Speaker 1: Good morning, sweet world, and welcome to the Nodunks Podcast,
Speaker 1: presented by Fan Duel Friday, July thirty first, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: This is the drop. I'm Jay Skeats here in the
Speaker 1: Classic Factory and alongside me, as always Task.
Speaker 2: Millis NBA podcast listeners. This is for you.
Speaker 1: Next to him, it's my top shot hot boy Trey
Speaker 1: Kirby AO and over Yonder making the magic happen. Super
Speaker 1: producer JD. There he is here. We are. Hello to
Speaker 1: everybody on YouTube joining us here in the stream. Team,
Speaker 1: hit the like buttons, subscribe podcast listeners, five star ratings
Speaker 1: and reviews for your boys on today's drop. The NBA's
Speaker 1: Kawhi investigation could drag into twenty twenty seven. Very cool,
Speaker 1: very cool. Uh, Luca has a bunch of sky miles
Speaker 1: he wants to use, and we'll end with some rapid
Speaker 1: fire fun. But first, something different. Today we're drafting Lebron
Speaker 1: James top teammates of all time. Five rounds total is
Speaker 1: how we're going to do this draft, selecting Lebron teammates
Speaker 1: from either Cleveland Cavaliers stint all right, that's three oh
Speaker 1: four rookie Lebron to nine to ten, and then again
Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen to seventeen eighteen when he won the title
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen with the Cass. That's round one. Round
Speaker 1: two his run in South Beach with the Heat twenty
Speaker 1: ten to twenty fourteen. You also have in round three
Speaker 1: his eight year campaign with the Lakers eighteen nineteen, two,
Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty six. Round four will be his upcoming
Speaker 1: Sixers team, so this coming season twenty six, twenty seven.
Speaker 1: And then finally we're going to end this this draft,
Speaker 1: this building Lebron teammate teams by picking a specific Lebron era.
Speaker 1: So Lebron's got to be on a Lebron team here,
Speaker 1: so you'll have to pick which Lebron era from those
Speaker 1: ones I just went through. Important note here, guys, you
Speaker 1: only get the teammate from the time he played with Lebron.
Speaker 1: For example, you would get old ass Calves Shack. Okay,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't get world dominant Laker Shack if you are
Speaker 1: to select him, or you get current Joel Embiid. You
Speaker 1: don't get MVP season Embiid. You know much. That is
Speaker 1: not as glaring difference I think as the old Shack
Speaker 1: to the prime Shack. But you get the point here
Speaker 1: trivia question to decide who goes first between you two guys.
Speaker 1: But we'll take turns as we move through the rounds.
Speaker 1: Up to this point, Lebron has played with two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty different teammates. He's gonna be adding some new
Speaker 1: ones with the Sixers. That's not an NBA record. According
Speaker 1: to Basketball Reference, Jeff Green has had more teammates than
Speaker 1: any player in NBA history. What's the number. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you the first crack here the trail members. How
Speaker 1: many teammates has Jeff Green had up to this point?
Speaker 1: And then task can go over or under, So you're
Speaker 1: gonna set the line. Okay, Jeff Green was oh seven draft?
Speaker 2: Is that right? Yeah? Seattle Sonics draft.
Speaker 3: D That's that's amazing to actually have done something more
Speaker 3: than Lebron, having started your career after Lebron.
Speaker 1: That's pretty incredible, kind of cool, very surprising.
Speaker 4: It can't be many more.
Speaker 3: I'll go to sixty nine.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I had I had to, all right, Task,
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty nine is Trey's.
Speaker 4: Prediction brons.
Speaker 2: Space, I'll go over over that's correct.
Speaker 1: Two hundred and seventy four is where Jeff Green's currently at.
Speaker 2: That was a good, good pick by tying nice super close.
Speaker 1: All done, So task, you're gonna have the first pick.
Speaker 1: Then we'll go Tray, then we'll go me as we
Speaker 1: make our way to the different rounds. Yes, the first
Speaker 1: pick in either Cavalier stint. So where are you going?
Speaker 2: No one on earth is picking a teammate from the
Speaker 2: first stint of clan?
Speaker 4: Are you sure?
Speaker 1: I might be forced to having the third pick here,
Speaker 1: but we'll get to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nah, you still don't have well you could, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that is an option. Yep, it's easy. It's Kyrie Irving. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's simple. It's pretty simple here. Kyrie could be the
Speaker 2: most notorious shot maker in Cleveland history with the finals
Speaker 2: shot against Golden State the best shot in Cleveland history,
Speaker 2: potentially Lebron or not, it could be that way. Yea, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah, over Steph in game seven there,
Speaker 2: he was incredible in that finals. I mean, we'll get
Speaker 2: more into that finals and what happened there, But yeah,
Speaker 2: the way they turned it on in game five, six, seven, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's Kyrie. It's Kyrie and and yeah, maybe it didn't
Speaker 2: end all that well with Lebron James. Maybe it's a
Speaker 2: little envious of Lebron getting all the accolades, getting the prestige,
Speaker 2: getting everybody on that plane that he wanted. Well, Kyrie couldn't.
Speaker 2: But still, yeah, it's easy. I got Kyrie, no problem.
Speaker 2: That was a good one.
Speaker 1: His first pick in round one. Okay, so Carrie's off
Speaker 1: the board. Feels like there's an obvious second pick, But
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 3: I'll take the other guy that made All Star teams
Speaker 3: with Lebron playing in Cleveland. I mean, I guess there
Speaker 3: are a few bore I'm not going no Williams, Come on,
Speaker 3: I ain't going my list. I might have to give
Speaker 3: me Kevin Love though. Yeah, it was pretty solid playing
Speaker 3: with Lebron. Made two All Star teams seventeen and ten,
Speaker 3: thirty seven percent from three.
Speaker 4: Is he the number one big guy I would want
Speaker 4: in the Lebron James draft.
Speaker 2: Probably not.
Speaker 4: We'll see what happens. I'm happy with Kevin Love.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, are you basing this on it? You're basing
Speaker 2: your five guys on a team that can perform, or
Speaker 2: are you're just getting the best bigs.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be trying to build a roster like I
Speaker 1: don't want four bigs on my Super Lebron team here,
Speaker 1: so I think it comes into play sure, Like, I
Speaker 1: can't imagine you're gonna want all point guards from here
Speaker 1: on out or Garden.
Speaker 2: That's one of the best guys here, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 4: I mean Lebron jump center in an All Star game.
Speaker 1: True, well, you can play any position, all right. So yeah,
Speaker 1: this was an issue here. When we were deciding to
Speaker 1: do this, I knew I was gonna have the third
Speaker 1: pick at least in the first round, and I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: one of them is gonna take Kyrie, the other's gonna
Speaker 1: take Kevin Love, and then I'm gonna be like, who
Speaker 1: the hell am I gonna take from either of Lebron's
Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavalier stint. Here are some names to consider. JR.
Speaker 1: Smith sure uh past his prime, Shack as we talked about,
Speaker 1: Drenas Elgauskiz was solid, Tristan Thompson, Learry Hughes like, it's
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the fall off here from Kyrie
Speaker 1: and Ketl Love. So you said his name already, tright.
Speaker 1: I'm taking Williams specifically, specifically eighth nine All Star Williams.
Speaker 1: That's the one awesome. Here, there's a very good Williams here.
Speaker 1: He averaged eighteen points per game he shot. This is
Speaker 1: very important for the building of my team. Williams shot
Speaker 1: forty four percent from deep that season with five three
Speaker 1: point attempts per game. So you know, back then that
Speaker 1: was a decent number. Today that you know, we would
Speaker 1: laugh and roll our eyes at that. But mo Williams
Speaker 1: helped Lebron and the Cavs win sixty six games that season,
Speaker 1: and they steam rolled through the first two playoff series.
Speaker 1: They didn't lose a game, and then they lost to
Speaker 1: the Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals. They lost in six.
Speaker 1: But I checked it wasn't Williams's fault. He was okay,
Speaker 1: he got his numbers. Now, I will say he was
Speaker 1: probably he would like, look, it was Lebron on one side,
Speaker 1: it was Dwight on the other side for the Atlanto Magic,
Speaker 1: and then it was like Williams did get out played
Speaker 1: over all by Rashard Lewis of all guys who had
Speaker 1: a really good series. So yeah, that's just wanted to
Speaker 1: bring that up going back. Good good, you know history
Speaker 1: there for you. But I'll take Williams. I'm not happy
Speaker 1: about it. But well, who was I to take.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that you'd be picking third for sure,
Speaker 2: So I did my homework. I would take Anderson vershev
Speaker 2: didn't even mention him. I'm taking. I am taking that.
Speaker 2: He is the one guy of all these guys that
Speaker 2: we mentioned still living in the Cleveland area. He was
Speaker 2: interviewed by interviewed by Joe Keim Noah earlier than season. Yeah,
Speaker 2: earlier this year. Joe Kim Noah, you know, kind of
Speaker 2: went back and apologized for what he said about Cleveland
Speaker 2: back when he was a player. Went to Andy's house.
Speaker 2: That guy played literally twelve years as a calf. A
Speaker 2: great story in that in his twelfth year he gets
Speaker 2: traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Golden State Warriors,
Speaker 2: and that's the year Cleveland goes and beats Golden State
Speaker 2: in the finals. Pretty funny. But he was their garbage man.
Speaker 2: Do we still have the garbage man poster of meat? No,
Speaker 2: we took that down. Yeah, he was their garbage man.
Speaker 2: There's no doubt he didn't get he didn't get buckets. No.
Speaker 1: No, I'm taking Williams though, because I'm projecting ahead here
Speaker 1: for these other franchises. And other picks I'll have. There's
Speaker 1: like a lot more bigs, so I'm like, I feel
Speaker 1: like there's fewer actually super talented guards that are going
Speaker 1: to be available, So I'm taking a point guard.
Speaker 2: Interesting.
Speaker 1: You know, Brodn won a lot of championships with like
Speaker 1: sort of subpar point guards, like you know, Mario Chalmers
Speaker 1: comes to my and stuff like that. You know, a
Speaker 1: lot of lights out. Sure, Kyrie's obviously an anomaly. All right.
Speaker 1: Round two, So Miami Heat and Trey the first pick?
Speaker 4: Oh good, I love it. In the first pick here,
Speaker 4: I'm going Dwayne Wade.
Speaker 1: That was an easy one, tough one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, you can go Chris Bosh here. If we're
Speaker 3: talking about bigs. Actually, don't think there's a lot of
Speaker 3: good bigs that Lebron has played.
Speaker 4: For what I was played with.
Speaker 2: It's like three really good ones and then a fourth
Speaker 2: other ad coming up a d A good.
Speaker 4: Three yeah, three?
Speaker 1: Well, how many do you need on your team one?
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: It would be good to get Chris Bosh right now.
Speaker 3: I already got Kevin Love though, so gimme Dwayne Wade.
Speaker 3: He's one of my five favorite players of all time.
Speaker 3: He was awesome alongside Lebron as well. The funny thing
Speaker 3: is this isn't totally peak dayn Wade. Peak Dwayne Wade
Speaker 3: was this season right before Lebron got to Miami, but
Speaker 3: he still played awesome next to Lebron. Kind of petered
Speaker 3: out at the end of his career, and taking him
Speaker 3: as a heat means I don't have to deal with
Speaker 3: the old washed Dwayne Wade who played with Lebron.
Speaker 4: On the Cavs.
Speaker 1: Right right, I'm taking the heat. I'm making that very clear. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I know you had a I don't know which one
Speaker 1: of you posted it yesterday, but you were like on
Speaker 1: our socials, I guess the idea of who was the
Speaker 1: better these would be third options for Lebron teammates, between
Speaker 1: Kevin Love and Chris Bosh. It's a fun it's a
Speaker 1: fun debate. I I I had leaned towards one particular guy,
Speaker 1: but as you know, there was some discussion going on
Speaker 1: and then a lot of people saying, what about Anthony Davis,
Speaker 1: But like he was the second option, So it is
Speaker 1: a little different that way.
Speaker 3: I mean, I was just comparing the big men. Bosh,
Speaker 3: Love and A D eighty is clearly the best of
Speaker 3: the three of them, and then Bosh for me is
Speaker 3: the second best. Yeah, but I got Kevin love you,
Speaker 3: Kevin love Well.
Speaker 1: That means I would take Chris Bosh, Yes, because like
Speaker 1: the Calves there in the couple stints with Lebron there,
Speaker 1: this one is definitely two big names and you took Way,
Speaker 1: So I'll take Chris Bosh. So I'll get my first
Speaker 1: big here to pair with Mo Williams. There you go,
Speaker 1: just solid locker room guys. I think here too, and
Speaker 1: Williams and Chris Bosh. I'll have to decide where I'm
Speaker 1: gonna slot Chris Bosh, but for now we'll put him
Speaker 1: at power forward right now. That can move him around,
Speaker 1: all right? So yeah, this is interesting here Where do
Speaker 1: you go?
Speaker 2: Now? This was this was fun. It's a fun four years.
Speaker 2: I mean it's easy for me. Actually it's Eudonna's Haslam.
Speaker 2: That's the third guy with the Miami heat.
Speaker 1: Okay to play I wish.
Speaker 4: Interesting?
Speaker 2: Who are you taking other than Bush?
Speaker 3: I would have taken Shane Battier, maybe Ray Allen, Yeah,
Speaker 3: y all, definitely definitely not Hasling. He didn't even make
Speaker 3: my long list.
Speaker 2: He is damn captain on the team. He was the
Speaker 2: guy calling things out on Jersey. He was the guy
Speaker 2: calling things out on the defensive end. That's who made
Speaker 2: things happen on the defensive end. Do you see him
Speaker 2: in those Amazon Prime breakdowns when he's calling things out
Speaker 2: on the defensive end. That guy is a defensive leader.
Speaker 2: That's how they won because of this guy who started
Speaker 2: every single game as the fifth guy. Yeah, it'd be
Speaker 2: easy to take Ray, you know, for the one shot,
Speaker 2: but Ray Ray, but it was.
Speaker 1: At the end of his career, so I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a no brainer. I mean, I would probably take
Speaker 1: him over. But yeah, but it's not like Ray was
Speaker 1: like twenty five point per team score. Ray by any means,
Speaker 1: he had big shots, but he was at the end
Speaker 1: of he was like thirty seven to thirty eight.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, he's this guy. He's my guy. You Donnas
Speaker 2: is the guy. He was the locker room leader. Sure,
Speaker 2: you know you got your seventeen rebound performances in a
Speaker 2: game four of an Eastern Conference Finals, You get your
Speaker 2: sixteen points on eight of nine shooting in a finals
Speaker 2: or Eastern Conference Finals game, I should say again, Yeah,
Speaker 2: all time rebounder leader of the Miami Heat. That'll be
Speaker 2: gone soon. Sorry, man, you're taking that one? Oh yeah
Speaker 2: it was. It was a tough one, but I went
Speaker 2: with the heart. I mean, I thought about you, Donna's
Speaker 2: has them. I might have even even sneaked in an
Speaker 2: Eric Spolstra and just.
Speaker 4: A great pack.
Speaker 2: But what you do is my guy?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, round three, we are too Hollywood here. It's
Speaker 1: the Lakers. So I already have Mo Williams, I have
Speaker 1: Chris Bosh. I know I have a Lebron coming on
Speaker 1: my Lebron so he's probably playing the three. So do
Speaker 1: I go ady? Do I focus on defense? Or do
Speaker 1: I go with the offense of Luka Doncic because that's
Speaker 1: the two guys that I got my eyes on. Hmm
Speaker 1: hm hmmmm. I'm gonna go just looking ahead here, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Luka Doncic. A little surprising, I'm sure
Speaker 1: why why? Oh you're saying it's a no brainer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the only other said why though Ad was
Speaker 1: a monster.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Luca is an MVP candidate. Lebron never played
Speaker 3: with an MVP candidate outside of Luca.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The fact Luca would have been Wade was not an
Speaker 3: MP candidate. When he played with Ron, Luca should have
Speaker 3: been the first pick overall, if you if you took away,
Speaker 3: if you're what every player Lebron is played with, Luca
Speaker 3: is in his prime right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean Wade, I think it overlooked like
Speaker 2: he was twenty five, six and six essentially and five Luca.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Lucas he played like thirty ten and ten almost.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I missed the playoffs. I mean, does that factor in?
Speaker 2: He played one and a half seasons with Lebron James,
Speaker 2: that's it, and then he played in one playoffs with him,
Speaker 2: That's it. So I wonder if that factors into To me,
Speaker 2: it does just as far as I want to zoom
Speaker 2: out to the picture and think who are the best
Speaker 2: players that Lebron played with, as far as like taking
Speaker 2: the floor being a player in playoff games, Lucas just
Speaker 2: limited because of that.
Speaker 4: I mean, Dwayne Wade kind of invented load.
Speaker 3: Management, okay, but they he was he was out all
Speaker 3: the time, and like I said, I love the guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to me, he would have been the second pick
Speaker 4: overall if we're listing guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they went to four finals together and so.
Speaker 4: Yeah, their team was stacked.
Speaker 2: Bro was it? We couldn't even pick the third best player.
Speaker 2: They're already Shane Battier, Mike Joel, Anthony.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they had the top three was the big three?
Speaker 2: Yeahnas? Yeah, I love Donnas win titles of has.
Speaker 4: Them going out and getting them five and three a night.
Speaker 4: It didn't matter.
Speaker 1: Well, you're about very team, you're gonna obviously get ad Yeah.
Speaker 2: The factor yeah with with Luca, the guy didn't play
Speaker 2: one playoffs. So I mean, even if Dwayne said I'm
Speaker 2: managing my load, at least he played in the postseason.
Speaker 2: You know that's that's a factor to me.
Speaker 1: But either way, well, look, Williams is my point guard.
Speaker 1: I could use the you know, the offensive firepower of
Speaker 1: Luca Donchic, So I'll slot him in as my shooting guard,
Speaker 1: I guess right now, interchange with Williams and Luca in
Speaker 1: the back court. Okay, so you you have the next
Speaker 1: pick here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Anthony Davis, Yeah, easily. He's a pretty good basketball player.
Speaker 2: He was their defensive anchor that got him there. Uh
Speaker 2: and uh yeah, he was the MVP through two games
Speaker 2: of those twenty twenty NBA Finals if you remember. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: he was cooking through those first two games and things
Speaker 2: went different, But yeah, it was a great run, great
Speaker 2: run with Anthony Davis.
Speaker 1: Andy Bailey at bleacher Report did recently, I guess a
Speaker 1: we could go ranked Lebron's top ten teammates of all time.
Speaker 1: And I just bring this up because I don't know
Speaker 1: if this was some sort of like little clickbait here
Speaker 1: type of move, but he had Anthony Davis as number
Speaker 1: one over Wade over like we're saying Luca and Kyrie
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. I mean, and he was good.
Speaker 1: Eighty was awesome. Now you're especially the here they win
Speaker 1: in the bubble. But it was a little eye opening
Speaker 1: to me, like you're saying, Trady, you would have some
Speaker 1: of the guards ahead of them if you're lining them
Speaker 1: all up and you're not picking between the franchises.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you have, But I do think at worst
Speaker 3: Ad is probably third sure on the list, sure, and
Speaker 3: the best defender that Lebron has ever played with, or
Speaker 3: at least the best two way player I think Lebron's
Speaker 3: ever played with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, you have the last pick here and
Speaker 1: I did Lakerland. Yeah, talk talks about.
Speaker 3: Here, don't a white guy that plays defense Alex Caruso
Speaker 3: or a white guy that plays offense.
Speaker 4: Austin Reeves.
Speaker 1: Wow, you know what I want offense?
Speaker 4: Yeah, gimme Reeves. I'm not thrilled.
Speaker 3: I'm not thrilled nobody else. Reeves and Dwayne Wade in
Speaker 3: the backcourt with Lebron. Okay, that's sounding better.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like the guys that it factors into me
Speaker 2: if you got to the finals, and KCP should factor
Speaker 2: into me leading the team in three pointers in that bubbles.
Speaker 1: Man, you have a type. Oh yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Champ, Yeah, I guess. Yeah, that's why over Austin
Speaker 2: Reeves didn't do anything in the playoffs. You know, he
Speaker 2: him for one playoff years against Memphis Grizzlies. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I like guys who win.
Speaker 1: Any other names from the long stint that he have.
Speaker 3: Okay, so wing is kind of clearly the weakest position
Speaker 3: here for Lebron teammates because on every team that Lebron
Speaker 3: has been on, he's the superstar wing. Of course, so
Speaker 3: I thought Ruey Hacha Mura is a guy who could
Speaker 3: potentially have gotten drafted.
Speaker 4: As a as a wing. He was the last guy
Speaker 4: that made my list.
Speaker 1: All right, we are two Round four of the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: seventy six ers, and it's back to you with the
Speaker 1: number one pick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was fun.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're looking ahead here projecting this.
Speaker 2: Is fun getting the number one pick. Debating between Tyras
Speaker 2: max and Jayleen Brown.
Speaker 1: Essentially you already have Kyrie on your team too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, huh, I'm I'm going I'm going small. I'm taking
Speaker 2: Tyras Maxey all over Jalen Brown. I think that connection
Speaker 2: between him and Lebron will be real from the get go.
Speaker 2: They're going to play so well together. I think Tyris
Speaker 2: Maxie will get the most assists from Lebron James this
Speaker 2: coming season. He's going to lead the team in assists,
Speaker 2: which is kind of rare for Lebron usually assists big guys.
Speaker 2: Here's here's a question. Who has Lebron assisted the most
Speaker 2: in his NBA career?
Speaker 3: The single player he assisted the most, correct, Anthony Davis.
Speaker 2: Davis is number two, which is surprising because the number one.
Speaker 1: Not nearly as good as players.
Speaker 2: No cloy because they played eight seasons together, seven in Cleveland,
Speaker 2: then he brought him over for one in Miami to
Speaker 2: start in ten to eleven to get him to the playoffs,
Speaker 2: but eighty is only five and a half seasons that
Speaker 2: they played together.
Speaker 3: Still a lot of seasons played with Lebron. Yeah, because
Speaker 3: he's usually four and out except for in La. But
Speaker 3: I think Elgauskas is the guy he's played the most
Speaker 3: games with.
Speaker 4: Probably not mistaken.
Speaker 3: Elgauskas than Veris are the top two because he was
Speaker 3: in Cleveland so long.
Speaker 2: The first time around, Bigs was eight hundred and eighty
Speaker 2: seven assists, Anthony Davis seven hundred and twenty seven assists.
Speaker 2: Then it's another big and then another big Love and
Speaker 2: CB and Chris Bosh and then it goes down to Wade.
Speaker 2: So MAXI will be a little surprising that he will
Speaker 2: get the most assist but I think the connection will
Speaker 2: be there. And I mentioned Dwayne Wade right now. I
Speaker 2: think the play will be very similar. There'll be a
Speaker 2: lot of drop offs MAXI coming downhill like Wade did
Speaker 2: when they were clicking. So Max, he's my.
Speaker 1: Guy, Okay, MAXI off the board. Who's your pick for
Speaker 1: the six ers?
Speaker 4: Jayleen Brown?
Speaker 3: Yep, I think he's the best wing that Lebron will
Speaker 3: be a teammate of, at least so far into his career.
Speaker 3: I guess I mean Wade is Wade was a guard,
Speaker 3: but he played legal wings. So Jalen Brown is the
Speaker 3: guy for me. I'm happy to get another forward out there.
Speaker 3: So now maybe I can put Lebron at the four.
Speaker 3: Guess he's gonna have to play four for me. With
Speaker 3: Kevin Love playing the five, we're small, but we're all right.
Speaker 1: Well, that leaves Joel Embiid for me, which I'll happily take.
Speaker 1: I have obviously an opening at the center position. I'll
Speaker 1: put Bosh at four. Yeah, I can't believe you have
Speaker 1: to do this with hypothetical teams, but hey, if he's healthy,
Speaker 1: I got a great squad. One of the most dominant
Speaker 1: offensive players in NBA history when he's healthy. Unfortunately he's
Speaker 1: injured half the time. But beat's like fourth old time
Speaker 1: and career points per game, like on the leaderboards, like
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. So Embiid in Boscher my front line here,
Speaker 1: so I'm pretty happy with that. In projecting, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'll probably get Embid. I'm gonna land with Embid. You
Speaker 1: guys will take Maxim Brown, why wouldn't you? And that'll
Speaker 1: leave a center for me. So it was played a
Speaker 1: part of me taking Luca over eighty. All right, well
Speaker 1: the fifth one here at fifth round is straight up Lebron,
Speaker 1: straight up. So pick your Lebron era, and Trey you
Speaker 1: got the first pick here.
Speaker 4: Overall Miami Lebron.
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty seven, seven and a half rebounds, seven assists,
Speaker 3: fifty four percent from the field, thirty seven from three.
Speaker 3: He was like trying to win Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 3: He was trying to set efficiency records. He was just
Speaker 3: doing bits basically throughout this season, like it's crazy. You
Speaker 3: see people will be like Lebron will throw down a
Speaker 3: dunk and during the twenty six twenty seven season be like, wow,
Speaker 3: he hasn't lost the step. And then you'll watch highlights
Speaker 3: of Lebron from twenty twelve and the dude looks like
Speaker 3: an absolute freak. There's never been a guy like him
Speaker 3: on the court. Actually, during the Miami era, he was.
Speaker 3: He seemed like the biggest fastest guy that's ever been invented.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't deny that. We were there, we were
Speaker 1: watching it, we were podcasting about it. It was pretty impressive.
Speaker 1: It's amazing he's still playing at a very high level.
Speaker 1: Of course, as he gets closer to what's he turning
Speaker 1: I can remember forty two. Is he almost Okay? So
Speaker 1: you took heat Lebron Yeah? Yeah, do you have a
Speaker 1: would you have taken heat lebron Field? I'm one pick.
Speaker 2: I think I would take second run of Cleveland? Okay, Well,
Speaker 2: just the storyline is a little bit better. And people
Speaker 2: were wondering, literally wondering when they were down three to
Speaker 2: one against Golden State? Is he done? Is that? Is
Speaker 2: that run from his Miami run? Is he too old?
Speaker 2: Now here in twenty sixteen when he was I guess
Speaker 2: how old whatever he was in the early thirties.
Speaker 1: Well, one thing I didn't clarify. I guess with this
Speaker 1: particular round, if I take second, like, do I get both?
Speaker 1: You know, in theory both Cavaliers stints for Lebron or
Speaker 1: is like, if I take second stint Calves Lebron, you
Speaker 1: could take first in like we didn't.
Speaker 2: Why would I take that?
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a two time MVP. Before he went
Speaker 1: to the Heat, he was awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was awesome. There's the reason he left. I'm
Speaker 2: done here, Yeah, William.
Speaker 1: He was awesome. Of course. Yes. Didn't he win too
Speaker 1: before he went? Yeah?
Speaker 2: He won to more right, Yeah, Sasha Pavlovitch almost won one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he didn't have anybody.
Speaker 1: I will take the I guess older and wiser Lebron
Speaker 1: I'll take. I'm taking Cavaliers Lebron as my era Lebron
Speaker 1: if it's second stint and second stint. But if I
Speaker 1: get the first stint too, sure, I'll take a couple
Speaker 1: of MVPs and the young, super athletic Lebron. So that
Speaker 1: is my small forward obviously there Lebron Calves happy with
Speaker 1: it all right.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you get the storyline. I've come back from
Speaker 2: three to one. Nobody else has done it. I'll take
Speaker 2: the Lakers.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: I get to live in Orlando for three months during
Speaker 2: the bubble sounds awesome. Don't go anywhere fishing, just food deliverab.
Speaker 2: I haven't read Ben Gulliver's Bubble book either way, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Laker Lebron.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's go through our teams here. If you
Speaker 1: guys were sort of taking note of your actual starting five, uh,
Speaker 1: Lebron teammate squad, have a go.
Speaker 2: Kyrie and Maxie are my back court. If that's how
Speaker 2: we're doing it, Laker Lebron, it's playing the three because
Speaker 2: I got a big front court. I got big, heartful
Speaker 2: with you, Donnis Haslam and Anthony Davis.
Speaker 1: All right, yeah you got you got wow, you got
Speaker 1: a dynamic backcourt and then this defensive minded front court
Speaker 1: for sure with Lakers Lebron. All right, t K your team.
Speaker 3: My guards are Dwayne Wade and Austin Reeves. He was
Speaker 3: the point guard, I mean Lebron's Lebron. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 3: they're both playing off the ball. My three man is
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown heat Lebron is going to be my four,
Speaker 3: and Kevin Love I suppose is my five man. Okay, okay,
Speaker 3: I got mostly fours, but who cares?
Speaker 1: That's right? And my Lebron team looks like this. My
Speaker 1: point guard Mo Williams, baby All Star mow Williams. Put
Speaker 1: some respect on his name. Luka, Doncic is there too? Again,
Speaker 1: you could interchange the two point guard and shooting guard.
Speaker 1: I have Calves Lebron, very happy that I got him,
Speaker 1: Chris Bosh and Joel Embiid. So look, I do have
Speaker 1: some some health scares here in the front court, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: between two guys, but awesome dominant defensive guys and offensively
Speaker 1: so Mo Williams, Luca Calves Lebron like a bosh and
Speaker 1: trust the process. Joel embiid, All right, let's hear from
Speaker 1: the people out there. Who did we leave on the
Speaker 1: board first off, and who drafted, in your opinion, the
Speaker 1: best Lebron teammates squad of the three of us. That
Speaker 1: was a fun thought exercise. Donnas Haslam made a team?
Speaker 2: Yep uh, because I got this from Lakers Reddit and
Speaker 2: I did my research to examine the top ten players
Speaker 2: Lebron has assisted. Just because you mentioned Edonnis Haslm just
Speaker 2: now six through ten surprising names.
Speaker 1: So Haslm is one of those.
Speaker 2: No, oh no, oh, no, he didn't score.
Speaker 1: Oh right, yeah, it's a part of the equation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he only played four years together. Also, he
Speaker 2: wasn't a score. Anderson Verja was number six, j R.
Speaker 2: Smith seven, Drew Gooden, okay, Austin Reeves is now number nine,
Speaker 2: and Mario Chalmers is numbers yeah yeah, no superintendents, no raise,
Speaker 2: No Battier's no raise, No.
Speaker 4: Battier's all right, Lebron.
Speaker 3: Like you said, he's played with two hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: teammates since the two thousand and three zero four season.
Speaker 3: Lebron's rookie year, twenty three hundred and eighty five players
Speaker 3: have played in the NBA, which means ten percent of
Speaker 3: the NBA in that time has been a Lebron James teammate.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's pretty crazy. I was looking at this.
Speaker 3: I was like, we could do a whole nother draft
Speaker 3: with like funny categories. Yeah, yeah, like, uh, pick a
Speaker 3: washed veteran Shack Russell Westbrook, Sean Merrian, yeah, wash, Dwayne Wade,
Speaker 3: Darren Williams, Carmelo Anthony, like, come on down. He played
Speaker 3: a lot of guys on to play with Lebron. You
Speaker 3: can do random shooters, Kyle Korver kind of thought you
Speaker 3: might get drafted. However, Mike, Mike Miller, Mike Miller, James Jones,
Speaker 3: like guys, Janiel Marshall, yep about uh, guys, you forgot
Speaker 3: played with Lebron.
Speaker 1: Okay, give me some Wes Matthews test. Do you remember
Speaker 1: that you're number one? Jesus Laker?
Speaker 3: No, No, Marc Gasol, Marc Gasol and they like Bibby
Speaker 3: was on the heat.
Speaker 1: I forgot about that one.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't forget that.
Speaker 3: Lance Stevenson, I guess the kicker after in his ear. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Lance Stevenson and Michael Beasley.
Speaker 4: People like, yeah, that'll work. This is good. He's been
Speaker 4: on a lot of teammates.
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe we'll do it. It's a long summer and
Speaker 1: we got a lot of we'll run a back.
Speaker 2: That's that common quiz question that links Lebron back to Shack?
Speaker 2: Is it back to mj Like, guys that you just
Speaker 2: brought up to the number of teammates.
Speaker 3: It was like like the last thirty champions had played. Well,
Speaker 3: there's like a teammate of Lebron Shack or Jordan or
Speaker 3: something like.
Speaker 2: Exactly. Yes, it's incredible.
Speaker 1: All right, let us know if you enjoyed that, and
Speaker 1: should we do Like Tray said, another one of those
Speaker 1: Lebron teammate drafts with different categories in different rounds, stuff
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: Let us know.
Speaker 1: Okay, is this news, Let's do it. You know it's
Speaker 1: the end of July. I don't get a lot here
Speaker 1: for you, guys. I got some headlines. We can talk
Speaker 1: them out.
Speaker 2: I'm on that thing you said to start the show.
Speaker 2: There could be some implication.
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's that's second here. I wanted to just
Speaker 1: stick with the Lebron theme of everything on today's show,
Speaker 1: We'll start with the Philadelphia Inquirer, and I'm tweaking the
Speaker 1: headline a little bit, but the point is Rich Paul,
Speaker 1: his agent, floats Lebron playing four more seasons after energizing
Speaker 1: seventy six ers decision. So after he decides to go
Speaker 1: to Philly, and Rich Paul is suddenly saying, oh, you know, not,
Speaker 1: maybe two, maybe four more left in this guy? Is
Speaker 1: this news?
Speaker 2: I think there's a good chance that Lebron James plays
Speaker 2: for more seasons for several reasons. First, I think he
Speaker 2: wants to put the biggest gap between him and Kareem
Speaker 2: a top the all time NBA scoring list.
Speaker 1: Second, in case Kareem's coming back, I got number one.
Speaker 2: Second reason, I think he's going to like playing with
Speaker 2: Tyrese Maxi and Jalen Brown. Tyre's Maxi calls him his
Speaker 2: big bro. I think everybody kind of undervalues what Jalen
Speaker 2: Brown was for the Boston Celtics his whole frigging career,
Speaker 2: and that they will connect. And that ties into a
Speaker 2: third reason why Rich Paul essentially said that Lebron could
Speaker 2: play four seasons. He's gonna feel more energized, and that's
Speaker 2: part of it just he's gonna like playing with these guys.
Speaker 2: If he's not energized, it's gonna be Michael Jordan from
Speaker 2: the Wizards two years see you later. But I do
Speaker 2: think those guys are going to take up so many
Speaker 2: minutes from him, get him to the playoffs where he
Speaker 2: is going to be revitalized and play some basketball in
Speaker 2: a different way than he has with the Lakers. So
Speaker 2: I think there is a legitimate chance you're downplaying that number.
Speaker 2: I think it's just it's a different error. Lebron's body
Speaker 2: can do it if he wants to.
Speaker 1: Well, this is the thing that we don't talk about,
Speaker 1: and I get why because he seems invincible, But like,
Speaker 1: isn't it more likely Lebron has a drastic injury to
Speaker 1: unfortunately end his basketball career, Like I mean at a
Speaker 1: certain point, I mean, I hate to say it, I
Speaker 1: hate to even talk it into the world, but like,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it is.
Speaker 2: Well, now you've got two guys who are dominating the
Speaker 2: ball out of the time. You don't have to do
Speaker 2: as much with Maxi and Thing.
Speaker 1: It's it's these are fluke as your body ages and ages,
Speaker 1: and I know he puts more time and effort and
Speaker 1: money into his keeping his body at an elite level,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't have to play.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, it's gonna be far jumping for
Speaker 2: me to like, he's not gonna jumps. Let's count as
Speaker 2: jumps per a game. He's just not going to have
Speaker 2: to give it as much. I don't think playing with
Speaker 2: those other guys, well, he liked playing in Philadelphia. I
Speaker 2: think that's the biggest question as to how many more
Speaker 2: seasons he plays. I don't know. The locker room may
Speaker 2: not be ideal with Maxie Brown end and beat is
Speaker 2: a big.
Speaker 1: Factor, big personalities for sure.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Nick can lure all those together.
Speaker 2: Nick Nurse can make all those things happen. That's a
Speaker 2: fair question, but I think he can do it.
Speaker 1: Okay, what'd you think of Rich Paul floating this idea
Speaker 1: four more seasons? I mean it news.
Speaker 3: It sounds crazy to think of a guy playing when
Speaker 3: he's forty five years old, but like Lebron's not even
Speaker 3: close to the Vince Carter stage of his career. Vince
Speaker 3: Carter at the end of his career was a bench
Speaker 3: guy who was good for vibes and would make a
Speaker 3: shot here and there. If Lebron wanted to like recede
Speaker 3: into the background and just continue to be a part
Speaker 3: of a team which apparently he loves, he could probably
Speaker 3: play like ten more seasons if he really wanted to.
Speaker 3: But my main takeaway from this was that this guy
Speaker 3: must have really hated the Lakers, because when he announced
Speaker 3: his decision, he's like, I was ready to retire as
Speaker 3: soon as the season was over, and now just by
Speaker 3: choosing the seventy six ers, he's like four more years.
Speaker 4: That's how happy he was to get out.
Speaker 1: Of La Guess. So, so Lebron entering his twenty fourth
Speaker 1: NBA season. He's going to turn forty two on December thirtieth.
Speaker 1: He will be the oldest active player in the NBA
Speaker 1: next season, but he's far from the oldest ever, which
Speaker 1: is sort of mind boggling. Lebron will begin the season
Speaker 1: as the ninth oldest player in NBA history if he
Speaker 1: completes his two season deal, so just two years, he
Speaker 1: would retire as the fourth oldest player in NBA history.
Speaker 1: So there are still guys that somehow stuck around now
Speaker 1: they're not like Lebron, Like, oh, is he still top
Speaker 1: twenty five? Top twenty. Is he still all NBA? Like
Speaker 1: we actually still have these debates and fair these other
Speaker 1: guys were talking about it's like Robert Parrish was a
Speaker 1: grandfather in the NBA. Could lebron become the second grandpa?
Speaker 1: I don't know Bronnie James. I don't know his relationships
Speaker 1: right now. And if the kids on the way or
Speaker 1: he's thinking about that early in his life, it's possible.
Speaker 1: But it's possible. Yeah, very possible.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was trying to think. Wasn't Bronnie engaged recently?
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm conflating bronze, but yeah, it is. But if
Speaker 2: he plays all four seasons, he wouldn't be the oldest
Speaker 2: NBA player ever. No, No, he still wouldn't. Because there
Speaker 2: was like Nothickey or something.
Speaker 1: Guy just loved the game.
Speaker 2: It was in like the fifties or sixties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's way back.
Speaker 2: Oh imagine he's sitting on the sideline and he gets
Speaker 2: somebody to give him a hickey the day he passes
Speaker 2: Nat Hickey. That would be weird.
Speaker 1: I agree, that would be.
Speaker 2: He could be a grandpa.
Speaker 3: Are you saying to me it's confirmed that Robert Parrish
Speaker 3: is the only I think grandpa I.
Speaker 1: Do think so interesting. Somebody to fact check me on that,
Speaker 1: but I know he was.
Speaker 2: That's what the Inquirer says.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, no, no.
Speaker 2: Philadelphia inquire not the National inquire right right.
Speaker 3: Robert Parrish, he's the grandfather to an alien telling ye oh,
Speaker 3: but a part of.
Speaker 1: All this, Lebron, how many more years are gonna play?
Speaker 1: How old can he play? I do think you know,
Speaker 1: we were talking about Brownie James and joking about whether
Speaker 1: he's going to have a kid, So grandpa Lebron would
Speaker 1: be in the league. But what about Bryce James and
Speaker 1: all of this? Right, what's he nineteen years old? He's
Speaker 1: at Arizona now, he was a red shirted for his
Speaker 1: entire freshman season there, so he never played in the game.
Speaker 1: But like, I bring that up because like that seems
Speaker 1: now to me like a no brainer of like another
Speaker 1: thing Lebron wants to like check off the list. Wait
Speaker 1: wait for did it with Bronni? I don't know if bright,
Speaker 1: Like I don't know how good Bryce is if he's
Speaker 1: on Arizona and he's not, he won't even make like.
Speaker 4: He didn't play, he didn't play at all last year.
Speaker 1: Well, he's read because he wasn't good enough. Oh yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so but yeah, well Lebron could pull a few strikes
Speaker 1: to get him into.
Speaker 3: At least Bronni was a prospect. Yeah, okay, yeah, Look,
Speaker 3: Lebron could pull strings.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And if you're we're talking these twenty five seasons in
Speaker 3: and maybe he goes back to Cleveland, like yeah, we're
Speaker 3: running out all three James.
Speaker 4: Yeah together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's possible, even if he's not up
Speaker 1: to the level of an NBA players, it's definitely possible.
Speaker 2: It's definitely.
Speaker 1: I know he's got the goggles. That's cool. He does
Speaker 1: have the goggle goggles. H what else? What else?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: I got a related headline here for you guys.
Speaker 3: I read that ESPN article Dave McManamon did about Lebron
Speaker 3: choosing the seventy six ers. Is where this Rich Paul
Speaker 3: stuff comes from. In there, it says that Rich Paul
Speaker 3: met with twenty seven teams. We know one of them
Speaker 3: is not the Lakers. Twenty to nine teams were available.
Speaker 3: He member which teams were like, nah, we we're good.
Speaker 1: He's probably.
Speaker 2: That's a fair question. Memphis. After the insult to their.
Speaker 1: Ways coming in, he listened to me wants to buy
Speaker 1: the franchise and move it maybe maybe after their two teams?
Speaker 1: Who else.
Speaker 4: Thunder?
Speaker 1: I mean like, I feel like Presty was at.
Speaker 2: Least ask Yeah, the sani would talk about it.
Speaker 1: Who wouldn't talk Who wouldn't talk about it? Was like, well,
Speaker 1: who's like, I don't want to Maybe the Pelicans or
Speaker 1: I don't know. Joe dumer I didn't do a lot.
Speaker 3: He's got those two phones but couldn't figure out.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a loop. Uh yeah he mcmahumon did
Speaker 1: say the Celtics expressed interest in Lebron that was sort
Speaker 1: of interesting, and that the Lakers just excuse me, the
Speaker 1: Clippers discussed a lucrative one season contract north of twenty
Speaker 1: million dollars that would allow Lebron to stay in the
Speaker 1: California area. So obviously a lot more than he got
Speaker 1: paid by Philly here.
Speaker 2: But so that oil macau part of the whiteboard from
Speaker 2: Rich Paul was real. Well, they talked golf. I forgot
Speaker 2: about that's.
Speaker 1: Yeah related Lebron headline from the Athletic Lebron and ESPN
Speaker 1: close to major deal for Last Dance esque documentary now
Speaker 1: I have seen. I think it was Maverick Carter on
Speaker 1: social media. It's like, it's not like the Last Dance. Okay,
Speaker 1: they're not the same. They won't be the same, So
Speaker 1: don't say that, don't put that in a headline. But
Speaker 1: we have already known that there's some sort of behind
Speaker 1: the scenes documentary I'm sure already happening and then gonna
Speaker 1: continue to happen here in Philadelphia. Are you excited?
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a lot of footage. It's gonna be
Speaker 2: footage from twenty three seasons and it's high school as well,
Speaker 2: So right, right, this isn't gonna be It's not gonna
Speaker 2: be Last Stand. It's gonna be it. It's going to
Speaker 2: be the Little Bronze saga, like the whole story.
Speaker 4: I mean, Last Dance starts with Jordan's rookie year.
Speaker 2: It does, it does. Yeah, the difference is, at.
Speaker 1: Least with lebron we probably know, if not seen a
Speaker 1: lot of the Well, I guess it really just comes
Speaker 1: down to how much never before seen footage do you
Speaker 1: actually have because we grew up with them in social
Speaker 1: media and feels like we know everything some single thing
Speaker 1: about them and have seen it. Yeah, that's where it
Speaker 1: differs a little bit from obviously the nineties Jordan or
Speaker 1: eighties Jordan. So yeah, but I mean whatever, I'm sure
Speaker 1: we do a great job. They're working on a ESPN
Speaker 1: closing in an agreement.
Speaker 3: The beauty of the Last Dance was that we waited
Speaker 3: twenty five years. Yeah, and this will come out twenty.
Speaker 4: Five days after Ron finally retires.
Speaker 3: It's kinda feel different for sure.
Speaker 4: We were begging for the Last Dance. They had it
Speaker 4: ready for Sally.
Speaker 3: This is going to be debuting three months from now,
Speaker 3: and people said, no, it's COVID. We need something for
Speaker 3: our psychees. Yeah, give us this that we've been waiting
Speaker 3: for for twenty five years.
Speaker 2: So you gotta wait till the next pandemic essentially the
Speaker 2: next yes, worldwide disease.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. Like Lebron with this documentary, I could
Speaker 1: see his final game, like when we know it's his
Speaker 1: final game and he's on the court and everybody's like
Speaker 1: obviously applauding. He's like, and you know what, I got
Speaker 1: a little trailer here for my upcoming documentary. Let's take
Speaker 1: all up on the big board. And we watched like
Speaker 1: a two minute teaser. It's like it drops on Friday,
Speaker 1: We're like, all right, cool.
Speaker 4: No tribute video. Just check out the trailer for my
Speaker 4: ury coming all right?
Speaker 1: Next headline here, next headline. One task is pumped to
Speaker 1: talk about. ESPN has the headline NBA inquiry into Clippers
Speaker 1: and Kawhi Leonard could go into twenty twenty seven? Is
Speaker 1: this news?
Speaker 2: Task Listen. I'm not excited to talk about it, but
Speaker 2: I will say this is news. I do feel like
Speaker 2: the longer this goes on, the heavier the hand that'll
Speaker 2: come from Adam Silver. I think Adam Silver is going
Speaker 2: to give a legitimate punishment. And the reason why I
Speaker 2: might go into twenty twenty seven is because both parties,
Speaker 2: the NBPA representing Kauhi and the Clippers may not agree
Speaker 2: to it along with the league. So uh as Adam
Speaker 2: Silver puts the hand down because he wants to be
Speaker 2: fair and he wants to come out of this clean,
Speaker 2: I think in that he's actually administering a real punishment.
Speaker 2: This may go to an arbitrator and then there'll be
Speaker 2: an appeal, and so it could take a very long
Speaker 2: time because I do think as more and more of
Speaker 2: this Pablo Tory side of the investigation comes out, like
Speaker 2: first I think there's just a couple of things, like
Speaker 2: because Adam Siller has to has to look at this
Speaker 2: and really come down with heavy hand. I think the
Speaker 2: stuff like the two Aspiration employees brought the initial complaint
Speaker 2: forward to the federal government under the penalty of perjury,
Speaker 2: and that's some real stuff here, literally under the penalty
Speaker 2: of perjury. Now this new soccer team allegation where money
Speaker 2: allegedly funneled to Kawhi through a soccer team, I mean,
Speaker 2: I just think it's getting more and more in deep
Speaker 2: with everything involved. So I do think it becomes So what.
Speaker 1: Does this mean for the Kawhi Leonard trade to the Raptors.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's dependent on if the Clippers accept it,
Speaker 2: really accept their punishment.
Speaker 1: Really, if the Raptors you mean accept it.
Speaker 2: No, Well, to know that if Kawhi and the Clippers
Speaker 2: accepted the punishment that's given to them, and it's on them,
Speaker 2: they take that punishment and then can move on to
Speaker 2: the trade. I think that's where.
Speaker 1: Well, last time we checked, the season starts in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six, and if this goes on through twenty twenty seven, huh,
Speaker 1: then that means he would not be I guess on
Speaker 1: the Raptors at the start of the season, that's correct.
Speaker 3: Or they could come in, or they could We're fine
Speaker 3: with whatever's gonna happen. Yeah, and he's gonna maybe have
Speaker 3: to sit thirty games and they just don't know. And
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're a Raptors fan and they still
Speaker 3: want to do the trade, you want the investigation done
Speaker 3: sooner because you don't want them to be suspended for
Speaker 3: an important thirty games. Yeah, what if it comes down
Speaker 3: in May exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean that's why they almost can't like it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes sense that it's taken this long, but
Speaker 3: because there's like hesitant witnesses, there's people who don't want
Speaker 3: to get caught lying. And then of course Adam Silver
Speaker 3: has to have this one hundred percent perfect because Steve
Speaker 3: Balmer has more money than the league, so you know
Speaker 3: he's gonna have incredible lawyers ready to fight whatever they
Speaker 3: come back for it. So just when you thought it
Speaker 3: was over, like, no, we got more, We got more
Speaker 3: for you. Pablo Tory's on part twelve of his investigation.
Speaker 1: Right and the New News like you brought it up
Speaker 1: there the soccer team in Rhode Island to give you
Speaker 1: just the Coles notes on it. Around the time Aspiration
Speaker 1: filed bankruptcy and Kawhi signed a submax extension with the Clippers,
Speaker 1: Kawhi and uncle Dennis and Kawhi's now former agent, Mitch Frankel,
Speaker 1: they all invested in Rhode Island FC, which is like
Speaker 1: a second tier USL soccer club in Pawtucket. Listen to
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, right, they did this by way of
Speaker 1: LLC's that broadly matched the pattern of the Aspiration sort
Speaker 1: of nonsense, and why we have that bit of a
Speaker 1: scandal going on now. None of it announced publicly too,
Speaker 1: and so there's speculation.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: The simplified version I saw Zilla write this, and he
Speaker 1: just put it bluntly, is that Steve Balmer bailed out
Speaker 1: rifc's stadium plan and it unlocked tens of millions in
Speaker 1: public bonds in exchange for ownership stakes in the club
Speaker 1: for Kawhi and his friends. At the same time, Bomber
Speaker 1: signed Kawhi to a below max extension to preserve caps
Speaker 1: room for the Clippers as they chase the title contention.
Speaker 1: That's again from Ziller here, and that's the speculation that
Speaker 1: maybe what was going on with the aspiration again allegedly
Speaker 1: was maybe also going on here now on the other
Speaker 1: coast with a Rhode Island soccer club. So you're right,
Speaker 1: it makes it messier now it's more in depth suddenly.
Speaker 1: You know, some people think this is a nothing burger
Speaker 1: as well, but there's a pattern. It feels like.
Speaker 2: Could be.
Speaker 1: It just depends how much if I don't Balmer and
Speaker 1: the Clippers are linked at all to this Rhode Island thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's weird.
Speaker 3: It's very weird, and it's especially weird considering we know
Speaker 3: there's the clause and the CBA. It's like if we're
Speaker 3: looking at it and it looks funky and there's no
Speaker 3: other explanation besides salary caps are convention. We can say
Speaker 3: it's salary caps of convention. But it feels like Silver
Speaker 3: doesn't want to use that clause. He wants to make
Speaker 3: sure he's got everything completely locked down.
Speaker 4: So I don't know, I'm kind of the opposite.
Speaker 3: I feel like the longer and longer it stretches, the
Speaker 3: less chance that Steve Balmer gets any sort of punishment
Speaker 3: because it would just be done already. Like if this
Speaker 3: was David Stern, he'd be like three months, we're done.
Speaker 3: You're fined, you're suspended for a year. Steve Balmer, you're
Speaker 3: suspended for thirty games, Kawhi Leonard, all taken care of
Speaker 3: before the start of the season.
Speaker 4: That is not the way Silver is operating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the fact to me why it feels like it's
Speaker 2: going to go longer. You get something here, which is
Speaker 2: literally ten months into this investigation. I'm saying ten months,
Speaker 2: like I'm actually following the calendar, but it feels is
Speaker 2: it ten months? Oh yeah, at least so that comes
Speaker 2: through and now so it just feels like Adam Silver
Speaker 2: wants to have his hand it's clean, and can't walk
Speaker 2: away from this if things keep getting uncovered, which sure
Speaker 2: feels like something is legitimate there, But as you said,
Speaker 2: Steve Bomber, will and the Clippers will find that line
Speaker 2: in the CBA where you literally have to prove it
Speaker 2: with something entirely legitimate, something granularly some actual concrete. Yeah, something,
Speaker 2: So here we are maybe it's not. Yeah, they're gonna
Speaker 2: play the gray zone, but we Selsea.
Speaker 1: I don't know, do you think lebron Excuse me, Kawhi
Speaker 1: Leonard will be playing for the Raptors come opening night.
Speaker 2: Man, what are we We're in July? Well, we got
Speaker 2: to We've got two and a half months essentially for
Speaker 2: this to be done. I don't think so. I don't
Speaker 2: think he'll be there because I think there will be
Speaker 2: an actual arbitration that goes to someone beyond the law
Speaker 2: firm and outside of the league and the Clippers, and
Speaker 2: then there could be an appeal. So that's why it
Speaker 2: feels like it could take longer than.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. And this is fucking crazy because
Speaker 1: this is going to that hurts the Raptors again again
Speaker 1: here with Kawhi, because if we're saying, and I do agree,
Speaker 1: like if it continues on and they don't want to
Speaker 1: take on any sort of chances, the risk of him
Speaker 1: being penalized kai himself and missing games and all that
Speaker 1: whatever the Raptors I'm talking about, then now what so
Speaker 1: what brandon Ingram comes back? Grady Dickens like awkward and
Speaker 1: sort of like and maybe they can fight through it
Speaker 1: and power through it, but sort of like ruins your
Speaker 1: season before it's even started. To me, it's tough not
Speaker 1: to tarnish it at least.
Speaker 2: A little bit. Yeah, Yeah, it's not quite having to
Speaker 2: play in a ballroom in Tampa during the twenty one
Speaker 2: twenty two season because of the pandemic. No, the twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one season, that was weird. That was worse than
Speaker 2: what's going to happen here.
Speaker 1: At least they knew their team. You're in a weird environment.
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a strange one.
Speaker 1: Crazy final headline. Uh, a little more upbeat here. Luka
Speaker 1: Doncic just by way of the athletic Luka Doncic offers
Speaker 1: to fly teammates Lakers teammates out to Slovenia for mini camp.
Speaker 1: Is this news?
Speaker 4: No, but it's nice. Like if you're a Laker, free
Speaker 4: trip to Slovenia.
Speaker 3: It's supposed to be beautiful. All expense is paid by Luca.
Speaker 3: Take on a Luka Doncic court. Probably that we've seen
Speaker 3: Leelis go to. I know there's a female or a
Speaker 3: male gynecologist.
Speaker 1: That's over there.
Speaker 4: Talk to that guy who.
Speaker 3: We got all kinds of healthcare Slovenia. But no, if
Speaker 3: if you're making sixties plus million dollars, you can afford
Speaker 3: one hundred k of cost to fly every one of
Speaker 3: your friends out there, it's a great way to use
Speaker 3: your money.
Speaker 2: I did forget about all Leellis's videos that he created
Speaker 2: early on.
Speaker 4: That's an early one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just to hear lisay several times he could not.
Speaker 1: Believe he was meeting a young male gynecologist in Slovenia.
Speaker 3: That what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Lee gets to repost all his videos, well
Speaker 2: he reposted that one. I wonder maybe because he generally
Speaker 2: reposts videos when whenever something happens in the news, for
Speaker 2: like the Knicks just happens lots of stuff when he
Speaker 2: was a kid. Of course, any connection, sure, this I
Speaker 2: connected to a bunch of guys who are bringing in
Speaker 2: camps worldwide. It feels like maybe I'm wrong, but there
Speaker 2: feels like guys are bringing their teammates to Europe for
Speaker 2: whatever it happens. It doesn't happen like a whole team
Speaker 2: kind of thing, like Lowry Markinen brought Keynty George last
Speaker 2: year to Finland. They were hanging. Did he pay for everything?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but you know, and Yannis was with
Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Bucks. Here comes Eric bloodso to Greece. Like
Speaker 2: that kind of thing happens now whole team. I don't
Speaker 2: know that that's seems like a bit of a reach,
Speaker 2: like I don't know if it's ever happened, really, like
Speaker 2: an entire team be paid by his guy. Now, Luca's
Speaker 2: probably getting some deals in Slovenia, but group rates, group rates,
Speaker 2: group rates.
Speaker 1: I mean, it makes sense for whether it's in Slovenia
Speaker 1: or here Stateside, for Luca and the Lakers to do
Speaker 1: this because of course, holy crap, significant roster overhaul this
Speaker 1: summer for the Lakers. Obviously, Lebron gone, really gone, Marcus
Speaker 1: Mark gone, Lucnard gone, Jackson Hay's gone, Jondrayton traded to
Speaker 1: the Wizards, added Walker Kessler, Quentin Grimes, Mamu, Collin Sexton.
Speaker 1: They did that like in the first day of free agency,
Speaker 1: since Kevon Looney, Zire Williams, matist, Thaibel, Jaden Hardy, Like,
Speaker 1: what did I list? I listed eight guys I believe there.
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's basically.
Speaker 1: Luca and Austin reeveson a completely different team. So yeah,
Speaker 1: you may want to start getting that work in. But
Speaker 1: that's a nice offer. Definitely take him up on that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I wasn't in Slovenia. I was in Croatia.
Speaker 1: I mean, god, it's beautiful. Yeah, he's gonna pay for everything,
Speaker 1: so I hope they take him up on this because
Speaker 1: it does say offer, I haven't seen like confirmed everybody's going,
Speaker 1: you know?
Speaker 4: True? Well, do Thiero be there?
Speaker 2: I hope so?
Speaker 4: Do you think it would be most surprising for Luca
Speaker 4: to s he show up?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 4: Which of these new guys would knock on his door? Hey,
Speaker 4: I'm here?
Speaker 1: Who who would be the most Oh? He'd be like
Speaker 1: who are?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Although maybe Jaden Hardy.
Speaker 4: I kind of think maybe the most anonymous.
Speaker 2: Like just because he doesn't know him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are probably teammates. Actually, I bet to play together. Yea,
Speaker 4: Zaire Williams.
Speaker 3: Sure, I guess Zaire and Brownie James will be hanging
Speaker 3: out with will Brownnie.
Speaker 1: James show up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why's that.
Speaker 4: It's like you gotta bend the knee.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, well, one king left.
Speaker 4: There's a new king in l A right now.
Speaker 2: I don't know. He wasn't playing G League games on
Speaker 2: the road the way I know. The guy who will
Speaker 2: that most definitely be there is Jackson Hayes.
Speaker 1: Jackson Haes left, He's gone.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah he left, damn it. He won't be there,
Speaker 2: but if he'll show up, I think he got cleared
Speaker 2: to play for Slovenia. Oh recent.
Speaker 1: I do remember.
Speaker 4: He was definitely going for.
Speaker 2: He was going for and I think it got cleared,
Speaker 2: but I could be wrong. Yeah, I don't know who else.
Speaker 2: I'm all done.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's all the headlines I have for you. It
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot, but we got some in there. Okay,
Speaker 1: before we go. It is Friday. It's the drop time
Speaker 1: for some rapid fire fun task. You got the questions
Speaker 1: this week?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're staying in here. Nicola Jokic's horse won a
Speaker 2: race in Serbia. Again, Delicious Gar took the title last summer.
Speaker 2: It was Demon Deleste and again was on the track celebrating,
Speaker 2: and again he was emotional. As his godfather has said,
Speaker 2: Jokic heals himself with horse racing. That's my question. What's
Speaker 2: something you heal yourself with during the NBA off season?
Speaker 1: Skeets you have to purify yourself in the waters of
Speaker 1: Lake Minnetonga, not really that lake, but water.
Speaker 4: For me.
Speaker 1: This summer, it was the Adriatic Sea, Baby, and put
Speaker 1: me in a pool too. I'll be happy with that.
Speaker 1: That's my off season healing, getting water, That's right, that's
Speaker 1: the thing. That's something you do these trips and you're
Speaker 1: around the water, you're at the sea, and you're like, God,
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Why are we living in Atlanta?
Speaker 1: That's the only thing that happens. I love Atlanta, I
Speaker 1: literally love It's one of my favorite cities in America.
Speaker 1: But it's like, God, you know, what would be better
Speaker 1: living on the sea, your ocean, or even a lake
Speaker 1: lakes not far from you, but you know, not living
Speaker 1: on it. The water changes it, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm talking to lakes and lakes are different. You're right,
Speaker 1: You're right, they are there. They're fine. I mean, I'll
Speaker 1: take it. It's still a water.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still water.
Speaker 4: Yeah, still water.
Speaker 2: Trey.

Speaker 1: What about you?
Speaker 2: J d uh?
Speaker 5: You know, getting to the gym every day, you know,
Speaker 5: that's my thing, good for you off off season, just
Speaker 5: the good habits, you know, and then I throw them
Speaker 5: all away when the season starts happening. But you know,
Speaker 5: two months of ten months or twelve months, getting to
Speaker 5: the gym and water a cold plunge every day and
Speaker 5: then cold plunge.
Speaker 1: Are you tracking weight loss or is it just now
Speaker 1: pure just getting mind and body healthy?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Good, good, and just doing stuff, not necessarily waiting.
Speaker 2: Sometimes just pick a ball, that's fine. Yeah, that's fine,
Speaker 2: just doing stuff. How long are getting in the cold plunger?
Speaker 5: I do the three minutes up to Wow, Yeah, that's solid.
Speaker 5: I think that's my limit as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah long above.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I can't feel my toes and I can't clut my
Speaker 5: hands in the water, you know, like I have to
Speaker 5: keep my hands above and I go like right to
Speaker 5: my chin, Like do you go like.
Speaker 3: Right in or you're like or is it like easy?
Speaker 2: You have to sort of step. It's got steps into it.
Speaker 2: So I do that.
Speaker 5: I stay like balls deep for about fifteen seconds, and
Speaker 5: then I go right in.
Speaker 2: Okay, And at the end I dunk my head.
Speaker 1: Well right at the end, at the end, yeah, And
Speaker 1: then you're going right into sauna.
Speaker 5: No, and I first, and then I can usually jump
Speaker 5: into the hot tub for like five minutes to bring
Speaker 5: back the feeling my fingers.
Speaker 2: So you don't put the hands in. Is that your Yeah?
Speaker 2: Your Pete Fairbanks's got maxim rainolds.
Speaker 1: Indeed a fair bags.
Speaker 2: He was a relief pitcher for the Tampa Rays that
Speaker 2: was literally having trouble pitching during October November because it's
Speaker 2: so cold October. I was super cold. And that's when, Yeah,
Speaker 2: is that when you realized that or you knew it
Speaker 2: before that. I've had my whole life.
Speaker 1: Your whole life growing up in Canada. That's tough to riddle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, riddle, I didn't know you knew about the rainolds,
Speaker 2: the rain oes. Yeah, kind of ends of the family anyway. Anyway,
Speaker 2: next one here, the Indiana Pacers are bringing back their
Speaker 2: nineties pinstripe jerseys as their statement edition this season. That's
Speaker 2: a whole lot of nostalgia, wistfulness and longing for the
Speaker 2: good days. What's the brest jersey?
Speaker 6: You own?
Speaker 2: Skeets. It can be a sport or even a non sport.
Speaker 1: I decided to wear my favorite jersey that I own.
Speaker 1: I have a lot of Raptors jerseys. I have oddly
Speaker 1: a bunch of Warriors jerseys from Starter's days. I somehow
Speaker 1: have a Durant, Draymond Green, and a Curry all three
Speaker 1: different Warriors jerseys. I think I have Lebron, I have
Speaker 1: older ones. I love my Van Exel Akers. I got
Speaker 1: a Charles Barkley Sons. But yeah, I went with the
Speaker 1: custom Casey Bannerman Lowry Raptors jersey. I'm wearing it here
Speaker 1: for everybody on YouTube, but I'll show the back off
Speaker 1: because that's the real chef's kiss and it's uh it's
Speaker 1: Lowry celebrating the championship in the Damon Stodamyre, which was
Speaker 1: one of the first jerseys I've ever owned. So here
Speaker 1: I'll turn around for everybody nice there.
Speaker 7: It is.
Speaker 1: Casey Bannerman custom jerseys. I got a couple of his.
Speaker 3: So this is my favorite, all right, Trey, my best
Speaker 3: jersey I own. I think it's probably actually at my
Speaker 3: mom's house. I couldn't put my fingers on it at home.
Speaker 3: My high school baseball jersey. We had great high school
Speaker 3: baseball gear. It was like our uniforms looked exactly like
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia Phillies, except for instead of maroon purple, so
Speaker 3: I like the gray.
Speaker 4: One stitched up name on the back. Really nice stuff.
Speaker 4: Wow for a high school For sure.
Speaker 3: They were expensive at the time, but that stood the
Speaker 3: test of time over the years.
Speaker 2: That happened with baseball jerseys for you, because it happened
Speaker 2: with it for me in high school. The baseball jersey
Speaker 2: was always better than the other jerseys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, even I had I had a braves jersey, yeah,
Speaker 1: back in the day, and they were cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Otherwise you can't.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, we didn't get to keep our We
Speaker 3: didn't get to keep our basketball jerseys. Those were like
Speaker 3: recycled every year. Football was the same. We had to
Speaker 3: pay he would get your name.
Speaker 4: On the back.
Speaker 3: But like, when am I ever gonna wear a football jersey,
Speaker 3: especially like a playing.
Speaker 4: One with like elastic on the sleeves. A baseball jersey
Speaker 4: is cool to wear, though.
Speaker 1: And then maybe hockey had a time. Yeah, there was
Speaker 1: a couple couple of years there it was popular. Maybe
Speaker 1: all the rappers started wearing them and then we started
Speaker 1: wearing them.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 1: Mike McDonnel, USA. I had a North Stars jersey.
Speaker 2: Weird, it's JD that's jersey.
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton.
Speaker 5: I do have a Middleton jersey, which I do like
Speaker 5: a lot, but this is uh, I've got a wow
Speaker 5: Camo Raptors. I guess it's Armed Forces appreciation or whatever.
Speaker 2: It's to rosen on the back. It's got that cool.
Speaker 2: But it's.
Speaker 5: I mean, look, we I had a bunch of jerseys
Speaker 5: and I kind of did a call and the Middleton
Speaker 5: is in the that's my favorite jerseys, but you know
Speaker 5: this was.
Speaker 1: That's too nique.
Speaker 2: That's crazy and it's crazy.
Speaker 5: I do like the Canadian flag and that it's derosen,
Speaker 5: but anyway, and it's raptors.
Speaker 1: How many years did they wear those or just maybe one?
Speaker 1: Maybe once? Maybe I feel like they brought them back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought I thought eventually the through sleeves on them.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's or maybe I'm conflating it
Speaker 3: with the spurs that had similar ones.
Speaker 5: But it's the worst camo, right because it's like, yeah,
Speaker 5: like there's good camo.
Speaker 2: I like, I like camo. This is the pixelated Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like minecraft.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I don't know.
Speaker 4: Those are wild, those crazy.
Speaker 2: I don't remember how many years. All I can remember
Speaker 2: is Andrea Barney anywhere. Yeah. I guess that was twenty twelve,
Speaker 2: so maybe it was one year. Was it just one
Speaker 2: they crossed over? I don't know. I don't know. Okay,
Speaker 2: last question here on The Old Man and the Three podcasts.
Speaker 2: This week, the Great Shaquille O'Neal described his game day
Speaker 2: routine like this.
Speaker 6: We'd have shoot around her ten. So from eleven to twelve,
Speaker 6: I mean lunch fifteen, I'm in the bed and I'm sleeping.
Speaker 6: From twelve to four, get up, take a hot, cold shower,
Speaker 6: pee in the shower.
Speaker 2: And that's where I broke out laughing. I didn't see
Speaker 2: that coming. Other question, do you pee in the shower.
Speaker 1: Skeets depends on the shower, Okay, okay, if it's a
Speaker 1: bathtub type shower, no, somebody could be taking a bath.
Speaker 1: I find in that shower. I don't like it possible
Speaker 1: if it's a stand up shower. One I'm peeing in
Speaker 1: the shower. I've been peen in the shower for years,
Speaker 1: so yes, but I just don't like it in a bathtub.
Speaker 1: I don't know, like one of those rare bathtub but
Speaker 1: you don't see them as much anymore.
Speaker 2: So you have are like you flash to somebody having
Speaker 2: to lie in your peak kind of thing, like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit. I just I don't know, I
Speaker 1: just it's the porcelain of it all.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Something weird around it to me. But a stand up
Speaker 1: shower absolutely tray.
Speaker 3: You a pee in the shower, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, probably,
Speaker 3: I would say I'm like eighty percent of the time.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I save it to pee.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean it's like like I see the
Speaker 3: toilet right there. It's just a matter of turning your
Speaker 3: body one way or the other. But shower, for me,
Speaker 3: I've had to stop.
Speaker 4: Peeing in the sink. That was the key. I used
Speaker 4: to pee in the sink at.
Speaker 3: Wow it but then when I moved into my home,
Speaker 3: as I know, that's crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you for your truth here because yeah,
Speaker 2: I've been there too. If I got a pen of sink,
Speaker 2: I got a pen of sink.
Speaker 3: You know, can't walk all the way downstairs, JD.
Speaker 5: Have you ever pissed in the shower, like into the
Speaker 5: toilet from the shower? Has has anyone ever done that?
Speaker 1: I can't right angle? Yeah, they love, they love here
Speaker 1: in the South too many uh separate rooms for.
Speaker 2: Your yeah yeah, yeah, so tell me more, JD. It
Speaker 2: sounds like you've I've never done it, but I just
Speaker 2: thought about it. It would be fun. Need to do
Speaker 2: that just for a gag.
Speaker 5: Well, you know, sometimes you play games like some sometimes
Speaker 5: I'll do like the through the hole. Like I'll make
Speaker 5: a hole like a loop with my finger and thumb
Speaker 5: and then pee through that just for the danger and
Speaker 5: thrill of it, you know, toilet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you've never done that.
Speaker 1: It's really really fun.
Speaker 3: So like you you form it around the stream or
Speaker 3: do you start the hole and then streaming start?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that that's expert level and then yeah it's got
Speaker 5: to come yeah, but to start, yeah, you just form
Speaker 5: it around and then you know, when you feel good, yeah,
Speaker 5: and then you can blast it out.
Speaker 1: But you've done that, but you've never peed in the
Speaker 1: But like I said, like, I'm trying to get to
Speaker 1: the gym every day in the off season.
Speaker 2: I don't do in a public shower, don't. I don't.
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't bring myself.
Speaker 1: To do it. I got news for you.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not eighty percent of people. Are you wearing
Speaker 2: your slides in the public shower?
Speaker 5: I mean, I wear my slides around, but I take
Speaker 5: them off when I get in the shower because I'm
Speaker 5: I want to wash.
Speaker 1: My feah eighty other guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true. It's true, and the only.
Speaker 5: Reason I wear them. Like I I was like, I'm
Speaker 5: never going to be that guy. I don't want to
Speaker 5: be that guy to I'm not scared of whatever, fungus
Speaker 5: or anything. I don't care. I don't, it doesn't matter
Speaker 5: to me. But our gym it's so slippery, like I
Speaker 5: have to slide. Yeah, well a guy knocked himself out
Speaker 5: the other day. Oh damn, Yeah, so slides.
Speaker 2: But you take him off before the shower. I take
Speaker 2: him off in the shower, and I want to because
Speaker 2: I washed my feet. I wash. I've said this before.
Speaker 2: I wash every bit of me in between.
Speaker 1: You better wash your hands after your pisson and all
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 2: Of course I watched after that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't even know if I'm
Speaker 1: making this up. Okay, but I could have sworn like
Speaker 1: this is probably two decades ago at this point, But
Speaker 1: like I saw or heard a thing that Madonna pete
Speaker 1: in the shower because it's kills athletes' foot at.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that's I think. So it has to be true,
Speaker 4: like you can pretty on your feet to treat athlete.
Speaker 1: But did Madonna ever say that question? I swear I
Speaker 1: saw or heard it.
Speaker 2: Never heard it. No, never heard Madonna say that.
Speaker 1: I know it's not a weird it's weird.
Speaker 4: Does show up? Yeah, of course I googled Madonna pee
Speaker 4: in the shower.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's part of the Wikipedia page from Madonna
Speaker 3: on The Late Show with David Letterman in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: Wow, how would that stayed in my head after all
Speaker 1: these years?
Speaker 3: This is this is a five thousand word Wikipedia entries here.
Speaker 4: That's amazing.
Speaker 1: Ship.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, so pee in the shower. Let us know if
Speaker 1: you're pee in the shower and you said you do.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, in the shower.
Speaker 7: Wow, hopefully not take the drainage to cover off. Don't
Speaker 7: do that not recommended. Then it might be fine, just
Speaker 7: wash on down there.
Speaker 2: I definitely thought about it. Uh, you know, when you're
Speaker 2: not feeling well, you don't run over. I have to
Speaker 2: run over, dry off and go to the toilet. I
Speaker 2: don't mind having a shower, have to sit on a
Speaker 2: toilet then come back for the show. I don't mind that,
Speaker 2: Like have to poop mid shower.
Speaker 1: I don't get like you're soaking wet and that's the
Speaker 1: only you love, Like, yeah, outdoor or European European shower,
Speaker 1: Like I'm saying European like every place, but you know
Speaker 1: what i mean. Like Matt's will place in I guess
Speaker 1: he was in Amsterdam at the time. It's like it
Speaker 1: was like that one room. Yeah, the bathroom is the shower. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a funny, funny concept, so you could little it's
Speaker 1: so small. Yeah, and when you're when you're using the shop,
Speaker 1: definitely shipping all over everything, like the you can definitely
Speaker 1: toilet shoot into the toilet from there. You do everything.
Speaker 2: You can pull a JD dream.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm honestly, I'm a little distracted here thinking
Speaker 3: about my upstairs bathroom. I could go from shower into
Speaker 3: the toilet. It would be probably like a two foot shop.
Speaker 1: You could, yeah, you, you definitely could.
Speaker 2: You're making a mess.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't go. You know, you got to really
Speaker 4: have incredible arc.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what about the last five seconds?
Speaker 4: That's a problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, on the floor exactly.
Speaker 2: Well. I don't know about you, but you know I
Speaker 2: got a weak stream sometimes.
Speaker 5: Uh, nothing to be ashamed of.
Speaker 2: No, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Hey, you might have a week stream, but we got
Speaker 1: a strong stream team. Letting us hit the like button,
Speaker 1: or obviously letting us know with five star ratings and reviews.
