So thank 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.600 you guys, Gil, thank you for joining us. Tonight. The 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:22.480 Sels beat the Bucks without Yiannis one to one, nineteen Gil, 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.000 what were some of your takeaway from this. 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:30.720 Game, It seems like Bucks are so comfortable, like Dame 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:35.320 seems so comfortable without Giannis see which is a bad 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.200 Which is which is bad because that's his whole career 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.800 has been playing without you know, that type of player. Right, 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.119 So going to the playoffs in the last month, they 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:51.000 need to finally get their chemistry together because right now 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.960 they don't have chemistry. Right, They're gonna win the games 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.600 they won. They won off They're just a. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.880 Good team Boston. 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.120 The biggest flaw is they stand around a lot playing 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:05.120 ice or basketball. 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:05.520 Yep. 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:09.640 Right when one has the ball, the other star just 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:10.600 sits there. 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:15.240 In the deep corner, you know, waiting for. 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.279 The ball to come around to his his area so 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.400 then he can play one on one. That's how they 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.599 lost to Miami, and they would not beat Denver playing 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:23.440 that type of basketball. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:29.560 When you look at it, Boston shot twenty nine free throws, 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.760 the Bucks shot fourteen, and it was and they're one 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.679 point where I think the Celtics ran up the score 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.120 seventeen eighteen, maybe even nineteen points, but they were never 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.120 able to put the Bucks away. The Bucks come back 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.080 and wheel it down. And I agree with what you 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.760 said about Giannis, and I think the thing is with Dame. 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.279 Dame is so used and so comfortable without playing with 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.880 a super super mega superstar. 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.560 That he's like, Okay, I'm just back in Portland. This 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:57.200 ain't nothing to me. 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.200 I'm used to having a supporting cast and I get 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.240 to do my things. I'm gonna run guys, I pick, 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.039 i gonna put guys in the pick and roll. They're 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.120 gonna get me the ball and I can do my thing. 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:07.279 Yeah. 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:11.400 The concern that I have is that, look, we understand 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:12.119 what Yianni sells. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:13.520 It goes without saying. 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.080 In playoff the game is gonna come down to clutch 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.240 time the last five minutes the game within five points. 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.120 Who should have the ball in their hands versus who 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.600 will have the ball in their hand killed? Those are 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.640 two Those are totally two different questions with two different arguments. 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:36.080 Yeah, at this point in time, I mean, I hope 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:40.000 everyone's smart enough to know that Dame needs the ball. 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:42.160 At the end of the game. 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.160 He needs to be making all the plays, making all 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:45.960 the decisions. 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.120 It's no different than Kobe and Shaq. Yeah, Shack, we. 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.640 Know you're dominant, just not at this point because we 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:56.560 don't need you to get fouled unless you are making 0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:00.920 free throws at a high rate in that game. Other 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.200 than that, we don't want you shooting free throws. That 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.960 benefits the other team that you're going to free throw line. 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.400 But what you're gonna need, and you've seen it today, 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:11.560 you're gonna need free throw TIMPs. So what ends up 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:16.280 happening is you're gonna need Giannis into the offense. Uh 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.640 at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Yeah, so he 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.720 team into the penalty rhythm. Yeah, he has to do 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.920 his Everyone has to do their part understanding their roles, 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:31.080 and until they get that, they're gonna you know, it's 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.240 gonna be one of those you know, win a game, 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.880 lose a game, win two games, lose two games. 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.880 I don't see them. I don't see them getting out. 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:44.600 Of the East just because I don't see that. Their 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.160 chemistry is not gonna be there. Middleton just coming back, 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.239 Gianni's is not there. When they all three get together, 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:50.520 they gotta find in that rhythm. 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:51.400 Yeah. 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.480 I thought Chris Middleton looked really, really good tonight. They 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.200 didn't get much out of Jake Crowder play fifteen minutes. 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.480 They didn't get much out of Elik Beasley play twenty 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.560 six minutes between those guys, Oh, between those guys in 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.680 Brook Lopez, you only got what twenty one points you need. 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.359 You need more than that from your starters, especially with 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.920 Dame doing what he did. Chris Middleton played really well 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.080 only thirty three minutes tonight. Bobby ports Is Bobby Porters 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.280 off the bench gave you a double double twenty four 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:21.560 and ten. But you need more. You If y'anis is 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.200 gonna be out, let's just add I don't know how 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.800 long he's gonna be out, but you're gonna probably need 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.120 thirty five points between those three guys. Now, how do 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.760 you want to dive it up? Because Dame is gonna 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.480 give you Dame numbers. If Chris Middleton's gonna give you twenty, 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.520 Bobby Bobby Porter is gonna give you what he gives 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.840 you off the bench. I can't have three guys playing 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.760 those kind of minutes giving me twenty one points gain. 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:43.160 I can't. Now. 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.560 Now now we've seen, we see what the three amigos 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:50.640 look like. See the three amigos for Dame is him, 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.080 Bobby and Middleton. 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:52.560 Right. 0:07:54.000 --> 0:08:00.840 The ones that suffer is Lopez, Beasley, Crowder when. 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:05.760 Yannisystem to stop me, Yannis, you need Brook Lopez man 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.280 to be in the lane. You need Crowders man. 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:09.960 To be in the lane, and that's how they get 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.360 their open shots right right. 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.280 So it's one of those. 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.080 Both teams got to set a three that they're a 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:17.880 three migos, So you got to figure out how all 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:19.520 of those guys can play well together. 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.920 I just think, look, it is what it is. 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.280 I look at it like when we played whether I 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:28.960 win or lose, I was trying to gather as much 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.160 information as I possibly can, just in case I had 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.160 to see this team down the road, because I so 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.040 I wanted to see, in certain situations down in distance 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.320 how they played me, because I realized they're gonna play 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.000 me different than they play any other tight end. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.160 So I'm trying to gather as much information. 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.760 Five catches for fifty yards, ten catches for one hundred 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.680 and twenty yards, it didn't matter. I'm trying to gather. 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.880 It's much information as I can win or lose. I 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:57.360 think the Buck looking at this says, look, guys, look 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.400 how they shot the three and they got a bunch 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.120 of them up. We know they're gonna get a bunch 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:06.800 of threes up. But we were right there. Now, Yannis book, 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.679 y'alln's gonna get thirty eighteen. I don't give damn what 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.280 you do, Boston. You can't stop that he getting thirty eighteen. 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:19.160 The question is, can Dame give me twenty seven. 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:27.520 Thirty for the sea for the whole series? But yes, 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.600 he's gonna have to be there. Nah. Now, well you 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.720 know how you say you collect information? Yes, well that's docs. 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.400 That's Doc's weakness. 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:41.040 Oh lord, because no, because exactly what you said you said. 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.880 They're looking at this game and say we didn't have Giannis. 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.839 That is his gonna that's his speech in that locker 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.760 room as we speak. Hey, you know, guys, we kept 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:56.040 fighting back. We played hard. Uh you know we didn't 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:57.000 have Gianni's today. 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:58.960 Look what we did. We put them on the bricks 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.040 they made this week? Did that wo? 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:05.840 And then play them exactly the same and damn way 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.640 the very next game he doesn't adjust well because he 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:10.400 makes up an. 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.040 Excuse for why they lost. 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.520 So he's okay with we fought hard, instead of going 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.280 in there and saying we didn't do this, well, we 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:19.120 need to clean this up. 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:20.199 We need to clean this up. 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.920 And then go into the next game with a different 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.360 game plan. He's gonna go into the same the next 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.000 game with the same exact game plan and wonder why 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:31.840 he can't win. 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:36.920 Around Well, how about this even if Dame does it well, 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.000 because if Dame, look, I need to get somewhere between 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.079 fifty five and sixty five points between Dami and Jannis 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.080 because I can't because I can't count on the other 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.240 three starters to give me twenty five to thirty. So 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.440 I need at least I need at least that because 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.800 if Dame gives you less than twenty, can I expect 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.800 Beasley to have a game where he goes for twenty five? 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.240 Can I expect crowded and have a game? Well, he 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:05.880 goes for twenty five. Now, uh, Lopez low Pez, you 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.600 know he he's semissed. I mean they've been games. He 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.400 goes twelve or fourteen, makes four eight from the three, 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.559 so he can give you twenty. The X factor is 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.960 gonna be Chris Middleton because you know, come playoff time, 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.000 deal them. Games happen every other day. Ain't no two 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.160 days rest ain't no. The biggest risk you'll get is 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:29.439 between games two and three, gotta travel. You get a 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.360 couple of extra days and then boom you back up. 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.439 So if if if Joannis and Dame do what they 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:40.360 do and Middleton can give me twenty, I like their 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:42.760 chances because Bobby Porters is gonna give me some Gonna 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:44.160 give me fifteen to twenty off the bench. 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:45.760 Yeah, you a hole. Yeah. 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:52.880 When it comes to playoffs, it's a little different because 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.040 you get that playbook on. You get that playbook, you 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:57.520 know exactly what everyone does. 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:02.320 It's you know, actually what you do. We know when 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.839 Giannis goes left, his passing. 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.960 Percentage is ten percent, so we're gonna push him left 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.240 knowing that he don't pass the ball going left, he's 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.960 gonna take that shot right. So all of that is 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:17.600 gonna be put into it. So you do need a 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:18.559 Bobby Porters. 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:22.319 We just need one game of you being good, right, Lopez, 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:23.800 We just need one game of you. 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.360 Being good, and that's you the playoffs do. 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.120 So you'll take your three guys right, and you say, 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:36.479 all right, we have Jannis, Middleton and Dame between. 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:36.640 The three of you. 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.040 This is how we need at least sixty points from 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.599 the three of you. Everybody else chip in. We're expecting 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.280 out of the other five players. One of you guys 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.520 have fifteen to twenty five one game. Just be great 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.360 for one game, and that's how the series goes. You 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.520 just gotta be great for one game during the season. 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.640 Now if you want to have three or four games 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.040 and help us get out of this series. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:04.120 Right, But for the most part, you're not. 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.240 Expecting your bench to be dominant like that because it's 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.720 a four game series. So people are getting cut off 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:13.040 and it's basically stars being stars. 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:13.679 Right. 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.760 Well, I'm gonna need Listen, I'm gonna need the Bucks, 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:21.280 Big Three, Middleton, Johannis, and and and Dame. They gotta 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.800 give me at least seventy because I know John is 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:24.559 gonna give me thirty. 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.880 So if Dame Dame Dame gonna. 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.240 Give me twenty five, so can can Middleton give me 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.640 somewhere between fifteen and twenty? On a nightly basis hell 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.839 playing thirty playing thirty to thirty five minutes, I think he. 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.040 Can give you fifteen. It all depends on what team 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:40.760 you guys are playing. First. 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:45.320 If you're playing Miami, right, uh, it needs to be 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:49.400 switched around, and Joannis needs to be at about twenty 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:50.240 to twenty five. 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.800 Uh, y'all is gonna get you twenty twenty five, you 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.920 lose it. If if y'all is scoring twenty twenty five points, 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.880 you losing. Unless Dame goes, hey, why give you four? 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.520 To you? But y'all just can't give you. He has 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:03.120 to give you that. 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.240 No, if he gives you, if he gives you thirty, 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.360 if he gives you thirty thirty five, that means he's 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:08.720 playing into Miami's defense. 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:13.360 Be selfish. We that's why he can't beat them, because 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.160 that defense. 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.320 Is designed to cut off everybody else and just let 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:18.760 you score. 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:23.200 So he is gonna have to become a passer. 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:26.880 Just for that series. He's gonna have to let everybody eat. 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.280 And he beat a decoy some of these playoff games. 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:34.440 Just like a receiver, right, sometimes you gotta be a decoy, 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.640 run your route hard to make everybody look and then 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.520 we're going, we're going, we're gonna beat up on this 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:40.320 side a little bit. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.760 Right, he's never learned. He thinks he can just I'm 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:46.840 gonna get it this year. I'm gonna get it this year. 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:48.920 They you know, they've been playing me great, I'm gonna 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.040 keep it. That's not how it is. They have you. 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.880 They have your number, and the number they have is 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.960 you trying to score thirty thirty five, and if you 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.600 score thirty thirty five, your team loses. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.040 If he scored fifteen to twenty five, your team wins. 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.440 Pick it. He's never picked a fifteen to twenty five. 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:09.960 Well, they do a good job. They got Bam, and 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.920 Bam does a good job. Obviously they're gonna help some. 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.520 But Bam does a good job of defending him. But 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.920 I think now you can't load up on it because 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.200 they've never had to defend somebody like thing that was 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.160 running a riding shot gun with it. So them loading 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.960 up trying to build that wall. Okay, yeah, look, we 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:30.680 know he's gonna get one to two charges of the 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:32.480 game because he gets in his mind like i'mt my head, 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.440 I'm going to the rim down. But he's never had 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.800 a guy like Dave as great as Holiday was. He 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.040 ain't dame on the offensive end, And so I think 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:48.479 that's that's where they could The Bucks has an advantage 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.280 this time around it if they were to meet because 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.560 the Celtics are eleven clear of Milwaukee, they're fifty five 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.400 and fourteen. Milwaukee is forty four and twenty five. There's 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.320 only a six game. There's only six games separating two three. 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.880 It means Miami's in the eight seed and a slot 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.720 thirty eight and thirty one, and Milwaukee is in the 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:08.840 two spot forty four, twenty five. 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:12.360 And you know, and the team that's in the seventh 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.400 and the eighth. They had trouble with both. 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:18.920 Of them because it looked Indian ain't looking to play 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.760 no defense, make miss out of bound foul. 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:22.840 They look at to put well, I. 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:27.240 Mean, in the playoffs that place like that play to 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.400 the Bucks. You know, everyone's gonna look at old man Indiana. 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:35.200 Is the playoffs right, and the playoffs the game naturally 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:36.040 just slows down. 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:37.360 It becomes a little tougher. 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:43.280 You know, those those reps really really so you. 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.440 Know they play to the stars. So Indy where Indian 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:47.760 got it. 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.280 Indiana's going to be at a disadvantage in the playoffs 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.440 against the Bucks even though their their their record in 0:16:53.560 --> 0:17:00.960 regular season it has been dominant against them. 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.040 Okay, your time, Pride. Next segment, it's called a NewsCap. 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:15.400 Let's see what the NewsCap brings for today. Anthony Davis 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.840 admits every game is a playoff game for the Lakers, 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.400 Ad said, Bron is Ron. Obviously it's time for It's 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.040 that time of the year, shooting the ball extremely well, 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:27.200 in a tag mode, finding guys. He's been locked in defensively. 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:30.080 So it's this time of year, especially for us, where 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.840 every game is a playoff game, so the time of 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.560 year extensively locked in and get the job done. 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:36.639 Uh. 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.760 We see what there. We see them go on the 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:46.560 road and beat Boston without Lebron. We see them at 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:52.200 home beat Milwaukee without Lebron. We see them win some games, 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.400 but then we see Ad gets hurt and then they 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.399 blow it. Had they had a big lead against the 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.440 against the Warrior and end up losing on Saturday. 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.280 Do the Lakers have another gear. 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.159 That they can get to like last year, that can 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.239 get them to the Western Conference Finals? Uh? 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:16.399 Yeah, they do. It's all depending on Lebron. It's Lebron's. 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:18.200 It's it's Lebron's next gear. 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:19.040 That that's it. 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.120 It ain't the Lakers next year, it's Lebron's the next gear. 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.199 He's gonna carry the load. You know, He's gonna come 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.040 out and try to turn it up a notch. 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:29.680 Uh. 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.359 It just made me laugh that this is playoffs for 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:33.359 Anthony Davis. 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:34.600 But he went out with a high injury. 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:38.439 Man that man elbow, the man, I was right there. 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:41.840 He he got, he got hit hard. I mean, I 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:43.879 know you can't hard. You can't really tell because you know, 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:47.000 he kind of got like like googly eyes. Anyway, but 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:48.160 he got he took a good shot. 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:48.920 He took it. 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:50.440 He took he took a good shot to that. I 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:53.320 mean he came back with twenty five and you and fifteen. 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:57.879 It's all positioning. Now, it's all positioned at this point 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:02.680 right now, where where the tense. So we'll play let's 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:07.399 say Golden State, and at the end season game, we 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:09.520 will beat them, right, that's gonna be. 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:11.120 We're just gonna hit the. 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.240 Glass and a d and Lebron attack the rim because 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:16.480 they don't know how to defend the rim at this point, 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:19.040 they're not gonna shoot they free throws. Then we're gonna 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:24.200 play what between Dallas and uh South Phoenix Phoenix. 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:30.400 And then if we get that eighth seed, oh sure, 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:31.880 oh you got shape. 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:33.919 Oh if they if they get okay, feed he'll beat 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:39.240 in the playoffs, Yes, sir, yes, they'll be beat You've. 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.399 Beat okay, see and then you now you have the 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.440 number one slot, which means you play four five, which 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.520 four five is Pelicans or the Clippers. If you get 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:51.359 the Clippers for the Lakers, that that is amazing because one, 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:55.800 you don't have to leave. Two, that's a Laker crowd 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:57.639 on both sides. The only time it turns in the 0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:59.840 Clipper crowd is if the Clippers is winning in the 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.080 last four or five minutes, then their their fans says 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:04.360 is engaged. 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.800 Other than that, it's damn near a Laker. 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:10.520 Game all seven all seven games, and then you get 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.439 Denver in the. 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:16.800 Western Conference and hopefully you know they're beat up by then. 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:22.240 If not, well you see you next year. Yeah, because man, 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:27.360 the live the last five minutes. Man, that two main 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:30.560 game with Yok and Murray either dribble, hand off the 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:33.880 pick and roll or Murray breaks you down and then 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:36.080 he hits Michael Porter Jr. And he hadn't been missing 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.680 lately for that three ball. Yoki's gonna be Yoke. 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:40.160 You can see. 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:43.800 You can see He's like, well, damn, because who did 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.720 they play the Maverick? No, who did they play the 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:48.000 other night they played? Who did they play? 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.200 Last night? They played? Timber Wolves? 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.880 Timberwolves Timberwolves said, you know what, we're gonna let you score. 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:55.399 We ain't gonna let you We're not gonna let you 0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:59.320 get twenty six and fifteen sists. So we're gonna neutralize 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:02.240 some of the Okay, I'll drop thirty five and sixteen 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:04.080 on your hands with three of this. 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:06.719 And then you got Michael Porter Jr. 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.479 He got to going late in the fourth and then 0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:12.800 he couldn't miss, and then they ended up hope they 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:15.960 they end up helding off for Minnesota, even though a 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:18.160 man had a great look at a three to send 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.800 the game in the overtime. But that's the thing with 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:25.760 the Nuggets that the last five minutes they make you 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:30.600 execute every possession because they execute every present they get. 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:34.640 They get every every shot that they want. They ain't 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:35.960 taking no bad shots. 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:38.600 And even when the clock's running down it you think 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:39.600 it's a bad shot for Yo. 0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:41.879 When he's stepping back off one foot throwing it up there, 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:44.760 you can't see the ball, it's a great shot for him. 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:45.240 You know what. 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:48.600 I think the last five minutes Lakers need to switch 0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:51.600 their offense. Yes, you want the ball on the bronze hands, 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:55.720 but it seems like when we're playing them that's where 0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:58.760 we lose the game, right, It's the it's the execution 0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:02.439 of the last five minutes. I I think that we 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:08.880 should be playing Dlo and Davis. 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:14.800 No, you need to play pick and roll in two 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:21.280 man game like Murray and Kick and then have Lebron 0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:23.679 and that dunker spot lob spot. 0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:26.320 So if you're trying to help on eighties roll, you 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:27.760 have Lebron James. 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:30.440 On the backside ducking in and coming to the because 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:32.840 for the most part, if he can't get to the lane, 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:34.879 he's gonna do a step back. 0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:36.600 Three, which you don't need heat. 0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:41.400 Checks the last five minutes, right, and then you don't 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:44.240 you don't really need no bomb passes where he's trying 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:46.200 something he don't have it. Then he throw the reeves. 0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:48.520 Reeves just shuck that three up. So it seemed like 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:53.760 it'd be more a better, a better type of offense 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:58.639 if you have Lebron playing like Gordon in the last 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:02.159 five minutes, where because it's Lebron on the backside, we 0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:06.160 really actually have to pay attention to him, and. 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:08.399 That that's how we beat That's what we beat. 0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:14.680 The Golden State Last year. When Lebron was picked, he 0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:17.760 was the picker he was playing slash and cutting because 0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:19.399 playing for it. 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:26.360 Yeah put put put uh del and Lebron the pick 0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:28.640 because Lebron to you don't. 0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:33.920 Like Lebron because uh because I need unless Lebron is 0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:38.680 unless Lebron is diving, I need the Anthony dive and 0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:40.000 I need Anthony Davis. 0:23:40.119 --> 0:23:42.919 Who's gonna if they switch it. Anthony Davis is posting 0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:43.480 up against the. 0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:46.240 Little guy, so now he can just shoot over him, Like, 0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:48.359 I like that idea better. 0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:51.600 You know him and Lebron. 0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:55.040 Lebron's gonna step step back and then that's gonna. 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:58.879 End up turning into a jumper. Yeah, I don't nah, no, 0:23:59.000 --> 0:23:59.320 thank you. 0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:04.920 Draymond Green says Kyrie Irban is the most skilled player 0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:07.679 in NBA history. Dre said there's actually nothing you can 0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:10.320 do to stop Kyrie from scoring. You just try to 0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:12.399 do all you can to make it tough, make a 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:15.439 tough shot, and live with the results. Dame Little tweeted 0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:18.280 Kyrie Irvan is the most skilled player in NBA history, 0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:21.640 and quite frankly, I'm not sure who can argue against that. 0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:25.760 The things that Kyrie, if capable of, are unreal. Bugy 0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:28.679 Cousin says, also, Kyrie Irban is the most skill, is 0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:31.520 more skill than Kobe. I might put him over cold, 0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:34.120 and I gotta put I have to got to put 0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:37.560 him over cold that MOFO five or level posting them up. 0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:42.360 I can, I can, I can, I can argue against it, okay, argue. 0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:44.360 The question is what is what? 0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:48.680 What is? What is skilled? I guess you're talking about 0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:53.159 ability to handle the ball game? Finish. 0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:55.480 I think it's a it's a it's a it's a 0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:59.680 skill to be as small as he is can finish 0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:01.000 at the ri You. 0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:05.080 Can't use height to to to determine if you can finish. 0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:08.280 Either you can finish or you can't. So if he 0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:10.040 can finish at the rim, he can finish. 0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:10.200 At the rim. 0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:13.040 You don't think there's a skill to be able to 0:25:13.080 --> 0:25:15.560 do this and kiss it off the glass up under here, 0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:16.959 or spin or spin it. 0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:23.680 Yeah, that's all skilled. So yah. So the question is. 0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:28.960 How many categories are we putting in the skilled department? 0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:33.600 Right? How many categories there? From there? You look through 0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:35.440 history and see who who checks off? 0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:41.560 Because Larry Bird was skilled, was filled, Jordan was skilled, 0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:46.080 Windy is skilled. 0:25:47.040 --> 0:25:47.240 Right. 0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.480 So when we're talking like I think everyone just sees 0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:54.000 the flashiness, and that's what yt are skilled. 0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:56.840 And he's the most skilled. 0:25:56.359 --> 0:26:00.280 Player because of how his array of moves, which is 0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:03.119 only unlocked because of the rule calling. 0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:03.400 Now. 0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:08.480 But when we're talking about skill offensive, least skilled posting up, 0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:14.359 mid range, passing, dribbling, lay a package, dunk package. 0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:17.600 Right, there's there's there's at least five. 0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:21.160 To seven boxes that you have to check these players off. 0:26:21.200 --> 0:26:25.000 And you know, there's a lot of very skilled players. 0:26:25.080 --> 0:26:28.840 Yeah, for the most part, they can't dribble at a 0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:30.520 level ten, but some. 0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:31.520 Of them are at eight to nine. 0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:33.960 There's things that Hyrie is an eight to nine at 0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:37.800 that people are attend in for Wimby. Winby dribbling is 0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:41.560 a ten for big men. So what can he do 0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:42.520 that Winby can do? 0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:45.080 Right? 0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:51.520 I think looking to three, he's throwing it between people legs. 0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:53.600 He's doing like you know what I mean. So his 0:26:53.760 --> 0:26:55.600 skill level is very high too. 0:26:55.680 --> 0:26:58.359 So right now, it's just the flashiness of the dribble 0:26:58.800 --> 0:26:59.480 that there can. 0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:01.680 Gil. 0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:04.960 I honestly think people when they say skill, they think 0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:07.200 they just look at the offensive side. So I think 0:27:07.240 --> 0:27:09.760 we're just gonna put it in an offensive bucket. I 0:27:09.760 --> 0:27:11.919 think they look at his handles his ability to handle, 0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:16.320 his ability to finish with either hand equally as well 0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:20.000 his ability to shoot the ball from three, to shoot 0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:21.919 the ball from the mid range. He's on pace to 0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:24.720 deal another fifty forty ninety. I think only two guys 0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:27.840 have ever had two seasons with that, and that's Kevin Durant. 0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:30.040 Lad Bird has had a fifty forty ninety. I think 0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:33.800 Dirk Nbisky's had a fifty forty ninety. Steph Curry's had 0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:36.639 a fifty forty ninety. Kyrie Irvan is on pace to 0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:40.400 have another fifty forty ninety. And so you look at him, 0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:42.440 he's a three level scorer. He got the three, he 0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:46.200 has the mid range. Obviously, he has the layoup package 0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:48.360 from either side with either hand. 0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:50.880 I got to update you five level. 0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:54.679 With it over five, so he gets free thrown. 0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:59.000 So three levels is lay up mid range in three 0:27:59.680 --> 0:28:03.720 three five levels is the ability to post stuff and 0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:06.680 the ability of logo ISOs. 0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:09.399 So yes, he is considered five levels. 0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:11.240 So like someone like Curry is only a three level 0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:14.200 because he don't post stuff and he don't iso right. 0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:18.000 So there is different tiers you to basketball. 0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:20.800 But you know when when you just say offensively, then 0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:25.920 Larry Bird two right, play your whole game, scored forty 0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:28.240 something with his left hand said, I'm too bored to night. 0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:30.600 I'm gonna be I'm gonna be left. I gotta stay 0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:33.400 it right for the Lakers. So you know it's it's 0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:36.120 to really say who is and just stand on it. 0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:40.240 Let we got to put it in categories, all right, dribbling, 0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:43.880 give it a rating, drip, shooting, mid range, shooting this, this, this, 0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:46.800 and then go from there and see who is actually 0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:51.320 the best. Pirie is the best dribbler ten right. 0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:58.600 Moves creating him and Kobe right, James Harden. 0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:02.240 I think people forgot about Jay when Jane was it 0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:05.080 had that had that like that five six year stretch 0:29:05.160 --> 0:29:10.440 Gil but that man, people say, people saying he better 0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:11.640 scored than Geordie. 0:29:12.400 --> 0:29:16.320 Yeah, I mean people, Yeah, I mean the dude. 0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:18.440 He had what he had like thirty some games, well 0:29:18.520 --> 0:29:20.480 thirty some games where he had at least thirty pours 0:29:20.520 --> 0:29:23.160 a game and he was getting sixty point triple doubles. 0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:26.240 He get fifty point triple doubles, I mean, and he 0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:27.680 had developed that step back. 0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:30.880 It wasn't nothing you can do with it. It's like 0:29:30.960 --> 0:29:32.880 he's one of nine. Kyrie is one of the most 0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:38.800 skilled players that's walked through the league, best dribbler by far. 0:29:39.960 --> 0:29:43.360 So you know, but when we're when we're talking about 0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:45.880 who is the most skillful, you know, there's there's more 0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:48.760 attributes to the game than dribbling in. 0:29:48.840 --> 0:29:52.120 The flash part of it. Right, Like Steve what is 0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:58.200 what can he do better than Steve Nash has dribbled? 0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:01.200 I mean can he be? I mean, yeah, he has 0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:02.600 a better finishing package. 0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:06.000 Well, you know, Steve Nash shoots the mid range, better 0:30:06.000 --> 0:30:09.560 shoot the three, better pass better, right, so you see, 0:30:09.560 --> 0:30:12.520 I wins here, he wins here. So it depends on 0:30:12.560 --> 0:30:16.320 what we're using. Okay, speaking to. 0:30:16.400 --> 0:30:19.480 Kobe, Gil, you defended Kobe Bryant's parents for selling his 0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:22.080 championship ring. Gill, you said, you can't be mad at 0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:24.600 the parents on this one. They broke they got no money. 0:30:24.880 --> 0:30:27.800 You can't be mad because they're selling the rings. The 0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:30.960 money wasn't left to them. They tried to eat. Kobe 0:30:31.000 --> 0:30:34.200 gave his father, Joe, his very first championship ring. Joe 0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:39.520 and Pamela didn't attend a couple's weddings when Kobe mad Vanessa. 0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:42.920 Kobe parents did not attend the wedding in two thousand 0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:45.000 and one. Over the years, there have been a brief 0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:48.000 reconciliation were documented, but that came to a halt in 0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:51.080 twenty thirteen. When you give and they take, That's what 0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:54.760 I said. Givers must put limits on what they give, 0:30:55.120 --> 0:30:57.600 because takers will never put limits on what they take. 0:30:57.880 --> 0:30:59.840 This is what Kobe said. When you give, give and 0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:01.920 they take take, At what point do you draw the 0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:05.760 line in the sand? Kobe tweeted with hashtag heard beyond measure, 0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:07.800 gave me no warning. 0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:09.080 And finally love. 0:31:09.760 --> 0:31:12.800 Now. Remember they tried to hawk all this high school stuff, 0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:16.960 all the trophies and all the stuff. I mean, got gil, 0:31:18.120 --> 0:31:20.600 I mean how much? I mean how much?

I said, hey, bro, what's what's 0:33:02.560 --> 0:33:03.600 going on like that? 0:33:03.760 --> 0:33:06.080 Hey? I love him? 0:33:06.480 --> 0:33:07.880 I want to be with him. That's who I want 0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:11.960 to be with. I say, you sure, it's the happiest 0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:12.720 I've ever seen it. 0:33:14.640 --> 0:33:16.760 Uh huh. They got with it. 0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:19.280 But but but you know that's not how that works, right, 0:33:20.080 --> 0:33:23.000 you know this is actually the real life how it hurts, 0:33:23.480 --> 0:33:26.920 I mean works if the parents disagree, like I don't 0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:29.480 think you should marry her, like if you're young when 0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:31.720 you need to preen up. And the father who's been 0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:36.400 an NBA player before giving his knowledge to his son, right, 0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:42.520 well yeah, if if his girlfriend knows the parents don't 0:33:42.640 --> 0:33:45.200 like him, what happens when they get married? What is 0:33:45.240 --> 0:33:48.320 the girlfriend's stand or the wife now stands the wife 0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:52.280 stand is right, I don't I don't mess with them 0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:55.840 right here, but here cut off. So the wife cuts 0:33:55.880 --> 0:33:58.600 off the parents no matter what. So now Kobe is 0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:02.240 trying to feed him in the back. Eventually the wife 0:34:02.360 --> 0:34:03.920 is making all the decisions. 0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:08.160 So guess what if that was if that was the 0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:11.680 dad's money, If the dad was a multi billionaire and 0:34:11.719 --> 0:34:13.399 he says, you know, I'm about to lead this company. 0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:15.520 I'm about to leave this fortune to you, son, And 0:34:15.560 --> 0:34:17.359 if you won't get no prenup, I can't do it. 0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:20.759 Kobe made that money. Yeah, his mommy day ain't got 0:34:20.840 --> 0:34:21.520 ins to do with that. 0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:24.920 If if I if I got five hundred million, and 0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:26.319 I say, you know what, I'm about to have the 0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:29.720 world biggest bond fire in LA. That's my damn money. 0:34:30.160 --> 0:34:33.440 Ain't nobody got up and shot them shots with me. 0:34:33.680 --> 0:34:37.200 Ain't nobody run with me. Nobody did that? So what 0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:40.200 Kobe doing with this money? I get parent, you want 0:34:40.239 --> 0:34:43.279 the best interest in you of your child. I get it. 0:34:43.360 --> 0:34:47.160 I'm a parent. But sometimes, Gil, the only way your 0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:49.840 child is gonna know his head hurt is the bumping 0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:53.439 and damn self. And that's a hard lesson to learn 0:34:53.719 --> 0:34:57.000 when you're dealing with that kind of money. But that's okay, 0:34:57.640 --> 0:35:00.480 that's him. But that's the problem. It's not like they're 0:35:00.480 --> 0:35:03.480 saying give it to me. They're saying that was their stance. 0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:07.200 So it's not like him and Kobe had a fall out. 0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:10.919 Vanessa is the one who's saying they don't like me, Well, 0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:11.799 I don't like them. 0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:14.040 They can stay over there, they can't see the kid. 0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:18.279 It's her stance now because she's the wife, so she 0:35:18.440 --> 0:35:20.680 is the one who put the bridge in between the 0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:21.279 two of them. 0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:24.080 So we thought you should factor that in. 0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:27.600 Fact of that is, man, I'm being I'm being a 0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:29.480 jerk to this girl. What if this what if this 0:35:29.520 --> 0:35:31.360 is my son? What if this is my son's wife 0:35:31.480 --> 0:35:33.520 and they have kids? How am I gonna see the 0:35:33.520 --> 0:35:37.680 grand baby? You give you what person? You know you 0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:40.480 can give them your ass. The kids and when they 0:35:40.520 --> 0:35:42.960 get into an advent tells your situation. Now all of 0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:44.759 a sudden, you want to do you want to be nice. 0:35:44.800 --> 0:35:46.839 You want to be nice to them. They're gonna turn 0:35:46.840 --> 0:35:48.120 around to give you their ask. 0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:51.040 To But again, you don't. You don't have to. You 0:35:51.080 --> 0:35:52.040 got a factor in that. 0:35:52.400 --> 0:35:55.600 You thought these two parents was gonna think their son 0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:58.160 would just pick a woman over them. 0:35:58.440 --> 0:36:00.279 You didn't. You don't. You don't factor that in. You're 0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:04.360 just being parents, Yes, you A son is a son 0:36:05.160 --> 0:36:06.360 until he takes a wife. 0:36:07.040 --> 0:36:09.880 A daughter is a daughter for life. Don't you forget that? 0:36:10.000 --> 0:36:12.719 Gilbl Arenas, you remember that? Okay, okay, so you know. 0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:14.319 What. 0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:17.560 I don't know how, but the Bible says when a 0:36:17.600 --> 0:36:20.040 man chooses a wife, that is now he is home. 0:36:20.440 --> 0:36:23.239 But this is before the wife, this is before she's 0:36:23.280 --> 0:36:24.040 a wife. 0:36:24.120 --> 0:36:27.480 Even in the process of giving her father and parent advice. 0:36:28.440 --> 0:36:31.440 Oh okay, he didn't take it. Now he didn't take it. 0:36:31.760 --> 0:36:32.399 You can't be mad. 0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:35.160 You can't be mad at you give your It's just 0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:37.279 it's just like you give your son back. Hey son, 0:36:37.320 --> 0:36:38.759 you need to go and get the shots. Now you 0:36:38.760 --> 0:36:42.439 need five hundred. He do two fifty. You can, son, 0:36:42.480 --> 0:36:44.960 I'm telling you now, you take the five hundred, is 0:36:45.000 --> 0:36:47.960 gonna greatly increase your chances of being what you want 0:36:47.960 --> 0:36:49.399 to be. You want to be the number one crewit 0:36:49.400 --> 0:36:52.160 in twenty twenty six. That's what you're gonna need to do. 0:36:52.200 --> 0:36:53.480 You need to get up and get this run in. 0:36:53.680 --> 0:36:56.200 You need to get eat like this. You can give 0:36:56.320 --> 0:36:59.240 him all the advice that you want, but you can't 0:36:59.239 --> 0:37:02.000 want something for the child more than they wanted for themselves. 0:37:02.280 --> 0:37:05.319 He wanted Vanessa more than he wanted the advice from 0:37:05.360 --> 0:37:05.800 his parent. 0:37:06.360 --> 0:37:10.200 You can't be mad, he said. They're mad. They're not mad. 0:37:11.440 --> 0:37:13.600 There's nothing to be mad about. You chose her. Oh cool, 0:37:13.600 --> 0:37:17.640 were here living, but we gotta live right. You're not talking. 0:37:17.640 --> 0:37:18.799 We're not talking to each other. 0:37:19.120 --> 0:37:22.319 We got five dollars in our bank account, bills is 0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:22.919 coming up. 0:37:23.120 --> 0:37:25.960 All we have so ollo what what? He in the 0:37:26.040 --> 0:37:27.600 NBA he didn't have no job. 0:37:27.680 --> 0:37:29.719 So what when Kobe retired, he return When Kobe got 0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:31.839 to the NBA, he RETI Kobe. 0:37:32.400 --> 0:37:34.760 He was in the NBA maywhere where they made sixty 0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:37.360 two dollars, Well. 0:37:37.200 --> 0:37:38.359 He should have kept twenty four. 0:37:46.040 --> 0:37:49.239 The thing is, Gil, sometimes parents think, will my son 0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:51.359 make it? I'm straight, I'm gonna give him to kick 0:37:51.400 --> 0:37:55.759 my heels up. That's a nice gesture if your son retires, 0:37:56.120 --> 0:38:00.520 parents or grandparents. That was me and my brothers objected, 0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:04.560 but my grandparents would have never done. My grandparents always 0:38:04.600 --> 0:38:07.200 say it when grant I got a I got a baby, 0:38:07.239 --> 0:38:11.080 all right, all right boy, grand I got another? All right, boy, 0:38:11.120 --> 0:38:12.959 you take care of them. That's how she ever said, 0:38:13.239 --> 0:38:16.200 whatever makes you happy because you say if you like it, 0:38:16.239 --> 0:38:17.279 I love it because I ain't got. 0:38:17.200 --> 0:38:21.560 To spend one day with him. Okay, the parents. 0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:24.880 Ain't got to spend no one day with Vanessa. Whether 0:38:24.960 --> 0:38:29.480 they liked her or not. Your like or dislike doesn't 0:38:29.480 --> 0:38:30.800 outweigh Kobe's love. 0:38:32.520 --> 0:38:34.759 That has nothing to do with the love is survival. 0:38:35.520 --> 0:38:37.760 Oh no, I'm just I'm just saying. 0:38:38.160 --> 0:38:42.480 Something calls this break, Gil, something calls this break. 0:38:42.239 --> 0:38:43.040 Yes it did. 0:38:43.239 --> 0:38:45.440 It was Vanessa caused the break, so they had to 0:38:45.480 --> 0:38:48.880 be on the out right. So since there, since they 0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:50.919 were on the out all the stuff that he did 0:38:50.920 --> 0:38:53.200 for them before this break, the house and all that, 0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:55.640 they can't keep up with it. Right, they don't have 0:38:55.680 --> 0:38:58.160 a job. They're in their sixties and seventies. So if 0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:01.279 Kobe was taking care of them, now they're cut off. Now, 0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:04.280 now what did they do to survive? 0:39:04.480 --> 0:39:08.279 The only thing they have this memorerabellion. So if you what. 0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:10.719 They were setting, they were selling it before you were selling. 0:39:10.880 --> 0:39:13.239 Kobe had schools when they got cut off. 0:39:13.760 --> 0:39:16.960 So the first time you winn the first time, Kobe 0:39:17.040 --> 0:39:18.000 the first kill. 0:39:18.120 --> 0:39:21.840 That's not your words, Gill, that's not yours, that's his is. 0:39:21.960 --> 0:39:25.480 So what do you want him to do? I want 0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:28.000 him to give him an ish back? Okay, give you 0:39:28.120 --> 0:39:31.239 ish back. And still the house that we have still does. 0:39:31.239 --> 0:39:32.240 The bills don't get paid. 0:39:32.520 --> 0:39:35.200 So when you see it the first time, when you 0:39:35.320 --> 0:39:37.200 see your parents are selling this the first time for 0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:40.120 money to survive that right. 0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:44.719 There, you should have bought all the stuff out of 0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:47.440 the house. Give it all. We're not going to go 0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:48.439 down this road again. 0:39:48.640 --> 0:39:52.000 It's five hundred thousands a million dollars because I don't 0:39:52.000 --> 0:39:54.680 need some regular person sending it. Because when you guys 0:39:54.719 --> 0:39:57.120 get desperate again for money, what are you gonna do? 0:39:57.560 --> 0:40:01.000 Sell it? Yeah? And then when when when does it stop? 0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:02.319 Once you got all yourself? 0:40:03.320 --> 0:40:08.840 Hey, Because that's what I tell That's what I tell kids. 0:40:09.760 --> 0:40:12.320 Get you get your mom and your grandma, your parents 0:40:12.400 --> 0:40:15.719 a house that they can afford the upkeep. If you 0:40:15.760 --> 0:40:18.120 gotta pay for somebody to cut the grass every week, 0:40:18.160 --> 0:40:19.919 if you gotta pay for somebody to clean the house 0:40:19.960 --> 0:40:21.120 every week, if you gotta. 0:40:21.440 --> 0:40:25.000 Bro what are you doing? What are you doing? 0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:28.200 Your parents don't need a three million dollar crib that 0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:30.359 you gotta have the upkeep, the upkeep on a three 0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:31.359 million dollar year of crib? 0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:31.719 Is what. 0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:36.680 Get you something they can afford the upkeep and keep 0:40:36.680 --> 0:40:42.080 it moving. Now I'm in a different situation. Yeah, But 0:40:42.160 --> 0:40:44.000 at the end of the day, Gill, being a parent 0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:46.480 and you a parent, you know, and what do we 0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:49.279 know about kids? The more you tell them not to 0:40:49.320 --> 0:40:50.919 do something, what they're gonna do it? 0:40:52.520 --> 0:40:53.080 Little do that? 0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:55.640 No, if they were trying to pull them apart, they 0:40:55.760 --> 0:40:57.480 was actually pushing them closer together. 0:40:58.400 --> 0:41:01.000 I don't know if they knew that it wasn't. It 0:41:01.040 --> 0:41:03.040 wasn't a whole bunch of fight on. It was just one. 0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:06.080 It was just one one time. That was it. 0:41:07.280 --> 0:41:09.359 Man, You know that what you know that woman looks. 0:41:10.400 --> 0:41:13.560 The parents got pushed out of the relationship, and that was. 0:41:13.640 --> 0:41:17.400 That was the end of it. There was nothing, that 0:41:17.520 --> 0:41:20.640 was it. There was no I mean, do a part 0:41:20.680 --> 0:41:24.440 of me feel bad, yes, yes, yes, yes, I hate that. 0:41:24.600 --> 0:41:28.360 I hate to seem families bicker. 0:41:29.239 --> 0:41:29.359 Uh. 0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:36.040 I'm fortunate. I'm very fortunate. I'm not married, but my 0:41:36.080 --> 0:41:37.840 mom kind of let me live my life. This is 0:41:37.880 --> 0:41:41.160 what Kobe told ESPN. Our relationship is an ish. I 0:41:41.200 --> 0:41:43.640 say I'm going to buy you a very nice home, 0:41:44.000 --> 0:41:47.399 and the response is that's not good enough. Then you're 0:41:47.440 --> 0:41:53.200 selling my ish about Kobe told ESPN. Our relationship is 0:41:53.239 --> 0:41:55.799 an ish. I say I'm going to buy you a 0:41:55.960 --> 0:41:59.839 very nice home, and the response is that's not good enough. 0:42:01.400 --> 0:42:06.239 So you get ready by your mom and dad. He said, 0:42:06.280 --> 0:42:09.000 you know what, Mom, Dad, I appreciate y'all because y'all 0:42:09.040 --> 0:42:11.080 was great to me.

So I guess somebody 0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:11.279 were recording it and posted it, and somebody said, man, 0:43:11.320 --> 0:43:15.400 I wouldn't want no shoes. I'd have ad for the jersey. 0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:18.240 Think about that. He didn't have to give me anything. 0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:23.680 He gave me a share. He didn't have to give 0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:27.480 me anything. How can you say, if somebody is giving 0:43:27.520 --> 0:43:30.879 you something, they should have given you something else. How 0:43:30.880 --> 0:43:35.279 do you say if somebody is buying you something that's 0:43:35.360 --> 0:43:38.719 not good enough, that's not enough. Now, I'm just saying, 0:43:38.840 --> 0:43:39.680 that's what Kobe said. 0:43:39.719 --> 0:43:40.120 I don't know. 0:43:40.200 --> 0:43:42.799 I wasn't there because let me tell you something else. 0:43:42.800 --> 0:43:46.480 Give people like, oh you gossip it? You do realize 0:43:47.120 --> 0:43:50.120 any time that you sit down with one person and 0:43:50.200 --> 0:43:53.960 the person they're saying something about isn't there to refute 0:43:53.960 --> 0:43:57.600 what they're saying. Is godsip for here saying because you 0:43:57.640 --> 0:44:00.520 weren't there to hear the conversation in his original format, 0:44:00.840 --> 0:44:03.520 So how do you know? So this notion that oh, 0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:07.560 somebody going there gossiping. No, anytime you ask somebody and 0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:10.080 they tell you a story and you weren't there to 0:44:10.160 --> 0:44:12.960 hear it firsthand or the person that they're talking about, 0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:14.640 isn't that to refute, It's gossible. 0:44:15.120 --> 0:44:17.080 So this is what Kobe told is men. 0:44:17.600 --> 0:44:19.640 I don't know if it's true or not, but I'm 0:44:19.719 --> 0:44:23.440 just saying something forced him to feel this type of 0:44:23.440 --> 0:44:26.359 way about his parents, and I don't know, it's hard 0:44:26.400 --> 0:44:30.120 for me to bleeve. It's look, I understand that sometimes 0:44:30.160 --> 0:44:32.680 you know, woman or man can feel some type of way, 0:44:33.200 --> 0:44:33.440 but you. 0:44:33.480 --> 0:44:35.640 Got to be in a relationship with the parents. You 0:44:36.000 --> 0:44:36.960 got to understand that. 0:44:37.640 --> 0:44:39.840 But at the end of the day, no matter the 0:44:39.920 --> 0:44:45.080 fight or not the house they got, if they still 0:44:45.120 --> 0:44:48.680 have that house, right, I don't know if they sold 0:44:48.680 --> 0:44:52.120 the house for money, But just like anything, you buy it, 0:44:52.239 --> 0:44:55.120 you buy someone a house, congratulate, thank you, I appreciate it, 0:44:55.160 --> 0:44:59.880 and you're you're telling me I got to upkeep it myself. 0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:03.960 How if you buy your if you buy your sister 0:45:04.040 --> 0:45:06.520 right now three million dollar house and then tell her 0:45:06.560 --> 0:45:08.640 she has to up keep it herself and you're not 0:45:08.640 --> 0:45:10.560 gonna give her nothing else can she. 0:45:12.360 --> 0:45:12.440 No? 0:45:13.600 --> 0:45:16.480 So, but you know what, my sister better not be 0:45:16.680 --> 0:45:19.120 acting a damn food and talking talking about she cray. 0:45:19.160 --> 0:45:20.879 What I'm saying is if she starts selling your ship 0:45:21.640 --> 0:45:26.200 to cleanse bills around here, you see where I'm going now, 0:45:26.320 --> 0:45:29.200 Like if she's already cut her off and she she's like, 0:45:29.200 --> 0:45:30.879 oh shit, I got to pay the water bills. This 0:45:30.880 --> 0:45:33.319 this this this shen is gonna kick my ass now, 0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:34.399 I gotta start selling some. 0:45:34.360 --> 0:45:36.480 Of this ship in here to pay some of the bills. 0:45:36.520 --> 0:45:40.120 Like, sometimes doing something good for somebody is still putting 0:45:40.120 --> 0:45:42.440 them in a bad situation, and that's where they are. 0:45:42.440 --> 0:45:44.640 They were in a bad situation. I'm pretty sure they 0:45:44.640 --> 0:45:45.640 don't want to sell the ship. 0:45:47.719 --> 0:45:49.440 You got a ring I'm sitting there. 0:45:49.480 --> 0:45:52.160 There's ninety one hundred, two hundred thousand dollars right there 0:45:52.280 --> 0:45:55.080 that we can use today that it's on the shelf. 0:45:58.040 --> 0:46:00.440 They're not part of the mom but not part of 0:46:00.480 --> 0:46:03.520 the Mama legacy. They don't have they don't have the 0:46:03.600 --> 0:46:07.680 three four hundred million dollars they can these shoes. They're 0:46:07.680 --> 0:46:11.240 not getting a percentage of nothing all on the shelf. 0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:14.880 Kobe's legacy. 0:46:15.000 --> 0:46:17.680 She got to be lonely because I mean, think about it, 0:46:17.760 --> 0:46:20.640 like the grandparents on one side. You remember her mom 0:46:20.760 --> 0:46:23.800 tried to see her, So the parents on hers. I 0:46:23.800 --> 0:46:25.600 don't know if her daddy's in her life or anything 0:46:25.640 --> 0:46:27.920 like that, but the mom on one side tried to 0:46:27.920 --> 0:46:30.280 see her. The in laws on the other side selling 0:46:30.320 --> 0:46:32.719 your husband's stuff, and so you don't have a relationship, 0:46:32.960 --> 0:46:34.600 so you're kind of like isolated. 0:46:34.640 --> 0:46:35.759 I mean, I don't know. 0:46:35.840 --> 0:46:37.480 I don't know if she has any brothers and sisters, 0:46:37.480 --> 0:46:39.040 So I don't know that kind of relationship. 0:46:39.080 --> 0:46:40.120 So I don't want to speak to that. 0:46:40.600 --> 0:46:42.680 But I know it's hard for me to believe that 0:46:42.719 --> 0:46:45.120 she has a relationship with a mom when a mom 0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:47.800 tried to sue. I don't know anybody that has a 0:46:47.840 --> 0:46:49.799 relationship with a family member after you tried to sue 0:46:49.840 --> 0:46:52.360 it you if it to get you, if it to 0:46:52.400 --> 0:46:52.759 get Yoah. 0:46:52.960 --> 0:46:54.520 But gil, let me tell you a funny story. 0:46:54.600 --> 0:46:57.040 Like when my brother went went went to the league 0:46:57.080 --> 0:46:58.840 and we were living and we were living in the house. 0:46:59.239 --> 0:47:01.640 My grandma said, well, you know, we ain't gotta move. 0:47:01.680 --> 0:47:05.840 You can fix this up. Granted it's a thousand square 0:47:05.880 --> 0:47:12.280 foot send a block, no paneling, a tin roof, fix 0:47:12.440 --> 0:47:16.960 up what? But you see how Mia was thinking. She 0:47:17.160 --> 0:47:19.960 always thought, she like, well, what happened? Did we have 0:47:20.040 --> 0:47:22.120 to come back? That was her biggest fear. 0:47:22.680 --> 0:47:25.520 That was my greatest motivation to make sure she never 0:47:25.600 --> 0:47:26.319 had to go back. 0:47:28.920 --> 0:47:31.239 I just you know, look like I said, Yeah, I've 0:47:31.239 --> 0:47:33.600 been blessed. I've been very fortunate. I got a brother, 0:47:33.719 --> 0:47:38.200 got a sister, and we are close. When I say 0:47:38.239 --> 0:47:41.360 we're close. Now, don't get me wrong, we disagree. You 0:47:41.480 --> 0:47:48.160 damn right, we disagree, but we're close, close, close, and 0:47:48.239 --> 0:47:52.120 so and then my mom, she's my only parents that 0:47:52.200 --> 0:47:54.160 still hear. My dad died a long time ago, and 0:47:54.200 --> 0:47:56.719 then my grandpa. My grandmother passed in twenty eleven. But 0:47:56.800 --> 0:48:04.960 we're close. I couldn't imagine. I just couldn't. I couldn't. 0:48:05.000 --> 0:48:08.560 I couldn't imagine. It's beyond the realm of my comprehension 0:48:08.920 --> 0:48:13.160 because knowing how close we were growing up, and knowing 0:48:13.200 --> 0:48:16.279 that my mom did all that she could, even though 0:48:16.280 --> 0:48:19.440 she was in Chicago. She made sure for Birthday and 0:48:19.520 --> 0:48:22.520 Christmas and holidays and events that she could get there. 0:48:22.560 --> 0:48:25.239 She got there, and my grandmother did everything that she 0:48:25.320 --> 0:48:29.279 possibly could. I couldn't imagine being that way with my Well, 0:48:29.840 --> 0:48:32.440 I can imagine being that way with in laws, but 0:48:32.480 --> 0:48:34.600 I could imagine being that way with my own thing. 0:48:34.880 --> 0:48:37.400 But what happens is you never you never had to go. 0:48:37.480 --> 0:48:40.000 They his parents probably never thought the same way until 0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:42.120 a girl got him. See, a girl got involved with you, 0:48:42.360 --> 0:48:44.279 and your mom said, I don't think it should marry her, 0:48:45.320 --> 0:48:48.359 and then you marry anyway. Now that that girl is saying, hey, 0:48:48.440 --> 0:48:50.319 I don't like your mom, and I don't want nothing to. 0:48:50.239 --> 0:48:52.520 Do with your mom. Now that pushed the wedge between 0:48:52.560 --> 0:48:56.239 you and your mom. It's not you too, it's your 0:48:56.280 --> 0:48:59.160 new wives. And that's where the problem becomes. 0:48:59.239 --> 0:48:59.640 Right. 0:49:00.960 --> 0:49:03.160 You probably you probably you probably should have kept that 0:49:03.200 --> 0:49:03.800 to yourself. 0:49:04.200 --> 0:49:07.200 Well, son, hey, if you happy, you ain't Gil. You 0:49:07.200 --> 0:49:10.520 know if you happy, So that's what makes you happy? 0:49:10.680 --> 0:49:12.839 You know all of my Lord, please have merchant watch 0:49:12.880 --> 0:49:15.040 a boy son. I mean, you think one thing, but 0:49:15.120 --> 0:49:19.640 you say something else, Gil, because you know, because knowing 0:49:20.280 --> 0:49:24.360 if if they're in love as much as you believe 0:49:24.440 --> 0:49:27.120 they are, you know, he gonna go back. 0:49:27.000 --> 0:49:30.360 And tell you that you kill You know that? 0:49:30.480 --> 0:49:30.600 Now? 0:49:31.280 --> 0:49:36.120 Yeah, it was okay, And he ain't got no reason 0:49:36.120 --> 0:49:39.000 to lie. Those are his parents. Why would he make 0:49:39.040 --> 0:49:41.240 up a fallacy about his parents or what they said? 0:49:42.760 --> 0:49:45.880 So now I might have been feeling some type. Well, 0:49:45.920 --> 0:49:48.640 I know, I Vanessa was seventeen, and you know, hey, 0:49:48.760 --> 0:49:51.520 you're seventeen. You're like Covid. Probably you never really had 0:49:51.560 --> 0:49:56.600 a real girlfriend. Maybe did, maybe didn't, but that's seventeen. 0:49:56.760 --> 0:50:00.640 The newness of it. You're like, this ain't gonna last. Well, 0:50:01.719 --> 0:50:02.879 and they inseparable? 0:50:03.280 --> 0:50:07.600 Well, I mean you hit you hit the problem right 0:50:07.640 --> 0:50:09.600 there without realizing it. 0:50:12.320 --> 0:50:16.279 Gil, yep, And the thing was, Gil, I guess and 0:50:16.320 --> 0:50:18.719 guess what. He had a tone of vision, He had 0:50:18.719 --> 0:50:22.560 a singular focus. He found someone that could understand his 0:50:22.640 --> 0:50:25.360 singular focus. We heard Braun to say, you got to 0:50:25.400 --> 0:50:27.640 sacrifice a lot of time with loved ones. 0:50:27.400 --> 0:50:30.239 To be great. Man. 0:50:30.840 --> 0:50:34.480 He found that person that understood and and could say, 0:50:34.520 --> 0:50:38.680 you know, hey, go go be great and we'll be 0:50:38.800 --> 0:50:43.320 and I'll be here, and hey, everybody, everybody, everybody. 0:50:42.960 --> 0:50:43.640 Could have did it. 0:50:43.960 --> 0:50:46.000 People are, oh, oh, I could be Savannah James. No 0:50:46.080 --> 0:50:49.040 you could, No, you know you couldn't. Well I be 0:50:49.160 --> 0:50:54.200 with you couldn't know you couldn't. Everybody could always say 0:50:54.560 --> 0:50:56.959 after the fact. But I'm sure there are some times 0:50:57.080 --> 0:50:58.840 matter like, I don't know this is, this is, it 0:50:58.920 --> 0:51:01.440 might not be for me. And that's somebody said the 0:51:01.480 --> 0:51:04.960 exact same thing. But kudos for them for hanging out there. 0:51:05.280 --> 0:51:12.480 But Mi, Guil, I don't know, Gil, I don't know. 0:51:15.920 --> 0:51:17.600 I guess that's why you and I ain't married.
