So, um, 13 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: I've embraced that role in it. You know, it's really 14 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: been dope for me. Um.

And I feel great. I got a 26 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,839 Speaker 1: lot left in the tank. I'm one percent healthy. I've 27 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: taken about four years also thirty two, but I'm really 28 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: about you know, I'm a couple of years young. I'm 29 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: really twenty nine. All right, we'll give you that. Paul 30 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: likes to say he's twenty nine two, but he's not. 31 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: He is never oh, never grow over. Well, I'm glad 32 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: we have you here, while we have you here with 33 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: the full expectation you'll be catching on somewhere at some 34 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: point and you'll just do this from the road, so 35 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: it'll be fine, like Draymond and c. J McCollums, So 36 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: it'll be all good. I do want to talk about 37 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: one of your former teams to start, and y'all were 38 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: arguing about this before the cameras even started rolling, which 39 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: tells you how real this discussion is. All right, the 40 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: Bucks have won fourteen games in a row as we 41 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 1: all sit here. The Celtics they did lose on Monday, 42 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: so that actually put Milwaukee into first place. But god, 43 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: this is like as close as it can beat when 44 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: you compare these two teams championship chances. I want to 45 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: break down their starting five for you guys, So we 46 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: put the fives up here in the studio. Let's just 47 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: start with Boogie. Who's the best player on the court 48 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: when these when these ten guys are on the court. 49 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: We'll show him up on the screen too. When you 50 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: get these ten guys in the court, who's the best 51 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: player in the courts? Do you think that's true for sure? 52 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: I mean, then Yanna's the best player in the league. Okay, yeah, 53 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. He's the best. Burns was in 54 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: here the other day. I believe he said he thought 55 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: Jason was better. I mean, just the way Janni's affected Gay. 56 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,839 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm myself, I foul love the self. 57 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: I mean honestly, you know, honest as a two time MVP, 58 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: he's in his prime. He dominates both ends of the court. 59 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: I mean, nobody is doing the things he's doing on 60 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: both levels, on both sides of the ball equally like him. 61 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: So I'll give him the edge, all right, So Jhanna's 62 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: number one. Jason Tatum number two. We can all agree 63 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: who's the third best player on the court, best player, 64 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: Let not go there. Drew honestly think it's n I 65 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: told you, I told you. Yeah, I'm going with Drew Holliday. 66 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: Third best player on the floor, Drew Holiday. Question the 67 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: things I mean you play Drew. He hasn't been my teammates, 68 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: so I know from experience on one note, but the 69 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: things that this guy does on the court go unnoticed. 70 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: Like obviously we have a defensive Player of the Year, 71 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: Marcus Smart. But that's cool. But for me, it's like 72 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: levels and once you play these guys on a personal level, 73 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: you know, like man, I got Drew Holiday in front 74 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: of me today, or I got you know, a certain guy. 75 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: Drew Holiday is that type of guy where it may 76 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: not show up on the stas sheet, it may not 77 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: show up in the highlights, but you know you had 78 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: a long light in front of So if you if 79 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: you okay, Marcus murders on me versus Drew Holiday is 80 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: on me. Drew Holiday is the one that worries you 81 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: attacking and I'm not. And that's not taking any shots 82 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: at Marcus smokes the league Smarts. You're kind of guy. 83 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: So I know that you're not taking any shots at him. 84 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: He's just not Drew Holiday on the defensive. I mean, 85 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: I respect Drew, no doubt about it. I played against 86 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: Drew and and you know, I just like his mcgame 87 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: is mature. Even at this stage his career is still making. 88 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: He makes the All Star Game, and the third best 89 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 1: player is Jalen Brown. I mean he's younger, athletic, he's 90 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: entering his prime. Uh No, he's not a champion like Drew, 91 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: and he hasn't been in those moments. So I get 92 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: why you know, Boogie has say that because of the 93 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: moments that Drew has been in in the competition, and 94 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,679 Speaker 1: he has a respect around the league. I know that Drew. Everybody, 95 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: every guard say, you know, from guys like Chris Paul, 96 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: Damon Litterard, they all respect Drew. But I'm going with 97 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: the younger up and coming All Star Jayden Brown. So 98 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: that's a that's an advantage right there. They got the 99 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: third best player on the court when they match up, 100 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: all right, Well, he thinks that they had. Bookie thinks 101 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: that the Bucks have the first and third best player 102 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: in the court. You're saying that the second the Celtics. 103 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: I think they have the first and fourth, which makes 104 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: this a great match up, you know what I'm saying. 105 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: All Right, so you I'm sure, I'm sure, Book you 106 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: put Jalen Brown right after Drew, Right, Okay, So now 107 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: let's go to the other guys on the court. You've 108 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: got Al Horford, Robert Williams for the Celtics, right, yeah, okay, 109 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: for the Bucks. I'm waiting to see you. All right, 110 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: So look all right, look, so when you talk about 111 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: Brook Lopez Black Robert Williams, Yeah, Brook Lopez, Yeah, he 112 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: is the better player, but Robert Williams can defend him. 113 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: Like is he a better offensive player? Yeah, but Robert 114 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: Williams can defend him. You know who, that guy, Horford 115 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: can defend him. You know, brook Brook is nice, you 116 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: know who I know is nice. But they got defenders 117 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: for him, like he's not gonna dominate. I was going 118 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: to say that they got they got our Horford the defender, 119 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: Robert Williams the shop blocker. They got both. See what 120 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm saying, that's for sure, shopping. Yeah, our Horford is 121 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: a defender. I don't know it's our Horford going Brook 122 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: lopezers Horford going nice. They gonna you know how they 123 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: mix it up. Yeah, it's not a mixed up. That 124 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: mixed can change. Cain't nobody really guard dude, but you 125 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: can't trust it. But Harford gonna give more physicality. Henna, 126 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: he ain't gonna just run through him. And then when 127 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: he go by our Harford go through him. He gonna 128 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: go through and then and then Robert gonna be there 129 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: to beat that up. No, because brook Lopez is out 130 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: there spreading the floor shooting forty from the from the 131 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: that's where it gets tricky. Yeah, that's where then we're 132 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: gonna have to go with Grant Williams. Then we're gonna 133 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: have to go yo, yo. That's not gonna work against 134 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: jan and Bok can't nobody, can't nobody guard yall that. 135 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: So let's just say, let's just say nobody guard Yanna. 136 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna give him his thirty five. Okay, we can't 137 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: let him get eighteen. No, he will give you twenty. Now, 138 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: we can't let that out the season. The season, Brook 139 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: Lopez set, let's go, look, where is Chris Middleton in 140 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: this discussion? By we haven't got there yet. Really, you 141 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: think that all the guys you've talked about. Chris Middleton 142 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: is underneath on the list of best players on the floor, 143 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: the fifth best player. And the reason I'm saying I 144 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: can say that confidently in the reason why it's, you know, 145 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: Chris Bottle some energies. Yeah, he's gonna be a very 146 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: very important piece once the playffs twenty plus games to 147 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: get his rhythm. Yeah, once that that puzzles. An equation 148 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: changes one. I'm leaning towards Milwaukee, taking this out of 149 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: the e. But this the thing grays and nowan. Now 150 00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: what you're gonna do with him? How you gonna have 151 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: gonna do his job? How you gonna hide him? Hire him, hide? 152 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: Played with grace. You're gonna hide him? You don't what 153 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: you don't You're gonna have to hide? You gonna do it? 154 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: Who're gonna guard? Who he guard? Marcus Smart? All right, 155 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: pick and roll a Farcus comes at this pick I 156 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: got tay, Okay, switch you know how that side of 157 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: that game worked. Man, he's a lot. Were waiting for 158 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: the size. They're gonna be a lot. He's gonna be 159 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: a liability. They're gonna have to find somebody who can 160 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: these athletic six seven wins out here, he gonna he 161 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a liability and the show when they when 162 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: they played last year with the game seven, he caught 163 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: some of that forty piece that Tatum game. All right, 164 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: So if we get that again, no disrespect to Philadelphia, 165 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: but if we get in Eastern Conference finals, Buck Celtics, 166 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: who wins? I think whoever go no, no, no no, no, 167 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: who wins? Paul Pierce? I mean, I think, no, no, no, 168 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 1: this is this is this is styles make fights. You 169 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yes, whoever got the home court 170 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: advantage is gonna win. You really think that that's that deal? Yeah, 171 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: that's huge, that's agree. That is huge series. Okay, so 172 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: you think the Bucks. I think the Bucks are taking 173 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: I think we got our swag versus them last year. 174 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: I think it was a doubt before that year because 175 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: they put them out the playoffs. That gave you that 176 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 1: confidence though, like you know when you walk in the 177 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,599 Speaker 1: gym like we know we can you know you know 178 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: you know like when you when you match matter, it's 179 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: the same players. Man, think about this, when you when 180 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: you played and you knew who was guarding, you knew 181 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 1: you gave him buckets, right, I don't think they got 182 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: better from last year? Who subings? I mean the numbers 183 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: are better, what Malcolm broad Yeah? Personnel wise, they are 184 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: big benches. The benches improved as well. With your two 185 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: star guys, have they gotten better? Yeah, Jason TAM's averaging 186 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: thirty Yeah, the number their numbers have gone. Have they 187 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: gotten better with making people around them? That which has 188 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: always been the problem? Yeah, guys, gonna be you're talking 189 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: about you're talking about it, but who you want? What 190 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: you want? Two star players better from last year with 191 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: getting others involved in making them better. It's not about 192 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: making them better. The team is better because they got 193 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: the best record the league, regular season, in playoffs. Two 194 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: different stories. All right, Well, what I like about this 195 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: argument is that we're going to get to see I 196 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: can't wait to see the regular season. We're going to 197 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: get to Milwaukee. We got a bet. Okay, all right, 198 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: So what's the Milwaukee Celtics bet? What do you got dinner? 199 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: All right? So the three of us are going to 200 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: dinner and one of you is paying. Do you see? 201 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: How do you see how I did that? That was 202 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: fantastic And that's a vet move right there. I get 203 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: your take on Dallas as well, you guys, because the 204 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: Mavericks choked away that twenty seven point lead a few 205 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: days ago. Look, sometimes teams have bad nights, right, I 206 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't be talking about this days later except head coach 207 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: Jason Kidd, and I want to quote him exactly. This 208 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: is how he put it. He said, there's a deeper issue. 209 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: The team needs to grow up, was his quote. He 210 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: also noted that players are too busy arguing calls sometimes 211 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: while they're running back up the floor that you see 212 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: the shoulder slump when they don't think that they got 213 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: the right call, that kind of thing. Luca, of course, 214 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: has been criticized for this in the past. Luca was 215 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: asked about it after the game about what Jason said. 216 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: Luca said, well, I don't disagree with him, and I 217 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: don't know how they're going to eventually end up with Kyrie, 218 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: But right now, Luca and Kyrie together when they player 219 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: one in three. So that's sort of the Dallas situation. Paul, 220 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: if you heard your coach in public say this team 221 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: needs to grow up, you're a leader in your locker room, 222 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: what would your reaction have been. I mean, obviously that's 223 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: a shot at Luca. I mean, but he knows that 224 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: he's told this to Luca, because you don't, Luca got 225 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: to understand that as a leader of the team, that's 226 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: gonna filter down to the other players, you know what 227 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 1: I'm saying, And so he doing it all the time. 228 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: Other players feel like they and do it. I mean, 229 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: I think as far as the team goes, I think 230 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: they just need more time together to figure out the chemistry. 231 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not really worried about that earlier. You 232 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: I mean, of course you say Kyrie and Luka, You're like, 233 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: oh damn that that's gonna be lit. But their defense 234 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: is what they need to figure They can just turn 235 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: the defense around. They got to figure out how out 236 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: of score people. That's just where they gotta be. Okay. So, 237 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: but if you if you're a Luca and you have 238 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: been in that position on a team, and you hear that, 239 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 1: because you're right, Jason Kidd by the way he's been 240 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: around the way he does not say that publicly, if 241 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: he has not said it privately, a bunch, right, You 242 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: hear that publicly, you get angry, Do you get hurt? 243 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: Do you get determined? Do you get what? Do you get? 244 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: You respected it's coming from Jay Kidd Championship guard. Always 245 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: you respect, and what about arguing with the officials? Mister 246 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: demarcan gonna get into that territory. I mean you've obviously, look, 247 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: I covered you your whole career. You have had all 248 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: kinds of there's different kinds of run ins you've had 249 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: with referees, but this specific way of where you feel 250 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: you are not on the court getting the calls. And 251 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: I've seen you You've done some of that sometimes with 252 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: your shoulders slump and you're just you know, you're still 253 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: arguing as you go up the court. So what advice 254 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: do you have for Luca if you feel like because 255 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: Luca legit I've talked to Luca about this, He legit 256 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: feels he is not getting the calls he should get 257 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: and I can, I can relate. And with that being said, 258 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: it's it's just really got to get to a point 259 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: where you eventually just get over because it's gonna happen. 260 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: It's gonna every game they're gonna miss called right. And 261 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: as a player, I know how it is on both 262 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: sides because it's like a ship is frustrating the tail. 263 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: I was having this conversation earlier. It's where it's like 264 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: somebody is telling you to let somebody punch in the 265 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: face ten times and you should just ignore it. Is 266 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: that what it feels like? It does like that, just 267 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: ignore it? Right? Well, this is happening every day, right 268 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: at what point am I? You know? So? But that 269 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: being said, finding a way to get over it and 270 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: keeping the main going a mind, which is winning the game. 271 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: And the only way you can win the game is 272 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: when you're best player. It's locked. But I will say this, 273 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: it becomes an issue when you lose. When you're winning, 274 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: nobody is talking about that, right you know what I'm saying, 275 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: fact like that's but it contributes to losing. Yeah, But 276 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: like I mean, you know I see Lebron always at 277 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: the refs. Yeah, you know, he's a winner, So nobody 278 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: really say nothing about Len doing that a lot. So 279 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: you know, when you in a position where you have 280 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: a one yet or you're you're losing games, then it 281 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: gets magnified. We all know that, right Well, I mean, look, 282 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: they're still gonna be one of the most interesting teams 283 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: to watch down the stretch. I don't think Dallas is 284 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: a finished product like the like think think I think 285 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: they found the two core guys in Luke and Kyle 286 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: and that this and for the next two years they're 287 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: going to be trying to build a championship contender. Right, 288 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: This isn't a finished product. This is the discussion we're 289 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: going to have in a couple of months is can 290 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: they keep Kyrie Irving? But that's a discussion for another day, 291 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: my friend. That's why you subscribe to the Watts Burning podcast. 292 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: It's like Lakers, you know, I'm thinking Phoenix, let's go 293 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: back to the East because they do want to hit 294 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: the Hawks. Nate McMillan has moved on. They have moved 295 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: on from Nate McMillan, and they have hired Quinn Snyder. Quinn, 296 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: as we know, let the Jazz six straight playoff appearances, 297 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: Atlanta's thirty one and thirty. They sit at eighth in 298 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: the East. If you're Quinn Snyder and you're coming in, 299 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: is there anything in particular that you think, Okay, I'm 300 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: gonna change this and this will help us at least 301 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: somewhat this year. Well, I mean, Quinn has got to 302 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: adapt to his stars, Okay, you know, like that's how 303 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: the league is. I saw it was always gonna be 304 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: you gotta coach predicated on how your stars play. So 305 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: it's okay, we're gonna get the ball to Jonathan Murray 306 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: and Trey Young and let him go. Right now, it's 307 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: too late in the season to put a whole new system. 308 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: You're gonna put some wrinkles and things, yeah, and stuff, 309 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: and maybe some things you can do defensively. But sometimes 310 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: a new coach, you know, to write was on the 311 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: wall up for late McMillan, because when Trey Young, when 312 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: your star player is like sitting down, he quitting all 313 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: you and doing all this stuff, sometimes that new coach 314 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: bring a breath of fresh air and they look like 315 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: a better team actually, as I've seen the last couple 316 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: of games, and so sometimes that helps, and I think 317 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: they will be better. I think quinnill come in and 318 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: you know, pig it back off with Paul said, obviously 319 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: this year it is what it is. They'll finish out 320 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: however they finish out. But I do feel like it 321 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: would be a system put in place, a system that 322 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: that's positive for everybody involved the whole start in five, 323 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing for them and what kind 324 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: of changed for them being a good and bad team is. 325 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: I felt like they kind of lost the big fella 326 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: in John Collins. He's been in trade rumors every year. 327 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: We as players know what that's like. It can it 328 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: can bother you confidence, it can it can bother your rhythm, 329 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: it can put you in the fund. And me personally, 330 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: I am a fan of a big fella. I think 331 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: he's very talent, and I think he's an important piece 332 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: to them, you know, getting over that hunt to becoming 333 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: becoming that winning team. So I think Quinna do a 334 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: good job with, you know, finding the place for him 335 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: within that offense because obviously you're two heads of a 336 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: snake or Trey Young and John Murray, so fixing that corps. 337 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: I think they're being the right path. I mean, there's 338 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: a lot, I think left to leak out from Atlanta. 339 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: There's a story someone's gonna tell in a year or 340 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: two about everything that went on in that locker room 341 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: over the last year or so. Nick mc millan super 342 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: respected coach around the league. But what is it like 343 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: when you don't get along with the coach or there's 344 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: more getting behind the scenes than people know. Man, this 345 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: is a players league, right, you got It's a new 346 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: age it's a new day. These new stars, they ain't playing. 347 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: If you ain't getting along with your star player, you 348 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: out of there, Because I mean, who's selling the tickets 349 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: ain't the coach. Who's selling the jersey, who're making the 350 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: All Star games, It ain't the coach. And so that's 351 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: the most important thing, having that relationship with your star players. 352 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: And when that's when I started crump, and I've seen 353 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: it over so many years of being in the league, 354 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: And when you don't get that relationship with your star players, 355 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: then you might as well put one foot out the 356 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: door because it's coming, that access coming, and you know, 357 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: whatever whatever was going on between them. Shoot, once I 358 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: saw that writing on the wall when he didn't step 359 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: out there in that game, when that practice, I was 360 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: like so over for him. Yeah, he didn't come. Trade 361 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: did not come to the introductory press conference. R quinn Snyder. 362 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,479 Speaker 1: I don't know. At some point are we reading too 363 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: much into too much? I mean he might have, you know, 364 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: been taking care of his kids or something. I adam 365 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: no idea, so they don't have to come to that. 366 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: We'll see. We'll see um all right here in La 367 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: closer to home. Just when things look like they were 368 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: getting better for the Los Angeles Lakers. Oh, Man, Lebron 369 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: is out indefinitely with a foot injury. And look, I 370 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: know Lebron's injury was a heartbreak moment for a lot 371 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: of Lakers fans. But the man is thirty eight years old, 372 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: and while he is clearly still near the top of 373 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: his game setting record, thirty eight year olds are not 374 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: as durable as twenty eight year olds. And I want 375 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: to throw you guys some numbers. Over Lebron's first fifteen seasons, 376 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: he missed seventy one games total. In the last five 377 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: seasons with the Lakers, he's missed ninety eight games and counting, 378 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: of course, because we got these games coming up. So, Boggie, 379 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: you're only thirty two, but you've dealt with a lot 380 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: of injury issues. Paul, you're very old and you retired 381 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: when you were thirty nine, so you went through this 382 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of what Lebron is going out. What 383 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: is it like for both of you guys when you 384 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: are used to your body being durable and that it's 385 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: not anymore. Man, it's a reality check. Yeah, sure, because 386 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: you know you can go through consistently for years and 387 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: kind of developed his mindset that you you know you're 388 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: invincible until you experienced that at first. Heartbreaking is like 389 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: I said, the reality kicks in. But that's still separate 390 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: from the guy we're talking about, Like he he's the 391 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: prime example of longevity. Yeah, and I mean with all greatness, 392 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: you know, it comes to an end eventually. And you know, 393 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but this guy is thirty eight. 394 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: He's been around the league for twenty years, and you 395 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: know his end is coming in. So this is just 396 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: a product of you know, his end and come. Yeah. 397 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: I mean it's tough that I remember at thirty eight, 398 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: it was just tough for me getting off the bed. 399 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: I used to have to put shoes on just to 400 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: go to the bathroom. What does it mean, I'm sorry, 401 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: I'm clearly missing something. What does that mean you have 402 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: to put shoes on the PLANTI fasciitis. Tell me they 403 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: were at least slides, real tennis shoe serious air force 404 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 1: ones right there next to the bed. Are you serious? 405 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: I'm dead serious. It was a couple of years I 406 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: had to put right next to the bed just to gout, 407 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: just to walk ten steps to the bathroom barefoot. It's 408 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: the same way for me with achilles can walk sneakers 409 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: in the house. Yeah, I couldn't walk floors with my 410 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: feet were too sensitive for the floors. Yeah. See these 411 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: things I didn't know because I am five foot four, 412 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: and we'll never have these problems. M No. I mean 413 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: the reason why I'm asking a little bit about this 414 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: is that we have this image. To your point, we 415 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: have this image about Lebron is sort of just kind 416 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: of undestructible, right, I mean he even has ad campaigns 417 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: where it's like Lebron versus Father Time and Lebron wins 418 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: like all that stuff. I think you have to be realistic, 419 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: like here's a little here's a fancy graphic that Nate Bronson, 420 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: our producer, like, you have to be realistic about where 421 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: how many games Lebron can play a season now, right, 422 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it is what it is. I 423 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: think too, this is the time where they like, look, 424 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: Lebron wants to play for championships. Yes, and he pushed himself. 425 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: He played through this injury that we've been hearing about. Yes, 426 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, all the way through and he's at the 427 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: point he passed the Korean record. I know that was 428 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: an important thing for him. So he pushed through those injuries, 429 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: and it's like at the point in the season to 430 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: where he like, you know what, I'm not good with 431 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: just fighting just to make the play in game or 432 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs. You know, I'm not gonna put my body 433 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: through this because he's looking down the road now. So 434 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: let's just say he played through it and they make 435 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,479 Speaker 1: the play and he's not playing for that. So he's like, 436 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna get my body all the 437 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: way hill. There's no need for me to push through 438 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: this just to make the play in. We're not a 439 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: championship team. I see. I'm gonna disagree with you. I 440 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: think he thinks if they can get into the play 441 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: in and he's playing, he thinks they can beat anyone 442 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: that is. I mean, I've heard him say it. I 443 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: mean you you worked out for that team recently. Do 444 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: you think, Boogie, that the Lakers have the grit to 445 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 1: first of all, keep maintaining without him and then whenever 446 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: he does come back, if they get't get into the 447 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: play in gat do they have the grit without Lebron? 448 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: I don't think no. I don't think so. I think 449 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: he's the engine to that team, which is crazy to 450 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: say because he's literally the holdest gun team. But do 451 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: they have the grid? I don't think they do. We 452 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: saw Anthony have a step up earlier in the season 453 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: on Lebron speaking about town. I know your words. Great, 454 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: it was grit. Isn't something that I see from that 455 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: Laker team? All right? Well another about Lebron? All right, 456 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: well it's another topic we'll shell for a future What's 457 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: Burning episode is if they don't make the playoffs. To 458 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: your point about he's playing for championships, just this effects 459 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: Lebron in LA. We'll talk about that down the road too. 460 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: Time for on the Raidar presented by Draft Kings Sports Books. See, 461 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: there's so much ahead for us on What's burn and 462 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: you just got to hang out every week with us 463 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: UM Pacific Division. Let's talk about them because hottest in 464 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: the NBA, right Sons, Kings, Clippers, Warriors, and yes, the Lakers. 465 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: Every single team could possibly make some noise in the 466 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: playoffs depending on Lebron's injury. Here are the Draft Kings 467 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: odds and which one of those teams is going to 468 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: end up with the best record. Right now, the Kings 469 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: have a three game lead over the Suns. But of 470 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: course Phoenix is just adding KD guys. So right now 471 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: draft Kings has the Sun is the favorite to win 472 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: the division and the King's next. I'm going with a 473 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: sack they for real. I'm telling a young kid, Fox, 474 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: it's a bonus. They ain't playing if you're going to 475 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: cycle on the back to back them young boys. By Jim, 476 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I like to see. At first, you know, 477 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,959 Speaker 1: it took a while, but night, I'm I'm convinced that, 478 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: like Sacramento is a tough team and they they've been 479 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: showing it consistently all year, and Mike Brown has really 480 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: done a great job, tremendous job. What do you think 481 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: of your old team? Uh, I think they're super talented. UM, 482 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,719 Speaker 1: young team, full of energy, full of excitement. You can 483 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: tell they enjoy playing with one another. You can tell 484 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: they have fun. UM. As far as them being topping 485 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 1: the division, I could see that happening because it is 486 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: regular season. UM, basically a regular season. The way you 487 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: win regular season is consistency and playing hard. Right, whatever 488 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: team does that, they're going to be the top of 489 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 1: it the conference. But um, in health obviously, but those 490 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: three things they've done all year and I think they'll 491 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: continue to do that. So I could see the King's 492 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: coming out on the top of that division. You were 493 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,959 Speaker 1: attached to Sacramento, I mean I remember you. I mean 494 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: you literally bled for that city. You bled for that team, 495 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: and I think sometimes when guys move on, especially if 496 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: there's any controversy, that people forget that a little bit. 497 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you played your heart out for those fans. 498 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: So to see that team now doing well, to see 499 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: the light, the beam and the excitement and all of that, 500 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: how does they feel for you? It's dope. I'm just 501 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: happy for the city and the fans because they really 502 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: deserve it. Like that's that's an incredible fan base. They 503 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: literally they're the definition of like sticking through it with 504 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 1: through thick and thins. Yeah, um, Cowboys, Coyle Bill's ringing 505 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: with you know, ten wins in the seasons. Yeah, incredible 506 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: fan base. They're more than deserving. Um. So I'm excited 507 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: for him. I'm excited to see where this team goes 508 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: as well. Be interesting. Obviously, I'm a Fox fam you know, yeah, 509 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: Monk too, that was my UK brothers. Yeah, do that, 510 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: I think, I think, I mean, I know a lot 511 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: of people think, oh, well, you know, look in the playoffs, 512 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: we don't know. You got to be battle tested, and 513 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: sometimes the team has to go first round loss to learn. 514 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: But I still think that they could be dangerous in 515 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Released around. No, we'll see how thin the 516 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: benches shake it. Deppens, Oh yes, yes, and we've got 517 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: teams at the bottom of the West bracket who could 518 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: potentially turn it on for the playoffs in a way 519 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: that we have not seen in a long time. So 520 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: we will see. If they get Dallas, they're pop Dallas. 521 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: They end up with like Golden State. I'm like, oh no, 522 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: they'll pop Dallas. Yeah, Sack will yeah in his face? 523 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: Can we show his famdon Luca? Nobody? So who's playing 524 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: defensive side? I know one thing, Dallas is not playing Lodi. 525 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 1: I'm not and and and and sat can't out sport Dallas. 526 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: Yeah they can't. They were gonna see we don't get 527 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: back to Sacramento. Just played the second most a game 528 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: where the second most points in NBA playoffs. I mean, 529 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: somebody score will send me the playoffs. Yeah, it doesn't matter. 530 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see. Legendary moments brought to you by 531 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: Top Shot The NBA Top Shot fifty is a list 532 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: of the fifty players who define the twenty twenty two 533 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three season. See I said that all all 534 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: very smoothly. I just wanted a credit for that. Um. 535 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: This was voted on and chosen by the NBA Players Association. 536 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: So this is what players think of their fellow players. 537 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 1: They think these are the top fifty, and they've been 538 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: doing it in chunks. So here's the chunk they just released. Lebron, 539 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: Jannis Dame, Damar Yogic, bam Aunt, Tyrese, Haliburton, Fox, and 540 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: Lowry Marken In. So, Paul, those ten players, who do 541 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: you think has had the best moment highlight of the season, 542 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: just just like the one moment that stands out that's easy. 543 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: I mean Lebron moment. I mean he passed the score. 544 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: I mean that's like, hands down, like nobody thought that 545 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: record would go. And I don't think nobody's ever gonna 546 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: pass Broun because he gonna push he gonna push that 547 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: out to about forty thousand. So you gotta be think 548 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: about this. Lebron's in his twentieth season, he averaging so 549 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: you gotta average twenty eight for twenty seasons. So Luca 550 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: right now, if you compare Luca how long Lucas played 551 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: so far with that same number of seasons into Lebron's career, 552 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: Luca could break it, but Luca would have to play 553 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: as long as Lebron he does without the health issues. Yeah, twinning, 554 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: but his athletics and Broun is one of the great athletes. 555 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: So when Luca think about Luke only like what twenty four, 556 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: he not that athletics. So when he gets about be 557 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: like thirty, he's gonna be slower than he is. Now. 558 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: When you say Luca is not athletic, it's not as 559 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: athletic person. He's athletic, but he's not the athlete Bron 560 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: is to maintain this for the next year, he is 561 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: not the athlete. He's not gonna have to. He's gonna 562 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: have a long prime. Let's say Luca prime last fourteen years, 563 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: not even not even Yeah, Ron is still prime. Discipline, yeah, 564 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: and the work ethic. Yeah. I don't see that. It's 565 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: more to it than just scoring basket. Yeah. He gonna 566 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: have to get on hes gonna have to get off 567 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: that Hookah he get we talking about. I really enjoyed 568 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: his health plan earlier this season when he scored all 569 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: those points and then he said he needed a recovery. Beer, 570 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: I could relate to the finally a moment Luca don 571 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: chat that I could relate to. Ye, So, boogie, who 572 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: is your top moments? You agree that was? I agree 573 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: with Lebron. That's that's a stone we'll probably never see 574 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: anytime soon. So yeah, that's definitely the highlight of the year. 575 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: I can say I was in the building and just 576 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: that every basket he made, the energy just went up 577 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: and up and up, and it felt like it was 578 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: going to explode. I mean, I say, everyone but Anthony 579 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: Davis was on their feet, so I mean it was quite. 580 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: It was quite a moment.

As we sit here today, 593 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: San Antonio has lost sixteen in a row. That's not 594 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: from that's coming from upstairs. That is that women Yamba 595 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: watch exactly. Well, look, this is the team David Robinson 596 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: got hurt, right, they had a not good season, and 597 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: you know what happened the last next year is they 598 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: drafted Tim Duggans. So this is they've they've done this before. Yeah, uh, 599 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: I don't have quite have that David Robinson to come 600 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: back to Yeah, I don't. I don't know. I don't know. 601 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: If I sure hope you don't go to Houston. I 602 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: was gonna say, so, where would you like to see 603 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: him go? Because you've also got let's see him go 604 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: to Charlotte's. That's gonna say so. Charlotte is an amount 605 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: in a position where you've got LaMelo Ball fracturing his 606 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: right ankle. He is out for the rest of the 607 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: season right now. They have that right, But right now 608 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: Charlotte has the fourth worst record in the league. But 609 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: you got to think that make drop a little over 610 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: the last twenty five games, so they'll be in that 611 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: that group that could have really good lottery odds. I 612 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: don't know. You've got Charlotte Detroit, San Antonio, Houston. Where 613 00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: would you like to see Victor Um, we're from a fansample, Yeah, 614 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: the game. I would love to see him with Charlotte. 615 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: You know, ball with Anollo. I think that that that 616 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: combo would be very entertaining. But if I'm the young 617 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: kid and I'm thinking about myself in this situation, I 618 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: see the Spurs as far as maximizing the potential and 619 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: getting the best out of the situation, I would say 620 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: San Antonio because of the team or because you're playing 621 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: cold culture, Uh, the track record. Like if I'm a 622 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: player coming in and you know, that's one thing a 623 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: lot of young guys, and you know, just fans in general, 624 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: they don't understand the importance of the organization coming in. 625 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: It can make a break your career. Yeah. So with 626 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: that being said, Um, from a you know, personal standpoint, 627 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: I would want to see him with the Spurs. What 628 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: do you think about the idea that he'd be better 629 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: off what he's saying, um, But on the flip side, 630 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: you know how much longer is Pop gonna be there? 631 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: Is that gonna expand extend pops coaching because they get 632 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: victory stay a sense that you know, Pop maybe running 633 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: to step into a different role or just retire. He's 634 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: been around a long time and I see him step 635 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: in the row. Yeah, maybe go upstairs like like Brass 636 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: Stevens or something, or just completely He's He's got a 637 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: lot of basketball in them, man. You know it's being 638 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: good hands though when I'm in front office, Yeah, yeah, 639 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: but uh where he gonna get the most development and 640 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: the most excitement, It's gonna be sharp for development. Well, 641 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: I mean I don't excitement for well. I think they're 642 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:35,959 Speaker 1: gonna let him go a little more like lit him 643 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: make the mistakes. That's true, you know what I'm saying. 644 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: Like I think when you in San Antonio, Pop, it's 645 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: just you gotta be just like strictly winning. It's just 646 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: like you gotta be a certain way tim here. They're 647 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: gonna let you, you know, do that, you know, develop 648 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: over there and play through it. You know. And if 649 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: he does go to Houston, whist got too many gunners 650 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: over there no discipline over there. I wouldn't want to 651 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: go there if I'm him. I think that are just 652 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 1: being circulating.
