1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Okay, counter seems to be circling the parking area. Now,

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: I guess it's looking for a placed land. No, something

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: just came out of the back of the helicopter. It's

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: a dark object, perhaps a skydiver. Let me to to

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: the earth from only two thousand feet in the air.

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: Next second to the third, there's no parachute yet.

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god, they're cocky.

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 3: Give me this.

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 4: They're talking to the earth right, I'm going through.

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: The wind's running around pushing each other.

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 4: Oh my deess, oh you Walton. Good mornings, Swirl and

00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: hear a shitty Magic Johnson tweeter too, I'm sure. But first,

29
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 4: congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers on winning their seventeenth

30
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: or is it twelfth franchise title Game six. They take

31
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 4: care of business tasks. They Lakers route the Heat. They

32
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 4: just hammered them to win again. The twenty twenty Bubble

33
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 4: Title Lebron Finals MVP, where do you want to start?

34
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 4: Big takeaway from Game six or the finals in.

35
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 5: General, Well, that was a wallop.

36
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 6: Didn't expect that coming out because it's been such a

37
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 6: great bubble, so it is a bit disappointing that it

38
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 6: ended on a whimper because these few months have been

39
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 6: so successful and it feels like we've had incredible performances

40
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 6: and close games. But the Lakers coming out, every single

41
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 6: guy ready to pounce on the Miami Heat was very,

42
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 6: very impressive and on the other side, Jimmy Butler didn't

43
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 6: look like he had the juice in the first half,

44
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 6: and he needed some help, and those guys weren't there

45
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 6: to give him that hand. Gorn Drags didn't look like himself. Unfortunately,

46
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 6: Bam and Tyler Hero looked young for the first time

47
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 6: in this series. It felt like and Bam just didn't

48
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 6: really get it going in this series because of that injury.

49
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 6: So we didn't see a fair fight in this one,

50
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 6: especially a fair fighting this series, i should say, and

51
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 6: especially Game six. But it was cool to see some

52
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 6: human moments in this very crappy year that we have had.

53
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 6: It was kind of good to see people back to normal.

54
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 6: The Lakers at the end of it just felt like normal,

55
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 6: like we're having a regular celebration, and it was cool

56
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 6: to have no fans actually because you could hear all

57
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 6: the guys in the back a little bit more. I thought,

58
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 6: you know, like when Anthony Davis was on the mic

59
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 6: and Lebron was leading the charge of all the guys saying,

60
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 6: tell them, you know, tell them, tell them, tell him

61
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 6: and how you like that? How you like that? Like

62
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 6: they wanted Anthony Davis to just to just give him

63
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 6: his hey, how you like me now? Type thing like

64
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 6: Lebron did when he said everybody wants to respect the

65
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 6: Lakers organization, Rob Polenka, and I want my damn respect.

66
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 6: So maybe maybe we should give Lebron his respect. I

67
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 6: think we've been we've done that pretty well over the years.

68
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 6: But it's everybody needs something to motivate them, and it

69
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 6: just shows even the best, even the best of the

70
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 6: best of the best, and Lebron showed through in the series,

71
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 6: and he showed through in this bubble. And I enjoyed

72
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 6: that celebration, just hearing everybody and Anthony Davis saying all right,

73
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 6: let's go pop those bottles and then knocking over the

74
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 6: microphone there.

75
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 5: It was great. It was real.

76
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 6: You could hear everything still socially distanced Rachel Nichols distance

77
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 6: from Adams Silver, distance from from his bus, but it

78
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 6: felt normal, and that's what I like. And I liked

79
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 6: that little rap on the season right there on what

80
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 6: has been an incredible a few months. When you when

81
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 6: you look back and you look back to where we

82
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 6: were six seven months from now or six seven months ago,

83
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 6: it's been incredible. And I enjoyed the the realism at

84
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 6: the end there everybody just doing their thing and Rondo

85
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 6: needing to hold the trophy as much as possible.

86
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 4: Well, j R. Smith got his hands on it first.

87
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: I love that.

88
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Lebron twenty eight points, fourteen boards tennis in the

89
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: game six and the clincher, he won Finals MVP unanimously,

90
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 4: Trey eleven to Zho. There was no vote, you know,

91
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 4: for an ad or even for a Jimmy Butler. We

92
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 4: thought that was probably unlikely if it didn't go seven

93
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 4: at least. But this guy at thirty five years old,

94
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 4: average basically thirty points per game, twelve boards per game,

95
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: eight and a half sis per game, shot fifty nine

96
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 4: percent from the floor in the finals. That's the best

97
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: he's ever done there and nearly what is it like,

98
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: thirty nine percent from three unbelievable. And now he's the

99
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 4: first player and sort of this is great that it

100
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 4: is him first player in NBA history to be named

101
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: Finals MVP with three different franchises. Kareem and Kawhi the

102
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 4: only other ones to do it with two franchises like

103
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: Lebron had up until this point.

104
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 7: Crazy stuff, Lebron, He's just a magnanimous king, you know.

105
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: He let Anthony.

106
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 7: Davis be the story for the first two games of

107
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 7: the Finals. He let Jimmy Butler be the story for

108
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 7: games three and five. Game four just a classic game

109
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 7: out there. But when it all came down to it,

110
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 7: Lebron just slammed the door, like me slamming the door

111
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 7: on my kids when they try to come in when

112
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 7: we're recording a podcast.

113
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: You're not coming in here.

114
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 7: Because that's what Lebron and the Lakers said in this

115
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 7: championship game. Eleven for eleven at the rim in the

116
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 7: first half, you know, shout out to my dad. The

117
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 7: guy's always gonna root for people from Illinois and the underdog.

118
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 7: It's going into halftime, he says, I think the heat

119
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 7: might need to go to Meyers Leonard here go for

120
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 7: a different look.

121
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't think it matters tonight, Dad.

122
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 7: The way you saw Lebron driving inside, finishing with that

123
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 7: left hand, just looking like he was not gonna be

124
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 7: denied inside. You know, the Lakers were cold at the start.

125
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 7: From three, The heat were hitting them a little bit

126
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 7: and it looked like, Okay, maybe they can pull off

127
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 7: something here. But the Lakers looked like they could have

128
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 7: scored two hundred points, shooting all layups last night, whereas

129
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 7: the heat would come in, they would see Anthony Davis

130
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 7: hanging out under the rim and did not want any

131
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 7: part of them.

132
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: No juice for the heat, no doubt about it.

133
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 7: You know, Jimmy did play a lot of minutes, but

134
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 7: they weren't your classic Jimmy minutes. Goran Dragics wasn't able

135
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 7: to provide the Willis Reid inspiration. It was the Lakers night,

136
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 7: it was the Lakers championship and Lebron man the guy.

137
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: He's incredible. Give him his respect.

138
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 7: I don't know if that means you gotta call him

139
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 7: the goat, but you gotta give him his respect.

140
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: The respect has been given.

141
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's definitely given. I mean I said this, I

142
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 4: said this last note on Twitter early. I hope you

143
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 4: saw it because I always, I know, you get a

144
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: kick out of and anytime I talk about watching basketball

145
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 4: with my arminion in laws. But it was me subtweeting

146
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 4: them and the casuals out there that who always say,

147
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 4: you know, why doesn't Lebron just drive to the rim

148
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: every single possession. That's basically what he was doing. You know,

149
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: in the competitive portion of this game, he just drove

150
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: and drove and drove and drove. And it turns out

151
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 4: if he does that, yeah, you can never stop him.

152
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 4: But you can't do that over an eighty two game

153
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 4: season or an entire playoff run. But he can pick

154
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 4: and choose his moments here for sure.

155
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was pretty ruthless last night, the game of

156
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: the series, the championship ball and the line and Lebron

157
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: was like, you know what, sorry, Miami, it's been fun,

158
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: but I'm just gonna destroy you guys inside now. And

159
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: added to that the fact that Miami missed so many

160
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: chippies as well, like it felt like Miami had knocked

161
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: down so many of those little shots early on to

162
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 3: keep them keep the pace up with the Lakers, and

163
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: they just didn't drop last night.

164
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 4: And again a big part of that Tony Davis, the

165
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: heads just living in their head.

166
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 3: Insimidation is worth fifty points a game. A coach once

167
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: told me, I don't know if it's statistically accurate, but

168
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 3: when you have that presence, that's what it is. You

169
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: see guys driving inside and it's just like there's no point,

170
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: there's no point in shooting because he's either going to

171
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: block it or I'm going to throw it over the

172
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: backboard or something, so they look for an open shot,

173
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: and then it was guys like Iguodala who was open.

174
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: Who you know, he had a huge game against the

175
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: Celtics and that close out but last night wasn't able

176
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 3: to bring up. But really this is all about Lebron

177
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 3: and what he's able to achieve in season seventeen with

178
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: all these with all the drama and what's happened for

179
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: the Lakers this season, and Lebron just went out there

180
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: last night and said, this is it. I'm taking over

181
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: and I'm going to just really bully my way to

182
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 3: victory here. And that's what he did, and this game

183
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: was over early in that second quarter. I think the

184
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 3: first quarter was okay, but then the second quarter you

185
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: just sort of could feel that it was going away

186
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: and Lebron was like, I mean, Lebron played until about

187
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 3: a minute to go in the game as well. Frank

188
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 3: Vogel was not taking any chances even they blew, but

189
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 3: I think it was thirty five points or something at

190
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: one point, and Frank Voger was like, I'm not taking

191
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: these guys out until it's absolutely confirmed that we're winning

192
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: this game, and you can see Lebron I think wanted

193
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: to stay out there too. He was like, I don't

194
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 3: want to. I don't want to give the Heat any

195
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 3: chances here. So fantastic end for Lebron to go to

196
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: Los Angeles to win this championship after what happened last season.

197
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 3: He's been calling himself the wash King all season, or

198
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 3: he thinks people have been calling him that. No one

199
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: has really said that at all, and he showed last

200
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 3: night that he still got plenty left in the tank.

201
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, I saw. I guess it was at

202
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: mister Verley. I hope I have that ready tweeted at

203
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 4: us last night, Adam Silver, I'm sure you caught this task.

204
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 4: When he's handing sort of the finals MVP, or he

205
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 4: was setting up handing the fourth finals MVP to Lebron,

206
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 4: he mentioned the idea that there will be a trophy

207
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 4: named after him one day, because the Finals MVP named

208
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 4: after the great Bill Russell. So he asked, mister Burley,

209
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 4: should it be the best Player in the League award?

210
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 4: Should that be Lebron? So we make the MVP the

211
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 4: best statistical season award, you know, like be honest one

212
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: this year. But then there is the Best Player in

213
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 4: the League award and and maybe that's named after Lebron.

214
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 4: I don't know what you thought about just Silver's comments

215
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: there and if you had an idea on heck, what

216
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 4: what what MVY? What trophy? I guess what accolade will

217
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: be named after Lebron in the future.

218
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 6: That's presumptuous, Silver, you know, just there for a second. Yeah, well,

219
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 6: I were delayed. There was some serious and then I

220
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 6: was able to talk. I'm not sure what was happening

221
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 6: right there, but you ended I started speaking, so JD

222
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 6: good luck with that. Uh, I think I'm Silver just

223
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 6: threw that out there.

224
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 5: I mean, where where's he gonna go with that? We're

225
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 5: the best?

226
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you're changing all the awards around, okay, best

227
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 6: player in the game.

228
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 5: But I'm not sure.

229
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 6: When he said that, I thought maybe he's going to

230
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 6: take Bill Russell's title as the m v P for

231
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 6: Playoffs VP, But I don't think he can do that.

232
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 7: They just named it after Bill then they like in

233
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 7: the last five years, they obviously just did the All

234
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,599
Speaker 7: Star MVP after Kobe this season. Yeah, the MVP is

235
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 7: the MVP. The Total Off Trophy? Is that what it's

236
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 7: called maybe they remain. They could probably rename that one.

237
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 7: Nobody knows who Maurice total Off is.

238
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 4: It'd be weird to name it after Lebron when there

239
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 4: is skill. Michael Jordan though, it'd be a little strange.

240
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, executive of the year.

241
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 7: Maybe he's calling all the shots for the guys that

242
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 7: come in. Give him executive of the year since his

243
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 7: team will never win that award.

244
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, most well rounded player slash assistant GM slash an assistant coach.

245
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: That's THELENO would Oh.

246
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 4: I don't buy that. Or maybe the player that is

247
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 4: equally good at scoring the ball and playmaking.

248
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, for your second best skill. Y.

249
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 4: Okay, we've got there. We figured it out. But one

250
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 4: move in this game task that the Lakers did do

251
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 4: is they took dway out of the starting lineup and

252
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 4: put Alex Caruso in. What effect did you think that

253
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 4: had on the especially the Lakers defense, you know, starting

254
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 4: as strong as they did in this game. Or is

255
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 4: that was just a case of what the tone being

256
00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 4: set by a D and Lebron?

257
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard to say.

258
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 6: That's definitely their best lineup and I'm surprised they didn't

259
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 6: pull it out a little bit earlier in the series

260
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 6: as a starting lineup. They kind of went to it

261
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 6: in the second half, starting Markis Morris over Dwight Howard.

262
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 6: But yeah, it kind of worked hand in hand. They

263
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 6: were going to come out and destroy if Dwight was

264
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 6: in the starting lineup or not. But they definitely moved

265
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 6: better with Ad at the five, everybody on the floor

266
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 6: and offensively as well. I think it works best. That

267
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 6: is definitely their best lineup. And I just think, I say,

268
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 6: you know, it goes both ways because going from Game

269
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 6: five to Game six, the bench for the Lakers didn't

270
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 6: play well, the sporting cast didn't play well enough. Anthony

271
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 6: Davis didn't play well enough. Keel injury was part of that.

272
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 6: But they were going to come out in Game six

273
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 6: and play better, and I think that's that's that's just

274
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 6: what happened.

275
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 5: Now.

276
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna go overboard like our man Dwayne Wade

277
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 6: and say Region Rondo was the difference in this series.

278
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 6: I know he had a great Game six, but Region

279
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 6: Rondo the difference of this series. Rondo's he sways people

280
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 6: big time, you know, because he does a lot of

281
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 6: things that you notice out there on the floor because

282
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 6: he holds the ball in his hands a lot, so

283
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 6: he makes the assist. He offensive rebounds were real key

284
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 6: when they won Game four there. It was really really

285
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 6: monstrous there, and he scored the ball. You know, he

286
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 6: goes from an oper and then you know, shows up

287
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 6: and scores layups after layups, and that just shows that

288
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 6: they weren't going to let anyone get in the way

289
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 6: of them at the rim Lebron Rondo. Everybody sort of

290
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 6: followed fall fell in line there and that's all that was,

291
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 6: I think. But that is definitely their best lineup. I'm

292
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 6: a little surprised we didn't see it a little bit earlier,

293
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 6: like more so anyway, Well.

294
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 7: It makes you wonder for the future, right because we

295
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 7: didn't see Chris Bosh as the starting five for the

296
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 7: Miami Heat until the season that they won a championship.

297
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 7: Maybe we see the way this played out in Game

298
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 7: six of the finals with the Lakers dominating in you know,

299
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 7: I mean, they look like the best team in the

300
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 7: league for a large majority of the season, but they

301
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 7: look like unquestionably the best team in the league dominating

302
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 7: the Heat there in that first half. Maybe Anthony Davis says,

303
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 7: all right, I'm ready to play five full time now.

304
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 7: And they come back next year with a small ball

305
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 7: looking lineup that they upgrade even a little bit more

306
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 7: with these vets that are going to be ring chasing.

307
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: Could be scary stuff for the Western Conference.

308
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 4: That's true. I mean those Rondo big nineteen points. He

309
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 4: was feeling the three pointer again last night too, Lee.

310
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 4: I mean, he hit one like a couple of feet

311
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 4: behind the lines and you're like, whoa geez, Rondo. But

312
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 4: he was also those layups that Task mentioned. A lot

313
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 4: of those were like straight line drives at Jimmy Butler,

314
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 4: and you know, Jimmy, I think, is on Rondo in

315
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 4: those situations to get a rest. The guy's gassed after

316
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 4: of course Game five, playing basically the entire game and

317
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 4: giving it all is throughout this entire bubble run here.

318
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 4: But you know that's the part that sucked. It's like

319
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 4: we're putting you, We're putting Jimmy on Rondo to again,

320
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 4: you know, get his wind a little bit so he

321
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 4: can carry us on the offense. But Rondo maybe realize

322
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 4: that and just sort of went right out him. He

323
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: scored like two or three times, just literally just blew

324
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 4: by him and finished inside with those little scoops.

325
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 3: I think that's absolutely what happened, because often through the series,

326
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: whoever was resting basically stayed off Rondo and they said,

327
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: you can shoot, you can shoot all you want, because

328
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 3: that's not his strength. But last night he saw an

329
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 3: opening and he took advantage. And there was no real

330
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 3: rim protection at all, So once you got past Jimmy Butler,

331
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 3: you just had to put it up on the rim,

332
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: and if you get it on accurately, it was going

333
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 3: to go in. So that's what he did. It was

334
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 3: a good game from him last night, no doubt about it.

335
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: He played well and he had some good moments in

336
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 3: this series, but he also had some bad moments as well.

337
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: Last game he was awful. But you know, that's the

338
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 3: thing about him is he is a sort of polarizing

339
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 3: player in that regard, he is certainly capable of playing,

340
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: but there are other times where he's almost like the

341
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 3: complete opposite, where he really is a negative to the team.

342
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 3: So but last night he was good, hit some shots,

343
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: made some plays, and was good for his team because

344
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: they needed that punch off the bench, which they didn't

345
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: get in Game five and so you know, it was

346
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 3: important last night. But again I do think that there

347
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 3: was really just the defense from Miami last night was

348
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: pretty bad and everyone seemed to get open looks, and

349
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 3: in that second water, that crucial second quarter there, it

350
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 3: felt like every shot the Heat the Lakers put up

351
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: was making, and then the Heat just didn't have the

352
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 3: legs offensively to come back and counter, and it was

353
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 3: it was over. I mean it was over at halftime.

354
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: There's no way the Heat were coming back into it.

355
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 3: So just the disappointing end for Miami considering how much

356
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 3: they'd gotten back into series, because a week ago, remember

357
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 3: when they won game their first game, it was like, oh,

358
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 3: maybe the Heat have got something here with Jimmy Butler,

359
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 3: and then they win another game on Friday night, but unfortunately

360
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 3: the legs just couldn't get them through Game six.

361
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they won the two games where Jimmy

362
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 4: Butler turned into Lebron James and John and Robinson.

363
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 5: In Game five.

364
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 4: Of course, hitting seven threes helped too, but I mean

365
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 4: that's really they're either swept or they maybe just end

366
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 4: with you know, five or losing four to one. If

367
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 4: if Jimmy is not heroic, it was that was that

368
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 4: was tough to watch. I mean, he just he just

369
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 4: was he just legit. I don't want to make an

370
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 4: excuse for him, but because I know everybody's tired of

371
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 4: this point, but he did look just completely completely exhausted

372
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: and he just didn't have even like the just like

373
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 4: the the the energy, like the fit like I'm trying

374
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 4: to put this the best way to put like. He

375
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 4: just seemed flat to me, you know, like just appearance wise,

376
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 4: like you know, just like all right, he said he

377
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 4: gave it his all in Game five, and maybe he

378
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 4: legit just did and there was nothing left for him

379
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 4: to do. I felt bad you said it wasn't a

380
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 4: fair fight task, you know, dragic. Kudos to him for trying.

381
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you heard Spolster after the game

382
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 4: talking about like this guy should not have been playing,

383
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 4: Like probably many of these guys should not have been playing.

384
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 4: I assume he's including Bam in the mix there. Who

385
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 4: really did look is pretty bad, pretty bad after coming

386
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 4: back from his injury. Maybe even Jimmy for all we know,

387
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 4: you know, regular season probably isn't playing with some of

388
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 4: his injuries. But yeah, it's tough to watch these guys.

389
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 4: Especially drag It's just completely hobbling around out there, trade.

390
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 7: Especially when it was a thirty point game and they

391
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 7: were still running dragitch out there. I mean, I know,

392
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 7: it's this first time in the NBA Finals and he

393
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 7: wants to be able to get some time out there

394
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 7: try and inspire the team.

395
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: But it was a bummer.

396
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 7: You know, it felt like the game was over before

397
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 7: it even started. You know, the Heat were gonna come

398
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 7: out and give an effort, but they just weren't able

399
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 7: to summon the basketball side.

400
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: Of it as well.

401
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 7: You know, they they just didn't have it. They just

402
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 7: didn't have it. And Task called that. I said, Jimmy

403
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 7: would be ready. He did play a lot of minutes,

404
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 7: but it just wasn't the same. And you know, I

405
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 7: guess that's exactly what happened.

406
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: Game five.

407
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 7: They gave it there all, they left it all out

408
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 7: there on the court. Unfortunately for them, they did have

409
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 7: to play a Game six, and there was no way

410
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 7: Lebron and ad were going to lose a second closeout game.

411
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: And it showed. And that's just the facts of the matter.

412
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: You know, the Heat had a great run.

413
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 7: They were the underdogs this entire time, and when it

414
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 7: came down to it, they remained the underdogs. They couldn't

415
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 7: pull off another legendary upset. And that's exactly what it was.

416
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 7: You have to outplay the Lakers stars. Your stars have

417
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 7: to outplay the Laker Stars to have any sort of

418
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 7: a chance. The Heat basically only had Jimmy Butler for

419
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 7: this series. He outplayed Lebron and eighty in two games.

420
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 7: Those were the Heats two wins, but there are other

421
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 7: games in the series.

422
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, are the Heat the most likable runner up team

423
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 4: since like when Leeah? I mean I was actually thinking

424
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 4: about it. I was like, really, are because of the

425
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 4: underdog status like Trey is saying, and Jimmy as their guy,

426
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 4: and because of the injuries piling up, and you're like,

427
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 4: come on, this is this a hell of a run

428
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 4: that they're doing here and awesome series of course versus

429
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 4: the Celtics and how well they played early in the bubble.

430
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm trying to think of a team where like,

431
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 4: for me, at least personally, that I was like, you

432
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 4: really were cheering them on and they were so likable

433
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 4: since I don't know, I mean, I was a big

434
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 4: Suns fan when they were trying to take down you know,

435
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 4: MJ like a couple of their guys. But maybe I'm

436
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 4: missing one.

437
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's a good question. I can't really think

438
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 3: of on off the top of my head. I mean,

439
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 3: you would sort of say that Dallas Mavericks of Dirk

440
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 3: in two thousand and six, but they blew that as well.

441
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: They were up two oh and should have been up

442
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: three to zero in that series, so it wasn't like

443
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 3: they saw a bad one though.

444
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

445
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, they got an answer from Ross on the stream team,

446
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 7: who says the OKC team in twenty twelve pretty likeable

447
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 7: at the time.

448
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 3: I guess that's a good point. Yeah, we all still

449
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: loved Westbrook and Hard and Durant at the same time then, so, uh,

450
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: I guess that's the one.

451
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 4: But they also let.

452
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 3: That series as well. Right, it's the first time Lebrons

453
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 3: won the championship without being without trialing in the.

454
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 4: Series, is that right?

455
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 5: Yeah?

456
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: Wow? Because he was down.

457
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was down against what was his first one Okay,

458
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 3: see he lost that first game. The hate the next

459
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 3: series was he was down yeah, three two, and then

460
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 3: of course the three one against the Warriors. So yeah,

461
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 3: there you go.

462
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: Street.

463
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 5: Many people commenting as well, asking was Gorn dragic you

464
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 5: a detriment to the team. I don't think so whatsoever.

465
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 6: I think the game was over before he came in,

466
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 6: and he was trying to chip out and be something

467
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 6: of an outlet offensively. They were down six when he

468
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 6: came in. They needed somebody to score. They just were

469
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 6: dragging offensively, and he got.

470
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 4: Bam and Ali up like first play of the game

471
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 4: right when he comes in. Yeah, because like you said,

472
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 4: he came in late in the first quarter. Then he

473
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 4: shot a three. It looked gone off.

474
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 5: All his shot was off.

475
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, rusty and he has some reservation. Lebron was on

476
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 4: in that one. But yeah, yeah, it was like they

477
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 4: didn't start them. They didn't bring him in like you know,

478
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 4: six Smiths in the game. It was a bit of like, well,

479
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 4: this guy really wants to play, and I think Tray's right,

480
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 4: maybe we get this willis reed just inspiration from putting

481
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 4: him in here, and who knows, maybe he catches fire.

482
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 4: It can hit a three or two. But I'm with you,

483
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 4: sorry task interrupt you there, but he did. He had

484
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 4: an impact right away. He threw the guy alog. I

485
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 4: mean they got a foul on the play. If I

486
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: remember correctly, I don't think Bam finished it, but yeah,

487
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 4: I just felt bad for him. I mean, the guy

488
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 4: looked like he's in tears a couple times throughout the

489
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 4: series and trying to get it to go in warm ups.

490
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he's never gonna zoom by anybody. So when

491
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 6: he looked out there, like when he was playing, he

492
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 6: looked fine, like if the shot was going down, it

493
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 6: would have looked like Goran Dragics from rounds one to

494
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 6: two and three felt like. But his shot was just off.

495
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 6: But as far as this team being likable, just watch

496
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 6: Eric Spolstra after the game his press conference. He cried

497
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 6: for over thirty seconds before he answered his first question.

498
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 6: He was just so touch to be with this team

499
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 6: for all, you know, twelve months. I guess it was

500
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 6: how how much he was in love with these dudes,

501
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 6: and he said, you know, this is what we're in

502
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 6: the business for, to be around people like this. So

503
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 6: Goran Dragas coming out there, it was very worthy to

504
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 6: throw him out there. You had to put him out there.

505
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 6: He was their leading scorer for the first three rounds.

506
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 6: I don't think it had anything to do with the outcome,

507
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 6: and that's why stats are sometimes bogus because he was

508
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 6: a plus two at the end of the game, in

509
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 6: the game that they lost by double digits. Oh, they

510
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 6: should have had him out there for forty eight minutes,

511
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 6: maybe they would have won.

512
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 2: And man, he won the second half out there.

513
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, right right, And when you say it, and you said,

514
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 6: bam at a baio was horrible and he was when

515
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 6: the game.

516
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 4: Was Yeah, he scored a ton of garbage time.

517
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, how that happened?

518
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 6: I know, I have no idea, but yeah, nobody, nobody

519
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 6: really made a difference in the result in real time

520
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 6: when the game was on the line. Doncan Robinson, actually

521
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 6: I thought looked the best out of anybody, especially because

522
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 6: he was dragging people around with him, because he always

523
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 6: drags a defender with him. I loved Solomon hills shot

524
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 6: as almost a buzz are expired man was getting his

525
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 6: points in.

526
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 3: But that's still the greatest mystery of this bubble. Solomon

527
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 3: Hill just popping up in the NBA Finals. I don't

528
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: remember seeing him at all, and then all of a sudden,

529
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 3: he's on the court hitting.

530
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 4: Threes for the heat.

531
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: Wow, where did he come from? Plus seven on the

532
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 2: name should have gave him some more time.

533
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 3: He probably finished the total plus for the entire series

534
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 3: because he seemed to come on, hit a couple of

535
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 3: shots and that was it. So yeah, that was a

536
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: real surprise.

537
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 4: But Tass said he didn't mind like the celebrations, you know,

538
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 4: the social distance celebrations after what did you think, Lee

539
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 4: of the what they did there, you know with the

540
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 4: confetti going off and all that in the interviews and

541
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 4: stuff like that.

542
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: Well, the confetti's were little Larry O'Brian trophies. Did you

543
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 3: see that?

544
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

545
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 3: I noticed a few people that put that out, But

546
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 3: it was good. You know, it was obviously different, weird circumstances,

547
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 3: but seeing Genie Bust the first female owner I believe,

548
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 3: to win a championship and you know, what we always

549
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 3: say is like, don't give the trophy to the owners,

550
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 3: give it to the players. And she basically said, guys,

551
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 3: go and get the trophy, which I thought was really cool.

552
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 4: And j R.

553
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 3: Smith already had it. He had his shirt off and

554
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 3: he was dancing around with it. But you know, it

555
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 3: was it was good to see some of those guys

556
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 3: who you know, have bounced around the league a little bit.

557
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 5: Now.

558
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: Jr's obviously won a championship before, but seeing him and

559
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: Dwight and javail In there on their Instagram lives after

560
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 3: the game, like they were streaming immediately as well, there's

561
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 3: almost no need for an NBA TV press conferences, like

562
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 3: just go to social media and watch the guys. And

563
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 3: they were all like Dwight, especially because he was really

564
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 3: emotional and so happy that he'd gotten there and he's

565
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 3: never give up, never give up and all this sort

566
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 3: of stuff, and you can just sort of see how

567
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 3: much it meant to him, so you know.

568
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 6: And did you see a tattoo on him? Because our

569
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 6: friend Can texted and said that Dwight has a large

570
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 6: owl tattoo on his chest. I didn't go verify this.

571
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 3: I had no tattoos for his entire career. And then

572
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 3: one summer he just got his entire body incdu That

573
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 3: was crazy. But you know, like again, those guys like

574
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 3: Dwight had obviously been to the Lakers as well, and

575
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 3: he left when he was still in his prime, and

576
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 3: he goes back there and all the emotions surrounding the

577
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant agity this season and Dwight who had been

578
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 3: playing in this series, and then basically got bench for

579
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 3: that last game, and it didn't affect him, of course.

580
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 3: He was just happy to win. So, you know, seeing

581
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 3: some of those guys just get to the get to

582
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 3: that achievement and win the championship was pretty funny, I thought.

583
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 3: And it's great to see, you know, everyone just having

584
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: fun there in the locker room and then everyone on

585
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 3: the podium. No one had a shirt on Carusso it's like,

586
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 3: I mean, someone put a shirt on, please.

587
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 5: No way.

588
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 3: Seeing the barns, but like, you know what, you know what,

589
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 3: Alex Caruso has got an old man's like chest, hair

590
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 3: bott already.

591
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 4: It's like, Alex, you put a shirt back up. I

592
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 4: don't mind, Champion, Champion, you can do whatever you want,

593
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 4: you said, you said the social media streams after the game.

594
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 4: Did you see that they forgot Quinn Cook the arena?

595
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 4: And he told Jered Smith, who was live on Instagram,

596
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 4: come back and give you.

597
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 7: That great and I mean honestly a great moment when

598
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 7: the Clark is ticking down. You know, this was a

599
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 7: thirty point game with like sixteen minutes remaining. It was like,

600
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 7: how are they not celebrating this entire time? I guess

601
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 7: you do have to actually play the rest of the game.

602
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 7: You can't just seem to end. But so funny hearing

603
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 7: the broadcast.

604
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 5: J R.

605
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 7: Smith has his shirt off already, there's still time left

606
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 7: on the clock and yeah, like you said late that

607
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 7: he's the first guy to touch the trophy.

608
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 2: Just great stuff. You know, it was fun. It was fun.

609
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 7: It's fun seeing Alex cru So, Tom Cruise's face, Tom

610
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 7: Haberstro's hair, like lease say, and he's got the chest

611
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 7: of an eighty year old man. Everybody else, keep your

612
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 7: shirt off. Caruso throwing on Bud.

613
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 4: I was I didn't know what Lebron was doing it first,

614
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 4: like during the the championship, you know, award, like the ceremony,

615
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 4: because he was like hanging out like so far in

616
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 4: the back because you think like they're gonna hand him

617
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 4: the trophy first, or he's gonna go grab the trophy first.

618
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, that was he was just sort of lingering

619
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 4: in the back. And then finally he made his way

620
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 4: up there when he got the finals MVP. I thought

621
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 4: he had a really surprise surprise. Lebron great on Mike.

622
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 4: You know, obviously you said the asking for respect line there,

623
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 4: but him advocating for the continued push too for social

624
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 4: justice was pretty awesome as well. And look, I mean,

625
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 4: the NBA needs to take a damn bow here, because

626
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 4: a lot of us, some of us on this very podcast,

627
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 4: pretty damn skeptical this would they'd be able to pull

628
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 4: this off. But you know, congrats to him, Adam Silver,

629
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 4: in his entire NBA team and the players Association and

630
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 4: what they did, the Disney employees that have been there

631
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 4: for months on end pulling off what again a lot

632
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 4: of people thought was impossible and zero positive cases for

633
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 4: this entire bubble run is pretty special and that they

634
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 4: got it done. I know the NHL had some success

635
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 4: as well, so you know, it just shows what you

636
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 4: can get accomplished with some you know, some strong leadership

637
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 4: in play you can actually sort of take care of things.

638
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 4: But that was amazing. Even if the game sort of

639
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 4: did suck, you started to feel bad for the heat,

640
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 4: but a lot of people thought the Lakers were gonna

641
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 4: win anyway. So in the end, the team that was

642
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 4: one of the best teams all regular season long came

643
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 4: through the end because they also have little on an

644
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 4: ad What a surprise, right, right, And.

645
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 5: And kudos to Adam Silver. As well.

646
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 6: For when he awarded the trophy, he didn't say that

647
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 6: you get the Louis Vaton case.

648
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 5: He said it indirectly. He said, because of that, because.

649
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 6: The Larry O'Brien comes in a Louis Vuitton case, and

650
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 6: he said, well, you can go grab that trophy and

651
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 6: I guess you get the case as well.

652
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 5: But he didn't do the branding.

653
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 6: So kudos to him a nice indirect without saying that

654
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 6: we sold out on the Lario Brian trophy. But I

655
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 6: also love the moment. It was a great split screen

656
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 6: with a minute left when we're all just waiting for

657
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 6: the celebration to happen, and Anthony Davis and Lebron James

658
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 6: went to a video board that's sort of behind the

659
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 6: bench where there's a giant Larry O'Brien, like a fifteen

660
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 6: foot image of the Larry O'Brian, and they just went

661
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 6: over there and were hugging the video board. They were,

662
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 6: you know, there are obviously buds and like I really liked,

663
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 6: you know, Anthony Davis on the mic when you know

664
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 6: they were all trying to like, you know, they they

665
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 6: biged each other up all season long, him and Lebron

666
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 6: and le Bron was definitely pushing him and as he said,

667
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 6: it kind of was like him going to Miami the

668
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 6: way that you know, they grabbed Anthony Davis from from

669
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 6: New Orleans and were able to just push him into

670
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 6: the spotlight and push him into the one a roll,

671
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 6: whatever you.

672
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 5: Would call it.

673
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 6: And he thrived. The man thrived, and even ad was

674
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 6: was better on the mic. You could see LA has

675
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 6: had an effect on him. I think his personality is

676
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 6: coming out more as well. We talked to I remember

677
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 6: we talked to a mere Bluemenfeld earlier this season talking

678
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 6: about Anthony Davis's personality or.

679
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 5: Lack there of. It didn't come out in New Orleans,

680
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 5: but it's it's coming out. It's coming out in LA.

681
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 4: Slowly, slowly. I don't think you'll ever get to Lebron

682
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 4: levels by any means, but yeah, I'm with you. I'm

683
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 4: with you. It's it's it's it's coming through a little

684
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 4: bit more. And congratulations. Then that's pretty cool. I mean, look,

685
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 4: they orchestrated this trade for him to come to LA.

686
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 4: You know, trade all weigh a lot of pieces and

687
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 4: to get him there, and in the first season he

688
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 4: successfully pulls it off. It's a very crazy season, but

689
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 4: gets the title and is pretty damn dominant. I mean,

690
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 4: he really was. You know, if he's not playing on

691
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 4: a team with Lebron, he's Finals MVP for sure. So

692
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 4: it was an awesome, awesome performance from him. It was

693
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 4: cool to see that they're they're an unbelievable one too,

694
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 4: and I think you really can I know that this

695
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 4: is not to knock Dwayne Wade by any means, but

696
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 4: hell man, there's a case we made that this is

697
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 4: Lebron's greatest teammate at the age he's at and maybe

698
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 4: just maybe just scratching the surface of how dominant he

699
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 4: can be, specially on both ends of the especially on

700
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 4: both ends of the floor, that Ad is Lebron's greatest teammate,

701
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 4: like best teammate. I think it's again that's not a

702
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 4: knock on Kyrie or Wade or Bosh even, but he's

703
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 4: not damn good. He's especially I know you've been talking

704
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 4: about the whole season, Tray.

705
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 7: He can be the best player on both ends of

706
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 7: the court in every single game while playing next to

707
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 7: Lebron in his first big playoff run with a contending

708
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 7: team around him. Anthony Davis went for twenty eight points

709
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 7: a game, ten rebounds, shooting fifty seven percent on jumpers,

710
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 7: thirty eight on three, eighty three percent on free throw attempts.

711
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 7: The guy's basically fifty forty ninety in the playoffs as

712
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 7: a seven foot big man who's the best defensive player

713
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 7: still going in the playoffs.

714
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: Impressive stuff.

715
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,959
Speaker 7: And like you're saying, he's so young right now, and

716
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 7: I mean, it would be the biggest upset in the

717
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 7: history of sports if Anthony Davis signs anywhere else with

718
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 7: the Lakers.

719
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 4: But I mean, they.

720
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 7: Are set up so nice right here because eighty is

721
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 7: just the perfect guy to play alongside Lebron. You know,

722
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 7: Ady picks up all these easy little points that we

723
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 7: saw him just pile up, especially in games one and

724
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 7: two of the series, where Lebron is kind of penetrating

725
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 7: to the land, He's able to find Anthony Davis for

726
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 7: an easy drop off or Casey p missus a three

727
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 7: and Anthony Davis is there for the rebound. But you

728
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 7: have to be thinking, I mean, it's early. It's the

729
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 7: first championship Anthony Davis. As we know, this guy suffers

730
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 7: a career ending injury every single game of the playoffs,

731
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 7: Like we were talking, his heel seem to be hurt

732
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 7: quite a bit in Game five, didn't look like he

733
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 7: was hobbled at all in Game six. Injuries will always

734
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 7: be a question, but it's early dynasty talk. You got

735
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 7: to be thinking that the Lakers are going to get

736
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 7: better from here on out. Anthony Davis himself will get

737
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 7: better from here on out. I mean it's gonna be

738
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 7: a mic and like run for this guy. You have

739
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 7: to think he dominates on both sides. Who in the

740
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 7: Western Conference can stick Anthony Davis? Yeah, nobody, right, Like nope?

741
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 5: Who else? And he wasn't himself, you know for the

742
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 5: last maybe yeah, maybe old enough.

743
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 6: He's old, yeah, and a lot shorter, but yeah, he'll

744
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 6: he would physically be with him. But Anthony Davis, I

745
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 6: think has learned a lot from just playing deep into

746
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 6: the playoffs. He made the second round once. This is

747
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 6: his first time getting to a conference finals and then

748
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 6: a final, so I think you could sort of expect

749
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 6: that he wouldn't be one hundred percent in the finals

750
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 6: just because he hadn't been there. So I think going

751
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 6: into next season, just like Lebron did over over his career,

752
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 6: knows what he has to do to his body just

753
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 6: to be fresh in the playoffs or in the in

754
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 6: the finals, deep into the playoffs. So I think that'll

755
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 6: help too, And especially in this day and a where

756
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 6: teams are smaller and there's more room out there because

757
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 6: everybody's shooting three balls. Anthony Davis compliments Lebron super super super, Well,

758
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 6: if he's got space, he should be able to hammer.

759
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 6: And this was the first time that the Lakers, you know,

760
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 6: assembled a cast here. This is the first year they

761
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 6: did that. So they're only going to assemble it better

762
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 6: around these guys as long as Lebron stays fresh than

763
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 6: they got shot every year in the next couple of

764
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 6: years for sure.

765
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 3: Well that's the big challenge. I just with the cap

766
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 3: with them, because when once Anthony Davis signs his max

767
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 3: extension and whatever that's going to be, you know, starting

768
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 3: at forty five million or something, they're not going to

769
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 3: have a ton of room. So it's going to be

770
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 3: Rob Polinka have to get creative to get those guys

771
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 3: who have been great complimentary pieces for him. Now, when

772
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 3: you are in the position the Lakers are where you're

773
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 3: likely going to be favorite to win the championship, next year,

774
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 3: you probably it's probably likely you are going to be

775
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 3: able to get those vets who take a little bit

776
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 3: less just to be a part of that team. But

777
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: that is going to be a challenge because you've got

778
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 3: Danny Green, you know, just looking at it here, Danny Green's, oh,

779
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 3: fifteen million next season. Caldwell Post's probably going to opt

780
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 3: into his content back to worth bad eight and a half,

781
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 3: not a million, Bradley, JaVale McGee, Alix Scrusa. They're under

782
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 3: contract so and they're already according to Basketball Reference at

783
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 3: around one hundred and twenty million, with Anthony Davis is

784
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 3: picking up his option for next season, which he probably

785
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 3: won't do. So that's going to be the challenge there

786
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 3: for the Lakers. But again, once you've got Lebron and

787
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis, all those other little things can be figured

788
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 3: out knowing that players are gonna want to go and

789
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 3: play there.

790
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is tough, though. I don't think I would

791
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 4: be putting money on the Lakers to repeat that's as

792
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 4: great as they are and having Lebron and Ad and I,

793
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 4: as I just talked about, I'm with you Trey Ad

794
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 4: in theory should just get better. Why would Lebron fall off.

795
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 4: Can those other guys like your le Rondo's and Dwight's

796
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 4: and Carusos and Kcp's and Danny Green's and all these guys,

797
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 4: can they continue to contribute Kuzma even get maybe a

798
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 4: little bit better. But man, it's like the Warriors should

799
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 4: be the Warriors again. And the Clippers, of course, it's

800
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 4: always tough to do in the first year when you

801
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 4: build sort of like a diner or superstar like team,

802
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 4: they usually get better in those cases, and they've got

803
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 4: a new coach coming in. Of course, there's the Nuggets

804
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 4: on the rise, and who knows what the rockets for.

805
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 4: Always that's tough. It's just tough. And I just like, also,

806
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 4: were the Lakers like the Heat? I guess when we

807
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 4: talked about it, did they benefit from this bubble because

808
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 4: of their leaders, because of like Jimmy with the Heat

809
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 4: and Lebron with La of just the way those guys

810
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 4: lock in and get the best from their guys and

811
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 4: like stay focused on the goal. I just wonder in

812
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 4: this really weird bubble setting, if if that helped both

813
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 4: of these teams, and ken they continue to do that

814
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 4: in a normal, more normal setting, We'll see, but I

815
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 4: don't think, I just I guess I wouldn't bet on

816
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 4: them to repeat, and then and then that that's not

817
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 4: even you know, mentioning obviously good teams in the Eastern

818
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 4: Conference who you would final least one of them you're

819
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 4: going to see in the finals if they got there.

820
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 4: So let's hear from people out there, tweet out us

821
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 4: that no dunk sink and let us know in the

822
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 4: YouTube comments right now, would you be betting on the

823
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 4: Lakers to go back to back? They usually do, don't

824
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 4: they the Lakers? Right, so maybe you're on board with that.

825
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 6: They're gonna get Avery Radley for free. It's nice, nice, yeah,

826
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 6: and bonus for next season. Right, And wasn't there one

827
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 6: thing that we talked about earlier, Dwight Howard with a

828
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 6: big owl on his chest. Let's see a JD for

829
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 6: all our YouTubers.

830
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 5: Got a photo. Oh okay, that's an owl with wings.

831
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 5: I thought it was going to be more ovo esque,

832
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 5: but that's a full chest owl, full chest wings splayed

833
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 5: looking good looking.

834
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 4: Good splash that three late there? Yeah, finals came to

835
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 4: anything to add to the Lakers lebron moving forward? When

836
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 4: you got anything else? So that you guys want to

837
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 4: touch on, just.

838
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 3: Find it odd when they just suck on a cigar

839
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 3: straight away. Still. I know, I know, it's like the

840
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 3: celebrationary thing to do, but smoking a cigar is just awful,

841
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 3: like unless you're like you're smoking them all the time,

842
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 3: like we saw in the last Dance Michael Jordan was

843
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 3: smoking them all the time, so at the end of

844
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 3: winning a championship wasn't a big thing. But I don't

845
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 3: see Lebron smoking a cigar nine to five Monday and

846
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 3: then he just sucks on one, like you be exhausted

847
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 3: and a little bit dehydrated and you're like, ah.

848
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 4: Suck on, it's getting a little buzz.

849
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 3: Leon, I know, but it's like it's the hangover is

850
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 3: so much worse.

851
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 5: I think you'll be Okay, we got time to rast, mate,

852
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 5: I know.

853
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying champagne and cigars are the two

854
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 3: worst things for a hangout. Champagne is so great going

855
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 3: down the next morning, you're just like, oh, their heads

856
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 3: just rocking side to side.

857
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 5: But these guys are super athletes. They're not you, man,

858
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 5: I'm telling you.

859
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 3: But if you don't if you're not used to smoking cigar,

860
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 3: just to breathe all that in and then ah, you're

861
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 3: gonna have an awful.

862
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 2: Just to sucking on cigars.

863
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't, Well, when do we see lebron Just

864
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 3: like like sucking on it because you're not seeing them.

865
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 4: Doesn't mean.

866
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 2: It's like TV like three hours of night. There's other days.

867
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 2: Maybe you either.

868
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 5: Smoke them every day, every minute, every day or never.

869
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, you go and smoke one today and

870
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 3: drink some champagne. I bet you have a massive hangover

871
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 3: in the morning.

872
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 4: Oh okay, so that's worse than the name banana challenge?

873
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 4: Or did you smoke a cigar after the birth of

874
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 4: any of your children?

875
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 3: No, but a friend of mine gave me a cigar

876
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 3: and said, he you go, and I was like, I

877
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 3: thinks I'm not gonna smoke it. I like, that's the

878
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 3: last thing I feel like doing, like coughing and stinking

879
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 3: up the hospital room as well.

880
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: You go.

881
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 3: Imagine that got in to Rocks and She's like, oh,

882
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 3: what have you been doing? I smiked a cigar. I

883
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 3: don't know why.

884
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 7: Okay, did either of you Trey test what you smoke

885
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,959
Speaker 7: a cigar after the children were born?

886
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 2: Not a cigar? Certainly.

887
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 4: No, that's what I think too. They would prefer to

888
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 4: maybe smoke something else there right there on the floor,

889
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 4: but in the locker room. But cigar is the next

890
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 4: best thing.

891
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, exactly. But I mean, I guess Lee

892
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 2: is right.

893
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 7: You know, you don't see Lebron smoking cigars as often

894
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 7: as you saw Michael Jordan. But if we're going to

895
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 7: see Lebron smoking a cigar pregame holding the baseball bat,

896
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 7: why not. If you're going to pay tribute to MJ,

897
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 7: go the full distance, go the full Jay holding off

898
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 7: the bat taking BP.

899
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 4: And that's why, that's why Lee has MJ as his

900
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 4: goat over Lebron. More cigars that he saw with his

901
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 4: own eyes.

902
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 3: Jordan was smoking in the car on the way to

903
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 3: a game, which was incredible. I will say one thing

904
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 3: about Lebron though, he looks kind of like he has

905
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 3: smoked a few cigars though before. Like it's not like he's.

906
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 4: Likely has man, we're trying to tell you that, but

907
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 4: it's at least four cigars.

908
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looked like he looked cool doing it. It's

909
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 3: just like, I bet he's coughing a bit this morning.

910
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 4: Do you think like it was gonna be like that

911
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 4: infomercial or the guy's bubbling all the wires and moses

912
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 4: that he's gonna he's gonna bobble his cigar.

913
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe, I mean that's the thing, Lebron, So, you know,

914
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 3: good on the court with the basketball, but maybe with

915
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 3: a cigar. He's like, he fumbles it a bit. But

916
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 3: he did well, he did well, he smoked well.

917
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 4: All right, anything else, tasks do you want to add

918
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 4: to this?

919
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 5: Well?

920
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 6: I think Lee is right about one thing. If your

921
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 6: wife just gave birth, don't smoke in the hospital room,

922
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 6: plumes of smoke into her face. Not a great idea,

923
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 6: but yeah, why the heck not? I mean there was

924
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 6: a different time smoking in the car for MJ. Like

925
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 6: this ain't the nineties anymore. Lebron could have Like if

926
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 6: I wonder if they smoked on the bus on the

927
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 6: way home, probably not.

928
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, couples, I don't know.

929
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 5: I'm going fifty to fifty on there.

930
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: Depends on if the bus windows open.

931
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 4: You guys are crazy. They're smoking indoors as it is,

932
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 4: you're not supposed to be probably legally doing that.

933
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 5: What in the arena?

934
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 4: You mean, yeah, get them back. You're supposed to be.

935
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 5: No, it wasn't that.

936
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 6: That was a thing last year in or I guess

937
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 6: there's two years ago and Oracle was in Steph smoking

938
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 6: a cigar when he went up to the podium, and

939
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 6: I had he was doing it, but it was illegal

940
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 6: at least.

941
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd be really funny if there's like a smoking

942
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 4: section outside that they had to go out and light

943
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 4: up his sto celebrate their championship. All right, well, let's

944
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 4: call it there. In terms of talking about the game,

945
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 4: we do have a few questions that we want to

946
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 4: get into today's show. But let's take a quick break.

947
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 4: All right, little beach tees, get our toes in the sands. Yeah,

948
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 4: this one's a fun question, A quick question, No dunkers.

949
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 4: Did Jimmy Butler just become a future Hall of Famer? Now?

950
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 4: This one sent in of course after Game five, I

951
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 4: think from Leo in Singapore. But wow, we love to

952
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 4: do this with our stars in the league. Are they

953
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 4: Hall of Famers? Future Hall of famers? Trey? What do

954
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 4: you think Jimmy Butler? You're a big fan, but is

955
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 4: he a Hall of Famer?

956
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: I'm up on this.

957
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 7: He's now a future Hall of Famer, which is an

958
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 7: upgrade from potential Hall of Famer because I think, you know,

959
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 7: three months ago, nobody would say Jimmy Butler is going

960
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 7: to the Hall of Fame, despite the fact that he

961
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 7: has some pretty decent accolades. You know, he's been a

962
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 7: four time All Defense Guy, five time All Star, three

963
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 7: time third team All NBA player. But seeing him going

964
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 7: toe to toe with Lebron here in the finals has

965
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 7: certainly elevated his status to the point where at the

966
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 7: very least, he's going to be getting these respect votes

967
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 7: for the next couple of seasons. You know, he's getting

968
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 7: on in years age wise, he'll be thirty two during

969
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 7: next season. But once you go toe to toe with Lebron,

970
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 7: once you are firmly established, I would say, as a

971
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 7: top ten guy, you're gonna get invited to All Star

972
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 7: Games all the time now, So it's not surprise. It

973
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 7: wouldn't be surprising to be to see Jimmy get to

974
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 7: seven or eight, maybe even nine All Star Games by

975
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 7: the time his career is done, just because everybody's in

976
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 7: love with Jimmy Butler right now. That was not the

977
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 7: case prior to this season with the Miami Heat. You know,

978
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 7: his reputation was that of a locker room cancer, as

979
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 7: a diva kind of guy. But as we all know,

980
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 7: he just wants to work hard and be the man.

981
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 7: People really saw that this season, and I think that

982
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 7: that the respect for Jimmy Butler is going to be

983
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 7: going up, up, up, up up up Right now, He's

984
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 7: at like a forty three percent chance on basketball reference

985
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 7: of making it to the Hall of Fame. He's there

986
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 7: with guys like Blake Griffin, Paul George, of course, Damian Lillard,

987
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 7: Kevin love Rondo, surprisingly guys that you think I think,

988
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 7: you know, their career could kind of go either way.

989
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 7: Are they going to continue to stack up numbers and

990
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 7: accolades and make it to the Hall of Fame or

991
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 7: will they just be one of those really good players

992
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 7: that made a bunch of All Star teams that we

993
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 7: remember from the past. But you know, I think that

994
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 7: Jimmy has the respect now, so I think we can

995
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,439
Speaker 7: at least call him a future Hall of Famer rather

996
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 7: than a potential Hall of Famer. There's levels to this,

997
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 7: all right, What.

998
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 5: Do you think, Tess, I'm squeezing them in.

999
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think there's a few years left to boost

1000
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 6: those accolades, not to necessarily get any sort of total

1001
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 6: number of points that are going to be worthy of

1002
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 6: the Hall of Fame, because he hasn't even hit ten

1003
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 6: thousand points, which you kind of have to double that

1004
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 6: if you're going to be a Hall of Famer. So

1005
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 6: the point total is low, but he's going to benefit

1006
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 6: from being on a Spursy type team where he doesn't

1007
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 6: have to score a ton and he's still going to

1008
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 6: get the All Star nods and that factors into being

1009
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 6: a Hall of Famer.

1010
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 5: So, yeah, he's at five now.

1011
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 6: If he gets up to eight plus being in the

1012
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 6: finals as a loser, sure, a guy who lost, but

1013
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 6: if you're going to lose in the finals, pick the

1014
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 6: year that is going to be the most memorable, as

1015
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 6: everybody will remember this year as as a guy who

1016
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 6: had a special run. And he has the benefit of

1017
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 6: peeking towards the end of his career, unlike somebody like

1018
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 6: Derreck Rose. You know, not to put Derek Rose down,

1019
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 6: but you know it's hard not to compare Derek Rose,

1020
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 6: you know, peaked super early with the Bulls and then

1021
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 6: you know, became a different player, while Jimmy it's like.

1022
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 4: Kyle Lowry, a little bit where their their careers are

1023
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 4: flipped a little bit. It's a slow start, slow burn,

1024
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 4: and then it's starts ramping up and the respect is there.

1025
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, but he's but unlike Kyle Lowry, I guess he's

1026
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 6: going to get the benefit of everything that this team does.

1027
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 5: It's all on him, right like that.

1028
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 6: That's Jimmy gets, will get all the accolades, you know,

1029
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 6: because he's been a number one.

1030
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 5: Unlike Lowry has been you know, a one, A one B.

1031
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 5: But it's it's it's it's interesting.

1032
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 6: It is crazy that two months ago I wouldn't think whatsoever.

1033
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 6: But I don't think I'm just riding the high here.

1034
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 6: I think I'm buying it. I'm buying it a few

1035
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 6: years down the road because you have to think that

1036
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 6: the heat are going to be good for a few years.

1037
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 6: And even if he's not putting up twenty a game,

1038
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 6: which he didn't this year, he's at nineteen nine and

1039
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 6: still still making the All Star team. I mean, Ken,

1040
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 6: you deny an eight time All Star. I'm guessing here,

1041
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 6: you know, four tenth time All Defense at least, because

1042
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 6: he's there already three time All NBA at least. I

1043
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 6: mean as a the accolades are really really good as

1044
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 6: a when you step back, if you want it, if

1045
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 6: you want to just say the guy, the guy I

1046
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 6: see a Hall of Famer like Tomorrow de Rosen, Joe Johnson,

1047
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 6: Are they hall of Famers?

1048
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 5: He can say, no, I get it, I get it.

1049
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 5: But that's why Jimmy, I think.

1050
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 4: He needs a title. I do, and has some still

1051
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,879
Speaker 4: time to do that, Lee, but I don't right now.

1052
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,919
Speaker 4: I hear what you guys are saying. Yeah, if he's

1053
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 4: like got six or seven of all these accolades like

1054
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 4: All NBA and All Defensive and All Stars, that's that's good.

1055
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 4: That's impressive. There are guys in the Hall of Fame

1056
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 4: with that though, like Task you pointed out, a lot

1057
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 4: of those guys, that level of guys that are there

1058
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 4: have like the crazy counting stats that are just like, wow,

1059
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 4: that's a lot of damn points Mitch Richard squored. Okay, respect,

1060
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 4: but I sort of feel like he's got to cap

1061
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 4: it off, so to speak, with a title. I really

1062
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 4: do for him to maybe really get in there. But

1063
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 4: what do you think.

1064
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 3: I think he's got to get as close as he

1065
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 3: was this season, probably at least once or twice more

1066
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 3: throughout his career because if let's say, next two seasons,

1067
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 3: he gets bounced down in the first round of the playoffs,

1068
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 3: that will go against him because he doesn't have a

1069
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 3: lot of out of side the NBA success. He won

1070
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 3: a gold medal I think in Rio in twenty sixteen.

1071
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 3: But he's probably not going to play for Team USA again.

1072
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 3: I don't think. I mean, maybe he will not.

1073
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 4: Maybe NBA players won't be playing.

1074
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 3: Well that's a thing, so you know, who knows if

1075
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 3: he's going to win there or play there. But yeah,

1076
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 3: I mean, based on what we've seen this season, you

1077
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 3: think he is going to be you know, he's going

1078
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 3: to have a say in what happens in the playoffs

1079
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:52,959
Speaker 3: in the next few years. But it's never that easy.

1080
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 3: It never just things don't always follow along. Because if

1081
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 3: you look at the Eastern Conference again, the Celtics, the Nets,

1082
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 3: the Raptors, the Bucks, all those four teams have got

1083
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 3: a strong case to make the NBA Finals from the

1084
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 3: Eastern Conference next year. So the Heat had got a

1085
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 3: battle against at least two of those teams to get there,

1086
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 3: and it's going to be hard. I mean, they did

1087
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 3: it this season, but you just got to keep on

1088
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 3: doing it in the NBA, And as you guys are

1089
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 3: saying there, Jimmy's not a sort of guy who's going

1090
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 3: to average all of a sudden twenty eight a game

1091
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 3: next season. He's just not that guy. So he's not

1092
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 3: going to build up a huge statistical resume there. He's

1093
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 3: going to be more about whether or not he can

1094
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,479
Speaker 3: actually get those the harder stuff like the championships, all NBA,

1095
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 3: maybe first team and just consistently being there. That's going

1096
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 3: to be the challenge for him. So I think, you know,

1097
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 3: I would say right now, more likely than not, but

1098
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,479
Speaker 3: there's certainly nowhere near a lock at any at this point.

1099
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 4: I'd it's crazy. Like I said, if we put up

1100
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 4: a Paul three months ago, is Jimmy Butler a future

1101
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 4: Hall of Famer? I I would love to see the results,

1102
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 4: Like what would it be at like ten percent? Maybe

1103
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 4: like saying yes, I don't know if you put it up.

1104
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 4: We put it up today on No Dunk's Twitter account,

1105
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 4: like I bet it's I don't know. Again, there's a guess,

1106
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 4: but it's closer to fifty to fifty and if not

1107
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 4: even higher, you know, riding the little recency bias and

1108
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 4: how dominant he was versus Lebron in the finals. But yeah,

1109
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,720
Speaker 4: well we will see. You had some time, hopefully with Jimmy.

1110
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 4: What is he though? Thirty one years old? He's not

1111
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 4: he's not young. He's not young, and he played I

1112
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 4: think four years at college? Did he not too? But yeah,

1113
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 4: we'll see. Okay, next one here?

1114
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 5: Hey, do nunks? I've noticed NBA players look really cool

1115
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 5: when they wear their sweatpants high up with their shirts

1116
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 5: tucked in. But when I try it, I'm no longer

1117
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,959
Speaker 5: welcome at home? What else looks cool when an NBA

1118
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 5: player does it, but lame when the rest of us

1119
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 5: do it? Pull up, tuck your shirt? Wow.

1120
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 6: That's from David Calgary, but from Toronto, and he always

1121
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 6: signs his emails like that, longtime fan, Wow, and thanks

1122
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 6: Dave Skeets.

1123
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 5: What do you think?

1124
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 4: Well, I actually don't have an answer to his question.

1125
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 4: I'll let you guys take that. But he's not wrong

1126
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 4: that NBA players look cool when they do it, and

1127
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 4: so does our very own Trey Kirby, who started doing it.

1128
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 4: I would say, what the last year or so going

1129
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 4: with tucked in? Look, I'm convinced it only works for

1130
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 4: some people. I've tried it. I've dabbled in the tuck.

1131
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 4: It doesn't work for me. Now, I think you got

1132
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 4: I think it helps when you're a big dude, like

1133
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 4: like Trey Kirby six y five or an NBA player.

1134
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 4: Of course, I think it's just a better proportionate look.

1135
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 4: I just look really weird when I do it, because

1136
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 4: I also actually I have long legs, brous sort of

1137
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 4: like normal height I am, So it looks really strange

1138
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 4: when I do it. So this is just to point

1139
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 4: it out. You're right, Dave, they look cool, and some

1140
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 4: people can. But some people look cool in high top

1141
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 4: shoes and some look like dufuses. To me, it's like

1142
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 4: this weird thing where, for whatever reason, not everybody can

1143
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 4: do it. And that's fine. We don't all to look

1144
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 4: the same anyway. But Trey, you do look cool when

1145
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 4: you tuck it in.

1146
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 7: Man, I appreciate it, Skeys, but I think you got

1147
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 7: to give it another shot. Man tucked in shirts. It's

1148
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 7: a classic cool guy move. You know, Mick Jagger tucked

1149
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 7: in his T shirts. I think I was the coolest

1150
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 7: man on the planet for a few years.

1151
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 4: Then does Lenny Kravitz tucking in the shirt. My buddy

1152
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 4: Brush wants to day well.

1153
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 7: Unfortunately for Lenny Kravitz, sometimes he unto out of his pants.

1154
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 4: It's the main problem for him that day. Different would

1155
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 4: have gotten caught on the shirt tucked in his pants

1156
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 4: when they split, and it wouldn't have dropped it. That's

1157
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 4: a great point.

1158
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, he should have been untucked. Unfortunately.

1159
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 7: Uh, something the NBA players can wear that looks cool

1160
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 7: for them does not look cool for uh, the normal guy.

1161
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 2: A shooting sleeve.

1162
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 7: Like, if you show up at a shooting sleeve to

1163
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 7: a pickup run, you better have an actual elbow injury.

1164
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 7: My buddy Adam like hurt his elbow once upon a

1165
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 7: time he actually had to wear a shooting sleeve. Where

1166
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 7: like he's like just a big old guy. You know,

1167
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 7: he's not supposed to be out there shooting threes, but

1168
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 7: he's running around with a shooting sleeve.

1169
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 2: It's a tough look.

1170
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 4: You know.

1171
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 7: I've owned a couple of shooting sleeves and I've never

1172
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 7: this is big for me. I've never even had the

1173
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 7: balls to wear him to a pick up run because

1174
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,439
Speaker 7: I'm like, what's somebody gonna say, Oh, you hurt your elbow. No,

1175
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 7: I just want to keep it warm for I'm kidding. Yeah,

1176
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 7: I don't think a shooting sleeve. If you go with

1177
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 7: a double shooting sleeve, if you pull the Kirk Heinrich

1178
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,720
Speaker 7: showing up at a pickup run, you're a truly insane person.

1179
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 4: All right, You guys have a lee gun answer for this?

1180
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 5: Yeah I have.

1181
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 3: I've just actually sent JD a picture. I don't know

1182
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 3: if he's got time to bring it up. This is

1183
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 3: how I think I look wearing a headband when I play,

1184
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 3: But this is how I actually look when I wear

1185
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 3: a headband.

1186
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 4: Well done.

1187
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've tried to again with Trey. Trey, it sort

1188
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 3: of suits him more wearing a headband. I've seen you

1189
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 3: wear one pretty much every game, don't you tray when

1190
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 3: you play?

1191
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 2: I got to now.

1192
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and now I haven't had haircut in six months,

1193
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 3: So maybe I'm getting a little closer to that Dirk

1194
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 3: look that I'm that I that I think I look

1195
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 3: like when I play.

1196
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 4: But yeah, it doesn't.

1197
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 3: It doesn't fit me too well, doesn't It doesn't suit

1198
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:51,720
Speaker 3: me all that well.

1199
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 7: Steve and Ash has had the funniest headband bell of

1200
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 7: all time looks so weird.

1201
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 4: Yeah you got an answer to this?

1202
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 6: I think so, and slides is my answer. I don't

1203
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 6: think they're cool. Hira Rais also mentioned it here. Yeah,

1204
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 6: I don't think they're cool in general. I don't like

1205
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 6: seeing people on the street do it.

1206
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 5: But guys can pull it off. The NBA players, it

1207
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 5: looks I don't know, normal. I guess I don't know.

1208
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,760
Speaker 4: The j Serrano looks cool as hell when he rocks it.

1209
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 4: Socks and slides some people. Can you write enough for me?

1210
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 4: What do you think about Snoop Dogg on the beach.

1211
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 5: Though he's wearing socks and slide? Yeah, yeah, it's weird

1212
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 5: on the beach, big mistake.

1213
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 4: I don't like you.

1214
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 6: Going to get back to your hotel room, mister Snoop,

1215
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 6: and they're gonna have sand everywhere.

1216
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,760
Speaker 5: Come one of those socks?

1217
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 3: Good?

1218
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 2: All right?

1219
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 4: Well one more here, gentlemen. On top of everything else,

1220
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 4: the prospect of a winter without you and basketball seems bleak. Indeed,

1221
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 4: may I ask what the plan is going forward? Thank

1222
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 4: you so much for all you've done for your fans

1223
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 4: in this awful time since here. This is from Liz

1224
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 4: in Akron, Ohio. Thank you, Liz. Yeah, let's tackle this here, uh,

1225
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 4: because I know a lot of people are tweeting in

1226
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,959
Speaker 4: what's next for you guys? The season is final over, JD.

1227
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 4: I don't know if you're there, if you're listening, but

1228
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,280
Speaker 4: I checked checked the old calendar. You and I flew

1229
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 4: to Toronto a year ago today to set up recording

1230
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 4: our first podcast for the Athletic. If you guys remember

1231
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 4: if you weren't with us at that time, JD and I.

1232
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 4: Because of work visa issues, we had to actually go

1233
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 4: back to Canada to start the podcast while these guys

1234
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 4: stayed here in Atlanta and found our studio and stuff

1235
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 4: like that. So a year to the day and then

1236
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 4: a couple days later we were starting our first one.

1237
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 4: That is that's crazy, and this is our three hundred

1238
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 4: and thirty fifth show within this I say calendar year,

1239
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,399
Speaker 4: but NBA season year. Let's be honest too.

1240
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 8: Really, that's crazy. I can't believe it. We were stuck

1241
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 8: in Canada, now we're stuck in the US.

1242
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, crazy time.

1243
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,439
Speaker 4: That's a great point. We couldn't fly home this year

1244
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 4: to see our family unfortunately. Yeah, it's very weird. So

1245
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,399
Speaker 4: what is our plan moving forward?

1246
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 5: Here?

1247
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 4: Tell me if I'm you know, wrong here, guys, but

1248
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 4: our plan I think is to record a few episodes

1249
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 4: per week. We're gonna obviously scale back, we need to

1250
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 4: take a bit of a break, but we'll do a

1251
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 4: couple episodes per week as we lead up to the

1252
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 4: draft NBA Draft, which I think is still scheduled for

1253
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 4: November eighteenth. Now we're gonna call in some draft experts

1254
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 4: the closer we get to that day too, to help

1255
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 4: us out as definitely sort of like a blind spot

1256
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 4: for us. We don't know a ton about college ball,

1257
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 4: but we'll have some content around the draft and leading

1258
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 4: up for it. We'll try and do some beach step

1259
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 4: in podcasts of course throughout the week, So keep your

1260
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 4: questions coming now, dunks at the Athletic dot Com, keep

1261
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,720
Speaker 4: emailing them in or at no dunks ink on Twitter.

1262
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 4: And then once that's sort of over, you know, free agency,

1263
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 4: I guess is probably early December, so I'm sure we'll

1264
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,240
Speaker 4: address that, but I would say around the Christmas season,

1265
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 4: you know, the holiday season, is when we'll we'll go dark,

1266
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 4: so to speak, and maybe we'll take actually a couple

1267
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 4: straight up just weeks off and there will be no

1268
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 4: podcasts populating your no dunk speed. But and then we'll

1269
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 4: get going again whenever the season does be it January

1270
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 4: or February, And we don't really know, which makes this

1271
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 4: a little complicated answer, but you know, the short version

1272
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 4: is we'll have a few podcasts a week for at

1273
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 4: least a little bit, still just not full on like

1274
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 4: we have been.

1275
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 3: Are you telling me there's maybe a window to do

1276
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,919
Speaker 3: a bit more cricket content? Oh my, because cricket season

1277
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 3: is going to be in full swing around that time,

1278
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 3: so you know, maybe we could mix things up a

1279
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,399
Speaker 3: little bit. Learn a new sport, you guys, kick get

1280
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 3: in on it.

1281
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 4: What do you say, Well, we did it with Survivor.

1282
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 4: You and Task learned how to play vivment.

1283
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 3: We started watching it.

1284
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 4: What would we call a cricket podcast like in the

1285
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 4: in the vein of No Buffs, No Dunks is our

1286
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 4: baseball podcast. What would it be for cricket? No balls?

1287
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 3: Because in cricket, In cricket, a no ball is like

1288
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 3: a ball in baseball, where it's like a it's a

1289
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 3: it's an invalid pitch.

1290
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 4: Okay you know what I mean?

1291
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, So no balls.

1292
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 4: But we won't we won't be able to get that

1293
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 4: man's scape money, so that would be tough. So yeah,

1294
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 4: j D do I have that right though? Our schedule

1295
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:54,600

1296
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:56,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, we're going to keep it going until the

1297
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,399

1307
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 4: like in terms of just total numbers. That's how many

1308
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,879

Speaker 4: we get the questions, we'll do a beach step And

1322
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 4: let's put it that way. We got the good questions

1323
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 4: and Lee, we might have a pop in packs that

1324
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,879
Speaker 4: you already did but was so great that we got

1325
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 4: to maybe turn it into a podcast for the listeners

1326
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:05,280
Speaker 4: out there. You talked to Nate Jones and he did

1327
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 4: you open a pack of nineties basketball cards? And he

1328
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 4: knew his stuff? Is what the word on the street is.

1329
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 4: Ariel Hellwani's challenging him. They might get the octagon Hawani

1330
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 4: versus Nate Jones.

1331
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, fight Island.

1332
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 4: I would talken trash on Twitter to each other. So

1333
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 4: I think we gotta make that happen. Yeah yeah, okay,

1334
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 4: So so again, somebody have some bonus popping packs. We'll

Speaker 4: was no NBA, some squads and uh some of the

1338
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,840

1340
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 4: No dunks will still be hitting you with those classics

1341
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 4: every once in a while. Let's take one more quick

1342
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 4: break before it. Lee's Magic Johnson tweet. Okay, let's get

1343
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 4: to tweet of the night.

1344
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 5: Tweet O the night?

1345
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 4: Wow? Well what did he tweet?

1346
00:57:58,760 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 3: What?

1347
00:57:59,000 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 4: Imagic?

1348
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 3: He was great? He was great? And I was going

1349
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 3: to go with the low hanging fruit of just picking

1350
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 3: magic and going on a bit of a tear there,

1351
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 3: but I thought, no, not, Let's do something different. And

1352
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 3: what I have found is, actually this tweet comes from

1353
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 3: follow through La and it's an account that only has

1354
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 3: one tweet actually, but it's from Nathan Nathan Appudaka, who

1355
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 3: shut to fame a week or so ago with his

1356
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 3: viral TikTok video cruising on his longboard like JD, drinking

1357
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 3: some cran Raspberry Ocean Spray while listening to and miming

1358
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 3: Fleetwood Mac's dreams. This time, Nathan is back and he's

1359
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 3: celebrating the Lakers championship again on his longboard, this time

1360
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,960

00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 3: we are the Champions here it is Yeah, so again,

1362
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 3: you know, I think we have JD with his own longboard.

1363
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 3: I think JD has to recreate this somehow. I'm not

1364
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 3: sure what he can do.

1365
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 4: But so the no dungs theme exactly, that's so good,

1366
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 4: big good with a battle of boh. Yeah, he already

Speaker 3: has inspired one hundred and thirty four thousand videos like

1373
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:38,360

1377
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,919
Speaker 3: Yes, well he said, he said his car broke down

1378
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 3: and he had to get to work, so he had

1379
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 3: the long board in the back and he was just like,

1380
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 3: all right, this is what I'm doing, so this story

1381
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 3: yeah yeah, yeah, so just cruic, just glogging away on

1382
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 3: the crayon.

1383
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 4: Rosby, did too?

Speaker 4: Mate?

1386
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think I've ever had the Crawan Raspberry.

1387
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 3: I've had Cranberry, of course, but I don't think of it.

1388
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 3: I don't think I even knew it existed until until

1389
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 3: the introduced it to me. So putting it on the map,

1390
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 3: sales sales went through the roof for that, and UH

1391
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 3: and Fleetwood Mac had their highest streaming like week ever

1392
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 3: after this.

1393
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,600

Speaker 3: Yes, they did.

1395
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 6: So good ocean spray. It was great to see an

1396
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 6: ocean spray bottle back. I thought it disappeared like Beneton

1397
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 6: clothing or so maybe when JD was used to be

1398
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 6: riding his longboard. That's probably the last time ocean spray

1399
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 6: was cool or it was un vogue.

1400
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 5: You know, yeah, I think so. I think you Did

1401

1402
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 5: some ocean spray back in the day. No, I hate

1403
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 5: cranberry juice.

1404
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:58,600

Speaker 5: That's right.

1406
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, that's the only time I've ever

1409
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 8: a little bit of cranberry in it, So it's not

1410
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 8: doing anything for your urinary track.

1411
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,080

1413
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 8: Just chop them down if you want to cure that.

1414
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:29,480
