All right, We 21 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: get nick right for an hour and it's a news 22 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: breaking day. The Lakers just sold for a ten billion 23 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: dollar evaluation, which I believed for a long time. Nick, 24 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: all these sports franchises are undervalued. Whenever they say, you know, 25 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are worth seven billion dollars. My take is 26 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: if somebody in Saudi Arabia had a good month with oil, 27 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: they buy him for thirteen billion. Because you don't know 28 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: if Google is going to be around in twenty years 29 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: or Microsoft. You know the Dallas Cowboys are going to 30 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 1: be around in twenty years. In fact, I remember reading 31 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: a story years and years ago they went back to 32 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: like nineteen eighty and they took the thirty leading companies 33 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: on the Dow Jones, and twenty five years later only 34 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: one was still like a really it was like Chevron 35 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: or something. And so my point is the Mark Walters 36 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: group is the Dodger owner. It's a really good group. 37 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: And it does make me think, Okay, the mom and 38 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: pop Lakers are over, because that's been the big knock 39 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: in LA is that. I mean, people forget little old 40 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: Van Gilbert could buy the Bus family four times. They've 41 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: been one of the poorest NBA ownership groups. 42 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 2: Correct, and one of the poorest from a net worth perspective, 43 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: and I would argue that they haven't. 44 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: They have been one of the more poorly run organizations 45 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: in the league. 46 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 2: And I know that's weird because they have the second 47 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: most championships and they just got Luke and Lebron went there. 48 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: But I think that they have squandered a lot of opportunities. 49 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 2: I think that since doctor Bus passed, they have There 50 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: are very few things you can say the Lakers do 51 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 2: top notch in the league. And while they have been, 52 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: you know, willing to spend, I think they've you know, 53 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 2: last decade, they've spent like the seventh most money they 54 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 2: should be the seventh most for Los Angeles Lakers. Is 55 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: not maximizing the market and the brand. I understand, it's 56 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 2: not baseball, so there is a cap. And in the 57 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: new NBA with the aprons, just spending recklessly can really 58 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 2: hamstring you. But this is a massive net positive for 59 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Lakers for their fans. In my opinion, 60 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 2: you should not have They're in a weird spot. We're 61 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: similar to the Cowboys, where ownership's primary source of income 62 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: is the team, and that's one of the reasons I 63 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: think the Cowboys don't necessarily spend the way they should, 64 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: and that's how I have felt about the Lakers. So listen, 65 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: I don't know much about Mark Walters. I know that 66 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: he bought twenty six percent of the team from I 67 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: think A Shoots or whomever with the guarantee. Part of 68 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: that was if the buses sell, I get the first opportunity, 69 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: and now he's in. 70 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: Now I agree agree with you. 71 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: Historically sports franchises have been undervalued. I wonder if we 72 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: are now getting to wear ten billions, ten billion dollars 73 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: kind of like, that's a lot thing about this money. 74 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: So the the Celtics sold for six billion. The GDP 75 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: of Boston, the gross domestic product is six hundred million annually. 76 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: It's a trillion. In Los Angeles. The Los Angeles economy 77 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: would be the twentieth biggest economy in the world, meaning 78 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: it would be bigger than about one hundred and eighty 79 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: five countries. So and so, and they own the the 80 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: Lakers own their arena, so that's an importance. So like 81 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: you just if the arenas worth two billion, given where 82 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: it is in the real estate and whatever. 83 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: So now it's not six versus ten. At six versus eight. 84 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 2: And you take the fact that LA's a bigger market, 85 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: and you know, as much as this will pain our 86 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: buddy Bill Simmons, the Lakers are the biggest brand ambasketball. 87 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: Like Celtics were in the finals two years ago, it 88 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: didn't get good rating, It didn't get a number D. 89 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: I mean when the Lakers are in the final, regardless 90 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: of who the star is, it generally gets a much 91 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: bigger rating. Well, yes, it's also true the Lakers have 92 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 1: never been in the finals without one of the biggest 93 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: stars in the laws of like, oh that Lakers time 94 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: they made the finals with that scrappy, underachieving team. No, 95 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: it's Lebron or Kobe or Shacker, Magic or Kareem or Will. 96 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: But still your point stands. 97 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they are the the This is a fun 98 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: one because you did your mount what was it, Mount 99 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,559 Speaker 2: just just more because they're just more than everyone else. 100 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: If we were to do God this is this is 101 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: corny and make funnable content it also I'm sure will 102 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 2: crush on TikTok or something. If we were to do 103 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: the Mount rushmore franchises in American Force. 104 00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: Four. 105 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: To me, there are three no brainers, and then people 106 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: would argue about the four fourth, but the three no 107 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 2: brainers are the New York Yankees, the Dallas Cowboys, and 108 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Lakers. Those to me, do you think 109 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: I'm missing anything there? I think those are the three 110 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 2: brands that are truly. 111 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: Every corner of the world. 112 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 2: They're you know, somebody's walking around wearing a T shirt 113 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: even if they've never heard. 114 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: Of the team. Yeah, I think I will say this. 115 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: I think the LA Dodgers because of the Walters Group, 116 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 1: perfect spring, summer, fall weather, O tawny. Now is you 117 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: know Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Dodger games are now an event. 118 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: There are fans from the Pacific rim. Every home game 119 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: owed attendance for the Dodgers is number one in the league. 120 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: They played the Yankees, I think it was last year 121 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: if I like twenty five percent of the crowd was 122 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: Dodger fans. They travel incredibly well. I think the Dodgers 123 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: over the last eight since they've been purchased from the 124 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: Mark Walters Group, I think they have become and I'm 125 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: and I mean this, I think they're a step ahead 126 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: of the Yankees. They don't have all the pennants, they 127 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: don't have all the titles. But this ownership group is 128 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: much more It's got deeper pockets. It's more aggressive. I 129 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: mean the way they are pushing contracts down the road. 130 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: They are a revolutionary fans, but they're not a bigger 131 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: brand than the New York Games. I think they're getting close. 132 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: I think Otawni changes it. I really do. Well. 133 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: If the idea is like Otani brings in and a 134 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: whole similar to Iron stand why I think he brings 135 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 2: in the Pacific Round Like what yeah, like what Yao 136 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: Ming did for the Houston Rockets. 137 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: We're all of a sudden, it's like you have this 138 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: whole new market. But if so, the. 139 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: Because I really maybe eventually the Dodgers get there. If Yankees, Cowboys, 140 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 2: Lakers is the three the teams across sports competing for 141 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 2: that fourth spot, Dodgers definitely are in the contention. The 142 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: Celtics are the Warriors, No, probably not, because that's good. 143 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: The Warriors are like the Chiefs in that it's the 144 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 2: super nova of the moment in Mahomes or Steph Curry, 145 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: but they don't have a history to where they're this 146 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: big brand. So do you think you think the Dodgers 147 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: now have surpassed the Cubs, Yes, as the second biggest 148 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: brands in base Yes, okay, because again, remember Chicago wanted 149 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 2: the Olympics. 150 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: Why couldn't they get them? Because they were not considered 151 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: a global city. They were considered maybe are They're like, 152 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: Chicago has won Best North American City seven years in 153 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: a row from Conde nas Texture. It's an unbelievable city, 154 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: but it's not viewed as an international city. D C. 155 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: San Francisco, LA, New York. Boston similarly is not necessarily 156 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: seen It's seen as kind of parential for prudential parochial. 157 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: So I think they've surfaced. And the Cubs, the Ricketts family, 158 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: which by the way, they live about five minutes from 159 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: where I'm sitting right now, they are it seats thirty 160 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: six thousand, Their revenues just don't. They're not close. They're 161 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: just not close anymore so. And I think the Cubs 162 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: are historic and they matter domestically, but I don't think 163 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: they pull a big number for that. 164 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: That might be right, and it also might be a 165 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 2: lot of the benefit of the Cubs win away or 166 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: benefits their own word, but brand recognition, for lack of 167 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: better term of the Cubs had to do with if 168 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 2: you're a millennial, when you were growing up with like 169 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 2: basic cable, for some reason, you got the Cubs games 170 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 2: because of WGN, so you could like watch your team 171 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 2: and the Cubs, and so they had that and now 172 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 2: people can watch whatever teams they want. I just saw 173 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: the who do you sorry for this slight detour, but 174 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 2: after the Cowboys, what do you think the biggest brand 175 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 2: in football is? Like I hesitate in the moment, it's 176 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 2: obviously the Chiefs, but you wonder, like if Mahomes retired, 177 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,599 Speaker 2: like's an interesting everyone if nobody cares if you bought. 178 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: The Chiefs today, well you would have to consider Andy 179 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: Reid and Patrick Mahomes part of the buye. So this idea, 180 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: well the brand, what is the brand right now? Jerry 181 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: Jones is eighty, They're dysfunctional, their roster's bad. There's value 182 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: to it. But Kansas City's got the best quarterback in 183 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: the league for the next ten years. So I mean 184 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: that when Lebron James went from the Miami Heat back 185 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: to Dan Gilbert in Cleveland, I talked to somebody in 186 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: that billion equity space. He said that was a four 187 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: hundred million, billion dollar day for Dan Gilbert, the Calves 188 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: without Lebron, even with Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell, Lebron 189 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: changed that. It was a paradigm shift economically for Cleveland. Literally, 190 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: Ken Griffey saved baseball in Seattle. Lebron James changed the economy. 191 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift's tour, an example, made two point one billion dollars, 192 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: sold ten million tickets. That is double the next biggest 193 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: tour ever. So it's only big because of one reason, 194 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: the artist. So if you count, I mean, let's be honest, 195 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: if you bought a soccer franchise ten years ago and 196 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: Ronaldo had an eight year contract, it would make it 197 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: worth half a billion dollars more So, I think the 198 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: Chiefs with Mahomes, that adds to me, that adds half 199 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: of somewhere between five hundred billion and a billion dollars. 200 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: They go from six billion to seven because of Mahomes. Well, 201 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: so that's the other piece of this. 202 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 2: The other piece of this is if the if the 203 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 2: most valuable team in the NBA is now worth ten 204 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 2: billion dollars, what is the most valuable team in the NFL? 205 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: Worth is it fifteen billion? 206 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 2: Like? Honestly, like, what is if this is the new 207 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 2: Because you can't tell like as much as as big 208 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 2: of a brand as Lakers are. And I understand in 209 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 2: the NBA's new TV deal, I get all that there 210 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 2: is nothing that is the machine, that is the NFL. 211 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 2: So if the Lake, if we now have Lakers ten billion, 212 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 2: Celtic six billion, you know as the metrics, then the 213 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 2: if forget the Cowboys. I'm trying to think of a good, 214 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: you know, a good If the San Francisco forty nine ers, yeah, 215 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 2: were for sale, are they a ten billion dollar franchise. 216 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: I'll give you. I'll give you one that is undervalued. 217 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: Cronky owns Sofi Stadium. Well, yeah, the owning the stadium 218 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: is so if you bought the Rams, I get Sofi Stadium, 219 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: which can house a hundred concerts a year, and the 220 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: Chargers and the Rams. So you have to consider that 221 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: when you buy the Rams, so I would stay in 222 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: the number two market in the country. I get Sean McVeigh, 223 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: I get a well run operation, I get Sofi. I'm sorry, 224 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: but that's over ten billion dollars. I mean, if it's God, 225 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: it has to be just. It just has to be. 226 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 2: If they now that the Lakers are worth ten the 227 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: biggest NFL brands have to be worth more, you know what, 228 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 2: It just it just has to be and to your point, 229 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: and then we can move on to other things. 230 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: I'm sure. 231 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 2: Just because this makes me laugh so much. The so 232 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 2: and I looked this up the other day. This is 233 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 2: why I have it. 234 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: When David Glass bought the Royals, hold on the which 235 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: was it wasn't a lifetime ago because he sold him 236 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 1: for a billion dollars six years ago or whatever to 237 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: John Sherman. So, David Glass, by the way, this is 238 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,239 Speaker 1: to your point that franchises at one point were undervalued. 239 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: And understand it's the Royals. I understand, it's small market, 240 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: I get it. 241 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: It's still one of thirty Major League Baseball teams, and 242 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 2: it's a team that has some history, had won a 243 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 2: World Series. He bought the Royals, not in nineteen fifty four. 244 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 2: He bought the Royals in two thousand and You're like, 245 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 2: how did David Glass get the money for buying the Royals, 246 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 2: And it's well, he was the CEO of Walmart, which 247 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 2: obviously is a high paying job, but usually like CEO, 248 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: is not high paying enough to buy professional sports team. 249 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 2: Except for the fact that in the year two thousand, 250 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 2: The Kansas City Royals were sold for ninety six million 251 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 2: dollars crazy, Like can you believe it? Like can you 252 00:14:53,200 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: believe it? Two thousand quarter century ago? A professional baseball team. 253 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 2: It's like, what's it worth? I don't know, certainly not 254 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 2: one hundred million. That's crazy, and like it's it is. 255 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 2: The Royals were sold for slightly more than Juan Soto 256 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: will make in a year. It's just banan and then 257 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 2: he sold it for a billion six years ago, and 258 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 2: now they're probably worth two just because like you're saying, 259 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 2: the price of these franchises. It's also why for the 260 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 2: cheap baseball owners, I've always been frustrated because they're like, well, 261 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: you know, you know, we don't have to make money, 262 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 2: but we can't be losing money. I'm like, man, the 263 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 2: money you are making is on the eventual cash out 264 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: in that you are going to ten x this with inevitability. 265 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 2: And the value of the sports team is the fact 266 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: that there are every super rich guy in the world 267 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 2: can buy a yacht, every super rich guy in the 268 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: world can buy the sick house and the fanciest cars, 269 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 2: all of it. The exclusivity of you want to you know, 270 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: sit courtside at the NBA games as the team owner. 271 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 2: You want to be in the luxury box as the 272 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 2: team owner. You know at a football game, Well there's 273 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: only thirty spots, or there's only thirty two spots. 274 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: That's what people are paying for. Yeah, I've always thought 275 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: this stuff is undervalued. And that's not a shot. When 276 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: I talked about the Celtics going for six billion, I 277 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: think if I have Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown and 278 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: the best young GM arguably outside of Oklahoma City, and 279 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: Brad Stevens, that has to be considered. All of it's considered, 280 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: and it's I mean, a company's as valuable usually as 281 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: their technology and their people. And so when you have 282 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: you know, when you have stars in their prime, that 283 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: adds value to it. 284 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: I mean, right, right, but it is, but it is, 285 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 2: it's crazy and then we can move on how quick. 286 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: When Balmer bought the clip yees ye, people freaked out 287 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: it was two billion, and I remember going on the 288 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: air saying, exactly right, it doesn't matter that he overpaid. 289 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: He paid cash, so it's a true two billion. Secondly, 290 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: he's never selling it, so it will be worth ten 291 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: billion in the future. He'll make five times the money. 292 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: And as long as it works on an operating level, 293 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: on a positive cash flows a dollar a year, it's 294 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: a steal at two billion dollars in the LA market. 295 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: And now you plan the same now now they built 296 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: their own arena now. But and also you have to 297 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: remember about Bomer. I read a story once about Steve 298 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: Baumer's net worth. He makes I swear to god, he 299 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: makes a billion dollars a year on his Microsoft dividends. Oh, 300 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: he's dividends. So it's like, guys if the idea that 301 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: these guys like Walters doesn't know what he's doing, like 302 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. 303 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 2: Well, the and again it's just the the NBA franchise 304 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 2: values going like this this quickly, we're ten years ago 305 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 2: two billion for a team in the number two market 306 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 2: that at the time had stars. 307 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: You know, it's not like the Clippers were. That was 308 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: the lob City era. 309 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 2: And then a couple of years ago the Hornets sell 310 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 2: for three billion, and it like and now the and 311 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 2: the prestige franchises. Here's the other interesting angle to this. 312 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 2: Man Lebron has always said, I want to buy a team. 313 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 2: I'm gonna buy a team I'm gonna buy a team, man, 314 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 2: the expansion fee is going to be six billion dollars 315 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 2: like no matter. I know Lebron has done incredibly well 316 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,959 Speaker 2: and all that, but like he doesn't have no billions 317 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 2: with a plural like. 318 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: I mean, the truth is, when Mark Cuban bought the Mavericks, 319 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: he only owned fifty one percent. So none of these 320 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: guys own all of it, right, Yeah, I mean it's 321 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: it's Elon Musk when he bought x or Twitter, he had, 322 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: he had Saudi money he had. Also, he didn't buy 323 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: all of it. He's not going to spend all his 324 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 1: forty four billion dollars. He didn't have forty four billion 325 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: dollars of cash everything. The smartest people in the world 326 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: get good rates everybody.

I was 367 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: pretty harder on than WNBA when Caitlin Clark came in, 368 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: and I thought, guys, you can't open up with a 369 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: New York Liberty and the Connecticut Sun. You want to 370 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: groove her into some wins, because remember she went from 371 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: the final four into camp into playing She and the WNBA, 372 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: they probably knew she would be good, they didn't think 373 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: she'd quite be this good, but it's getting to be 374 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: a little bit like MJ is that. And they've done 375 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: a better job this year. They had an easier schedule, 376 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: they've put the games on television, so that WNBA took 377 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: a lot of heat, a lot of heat. And Val Ackerman, 378 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: the Commissioner's like, Okay, we got ourselves a complete Taylor 379 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: Swift and tennis shoes rock star and they've done a 380 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: much better job this year. The officiating is not great, 381 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: but the league's now just starting to make real money now, right, Like, 382 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,239 Speaker 1: so it's the officials maybe the last part, you know, 383 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: it's well, yeah, I wonder with that. And I don't know, 384 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: I'm not educated enough. 385 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 2: On this about what the hierarchy of officiating is. But 386 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 2: obviously the best basketball officials in the world or in 387 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 2: the NBA want to officiate in the NBA. Let's just 388 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 2: I shouldn't say the world, just let's just do the US. 389 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 2: I assume the second best, like men's college basketball, Well yeah, 390 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 2: I would imagine the third best might be women's college basketball, 391 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 2: because up until recently that was a far bigger industry 392 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 2: than the WNBA, like so has the And again I 393 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 2: am just speculating here. But is the WNBA simply not 394 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 2: picking from the you know, the are the people who 395 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 2: are the best officials are like, well, it's way better 396 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 2: jobs in officiating than they flew. 397 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: They assume that's gonna be. They flew commercial airlines a 398 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: year ago. And yeah, I mean the NBA moved back 399 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: of that in like the eighties, So it's like it's 400 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: it's just a different ballgame. But but I was thinking 401 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: about this, most of the time, the media gets it 402 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: right when it predicts an all time star. In fact, 403 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: I would argue, and I think people listening to this 404 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: would push back that we undersold Tiger. Nobody thought Tiger 405 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: was going to have the lowest scoring average ever, was 406 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: going to have the tied for the most career wins ever, 407 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: has the greatest earnings ever. Nobody, not even Nike, would 408 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: have guessed that. 409 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 2: No, and within five years have the scoring record at 410 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 2: all four majors and the Tigers, you know, the Tigers, Yeah, 411 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 2: nothing else. You're right, Tiger was Tiger Lebron Serena Lebron. 412 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 2: I would argue all the all time grades that turned 413 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 2: into all time grades also actually kind of exceeded. 414 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:18,479 Speaker 1: Expectations most of the time. I think Bryce Harper at 415 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: sixteen was considered arguably the baseball prospect ever. He's turned 416 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: out eight time All Star, two time National League MVP, 417 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: three hundred and forty home runs plus that is a 418 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: If you would have said that when he was sixteen 419 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: on Sports Illustrate he's gonna be an eight time All Star, 420 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: two time MVP, you'd be like, yeah, for the best 421 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: prospect ever that that that's that's in that elite class. Sure, 422 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: but I think Caitlyn Clark, Lebron and MJ I think 423 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: they're better. And I thought Caitlin was going to be good. 424 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: But Gino Arima, Yucom's coach came out and said, and 425 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: this guy knows basketball. He's the best recruiter in the 426 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: history of the sport. He's like, this idea is she's 427 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,479 Speaker 1: going to walk into the WNBA and christ now. But 428 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: that was so here's the thing. 429 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 2: All the Yukon folks had, like the former the legendary 430 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 2: Yukon players who were then in media and then Gino, 431 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 2: they all kind of, in. 432 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: My opinion, had a bias of man. 433 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 2: This was supposed to be what everyone was saying about 434 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 2: Paige Beckers a year ago, but page had blown out 435 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 2: her knee and she missed time and that and all 436 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 2: of that, and so they I think that they and 437 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 2: they also underestimated what a badass Clark was going to be. 438 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 2: And I think they also looked at it and said, well, 439 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 2: she's great and going to be great, but she's not 440 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 2: better than Brianna Stewart or Diana Torazzi, and they you know, 441 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 2: if they had a transition, she will do. And the 442 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 2: answer is she's a She is already one of the 443 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 2: four best players in the league. 444 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she is already. 445 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 2: An absolute and I say this in the kindest words, 446 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 2: an asshole on the court, like the way you kind 447 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 2: of need to They don't need to be, but it's 448 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 2: something people historically like in their athletes, like a trash 449 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 2: Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, a trash talker, you know, hard ass. 450 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: And she is already. 451 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 2: Impacting winning I think she has the best per game 452 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 2: plus minus in the league of everyone that's not on 453 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 2: the New. 454 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: York Liberty and Liberty or just crossed ten years excepts. 455 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: So the quality of WNBA play in the last ten 456 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: years has improved more than any league anywhere. The players 457 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: are the nutrition's better, the strength is better, you go 458 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: YouTube and WNBA game ten years ago, they did not 459 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: pass like this. Candas Parker ten years ago led the 460 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: league in assists at five and a half a game 461 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: a game. Not only is Caitlin Clark the best shooter, 462 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: the best guard, the most influential, she's also dealing nine 463 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: assists per game. So what she's done is she's really 464 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 1: changed the tempo. She's doubling these all time assist numbers 465 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: were close to it, and giving you threes and shooting 466 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: nine feet beyond the arc. So, I mean, as much 467 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: as I liked her and I thought she would be 468 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: really good, I remember saying on the air, She's she's 469 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: gonna be really good, top ten player, really fast, I 470 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: didn't think she'd be this. 471 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 2: No, I listen she I agree with you that I 472 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 2: do think she is, and in contributing to winning exceeding expectations, 473 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 2: I also think that and maybe eventually we'll get there. 474 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 2: But there so much in my I don't know what 475 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 2: you said on the air about this today because I 476 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 2: missed it, but so much of the social media pearl 477 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 2: clutching of basically we need to protect Caitlyn Clark, I 478 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 2: just think it's so. 479 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: I think it's. 480 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 2: Patronizing, and I also think it fails to recognize this is, 481 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 2: in my opinion, the best case scenario for the league. 482 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 2: The fact that she is has this swagger that there 483 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 2: and Brew made this point, and I thought it was 484 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 2: a really good one. The fact that yesterday's altercations primarily 485 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 2: happened with Caitlin against other white players was actually a 486 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 2: really nice thing because it removed any of the bullshit like, 487 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 2: oh the are the black players don't like it? No, 488 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 2: you know who doesn't like Kitlyn Larky, most of her opponents, 489 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 2: you know, you know who historically is not that popular 490 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 2: in sports. The young, awesome, swaggery, trash talking player. That 491 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 2: player usually has allies on their team and their fans. 492 00:28:59,320 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: And that's it. 493 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 2: Got Joe direct by doctor j everybody. 494 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: And so and so. That's awesome. Here's another thing that's awesome. 495 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 2: This is only gonna make Caitlin better and tougher and stronger. 496 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: That's great. 497 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 2: The fact that it is hard and that like because 498 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 2: the idea, because some of Caitlyn's like, there's a real 499 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 2: lunatic fringe on the internet about this conversation. And I 500 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 2: hate doing in life. I don't actually really think both 501 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 2: sides are a problem. Very often in the Caitlin Clark thing, 502 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 2: it is both sides. It is people on both ends 503 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 2: of the spectrum are out of their minds, and the 504 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 2: biggest Caitlyn fans are like the leak. This is the 505 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: league's cash cow, and if they if they're not suspending 506 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 2: these other players, she could get hurt. Like, give me 507 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 2: a break. It was a light shove. She fell down. 508 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 2: She's gonna be fine. That fever are gonna be in 509 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 2: big games for a long time. It is she is 510 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 2: sustainable drawing eyeballs, and I do think it is. Note 511 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 2: while people pointed out correctly, oh man, when she was out, 512 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 2: the ratings dropped. The other piece of this is the 513 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 2: ratings dropped, but we're still higher than pre Caitlin Clark WNBA, 514 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 2: which means while yes, some people are just showing up 515 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 2: for her, some people showed up for her, and we're like, oh, 516 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 2: I like basketball, and this is a pretty good product 517 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 2: all stick around, even if she's not there. At least 518 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 2: some people did. It's the best thing imaginable for the league. 519 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 2: It's the best thing imaginable for her, and it is 520 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 2: for us, you know, here in hockey ended last night. 521 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 2: Basketball probably ends tomorrow in the NBA. It'll be nice 522 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 2: to have like a captivating sports story for the summer 523 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 2: other than baseball. 524 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: So I'm excited about it. 525 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 2: All right. 526 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: One quick note on the NBA Finals that I don't 527 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: know why this popped into my head, but I was 528 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: watching just the relentlessness of okac's defense and how they 529 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: were just blocking every shot and creating turnovers, and I 530 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: thought to myself, I bet if you took the college 531 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: basketball national champion, they could not score twenty points on 532 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: Oklahoma Cities defense. And I also thought this, if you 533 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: took the ewing John Starks, you know was Anthony Mason, 534 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: Charles Oaklean Knicks, they don't score forty points in a game, 535 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: and you think I'm crazy. They were held at the 536 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: seventies by the Pacers. If you don't have four ball 537 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: handlers against OKC, you are ft. That's why when Halliburton's hurt, 538 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: it's over, the series is over. Is their defense. Their 539 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: perimeter pressure picking up the ball at half court they 540 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: don't even need to trap, is so intense that the 541 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: only way to beat them is to try try and 542 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: spread the floor, have multiple three shooters, or have a 543 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: kind of transformational Halliburton, Turkey, Jerky Long weird stop start guy. 544 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: This defense. If you would have put Oklahoma City's defense 545 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: against a Magic we all know players are now more skilled. 546 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: They I mean, seven foot guys now handle the ball 547 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: and shoot three. Nobody the Knicks never had a jump shooter, 548 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: a consistent Starks was an inconsttent jump shooter. No Starks 549 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: was an undrafted play. If you put Oklahoma City including 550 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: Jordan's team, if you put Oklahoma City in that era, 551 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they beat him. They would be holding 552 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: teams Michael's teams to the seventy point range. They don't 553 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: have enough shooters and ball handlers back then. Well so 554 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: they are. 555 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 2: I don't think this Oklahoma City team is like one 556 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 2: of the three or four best defenses in the history 557 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 2: of the league's defense. 558 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: It's really unique. 559 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 2: Exactly what I was going to say, crazy, but almost 560 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 2: all of those teams that you consider the best defense 561 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:16,239 Speaker 2: has ever had as a common denominator a dominant rim protector. Right, 562 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 2: so people bring up like, oh, the four Pistons defense, 563 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 2: you had four time defensive Play of the Year Ben Wallace. 564 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 2: They you know, the eight Celtics not an all time defense, 565 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 2: but a really good defense. You had Kevin Garnett down 566 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 2: low and I'm not acting, listen. Chet does a good 567 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 2: job and Hartenstein does a good job. But they are 568 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 2: a great defense. That is because of what it does 569 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 2: to you on the perimeter. And the team that it 570 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 2: does remind me of is the nineties Bulls, the second 571 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 2: three people Bulls who did not have a dominant rim protector. 572 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: What they did have. 573 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 2: Was Pippen and Rodman and Michael who could just swarm 574 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 2: you and get to you, like make it it's so 575 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 2: hard to get across half court, yeah, and trap you 576 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,719 Speaker 2: and those things. And so that's what's so unique and 577 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 2: special about this team, and it is the fact that 578 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 2: the guys who come off the bench for them are 579 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,720 Speaker 2: It's such an interesting and I think smart thing Pressty did, 580 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 2: which is most teams like their seventh or their eighth man. 581 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,720 Speaker 2: It's a guy like campaign who he's on your team 582 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,720 Speaker 2: because hey, he might be able to hit a couple threes, 583 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 2: he might give us a burst of offense. 584 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: And Presty was like, you know what, We're gonna have 585 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: enough offense. 586 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 2: What if the guys we have who come off the 587 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 2: bench are just more. They are defense, not only but 588 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 2: mostly guys, and so that way you never get a breath. 589 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 2: You are just for forty eight minutes. If you're a 590 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 2: perimeter player on the other team, brutal, your night sucks 591 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 2: because it goes from Dort to Crusoe to Wiggins. 592 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 1: And that is my point. They wouldn't beat the Bulls, 593 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: but they are so uniquely built to stop the seventies, 594 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: eighties nineties era where your forwards and centers couldn't handle 595 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: the ball. They would be just in they would be 596 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: I mean again, Michael was never a great ball handler. 597 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: He wasn't and Pippen what Pippen was great in transition, 598 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: Kobe was a better ball handler than Michael. And so 599 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Michael and those guys wouldn't win. Michael 600 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't score. But this team more than any defaults. 601 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 2: Oh, it'd be it would those games would be like 602 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 2: Bulls seventy eight, you know, Okaz seventy It would be yeah, oh, 603 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 2: it would be like what what you're just It would 604 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 2: be like what a lot of the Knicks heat playoff 605 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 2: games in the nineties looked like. Where it's like going 606 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 2: into the fourth sixty one to fifty eight, like, for real. 607 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 1: No question, I'm not even knocking it. I grew up 608 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: on that basket. 609 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, and but that that's what it was, and that 610 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 2: was for different reasons. But uh, but yeah, I am. 611 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:16,399 Speaker 2: I am really And one thing that I have been, 612 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 2: I'll admit it shocked by. I was shocked by Jalen 613 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 2: Williams scoring forty in a finals game. Like in the 614 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 2: history of the NBA colin number two options to score 615 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 2: forty in a finals game. Kyrie did it twice, Chris 616 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 2: Middleton did it oddly, and gosh darn it, there was 617 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 2: one other one that now I can't remember, James Worthy 618 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 2: did it, but James Worthy did in the game Magic 619 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 2: was out injured. For Kobe scored forty in a finals 620 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 2: game once his whole career, and it was in nine 621 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:54,919 Speaker 2: so it wasn't when he was the number two option 622 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 2: to shock a guy as the second option. Only thirty 623 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,359 Speaker 2: people ever have scored forty in a finals game. Yeah, 624 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 2: and twenty five of them are some of the greatest 625 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 2: players you've ever seen. And so for Jalen Williams to 626 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,760 Speaker 2: do that in a game that Chase still had thirty, 627 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 2: that was that was remarkable. And it made you think 628 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 2: about what this team is going to be long term. 629 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: And both his parents were in the military. Named the 630 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: last athlete who had both parents in the military. I 631 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: got Jaylen Williams Santa Clara. I think I looked it 632 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 1: up online. But when I watch his game, you know 633 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: what I see? I see parenting grinding. Literally it's seven 634 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: a game at Santa Clara eleven eighteen, fourteen eighteen. You 635 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: can see the time he's put in the gym. You 636 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: can see his discipline. He has the I said this 637 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: today to j Mack. He's a better offensive player now 638 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 1: than Scottie Pippen. His you can sh to be a 639 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:53,479 Speaker 1: good shoot react. 640 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 2: It's been his career high in the in the playoffs 641 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,720 Speaker 2: with on the Bulls was thirty two yea his career. 642 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: I covered him important. I never trusted him on jump 643 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 1: shots ever. Sure Jalen Williams. When I see a player, 644 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: you see this with Lebron. They can go to his 645 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 1: off hand off the glass with touch over Miles Turner, 646 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: do you know how long you have to work at 647 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 1: that in the gym? I mean, do you know it's 648 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,879 Speaker 1: one thing if some guys some you know a lot 649 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: of bigs. They work on their low post games the 650 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 1: Pete Nole camps when I was a kid growing up. 651 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 1: But when I see perimeter players, the first sign of 652 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: guys put a lot of time in the gym is 653 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: often when they played bigger than their size. Dwayne Wade 654 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: Jalen Williams is six'. Five he plays like he's sixty 655 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: eight and a. Half he plays incredibly. Big that is 656 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: discipline that dude is Put and if you look at 657 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: all his you, know the last thing he got good 658 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: at in basketball, Scoring yeah he was good.

CHEMISTRY i don't like the chemistry on THE 748 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,880 Speaker 1: ESPN nba. Broadcast it's not the, people it's the. Chemistry 749 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,239 Speaker 1: as you, know there's a Reason mike And tony have 750 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,720 Speaker 1: been a hit show for twenty five years or.

Chemistry 753 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 1: madden in summer. All it's really really hard being. Talented 754 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,759 Speaker 1: look at, you you worked for. Years the chemistry on 755 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 1: your show beyond. Talent the chemistry is really what makes the. 756 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:27,960 Speaker 1: Show Jeff Van, Gunny Mark jackson And breen had remarkable. 757 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 1: Chemistry and for twenty four years or however long ESPN's 758 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 1: had THE, nba they have struggled with pregame, shows postgame. 759 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 1: Shows the perfect, pairing and they had it and then 760 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 1: they blew it. Up my guess is That Van gundy 761 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: could be critical of the. League there Was David stern 762 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: from time to time pushback on critical interviews By Bob 763 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:56,320 Speaker 1: costas or others which needed to be. Done and this 764 00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: is one thing THAT i wonder about THE. Nba don't 765 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 1: think broadcasting crews change, ratings but as now THE nba 766 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 1: moves to other, NETWORKS i am really interested to see 767 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 1: it At amazon and see it AT nbc BECAUSE espn 768 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,759 Speaker 1: does a lot very very. Well in my, OPINION i 769 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 1: think they're so good at The Little League World, Series Sports, 770 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 1: center THE Nfl, Draft Scott Van Pelt, Show mike And, 771 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 1: tony they're just a lot of really talented people. There 772 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: at a college game, day there's just they've just built, 773 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:35,359 Speaker 1: really really solid foundational pieces of. BROADCASTING i have great. 774 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: ADMIRATION i do not think they've been good with THE. Nba, 775 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 1: NOW i Think Mike brains as good as, anybody Including 776 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 1: Marv Albert i've ever heard of, basketball BUT i think 777 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,359 Speaker 1: for twenty years AND i don't do, THIS i think 778 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 1: they've underproduced and under delivered with THE. Nba so all, 779 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 1: right SO i. 780 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:01,839 Speaker 2: Am it seems like a much bigger fan of the 781 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 2: actual booth That, Brien doris AND rj than you are 782 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,719 Speaker 2: and maybe other people. ARE i know there have been 783 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 2: reports about THE espn once again changing that you, KNOW i, 784 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:17,879 Speaker 2: mean they they one of if it's very. Interesting reportedly 785 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:23,320 Speaker 2: one of the reasons they initially shook Up Mark jackson 786 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 2: And jeff Van gundy was because they didn't like the 787 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,239 Speaker 2: fact THAT i think it Was, mark maybe it Was, 788 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 2: jeff BUT i think it Was mark was always like 789 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 2: his name was in coaching, searches and they were, like, 790 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:34,719 Speaker 2: no you, know we don't want you flirting with other. 791 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,879 Speaker 2: Jobs and then the two, guys they brought in one 792 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:43,399 Speaker 2: guy In Doc rivers to replace, him and then during 793 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,640 Speaker 2: the season he took a, job and then they put 794 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 2: IN jj and THEN jj right after the season he 795 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,400 Speaker 2: took a, job and so they've obviously moved it around a. 796 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 2: LOT i UNDER i do understand that any. Group AND 797 00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 2: i don't remember the first year of Bringing Van gundy And, 798 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,280 Speaker 2: jackson But i'm sure it wasn't as good as the fifth, 799 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 2: year the tenth year and hand, down man, down And, 800 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 2: mama there goes that man and those. Guys and for, 801 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 2: me the best broadcast crew ever was growing up With 802 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 2: Steve Snapper jones And Bill walton WHEN i was a 803 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 2: little kid ON nbc because of the chemistry between, them 804 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,400 Speaker 2: and the chemistry between them was actually it seemed Like 805 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,280 Speaker 2: Steve Snapper jones wanted to Kill Bill walton every single, day. 806 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 1: And so it was like it was. 807 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 2: Great SO i am far less critical of the actual 808 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 2: game like the play by play color commentary than any 809 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,279 Speaker 2: think others BECAUSE i actually like. IT i also, am, 810 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:45,799 Speaker 2: REALLY i, think fairly critical Of reggie on the TN t. 811 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,800 Speaker 2: Broadcast SO i think THE espn actual play by play 812 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 2: in color is. Good the overall presentation of, everything, THOUGH 813 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:02,319 Speaker 2: i think it is totally fair to, criticize AND i 814 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:07,240 Speaker 2: think it is totally fair when people say you need 815 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:11,719 Speaker 2: to show me with how you present, this that this 816 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 2: is a big deal and the lack of pageantry as you, 817 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,280 Speaker 2: know it's like, this AND i, know, listen how about. 818 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:27,520 Speaker 1: This why DON'T i know?
