1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Biggest shot in the two finals. J All y'all was

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: on teammates together. Probably the most creative basketball player with

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: the ball, most skilled player I've ever seen. He's the

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: greatest scorer I've ever seen underneath that basket, bro and

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: and and it's crazy because everything he do is reaction.

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: There's nothing like he's like, oh yeah, I'm gonna do this,

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna do that, and I'm gonna do that. No, no, no,

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: however you he's looking at the game, it's artist streak.

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: You can't make it up the moves that he's doing

10
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: because I don't think he knows what it is because

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: he's literally just reacting and he's that talented to do

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: what he do. Welcome back to What's Burning Jack, Our

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: favorite time of the year here, man. The NBA Finals

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: are upon us and we got a great matchup. Man,

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm excited. Celtics have continued their playoff run. Man, They've

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: got an impressive run. If you think about a round one,

17
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: they knocked out Katie and Kyrie. Round two, all the

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: middle time was missing, they still knocked out Janis and

19
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: the defending champs Eastern Conference Finals. They take down the

20
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: number one seed in Jimmy Butler, only to arrive against

21
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: Golden State. Man thoughts on their Eastern Conference run and

22
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: just kind of looking forward to this NBA Finals matchup,

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: and they knocked off everybody. You know what I mean.

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: They took Katie and Kyrie down, They took you honest down,

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: and they took Jimmy down. Mean they read it. This

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: is the most complete team I've seen in a long

27
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: time in the NBA as far as from top to bottom,

28
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,919
Speaker 1: great coaching, You've got two great stars and Tatum and Brown.

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: You got defensive player they Ink and Marcus Smart, and

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 1: you got a savvy Vett as the anchor of the team,

31
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Al Hartford. But just just this team and the great

32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: job email Udoker was doing, I think for as a whole.

33
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: Even when you bring Williams Williams off the bench, this

34
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: team just has everything they need to be a championship team.

35
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: And the stars have been playing well and they play

36
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: together with having stars. So I just think everything that

37
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: they've been through from from round one to now has

38
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: prepared them for these finals. Man. Uh, you know, I

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: gotta go to State winning, but these guys are they

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: might prove me wrong. Yeah, this is gonna be a

41
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: great finals. I feel like, I think the way Boston

42
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: plays defense and then their size is I mean from

43
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: Grant Williams to Al Horford to Robert Williams. They got

44
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: a big front line, and uh, you know sometimes that affects,

45
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, the Warriors ability because they're a small ball team.

46
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: But you know, Tatum or Brown two way young superstars.

47
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: Tatums emerged as a as a is emerging as a

48
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: young superstar right in front of our eyes. He captured

49
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: the first inaugural Larry Bird Eastern Conference m VP Finals

50
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: a ten and six. One thing I really thought was

51
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: dope that he wore that Kobe Bryant number twenty four

52
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: wrist band and then also sent Covid text after, you know,

53
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: Covid smiling down. What was your thoughts on that? I

54
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: think that's dope, man. I think you know, that's that's

55
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: some great motivation to have. That's somebody that you know,

56
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: even guys like us that that was his age we

57
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: all learned from. But you know that that's their Jordan's

58
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, the impact he's had on

59
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: the game and some of these and some of these

60
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: young players, you know, you can't even you can't even

61
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: imagine because he's had some of that is that same

62
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: effect on some of us. So it's just good to

63
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: see that he's trying to live through, live and keep

64
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: Kobe's legs alive, but also use Kobe as motivation. If

65
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: it's anybody that you're using his motivation, especially to get

66
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: you to that next level of your basketball game, it

67
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: should be code. Yeah. This is Boston's first Finals appearance

68
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: since two thousand and ten when they actually played the Lakers.

69
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: Before we move on Jack, let's talk about Miami real quick.

70
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler played his ass off all throughout the playoffs,

71
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: including the Eastern Finals. Thoughts on that team, and you

72
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: know kind of the run they made. Yeah, I mean,

73
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: and be said at all Miami and need is another star.

74
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: I like Bam at the Bayo. He's solid, but he,

75
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's just not that star. Kyle Lowry's at

76
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: the end of his career. I love him. He came

77
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: and had some big makes, some big players and had

78
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: a good game, uh game six in Boston to get

79
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: that win, but he's just not the Kyle that we

80
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: that we used to see in Toronto. So Jimmy just

81
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: did everything. He did all he could. Obviously, we see

82
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Hero is not the player that we all expect him

83
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: to be. You can't rely on Struce to go out

84
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: there and shoot a million grenades and blow the backboard

85
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: up and and and you just don't. You just don't

86
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: have enough on this all the deepot is still not ready.

87
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: So they need to try to make some moves and

88
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: use some of those guys as Begi to bring another

89
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: star in bro, because Jimmy is doing all he can.

90
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: He played big, you know, and just you just can't

91
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: expect him to do everything. You need more help. Jimmy

92
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: Butler playoff. Jimmy Butler is is a different type of player. Man,

93
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: top five player in the league when you come to

94
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs, Man, this dude is ready to compete on

95
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: both ends and do whatever it takes. You know this

96
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: this year in the playoffs, he was scoring before it

97
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: was defensive playmaking and hitting big shots. I mean, this

98
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: dude does everything he could for his team. But they

99
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: just felt short to me, they didn't have enough scoring.

100
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: And I agree, you know what I mean. So it'll

101
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what they do uh this offseason.

102
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: But hats off to the Miami heat in particular Jimmy Butler. Man,

103
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: he played his ass off the Western Conference champs, the

104
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors have been chilling resting up um. You know,

105
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: they got some injuries. They had Otto Porter with a

106
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: foot injury. You know, Steph had a little tweak, wasn't

107
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: too serious of his ankle. Draymond fell on his wrists.

108
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: So those guys have been resting up. Man, three time champs.

109
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: This is gonna be their six finals appearance in eight seasons.

110
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: But what makes that when I say that, in in

111
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: how amazing is think about? What didn't Lebron have nine

112
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: finals appearances in ten years or something like that? I mean,

113
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: just to think about. I mean, obviously we're talking about

114
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: going to state, but six and eight years is impressive

115
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: this man. Lebron had nine in ten years. But man,

116
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: the Golden State hats off to Wiggins, Looney and Jordan

117
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: pool Man. They've been able to you know, kind of

118
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: the unsung heroes of this team. You know who the

119
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: star core three is. But those guys particularly have played

120
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: really well that helped his team get to the place

121
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: they're at. I mean the way they space, the way

122
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: they moved the ball. They also play great defense. I

123
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: just think this is gonna be a great matchup both

124
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: ways because both these teams are explosive of offensively and

125
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: they both play defense. Hopefully we'll get an update on

126
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: Gary Payton uh the Second. Would love to see him

127
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: make his return UM in the finals. But tell me

128
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: what you like about this Golden State team Jack going

129
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: into the finals. Well, I love the team. I love

130
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: the way they play together. They finally got everybody back

131
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: healthy and these days, these days they had the rest

132
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: they definitely need. Um. Step has been big, Clay has

133
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: been big. I think we need to see Clay game six,

134
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: Clay from game one in this series because I'm anxious

135
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: to see who is going to be the equalizer if

136
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: a Tatum. Uh, Tatum is a problem bro six nine.

137
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Can can handle the ball

138
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: like a like a point guard, can shoot like a

139
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: like a shooting guard. He just has all the all

140
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: the talentsibles you need to lead a team to the championship.

141
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: And I want to know who's gonna be the ask

142
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: for him. I know what Step gonna do, but Step

143
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: can't guard him. It's Clay gonna come back and be

144
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: that guy that we know they could play both ways

145
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: and help will this team in the championship. I don't know.

146
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: Can Jmond help guard one of these big guys and

147
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: still be able to have rebound it gets Harford and Williams,

148
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. So it's a lot of it's a

149
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: lot of questions that's uh that need to be answering, Matt.

150
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: But for the most part, the war has been in

151
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: before they got the experience. They know where to take

152
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: and uh, we're just gonna see if they can get

153
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: it done. I mean, you can definitely throw Wiggins in

154
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: that mix. But yeah, I think there's a lot of

155
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: matchups both ways. Um. You know. But and for Golden

156
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: State too, that's gonna be the first time they've really

157
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: played in the playoffs. Two consistent scores, you know. I mean,

158
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: you've got Tatum and Brown and Brown has been consistent,

159
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: I think right around twenty points a game too. So

160
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, everyone they've been able to play thus far.

161
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: You know, they had tried to cut the head off

162
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: the snake. Um, but this team right here has a

163
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: has a couple of different uh you know, guys that

164
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: can put the ball in the basket. And then Marcus Smart,

165
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: you know he's been scoring the ball extremely well as well,

166
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be interesting. You know, the Celtics are big,

167
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 1: they can score and they play defense. Golden State as small,

168
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: but they space. Looney has been rebounded like a fucking animal.

169
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: He knows he's got a little contract coming up this summer.

170
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: You're trying to secure that bag. Shout out to my

171
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: Brewing brother has been playing great. But man, I'm really

172
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: looking forward to this finals. Like you said, there's a

173
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: lot of questions to be answered, but I just think

174
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a beautiful, uh final series, and I

175
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: know everyone's really looking forward to it. Yeah, you know what, Matt,

176
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: One more thing, the dynamic of Stephen Clay and Pool

177
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: having a guard a lot of one on one I so,

178
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: and the dynamic of Brown and Tatum they got to

179
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: chase off screens. Now that's gonna be interesting to see.

180
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: And I wonder how that's gonna work too, because you know,

181
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: when you look at the Warriors, the Warriors are the

182
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 1: one team you know when whenever teams call it red

183
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: or black, you know that last five or six seconds

184
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: when it's butter, They're the one team that doesn't that

185
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: doesn't really break down into just straight one on one player.

186
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: They do it sometimes, but they continue to move the ball, penetrate, kick,

187
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: find that open shooter and get the great you know,

188
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: get a great shot right at the end of the buzzer. Boston,

189
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: on the other hand, is a team when it you know,

190
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: breaks down, they go to Tatum M. Brown to one

191
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: on one ice. So so like you said, Tatum Brown,

192
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: you gonna have to chase around these screens. Is definitely

193
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: gonna wear them down. But it's gonna be in the

194
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: sea because you know, those guys can definitely score the

195
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: ball as well. So I can't wait, all right, Jack,

196
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: before we move on to the m v P favorites,

197
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: who do you got in how many games? I'm going

198
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: to wars and six man? I just think, um, the

199
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: experience and the dynamic of the fans in the Bay Area.

200
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna put it off the six. The

201
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: experience is going to be huge in this. This is

202
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, there first. This this is Boston's first rodeo.

203
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: Al Horford, I think had the NBA record for not

204
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: making a finals appearance in playing a certain amount of

205
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 1: playoff games. This is uh, this is not new for

206
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: Golden State. So I'm gonna take Golden State in seven.

207
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a great, great series. Next

208
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: up on the radar, presented you by Draft Kings, here's

209
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: a look at the top five m v P favorites

210
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: according to draft Kings. We're starting with Steph Curry at

211
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: a plus one ten, Jason Tatum at a plus one seventy.

212
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: Next up, Jaden Brown did a plus eleven hundred, followed

213
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: by Clay tom to the plus fifteen hundred, and rounding

214
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: out the top five Draymond Green at a plus eighteen hundreds.

215
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: We'll see how that shakes out. I'm going Clay plus

216
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: for m v P. Please get that brand. I want

217
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: to see Steff. I would take Steph plus just plus

218
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: one ten, just because I feel like this is the

219
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: only thing missing on his resume. You know, the finals

220
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: MVPs got a regular MVP has got rings. It's time

221
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: for a finals MVP. Joining us in this conversation is

Speaker 1: the finals. How'd it go? It was rough, Man, it

228
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: was a rough start, but finished up strong and end

229
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: up taking could be one of my class. I mean,

230
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: I guess I can. I mean, you set the bar

231
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: pretty much high with straight a's bro, So I guess.

232
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: I guess. Okay, Bro, Yeah, I got four ays and

233
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: b man, so relations dope, dope, you played in five

234
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: different NBA finals. Bro, when this when this time you

235
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: come around, do you start to you know, have members

236
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: and go down memory lane? Um? Only when I watched it, bro. Honestly, man,

237
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm so out of touch for the game right now.

238
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: So I think I almost forgot what time of the

239
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: year it was, because like, I'll be on the golf

240
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: course all day long, man, I'll be I'll be in

241
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: Like I live a totally different life than I did

242
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: when I was playing and stuff, so I got a

243
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: totally different perspective on it. So when I look at

244
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: the game now when I do school and I do

245
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: catch up on it and I see it's the finals,

246
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: just like damn, I's saying highlights it It's crazy because

247
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: it's seen so long ago right when it's not right.

248
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: I should I'll be be five years removed this June.

249
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: That ship went by fastest. Fun. Yeah, because every time

250
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: of people all the time, and when you we're not

251
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: in it all the time, like you used to revolve

252
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: around your world. No more figure out outside of what

253
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: you've always done. Already got kids. Man, before we get

254
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: into the two thousand tens, you were one of the

255
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: first volume three point shooters when you came to live,

256
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: used to let that motherfucker fly? Uh, what do you

257
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: think about now that you see just so many threes

258
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: and how effective you would have been in this game?

259
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: Because this is really your running gun, is really your game.

260
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: So when when when I say that to you, what

261
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: do you think about? And? Um, you know what, it's

262
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: crazy because oh four, you know it wasn't cool to

263
00:12:53,960 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: shoot a right to the three. Maybe you had to

264
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: get it when you fitted throwing the Devil of the love,

265
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: but now you you know two dudes. For me, I

266
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: don't know, man, it's hard because I see, like I

267
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: don't want to seem like a hater, but like when

268
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: I know I know my talent and I know the

269
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: talent that I have, and I when I when I

270
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: see the game changed like that as an eighteen year

271
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: old kid. For me being in that situation, like, man,

272
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: I could have made five hundred million, I could have

273
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: made it bigger, like like for real, real, because like

274
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: it's changing the way of the game, and not only that,

275
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: it is changing the eye of what you know, um,

276
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: being being able to wear your clothes and express yourself

277
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: on the court and the mental health part, like so

278
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: it's all catered around supporting that type of style. So

279
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: for me, it would have been out of thrived in

280
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: what were some of your toughest matchups on the wing

281
00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: when you're playing Kitty Cold got code one night, we

282
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: got a team Mac one night, Ray Allen, Uh, it's

283
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: just a west Uh. It was just all you got

284
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: all the night you got you got a cat? What right?

285
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: All right? Would you mean you Yeah, you don't know.

286
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: I can tell you never really played the game like that. Um,

287
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: then you got you gotta go out East, you go

288

295
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: seven who eighteen games my rookie year. It was something

00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: like that, or or then had fifty and Dame had

297
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,080

304
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: than like having Dwight on there, I think Dwight should

Speaker 1: have been up there. Um. I mean if we at

306
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: the end of the day, like you know, granted, even

307
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: if you don't win the championship, and he didn't win

308
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: a championship with us with the Lakers, um, like what

309
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: he did, what he did for the game as a

310
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: big gag number of stats where he approached the game.

311
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: Like people to say what they want about the white

312
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: or you know, crazy whatever you want to think or

313
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: whatever the persona is about him on the court with

314
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: the returns of refs or coaches. But when I tell

315
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: approach to the game, Bro, he's in the gym every day.

316
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: He eats right, He worked on his game, Like I

317
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: don't care about what nobody said. There's a lot of

318
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: people out there who try to pretend act like they

319
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: work on their game and they be practicing moves. He

320
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: at least he's actually working on that ship. You know

321
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: what I'm saying now. He puts in the effort, bro,

322
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: And like his body shows that, his body of work

323
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: shows it. Like he just dominant all those times? Was

324
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: it when they was a code and those USA teams

325
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: he was the center, brom Like, he was enforces. It

326
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: was like, well, let's not forget about the way Howard

327
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: bro Like that was that was crazy? A chance to

328
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: play with prime to White in Orlando. He was, Yeah,

Speaker 1: respect them this without know Kyrie Carter. I think it

332
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: was Clay. It was Saint Clay missed you up and

333
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: didn't get Clay Mac. I mean there's a couple of

334
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: people that I mean, but it's always gonna be like that.

335
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,040

00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: be like, it's like that, and let's the players do

337

349
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: creative basketball player with the ball, most skilled playof I've

350
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: ever seen, Kyrie Irvin. To me, Kyle is the greatest

351
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: scorer ever under the sixth three six two, whatever whatever

352
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,359

358
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean and and and it's crazy because I mean, yeah,

359
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: he has like little drills that he does, but everything

360
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: he do is reaction. There's nothing like he's like, oh, yeah,

361
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this, and then I'm gonna do that,

362
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do that. No, no, no, However you

363
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: he's looking at the game, this artistry is exactly what

364
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: it is because you can't make it up, the moves

365
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: that he's doing, because I don't think he knows what

366
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: it is because he's literally just reacting and he's that

367
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: talented to do what do he do? St Yeah, he

368
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: put a move on stuff and go to state that yeah,

369
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: and pulled up on him and Katie. I'm like, bro,

00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: what was that? I had to watch it like any times?

371
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: What was that? Well? Bro, people don't realize how tough

372
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: a shot it is that from three ft from three

373
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: ft away, the actual jump shot over a guy coming

Speaker 1: towards you. A big man. He makes that shot all

375
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: the time, glass nothing but that ring around like all

376
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: the time, left hand and right hand. That's a tough shot.

387
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: K Level is my guy. He's one of the greatest

388
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: teammates I've had, bro Like um, you know, speaking on

389
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: his being able to speak up for his mental health

390
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: and UH going through the moments we've had with each

391
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: other in Cleveland. As a player, he's a hell of

392
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: a competitor. Um. Definitely one of my team in the

393
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: Fox on Me all day long. Because just because I

394
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: know he's gone, you know he's gonna scrap for sure,

395
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: and you know, people don't really don't really know Care

396
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: really didn't play that well offensively, like how he was

397
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: quote unquote to post on the game seven. You know

398
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that he was just getting every single rebound,

399
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: all the stops and all the big parts, and he

400
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: really put his pride a side of you know, I'm

401
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: just I'm a thirty and twenty guy from what he

402
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: came from and in Minnesota really accepted, you know, letting

403
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: Kyrie and Uh really handled all the little the load.

404
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: He pretty much you know, I'm gonna do the dirty

405
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: work and stretched the floward when they need me and

406
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: Uh once we started. But the crazy part is once

407
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: we really started flourishing, we started playing through kill. You know,

408
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: as much as people want to talk about how Brian

409
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: and Kai was, you know, the dominant force. I remember Tyk,

410
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: I think keV had thirty in the first quarter against

411
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: Portland at the crib like it was like and it

412
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: was a stretch of games where he was just going

413
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: nuts and like to start the game out because everybody

414
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, obviously focus on and Bron and and uh,

415
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: I wanted to run me off the three. But people

416
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: always forgot how good kid was, whether spot ups and

417
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: back in and down, you know what I'm saying. And

418
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: he can get to the get to the free throw line,

419
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: so really strongest, heal and loves to pass the ball,

420
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, loves the outlet the ball,

421
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: loves to drop the back door dins like he just

422
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: wanted to feel involved in the game. What I'm saying,

423
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: so and it's it was a hell of a dude

424
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: though even better player. I think people forget the dominance

425
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: he had in Minnesota because they didn't really win, but

426
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: the numbers he was putting up in Minnesota were of fame. Ridiculous,

427
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: bro and I you know, it's funny about Kevin KEEVI

428
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: is still the only person there from that championship change

429
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, you know what I'm saying. He was going

430
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: for going from a team where we were where we

431
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: were at to where they was at then, you know,

432
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: and then come back to being a player like them

433
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 1: they play off caliber team now. It's uh, I respect

434
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: him a lot for that because that's that's a hard

435
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: thing to do. You know what I'm saying it was

436
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: a real Obviously he's getting well paid for it too,

437
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: but it's it's not easy, man, because that's something you

438
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: love to do, that's your passion. For me as a competitor,

439
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: I ain't, man, I can't take too much losing, Bro

440
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: before I say something. I remember when I was in

441
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: uh My Clipper Stint, I got a chance to see

442
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: k Love go against Blake and the Killer and he

443
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: finished the game like thirty thirty eight and twenty five

444
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: some ship like that, and I'm like, like, were like

445
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: twelve times. I'm like, god, damn, Bro, I did not

446
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: know kay Love was like that. I didn't. He was like,

447
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny because people people get so caught

448
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: up and you don't want to see somebody play above

449
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: the rim and think that's the only way the game

450
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: is supposed to be played. And when you see somebody

451
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: just fundamentally like got it, like yeah boy from AI

452
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: game brouh, he reminds me so much of k Love,

453
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: like Jackson, sound bro, he got it? Yep. Next up,

454

Speaker 1: we got four time All Star, three times NBA Champ,

Speaker 1: seven times All Defensive twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, The Champ

456
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: two times All NBA sixteen seventeen defensive played the year

457
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: he had a three year peak eleven points per game,

458
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: eight rebounds for games seven and sists per game. You

459
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: played against him in the finals, Um, Draymond Green. Before

460
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: we get to Draymond, I know you ain't playing no

461
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: defense that because you don't know STM mean, bro, you

462
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: did that. You ain't because I was in that mother

463
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 1: for the stats. But I know that. Well alright, Well

464
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: one thing, one thing about it, swish I go to

465
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: state team that yeah, we would let the league is

466
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: still so I know I had to be at the

467
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: top of the team. But I definitely that I definitely

468
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: definitely didn't know what that mean. Yeah, yeah, you're stupid, Uh, Draymond.

469
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: Draymond Green, great dude, like a hundred percent great dude. Uh.

470
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: Fun take compete against um just because you know he

471
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: talked and antics and all of that. That part of it. Uh,

472
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: it's from very blessed to be playing with really good Uh,

473
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: no question, no question. Oh, I will say that. Well,

474
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: I think I think because his numbers don't jump off

475
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: the page that people kind of have a problem with

476
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: his game or his accolades or what he receives. But

477
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: to me, he's just a winning motherfucker and he got

478
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: in a great situation. There's no no, you know, no

479
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: doubt about that. But if you think about it, because

480
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: you played against him, we played against him, I played

481
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: with him. He's the one that makes that machine go.

482
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,479
Speaker 1: I mean I can, I can. I can respect that.

483
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 1: Like you compete, Bro, Like you, if you compete, no

484
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: matter no matter how talented you are, no matter how

485
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, whether great or how or load talent level

486
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: you are at, if you don't compete, you are, you don't.

487
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: It don't even matter. Like I ain't gonna lie delive

488
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: Dovo on my team and Cleveland, he competed anybody I've

489
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life. Bro. He was literally about

490
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: to die in the play. Like literally, Bro, were in

491
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: the back after the game, like Steph almost killed this man.

492
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm never going not tell you she don't compete,

493
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: because he definitely do. But I just imagine how good

494
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: that would be if he just worked on his shot.

495
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: That's the only thing I have a problem with, Like

496
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: he's comfortable with people just disrespecting me. Yeah, y'all still

497
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: win it. I'll still get championships without it. Bro, But me,

498
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: if he just worked on his jump shot and shot

499
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: at a company does about the say, I'm not convinced

500
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: he don't. Jack. I'm convinced he don't. I'm convinced he

501
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: don't know he does. I think because I had supply

502
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: I saw how hard this dude work day after day

503
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: after day. I think you do. You know what about

504
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I agree with you because I feel,

505
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 1: like a lot of people, it's mental at this point

506
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: when when you hear when you continuously here, whether it

507
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: be on Twitter or social for media or watch TV

508
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: or you know, can people continuously talking about your shot

509
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: and you can't shoot? That's mental? Bro. You already every

510
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: time you catch that ball, you're already thinking about you're

511
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: not gonna make the shot or what everybody else gonna say?

512
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: You already got a second guess a shooter. You ain't

513
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: man let me looking over here. You can't get over

514
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: here faster though, And I think too, you all know,

515
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean because we all shot the ball the three.

516
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: The hardest shot, The hardest shot to make is the

517
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: wide open one when no one's guarding you. That ship

518
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: is hard to make. Like I'd rather have someone close

519
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: or hand up, but that wide open shot when they're

520
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: sitting in the paint, like I couldn't have been, Like,

521
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: that's gotta be a tough ass shot to make. And

522
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: they leave, they leaveing. You know it's crazy, and we're

523
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: talking with one of his benefits. We did the same thing, well,

524
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: Andre Goodollard, he burnt the eyes up for the first ship.

525
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: That's why I got finals in the VP. We left

526
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: him and he kept knocking that ship down every single time.

527
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie live. I would live with that, bro.

528
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: I was to locking like, BROI that's what that's what

529
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: we did. When we live with it, Like damn, sna

530
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: beat this with that and ship and he got final conversation.

531
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: We gotta take our hat of because that was the

532
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: game and show beat this with that. He had three threes.

533
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: Then go to the pre throw line and shoot the ball.

534
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: But look at it. Look at it though, Think about this, though,

535
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: think about this. That's the game plan, right, they beat us,

536
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: no Kyrie, no calv that next year we come back

537
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: and win. Then they go get k D and they

538
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: went to and what you what you mean? That's what

539
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: was supposed to happen but we call it square. What's

540
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: happening right? This is a different book. That team was

541
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: a cheat coach man. Next up another one. Five time

542
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: All Star, two times a m b A All Defensive

543
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: Team two thousand nineteen, three times in a Champ All

544
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: Rookie team in two thousand eleven three or peak twenty

545
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: two point shooting from the three point line. The other

546
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: splash brother Clay Thompson problem problem, boy's a problem. Ratchet, ratchet,

547
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: get it over there. You can't get it over there

548
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: fast enough. Anything I like about him though he compete,

549
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: though he not he compete. He ain't talking ship. He

550
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: wanted the quiet people on the court unless he talking

551
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: to his team, and he get hyped, you know in

552
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: the big moments obviously like most people. But he not

553
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: allowed with there just chirping to be chirping and trying

554
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: to be chippy and all of that. He played again

555
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: the right way, and I really like Clay for that.

556
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: He'd be saying so wild ship off the court though

557
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: about people, but I don't really funk with but he

558
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: can hoop. Uh yeah. I think what I liked about

559
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: Clay too was obviously he played defense. You know, he

560
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: was the guy before he's starting to get back that

561
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: he was the one who always took the toughest matches

562
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: for that team on the wing. And then also he

563
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: didn't have a shot pocket, and which is crazy because

564
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: everyone says great shotes to get to your shot pocket.

565
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: Clay he catch that bitch anywhere and let it right

566
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: where he caught it at, like side his head off

567
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: to the side, let it go. Me and the twins

568
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: do a drill. It's called it. It's the Clay drier.

569
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: Like wherever you wherever I thought the ball, you gotta

570
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: shoot it from right like That's how Clay would catch

571
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: that bit and just let it go from any perspective.

572
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: And that's the one thing too, when I got a

573
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: chance to play with that team. Not to cut you off, Jr.

574
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: Steph is the greatest shooter of all time, but if

575
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: we go shot for shot, it's hard to tell who

576
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: is the actual just best spot up three point shooter

577
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: between those two because they're both Like I would watch,

578
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: you know, after after practice workouts, where Clay would missed

579
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: two shots out of maybe like two hundred shots, it

580
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: would be just unbelievable. How many is just straight consecutive

581
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: fucking shots he would may do so great. That's good.

582
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: That's got a gun man in the family. In the family.

583
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: Next up one of my former teammates. Six time All

584
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: Star All Rookie Team in eleven, five time All NBA

585
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: Rookie the Year and eleven as well, three year peak

586
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: twenty two, nine and five. To me, one of the

587
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: most versatile four mans that we've seen. Injuries obviously slowed

588
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: him down. But Blake Griffin, Big Blake, Blake is funny man.

589
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: Blake is Blake. Blake is a character, Bro. He's He's

590
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: a funny dude, is a good dude. Man. His game

591
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: was unfortunately, you know, injuries and stuff like that, but

592
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: Blake has so much game explosions. Bro. When he first

593
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: came out, I was thinking, like, I said, we've seen Stat,

594
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: and Stat was like, yo, hey, yeah, then we've seen Blake.

595
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: The ship Blake was doing. I thought that. I thought,

596
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it was, oh my god. He was jumped

597
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: over Mysgarf. People. I played with Mysgarf. I know how

598
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: big mysgar is. Bro. He seven of Russian like big

599
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: like he jumped over that man, Bro. And then and

600
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: then DJ was next to him too too. Lovethress. That's

601
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: the one thing when you mentioned the White Howard, I

602
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: put Blake right behind Kobe as far as the hardest

603
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: working people I've ever seen. When they say first man in,

604
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: last man out, that's no exaggeration. Where this dude works

605
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: so hard on his jumper, the way he hit, the

606
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 1: way he was able to. I mean he would, bro

607
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: When I tell you he was in there an hour

608
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: or for practice before anyone, he'd be drenched by the time.

609
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,760

Speaker 1: a whole full ball handling, jump shot workout and just

612
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: you could really see his game. And I think under

613
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: under estimated thing about his game was his ball handing

614
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: and his passing ability, because that motherfucker could passed the

615
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,200

Speaker 1: been to, I've never seen or heard a punch that

762
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: loud and the souled out arena. Everybody in the arena

763
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 1: heard that punch. That's how loud it was. Bro. And

764
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: he just showed while Papa he wanted the best in

765
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: the business. M It looked like Rolls is bigger than him,

766
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 1: wasn't he roll was big? Get at him and ro Roly.

767
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: You know he had some skill as far as power,

768
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: and he was strong. Even Tanks said Tanks said, I

769
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: felt one of his punches, and I really in the

770
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: first two three rounds and I realized I couldn't sit

771
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: down with him yet because he was too strong. I

772
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: had to wear him down and move around. So Roly

773
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: had power and Roley was confident. He just don't have

774
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: no boxing skill and that's what Tank set himself set him.

775
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: Apart from m that was a great match up. We Uh,

776
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: we were able to watch the fight at the crib

777
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: out there in Vegas, so we had a good time.

778
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: Man closing thoughts, Darvin ham happy for this brother man.

779
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: I had him with the Lakers as an assistant. Has

780
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: just signed a four year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.

781
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,720
Speaker 1: You know, former player getting his chance. Uh. Jack thoughts

782
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: on hiring d Ham and and and what he brings

783
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: to this l a Laker culture. Well, I mean it's

784
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: just we call the spade is paid. Former players is

785
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,479
Speaker 1: coming in the league. They're really taking over doing great

786
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: coaching job. Looking at him, and you DOOKI his first

787
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: year he's in NBA finals. You know what I'm saying.

788
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: One thing you can't teach. You can't teach experience. You

789
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 1: can sit behind the computer, you can crush the numbers.

790
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 1: You can do all that, but having experienced is nothing

791
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: you can teach. And Donna and Darn have has that,

792
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: dam has that. I've been knowing dem for a long time.

793
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: We came up together a little bit in the league,

794
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: and Uh, he's just always been a solid guy. UM,

795
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: just like email Udoka coached under UM UH coach Pop

796
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: over in San Antonio. Well, de Ham is coached under

797
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: under but over there man and UM Milwaukee, so he

798
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: got that same to them. Is So I'm happy for him. Bro.

799
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: He deserves the shot and I think he's gonna do great. Yeah,

800
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: pay his dudes. UM. Obviously, this is a this is

801
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: a this is a it's a hot seat. It's a

802
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: tricky situation over here with the Lakers. Obviously you think

803
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: you know who wouldn't want to be the Laker coach.

804
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: But there's a lot that comes with this ship. Man.

805
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: You know, Vogel saw what happened in the championship and

806
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: out two years after that. UH roster is poorly constructed,

807
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: So interesting to see what they can do with this roster,

808
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: if anything. But I think the one thing that stands

809
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: out knowing d Ham is he's gonna have accountability. In

810
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: that locker you know what I mean, He's gonna be

811
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: able to say what needs to be said to whoever

812
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: it needs to be said to, and it will be respected.

813
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: And you definitely can't say that about the last locker

814
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: room that the Lakers have. So that's the one thing

815
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: I know for sure. I don't know a lot of

816
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: the other moving parts of what the fun is going on,

817
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: but I know his voice will be respected and they'll

818
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: I have accountability, and I think that's one of the

819
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: first thing this team needs because there was a lot

820
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: of weird ship going on from the outside looking in.

821
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see where our brother Nothing

822
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: but the best of luck, man. You can catch What's
