Speaker 1: Well, well, well look who's come crawling back for some
Speaker 1: more mad boosties. This is Brian the Editor, that guy
Speaker 1: that Miles likes to yell at. And while the guys
Speaker 1: are taking it easy, I decided to whip up a
Speaker 1: little best of Rapid Fire twenty twenty four featuring Warren Shaw,
Speaker 1: Lena Washington, Jasmine Watkins, Dan Favale, Jason Timp and Dragonfly Jones.
Speaker 2: Enjoy Lena Washington.
Speaker 3: Allst Our Weekend is coming up just very very soon.
Speaker 4: Give me your all time Fantasy Dunk Contest lineup.
Speaker 5: You're picking four dunkers anytime, anytime.
Speaker 6: Time, anytime.
Speaker 7: Well, I have to go Vince Carter, just because it's
Speaker 7: Vince Carter.
Speaker 6: Well, he existed, he graced a basketball court.
Speaker 7: He has a pretty decent vertical, so I would assume
Speaker 7: he would be able to.
Speaker 6: Add some.
Speaker 3: Vince Carter. Yeah, okay, harder, but not Prince Harder.
Speaker 5: When he was passing around some highlights from his rookie
Speaker 5: season and just like some of the dunks, like he
Speaker 5: was doing some of the dunks that he did in
Speaker 5: that dunk contest, like in game.
Speaker 4: Game as a rookie is like wild as he should.
Speaker 4: We have to keep this segment moving.
Speaker 7: So okay, so number two of four, I guess maybe
Speaker 7: Aaron Gordon, so that he could pair of super elaborate
Speaker 7: dunk contest like performance where it's like the drone goes
Speaker 7: from Lucas Oil Stadium and then drops the basketball into
Speaker 7: the you know, to the arena, and then the led
Speaker 7: court lights up and all this stuff and then you know,
Speaker 7: the pacers mass Scott comes in and he jumps over
Speaker 7: him while doing a full three sixty like active turn
Speaker 7: and then losing again.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I think that would be for these dunks
Speaker 5: designed by Doc Brown from you know.
Speaker 4: That that recent that recent hit film from the nineteen Goldberg. Okay,
Speaker 4: you got to Who's four two?
Speaker 7: Feel obligated to say, Lebron James just because Miles, you
Speaker 7: could be a part of it.
Speaker 6: He could just like walk up to and over you
Speaker 6: and then just.
Speaker 3: Say yeah or hold me like a baby and be
Speaker 3: like and be like you're my yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah he rocked rocks the cradle, but it's me
Speaker 4: in his arms and then throws me through the hoop
Speaker 4: and I don't have serious injury from it.
Speaker 6: What's what the medics are involved? But this is again
Speaker 6: just like envisioning this Mountains of Dunk.
Speaker 7: Specifically and like who would be able to execute them best?
Speaker 6: And then maybe if there's.
Speaker 7: Some backstory or contacts that would add to the of
Speaker 7: the show. So only if files is involved in Lebron's
Speaker 7: done what I want you?
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 5: Pronounced pizzas?
Speaker 8: But okay, and the fourth before, uh you know, how
Speaker 8: about what was his name?
Speaker 7: Was?
Speaker 8: It was it?
Speaker 6: Uh Mac McClung. Who wanted the other?
Speaker 5: Was that his name?
Speaker 6: Mac?
Speaker 8: How can?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Was that last time? Shoot? Yeah it was? It was.
Speaker 6: Flies when you're you're sipping the Mac mcclum kool aid.
Speaker 3: I know, you know?
Speaker 5: Is that I don't I don't know what happened, and
Speaker 5: I haven't followed his career. Uh, Lena, Unfortunately you did
Speaker 5: not best five years for Vince Carter, so it will
Speaker 5: be modern day Vince Carter and the Dunk contest. Unfortunately,
Speaker 5: so I think it's still it'd still be good.
Speaker 6: Still got it?
Speaker 5: Yeah? All right? So yeah that was good. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 5: it was not fast enough, but you nailed it. Anyways,
Speaker 5: it was it was highly entertaining. What school yard game
Speaker 5: do you want to see added to the All Star weekend?
Speaker 5: It can be you know, I think we said we
Speaker 5: were saying the Pro Bowl, we've we've seen due dodgeball
Speaker 5: and a tug of war. What game would you like
Speaker 5: to see NBA players compete against one another?
Speaker 7: I'll give I'll give three, okay, just because I can't choose,
Speaker 7: and I know, I know this is like a really
Speaker 7: like I have to answer quickly.
Speaker 6: I just wanted to be really thorough. So the first
Speaker 6: of the four square.
Speaker 7: Because I know athlete can be very competitive.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well our.
Speaker 7: Games and you got to play house rules your cherry popcorn?
Speaker 5: Popcorn? What are we talking that? Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, so so that I read, imagine just see the
Speaker 7: pure violence of being clotheslined by running at full speed
Speaker 7: into your friends. Maybe some broken maybe on bones popping out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it could be like that Last Survivor show where
Speaker 5: all of the like most powerful people in the government
Speaker 5: get blown up and Keeper Sutherland is like the guy
Speaker 5: who is designated survivor, and like it would be the
Speaker 5: NBA version that where all the best players just have
Speaker 5: their arms like ripped out of their sockets. And so
Speaker 5: it's like macmcu long is leading the league in scoring
Speaker 5: in the playoffs.
Speaker 7: Team and then the third I would probably want to see,
Speaker 7: is teather.
Speaker 10: Ball each other?
Speaker 3: Oh wow?
Speaker 6: More of a controlled environment. Yeah, so it really takes
Speaker 6: skill focus. I would liken it to like.
Speaker 7: A tennis match, so it's just you and no coaching allowed,
Speaker 7: and it's just a ball on a string and your
Speaker 7: opponent and you're just trying to see who's going to
Speaker 7: of wind that rode around that hole faster. So I
Speaker 7: would say those three red rovert, courseware and tether ball
Speaker 7: need to become Olympic sports by twenty eight.
Speaker 4: We just have this from the judges. Lean you got
Speaker 4: two of the three right. Unfortunately we can't tell you
Speaker 4: which one was wrong. But I do have to ask
Speaker 4: you this question, which I think you can get right.
Speaker 4: Who's the greatest Sons player ever? And who's the most underrated.
Speaker 3: Sons player of your fandom?
Speaker 7: I mean, I have to say Charles Berkley is my
Speaker 7: favorite Sons player ever, from what he meant to the city,
Speaker 7: what he did when he was part of the team,
Speaker 7: to now, you know, actually claiming the valley and claiming
Speaker 7: this team underrated.
Speaker 5: M hm.
Speaker 7: You know in line of his retirement, Goran Dragic the
Speaker 7: Dragon himself, I will say he didn't.
Speaker 6: Get a lot of love, but he was an.
Speaker 7: Instrumental figure and some some fun teams to watch out here.
Speaker 7: So maybe that's recency bias, but just thinking about him
Speaker 7: hanging it up and then just remembering his times here
Speaker 7: and you know, bringing his twin.
Speaker 6: Brother along also for some of those rides. Those will
Speaker 6: be my two.
Speaker 3: So you're gonna get the throwback you have.
Speaker 7: You have a drug show when I have a Sean
Speaker 7: Marrion throwback jersey. So that was pretty cool?
Speaker 6: Is yeah?
Speaker 7: His his number in Jersey retired in the Ring of Honor.
Speaker 7: So yeahr Stotto Meyer's next. So, uh, you're in Phoenix,
Speaker 7: come check it out.
Speaker 3: I will bring my goggles.
Speaker 5: Ck oh my favorite show.
Speaker 3: Have you seen?
Speaker 5: He has the funniest takes on just the stuff that's
Speaker 5: I just keep I keep saying to myself, can he.
Speaker 3: Say you guy's got something, This guy's got something? Should
Speaker 3: you go first? Check or show I go?
Speaker 5: I would love to go first. Miles, Thank you for asking.
Speaker 3: You were very welcome.
Speaker 5: Jazz. You could have any player's skill set for a day,
Speaker 5: but it has to be a non basketball skill. Who
Speaker 5: are you picking him? What skill?
Speaker 3: Oh, like Rondo's like roller skating ability or.
Speaker 5: Rondo's roller skating Steph Curry's golf swing one of the pest. Yeah,
Speaker 5: Waymintondale's base.
Speaker 11: Oh oh wait wait wait wait? Who played saxophone? Somebody
Speaker 11: plays a really mean.
Speaker 5: That was Bill Clinton? He was the president. No, I
Speaker 5: get I always think Bill Clinton was in the NBA too.
Speaker 11: No, I want to say. I want to say David Robinson,
Speaker 11: David Racks. Somebody plays the phone from Maxic Johnson and
Speaker 11: I think it was like.
Speaker 3: A oh David Rockin.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, wow, we got to go in the vault
Speaker 4: for that one.
Speaker 5: Hold on here it is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, look at Magic. You got a tear in his
Speaker 4: eye like he just watched the Lakers player or something.
Speaker 3: Anyway, that's beautiful. That's a beautiful answer. Are you a
Speaker 3: musician though, No, but you yeah, Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 3: That makes sense.
Speaker 4: Okay, Jasmine, we got a time machine, but it's a
Speaker 4: Lakers specific time machine, and you can go back in
Speaker 4: time to see any of these moments I'm about to
Speaker 4: give you.
Speaker 3: Choose one.
Speaker 4: Magic's game winner, baby skyhooking, Game four at the Garden
Speaker 4: in eighty seven, Game seven twenty ten, you know what
Speaker 4: time it is, and also the Lakers title game in
Speaker 4: the bubble, verst the heat.
Speaker 3: Those are you three options? Where are you taking the time.
Speaker 11: Machine twenty ten?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Easy, yep, yep.
Speaker 5: It still chasing that feeling.
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, still chasing that still.
Speaker 2: Chasing that feeling.
Speaker 5: Okay, next over the Celtics. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I mean.
Speaker 4: Look, they they they gave it to us, and we
Speaker 4: said to say, okay, let me regroup real quick.
Speaker 3: I think we got something for you. We got something
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, you do have COVID antibodies and you're able to
Speaker 5: spread COVID back in twenty ten, So time traveling there
Speaker 5: was the wrong answer. You've started the pandemic ten years earlier.
Speaker 2: Messed up.
Speaker 5: That's keep questions. Yeah, all right, more likely to happen.
Speaker 5: And why Pacers Eastern Conference Final run or Clippers Western
Speaker 5: Conference Finals run?
Speaker 11: Pacers? I think Halliburt they got the Kaylen Clark magic
Speaker 11: around them, and I don't think the world is ready
Speaker 11: to see or we're not ready for Caliburn's outfits to
Speaker 11: leave us, so he can't be out. He needed some
Speaker 11: more games, yea, And I will never pick Clippers no
Speaker 11: matter what.
Speaker 3: Right that makes that makes sense, That makes sense.
Speaker 5: Wait would they who are they playing the second round?
Speaker 5: Are the Pacers playing the Celtics second round? Or are
Speaker 5: they playing the Knicks?
Speaker 3: Oh? They are playing whatever Nick Nicks.
Speaker 5: All right, yeah I can see that. I can assuming
Speaker 5: you know the Sixers don't come back. Mm hmm right, yeah,
Speaker 5: tried to. Did you see him? You're crazy and assume that.
Speaker 10: His eyes inside It's fine.
Speaker 3: His eyes did the bone Thugs thing again?
Speaker 5: Just one black? He didn't where am I?
Speaker 4: And in this version his uncle Charles was Barkley when
Speaker 4: you played on the Sixers?
Speaker 3: Wrong'll y'all, Jasmine.
Speaker 4: I want to show you some fantastic nineties throwback jerseys.
Speaker 4: Pick your top three from these coveted, coveted, iconic basketball
Speaker 4: jersey designs from the nineties.
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm gonna go hornets, Okay, Larry Johnson's Larry Johnson
Speaker 5: era pinstripes t L pin stripes, great.
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is tough.
Speaker 11: I'm gonna go magic. I'm trying not to be all pinstripey.
Speaker 3: But wow, yeah, it is iconic.
Speaker 5: The pins shack yeah, shat era b royal blue with
Speaker 5: pin stripes.
Speaker 11: I would say bulls, but I'm not gonna go three
Speaker 11: pin stripes. I'm gonna go Sixers just because that was
Speaker 11: a golden era of six Ers jerseys.
Speaker 5: Yeah, great Sixers jersey iverson era basketball swooshing By. There's
Speaker 5: something going on with the I. I forget what. It's
Speaker 5: got a star on. It got a star.
Speaker 6: That's all.
Speaker 11: That made me very sad because I'm thinking about like
Speaker 11: Sixers now, no shade like ta Wolves now, all the
Speaker 11: jerseys suck.
Speaker 5: Jerseys aren't aren't the best, not the best and can get.
Speaker 11: Timberwolves from from whatever they got on now it's too
Speaker 11: clean like that KG ruggedness.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, like I want to I want to picture
Speaker 4: Steffan in that thing, like is that Yeah, it's well,
Speaker 4: it's funny too because like the best jerseys like every
Speaker 4: year are when they're like we're bringing that one back
Speaker 4: from the nineties. You're like, yo, like I got like
Speaker 4: I got the Grizzly I got a Grizzlies jersey because
Speaker 4: they did the Vancouver one.
Speaker 5: Oh oh.
Speaker 4: Because at the time I was also a big Sharif
Speaker 4: abdoor Raheem fan too, was kind of nostalgic for me.
Speaker 3: But anyway, look, see just ask me, we got to
Speaker 3: keep this going, Jack, Do.
Speaker 2: You have a sorry question? Another question.
Speaker 5: Yeah, our final question, what is the one moment or
Speaker 5: game from NBA history that you wish Twitter had been
Speaker 5: around for obviously pre to thousand and whatever, year nine
Speaker 5: or six.
Speaker 11: Yeah, just for the discourse. I know it's an easy one,
Speaker 11: but I would go Finals Jazz Bulls, Jordan's push off
Speaker 11: Diddy Didney, Oh, because I would want to see everybody
Speaker 11: dissect that plane.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and to obliviate.
Speaker 5: Be flu game conspiracy theories right away.
Speaker 11: You know it was pizza, but yeah, yeah, you see
Speaker 11: it's so much drama around that.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Jordan's not the goat that would have also
Speaker 5: been the big Yeah.
Speaker 4: Could you imagine some clowns just like saying that with
Speaker 4: their whole chest. You're like, yeah, okay, yeah, well you
Speaker 4: know what, I'm gonna save this tweet for twenty years exactly.
Speaker 5: It's Bob Cousy.
Speaker 3: It's Bob Coosy always was.
Speaker 5: George Might.
Speaker 6: Unfair shade.
Speaker 11: He was good, and I just feel like everybody him
Speaker 11: because he is not as good as the generation is
Speaker 11: coming after him obviously.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just like thee of him
Speaker 5: dribbling around like it looks like he had just invented
Speaker 5: dribbling like fifteen seconds before that clip, he's.
Speaker 12: Like, look at what I can do with the ball.
Speaker 5: Yeah, spinning, spinning around.
Speaker 4: That always shows you like like why, Like you know,
Speaker 4: when we started the show, it's always about like the
Speaker 4: game is always evolving like forward and getting better and
Speaker 4: better and better, and like that's where we start. And
Speaker 4: look at where we're at now with like the kind
Speaker 4: of stuff we see Aunt do and everybody.
Speaker 3: Ah, anyway, it's it's good times. It's good times for
Speaker 3: the neutral. And I now declare myself a netrol.
Speaker 5: To be a neutral and an hour and just come
Speaker 5: to the light.
Speaker 12: Now, come to the light now, and we're back.
Speaker 5: Warrenshaw.
Speaker 4: Oh, well, I think you're maybe you're you're you're my
Speaker 4: favorite Celtics fan.
Speaker 3: I gotta say, you know, because because.
Speaker 5: Not tough competition man Love.
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, I think you're my favorite child and my
Speaker 9: own child.
Speaker 5: You or Donnie Wahlberg.
Speaker 3: Wasn't Donnie at the game the other night?
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: But anyway, it is time for the fourth quarter rapid
Speaker 4: fire rout of questioning. This is the fastest question answer
Speaker 4: segment in all sports podcasting history. Warren, you've done this before.
Speaker 4: We're going to ask you a question, just reply quickly,
Speaker 4: give us a sinct answer. Don't nothing too long because
Speaker 4: we're trying to maintain our titles. The fastest question, answer
Speaker 4: segment and pop past history. And if you take too long,
Speaker 4: we will be rude to you, and we will take
Speaker 4: our anger out as Sixers and Lakers fans on you
Speaker 4: in a way that is disproportionate and maybe inappropriate. But
Speaker 4: you're a brave person, you're stand up man, so we
Speaker 4: expect nothing less from you.
Speaker 3: Are you ready?
Speaker 10: Does it get a pop?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 6: Start the clock?
Speaker 4: Don't do any easy ones, Jack, but we gotta we
Speaker 4: gotta make Warren.
Speaker 5: Look, I'm crossing the ones out right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, good ones, pull up, pull up his phone records,
Speaker 4: pull up his phone records.
Speaker 2: Do that one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the ones from June twenty thirteen.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Old Warren.
Speaker 3: Oh, you made a lot of calls to this number.
Speaker 5: Okay, here we go. Uh.
Speaker 4: First question, this is from the discord and shout out
Speaker 4: to everybody that goes on the discord. What what what
Speaker 4: will the crowd reaction be like in Boston if it's
Speaker 4: Kyrie and the MAVs rolling into town, will the turned
Speaker 4: up crowd get guys like Luca and Kyrie going. Will
Speaker 4: it be an atmosphere that will just be terrible for everyone?
Speaker 4: What are your what's your thoughts on the atmosphere when
Speaker 4: they come to town?
Speaker 9: Crash negative something, no chill, no chill. So it's gonna
Speaker 9: be awful. And that's the one part I don't want.
Speaker 9: Any part of Kyrie is gonna rains of booze. And
Speaker 9: I just they don't throw stuff, That's all I can say.
Speaker 9: Just it's not a great fan base when it comes
Speaker 9: to Kyrie.
Speaker 4: Sure, sure, sure, And like much of the way that
Speaker 4: you're powered by the tiers of Laker fans, Kyrie is
Speaker 4: powered by the booze of Boston fans.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that could, that could. Yeah, that's a battery
Speaker 3: for him, for sure.
Speaker 5: There's been a lot of talk about how the home
Speaker 5: court advantage has gone away. People aren't like doing that
Speaker 5: much better at home, if better at all at home?
Speaker 5: What do you think? What's your theory on that?
Speaker 9: Funny listening to a show talking about that earlier today,
Speaker 9: and rest has a lot to do with it, you know,
Speaker 9: I think so the visiting team can kind of come
Speaker 9: in and you know, the.
Speaker 10: Travel is better, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 9: But I just think teams are better proportionately matched in
Speaker 9: general from what we've seen more recently in recent years.
Speaker 9: So I don't think home court advenge is what it
Speaker 9: once was, but you know, I'd still rather have it
Speaker 9: than not, but it doesn't hold.
Speaker 10: The same weight that I think it did fifteen ten
Speaker 10: years ago.
Speaker 5: Also, there's something we've talked about in the past about
Speaker 5: NBA players being sort of SPIKEE fueled and like feeling
Speaker 5: like everybody it's them against the world. I wonder if
Speaker 5: like there's a part of it where like they react
Speaker 5: better to people like hating on them, Like yeah, right, exactly.
Speaker 5: Like a lot of it is like, you know, just
Speaker 5: made up hate, but like you know, you have to
Speaker 5: motivate yourself somehow, but like it when you're on the road,
Speaker 5: you actually get to like hear it and feel it.
Speaker 5: And it's like the type of person who becomes a
Speaker 5: great player these days has to do it in the
Speaker 5: face of just torrents of you know, hate on social media.
Speaker 5: I just wonder if, like, for a modern player, that
Speaker 5: is a more effective way to get going than like
Speaker 5: the adulation of the home crowd is like curing booze
Speaker 5: and anger. Right, that's my that's my loose, uh, soft brained.
Speaker 4: You're like yeah, and then like people like MJ and
Speaker 4: then Kobe kind of really made it that thing where
Speaker 4: it's like, yeah, go ahead, I want to hear it,
Speaker 4: and then you stick that job out.
Speaker 3: And you're like you're in trouble. But that was a
Speaker 3: long time ago.
Speaker 5: Yeah, But like, I feel like the feeling of quieting
Speaker 5: a crowd something that I have a lot of experience
Speaker 5: with in our live shows. I feel like that's got
Speaker 5: to be one of the more powerful feelings that you
Speaker 5: can get.
Speaker 10: I can give you a terrible example.
Speaker 9: I played intramural yeah basketball when I did, and we
Speaker 9: played against those frats and yeah, you know, they brought
Speaker 9: their sorority girls out and they're h and my little
Speaker 9: pickup team you beat them.
Speaker 10: I felt some type of way. Yeah, that's true motivation.
Speaker 10: So yeah, translates all levels.
Speaker 5: That is the experience of playing against the Boston Celtics,
Speaker 5: by the way, is playing against a fraternity with a
Speaker 5: bunch of play. We're playing sap.
Speaker 4: Baby line was Pike so okay, yeah, oh and gammified
Speaker 4: Beta coming.
Speaker 3: Don't worry, don't worry. I will.
Speaker 4: I'll probably hit a air ball or two in that game.
Speaker 4: All right, was that a question or are you getting sure?
Speaker 5: Let's go say that was a question.
Speaker 3: Okay, that was a question, all right, Warred.
Speaker 4: You can go back in time to personally witness any
Speaker 4: finals matchup from history. However many games a series went,
Speaker 4: you get courtside tickets to each game.
Speaker 10: What series are you sitting courts with?
Speaker 5: Heat? Series are you choosing?
Speaker 10: God, i'd go.
Speaker 9: Back into I can't remember what year I'm gonna get
Speaker 9: it wrong, but obviously one of the ones Bird beat Magic,
Speaker 9: So you know, I don't know if that's.
Speaker 10: Four fives one of those one of those years.
Speaker 9: So I was, you know, a fledgling individual at that
Speaker 9: at that time of my life and wasn't really following
Speaker 9: basketball in that But I think you just understanding what
Speaker 9: that rivalry.
Speaker 10: Was like, not the first, but the most.
Speaker 9: No, I don't only say, I want to say this right,
Speaker 9: one of the more iconic rivalries in NBA history, you know, Bird.
Speaker 10: Versus Magic, And yeah, for sure, something that I can
Speaker 10: definitely relate to.
Speaker 3: It's the year of my birth, nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 5: The amount of second hand smoke you're gonna have to
Speaker 5: deal with back there though.
Speaker 9: Man oh yeah, yeah yeah and Rady and cigars.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm good, yeah, saying eighty seven better? Maybe why okay?
Speaker 5: Places of the NBA for the next five years?
Speaker 10: Uh shaye?
Speaker 5: Aunt Wemby sha't Webby? Okay, who's Aunt Wemby?
Speaker 2: That's my aunt Wenby?
Speaker 5: Is it not Luca? Because of how bad his forearm
Speaker 5: tattoo is, Like that's that's one of the worst professional
Speaker 5: athlete tattoos, right, Like I say, sometimes I'm like, what
Speaker 5: did he smear on there? What is going on with
Speaker 5: Like there's like a you know what I mean, it's
Speaker 5: like kind of what.
Speaker 2: He what's he smearing on?
Speaker 5: Like smeared a little bit?
Speaker 4: It's uh, it's hard to do, isn't it? Like an eye,
Speaker 4: like an all seeing eye kind of thing. And I
Speaker 4: think like a hawk flying into the moon.
Speaker 5: Hey, I can't hate, all right, I can't hate. You've
Speaker 5: seen the little sun rise I have at the base
Speaker 5: of my back, so yeah, exactly, I can't. I can't complain.
Speaker 5: I'm oh yeah, yeah, oh.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he does front and back.
Speaker 5: So Warren, we've seen teams und my belly but brought
Speaker 5: in the style.
Speaker 3: Is it Reggie, who is it?
Speaker 4: So we got teams like the Grizzlies, thunder Magic taking
Speaker 4: steps you know, to.
Speaker 3: The next level over the last few years.
Speaker 4: Who are Can you give us two teams you think
Speaker 4: we can also expect something similar from that are going
Speaker 4: to be in the conversation that previously wasn't because.
Speaker 10: We're seeing that is not those teams you just mentioned.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's the ones that fully encapsulate what I've just said,
Speaker 4: go outside the bounds and give us a prediction.
Speaker 9: So listen, I think Houston's closer than people want to admit. Yeah,
Speaker 9: coaching is a real situation there, and I love Shangoon
Speaker 9: and a thing jelling is is going to be a dude,
Speaker 9: So I'd pick Houston there, you know, try and think
Speaker 9: from an Eastern Conference standpoint. There's not a lot like
Speaker 9: right now you have mentioned right, so yeah, you know,
Speaker 9: I would hope Detroit gets rocked together, but they're nowhere
Speaker 9: near where they be. So I guess I'll go with
Speaker 9: the safe pick care and then in your conference finals,
Speaker 9: and I.
Speaker 10: Guess the Pacers we'll see them again. They should be
Speaker 10: so good.
Speaker 4: So I mean, man like Memo hard Yeah, he's you
Speaker 4: talked about like you thought he would be the last time.
Speaker 10: Me too.
Speaker 9: You know, yeah, he's not particularly quick, but he's crafty
Speaker 9: and you know a little half turns doing the smitty
Speaker 9: and you know leanings and decent shot, you know, the
Speaker 9: little goose snake on his threes.
Speaker 10: Hey, I could rock with that.
Speaker 5: I could rock.
Speaker 10: I think you're a super producer saying the Spurs.
Speaker 9: But until they can get some help someone rights, it's
Speaker 9: basically us three running around with right now. And that's
Speaker 9: that's not gonna cut it right.
Speaker 5: Over under a number of seasons until Wemby is top
Speaker 5: three MVP voter.
Speaker 9: Uh so over under I'm going to say over one,
Speaker 9: but i'd say literally in year three.
Speaker 5: So wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 9: Okay, Yeah, I mean and and I mean that's that's
Speaker 9: contradicting what I just said though in terms of Spurs
Speaker 9: won't be a good basketball team, you know, record wise,
Speaker 9: but I don't know that we'll be able to deny
Speaker 9: his his statistical impact. And if you know, people do say,
Speaker 9: you know what, I want to go play with that guy,
Speaker 9: you know, the Alien or whatever his logo is.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, maybe they will be able to rebuild
Speaker 10: a lot faster, but he's ridiculous.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it's hard to for somebody to live up
Speaker 9: to the expectations in that first year that that was
Speaker 9: put on him too.
Speaker 10: And I know, you guys rode up summer League and.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 9: Don't you remember the spectacle that it was, you know, yeah,
Speaker 9: trying to watch him out there?
Speaker 5: It was actually was he there?
Speaker 4: I didn't do you remember the how quiet it got
Speaker 4: in Thomason Max Center. This second will touch the ball
Speaker 4: even everyone's watch, Yeah, and they're like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: he missed that dunk.
Speaker 3: And I was like, this guy is a way stroll.
Speaker 5: He's I'm calling it.
Speaker 3: I'm out on this webby guy.
Speaker 5: And then he almost hit his head on the rim,
Speaker 5: just like walking by, and I was like, oh, oh,
Speaker 5: this is gonna be weird.
Speaker 3: He needs spacial awareness, uh, A warrant.
Speaker 4: Finally, this summer, you know, we're planning on doing a
Speaker 4: dive into some nineties players, some of our favorites of
Speaker 4: the era.
Speaker 3: During the offseason.
Speaker 4: We're going to highlight different players, give us a few
Speaker 4: recommendations of people that you think you know, especially for
Speaker 4: newer fans, nineties era players that we absolutely they need
Speaker 4: to be familiar with Well.
Speaker 9: I think I spoke about this maybe the last time
Speaker 9: I was on, but I'm definitely it's an only good
Speaker 9: a bit of goodie for me, the draws and Petrovitch nets.
Speaker 9: So what Derek Holeman as well to d C was
Speaker 9: a problem.
Speaker 10: He wasn't always motivated, but yeah, he was a problem
Speaker 10: back in the nineties.
Speaker 9: And then to keep it h Boston centric j Lewis,
Speaker 9: you know, and not to make you know, not to
Speaker 9: be morbid about it in any capacity. Obviously he passed on. Uh,
Speaker 9: but he was a bucket, you know, he could he
Speaker 9: could really hoop. So those are guys I think, you know,
Speaker 9: people would love it, should should want to learn more
Speaker 9: about you know, those those those.
Speaker 10: Three guys, if you will.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, he kept that four four on him.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 4: Well, warren Shaw, it has been a pleasure and an
Speaker 4: honor having you on Miles and Jack on Mad BOOSTI
Speaker 4: so you could sip on our loser tears this episode.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'd love to have you back on if the
Speaker 5: Celtics don't win the title. Man, we got love to
Speaker 5: We would love to have you back on if they win.
Speaker 5: It's been nice meeting you. Good luck, yeah, good luck.
Speaker 4: At your future endeavors, but we will not be able
Speaker 4: to look.
Speaker 5: You in the eye if you just and Dan. So
Speaker 5: this is the fastest segment in uh, not just basketball podcasting,
Speaker 5: podcasting in general. We can ask you questions you're coming
Speaker 5: back with just the first answers that come out of
Speaker 5: your brain. Uh, just sounds whatever, It can be pre lingual.
Speaker 5: We just want we want it fast, okay, and if
Speaker 5: you slow it down at all, we will blame you
Speaker 5: and hold it against you. Does that sound good? Yeah?
Speaker 5: All right, Brian, start the clock. I don't like that.
Speaker 5: I don't I don't feel good it does. It's not
Speaker 5: becoming Brian. It's okay. If you don't, you know, do
Speaker 5: whatever you want. All right. We've been asking our guests
Speaker 5: what is the official state bird of your state? In
Speaker 5: this case New York, the blue jay? I have no idea. Yeah,
Speaker 5: we we don't know. We don't care about that. What
Speaker 5: is the unofficial state bird of New York?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 5: Like a probably a crow? Black crow? Yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 5: that is incorrect. We would accept trash pigeon, big bird,
Speaker 5: but the suit smells like urine, or just straight up
Speaker 5: a rat. Any of those would have been okay, Yeah,
Speaker 5: all right, Jabari, unto you.
Speaker 13: What is your favorite all time throwback shoe and jersey?
Speaker 3: And I noticed you got a Team Mac jersey back there,
Speaker 3: But would that be in there?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 14: My favorite throwback jersey would be those Vancouver Grizzlies, like
Speaker 14: teal jerseys or just spectacular yeah with the bear.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they got the bear on there.
Speaker 14: My favorite throwback shoe, I would be a Team AC
Speaker 14: shoe if you guys. I don't remember the actual addition
Speaker 14: of it, but it was from Adidas that had like
Speaker 14: the spider web with the blue like it was white
Speaker 14: and had like the blue lines that looked like spider webs.
Speaker 5: It was in all those gop Milk magazine ads.
Speaker 14: When I finally capped the pair of those and I
Speaker 14: was playing youth basketball, I thought I was so freaking cool.
Speaker 5: Those those were awesome. Man. I just googled t back
Speaker 5: throwback spider web and Google does not know what to
Speaker 5: do with that. So, all right, what's the best slice
Speaker 5: for your money in All New York? Ooh? Uh pizza?
Speaker 14: Oh no, not cheesecakey thing about that? Then two brothers
Speaker 14: or two boots. There's like a place in Rockefeller Center
Speaker 14: or something that's the best pizza I ever had.
Speaker 5: It's like some hole in the wall place.
Speaker 2: They might be called like two Boots Pizza or something.
Speaker 5: Really Rockefeller Center hot, Damn the Rockefellers still doing it
Speaker 5: after all these years. All right, that is also incorrect,
Speaker 5: but I won't get into it. I'm a fan of
Speaker 5: John's or Bleaker Street Pizza, but those are both happened
Speaker 5: to be around where I lived when I was in
Speaker 5: New York, so uh, probably biased, Jabari, what you got?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: You know we're heading into the year.
Speaker 13: We're doing all these fantastic breakdowns Southeast Division. Of course,
Speaker 13: what is your biggest sleeper team or sleep What are
Speaker 13: your sleeper teams setting into the season.
Speaker 14: I just want to pick the Pelicans, so you guys
Speaker 14: could yell at me again like you have the pass.
Speaker 5: I don't know, I kind of like it. I feel
Speaker 5: like people forgot that Dejonte is on the Pelicans.
Speaker 14: Now they don't have any centers, so it's like easy
Speaker 14: to forget them against the place center there. I think
Speaker 14: for the sake of variety, the Houston Rockets have like
Speaker 14: twenty five guys that belong to an NBA rotation, and
Speaker 14: I actually think that we're gonna look back on this
Speaker 14: draft and wonder why Reed Shepherd wasn't taken number one.
Speaker 14: That guy gives off like Steph Curry vibes and just
Speaker 14: the way he gets to his mid range, the shooting
Speaker 14: in general. I think he'll end up being a really
Speaker 14: good passer. I don't know how much they're going to
Speaker 14: play him because they have so many dudes, but like
Speaker 14: Jabari Smith really good, I'm in Thompson really good. They
Speaker 14: have Shane Goon, Dylan Brooks is a psycho, Tarr Easton
Speaker 14: is defensive chaos creator. I don't know if they're interested
Speaker 14: in winning, but they won more. They forty one and
Speaker 14: forty one or forty and forty two last year. Like
Speaker 14: that's a team that people don't have penciled into kind
Speaker 14: of the playing territory or even the top six running.
Speaker 14: It would not shock me if their offense gets a
Speaker 14: little bit better. The defense is still elite. And this
Speaker 14: is a team that we're talking about like late in
Speaker 14: the year as a as a dark horse.
Speaker 5: Well he did it, Jabari. I know you said no
Speaker 5: chance he makes it through another rapid fire round of questioning,
Speaker 5: But Danny Beans, Dan Favalley, you have done it. You
Speaker 5: have made it and we're back, and we're back.
Speaker 4: Oh, Jason, it's been a really fun conversation up until
Speaker 4: this point.
Speaker 3: Because you are now in the hot seat. This is
Speaker 3: the rapid fire round of budding.
Speaker 4: These are the fastest question and answer segments that we
Speaker 4: have ever done in the history of podcasting ever.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're gonna ask a question.
Speaker 4: You just answer it quick, don't think too hard, just
Speaker 4: give us the instant reaction. And if you take too
Speaker 4: long and threaten our title as fastest question and answer
Speaker 4: segment in podcasting history, we will be very rude.
Speaker 5: Okay, just don't make me look like a full in
Speaker 5: front of the NBA, Jason. Don't we promise them. We
Speaker 5: said the show is going to be mediocre, but the
Speaker 5: asked to say the rapid fire segment is.
Speaker 3: Going to be so fastest you've ever seen.
Speaker 4: Just me, we will be able to dunk on everybody
Speaker 4: we have on the show, just so you know.
Speaker 5: And your threat, it's a big you're making different anger.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't like you. We don't like you, but
Speaker 4: it's back. Get the confidence back. Here we go, Jason.
Speaker 2: Are you ready?
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's do it all right?
Speaker 3: Then, here we go.
Speaker 6: Briant.
Speaker 5: Ye right, yeah, yeah, I'm just nervous, man.
Speaker 3: I was just I was just rewatching the video and Jason's.
Speaker 5: Twitterlight real wake off to the highlight reel and the
Speaker 5: footnote the show.
Speaker 2: Wow wow wow.
Speaker 5: Uh here here here we go?
Speaker 3: Uh you should we do it?
Speaker 5: Should we do one?
Speaker 3: I mean, sorry, I'm nervous again. I just I was
Speaker 3: looking at another replay here.
Speaker 5: Why why don't we kick it off here? Uh? You
Speaker 5: want to go? Yeah, I'll go. Okay.
Speaker 4: This is the fastest question and answer segment. Just you know, Jason,
Speaker 4: this isn't us being rusty. This is a little bit
Speaker 4: of This is how we fake them out, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean a little bit.
Speaker 15: Of Is this like when you're on the polygraph where
Speaker 15: they ask you all the boring questions first.
Speaker 4: Exactly and just like a polygraph, this is also pseudo scientific.
Speaker 4: Here's the first question, Jason, this is from our discord.
Speaker 3: Is there a current comp for pre injury Grant Hill.
Speaker 15: I don't think so that that like super springy two
Speaker 15: guard pull up shooter hadn't really been I mean, it
Speaker 15: is the closest thing we've had to but most of
Speaker 15: the two guards we've had are like the Booker and
Speaker 15: hardin types, which are a little bit less athletic, a
Speaker 15: little more skill based.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmmmm.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, that's correct.
Speaker 3: That is correct. That is correct.
Speaker 5: You got that one. I know you said, no way
Speaker 5: he gets this one. But he got it.
Speaker 3: He nailed it. I'm nervous now.
Speaker 5: It is currently NBA Dunk Week. So what's your all
Speaker 5: time favorite in game dunk and your four dunkers in
Speaker 5: your all time fantasy dunk contests? Dunk say dunk?
Speaker 2: There you go, And.
Speaker 15: Admittedly biased, but the Lebron dunk over use of Nurkic.
Speaker 15: Every time I see the highlight, I still don't know
Speaker 15: how he did it. His body was moving kind of
Speaker 15: like away from the rim, and he took off from
Speaker 15: like the third hash outside the block and was like
Speaker 15: this and just that was absurd. Vince Carter's always number
Speaker 15: one for me all time. That Strow Miles Swift video.
Speaker 15: Every single time it comes around, I just have to
Speaker 15: watch it. That's like one of my rules. I have
Speaker 15: a handful of rules as a human. You always watch
Speaker 15: the Strow Miles Swift video when it comes around. I'll
Speaker 15: go with let's see so Carter, Lebron Stromile' if I
Speaker 15: have to give you a fourth, I'll go with I'll
Speaker 15: go with T mac Yam.
Speaker 5: Yeah, T Max is getting out to you.
Speaker 3: Got to you got to now.
Speaker 4: I guess this is something since we've been talking about
Speaker 4: in the nineties and how younger fans kind of put
Speaker 4: or just people who maybe not were as not engaged
Speaker 4: with basketball back then, have some misconceptions about the game.
Speaker 4: What is one of the biggest misconceptions that people have
Speaker 4: about the way the game was played in the eighties
Speaker 4: or nineties and the impact that it's had today.
Speaker 15: I think that the idea that that defenses are getting
Speaker 15: worse is a major misconception. I think like people forget that,
Speaker 15: like the offense, the offense is always improving as we
Speaker 15: get better at schemes and understanding how to generate better
Speaker 15: shots for people, but also just the skill level of
Speaker 15: players is increasing. But at the same time, like it's
Speaker 15: not like the league isn't also trying to solve that.
Speaker 15: On the defensive end, It's like we're seeing it now
Speaker 15: a team's trying to take away the three in the
Speaker 15: rim and in different pick and roll coverages that are
Speaker 15: designed to get the ball out of the primary ball
Speaker 15: handler's hands. Defense is actually better than it's ever been.
Speaker 15: It's just the offense is growing at a faster rate.
Speaker 15: And I think that a lot of times there's just
Speaker 15: a misconception about defense was better in the nineties. It wasn't.
Speaker 15: It was really good still, it's just as a league,
Speaker 15: the offense is outpacing it right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, that was the right end you up a
Speaker 5: little bit.
Speaker 4: Yeah that was the right answer, Jason, But it took
Speaker 4: way too long for you to say that, So I
Speaker 4: don't know if we can count that one, just so
Speaker 4: you know, but that was the right answered.
Speaker 5: That was all right answer. Give us a dark horse
Speaker 5: team for this next year, and also a dark horse
Speaker 5: player who you want to see on the twenty twenty
Speaker 5: eight Olympic team.
Speaker 15: Dark horse team. I think a lot of people forget
Speaker 15: how good Memphis was. I think they're gonna be top
Speaker 15: four seed, like right away. I think they they kind
Speaker 15: of found a couple of forwards in their system between
Speaker 15: like guys like Vince Williams and Gigi Jackson and John Moran.
Speaker 15: I'd like I threw out this stat the other day,
Speaker 15: like he just immediately came in. It was awesome and
Speaker 15: helped them win, win a lot of win a lot
Speaker 15: of games. Whore he got hurt? What was the second
Speaker 15: part of the question.
Speaker 5: All right, give me a dark horse player? Do you
Speaker 5: want to see on the twenty twenty eight Olympic team?
Speaker 15: On the twenty twenty eight Olympic team? Ah, I'll go
Speaker 15: with how about Kevin Durant?
Speaker 5: Lebron's a given, let's make back up there.
Speaker 15: But if there was an old guy who would come back,
Speaker 15: I'd be him, right because he's such a right like Yeah,
Speaker 15: like Katie just taking spot up jump shots.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just like he's he's just stuck there in
Speaker 3: the corner. Man, just find him.
Speaker 5: He's in love too. Hoop. All right?
Speaker 4: And I got to say, we have seen your mixtape
Speaker 4: on the Twitter bio, But what is your personal highlight
Speaker 4: for you as a basketball player? Was the nastiest in
Speaker 4: game moment for you that you still think about when
Speaker 4: you put yourself to bedtnight.
Speaker 5: Oh that's a good question.
Speaker 15: I would say, if I had to off the top
Speaker 15: of my head, I would say when I was at
Speaker 15: when I was in Juco, I had a tip dunk
Speaker 15: once that I surprised myself with where I was coming
Speaker 15: down the lane and I was actually just going to
Speaker 15: grab the offensive rebound. And when I went up and
Speaker 15: got it, I remember vividly in my head like looking
Speaker 15: over and seeing the rim like right here, and I
Speaker 15: was just like, oh, yeah, but we've had I mean,
Speaker 15: we've had that happen to us, dude, Jack and I
Speaker 15: a lot, like I'll do.
Speaker 3: It right there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, too often, But it happens too often where I'm
Speaker 5: not prepared for how high I jumped, like hoop. I
Speaker 5: wish I could get it through my thing. You have
Speaker 5: incredible springs down there, buddy, got bunnies.
Speaker 15: I think I think that's probably it. Like I just
Speaker 15: like everybody else, there's a there's it's basketball for me,
Speaker 15: and I'm sure it is for you guys too, Like
Speaker 15: it's it's a thing that's lasted for decades for me.
Speaker 15: So I just have, you know a lot of memory,
Speaker 15: Like you know, what I've had a lot of fun
Speaker 15: with is just like as an old guy playing in
Speaker 15: like money tournaments more than there's cash on the line.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just had.
Speaker 15: I just had one a few weeks ago where I
Speaker 15: put in three hundred bucks as an entry feed. Me
Speaker 15: and a buddy of mine split the entry fee, and
Speaker 15: we brought a team in and like it was double
Speaker 15: elimination and we lost in the first championship game. We
Speaker 15: had to like come back and win two in a row,
Speaker 15: and like the ac was broken in the gym. It
Speaker 15: was like eighty five degrees and like those moments when
Speaker 15: you like win the cash and like and you're with
Speaker 15: a bunch of dudes who used to play in college. Like,
Speaker 15: I've actually had a lot of enjoyment in the game
Speaker 15: post college, which is something that I didn't expect. The
Speaker 15: big part of that is I'm just a lot better
Speaker 15: now than I used to be when I was in college.
Speaker 3: Well this this is true. Some white men can jump.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it turns out, and I find it troubling perfectly,
Speaker 5: all right.
Speaker 3: Any time you get up there, Jack, You're like, why
Speaker 3: am I going so high?
Speaker 5: I'm too high? This can't handle the landing. Miles, Oh Miles,
Speaker 5: Oh dear.
Speaker 4: Yes, it is the fourth quarter. It is time for
Speaker 4: the rapid fire round of questioning. Dragonfly Jones, you are
Speaker 4: one of our favorite guests, one of our favorite people
Speaker 4: to talk to.
Speaker 3: Also a fantastic follow on Twitter. If you if you.
Speaker 4: Don't know, you should learn yourself but I'm sorry to
Speaker 4: do this to you. You are now in the hot seat.
Speaker 4: You know how this goes. We asked the questions. You
Speaker 4: don't think about it. You just give us your first instincts.
Speaker 5: Just react.
Speaker 3: Okay, don't give us long winded answers, because we'd like
Speaker 3: to keep the temple up like this.
Speaker 4: This segment goes exactly and I will not slow down
Speaker 4: my way of speaking, and we will be rude to
Speaker 4: you if you slow down the segment. With all that said,
Speaker 4: do you consent to being part of this rapid fire
Speaker 4: round of question?
Speaker 5: And we had to we need to get here.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, thank you? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Illegal and then State Farm Insurance. Yeah, we need to
Speaker 5: get your consent.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well you said you're ready, and so are we.
Speaker 5: So Brian start the clock. So mean.
Speaker 4: Uh Dracula, Yeah, Dracula you want to go draft?
Speaker 5: I guess we yeah? Uh? Why don't you kick us off? Miles?
Speaker 3: Oh me?
Speaker 5: Yeah? You here we go?
Speaker 3: Couldn't Dragonfly Jones?
Speaker 4: What is your all time favorite throwback shoe and jersey?
Speaker 4: They don't necessarily have to go together, but please call
Speaker 4: out the most powerful basketball garments in the universe.
Speaker 16: This this might be a sleeper pick. It is the
Speaker 16: ninety five Jason Kids. If you're flights, Yeah yeah. They
Speaker 16: came out in black and white and blue and white,
Speaker 16: and the black and white ones, like I got a
Speaker 16: pair of those as we speak.
Speaker 5: So those bubble on the side, yep, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: a couple.
Speaker 2: Of I think very few.
Speaker 4: I would just like to remind you on the cover
Speaker 4: art for this very podcast, I was with Jack got
Speaker 4: mad Boostie's my caricature is rocking those exact sneakers because
Speaker 4: that is my favorite basketball and we.
Speaker 2: Just think I'm best friends.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: And you know what's funny every time they every time
Speaker 4: Nike releases them, they're like sitting and I'm always like,
Speaker 4: what's wrong.
Speaker 2: With these kids?
Speaker 5: This is iconic.
Speaker 2: This don't appreciate history, man, that's all that.
Speaker 3: Yeah yep.
Speaker 4: And they're like, well, look at those washed sneakers. They
Speaker 4: always say I have washed sneakers, but I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 4: they are clean, thanks, kids, just wash okay and Jersey
Speaker 4: Jersey Jersey.
Speaker 2: You know. It is you know, keeping with the Jerry
Speaker 2: West theme.
Speaker 16: It is the the icy blue Lakers, you know, like
Speaker 16: the Jerry West era. I had the Icy Blue Kobe
Speaker 16: eight back in like, oh yeah, yeah, so that's my
Speaker 16: favorite throwback.
Speaker 3: B Yeah, it's a beautiful jersey.
Speaker 7: It is.
Speaker 4: I love blue, and obviously the Lakers were purple and gold.
Speaker 4: So whenever I had a chance to rock that, I will.
Speaker 4: And Dragonfly Jones, that was a fantastic answer. But that
Speaker 4: to entirely to the next question. I'm sitting over here
Speaker 4: checking my non existent watch.
Speaker 5: Well Jack's beard that grew looking like hello, who's there? Uh,
Speaker 5: Dragonfly Jones. We are playing pick up with presidents of
Speaker 5: these United States. I actually just took the first pick,
Speaker 5: and I took Obama. All presidents are in their peak
Speaker 5: physical condition. Who are you taking next? Jerald Ford?
Speaker 16: He is perhaps the most accomplished athlete to ever service president.
Speaker 16: He was an offensive lineman at Michigan. I know we're
Speaker 16: talking basketball, but there's a certain brand of basketball that
Speaker 16: football players play where they do all the dirty work.
Speaker 16: They set screens, they rebound, they get put backs. You know,
Speaker 16: the type of guy that you wanted your things. So
Speaker 16: I'll probably go Jeryl Ford. If Obama's off the board.
Speaker 5: God shoul, they're taking Gerald Ford.
Speaker 2: You guys like.
Speaker 16: Obama, man, you got to get is going to be
Speaker 16: the guy sting screens for you.
Speaker 5: I am a dirty work kind of player, and I
Speaker 5: need somebody who's got a sweet jumper. And that's what
Speaker 5: I'm That's why I took Obama first, and I'm going
Speaker 5: to get in the middle and tussle with Ford. Spend
Speaker 5: the fact that he's gonna.
Speaker 4: Jam all day, like get Eric, like yeah, Zurich and
Speaker 4: you're like, thank you, mister, thank.
Speaker 16: You, sir.
Speaker 5: Also, I feel like I'd be interested to see what
Speaker 5: Lincoln could do, even though he was president before basketball
Speaker 5: was in.
Speaker 12: Each height.
Speaker 5: And also the like he was famous when he was
Speaker 5: a young person for being one of the best wrestlers
Speaker 5: at that time, Like wrestling was just two people enter
Speaker 5: a ring and whoever could knock the other person off
Speaker 5: their feet would win. So I just like he just
Speaker 5: had natural He naturally had that dog in him. Uh
Speaker 5: so Lincoln would have been interesting.
Speaker 4: Lincoln did in fact have that dog in him. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 4: next question, Dragonfly. One of these gotta go Little Penny
Speaker 4: grandmama or Mars black Man grandmama.
Speaker 16: And the only reason that Grandmama has to go is
Speaker 16: because I got to say that the Larry Johnson converces
Speaker 16: are the weakest out of that bunch.
Speaker 2: And I thought it was a great gimmick. I thought
Speaker 2: Grandmama was a great gimmick. I remember when.
Speaker 16: When you know, he even had the special appearance on
Speaker 16: Family Matters, Right, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great gimmick.
Speaker 16: But but but little Penny, Little Penny was hilarious.
Speaker 2: I love those commercials.
Speaker 16: That's Tyra Banks food like that all the top his day,
Speaker 16: Mars Blackman with I mean, it's just so wild to
Speaker 16: look back and realize there was an ad campaign with
Speaker 16: Michael Jordan and Spike Lee at a point in time, right,
Speaker 16: like that's just his but yeah, so so yeah, I
Speaker 16: mean LGLJ gets to cut here, unfair.
Speaker 5: Okay, I actually just figured out that that is Larry Johnson.
Speaker 5: When you when you just said that, I was like,
Speaker 5: you are elderly advertising lj's shoes.
Speaker 4: You're like grandma Ma, who was selling cons with the
