63
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: feeling hour number two will be a little more fun.

00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: Rob Parker, I hope you had a merry holiday Antarctica.

65
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: It was Antarctica was great and Christmas was great and

66
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: looking forward to the start of twenty twenty. It is

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: Barbara Walters. You know, I think we you jokingly have

68
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: talked to me during the break about and being an Antarctica.

69
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: I think you said you were the only African American

70
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: just set foot on the content. That's not true this

71
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: uh this year, this calendar year. Oh no, Actually, when

72
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: I went, it was twenty four Americans on the boat.

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: It was seventy three people and eleven were people of

74
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: color out of the tents. It was very nice getting

75
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: your culture on. Yes, it was unbelievable. I met people

76
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: from all over the country and most people who were

77
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: on the trip and Artica was their seventh and final

78
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: content when you want to like you know, so that's

79
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: why most people make that trip. So was this one

80
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: of those like, uh party boats like the Minnesota Vikings

81
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: had day It was I didn't know what it was.

82
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: It was a nice size, it was great good. I'm

83
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: glad you took in some culture went to Antarctica. But

84
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: I have to ask, were you watching any sports? No, no, TVs, TVs,

85
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: soe you to watch Lebron decimate the entire NBA in

86
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: route of the best record in the league when he

87
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: was beating all those also rans and cupcakes and now

88
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: here we go. No, I'm gonna tell you because what

89
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: I took out of Sunday's loss to the Clippers Wednesday's lost.

90
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, yeah, Christmas today is what I mean.

91
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: I know it felt like a Sunday? Uh was that? Basically?

92
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: The Lakers are championship praus At this part championship championship praus.

93
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: The two teams are standing in their way or the

94
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks. They're not Clippers, know what what I'm saying. Those

95
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: are the two teams and they met the Bucks when

96
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: they were twelve, twenty four and four. We saw that

97
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: turned out. I know it was the last game over

98
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: five game road trip. And if you want to make

99
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: that as the excuse, go ahead. They've now lost four

100
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: in a row and the team they can't beat is

101
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: the Clippers. Game one at Staples. They lost that game.

102
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: Clippers didn't even have Paul George back then. And then

103
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: they were up by fifteen on Christmas Day and they

104
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: couldn't hold on to that and they got beat they

105
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right here, right now, the way their

106
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: team is constructed, and the Lakers are the second oldest

107
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: team in the NBA, there's no way they could beat

108
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 1: the Clippers four times they're constructed. I just don't believe

109
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: that that team is going to be able to beat

110
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: the Clippers four times out of seven to win a

111
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: series against your issue that they just aren't strong enough

112
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: on the wings where they you know, the Clippers have

113
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: Paul George, Clippers have Kawhi, Lakers have Cuzl and Lebron.

114
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: That's what they're looking for and against the Clippers so far,

115
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: Game one shot seven for nineteen I was in the

116
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: first one and nine for twenty four, including ten three threesh.

117
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: He missed ten threes, I think the most ever in

118
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: his NBA career. Meanwhile, Kawhi was pretty damn good in

119
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: both games. He was. He was very good. Yeah, load

120
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,799
Speaker 1: that's the load management fraud. Kawhi Leonard I was ruining

121
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: the NBA with load management. Just fai. I'm not I'm

122
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: not into the low load management. But Lebron is the

123
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: one that the term came out for Lebron. That's when

124
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: the first time he was load managing in January, Okay,

125
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 1: after he had gone to the finals eight years in

126
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: a row or whatever it was January. You can't miss

127
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: games in the first month of the season like that diva,

128
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: that diva, Kawhi Leonard. Don't give me this. He's a

129
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: humble superstar. He's a diva. His uncle Dennis, back in

130
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: June went to the Lakers and said, oh yeah, I

131
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: got a list of demands. He put on a ski

132
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: mask and said, I want a private I want equity

133
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: in the Lakers. They looked at him like it's just

134
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: a joke, and Dennis is a fraud. This is what

135
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: the negotiations are. You asked for the moon because they

136
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: might give it to you. And here's the other thing.

137
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: The Lakers planted that story. That's what it sounds like,

138
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: allegedly that they planted that story out there right before

139
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: this whole Clippers the Lakers game because they thought it

140
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: would get to It's efficient. He's boot in every arena

141
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: in the league because he because he dropped thirty five

142
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: on the head. And it's the other thing. The Lakers

143
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: were so bothered by it that they didn't sign any

144
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: other free agent. They waited to the bitter end thinking

145
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: that they were gonna get Kauhi. They were so turned

146
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: off and so bothered by Uncle Dennis, who they now

147
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: want to call Dennis the Menace because he's the one

148
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,119
Speaker 1: who asked for the moon. The Lakers have some nerve.

149
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: And then Lebron the whole thing. Oh, you know, Mike

150
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: Ron is messed up and got in the first quarter.

151
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: Uh he said the groin was reaggravated. Right, Yeah, when

152
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: when Patrick Beverley, the dirtiest player in the NBA need

153
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: in the in the you know where. And then Lebron

154
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden in the second quarter, at the

155
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: end of the second quarter, a d falls back on

156
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: a shot, lands in the stands, right lands in the

157
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: stands on Kevin Hart and hit comes Lebron. Oh, I

158
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: gotta get in on the action. Also, although my groin

159
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: is reaggravated, I'm gonna run over to the stands and

160
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: hopping and Kevin Hart's lap right there. He was running

161
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: around the court the entire game. I'm asking you know,

162
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: what are you doing on having fun? It's just basketball

163
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: in December. It ain't the NBA Finals, Rob, Are you're

164
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 1: telling me if groin was hurt only after the game

165
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: because they lost, Just like when they got swept by

166
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: the Warriors, he shows up in a in a soft

167
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: cast in a press comp he broke his hand d

168
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: hunching it because they are I've been playing all the

169
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: whole series with a broken wristle. Whatever you want to

170
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: come over. He had fifty one against Kadi and the

171
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: best team in NBA history, but yes, better than your

172
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: Bulls with Michael, that's the best team ever. Lebron nearly

173
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: beat them by himself in game. But my point is

174
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: that don't wear that to the press conference looking for

175
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: sympathy because you got swept. Put that on after the

176
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: press conference, and the same thing. If Lebron knew would

177
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: have won that game the way it looked when they

178
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: were up by fifteen by seven with like seven minutes left,

179
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: there's no way that he'd even come in and bring

180
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: up that that his groin was messed. What it is is, Rob,

181
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: he realizes that Kawhi Leonard meant Kawhi Leonard started load

182
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: management in November December. Lebron never previously load managed in

183
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: November December. And you know what, you're twenty eight. You're

184
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: a phony. That's what Kawhi Leonard is, a diva phony

185
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: and you're load managing in November December. I'm gonna start

186
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: to do that. I don't need to play these games.

187
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take games off. And Lebron should he turns

188
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: thirty five and four days, you need to give m

189
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: a birthday shout out today. No, I will the old

190
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: man who's killing it. He's right now. I believe the

191
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: MVP of the NBA, Lebron stop it. Lebron is the

192
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: is the phony. And right now you look at the Clippers.

193
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: That great start that the Lakers had. Now a Clippers

194
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: only a one game, have one less win than they do.

195
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: And you would have thought that that Lakers were running

196
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: away with something. They weren't running away with anything. And

197
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: they've lost four in a row. Not a Lebron is gimpie.

198
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: It could be six or seven before we know who

199
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: can let me get you. So you calling the Lakers frauds? Okay?

200
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: There that there are According to the two important stats

201
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: offensive efficiency, defensive efficiency. The Lakers are one of two

202
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: teams three teams that are top six in both offense

203
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: and defense. The Bucks, the Celtics, and the Lakers. Clippers

204
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: ain't in there. And do you you gotta tell me the

205
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: Clippers on a better team all around top to bottom top,

206
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: They got ten players deep. The Clippers tell me that

207
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: not better than the Lakers team in the NBA when

208
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: it comes to listen, you can fine, how about this,

209
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: I'll Flippers are awesome in December. You know who's gonna

210
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: fold like a cheap table come playoffs? Jannis and the

211
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: Bucks in the playoffs in six years he played dominoes right,

212
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: and Lebron James is the fote, the finals failure of

213
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: all time. Six He ain't the goat, He's the foe

214
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: and you know him right. He's lost six NBA finals.

215
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: No other former MVP of the NBA has as many losses.

216
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: In the Hey, he was the finders dog in like

217
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: almost everything, while the one with the Mavericks. Okay, he

218
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: choked that one down. That was brutal, and I know

219
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: people will never forgive him. Hey, it's funny time out,

220
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: Rob Parker. I need a t o. You are willing

221
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: to forgive anything Antonio Brown does, anything, doesn't matter, the lawsuits,

222
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: the stuff against all his baby mamas, whatever he wants

223
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: to do. But Lebron loses the finals to the Mavericks,

224
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: and you'll never forget it. No second chance for Bron Boom,

225
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: I got you. No, don't laugh at Rob. You know

226
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: it's like, uh, Patriots cheat you. It's it's the same

227
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: thing with the Patriots chiefs that you don't give them

228
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: a second chance or a third chief. But they got

229
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: caught cheating at least two times. I'm still waiting for

230
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: Brown has more lawsuits Tom than Lebron has finals losses. Okay,

231
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is the load and and Lebron James is

232
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: the fault. And and to throw it in, Kevin Durant

233
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: is the massault. The most sensitive of all times, I

234
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: got everybody. I want to do a whole segment on

235
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: Katy Rob Parker. Do you think he realizes, Oh my gosh,

236
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: what did I do getting in bed with Kyrie Irving?

237
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: The nets are so much better now that Kyrie's hurt.

238
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: We'll get to Kevin Duranta. They'll be fine. When both

239
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: of those got when both of those that's gonna get ugly.

240
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: They'll be fine. So Lebron and anton Davis are terrorizing

241
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: the league. And what they realize this guys terrorizing teams. Yeah,

242
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: they have the best record in the league. They were

243
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: on pace to one seven. No. No, because they realized.

244
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: Antonio Davis take a day off, they lose. Lebron take

245
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: a day off against the Nuggets, they lose. Like, come on,

246
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what happens in December. The Lakers are wisening

247
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: up and getting smarter. I'm just it's not how you start,

248
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: it's how you finish. And I still think the Clippers

249
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: have the best roster up and down, ten ten deep.

250
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: They got a best coach, They got a better coach

251
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: of Coc Rivers. Yes, they got a coach who did

252
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: a great job last year that might have been his

253
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: best coaching job. And that guy and that guy won

254
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: a championship already. You know last year they won forty

255
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: eight games. They went to Oakland and beat the Warriors,

256
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: who weren't injured at the time, with Kay Day, with everybody,

257
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: and they won two games without any stars, without any stars.

258
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: Jac Rivers and Kevin Garnett have a title. It is

259
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: because Danny Angel built a superteam. That's it. Let's not

260
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: give Joc Rivers all the credit in the world. He

261
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: still has to do. Well. What did he do with

262
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: lob City. They flamed out every year in the playoffs.

263
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: Come on, Doc Rivers, you bet a good coach, but

264
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: great Come on, won championship and I'm telling you last

265
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: year's job. The way you put that team together. After

266
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: they traded Tobias Harris, Chris Boussard sat at this at

267
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: this desk right here and told me that they were

268
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: they were taking that the Clippers were taking. They traded

269
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: away Tobias Harris. There's no way that they want to

270
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: win and make the playoffs because they have to give

271
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: up their first round picking. You know what they did.

272
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: They made the playoffs. They won forty eight games. They

273
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: pushed the Warriors. It was a great run. And then

274
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: in the off season they added two of the best

275
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: players in the league. That team is going to win

276
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: a championship. They're better than the Lakers when the season started.

277
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: They're better than the Lakers now, and they'll be better

278
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: than the Lakers when the playoffs start. Stop it stop it, Hey,

279
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: I want to know those guys are healthy, right, Lebron's

280
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: turning thirty five at the end of this month, and

281
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: you're not giving him any credit at all. What are

282
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: you talking about? He's been phenomenal. The Lakers had the

283
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: best record in the league at the one third mark.

284
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: Lebron leads the league and assists. He's the entire NBA

285
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: and assist and you're not giving him credit. What do

286
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: you I mean? Is he an American Express card? I

287
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: don't understand what you want from him. What do you

288
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: want me to say? He's playing great? And year Lebron

289
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: playing great? And year seventeen, I was surprised Lebron. No,

290
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: here's the problem I have after last year's dismal, uh

291
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: disappointing season, because remember he came back no stop. When

292
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: he came back, he said he was in what he said,

293
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: he's a playoff activated. Do you remember the whole I'm

294
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: playoff activate? And then what happened? They lost to the Hawks,

295
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: they lost to the Grizzlies, they lost to the Suns.

296
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: This is when Lebron James last year and they didn't

297
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Hold on so so this year because

298
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: he wasn't in the playoffs, Lebron came out like trying

299
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: to prove something. I'm gonna go out and I'm gonna

300
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: be I'm gonna do this and show everybody I'm still

301
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: the guy and I'm not washed up that that was

302
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: all for show. But that at thirty five and year

303
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: seventeen with a long NBA season doesn't make sense. Lebron

304
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: might be on fumes come the end of the year

305
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: if he continued to play at that pace. So that

306
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: made no sense. I didn't understand what he was trying

307
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: to do. I will give you credit. He put up stats,

308
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: put up numbers that the beginning of this schedule was

309
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: a lot of easy teams and they dominated. But when

310
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: it came time he could have made a statement with

311
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: the Clippers with that game on Christmas Day, they could

312
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: have made another statement against against the Bucks. They didn't

313
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: do either one. And I'm telling you those two teams

314
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: are in their way for a championship. That's why I

315
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: called them frauds. So last year, you want to bag

316
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: on Lebron last year? Do you know who he was

317
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: playing with last year that he was playing with a

318
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: guy named Lance Stevenson. Do you think he's in the NBA?

319
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: Yes or no? Right now. No, he's not playing like Japan.

320
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: He's playing with Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram. You know what

321
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: everybody told me. Do you know how bad the Pelicans

322
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: are this year? Was Lonzo and Ingram. They're like a

323
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: seven win team. One of the worst track could have

324
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: said that Lonzo was gonna be like a magic Johnson

325
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: said that he's gonna Lonzo's gonna break all my records. Yeah, like,

326
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: come on, give me a break. Last year the Lakers

327
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: were garbage. Okay, Lebron gets hurt. They were garbage this year.

328
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: Best record in the NBA. Now they do not have that.

329
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: Now they have like the second or third best record

330
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: in the NBA. But I want, I want you to

331
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: give a little more respect, put a little more respect

332
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: on Lebron's name. Okay, he came into this year. Everybody

333
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: said he was washed, right, he was hurt last year.

334
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: He's done too many finals trips. The theory of reinvention.

335
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: I've talked about this a lot. Rob You love movies, right,

336
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: remember Robin Williams, the great actor. He was a really

337
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: funny comedian on TV movies and everybody said, oh, he's

338
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: just a comedian. He can't do anything. Else then Robin

339
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: Williams pivoted, starts doing serious movies, launting. There's themes in

340
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: movies music. But what I've seen from Lebron that I've

341
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: loved rob is he has changed his game. He now

342
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: leads the NBA and assists. He's never done that before.

343
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: He said, you know what, I'm gonna be a total facilitator.

344
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a point guard at thirty four to

345
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: thirty five years old. I'm gonna get Anthony Davis involved.

346
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna run the show. I just need we need

347
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: to applaud Lebron for what he's done in his career,

348
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: and especially this year it's been It's not a Lifetime

349
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: Achievement award. If Lebron James doesn't win the NBA Championship

350
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: this year with the Lakers, it's a failure. You could

351
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: talk about all you want about his assist numbers and

352
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: his stats. Lebron is the best stat sheet filler in

353
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: the history of the NBA, and he's a great player.

354
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: But he came to Los Angeles supposedly for one thing

355
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: is to win a championship, and if he doesn't get one,

356
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: then Lebron has failed in Los Angeles. Those are the facts.

357
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: If Kawhi Leonard in the same building who spurned Lebron,

358
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: the Lakers had a chance. Kawhi Leonard had a chance

359
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: to take the easy way out, join a d joined

360
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: Lebron and be on that team. He could take all

361
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: the days off he wanted. They would have easily won

362
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: an NBA championship. And he refused to join Lebron and

363
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: his act. Well, that's because Lebron and the Lakers would

364
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: not capitulate Uncle Dennis. That's why they would give him

365
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: a private jet at the ready and all this money.

366
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: That's I mean, it's pathetic what Uncle Dennis and Diva

367
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: Kawhi left. That's why they waited till the last minute.

368
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: And then they boo hooed after he picked the Clippers

369
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 1: after them. You remember, I'm so everybody, so everybody, all

370
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: the Laker people were so hurt. You don't know how

371
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: many chicken wing bets I want all over Los Angeles,

372
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: people who work at build Yeah, because they all everybody

373
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: was convinced that he was going to the Lakers. Oh,

374
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: there's no choice. I get to play with Lebron and

375
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,239
Speaker 1: go to the Lakers or play with the Clippers. I mean,

376
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: everybody thought it was a done deal and you did too,

377
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: and they cried like babies, all of them. Yeah, I

378
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: would say it was a shocker, But now we know

379
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: why he picked the Clippers, because clearly they conceded to

380
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: Uncle Dennis and Diva Kawhi Leonard and say, yeah, we'll

381
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: give you the private jet. We'll give you all the

382
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: money you want. Steve Bumber's got more money than god.

383
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, my god, that guy's so wealthy. Like, give Kawhi,

384
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: her uncle Dennislos, divas whatever they want. Listen as often

385
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: as you go in on Lebron, I will double down

386
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: on that fraud. Kawhi, Leonard Gott, I'm so over that guy.

424

Speaker 1: You could follow us on Twitter, but I think we

425
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: like Instagram more. Rob Parker now has a sneaker fetish

426
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: now that he's all wealthy. But would you stop saying

427
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: that he's buying all these sneakers. I'm just I work hard,

428
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: you know, I got like my jobs. So we got

429
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: the Big ten network on here in the studio. Alabama,

430
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: Ohio State. One of the really awesome games of the playoffs,

431
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott just went eighty yards for a house call

432
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: to lock it up. That was a phenomenal game, Rob Parker,

433
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: I do listen. I'm not a bowl game guy. I

434
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: can't stand these exhibition games, but the playoff games should

435
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: be fun this weekend. By the way, they're tomorrow. They

436
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: gotta sneak up on you, right, you got Christmas NFL

437
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: winding down. Those NBA games on Christmas were really really

438
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: uh decent, I guess at the start of the NBA season. Yeah,

439
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: but I don't know, you know, Yeah, Lebrun gets down

440
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: for the second Christmas in a row. Um, Rob, let

441
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: me quickly ask you about are you into this NBA

442
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: ratings struggle story at all? Because NBA ratings have been

443
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: down considerably. Um, I know that Jef Curry is not there.

444
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: But here's my thing. Do you think it's more about

445
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: the young guys cutting cable? You know a lot of

446
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: like millennials in their twenties. You talk to them and

447
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: they don't have cable TV, so they can't watch a

448
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: lot of these games. And then you look at the

449
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: rather watched the clips. They watched the clips more you

450
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: just watch the highlights. I mean, when you really look

451
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: at it, there's so many other options as opposed to

452
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: when we were growing up. I mean I didn't get

453
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: cable to like fifth grade. I didn't get cable until

454
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: I went to college. You know what, because we didn't

455
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: have in New York. I grew up in New York

456
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: when the only Manhattan had cable and the other four

457
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: boroughs didn't. And it was basically, I don't know if

458
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: you remember this, but our borough president, Donald Mannus was

459
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: his name. He was involved in He withheld queens until

460
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: the cable companies paid him off seriously. And then Donald

461
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: Mannus wind up committing suicide and we got cable like

462
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: three months later. I'm not kidding, I know, I'm just saying,

463
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: but that's how long it took us to get cable.

464
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: But the point of it's not just that, I also

465
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: believe I don't know. I thought that this year would

466
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: be different, and that it was burnout from the Warriors.

467
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: They had made the finals five years in the row.

468
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: It was kind of anti climatic, right, We already knew

469
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: who was going to be in the finals. For the

470
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: most part, it was the same two or three teams

471
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: every year, and so I think the last couple of years,

472
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: I thought people were getting tired of that, and I

473
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: thought this year was gonna be different because nobody really

474
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: knew for sure who was going to be in the finals.

475
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: And then the Raiders come out and they're bad and

476
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: then they're bad. But Rob, I think the opposite is true.

477
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: People love super teams. Patriots have been on top of

478
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: the NFL for two decades basically, and the ratings have

479
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: only gone up. The Patriots have been dominant for two decades.

480
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: The NFL has had its ratings concerns as well. It

481
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: had a brief hiccup a few years ago because all

482
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks were hurt. When you look at right now,

483
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: the NBA, no Kevin Durant, no Steph Curry, no super team.

484
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: Like listen, you want to talk about Milwaukee's such an

485
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: awesome team. Nobody's watching Milwaukee. Nobody cares. Why not? He's

486
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: a great player, great players, not musty TV. He's a freak.

487
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: He's like six to eleven. He can dunkle on anybody.

488
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: But you're saying that when they played the Lakers in

489
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 1: that big matchup when they were twenty four and four,

490
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: they got good, right, because the Bucks are built for

491
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 1: the regular season Bucks Laker, No, No, it's not. They

492
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: weren't watching the Bucks. People love lib what would they

493
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: also wanted to see? You? Honest, I thought that was

494
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: they were both twenty four and four. That was a

495
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: great matchup. And then of course Sundays Lakers Clippers. We

496
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: have the highest rated game of the year, which sense

497
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: everybody's home. It's a holiday, it's eight o'clock, you open

498
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: your presents, you ate your food, and now you're looking

499
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: for some entertainment. And the old days before the NBA

500
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: had these games on them, used to watch a movie

501
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: on Christmas night. That's what people used to do. And

502
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: now you watch NBA, which is fine to understand the

503
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: five games people at home, it's good. It is a

504
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: little surprising at how bad the ratings are. And we'll

505
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: see now that football's coming to an end, you know,

506
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: and the regular season is starting to heat up a

507
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: little bit. If the numbers will improve as it builds up, too,

508
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: they're not gonna improve. Do you think this is all

509
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: cable cutting? Well, no, no, I think that's a big

510
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: part of it. But again I'll come back to this.

511
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: Steph Curry was a huge boon to the NBA. Okay,

512
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: he led the NBA in Jersey sales for three straight years.

513
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: The Warriors were a ratings juggernaut because they played a

514
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: beautiful brand of basketball. Okay, they came out of nowhere

515
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: and dominated and basically for about a decade, all people

516
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: wanted to watch was the Lakers. I'm sorry, not the

517
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: Lakers Lebron dominating, or the Warriors anyone else that it

518
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: was like the Lakers stunk. Look at the big cities.

519
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: The New York Knicks have stunk for over a decade.

520
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: All the Chicago Bulls have been awful minute Derrick Rose

521
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: for like a two years, and the Clip the Lakers,

522
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, until this year, have been pretty bad. Right,

523
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: Kobe's teams, Uh were awful at the end, Like you

524
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: need those big markets to be good, and they've been terrible.

525
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: For the NBA, Yeah, I get that, but I still wonder,

526
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: um because everybody was talking about the NBA. Oh it's global,

527
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: everybody loves the NBA stuff, and that doesn't help. I

528
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: don't think that helped at all. I agree with you.

529
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: I think there are people still mad at the NBA

530
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: that waited that thing was handled and some of the

531
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: stuff that came out Lebron's comments, I don't think a

532
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: lot of people appreciated those as well. Um. So, so

533
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: I agreed. As it has been a rocky start for

534
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: the NBA, they need to think about and the whole

535
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: tournament midst The tournament is like the dumbest thing I've

536
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: ever heard of. I mean, why, why in the world

537
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: would Adam Silver even entertain it? I got a better plan.

538
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: You want to fix the NBA, how about this Instead

539
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: of sixteen of the thirty teams making the playoffs, which

540
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: is weekends the regular season and why people don't want

541
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: to pay attention to it because half more than half

542
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: the league makes it. How about this? Now you only

543
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: put five teams from each conference. Now the regular season matters.

544
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: If you were to have less teams, no, because you'd

545
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 1: have to pay attention. I couldn't do way, I couldn't

546
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: do load management if only five teams were making it.

547
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: But the big different owners would never ever that. Right now,

548
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: you take away the playoffs and some of these teams

549
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: and they can't host the playoffs game. They're they're gonna

550
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 1: lose money for the season. But you have to do

551
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: something to fix the regular season and adding a tournament.

552
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: Could you imagine if Lebron James got hurt playing in

553
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: a meaningless tournament and around Thanksgiving Christmas time, that would

554
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: be the dumbest thing ever. My belief is this is

555
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: all misdirection, right. I think the NBA's trying to say, oh,

556
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: our ratings aren't bad. We got this great idea over

557
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: here for an in season tournament. You're like, what the hell?

558
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: It takes a month to explain the darn thing. And

559
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: then I love Rob how they sweeten the deal with, Hey,

560
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: well you're gonna get anybody a million dollars of a

561
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: salary of the NBA. He's like seven hundred and fifty

562
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, Like, come on, that's nothing to these guys.

563
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: This is, you're right, awful idea we finally agree on something. Yes,

564
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: we do agree on ninety minutes. That's a terrible idea.

565
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. That's something that needs to be rethought.

566
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: And like I said, the goal is to win a championship.

567
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: God forbid. You want these guys to play hard? Is

568
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: it is an exhibition or you know what Washington General's

569
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: available to be involved in that? Or are you asking

570
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: people to really play hard? And my goodness, if a

571
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: star player gets hurt in that tournament and not be

572
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: available for the real finals or whatever, what would you think? Yeah,

573
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: and what happens if, like Luca Donchez he just went down.

574
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: Now he's back, but he was down for two weeks.

575
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: This guy's one of the best, one of the best

576
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: players in the league already, no doubt. And like, imagine

577
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: if he got hurt in that whatever that middle of

578
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: the season tournament is and he wasn't available for the

579
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: playoffs because, like you know, you need stars in the

580
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: NBA is a star driven league. Okay, I'm sorry. You

581
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: could tell me Chris Middleton's an All Star. Nobody cares

582
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: about that guy. There's only there's only less than ten

583
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: guys in the league that you're tuning in to watch.

584
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: I agree. And we haven't even seen Zion Williamson yet.

585
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: By the way, did you see the Zion story. The

586
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: Pelicans are teaching him how to run now because of

587
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: his weight and like his body's not gonna be able

588
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,719
Speaker 1: to handle trying to twenty one year old man how

589
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: to run. They're saying that the way that he's running

590
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: now is part of the issues that he's had because

591
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:51,239
Speaker 1: he's had like three injuries. Right, the guy's only one

592
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: three injury. They better not screw up Zion Williamson. I'll

593
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: tell you that right now. They bet I want to

594
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: see this guy play. He is a human highlight reel.

595
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: When he was in the Summer League, I tuned in.

596
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: You're tuning in to watch Zion Williamson. No, if you

597
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: want to watch him, but it'll be interesting to see.

598
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: Do you think he'll play this shoe? I think he's

599
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: gonna sit out like Ben Simmons did, Blake Griffin did,

600
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: Like what's the value and going out and then the

601
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: team stinks? Why not tank and get a top five pick?

602
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: How about? How about when you talk about bad ratings,

603
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: remember those games, all the Pelicans games. They put them

604
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: on natural TV A lot Warriors Warriors. How about ESPN

605
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: backed out of a Warriors game earlier this year? Did

606
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: you see that? Like a week or two ago. They

607
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: was a Friday night they backed out of the game.

608
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: They're starting a bunch of guys who were like G

609
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: League quality players. But as I told you recently, I

610
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: ran into Steph Curry at my gym that where I

611
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: played basketball and work out and everything. Steph Curry was

612
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: in the area getting hand surgery. So I'm I walk

613
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: out of plans and pick up basketball. I see this.

614
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: You know a couple of tall guys, and I'm like

615
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: those guys are tall people walking toward them. They had

616
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: their backs to me, are like, oh my gosh, look

617
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: who it is. And I was like, that's Curry. So

618
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: he started talking and I had interviewed him before, so wayman,

619
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: you went over to introduce yourself to I was like, hey, Steph,

620
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: you probably don't remember me. And he turns in looks

621
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, yeah, I remember you. But he was

622
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: probably just being nice, you know. I do say a

623
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: lot of nice stuff about Steph Curry. I've been banging

624
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: that he's the second best point guard in NBA history.

625
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: I've started that a couple of years ago. And Curry

626
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: so must not playing defense or being hidden defensively. That

627
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: makes a great defender. But he's one of the transformative

628
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: NBA players in the history of not better than Isaiah Thomas,

629
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: Neveriah Tomayah Thomas in his prime beat Michael Jordan, Larry Bird,

630
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: and Magic Johnson preach stopping how many how many awards

631
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: for Isaiah? Nobody else did that. I'm telling you how

632
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: many first votes? And he wanted back to back titles,

633
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: speaking it back to back. Steph Curry went back to

634
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: back as NVB of the NBA in the middle of

635
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: Lebron Curry crime. Steph Curry couldn't even win an MVP

636
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: in the five. Curry is the unanimous MVP in NBA history,

637
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: and Jordan didn't do that. And Steph Curry is the

638
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: author of the biggest choke in NBA Final history. They

639
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: were up three to one, a seventy three win team.

640
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't show my face in public. They choked down.

641
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: What the down? Three to one? Lad? That was bad?

642
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: You want to know what the line was of moms

643
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: taking pictures with Curry As we're talking to get it

644
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: and I say to Steph, I say, Steph, you know

645
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: I pitched on my radio show. You guys end up

646
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: with the worst record in the league. You have the

647
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: number one pick in twenty twenty, you win the lottery,

648
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: you package out with D'Angelo Russell, and you call Milwaukee.

649
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: And he looked at me and goes Jannis. And I said, yeah,

650
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: you call him. Make a run at Yannis and he

651
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: kind of laughs. He said, we're gonna have some options.

652
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: They could go after Yannis, Ben Simmons, Carl Anthony Towns.

653
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm telling you the Warriors maybe down you can kick

654
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: damn and mock the three one they're gonna be back

655
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: next year with a vengeance. I don't way. I don't

656
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: believe it, because you know what, they needed to go

657
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: get Durant and that's the only reason they got. Steph

658
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: has those other championships. Durant no last year and and

659
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: uh run that the Cavaliers team didn't have Kyrie and

660
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: they didn't have Kevin Love. I should mention Draymond was

661
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: suspended but one game and their starting center Andrew Bogan

662
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: was injured in that series, and stuffs the second best

663
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,919
Speaker 1: point guard. He should win it by himself last year,

664
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: the second best last year without Kevin Durant. I told

665
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 1: I banged on this death. No no, uh KD, no title.

666
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: Everybody could go back to being what he was. He

667
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: was overshadowed by k D. Now it's his team again

668
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: and they didn't win a title. Are you kidding? No? No, KD,

669
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: no title. That's what it was last year. You need

670
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: to stop with them. So Clay Thompson gets hurt, KAD

671
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: gets hurt, and they lose to the fraudulent Raptors. Steph

672
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: Curry kidding me with less than twenty seconds ago in

673
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: an NBA playoff game, right and a chance to tie

674
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: the game or put them ahead. Steph Curry is old

675
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: for eight and clutch shots with less than twenty seconds

676
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: ago with the game on the line. And in that

677
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: last playoff game, that game game six, where he had

678
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: a shot to tie, he missed it. He had an

679
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: open look three that could have given them the win.

680
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: Am I right or wrong? Didn't miss that shot? You

681
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: know who? My favorite Isaiah Thomas moment, how was when

682
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's bulls finally broke through in the East, took

683
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: down Isaiah. Isaiah Thomas quit and walked off the court

684
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: with ten seconds. Didn't you shake hands? Just bolted Isaiah Thomas.

685
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: He's got a little Antonio Brown because the guy I've

686
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: met out here in Las friends with him and introduced

687
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 1: me to a lot of people. But don't be comparing

688
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas. He's not on say Curry or you know, hey,

689
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: you know what's gonna happen with the STA this year,

690
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: maybe next year. Lebron is gonna pass Isaiah Thomas for

691
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: more assists in his career. Lebron is a stat I

692
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: told you nobody pads stats better than That's Russell Westbrook.

693
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: Stop it, Lebron because he's a beast, all right, but

694
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: he's also has six finals losses. Let me ask you

695
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 1: who's who has Who's we need to do a top

696
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: twenty NBA players all time? Is Isaiah Thomas a top

697
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: twenty all time? And I don't have to I don't.

698
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if he is. He's close, He's like

699
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: Curry's in there, no doubt Isaiah was a monster zeke

700
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: go back and never won an MVP award. Also, you

701
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: know what, Jerry West never won an MVP award either. U. No,

702
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: he didn't. I'm telling you Jerry West won final, regular season, MVP,

703
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: never loss. Look that up. Google is the logo? Google it.

704
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: So now he'll be all of a sudden he got

705
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: quiet because because I'm sorry, I don't know my nineteen

706
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: sixties NBA. I'm just telling you Jerry West didn't win one.

707
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: That's why Lebron is AFO. He didn't win one. I'm

708
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 1: telling Jerry, Yes, and he wont to final. I couldn't

709
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: say that, Okay, So I'm trying to make the point.

710
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: Don't he was just very good. Don't use that against Isaiah.

711
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: The guys there were times when big guys won all

712
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: the MVP. Just like in the NFL where where the

713
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks win all the MVP awards. That doesn't mean that

714
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: a guy raised ahead of Jerry West. No, I'm just

715
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: trying to no doubt, Jerry West lost the finals nine times. Guys.

716
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: Come on, I'm just trying to tell your la what

717
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: they were able to do. And I just told you

718
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: Isaiah be Jordan, Bird and Magic all in their prime

719
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: and he didn't have the tall and they the bad boys.

720
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: They were winning games because they were roughing up everybody, Spiders, Sally,

Speaker 1: has one. Steph Curry has one one title. We might

726
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: have to leave. You might have to turn off the camera.

727
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: You're saying now that Steph Curry has one title on

728
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,080

787
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: Mercedes AMG Driving Performance. A couple of bowl games today.

788
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody cares and their exhibition games,

789
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: right Rob, Like what like, what where's the interest level

790
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: in bowl games? Uh? No, you know what's happened. It's

791
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: not me. The playoff killed it. Now it used to

792
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,919
Speaker 1: be now but as part of it. But it used

793
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: to be a big deal when there was only a

794
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: handful of It's a bowl game that just you know,

795
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: it's like anything, you kill it, and and and it's

796
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: just not the entrance. There's all these bowl games on,

797
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: can't watch it. Basically, the players started to get smart.

798
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: These games mean nothing to the player. I wouldn't play

799
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: in those if I was a big strong heading to

800
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. Why so the National Championship Game I would

801
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: play in, But anything else I would bow out. Yeah.

802
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: North Carolina Temple. I have already bet North Carolina line

803
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,919
Speaker 1: starting to move. Hey, North Carolina pretty good with Mac

804
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: Brown there, you got a bet. You got a bad

805
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: year Bett. College football is rough, NFL has been good.

806
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: College college football is not great. Um, Michigan State, Wake Forest.

807
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: I took wake Forest, Oklahoma State A and M. I

808
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: got A and M. But at six and a half

809
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 1: it's down to four and a half. That's not great.

810
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: And then the big game tonight USC Iowa. Who you

811
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: got in that? When Clay Helton uh for USC. I

812
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: think there's could be a lot of points. That's mine

813
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: who do a lot a lot of points. But who

814
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: do you have? I took you, Let's see. Okay, everybody's

815
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: taken Iowa. So I'm like, I'll go the other way

816
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: and then Air Force Washington State? Who cares the big

817
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: playoff games tomorrow? Obviously, But the big news today Antonio

818
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: Brown in New Orleans doesn't It doesn't mean they have

819
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: a deal done. They say, they say they're doing their

820
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: due diligence, and I get it, and they're taking a

821
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: look at him and watch. Now that they've done that,

822
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: that will open up other teams to bring them in

823
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: as well. I believe that because once they go what

824
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: what are the Saints doing? What do they see? Why

825
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: are they willing to do this? Do they know something

826
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: we don't know? Is he gonna be available? We need

827
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: to take a look at him to see what this guy.

828
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: You said it earlier, Jason, he's only thirty one, he's

829
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: not an old guy. Not people know that this guy

830
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: can still play, and we saw a little bit up

831
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: in New Wing. I don't I don't necessarily think it's

832
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 1: the play rob. Everybody knows he's skilled and fast and

833
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: you can get open. It's the other stuff. Man, the baggage.

834
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: Who us to deal with that? A lot of people

835
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: deal with baggage if it's worth it, if the guy

836
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: can help you win. That's why I think people get

837
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: second and third. You know this. The minute you can't

838
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: play anymore, they don't believe you can help them. You're

839
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: done about the way, right the Ray Rice video that

840
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: hurt him, right, Okay, we got it, but we've seen

841
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: people do some really bad stuff and still get another opportunity.

842
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: They didn't believe he could play anymore. That's why he

843
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 1: never got another chance. I disagree with that, Ray Rice. Yeah,

844
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to revisit that too too old. I

845
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: want to ask you about Josh Gordon. Okay, we got

846
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: Josh going got nothing but chances. Well, but he's never

847
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: really done anything in recent years against the law other

848
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: than he's basically a can't get off alcohol, can't get off.

849
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: But those are the rules of the league. That's why

850
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: he keeps and that's the thing. So you would not

851
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: have given Josh gordons I did not say that. But

852
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: my point is the only reason that Josh Gordon continues

853
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: to get opportunities is because you could catch the football,

854
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: right that's all I'm saying, is really only hurting himself. Yeah,

855
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: but as far as I know that it's been reported,

856
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown's hurting other people. And that's why I'm not

857
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: I'm just not in on that man. Josh Gordon. By

858
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: the way, which Seattle was pretty good, Seattle was on

859
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: the way to the number one seed. What happened last week?

860
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,439
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon fails another drug test, out done, Seattle gets

861
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,760
Speaker 1: curb stomped by Arizona, and now if they lose Sam France,

862
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:32,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to go on the road in the

863
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 1: first round. And listen, Josh Gordon, it worked while it worked.

864
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: Your argument is I got an issue with your argument

865
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: about hurting other people because there are other people I

866
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: brought up. I could. I don't have the list in

867
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: front of me, but I bought up Hardy, I brought

868
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: up um all kinds of people who were convicted of

869
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: bad stuff against other people, and they got other opportunities.

870
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: Is that not? Is that not right? I'm not true?

871
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean, what did you say? It really is a

872
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: case by case basis, Like I just don't know what

873
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown brings to the table in the locker room.

874
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: Remember this is a guy Rob Parker after or I'm sorry,

875
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: before the Patriots playoff game. Guess who's going on uh

876
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: FaceTime and posting a YouTube live or whatever. It was

877
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, Mike Tomlin's making a speech. It's not the

878
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: end of the world. But Tomlin was caught on video saying,

879
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, bleep, bleep bleep the Patriots. You think Bill

880
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: Belichick didn't use that as AMMO. It's just a consistency

881
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: thing of always doing the wrong thing outside the hashes.

882
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't need those headaches. I think you're overdoing. Uh.

883
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,959
Speaker 1: He's got issues, there's no doubt about it. He needs

884
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: some help. But he's a talented guy, and some guys

885
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: like that are worth taking a chance on him. I

886
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: talked about it earlier, the risk versus the reward you

887
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: at Sometimes you got to take a big risky the

888
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: talented people. That's all I'm so Dell Beckham, same thing

889
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: on the market, same thing are you trading for him?

890
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: People would take a chance? Are you taking? Would take

891
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: a chance on You're giving up what a first un

892
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: pick start, whatever whatever it is. If I think the

893
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 1: guy can help me right now and help me win,

894
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: I do not know yet a bad year in Cleveland,

895
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean he's still a young guy. I

896
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: would take a chance if I really believe boat trip

897
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: just because they got to the playoffs an he went

898
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: and dropped like three passes against the Packers. I'm telling you, man,

899
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: these wide receivers are so over And what about the

900
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,439
Speaker 1: other guys who who who didn't have on boat trip

901
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: and they were terrible in the playoffs. I mean, you

902
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: don't you don't hold it against him because you didn't

903
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: see a picture of them on a boat trip. I

904
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: don't just don't understand that that's leadership. Boat trips right

905
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: before the playoffs, leadership Antonio Brown Beckham class acts. I

906
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: don't think we're done on this topic. He's Rob Parker.

907
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm Jason McIntyre. It is The Dan Patrick Show on
