38
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: get to it man. Heading to two. It's it's a

39
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: mess with the COVID protocol. Everyone's in and out. It's

40
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: hard to keep track of who's what. But we got

41
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: the top five in the Eastern Conference right now as

42
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee, Miami Heat, and the

43
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: surprised team of the year thus far. I think besides

44
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: Chicago would be Cleveland. I really like how hard they're

45
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: playing with guys in and out. Um. You know, it's

46
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: probably gonna be that way the whole year. You're hearing

47
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: Kyrie is possibly coming back soon. What do you think

48
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: about the Eastern Conference so far? Well, I think the

49
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: longest Katie's in the Eastern Conference. We know who's the favorite. Obviously,

50
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: Milwaukee is always gonna be around. With the way they're playing.

51
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: I think they kind of lose. They lost the live

52
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: when they got rid of Pza Tucker. They got rid

53
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: of their toughness. Man, I don't think they did the

54
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: same team. But you still gotta worry about them being

55
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: at their defended champions and uh and and and then

56
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: that's what That's kind of where I'm at with the East.

57
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not really putting too many teams in. Yes,

58
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland is in the top five. They're definitely doing well.

59
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: I'm playing hard. Coach got them playing hard, But I

60
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: don't see them being there when they counts um from

61
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: I really say, from four um down, it could really

62
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: be a toss up because a lot of these teams

63
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: are close. A lot of this kid is gonna come

64
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: down to the end of the season. But not having

65
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: all these teams healthy, think the East Conference would be

66
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: different if we've seen four teams. Yeah, I think Milwaukee

67
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: starting to turn their corner. Uh, you know, struggled early obviously,

68
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: the loss of p J. Tucker was big. Janice was

69
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: in and out. They're playing some good basketball late. You know,

70
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: my surprise my team of the year to watch Chicago

71
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: that at number two. They just played hard. I just

72
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: like how hard they play on both of them and

73
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: move the ball. Looked like they're having fun. And like

74
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: you said, I mean, if you've got Katie, you know

75
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna be the favorite. You're hearing Kyrie is gonna

76
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: come back part time, which is dope. Um. You know

77
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: Harden played on Christmas. I still can't believe shorthanded what

78
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: they did to the Lakers with just hard. But we'll

79
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: talk about that ship later. The Western Conference, the head

80
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: of the class go to State, followed by Phoenix, Utah,

81
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: Memphis and the Clippers holding tied at five. We just

82
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: found out Paul George will missed the next month with

83
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: an elbow injury. John Moran is back in Memphis. What

84
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: do you make of this Western Conference picture? Man, Listen,

85
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: the Golden State Wars are coming to win the championship.

86
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna saying. Man, everybody's talking about they're

87
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: they're really concerned to talking about what the Lakers are

88
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: not doing. Let's talk about what Golden State and what

89
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: Phoenix is doing. These two teams are showing that they're

90
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: way better than every team in the West right now.

91
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: They're playing like they keeping it. They're doing everything right,

92
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: keeping the players healthy, all the things that lining up

93
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: for both of these teams to be there at the end.

94
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: And I love the way Golden State is rocking right now.

95
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: I agree we I think I definitely owe a Phoenix

96
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: and apology because I didn't think they were I thought,

97
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: obviously it takes a lot to get to the to

98
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: the finals, but I thought they had a lot of

99
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: things line up in their favor with you know, a

100
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: lot of the team's missing star players. But they came

101
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: out this year. I think with that on their shoulder,

102
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: they've been playing great basketball. And then again, Golden state.

103
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: Both these teams are very deep, you know. I mean,

104
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: they're not just starter or heavy. They get production from

105
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: their bench, playing hard Um Utah's Utah. I still think

106
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: they're one player away. I like how hard Memphis plays. Man,

107
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: they got a bunch of dogs out there. They play

108
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: on both ends of the floor, Um Clippers with Paul George.

109
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: I mean that the West is so congested, and you know,

110
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: I think there's a handful of games that separate like

111
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: five from fourteen almost, So don't be surprised if they

112
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: make a slide now with PG and Kauai out um.

113
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,799
Speaker 1: You know, Denver hasn't been healthy. The Lakers are a mess, Dallaside,

114
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: Luca in and out. Minnesota is a tough team. But

115
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: it's still early, you know what I mean. We're going

116
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: into two. We just passed Christmas, so kind of the

117
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 1: first third of this season somewhat as under wraps. But again,

118
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: like you said, Jack, I think everyone's talking about what

119
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: the Lakers aren't doing, and I don't know, you know,

120
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: I was someone who said early on that I thought

121
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: post All Star would be to see the best team,

122
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: and I still think we'll see the best Lakers post

123
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: because they're they're just an older team. But you know,

124
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: I'm starting looking and see like they just don't have

125
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: Their team isn't constructed very well. They just released Isaiah Thomas.

126
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: They picked up Darren Collison and UM Stanley Johnson. I

127
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: liked the way Stanley Johnson played the other night UM

128
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 1: against against Brooklyn. You know it's a big, strong, six

129
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: five six six wing defender who's not afraid to play

130
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: some defense. But this team is gonna need some help. Man. Now,

131
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: the mileston't pass for Lebron. James passes Kobe Bryant and

132
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: Kareem in the record books, being the all time leadings

133
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: score on Christmas Day. I think what Jeff Van Gunny said,

134
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: when you play a lot, you have a chance to

135
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: get a lot of records. I think Lebron's played sixteen

136
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 1: times on Christmas UM and has been able to pass

137
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: two historic Lakers UM thoughts on that accomplishment. I think,

138
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: when this guy's done, I mean he's gonna have every

139
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: a majority of every fucking record that ever was set

140
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: in this game. Man, who cares? But he scored the

141
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: most points on Christmas Day when you played every Christmas Day, like,

142
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: come on, you every day and your career. Every year

143
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: your career, you play on Christmas bro Like, yeah, okay,

144
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: it's cool, but you know, I mean I could have

145
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: done without that one. You know. The fan of that

146
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: stat a fun crazier status. Lakers on a five game skid,

147
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: uh eighties been out for a little bit. I want

148
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: to say they're two games under five hundred. Obviously their

149
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: window is closing. You know, Lebron has been great, but

150
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: there's no mystery. He's getting older and older. He has

151
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: to miss you know, time here and there just to

152
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: kind of maintain his body. Again, this that this roster

153
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: is is a little bit crazy. Going into the trade deadline.

154
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: What type of moves you think that the Lakers front

155
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: officer should be looking for? Well, it's it's it's hard

156
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: to say, because you had some key piece that you

157
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: let go, Like I really liked Isaiah, because if you

158
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: kept Isaiah that I gave, you didn't sensor to probably

159
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: move Westbrook if you need to. You know what I mean.

160
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: I honestly think that that this team can get it

161
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: done together. And I'm gonna go back to what I

162
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: said before they won the championship. I don't like the coach.

163
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't like the coach and and and as you

164
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: see now, he got all these different stars, these different personalities,

165
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: and he can't make them come together. He can't make

166
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: them buy in and be on one the car, and

167
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: that's why they're losing. But this team has a lot

168
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: of talent, Matt, I don't care if they're old or not.

169
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: Um Anthony David's got to take care of his body. Man.

170
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: You know I'm not calling him baby to him, duncan

171
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: no more because he's too fragile. He weighed too fragile,

172
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: He missed too many games. Uh to be somebody that

173
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: this team is counting on all the money they're paying

174
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: the dog. So I think this this team is a

175
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: disaster right now, from the coach on down. And you

176
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: can't just blame it on one person. I don't know

177
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: who they're gonna trade for to make this right, But

178
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: I can't even see nobody want to come in there

179
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: and step into that mess. Right? Do you see Westbrook

180
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 1: being traded before they trade their line? In your opinion

181
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: or or let me ask this. I don't want to

182
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: put you on the spot and you don't actually want

183
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: would you trade if you're the GM, would you trade

184
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: Westbrook going into this trade the line me personally, I

185
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't because you know, west one of my favorite players

186
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: in the league. But the way he's playing right now,

187
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: I can see it happen. I can see, you know,

188
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: I can see him being on the trading blocks because

189
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: he he is one guy that that they can't trade

190
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: and the other teams would want you know what I'm saying,

191
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: even even though you know they might want to get

192
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: rid of some money, They might want to get rid

193
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: of Ben Simmons, who knows, But it's there's certain situations

194
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: that I think Russ can fall in man, But I

195
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: don't think a D and Bron gonna nowhere. Yeah, no,

196
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: I definitely don't think a D and Lebron are going

197
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: to hire. But again, obviously some of a D injuries

198
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: are bad luck. But you know, when you look at

199
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: a D as far as the skill set, because you know,

200
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: I think, and I've always been a huge fan, a

201
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: D still him. I think Janice has obviously past him

202
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: now and to me, a D is still more skilled.

203
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: But the way Janice continues to develop, and I just

204
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: think the motor he plays with sets him apart like

205
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: he had just he just his effort is unbelievable on

206
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: both ends. And can you imagine if a D had

207
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Joannice's battery when we saw that at the beginning of

208
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: the season when they played in Milwaukee. A D didn't

209
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: want that smoke. A D did not want the smoke.

210
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: Greek Creek was looking forward the whole game, looking for him,

211
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: running on them, dunking on just just looking forward. And

212
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: that's the difference. And I have to say that too,

213
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: because I was high on after the days. Right now,

214
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: it's not even close with Greek Fik is way ahead

215
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: of him. Now. I agree, you agree, you to agree,

216
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: and again, and it's not even talent, I mean because

217
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: to me, a D is obviously still more skilled than Yannice.

218
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: Janice just got more dog, more heart, in my opinion,

219
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: And I hope that a D kind of sees, you know,

220
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: when you sit out for a long time, you kind

221
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: of see where your team needs you the most. Especially

222
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: with the player like him, they could do everything. But

223
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: I just hope he's more assertive when he comes back.

224
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: Obviously we want him to stay healthy, but he needs

225
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: to be more assertive on both ends, man, because he

226
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: could do it on both ends. It just doesn't seem

227
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: like sometimes he wants to that will to win that

228
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: Janis has, that's something you can't teach man. That's why

229
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: he's so specially everybody don't have that will. You know,

230
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: he might not be the best shoot and all that,

231
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: but he has the will to win and you need

232
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: that in your store. Yeah. Absolutely, that hunger, that dog

233
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: that desire. Next up on the Radar, presented you by DraftKings.

234
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: Closing out the year, we get a chance to see

235
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: last year's MVP Joker versus Steph Curry, who's leading odds

236
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: on to win m v P this year. They get

237
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: a chance to play two times this week Tuesday and Thursday.

238
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: Um Curry currently is odds on to win m v

239
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: P this year at one point three to one, followed

240
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: by Katie two point five to one. Obviously Golden State

241
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: number one team in the West, the number one team

242
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: in the league, followed by the top seed in the

243
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: East Brooklyn and Katie also leads a league in scoring,

244
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: followed by Janice nine to one. Odds. Joker has been

245
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: doing a lot this year. Man numbers are crazy. Shorthanded

246
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: Denver team, He's twelve to one and then in bed

247
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: someone who I said, he needs to go to the

248
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: front offense, tell him they need to make a motherfucking

249
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: move or trade me because they're wasting man. This dude

250
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: is out here killing, playing as many games as possible

251
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: and putting in work. Jack got Bet. I just get

252
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: so impressed on how he's taking guards off the perimeter

253
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: and shooting step backs and and shot fake jumpers and

254
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: all this kind of like I haven't seen that since

255
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: Boogie and I really like him. Like I said, I

256
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: just think he's wasting his time right now with this

257
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: team being so stubborn and not trading, trading away Ben Simmons,

258
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: But that's neither here there Uh, In this talented group,

259
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: who are the two guys you like the most? Of

260
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: course Curt Man Curry's leading for me what he's done

261
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: this year, just picking up from last year. Way he

262
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: could have been m VP last year. I think he's

263
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: just showing how special was he breaking records as well

264
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: at the top of the Western Conference. That says a lot, uh,

265
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: considering Clare is not there and his play still coming back,

266
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: and this team is gaining more and more confidence, the

267
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: young players are gaining more and more confidence. I just

268
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: love what stuff is doing and and the leader he's

269
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: become not only the best shooter or one of the

270
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: best players league, but the leader he has become has

271
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: been special. With Katie too, Uh, not having Kyrie, everything

272
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: that's going on with Kyrie, James being in and out

273
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: and still trying to plug this team together the way

274
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: he's been carrying his team, leading the league and scoring.

275
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: Those two guys, man are definitely my leaders for m VP.

276
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: I could I'll be happy with either one of them

277
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: winning it, but it would be good to see both

278
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: of these teams. I'll plaguing each other for strim Agreed, Agreed,

279
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I mean, I couldn't say more. You know,

280
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: Steff has been doing this thing, Katie has been doing

281
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: this thing. And when you look take a deeper look

282
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: at Brooklyn outside obviously they're big three, they don't have

283
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: a very good roster and that's what, all due respect,

284
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: they just don't get the same thing with l A.

285
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: They don't have a very good roster. You know. You

286
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: people see names on paper and think they fit, but

287
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: then come when it comes to mystery and actually getting

288
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: down there and doing it, it's been a different thing.

289
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: You know what, I mean, so the particularly l A

290
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: and and and the Nets have been trying to build

291
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, grab you know, uh, you know, free agents

292
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: at the low level um. But what I like about

293
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: Gold State in the showing and the Phoenix Touba Gold

294
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: State in particular, is they've been able to keep their

295
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: core together and they've just been adding pieces, you know,

296
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: over the last few years. You know, obviously fiends getting

297
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: CP and been able to add pieces, but they've been

298
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: able to keep their core. These other teams, uh, you

299
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: know who who people talk about Lakers, and that's in particular.

300
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: You know, every year they're starting with you know, their

301
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: stars and they're trying to build a whole team around

302
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: them in one offseason. So I always say chemistry plays

303
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: a big part in team success, and you're really starting

304
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: to see that. But you know, as good as Katie is,

305
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: he's been able to keep this team above float, you know,

306
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: pretty much, not single handedly, but pretty goddamn close single handedly.

307
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: All right, next up, secure the bag my money line.

308
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna give you three players that we feel like

309
00:13:55,400 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: are out performing their contracts, starting with Bobby Poor. Just

310
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, he signed a two year, nearly nine million

311
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: dollar deal took a discount to stay with this team.

312
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: But he's at nearly sixteen points nine rebounds in twenty

313
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: eight minutes of game, shooting from the free throw from

314
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: the three point line, and the Bucks are seventeen and

315
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: nine with him in the lineup. Another guy on there

316
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: out there in Milwaukee and our brother. I'm so happy

317
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: to see this. DeMarcus Cousins signed. You know, they just

318
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: picked him up about a month ago. Uh, he signed

319
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: a one year, two million dollars non guaranteed. The last

320
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: five games, he's at fourteen points, nearly nine rebounds in

321
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: twenty three minutes, and I know he's gonna add that

322
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: depth and toughness. Obviously not a wing defendant that p J.

323
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: Tucker was, but definitely brings that same mentality and toughness

324
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: and and that's both in imports and into Marcus and

325
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: last but not least, Patty Mills. Man, he's been killing

326
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: the way he's been playing. You know, everyone always thought

327
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: he was just a system guy in San Antonio, and

328
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: he did that great. But he did his thing in

329
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: the Olympics last year and him and Kadi are are

330
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: Are are definitely carrying this Brooklyn team. Um thoughts on

331
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: those three guys, and and you know, you and I

332
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: were guys that often were underpaid. But you know, hopefully

333
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: these guys will get what they're worth. Um this season.

334
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: My thoughts on those three guys, well, I'm gonna start

335
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: at the bottom with Patty mills Man, with Brooklyn Man.

336
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: One thing about that you can't teach championship experience. You

337
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: can't teach knowing your role, knowing how to buy in

338
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: and being able to fit in any system. And Patty

339
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: mills that guy, tough minded. It's proven in the in

340
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: the World Olympic Games, was scoring big buckets. He's went

341
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: on the championship teams. He's been in a great organization

342
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: where you know how to be a professional every all

343
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: all across the board. Patty, Patty mills Field checks all

344
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: those boxes. Man, He's something. He should have been one

345
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: of the highest free agents this summer, you know, considering

346
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: what he brings to the table every night and on

347
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: the deepest event, he's he's a tough nos defender, so

348
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: he definitely deserves he definitely deserves a lot more money.

349
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: But I'm glad, I know, Katie, glad he got Patty

350
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: Meal in the back card with him Boogey. Of course

351
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm happy for Booget. May you know that's how guy.

352
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: We've been fighting for booking for a while, and Uh,

353
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: we talked about the toughness we're losing p Ja Tucker

354
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: where they add that a lot of toughings with Boogie.

355
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: I didn't know if there's gonna let him play and

356
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: be the Boogie that week that we all know he

357
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: could be. But as you see, Budd's letting him rock.

358
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: But it's familiar to a lot of people. Don't know

359
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: what Bud's familiar with coaching to Big Man with David

360
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: Robinson and Tim Dunkan. He did it for a couple

361
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: of years when I was there as well we won

362
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: the championship, So he knows how to give both guys

363
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: that shine and give the guys both from to beat

364
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: themselves because they're totally different. I like to look for

365
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: him in Milwaukee and uh hopefully can ride this out

366
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: and have a good year and get another contract because

367
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: he still can play Bobby Porter's of course, I think

368
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: he deserved more money for the year he had and

369
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: the contribution to the championship team. You know what I mean,

370
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: We all know he deserved more money. But I see

371
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: what he's thinking. He's in a great position. He's a

372
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: fan favorite, you know what I mean. Uh, he's a champion.

373
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: I think he knows his time won't come with the money,

374
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: and maybe it wasn't this year, you know, considered when

375
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: all the money they already spent there. So I like

376
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: his training thought, I like I like the way he's thinking.

377
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: And nothing but the best to all those guys. Yeah,

378
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm not mistaken, body, Bobby Porters was

379
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: out the league before last year. I think he was.

380
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: He was out for a minute, you know, So you

381
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: don't come in and play a big part on the

382
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: championship team, get a ring and then again to get

383
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, ship only nine million, ain't you know? Obviously

384
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: that's some good money. But agreed. I think hopefully he

385
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: keeps this numbers up after next year, he'll be able

386
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: to get himself a nice deal. But you know, best

387
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: to luck to obviously the boogie, uh, you know, to

388
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: be able to hang in there after all the injury

389
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: ship we said, and that was one thing when when

390
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: when when they signed him, we both said, you know,

391
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: hopefully they give him a chance to actually play and

392
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: they'll just bring him to sit on the bench, and

393
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: they've been able to do that, so he definitely still

394
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: has some game left and he's gonna help them in

395
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I guarantee that. Yeah. I mean, I think

396
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: obviously the way everything you said about Patty Mills about

397
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: his you know, the way he cares himself as a professional, um,

398
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, being brought up in that San Antonio organization,

399
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: and he's kind of a plug and play guy, whether

400
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: you need him to start or come off the bench. Uh,

401
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: he's been huge for this team, especially considering the way

402
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: James and James has been in and out, and then

403
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: Kyrie hasn't been there at all, and and and Patty

404
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: Mills has been someone who's been able to step up

405
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: as a starter and come off the bench and bring

406
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: you firepower. So you know, when this team gets healthy,

407
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 1: if they get healthy and get Kyrie back, those four guys,

408
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a better four score is

409
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: in the game that play on the same team as

410
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: those four. So it's gonna be fun to see if

411
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: they can get everyone back. Make sure you check out

412
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: our episode with Seth Curry at the top of the

413
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: New Year, January six. Don't miss it. Here's the teaser

414
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: January seven, nearly a year ago. Uh game versus the

415
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: nets you tested positive after spending the first quarter of

416
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: the bench were placed in isolation at Barclays in the

417
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: in In response to that, you guys had to quarantine. Um,

418
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: this all, all, this quarantine and COVID is not new

419
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: but fairly new. How has that kind of affected you? Uh?

420
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: Personally being obviously you know a family man, father first

421
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: and husband first and foremost. But then also you know,

422
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: attending to your job. It's tough. It's tough as a balance.

423
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: I mean, is you got a job where you gotta

424
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: go out there and do your job, provide for your family,

425
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: played the game that you love. But at the same

426
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: time you gott you try to be careful, take care

427
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: of your family. Uh. You know, that's what you sign

428
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: up for if you if you sign up to play

429
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: in the league this year, you sign up for a

430
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: little bit of risk going out there and possibly get

431
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 1: getting the virus bringing it back home. But hopefully everybody

432
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: year around is doing their part and the many good

433
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: party if you get it right now, nobody's getting seriously

434
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: sick around the league right now. So, Um, that's that's

435
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: the positive part of it, outside of kind of having

436
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: a somewhat steady yourself off the quarters. Anything else that

437
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: you do different um from your day to day during

438
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: the season, that you didn't do since we've been in

439
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: product and since we've been in since we've had this

440
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: pandimen Uh. Last year it was crazy, you can really

441
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: the hotel. But this year, um, kind of getting back

442
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: to the normal, normal routine and stuff you like to

443
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: do on the role. Me personally, I'm in the hotel,

444
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: go out to eat with a few people every once

445
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: in a while on a row. Um, So my routine

446
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: don't change too much. Um. It's more the guy that

447
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: I had to get out in the streets a little

448
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: bit more of that laughter. The Taylor was back a

449
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: little bit. Jackie might have been a trouble bro. Yeah,

450
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: I would. I wouldn't have made it. I wouldn't have

451
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: made it, man. Yeah, it's it's a struggle for them

452
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: building team chemistry. How has the business for a lot

453
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: going on over there? You know, Doc Rills is a

454
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: great coach somebody me in mad respect, you know, but

455
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: how how has it been this year with everything going on?

456
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: Building the chemistry with you got it's been solid outside

457
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: of being everybody came back was on the team last

458
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: year for the most part, so we know we know

459
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: each other. Chemistry been solid. Ben had been around the

460
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: team too much, um, so it's not like he's coming

461
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: in and out of practice, in and out of games

462
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: messing up the chemistry. We kind of know who we got.

463
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: Obviously be missing a big peace from last year, but

464
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: we know who we got and we're trying to make

465
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: it work um with it with the talent we have,

466
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: and it's just up and down season. Were obviously guys

467
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: at out the line with Covid that's the biggest thing

468
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: in chemistry wise. I kind of find like, obviously being

469
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: four players, I kind of think I know the answer.

470
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: But when all that Ben ship was going on at

471
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, was that it kind of

472
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: feels like that you guys will probably be a lot

473
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: You guys were still locked in the locker room. It

474
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: was just really outside noise doing all the talking, or

475
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: was it there a little bit of rumbling inside the

476
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: locker room as well? It was solid in the locker room.

477
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: One time we talked about it was obviously Doc addressed

478
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: it earlier in the season. Um, first day of trained

479
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: to camp in and then one time we talked about

480
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: it and when the media come in, that Philly media,

481
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: that's all you want to talk about, is is drama

482
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: when we get in front of them obviously doing their jobs,

483
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: but when we step on the floor, Like I said,

484
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: we knew who we had in the locker room. We

485
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna show up to play every day

486
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: and we're trying to make it work. So um we honestly,

487
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: like I said, we tried. We kind of cheated like

488
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: a long term energy injury. We knew Ben was gonna

489
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: be there for the for the start of season. You

490
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta address fan questions, Bibbins, who was the

491
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: best teammate besides each other that you played with? Oh? Man,

492
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: I have I mean sorry, it's hard question. Yeah, but

493
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: my the majard of my teammates who I consider my

494
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: close friends and still my brothers to this day, they

495
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: all was in Golden State. I talked to you know

496
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,959
Speaker 1: what I mean, I really um and don't know when

497
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: that wasn't was Jermaine O'Neil, but all my other brothers.

498
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: I basically I was in Golden State with him. That

499
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: was my closest friends that go to state team. Yeah, um,

500
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: outside that going Marke's Dames too, I got kid Leak's

501
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: a good call. Outside that going state team, I would say,

502
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: uh code CP, DeAndre and then Draymond Green. I think

503
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: those are all I mean. Obviously, it's funny because you

504
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: kind of have it in it's naturally kind of have

505
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: preconceived notions about people before you play, or they have

506
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: them about you. But when you play, there's not too

507
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: many bad people in the league, you know what I mean.

508
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: Like you may think think a certain thing of someone,

509
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: but you get a chance to meet him or play

510
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: with him. Everybody is pretty cool in the league, you

511
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I I haven't had really I

512
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: didn't really have no like asshole asshole teammates, to be

513
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: honest with you. But Wad was my guy too, Yeah

514
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: yeah crash. Next fan question at eight sixty Wolf, if

515
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: either of y'all could change up a part of your

516
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: game for someone else's who was in the league right now?

517
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: Who and what would it be. I was a good shooter,

518
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: I was. I was a nice size, I was, you know,

519
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: I had a lot of hard But if I could

520
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: add anything to my game and take someone with somebody

521
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: else game. I would take Kyrie Irvan's handles my size.

522
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: With those handles, I was damned unstoppable already, but if

523
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: I had those handles, it was a real problem that

524
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: be trouble. I think I would take uh, Kevin Durant's

525
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: guard skills who because I mean I was I was

526
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: just I was just actually just talking about it with

527
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: Nick this morning when he was cutting my hair. He

528
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,239
Speaker 1: was talking about it is it's safe to say that

529
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant could be the greatest score of all time.

530
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: And I think, obviously that's a loaded question, but like

531
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: one of the main things I said, just this motherfucker's

532
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: seven ft two guard, you know, I mean, so it's

533
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: just like come home, and so that would be mine.

534
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: Jamaican prints oh three. Huge fan of the show, but

535
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: watching you guys who since we believe My question is

536
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: with all the COVID happening around the league, which fictional

537
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: basketball movie character would you like to see filling on

538
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: which team fictional I would go with probably um right now,

539
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: this league being so soft, I gotta go my boy

540
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: would hairs as on butterm Mota I got moved. I

541
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: would like to see him in the league right now,

542
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: punking people, dunking on boards. I would take the white boy,

543
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: what the dude there was rolling this dubis in Nellie's house.

544
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: I put Woody Harrelson from White Man, Can't Jump on

545
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: on Golden State. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He was nice.

546
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: He was nice. It was nice with them behind the back,

547
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: but the behind the head jumper, he was nice. He

548
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: had no hops, but he was nice. Next fan question

549
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: at nahannan dot Underscore, what was your reaction when Kobe

550
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: dropped eighty one oh Man Ship. I remember two. I

551
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: was sitting with I was in Philly, not playing smoking

552
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: watching it one one of my home girls. It was

553
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: over and just in in in in this man. It

554
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: was just to see it, to see how HoTT he got. Obviously,

555
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: everyone always saw I would have did this. I would

556
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: have did that. That motherfucker was in such a zone

557
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: that it was just a beautiful thing to watch. Man.

558
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: So I was. I was happy. Two things I thought of.

559
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: One after I scored, I had a forty point triple

560
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: double dog, and I thought I was gonna were gonna

561
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: be able to play two weeks after. For about two weeks,

562
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: I was so tired. How do you have the stamina

563
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: to score eighty one in the NBA second Hi half?

564
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: The team ain't filed out. It's no way that men,

565
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: you can be on the same team. Man and I

566
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: don't care who is playing that me and you don't

567
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: both filet before somebody get eighty one points from us.

568
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you've never seen it. Yeah, I mean, like

569
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: I said, that goes what I was saying. We all

570
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: said we we would did this is but we definitely

571
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: would have fouled And Cob knew that about the stuff,

572
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, Cob knew there was never gonna

573
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: be an easy night whenever, you know, he played against us.

574
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: It was always had to earn everything. But like I said,

575
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: he was in such his own But yeah, I definitely

576
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: would have fouled out. He would have some horror fouls,

577
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: but it probably would have made it matter, so right

578
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: it was. It was a beautiful thing. White nose. One

579
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: thousand thoughts on experience or talent being the biggest factor

580
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 1: on crafting a championship team. I think for me, you know,

581
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: my championship year, I was I was blessed because I

582
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: was coming into something that was already structured, you know.

583
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: So I was I was coming into be a piece,

584
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: uh uh, not not even a big piece, but a

585
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: piece that mattered. And um, having Tim, Tim Duncan and

586
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: David Robinson. You know, I just had to be a

587
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: star on my role like you always say, Matt, and

588
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: I went and did that, you know, I was, I was,

589
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: I was willing to learn. You know. Pop told me

590
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: if I played defense, I'll play on this team. He

591
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: didn't say I would be a start, And I ended

592
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: up being a start on the championship team and hitting

593
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: big shot first round, West Conference finals and finals to

594
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: have the team wins. So I think for me it

595
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: was it was a situation that I was blessed to

596
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: be in to be able to come play with David Robins, Tima.

597
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: But also I didn't go there trying to be the star,

598
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: because I knew that wasn't my role. I went there

599
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: being a tough nosed kid that can make big shots,

600
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And it worked out. So

601
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: just just be you and if it fit you know what,

602
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: if it worked for you, do if it don't, something

603
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: else will. I mean, I feel like both of those

604
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: go hand in hand. Obviously, you need talent to get there,

605
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: but once you get there, you need experience, you know.

606
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: That's why you can never really trust any young team. Um.

607
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: Golden State was a fairly young team when they made

608
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: their first championship run the fifteen, but normally it's an

609
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: experienced veteran team, you know. So that's why wherever ever,

610
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: everyone is holding out hope for the Lakers because they're

611
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: that their experienced veteran team. All that they haven't been

612
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: to get along. They just got a lot of miles

613
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: and a lot of experience. So talent gets you there,

614
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: but you need experience once you get there. So to me,

615
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: they go hand in hand. New Year's resolution ships. I

616
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: was actually thinking about this the other day in the shower, Jack,

648
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: for the Celtics after starting there twenty years ago. Jack,

649
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: Right now, there's gonna be a lot of guys getting

650
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: a chance, And if we weren't so far removed, I

651
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: would tell us to get on a little workout plan

652
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: and get back out there. But we've seen guys like

653
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: Darren Collinson, Lance Stevenson, Stanley Johnson, C J. Miles, Brandon, Knight, Lankston, Galloway,

654
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: Moody a UM. Hopefully Isaiah Thomas lands on his feet somewhere.

655
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: He just was let go after his first ten day

656
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: with the Lakers. I told Jamal Crawford, man dustin knees,

657
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: dust the shoes off and warming them knees up, because

658
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: he definitely still has some game in it. But it's

659
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: an interesting time right now with the way COVID has

660
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: hit this league and giving guys that are getting another shot.

661
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: But I guarantee some of these guys are gonna end

662
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: up sticking and getting another three or four years out

663
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: of this. Yeah. I don't want to hear nothing about

664
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: these names of Jamal Crawford and Jerald Smith name in it.

665
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: These guys have been Both of these guys work on

666
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: their game all year around. They love the game. I

667
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: teach you still be in the league. Um, it's just crazy, man.

668
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: And then you know, like you just said though, and

669
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: if a motherfucker gave me a good two months, I

670
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: go out there and take one of them chump's job.

671
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: You know what I'm because a lot of you can

672
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: tell my love for the game. Some of these guys

673
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: just happy being around, you know what I'm saying. We

674
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: we we want to make sure that our presses with

675
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: felt so um good guys like Gerald Smith in the game.

676
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: Get you guys like Jamal Crawford in the game, and

677
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: stop getting these guys just throw them in the league

678
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: because you feel like they're gonna come and just be

679
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: a yes man. No, you want guys that's gonna come

680
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: in there and compete and play. And um, I think

681
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys in the league that's not

682
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: in the league right now that can feel those roles

683
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: definitely and and also feel those roles and playing, but

684
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: also that mentorship. And I think we talked about that,

685
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: like there's nothing not many O g s left in

686
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: the game because the game is so young now, and

687
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: I definitely think he could use it. It could definitely

688
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: use that kind of ship. That ship isn't valuable um

689
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: moving forward. One thing you want to see in the

690
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: NBA in two Kyrie Irving re Irving. That's what I

691
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: want to see in the NBA for twenty two. Man. However,

692
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: they gotta do it, when they're gonna do it. I'm

693
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: ready to see the kid back on the court. Man.

694
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: I know everybody else sees too, agreed, one thousand per cent.

695
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: And I want to see everyone healthy and safe and

696
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: and and just getting back to basketball because I want

697
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: it's just been so weird. I don't remember Jack maybe

698
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: and we're just old, but I don't remember health being

699
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: such a big issue when we played in the league.

700
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: Like now, it's almost like you gotta worry about every

701
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: team star being hurt. And I'm not even take covid

702
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,479
Speaker 1: away from the equation. I'm just talking about health as

703
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: far as physical health, you know what I mean. Like

704
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: when we played again, we played, we try to play

705
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: eighty two games every season, and it wasn't really that

706
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: big of a deal because you knew guys are gonna

707
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: be there, and you knew guys for the most part,

708
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: are gonna be healthier. As a healthier they can be

709
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Nowadays, Man, these stars are missing so

710
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: much playoff action and it's shaping the road to the championships.

711
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: So with all that said, I just want to see

712
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: guys obviously physically healthy and then you know, with the

713
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: COVID ship healthy out there so we can get some

714
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: good basketball, uh, going towards the playoffs. Well that's a wrap.

715
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: You can catch what's burning every week on Showtime Basketball
