're in the

257
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: same building Clippers, and I can't I can't just count

258
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: them out. So this is an exciting season. Does Russ

259
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: Does Russ work with James? I think so? I think

260
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: so to think so too. What does what does Mike

261
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: Conley bring to to to the back court of Utah?

262
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell can be h a stronger version of d

263
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: Wade Can. That's a good card. Like that shooting guard.

264
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: He can score down where about making plays? That's gonna

265
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: be special. Pelicans, they're gonna be entertaining, But I don't

266
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: know about winning too much. They're gonna be entertaining. I

267
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: disagree with you because I think they have a good

268
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 1: mix of young players, veterans and role players, you know

269
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: what I mean. And I think the fact that they

270
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: play hard as than motherfucker Alvin Gentry has that up

271
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: and down style and pace, and they have, like they

272
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: have really talented players. So you know, obviously the West

273
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: is the West is going to be the West. You know,

274
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: Sacramento is also good. I think Dallas, Dallas with the

275
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, with with their Luca and uh what's his

276
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: name man, the Unicorn, the Unicorn. I forgot his name,

277
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: Zingis Porzingis. He's a stone cold killer. So, I mean

278
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: they I like them too together. I think they're on

279
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: the outside looking and I think they're one piece from

280
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: being in that Western Conference mix. I think they have

281
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: that piece. I think it's gonna be a good year

282
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: for Steph Curb, for Steph Curry. Steph Curry think he's

283
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a good year for him. I like that

284
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: he's he stepped out I think he really stepped into

285
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: his own during the playoffs. He got his money up,

286
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: got married. Yeah, going down Steph Curry. It's a lot

287
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: of pressure. Excuse me, that's a lot of pressure out

288
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: of a lot of pressure. The thing that I I

289
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: love the Lakers because I've been critical of of Lakers

290
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: management with the the bacole and the Magic Johnson stuff

291
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: and who's in charge, who's calling the shots? But they

292
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: put it. They put a hell of a roster together.

293
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah they did. I mean they know, telling what rules

294
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: they broke, all the ship they had to do to

295
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: get to this point. I mean, look, you know Lebron

296
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: turned his back on his team and all kind of

297
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: ship happened last year with the Lakers. You know, to

298
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: get to this point. So they made a lot of

299
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: sacrifice and they stirred up the pot a lot just

300
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: to get a D. They kind of like forced it.

301
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: But then't want what I'm saying with that saying you

302
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: have them, You know you have them, top team in

303
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: the West, don't you? Yes? Because after Davis is Tim

304
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: Duncan on steroids. To me, if Tim Duncan was athletic,

305
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: he would be Athony Davis, someone you play with his

306
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: best power for however, my favorite, the best team, and

307
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: I played with you know what I mean? You was

308
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: all right, but you wasn't Tim Duncan, right, But Tim

309
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: was special. But a he can shoot threes. He he's

310
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: way more athletic to him if he could stay healthy

311
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: with Lebron being who he is. With Lebron been having

312
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: opportunities to come off the bar and let Rondo facilitates

313
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: the offense, and they both played pick a row with

314
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: a D M Lebron, it can be special, man. I

315
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: just want to know what the supporting cast is gonna do.

316
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: They got the coaches. J Kidd is a great coach

317
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: to have over there to talk to those guys when

318
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: they get to Oregon, and acting like little girls and

319
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: ship like that. He also got They got Lionel Hollins,

320
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: don't they They gotta. They got a good staff, experience coaches,

321
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: and then they got experienced role players though too. You know,

322
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: Danny Green is as a as a as a champion,

323
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: two time champion. They got JaVale McGee. I think the

324
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: White Howard has this is his last chance, and I

325
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: think he knows that, so I think he's gonna come

326
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: out really focused. The person I'm really interested in seeing

327
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: if he can bounce back is Avery Bradley, because he

328
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: could be a huge part if you think about stop

329
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: if you think about that Boston Avery Bradley, where he

330
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: was a stopper, but he was also knocking down and

331
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: taking big shots, you know what I mean. And I

332
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: think the last few years with the Clippers being injured

333
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: and in and out of the rotation, you know, people

334
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: forgot about him. But I think he could be a

335
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: big piece. You know, it has to be that stopper though,

336
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: because they playing defense kusm. I think cous you know,

337
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: Cus is kind of like a little brother to me,

338
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: and I told him that's kind of the next step

339
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: in his game. I think the next step in his

340
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: game is really taken on that defensive challenge being that

341
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: six nine uh is he six nine big? He's bigger

342
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: than me. Wow long too, but you know, have that

343
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: Paul George mentality where you go both ways because he's

344
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: talented enough to do that. So I think that's gonna

345
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: be a big step. But I like the Lakers, but

346
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: to me deepens within championships. The Clippers. They Clippers. The

347
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: Clippers have a team. That Clippers have a team that

348
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: had bought in last year, completely bought, and they didn't

349
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: really have a superstar, but they had a bunch of talent.

350
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: They had a lot of talent, and everybody knew their roles.

351
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: And that's you know, I think that's a big shout

352
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: out to Doc because that's one thing I took from Doc,

353
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: uh from playing with Doc was he was, you know,

354
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: big on know your role. You know, everyone has a role.

355
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: Be a star in your role for your role. And

356
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: I think that's definitely what that Clipper team did. The

357
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: unique because the Clipper team is the only team that

358
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: can dominate them be a in that same team. You

359
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: can take them to the Indie Parker United States and

360
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: they won't back down. You know what I mean. It's

361
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: one of those teams. They got it all. It just

362
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: depends on how they jail. Health. Of course, I think

363
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: health is more than how they jail. I think they

364
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: will jail because to me, you add Paul George in

365
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: in Kauai and they're too selfless superstars, too selfless, two

366
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: way players, you know what I mean. Guys don't don't

367
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: say much. They just go out there and play hard.

368
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: And that's with that team. That's that's kind of a

369
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: blue collar, hard working contress, Patrick Belly, all the type

370
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: of guys. A team they each other mo heartless. Like

371
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: they got a real talented team, Zoo Box, you know

372
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: who they they pretty much got for nothing. Um. But

373
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: to me, I really liked the clip. Like I said,

374
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: DOCA is they have Doc back being just the head

375
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: coach and that's what he's great at. You know, when

376
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: I was with the Clippers and things got a little dicey,

377
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: Doc had a lot of different hats he was wearing,

378
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: so you know, the ship on the court, you know,

379
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: we had a little bit of slippets there. But Doc

380
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: is back being one of the elite coaches management, you know,

381
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: with Jerry West, consulting and Lawrence Frank was a big

382
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: the GM it's huge, and then and then and then

383
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, and then then Bomber. Bomber, one of the

384
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: best owners in sports, is all team and building him

385
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: a new arena with his money and what is life?

386
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: I gotta be life on something that's just his life. Man.

387
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: He wakes up, he's he's his energy is incredible. But

388
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: shout to him though I love his energy. Well, I

389
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: think what's what's gonna be big about this year is

390
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: there's been so much movement and you know, in free

391
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: agency and big draft picks, they're gonna be able to

392
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: make an impact this year. The biggest thing that people

393
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: don't understand this team is always the good on paper.

394
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: You know, you can have a hell of a name,

395
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, roster on paper, but chemistry is what sets

396
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: teams apart. And and me playing on some pretty special teams,

397
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: that chemistry was incredible. I saw that. Um, so you

398
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: know that's what, like I said, that's what kind of

399
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: can the Lakers get their chemistry? Right? I think the

400
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: Clippers can because they're adding two different kinds of players,

401
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, But that of the same mindset,

402
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: same go. You know, Mike Conley is someone that doesn't

403
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He comes in and does

404
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: his job. So, like I said, there's a lot of

405
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: movement with guys that came into situations that I think

406
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: chemistry is is going to be the key for their success.

407
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: Chemistry is a big part. I remember one night when

408
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: I left going to State and went to Charlotte. They

409
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: had I was the only person to come to this team.

410
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: I was able to get to the playoffs the first

411
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: year there and get swept by y'all is then we

412
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: beat the breaks off you guys in the first round.

413
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: Jamir had nineteen points in the first quarter the first

414
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: three games, and Dwight was everything. God how good the

415
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: White was. Man, It's crazy because so when I was

416
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: playing with dwighte in Orlando in two thousand nine, he

417
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: was the leading vote getter in the in the NBA,

418
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: with Lebron, with Kobe, with k D with you name him. Look,

419
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: the White was the number one vote getter. And when

420
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: I tell you like a healthy or the White, no question,

421
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: But there wasn't a more active move your feet, block shots, rebound,

422
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: hold down that paint guy I played with. You know,

423
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: I I played. I got Shock on the back end

424
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: of his career, but Shock dominated the paint underdefensive end

425
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: like that as well. But the White was fucking incredible.

426
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: If he can show a sign of that this ship,

427
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: that'll be great. But to touch back on chemistry, I

428
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: think that that's important because, like I said, I got

429
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: to that team in the first year, and when you

430
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: put yourself in a position where you're playing for your teammates,

431
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: when you put yourself in the position where you put

432
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: your personal gain second, you know, and everything is about

433
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: buying it for the team. That's when the chemistry comes together.

434
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: But I've seen teams with all the talent in the world,

435
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: guys have their personal games. One guy don't like this

436
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: guy because I addressed they have no chemistry. But they

437
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: have all the have all the talent in the world,

438
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: but the chemistry is keeping them from being great. That

439
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: means everything. I mean when we went to go when

440
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: I came to go to State, you know, I was

441
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: I was suspended the first seven games, but when I

442
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: got to play, it just it just jailed. Because we

443
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: all were journeymen, you know, we we all had a

444
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: lot to prove. We all had bounced around, but we

445
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: all knew, Hey, Mothercker say we can play, but we

446
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: know we can play, you know what I mean. And

447
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: that chemistry playing for each other, knowing that we had,

448
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: we was able to do something special. And knowing that

449
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: I that I fussed with everybody on team. Everybody was

450
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: my brothers. You know, that chemistry a long That's the

451
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: reason why he was able to make history. There's no question.

452
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean chemistry. I've I've been on you know, that

453
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: Clipper team can arguably say probably, uh a huge disappointment.

454
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: When I look back now now that I'm you know,

455
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: finally done playing, I can look back on my career

456
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: and I say, what a wasted um opportunity I had.

457
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: Everything we had the starting five is crazy, and then

458
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: we even had a in our bench was crazy, you

459
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And I think that's perfect world.

460
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: You know when you saw on the chemistry on the court,

461
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: chemistry clicking, it was you know, we created you know,

462
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: a live city, the best show on TV, and and

463
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: we were the team that was beating the Warriors right

464
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: up until they started their dynasty, you know what I mean.

465
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: But I think the one thing that got in the

466
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: way was it was off the court chemistry, I think

467
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: we were you know, we were head butting each other.

468
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 1: You know, there was little beefs and risks within the

469
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: team and you know, risk between players and coaches. And

470
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: I only argument we haven't at the games is who

471
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: house we smoking? In this house? Are we smoking that?

472
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: That's the argument we have and what are we eating? Exactly?

473
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: Because but but but Park was with us and shout

474
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: out Baron Davison. Um. But then you know, for me

475
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: to go from that team where we should have definitely

476
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: won a championship, and then my last year when I

477
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: got a chance to play with Golden State, where you

478
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: bring Kadie and and and you have Clay, and you

479
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 1: have Steph and Draymond and Iquadala, Sean Liviston, David West,

480
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: everyone just that the egos didn't matter. Everyone left their

481
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: egos at the door and really was what what was

482
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: best for the team was, and that was what was

483
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: best for each individual. You know, like I said, their

484
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: ultimate goal was to win. You know, everyone had to

485
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: take a step back, including k D. You know, Steph

486
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 1: took a step back. Everyone had to kind of take

487
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: a step back for the greater go to the team.

488
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: And they did that and they had a dynasty run,

489
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: you know. So that's why this this chemistry said, there

490
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: was so much move up, you know, action and movement

491
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: in free agency that you know, putting these teams together

492
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: on paper is great, but you gotta have that chemistry

493
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, that stuff that you build in

494
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 1: the preseason and and just hanging around each other on

495
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: and off the court, and and and see if the

496
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: piece is fit buying then you know, like San Antonio,

497
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: people on San Antonio never have just big stars on

498
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: the face of the league, but they're always in the

499
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: thick of things. They're always hanging around because Pop forces players.

500
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: If you're gonna be a part of this Birds organization,

501
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna buy in. You're gonna play a role, and

502
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna do what's best for the team. And that's

503
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: why they always win. That's why they always in the

504
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: stick of things. If you look at the last ten years,

505
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: how many seasons, how many teams have more fifty win seasons?

506
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: Come on, there are plugs and lots about winning. There

507
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: are plug in play systems, you know, similar to the Patriots,

508
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, but let's jump over to the East. That

509
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: to me, the most intriguing team over there is the Sixers.

510
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: You know, to lose a talented player which you know

511
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: very well, Jimmy Butler to Miami to gain a veteran

512
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: ultimate pro and al hair are Al Horford. You know

513
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: they lost jj they got uh who else did they

514
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: pick up here from Miami? Richardson? Uh, they they gave

515
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if he got Max, but they give

516
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: to b Harris a really good contract. You know Ben Simmons,

517
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: he was someone I followed um just actually just talked

518
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: to him recently too, someone I followed all summer via

519
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, Instagram, and he really looked impressive and he

520
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: was out there shooting like he wasn't thinking about it.

521
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: And if he's someone that you know develops just a

522
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: little bit of jumper this that this year and continue

523
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: to build on it, you know, they're a scary team.

524
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: And then not to mention the most talented big in

525
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: the game, you know him and a D. I mean,

526
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: he's a true center. A D is a powerful but

527
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: I'd say it just straight big in the game I

528
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: would take. I would take him over no kitchen and

529
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: and whoever to me and beat is the most talented

530
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: big guy in the game with the part of with

531
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: the Marcus is, uh, you know, bad luck and injuries.

532
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: What you think about them, Who's gonna Who's gonna be

533
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: the player they go to they can go to down

534
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: the stretch during the clutch, that the position that Jimmy

535
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: was in last year. I mean, that's gonna be. That's

536
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: that's the big question for them. But I think for

537
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: them to be successful, they're gonna have to go to

538
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: that spurs Tim Duck and David Robinson just banging inside

539
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: the whole game, throwing inside, play through your big guys. Uh,

540
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: and and try to find out who your shooter is

541
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: gonna be. Because those two gonna Horford and be gonna

542
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: get doubled a lot. You gotta find out who your

543
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: shoot is gonna be. They're gonna be tricky. I mean

544
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: we've seen we've seen him and shoot a lot of jumpers.

545
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: But me as you know, a lot of people can

546
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: make Yeah, come on, a lot of people can make

547
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: jumps in l a fitness and a lot of people

548
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: can make jumpers in the first quarter of the NBA game,

549
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: but can't make them in the fourth. Some of the

550
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: best shooters can make him in the first quarter, can't

551
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: make him in the fourth, So I want to I

552
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: want to see him do it in games. I just

553
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: I really want to see what Milwaukee is gonna do,

554
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, I really want to see what Millwake' is gonna.

555
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: They could be special. And I think losing Brockden was big.

556
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: It was it was big, but they they added something,

557
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: d added something too. Now they could be you know,

558
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: obviously Milwaukee. I think uh Nakopo, you know, being the

559
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: m v P. It's crazy to think that the MVP

560
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: still has more to prove or still to more to

561
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: prove them. But I think he even knows that. You know,

562
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: he was exposed Um on the offensive side of the

563
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: ball once Kauai put them clamps because of Kauai wasn't

564
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: allowing to get his easy his his buckets in the paint.

565
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: So I know he's gonna come out with with the

566
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: vengeance this year. Teams are gonna have to take a

567
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: record to him. You know. Yeah, I like Milwaukee. I

568
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: like Milwaukee a lot. Celtics losing Rhonda Arts, you know,

569
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: winn Leo losing Kyrie Um. You know, this is really

570
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: on the young guys now, you know what I mean?

571
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: You want how they wanted it though, right, Loki, this

572
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: is how they wanted it, There's no quite They wanted

573
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: to rely more on those two young guards, Tatum and Brown.

574
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: They wanted to rely on them to you got you

575
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: got the young poor Garlfers, Charlotte coming in. He's Kimball,

576
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: Kimber is a problem. I want to know how he

577
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: can come into a more facilitating role. You know that

578
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: that's gonna be new for him because he's coming from

579
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: scoring all day long and Charlotte, which they gonna need

580
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: to score a little bit, pick and choose the spots.

581
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: But they really want to see you know what what

582
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: what those other guys who along with Hey, Gordon Haywood, Right,

583
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: Gordon Haywood. I think this is gonna be a good

584
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: year for him. I think I bounced back here because

585
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: people forgot how good he was. And then he showed

586
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: a lot of signs last year too, he showed flashes,

587
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: but the level of injury. You know, it took Paul

588
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: George a good year year and a half to get

589
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: back to you know who he was, and I think

590
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: this will be that year, uh for Gordon Haywood. I

591
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: couldn't imagine that thing hurt And I'm crazy, right, Yeah,

592
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: I'm don't even trying to touch my toes. I can

593
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: imagine breaking my ankle and leg and trying to show. Man,

594
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: let's shouts out to them boys. Man, they bounced back

595
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: and looking better than ever. What do you think about

596
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: the nets? I don't think about him and took Katie

597
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: get back like I love I love DJ I love

598
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: Kyrie like it's gonna be entertaining to watch. But that's

599
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: not what we're gonna That's not the full picture, you

600
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. That's not what we that's not

601
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: the that's not what we're expecting from them. We know

602
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: Katie's coming back in the season, and um, that's what

603
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to see. Obviously, these guys can still

604
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: make some noise. We know they're gonna compete. We know

605
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: Kyrie and and and and and Brooklyn ain't gonna lay down.

606
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I don't have high expectations.

607
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: They got some talent over there where with the Vert

608
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: and den Witty and um, what's the young kid's name

609
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: that came from Baylor Torre and Prince he's a dog

610
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: like they got they got some talent, man, And I

611
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: think obviously they're in the mix too. You know, you

612
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: could talk about, you know, I possibly win in the

613
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: West or Eastern Conference when Katie returns. But right now,

614
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see if you know, who's the

615
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: leader on the team, Kyrie, But I don't. You know,

616
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: Kyrie is saw in Boston that that him being the

617
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: leader didn't really work. It didn't work there, It has

618
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: to work here. I think he took notes obviously and saw,

619
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, he can improve on from a leadership standpoint.

620
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: As soon as he signed with Brooklyn, everybody in the

621
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: organization knew this is Kyrie and Katie c what no

622
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 1: question about it. Everybody has been there that has success

623
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: last year, all that has the best the best player

624
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: doesn't always have to be or it isn't always the

625
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: leader of the team though, you know what I mean?

626
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: Is it is it a then witty you know? Is

627
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: he's someone that they looked to for that leadership. Know,

628
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: Deandre's got years in the league. Now, I think he'll

629
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: be the backbone. DJ be the backbone of the team.

630
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: Ce Dj was an interesting pickup to me with them

631
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: because they had, you know, success with the young center

632
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: that they had before. Katie is gonna be the vocal guy.

633
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: You know, Katie's gonna be the vocal guy. Kyrie is

634
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: going to be the guy to keep him you know,

635
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: in tune on court, he is gonna be the backbone.

636
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: But it's not gonna be what we expect and what

637
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: we want to see until sometimes until snipe. Get back,

638
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: man shout, man, get back, get back soon, man back, Well,

639
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: get back soon, my brother. Let's jump to Golden State

640
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: for the for the first time. Golden State is a

641
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: tricky team for the first time in a long time.

642
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: You know, they're not the favorites, and you know, you

643
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: hear some people even saying that they're not going to

644
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, struggling to make the playoffs. What do

645
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: you think about that? I mean, it's just I love Steph.

646
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: I think Stuff has changed the game. You know, you

647
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: put him in a category with Ai. You know, guys

648
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: who really changed that I really changed the game, you know,

649
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: trend setter. Stuff is in that category definitely. But that

650
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: team is a different team without Clay Thompson. I'm sorry

651
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: people underrate Clay Thompson. They don't speak about him enough.

652
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: Don't give him his props. He's been one of the

653
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: best two way players in the game. Team because we

654
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: are two way players and that's why Clay has my respect.

655
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: Without Clay, it's gonna be difficult. It's tough to say

656
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: without you know, if even losing KD with a healthy Clay,

657
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: if they could have you know, won the game six

658
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: and then going in Toronto and one game seven. You know,

659
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: I definitely think, like you said, Clay is a huge

660
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: piece of that team. There was winning games six and

661
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: Clay was staying healthy, they was winning games. Yeah, I agree.

662
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: So you know, the addition of D'Angelo Russell, you know,

663
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: who was who was an emerging young star UM in

664
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference. UM, someone who can do it all

665
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: on the offensive end. UM. The Warriors are a team

666
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: to me, like I said, I think they're not worried

667
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: about chasing down the top seed in the West. I

668
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: think it's all about being in the thick of things,

669
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: preservation and understanding this is a marathon. They in there.

670
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: You know, they're not favorite, like I said, there that

671
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: they're an underdog for the first time in a long time.

672
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, I think Draymond is going

673
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: to make sure they realize that the entire season and

674
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be something where you know, Clay gets back

675
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: in February March, and I think they're starting to hit

676
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: all cylinders in the March April and gonna be a scary,

677
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: scary first round opponent for whoever. They're younger too, and

678
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: you know Steps the oldest on the team. Yeah at

679
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: what two and where they went young they went with young,

680
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: younger with with Chris from Phoenix. They got in now.

681
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: So the big guys that they need to run it

682
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: to run up and down the court, protect the r

683
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: they're young, they got energy. Marcus Chris is gonna Stein

684
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: are two really good pickups, really good pickups. So I

685
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: see I have them in the thick of things. I

686
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be interesting. Houston, Houston, Man. I see

687
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: that working I mean, I see two guys that love

688
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: playing with each other, that love playing basketball, that love

689
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: working out, both from California, and they're real friends. They're

690
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: exactly like had that kind of friendship on Gold where

691
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: people know, like when you really funk with the dude

692
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: sitting next to you is a different You're really willing

693
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: to sacrifice any and everything for the greater good of

694
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: the situation. And I think they're coming out and saying

695
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: the right thing is obviously the individual accolades, they want

696
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: them all. That ship don't matter no more, you know.

697
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: To me, and what people forget about Houston is they

698
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: just happened to run into a dynasty. They ran into

699
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: the Warriors and they lost travel reason that was huge loss,

700
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: huge laws someone that you know, someone that's not spoken,

701
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: but some of the as players, we knew how important

702
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: he was to that team, and the in the in

703
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: the team knew how important. The players knew on that

704
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: team how important he was. But they played with his

705
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: money and he had to bounce. But like I said,

706
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: they just happened to run into a Golden State, you

707
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So to me, you you you

708
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: move Chris Paul, You bring in Russell rest Brook. Can

709
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: it work? And and I'm with you, I think he

710
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: can add a triple double to James Harden. Yeah it's

711
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: gonna work. But one thing about that, you know, the

712
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,719
Speaker 1: one thing about sacrifice that I realized and playing on

713
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: you know with Golden State, and people wanted to sacrifice

714
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: when you win it? Yes, or what if they hit

715
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: a you know, a tough a tough skined Uh you know,

716
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: James was amazing last year because he brought them out

717
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: of the toilet and and them back because him and

718
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,719
Speaker 1: Chris didn't have the relationship him and jameson when we

719
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: went through when I first came back and go to State,

720
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: we went through a tough little phase last in the season.

721
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: One eight out of twenty one. We jailed. You know

722
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: what I mean, You're gonna have some rough patches. But

723
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: that's when being a real fan, brand a brother you don't.

724
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: You don't, you don't hold on to that ship. You

725
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, you lose the game. Okay, let's

726
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: figure it out. You know saying you depend on your brothers,

727
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: you jail more on the court. You find a way

728
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: to get through it without becoming the counselor or without

729
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: demeaning your teammates and the media and ship like that,

730
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: you find a way interna they're like, we did, you

731
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: know what I mean? But but when you real friends,

732
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: is easier to do that. It's definitely, definitely, I completely agree.

733
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: And that's what, like I said, that goes back to

734
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: that chemistry, you know what I mean, Like that chemistry

735
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: is is key to success, not only in basketball, in

736
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: any sport, and we didn't work out in the summertimes together,

737
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: We didn't meet up and work out. We just knew

738
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: when it came to the season. Time we spent time

739
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: together the season, but I mean in all season, we

740
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: didn't work out, meet up at the gym, let's do this.

741
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: We didn't do that. But because but we knew when

742
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: the season came, it's time to work. And I'm not

743
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm not out of plan for myself. I got seven

744
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: eight guys that I really loved, that I really consider

745
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: my brother that I might up planning for two because

746
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: we're all eating from this ship. So I'm gonna give

747
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: my off of them. And if a lot of a

748
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: lot of guys won't understand that today because they didn't

749
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: grow up in the AU circuit like we did. Are

750
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: you circules different now? You know what I'm saying. We

751
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: had a lot to prove, you know, I remember, you know,

752
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: definitely I wouldn have never played AU. But if it

753
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: wasn't for Josh Pastner, he's actually the coach of Jarge

754
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: of Tech. Right now. A little white kid pulled up

755
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood, put up to the projects and hopped

756
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: out the car while and I had no idea who

757
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: he was. I was actually worried about him because we

758
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: all thought he was the cops. You know, any white

759
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: kid pull up in our neighborhood at that time, you're

760
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: the police. It was the same age with me and

761
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: he pulled pulled up and the white Land cruise are

762
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: remembers like yesterday, and it's like, I want you to

763
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: play on my my AU team. I'm looking at him like, yeah, right,

764
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 1: you gotta AU and we all laugh and I probably

765
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 1: have to blend my hand like you don't have a YouTube,

766
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: I can tell y'all pick I'll come down here and

767
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: pick you up from Houston every day for practice. And

768
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: it changed my life because instead of me hanging out

769
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: on the park smoking weed playing basketball, I was actually

770
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: playing basketball in a positive environment, learning how to play

771
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: the game. I was able to travel, so, you know,

772
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: like and I had to earn that though, you know

773
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: what I'm I had to earn everything. It's different now

774
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: now these kids you can buy your way on the

775
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: AU team. You can buy your way on on on

776
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: on on a big team just to be on, just

777
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: to be seen with other players. That's going somewhere. You're

778
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: not going so it's it's totally different now, you know

779
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: what I mean? But you know, I love the way

780
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: we had to come up and how we had to

781
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: earn everything because if we didn't have the attitude, we

782
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't have beat that one season in the first round.

783
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: There's no question. It's a different mentally different ground. But

784
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: with that said, kids today are talented as fucking skilled

785
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: this for you know what I mean, I didn't know

786
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: my protein shakes in the middle school. I have been

787
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: drinking crew team and all that too. If I don't know,

788
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: But let us is them and still wise, this newer,

789
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: younger generation I think benefited from this YouTube generation is

790
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: really benefited from seeing you know, day to day stuff

791
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: at the palm of their hand and really working on

792
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: their game. But we got off course back to the

793
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: to the unlucky. That real lucky wasn't social media when

794
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: we were playing it. Now, we wouldn't have made it

795
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: four or five years if if the worldvised what a phone?

796
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: So what we know, No way we gotta get we

797
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: gotta get out to a whole we believe segment. We

798
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: gotta make a documentary like or some sh it out

799
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: of that. That sho would be crazy anyway back now,

800
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: let's let's listen. I really liked this team. This is

801
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: a team that is similar to to to Utah O

802
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: give me similar to San Antonio. Just a great system

803
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: head coach Quinn Snyder uh program where people just plug

804
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: in and do and play the right way. And I

805
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: think adding Mike Conley is going to be huge for them,

806
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: a former teammate of mind in Memphis. One of the

807
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: most talented point guards to to never make it all.

808
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: He's never made All Star on thing. Has heinbly ever

809
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: been All start he got he got All Star Game

810
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: and All Star sick money he got that, you know,

811
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: and then and Bob, Bob Donovich. I don't want to

812
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: murder his last name, but I think he's going to

813
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: be a huge pick up, a stretch for um Donovan

814
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: Mitchell is gonna get to be so scary dog. They're

815
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: gonna be a really good It's probably be the scariest team,

816
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: Like like we was talking about earlier, just having him

817
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: to be able to just focus on scoring and being

818
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: a shoot guard at that size, you have one of

819
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: the best point guards with you right now. You don't

820
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: have to even think about making a play. You don't

821
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: have to think about getting a big fellow in this spot.

822
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: All you have to do is think about being a shoeguarden.

823
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: But even with that, I think with that pressure on him,

824
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: that's where he's gonna be able to make more plays

825
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: and more be more creative and is not his like

826
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to stress off. Damn, I gotta make

827
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: a player, do I score? And Mike Conley someone that

828
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: makes plays and scores, you know, I mean, so he

829
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: really has a good running mate right there. Um. You know,

830
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: O'Neil should have a big year, the two time defensive

831
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: Player of the Year and Gobert Um, you is gonna

832
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,720
Speaker 1: be a really scary team. Um this year in the West. Last,

833
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: but not least, the Pelicans. Pelicans are gonna be gonna

834
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,439
Speaker 1: be super entertaining. You're gonna love to watch them, but

835
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: you know they're not going to be there at the

836
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: end of the season when we're talking about championships, not championships.

837
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: But I think they take baby steps. Do you think

838
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: that they're a team that can make the playoffs? They're

839
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: not making the playoffs. Here goes our top eight playoff

840
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: choices in the East. I got the Bucks one, seventies six, Ers,

841
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: two Pacers, three Celtics for Pistons. I like the addition

842
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: to the Joe Johnson's Big Three homie. You know, I

843
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: hope Joe gets a shot. He someone really help him.

844
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: You know, I think Blake Griffin is back to playing

845
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: Blake Griffin. I play with on the Clippers, love with him.

846
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: You know, Drumming is a big fellow homes He's a

847
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: great comedian. By the way, shots funny, Blake is funny.

848
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: Bro Blake is funny. Is we talk about Blake later?

849
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: But anyway, six Orlando Magic. You know, they've consteadily been

850
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: putting a solid team to get our hope. What's the

851
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: young boy's name, the number one pick, markul uh Faults.

852
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: You know, I hope he gets like Gordon a lot.

853
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: You know, they got they got a lot of talent

854
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: over there. Someone they gave you know, Toronto Scaring the

855
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: first friend last year, Miami Heat with your boy, Jimmy Butler,

856
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: I got them at seven. I think if they can

857
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: somehow get a Bradley Beale or or Chris Paul. I

858
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: think that like I put some you know, writing the

859
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: thicker things in the Eastern Conference, and I think last

860
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: but not least the Nets, you know, minus k D.

861
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: I still think they they got enough talent uh to

862
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. I'm gonna go with I got the

863
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: Bucks number one. I think you know, they got the experience,

864
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: they got the coach, and I think they know where

865
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: they slipped up last year. And without having Kauai, I

866
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: don't see nobody really seeing them uh and took Qui

867
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: leaving Toronto. I don't think anybody's seeing the Bucks. I

868
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: got the seven sixes or two uh. If they can

869
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: create that David Robinson tim Nugge style to played there

870
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: with having those dominant big man and Ben Simonsons, they're

871
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 1: shooting the jump like he was shooting the summer, They're

872
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: gonna be real Garrea. They can easily slide to the

873
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: number one in these Celtics. I want to see how

874
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 1: they're gon jail. Finally got the two young guys brown

875
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: and take them. It's their teams to see what they

876
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: can do. Add In kimba UM's gonna be on defense,

877
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart, Marcus Smart. I don't know how they're gonna

878
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: be the defensively as a team, but there you know,

879
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: you know with young teams you can you can buy in.

880
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: You know, I think sometimes older players are are labeled

881
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: that they don't do this, they don't do that. But

882
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: this team is still young enough to buy into understanding that,

883
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, defense, if we play defense, we're gonna have

884
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: a chance to come out. You know, they definitely have time.

885
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 1: They definitely have time. Uh, We're just gonna see if

886
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: they can come together defense. Like and who's gonna be

887
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: the star of that team, the vocal guy on that

888
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: team for I got heat. I think I think Jimmy bore.

889
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: I love Jimmy Butler there. I love what he did

890
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. I think he can do that for Miami

891
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 1: this season. I think he can really be that leader,

892
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: that big shot maker and and and and that that

893
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: attitude can just travel over to everybody on that team.

894
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: I think he embodies and he embodies. I mean, he's

895
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: a blue color the star. You know, he embodies what

896
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: you know that organization about. So you have him high,

897
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,479
Speaker 1: you have a hot big beliefs at that four rocket

898
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: with Jimmy five, I got the paces Aladipo come back healthy,

899
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: no telling what they can do. Brockden thew I like Brogden.

900
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 1: You know he signed a former Rookie of the Year.

901
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: You know, I just I just I just know the

902
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: way Aladipo plays. I know how hungry is. They play hard,

903
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I know how he

904
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 1: was playing before he got hurt. You know, I'm excited

905
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: to see that pistons. I got him at six dead

906
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: Rose on the Resurgence's he bawled him back. I think

907
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: he's Hungry's gonna have a big chip on his shoulder

908
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: this year. Blake gonna be healthy, big cat, and they

909
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: brought my boy in. Joe Johnson won a big three

910
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: shot to Joe Johnson. I hope he gets a chance,

911
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, because I think Joe still has a game.

912
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: I think he got, you know, caught up in a

913
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: situation Houston where he didn't play in the playoffs. And

914
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 1: when you get older and you don't play in the playoffs,

915
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: I think other teams figure you're done. But Joe still

916
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: had game. Ain't done. I battled with him in the championship. Joe, Yes,

917
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: he definitely hope he gets a chance over there. Shout

918
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: out to the Pitts was at six, I seven. I

919
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: got to magine, man, I think those young guys, you know,

920
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: they're hungry. They're always fighting around the last couple of years,

921
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: it was fighting around for the playoffs. Spot. I think

922
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: the experience. I think Garden is gonna come into his

923
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 1: own again as year Bell All Star. I see them

924
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: at seven and eight Raptors. Even though you know they

925
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: lost Kauai I left the Raptors off my experience, I

926
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: think they still got experience that they got a lot

927
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: to prove, and you know we're happening a lot to

928
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: prove do. Yeah, you know, I say, sometimes you do

929
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: the impossible, but you gotta prove it. You gotta prove it. Yeah,

930
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: that's my topic. What you got on the West coming

931
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: out West, it's gonna be fun. Man. The West is loaded,

932
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: the West is the West is scary, and it's gonna

933
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna make for a good year of basketball. But uh,

934
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: let's start at the bottom. Last time we start at

935
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: the top. Let's start at the bottom and work our

936
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: way up. You can't have two teams, but it's my

937
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: fucking list. You're right, Okay, Number eight? That was easy. Yeah, Sacramento.

938
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: I like Sacramento. Good young team. Uh someone we spoken earlier,

939
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: Trevor reads over there, Harrison Barnes uh, you know, they

940
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: got the good young uh fox Europe up, the Aaron

941
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: fox Man crazy talent z. That's um. You know, Sacramento

942
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: is a team that plays with a good pace, and

943
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: I think they're ready to turn the corner. I think

944
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: obviously adding veterans like Trevor Reads is going to help

945
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: that team from a maturity standpoint and understanding standpoint. But

946
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: they got a lot of talent over there. Um. And

947
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: then I have also in the A spot I had

948
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: the Pelicans. You know, I think they have a great

949
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: mix of young players in Zion and and and a

950
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: few other rookies they got. They got the good veteran

951
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: pickups like j. J. Reddick, uh Favors, Drew Holiday, uh

952
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 1: Spurs completely. I left the Spurs off and it's tough

953
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: with the mar on the markets, that's tough. But I've

954
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: been seeing they very well could be the A seed

955
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, well we could talk about what

956
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: I'm saying that there's someone I feel like they could

957
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: find this it's going to be in that that seven

958
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: eight range. So you got triplets for eight seeds, excuse me.

959
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: And it also Dallas. Yeah, the blessing to me and

960
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: hopefully you know, people understand where I'm coming from this.

961
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: My seven team is the Warriors. We love that's our home.

962
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: But love the Warriors, you know what I mean. But

963
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a season where fans are

964
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to understand. I think Steph is gonna have

965
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: a great year. I think it's step is gonna be

966
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: in the talking for m v P again. But I think,

967
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: like I said, I think this team is just looking to,

968
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, continue to steadily improve, build chemistry with the

969
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: new players we mentioned earlier, you know, Karlie Stein and

970
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: christ and the rookie pool, finding out who those guys are,

971
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, checking out the development from the young players

972
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: they got to play last year. I mean, obviously we

973
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: know what Draymond can do. He got a nice contract

974
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: and rewarded for Jane how talented and and he does

975
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: for that team for real? Right, let me hold it.

976
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: Let me hold something, bro D. Don't say that, because

977
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: you know Drake, Drake really would Let me say that.

978
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: Jayson Mell watch just playing Jane Rowlett to something. Don't

979
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: send it to him because the last time ext some

980
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: jerseys use something, shoes and all kinds. So let's see

981
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: how this work playing j Rolex. That's all I need.

982
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: But anyway, yes, I got the Warriors of seven. Like

983
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: I said, I think when Clay comes back, they're a

984
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 1: team that can be They're going to be a scary

985
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: weather and then they're at five to eight range, even

986
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: four range. They're just gonna be a tough out and

987
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: a team that has vesteran experience and it's crazy to think.

988
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: Some people think they won't make the playoffs, but they're

989
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: definitely gonna be in the mix. I got them a

990
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: little low just because I want them to conserve energy

991
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: and understand that it's it's a marathon this year. Shout

992
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: out to the Wars. So they got picked that was

993
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: in the new Arena? Do they shout out to the Wars?

994
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: It's always loved for the Wars. You already know that six.

995
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: I got the Rockets. Uh. You know, we both believed

996
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: that Harden and Westbrook can work. They got a lot

997
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 1: of great pieces. I think Dan Tony's on the hot seat.

998
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna make something happen. They've been on a hot seat,

999
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: but he got a cold ask so he's been putting

1000
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: the feature. He's the worst best coach to get a job.

1001
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: He keep a job, don't crazy because it styled the playoffs.

1002
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: That's what I call him. Dan Prony at five, I

1003
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: got the Nuggets. This is a young team, um exciting team.

1004
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: Team will was the top in the West. But I

1005
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: think they snuck up on teams last year. They're not

1006
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: gonna sneak up on team this year. Everyone knows how

1007
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 1: talented they are. A big fell in the middle. Uh,

1008
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, their young wings coming up. Interesting to see

1009
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: what Mike Reporter can do this year. Uh, someone if healthy,

1010
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: is very skilled. You know, someone that could be in rookie.

1011
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: He's on that Ben simmonship, So he's a rookie this

1012
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: year because you know he can get a chance to

1013
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: play last year. So someone that could really be integral. Uh.

1014
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: And their success for Portland's Portland has been a team

1015
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: that has been collateral to to to the Warrior success,

1016
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: you know, kind of the words of Big Brother. Them

1017
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: a lot but very talented obviously, you know the homie

1018
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: Dame shout out Dame for the album Big Dollar c J.

1019
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: And you know coach Stotts white Side white Side is

1020
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: a big pick up, you know, and they can get

1021
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: h what's the other guy that broke his leg last year. No, Uh,

1022
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: yeah he was. He was having a hell of a season.

1023
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: So they're a team that I don't know like it's

1024
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: it's I think they're a piece away, you know. I

1025
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 1: think they're one piece away from really contending. They got

1026
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: rid of turn in Portland and got bays Moore. No,

1027
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: that's not that's not that's not a good name. Base Market. Shoot,

1028
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: but he's cross him over in the phone booth, base

1029
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: More solid. He could be guarding you right there in

1030
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: the phone booth and you can cross the more. He's

1031
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: still gonna hit the window. Jerald Rider texts me, man,

1032
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: I've been trying to tell him, Man, when are we

1033
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: gonna do his story? Riding? Come on, man, easy Riding,

1034
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: I sent him. I've seeing a little highlight of him.

1035
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: Uh smoke something, bro boy. He crossed someone over, made

1036
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: him falling step back. So now, yeah, shout out, easy Rider.

1037
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,399
Speaker 1: Let me look for to see who uh has real quick?

1038
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: Portland Baysmore is not the answer. I love him. He's

1039
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: a cool guy. He can shoot it left hand, but

1040
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: he he can't guard nobody. And then some nights he

1041
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,240
Speaker 1: can't hear the house. If he was in the kitchen,

1042
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: White Side a little bit. I don't know. Bas Moore

1043
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: is not the answer. I don't think batesmos ans white

1044
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: Side he can he can help them. Yeah, white Shide

1045
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: could definitely help them, right, so I can have anyway

1046
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: moving a good Joe Johnson would have been good. Has

1047
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,919
Speaker 1: been a nice fit there in Portland. Man that would

1048
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: give him the big guard that could score. They can.

1049
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Mellow Mellow is good anywhere, Church League,

1050
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: Lifetime Fitness Um, wherever you want to, NBA Canon, wherever

1051
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: you want to bring him. He's gonna be great. Kenny

1052
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 1: asked it death and pull up. Yeah, he's gonna be great.

1053
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: What'll touch your mellow little bit later, Let's get back

1054
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: to the list of Lakers. Lakers are an interesting team

1055
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: to me, and I think you know the expectations are

1056
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: through the roof. I think everyone even knows it's a

1057
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: new team, expectations of championship. Chemistry is gonna be key

1058
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: to them. Chemistry and health is going to be key

1059
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,879
Speaker 1: for that team. I think you know that coaching staff

1060
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: bringing really that young team and having the respect you know,

1061
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 1: because last year I think they lost they lost respect

1062
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: for Luke. I mean you could tell and it was

1063
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 1: a train wreck after that. So you know that coach

1064
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: staff coming there, getting that respect, their chemistry, getting together

1065
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: and finding everybody's role, and they're gonna be a scary team.

1066
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: I got you taught to you know, for everything we

1067
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier when we talked about them, very talented team.

1068
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: Mike Conley is going to be, you know, someone that

1069
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: they could possibly take them to the next level. And

1070
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: to me, the best team in the West is the Clippers.

1071
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,479
Speaker 1: You know, like I said, the team that's completely bought

1072
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,959
Speaker 1: in on that chemistry concept um. And then you add

1073
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: two players like Kauaii and Paul George and you got

1074
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: Doc there. You got everything you need to to not

1075
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: make it your town, but to get you a championship.

1076
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start to bottom too. I don't have the

1077
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: Jazz making the playoffs for two reasons. You just told

1078
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: me it was good for me to have them at

1079
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: two Did you just say this jo list? This is

1080
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: my list right? Two reasons I hated playing there, Okay,

1081
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: hated it. They're great fans though. Second reason, do you

1082
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: remember this, I'm shooting a free throw second round. This

1083
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: guy has a life size cardboard cut out of me

1084
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: in the jail uniform. Has that just been in trouble

1085
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: year before? Under the goal with the cop I hit

1086
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 1: a free throw and I'm in prison under the goal

1087
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: like I'm shooting you through, but I'm arrested. Us to go.

1088
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: I can't make that ship and I will never forget that.

1089
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: I talked to the guy recently. He tried to like

1090
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: he actually invited us. He invited us to the game.

1091
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: He still has the sign. That's what we're gonna do.

1092
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 1: One day, We're gonna go to the game and sit

1093
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: with that guy because he still has to sign and

1094
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: all that too. That would be pretty cool, But they're

1095
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: not on my list. Sorry. I got the Kings at eight.

1096
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: I'm just a Fox fan. I think this little kids

1097
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: taking his team places. Trevor's that glue got to a

1098
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: lot of teams. We know the experience and and the

1099
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: positive attitude and the and the veteran leadership Trevor brings

1100
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: to a team. I like the Kings of eight seven.

1101
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: I got the Warriors. I don't know what they're gonna do.

1102
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: I'm a Clay Thompson fan. I know what Clay means

1103
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: to the Wars. I know how big he is. For

1104
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: this team, not having him as a big hole. That's

1105
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to feel. I got the I got

1106
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: the Wards at seven. Six, I got the Spurs. Greg Papovich,

1107
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: he's still a mastermind. Got Tim Duncan over there. Hopefully

1108
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: it will help LaMarcus all. Just figure out how to

1109
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: be a dominant big man on defense and not just

1110
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: a defense. Learn how to go left and not go

1111
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: left left shoulder all the time. Expand this game. I

1112
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 1: got the Spurs and six. I think, uh they'll they'll

1113
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: Dey'll shock some people, especially with great poppish. I never

1114
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,840
Speaker 1: underestimate him. Five Nuggets. We talked about a great young team,

1115
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: got a lot of pieces, had a lot of success

1116
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: last year. Don't ain't really so, But I know that

1117
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: they're one of the best teams in the Western Conference.

1118
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: That's why I got them at five. Four Rockets. Of course,

1119
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: those two guys can jail from four to one. That

1120
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: can go anyway on my list, because if the Rockets

1121
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: can come out and if we can actually see a

1122
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: triple double rust with a thirty point James, how could

1123
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,439
Speaker 1: you beat that? You know what I'm saying, They could

1124
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,240
Speaker 1: easily be the best team. So I have the Rockets

1125
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: at four. Now for three Trailblazers, I think white Side

1126
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be big for them. A lot of people

1127
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: don't don't know how good Whiteside could be. But when

1128
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: you have two dominant guards like c J and Dame

1129
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: that can create plays and score at will, having a

1130
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,720
Speaker 1: big man dive into the pain and cleaning up everything

1131
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: on offensive defense at the that's gonna be something. And

1132
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: then when when when cous come back, them two guys

1133
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: playing together along with Damon mccullor, that could be special.

1134
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 1: I got the Portland at three, of course to Clippers Kauai,

1135
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: Paul George, Patrick, Beverley Montres. I got them the best

1136
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: defensive team in the league. If they don't, it's gonna

1137
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: be it's gonna be a letdown. They got they got

1138
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 1: guys that they got two might be the two best

1139
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 1: two way players at the guard spot in the league.

1140
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: With Paul Kauai, they can score any time. We know

1141
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: the team going jail. We talked about that this guy's

1142
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: a limit for this team. They can stay healthy. Uh,

1143
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: they could easily be at the top of this list.

1144
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 1: But I got the Lakers for the simple fact that

1145
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: at one Lakers at one for the simple fact that

1146
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: a D. A D could have been the m v

1147
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: P the last three years if he wanted to. I

1148
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 1: think a D is Tim Nunan on steroids. Man. He

1149
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: can do it all, you know, And if he can

1150
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: stay healthy. The key he's never had a Lebron James key,

1151
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, if he can stay healthy. Areably the best

1152
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: player Lebron's ever played with by far, you know what

1153
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the way you know they had, the way

1154
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 1: way was good at We know we're staying as far

1155
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 1: as big man, you know what I mean. The best

1156
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: shoot guard he played with d Wade. The best point

1157
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: guard he played with was Kyrie No. But I'm just

1158
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: saying overall player, overall players, it might be a D.

1159
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,760
Speaker 1: It might be a D if you can stay healthy

1160
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: this whole season. With with having the burden taking off

1161
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: him a lot, with having Lebron having a solid point

1162
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,439
Speaker 1: guard of Floord's general like Rondo, we're having a guy

1163
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 1: that we all respect, who we all love on that

1164
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:29,280
Speaker 1: sideline of Jay Kid. It could be special Man playing

1165
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: on and on in the big city, on the big

1166
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: time team like the Lakers that he always wanted. You

1167
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: keep just taking when you we talk about coach, you

1168
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: don't ever say that. You just mentioned the assistant. Well,

1169
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 1: the reason why I say that is because I'm a realist.

1170
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: And if me and you was on that team and

1171
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: we had a serious game in game basketball question, I'm

1172
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,280
Speaker 1: not going to vocal. I'm going to ja kid facts.

00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: It's because he does whole players accountable. But I know

1190
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: from experience, when you're coming out that game, you got

1191
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: a basketball question, are you see someone on the court,

1192
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,319

1193
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: Trust me, you're absolutely right. I just like the way

1194
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: you say. You say it better I did. That was

1195
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: the first time I said something what I stuttering too?

1196
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: All right, So we got so in the East, we

1197
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: both got the Bucks. In the West, I got the Clips,

1198
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 1: you got the Lakers. Sorry, who do you see in

1199
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,760
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference Finals? He's the conference finals. I'll go Bucks.

1200
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: I go Buck seventy sixers. I mean, I can't see

1201
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: it getting better than that. That's what I want to see.

1202
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,959
Speaker 1: That's must CTV. That's what I don't want to see.

1203
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: What you think. I can't even argue with you on that.

1204
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: I think Bucks seventy six will be the Eastern Conference Finals.

1205
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: But I got seventy sixers coming going to the finals.

1206
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: I got the seventy six is going to the finals.

1207
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, if Simmons is the Simmons of this summer,

1208
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: they might win this motherfucker. You might running, you know

1209
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: what I mean? They might win the summer. What you

1210
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: got in the West Western Conference Western Conference Finals. I

1211
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: think it would just be really dope to have a

1212
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: Battle of l A for the Western Conference finals, you know.

1213
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: And I think that's something later that we'll touch on

1214
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: in the show. But I think I'm gonna have a

1215
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 1: Battle of l A for the Western Conference finals. I

1216
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,919
Speaker 1: got the Battle of l A, of course, because that's

1217
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: what everybody in this room, in this world wants to see.

1218
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 1: The finals in l A. I mean, the best two

1219
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 1: teams on paper. I mean, it would be great to

1220
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: see fucking the Rockets and the Lakers and somebody, because

1221
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 1: it's still be entertained because they were like how the

1222
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 1: fund did Russ and James figure it out? And Chris

1223
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: Paul and James, you know what I mean? So all

1224
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: that would be great. But the Championship of l A,

1225
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: to see who owned Stepid Center to go to the

1226
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: finals will be great. Who you got winning? I got

1227
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: Clippers coming out that I got Clippers coming out of

1228
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: the West. You got coming out of the West defense

1229
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: win championships, Clippers. So we have a I have Philly

1230
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:29,479
Speaker 1: versus the Clippers in the NBA Championship, and you have

1231
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: the Clippers versus who Bucks Bucks? So who's your champion? Clippers?

1232
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: I got the Clippers to Clippers got too much for

1233
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: the Bucks last year. Ka single handedly slow grief freak

1234
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 1: down by himself. Just imagine having Paul, George and Montres

1235
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: to help you beat him up. Beat him up. So

1236
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty predictions NBA Champs. We have the

1237
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 1: l A Clippers clips y'all hold it down, man, make

1238
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: us look good. And low Wood just dropped the new

1239
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: album check it out. What's your thoughts man on Mellow

1240
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, and it's kind of died down a little bit,

1241
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: but has two guys that played against him and know him.

1242
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: What is your outtake on this? Has he been blackballed

1243
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: from the NBA? Has it's the It's the same situation

1244
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: they did to a lot of players. They put him

1245
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: in a situation they know he's not gonna succeed, Make

1246
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: it look like he can't play no more, make it

1247
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: look like he's a cancer, and just push him out.

1248
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: And once they get you to that point, whether they

1249
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: you're a cancer or like you can't play no more,

1250
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: it's a text that's sung out to every team. It's

1251
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a mass test that's out to

1252
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: every team, every every team since don't fun with him.

1253
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: It happened to AI, it happened to me, it happened

1254
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: to a lot of guys, and it's definitely happened to Melo.

1255
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: Melow wanted and the company guy. He's never been a

1256
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: company guy. You know what I'm saying. He gonna speak

1257
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: his mind, He's gonna martch to the beat of his

1258
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: own drum, and they don't like that at times, you know.

1259
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 1: And it ain't no question if anybody today say that

1260
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: Mellow is not better than sixty of the players an

1261
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 1: NBA right now, they are damn lives and his personal

1262
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: Mellow definitely belongs in the NBA. And he's definitely definitely

1263
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 1: got black ball. It ain't a secret man is as

1264
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: good as this guy is, definitely for sure. Hall of Famer,

1265
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: one of the most talent to scores the game has

1266
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: ever seen, one of the hardest players I ever had

1267
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 1: the card, hands down, someone that could do everything. The

1268
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: one thing that I will chime in from a standpoint

1269
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: of he could have played a role in his own

1270
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: demise was not accepting too much pride, too much pride,

1271
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 1: not swallowing that pride. And I can't speak on what

1272
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: it's like for someone to be as talent to a

1273
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer and then kind of slowly throughout your carewd.

1274
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: You know, we were able to play fourteen years a piece,

1275
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: but coming down your career and kind of having adjust

1276
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: from being who you were at one time to fitting

1277
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: a role of a team. And I think that's what

1278
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: Mellow had a hard time with. But you know this too,

1279
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: The NBA will make you think that your game and

1280
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: your body is done before you're actually done. Can't nobody

1281
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: tell you how your body feels and where your game is.

1282
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: But you right, it's situations, So you're right, right right,

1283
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 1: So like like today, like somebody came to me and

1284
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: say that Jack, you had a great champion, that a

1285
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: great year in the Big Three. You belong in the league.

1286
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: You're a damn lie. I couldn't run up and down

1287
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: that court one quarter half courters where I belong. Melo

1288
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 1: belongs in the league. And and and it's no way

1289
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: that anybody can sit here and say he doesn't. Bro

1290
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 1: So it's obvious that it's bigger than basketball with Melo,

1291
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: and people might not want to say. We know, people

1292
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: in the game not gonna say it because they're trying

1293
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 1: to protect certain ships, try to protect their teams in

1294
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: their organizations. But it's easy that it's been a mass

1295
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 1: tech sun around the NBA and to everybody, do not

1296
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,439
Speaker 1: funk with Carmelo Carmelo Anthon And it's wrong because he's

1297
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: gave a lot to this game. He's a future Hall

1298
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: of Famer and most guys at that caliber deserve to

1299
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: go out the way they want to. Yeah. I mean,

1300
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: to me, he's probably been the most disrespected Hall of

1301
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: Fame player we've seen on the way out from an

1302
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 1: NBA standpoint. But then just the way fans talk the

1303
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: same way, the same way crazy. I was thinking, you know,

1304
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 1: if he could have went in, like I said, to

1305
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: get back to my point, the only only only thing

1306
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: that I didn't like when when the things were happening

1307
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: was you know, if you just accept that six man role,

1308
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: whether you you think you you know you should be

1309
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: starting or not, but if you go on and just

1310
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: buy in for what the team is about. You know,

1311
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:14,959
Speaker 1: you think if you're if you're six man, you're playing

1312
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: against the second or third best player in that position

1313
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 1: when you're when when you know, when you get in

1314
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: the game, dominate, you're gonna the offense is gonna go

1315
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: through you, and then you'll be playing at the end

1316
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 1: of the game. And that's what matters, you know, starting

1317
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 1: whoever starts, that's whatever, however you feel about that, but

1318
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: it's about who who finishes the game. And that's the

1319
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: gene he doesn't have, you know what I mean. We

1320
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: had the gene that just have an understanding, you know

1321
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: what I mean, like I said, but we weren't the

1322
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 1: level of superstar he was, Like I said, we can't

1323
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: speak to how hard it was to swallow, how hard

1324
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 1: that pill was to swallow, or just to have an

1325
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: understand it. Okay, Ship, they don't need my you know,

1326
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 1: they don't need my what I used to do. They

1327
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: need me to you know, fit into this role and

1328
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: to help this team win. And I think that's the

1329
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 1: only like I said, that's the only not granted, I

1330
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: could grow pent I think he's been black balled. I

1331
01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 1: think he should still be in the NBA. I think

1332
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: he's still one of the most talented play I just

1333
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: think him not really buying into what teams wanted. Yeah,

1334
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: real shout out to Mellow, shout out to Melow Man,

1335
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 1: do you think he's done? You think Jerr Smith has done?

1336
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 1: You think these guys that you know I see working

1337
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: out still in and putting in the hours in the

1338
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,120

Speaker 1: why not help him? I can't rebut on that, bro.

1363
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: So I think we're both in agreeing then that he's

1364
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 1: he probably won't get a Blacks done. I hate to

1365
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 1: say it, but it's it seems like they're trying to

1366
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: do my boy, um Gerald Smith the same way. You

1367
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I hate to say that because

1368
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: he belonged on the league to man j R. Got

1369
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: so much game left and to see him, to see

1370
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: him going through that, just because he's not being who

1371
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 1: they want him to be. He's being himself. Yet we

1372
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: all make mistakes, Yet we all funk up. Everybody has.

1373
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: I love Gerard because he owns it. Anytime you make

1374
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: a mistake, he owns it. And the fact that he's

1375
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: not he's not what they want him to be. They

1376
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: want to push him out. You know what I mean.

1377
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 1: I hate he got to go through that. You have

1378
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 1: a situation similar, you know, I was luckily I was

1379
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 1: able to walk away on my terms, and not too

1380
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 1: many people could really say that. But you know I

1381
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: signed you on your way down and still had plenty

1382
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: of game, and and and you found yourself without a job.

1383
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: Well what was that about? Well it was hard because,

1384
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: like you said, you know you still can play, you

1385
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 1: know you belong in the game, and excided when the

1386
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: Clippers picked you up. You know, I was just like Jack,

1387
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 1: that someone that could definitely help us after that situation.

1388
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 1: I knew I wasn't because you know, the whole Dona

1389
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 1: Sterling situation. I made the song about Dona Sterling with

1390
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: his car face America the Beautiful. I knew after that.

1391
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: But the way it ended, like I was, I just

1392
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:30,439
Speaker 1: started playing. Well, Chris Paul break his hand and it's

1393
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: a business. I understand that. And they came to me

1394
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: and told me we need to get another point guard.

1395
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 1: So we got because I was on the tender at

1396
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: the time, so I understood that. But I knew at

1397
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: that point basketball was over for me in the NBA. Wise,

1398
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: I had no idea the Big Three was gonna coming

1399
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: out of that, so I thought basketball was done. But

1400
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 1: I was fine with it. Fourteen years it wasn't expected.

1401
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: I was fine with it, you know what I'm saying.

1402
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it doesn't feel good to

1403
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: be pushed out of anything where you know you belong,

1404
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 1: where you know you paid your dudes, where you know

1405
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: you earned it. It It wasn't given to you, you know

1406
01:03:58,080 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: what I mean. And to be pushed out when you

1407
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: know you had still that game, it hurts because that's

1408
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 1: just like I can tell you what it felt like

1409
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: when I got suspended for the Madison Pattisos thirty games.

1410
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it felt like like the it is

1411
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:14,919
Speaker 1: the game is taken from you, what you've been doing

1412
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 1: your whole like, what you love, what you know how

1413
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: to do best. Did just take just take the air

1414
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: out of you. And when I knew that, you know

1415
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I accepted it, but I knew I

1416
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 1: had to go move on from it. But it hurt.

1417
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: It hurt, yeah, no, for no, no lies about it.

1418
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: You know, I was fortunate to be able to to

1419
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 1: play as long as I wanted and step away, you know,

1420
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 1: when I felt I was done, you know, after fourteen years,

1421
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 1: so I could, but I was completely at peace, you

1422
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It was a situation where I

1423
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 1: just felt like I was missing too much time with

1424
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 1: my kids and going through the bullshit with my ex.

1425
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: At the time, I just was ready for what was next.

1426
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 1: You know, business started doing well that the stuff I

1427
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: invested in and started prior years ended. So you know,

1428
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 1: I was someone that retired and was cool. I didn't

1429
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 1: care about playing basketball no more, but still could watch it,

1430
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 1: you know, talk about it, to teach it, coach my

1431
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: kids in it, take my kids to games. I didn't

1432
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 1: miss it. I I you know, I didn't I feel

1433
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:07,439
Speaker 1: the need to want to be back on the court.

1434
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: That's why I knew I made the right decision. Like

1435
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:10,919
Speaker 1: like you said, we was never supposed to be there

1436
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: to get fourteen years to to to make you know,

1437
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 1: the money we were fortunate enough to make both to

1438
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: win the ring. It was a blessing. But you know,

1439
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 1: for those guys that that aren't feeling you know, that

1440
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 1: haven't come that that that still feel like they should

1441
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 1: and they should be in the NBA, you know, for

1442
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 1: them not to get a chance to be in the NBA.

1443
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine how that feels, and I'm sure it

1444
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: eats up at him, man, So I hope, you know,

1445
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: he comes to peace with that, or or he gets

1446
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 1: a chance to Big Three. Baby. You know, it's for

1447
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: guys who really love playing basketball. But it's a great
