Speaker 1: you guys, Gil, thank you for joining us. Tonight. The
Speaker 1: Sels beat the Bucks without Yiannis one to one, nineteen Gil,
Speaker 1: what were some of your takeaway from this.
Speaker 4: Game, It seems like Bucks are so comfortable, like Dame
Speaker 4: seems so comfortable without Giannis see which is a bad
Speaker 4: Which is which is bad because that's his whole career
Speaker 4: has been playing without you know, that type of player. Right,
Speaker 4: So going to the playoffs in the last month, they
Speaker 4: need to finally get their chemistry together because right now
Speaker 4: they don't have chemistry. Right, They're gonna win the games
Speaker 4: they won. They won off They're just a.
Speaker 2: Good team Boston.
Speaker 4: The biggest flaw is they stand around a lot playing
Speaker 4: ice or basketball.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: Right when one has the ball, the other star just
Speaker 4: sits there.
Speaker 2: In the deep corner, you know, waiting for.
Speaker 4: The ball to come around to his his area so
Speaker 4: then he can play one on one. That's how they
Speaker 4: lost to Miami, and they would not beat Denver playing
Speaker 4: that type of basketball.
Speaker 1: When you look at it, Boston shot twenty nine free throws,
Speaker 1: the Bucks shot fourteen, and it was and they're one
Speaker 1: point where I think the Celtics ran up the score
Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen, maybe even nineteen points, but they were never
Speaker 1: able to put the Bucks away. The Bucks come back
Speaker 1: and wheel it down. And I agree with what you
Speaker 1: said about Giannis, and I think the thing is with Dame.
Speaker 1: Dame is so used and so comfortable without playing with
Speaker 1: a super super mega superstar.
Speaker 2: That he's like, Okay, I'm just back in Portland. This
Speaker 2: ain't nothing to me.
Speaker 1: I'm used to having a supporting cast and I get
Speaker 1: to do my things. I'm gonna run guys, I pick,
Speaker 1: i gonna put guys in the pick and roll. They're
Speaker 1: gonna get me the ball and I can do my thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The concern that I have is that, look, we understand
Speaker 1: what Yianni sells.
Speaker 2: It goes without saying.
Speaker 1: In playoff the game is gonna come down to clutch
Speaker 1: time the last five minutes the game within five points.
Speaker 1: Who should have the ball in their hands versus who
Speaker 1: will have the ball in their hand killed? Those are
Speaker 1: two Those are totally two different questions with two different arguments.
Speaker 4: Yeah, at this point in time, I mean, I hope
Speaker 4: everyone's smart enough to know that Dame needs the ball.
Speaker 2: At the end of the game.
Speaker 4: He needs to be making all the plays, making all
Speaker 4: the decisions.
Speaker 2: It's no different than Kobe and Shaq. Yeah, Shack, we.
Speaker 4: Know you're dominant, just not at this point because we
Speaker 4: don't need you to get fouled unless you are making
Speaker 4: free throws at a high rate in that game. Other
Speaker 4: than that, we don't want you shooting free throws. That
Speaker 4: benefits the other team that you're going to free throw line.
Speaker 4: But what you're gonna need, and you've seen it today,
Speaker 4: you're gonna need free throw TIMPs. So what ends up
Speaker 4: happening is you're gonna need Giannis into the offense. Uh
Speaker 4: at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Yeah, so he
Speaker 4: team into the penalty rhythm. Yeah, he has to do
Speaker 4: his Everyone has to do their part understanding their roles,
Speaker 4: and until they get that, they're gonna you know, it's
Speaker 4: gonna be one of those you know, win a game,
Speaker 4: lose a game, win two games, lose two games.
Speaker 2: I don't see them. I don't see them getting out.
Speaker 4: Of the East just because I don't see that. Their
Speaker 4: chemistry is not gonna be there. Middleton just coming back,
Speaker 4: Gianni's is not there. When they all three get together,
Speaker 4: they gotta find in that rhythm.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought Chris Middleton looked really, really good tonight. They
Speaker 1: didn't get much out of Jake Crowder play fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: They didn't get much out of Elik Beasley play twenty
Speaker 1: six minutes between those guys, Oh, between those guys in
Speaker 1: Brook Lopez, you only got what twenty one points you need.
Speaker 1: You need more than that from your starters, especially with
Speaker 1: Dame doing what he did. Chris Middleton played really well
Speaker 1: only thirty three minutes tonight. Bobby ports Is Bobby Porters
Speaker 1: off the bench gave you a double double twenty four
Speaker 1: and ten. But you need more. You If y'anis is
Speaker 1: gonna be out, let's just add I don't know how
Speaker 1: long he's gonna be out, but you're gonna probably need
Speaker 1: thirty five points between those three guys. Now, how do
Speaker 1: you want to dive it up? Because Dame is gonna
Speaker 1: give you Dame numbers. If Chris Middleton's gonna give you twenty,
Speaker 1: Bobby Bobby Porter is gonna give you what he gives
Speaker 1: you off the bench. I can't have three guys playing
Speaker 1: those kind of minutes giving me twenty one points gain.
Speaker 2: I can't. Now.
Speaker 4: Now now we've seen, we see what the three amigos
Speaker 4: look like. See the three amigos for Dame is him,
Speaker 4: Bobby and Middleton.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: The ones that suffer is Lopez, Beasley, Crowder when.
Speaker 2: Yannisystem to stop me, Yannis, you need Brook Lopez man
Speaker 2: to be in the lane. You need Crowders man.
Speaker 4: To be in the lane, and that's how they get
Speaker 4: their open shots right right.
Speaker 2: So it's one of those.
Speaker 4: Both teams got to set a three that they're a
Speaker 4: three migos, So you got to figure out how all
Speaker 4: of those guys can play well together.
Speaker 2: I just think, look, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: I look at it like when we played whether I
Speaker 1: win or lose, I was trying to gather as much
Speaker 1: information as I possibly can, just in case I had
Speaker 1: to see this team down the road, because I so
Speaker 1: I wanted to see, in certain situations down in distance
Speaker 1: how they played me, because I realized they're gonna play
Speaker 1: me different than they play any other tight end.
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to gather as much information.
Speaker 1: Five catches for fifty yards, ten catches for one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty yards, it didn't matter. I'm trying to gather.
Speaker 1: It's much information as I can win or lose. I
Speaker 1: think the Buck looking at this says, look, guys, look
Speaker 1: how they shot the three and they got a bunch
Speaker 1: of them up. We know they're gonna get a bunch
Speaker 1: of threes up. But we were right there. Now, Yannis book,
Speaker 1: y'alln's gonna get thirty eighteen. I don't give damn what
Speaker 1: you do, Boston. You can't stop that he getting thirty eighteen.
Speaker 1: The question is, can Dame give me twenty seven.
Speaker 2: Thirty for the sea for the whole series? But yes,
Speaker 2: he's gonna have to be there. Nah. Now, well you
Speaker 2: know how you say you collect information? Yes, well that's docs.
Speaker 2: That's Doc's weakness.
Speaker 4: Oh lord, because no, because exactly what you said you said.
Speaker 2: They're looking at this game and say we didn't have Giannis.
Speaker 4: That is his gonna that's his speech in that locker
Speaker 4: room as we speak. Hey, you know, guys, we kept
Speaker 4: fighting back. We played hard. Uh you know we didn't
Speaker 4: have Gianni's today.
Speaker 2: Look what we did. We put them on the bricks
Speaker 2: they made this week? Did that wo?
Speaker 4: And then play them exactly the same and damn way
Speaker 4: the very next game he doesn't adjust well because he
Speaker 4: makes up an.
Speaker 2: Excuse for why they lost.
Speaker 4: So he's okay with we fought hard, instead of going
Speaker 4: in there and saying we didn't do this, well, we
Speaker 4: need to clean this up.
Speaker 2: We need to clean this up.
Speaker 4: And then go into the next game with a different
Speaker 4: game plan. He's gonna go into the same the next
Speaker 4: game with the same exact game plan and wonder why
Speaker 4: he can't win.
Speaker 1: Around Well, how about this even if Dame does it well,
Speaker 1: because if Dame, look, I need to get somewhere between
Speaker 1: fifty five and sixty five points between Dami and Jannis
Speaker 1: because I can't because I can't count on the other
Speaker 1: three starters to give me twenty five to thirty. So
Speaker 1: I need at least I need at least that because
Speaker 1: if Dame gives you less than twenty, can I expect
Speaker 1: Beasley to have a game where he goes for twenty five?
Speaker 1: Can I expect crowded and have a game? Well, he
Speaker 1: goes for twenty five. Now, uh, Lopez low Pez, you
Speaker 1: know he he's semissed. I mean they've been games. He
Speaker 1: goes twelve or fourteen, makes four eight from the three,
Speaker 1: so he can give you twenty. The X factor is
Speaker 1: gonna be Chris Middleton because you know, come playoff time,
Speaker 1: deal them. Games happen every other day. Ain't no two
Speaker 1: days rest ain't no. The biggest risk you'll get is
Speaker 1: between games two and three, gotta travel. You get a
Speaker 1: couple of extra days and then boom you back up.
Speaker 1: So if if if Joannis and Dame do what they
Speaker 1: do and Middleton can give me twenty, I like their
Speaker 1: chances because Bobby Porters is gonna give me some Gonna
Speaker 1: give me fifteen to twenty off the bench.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you a hole. Yeah.
Speaker 4: When it comes to playoffs, it's a little different because
Speaker 4: you get that playbook on. You get that playbook, you
Speaker 4: know exactly what everyone does.
Speaker 2: It's you know, actually what you do. We know when
Speaker 2: Giannis goes left, his passing.
Speaker 4: Percentage is ten percent, so we're gonna push him left
Speaker 4: knowing that he don't pass the ball going left, he's
Speaker 4: gonna take that shot right. So all of that is
Speaker 4: gonna be put into it. So you do need a
Speaker 4: Bobby Porters.
Speaker 1: We just need one game of you being good, right, Lopez,
Speaker 1: We just need one game of you.
Speaker 2: Being good, and that's you the playoffs do.
Speaker 4: So you'll take your three guys right, and you say,
Speaker 4: all right, we have Jannis, Middleton and Dame between.
Speaker 2: The three of you.
Speaker 4: This is how we need at least sixty points from
Speaker 4: the three of you. Everybody else chip in. We're expecting
Speaker 4: out of the other five players. One of you guys
Speaker 4: have fifteen to twenty five one game. Just be great
Speaker 4: for one game, and that's how the series goes. You
Speaker 4: just gotta be great for one game during the season.
Speaker 4: Now if you want to have three or four games
Speaker 4: and help us get out of this series.
Speaker 2: Right, But for the most part, you're not.
Speaker 4: Expecting your bench to be dominant like that because it's
Speaker 4: a four game series. So people are getting cut off
Speaker 4: and it's basically stars being stars.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna need Listen, I'm gonna need the Bucks,
Speaker 1: Big Three, Middleton, Johannis, and and and Dame. They gotta
Speaker 1: give me at least seventy because I know John is
Speaker 1: gonna give me thirty.
Speaker 2: So if Dame Dame Dame gonna.
Speaker 1: Give me twenty five, so can can Middleton give me
Speaker 1: somewhere between fifteen and twenty? On a nightly basis hell
Speaker 1: playing thirty playing thirty to thirty five minutes, I think he.
Speaker 2: Can give you fifteen. It all depends on what team
Speaker 2: you guys are playing. First.
Speaker 4: If you're playing Miami, right, uh, it needs to be
Speaker 4: switched around, and Joannis needs to be at about twenty
Speaker 4: to twenty five.
Speaker 1: Uh, y'all is gonna get you twenty twenty five, you
Speaker 1: lose it. If if y'all is scoring twenty twenty five points,
Speaker 1: you losing. Unless Dame goes, hey, why give you four?
Speaker 2: To you? But y'all just can't give you. He has
Speaker 2: to give you that.
Speaker 4: No, if he gives you, if he gives you thirty,
Speaker 4: if he gives you thirty thirty five, that means he's
Speaker 4: playing into Miami's defense.
Speaker 2: Be selfish. We that's why he can't beat them, because
Speaker 2: that defense.
Speaker 4: Is designed to cut off everybody else and just let
Speaker 4: you score.
Speaker 2: So he is gonna have to become a passer.
Speaker 4: Just for that series. He's gonna have to let everybody eat.
Speaker 4: And he beat a decoy some of these playoff games.
Speaker 4: Just like a receiver, right, sometimes you gotta be a decoy,
Speaker 4: run your route hard to make everybody look and then
Speaker 4: we're going, we're going, we're gonna beat up on this
Speaker 4: side a little bit.
Speaker 2: Right, he's never learned. He thinks he can just I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get it this year. I'm gonna get it this year.
Speaker 2: They you know, they've been playing me great, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: keep it. That's not how it is. They have you.
Speaker 4: They have your number, and the number they have is
Speaker 4: you trying to score thirty thirty five, and if you
Speaker 4: score thirty thirty five, your team loses.
Speaker 2: If he scored fifteen to twenty five, your team wins.
Speaker 2: Pick it. He's never picked a fifteen to twenty five.
Speaker 1: Well, they do a good job. They got Bam, and
Speaker 1: Bam does a good job. Obviously they're gonna help some.
Speaker 1: But Bam does a good job of defending him. But
Speaker 1: I think now you can't load up on it because
Speaker 1: they've never had to defend somebody like thing that was
Speaker 1: running a riding shot gun with it. So them loading
Speaker 1: up trying to build that wall. Okay, yeah, look, we
Speaker 1: know he's gonna get one to two charges of the
Speaker 1: game because he gets in his mind like i'mt my head,
Speaker 1: I'm going to the rim down. But he's never had
Speaker 1: a guy like Dave as great as Holiday was. He
Speaker 1: ain't dame on the offensive end, And so I think
Speaker 1: that's that's where they could The Bucks has an advantage
Speaker 1: this time around it if they were to meet because
Speaker 1: the Celtics are eleven clear of Milwaukee, they're fifty five
Speaker 1: and fourteen. Milwaukee is forty four and twenty five. There's
Speaker 1: only a six game. There's only six games separating two three.
Speaker 1: It means Miami's in the eight seed and a slot
Speaker 1: thirty eight and thirty one, and Milwaukee is in the
Speaker 1: two spot forty four, twenty five.
Speaker 4: And you know, and the team that's in the seventh
Speaker 4: and the eighth. They had trouble with both.
Speaker 1: Of them because it looked Indian ain't looking to play
Speaker 1: no defense, make miss out of bound foul.
Speaker 2: They look at to put well, I.
Speaker 4: Mean, in the playoffs that place like that play to
Speaker 4: the Bucks. You know, everyone's gonna look at old man Indiana.
Speaker 4: Is the playoffs right, and the playoffs the game naturally
Speaker 4: just slows down.
Speaker 2: It becomes a little tougher.
Speaker 4: You know, those those reps really really so you.
Speaker 2: Know they play to the stars. So Indy where Indian
Speaker 2: got it.
Speaker 4: Indiana's going to be at a disadvantage in the playoffs
Speaker 4: against the Bucks even though their their their record in
Speaker 4: regular season it has been dominant against them.
Speaker 1: Okay, your time, Pride. Next segment, it's called a NewsCap.
Speaker 1: Let's see what the NewsCap brings for today. Anthony Davis
Speaker 1: admits every game is a playoff game for the Lakers,
Speaker 1: Ad said, Bron is Ron. Obviously it's time for It's
Speaker 1: that time of the year, shooting the ball extremely well,
Speaker 1: in a tag mode, finding guys. He's been locked in defensively.
Speaker 1: So it's this time of year, especially for us, where
Speaker 1: every game is a playoff game, so the time of
Speaker 1: year extensively locked in and get the job done.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: We see what there. We see them go on the
Speaker 1: road and beat Boston without Lebron. We see them at
Speaker 1: home beat Milwaukee without Lebron. We see them win some games,
Speaker 1: but then we see Ad gets hurt and then they
Speaker 1: blow it. Had they had a big lead against the
Speaker 1: against the Warrior and end up losing on Saturday.
Speaker 2: Do the Lakers have another gear.
Speaker 1: That they can get to like last year, that can
Speaker 1: get them to the Western Conference Finals? Uh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, they do. It's all depending on Lebron. It's Lebron's.
Speaker 4: It's it's Lebron's next gear.
Speaker 2: That that's it.
Speaker 4: It ain't the Lakers next year, it's Lebron's the next gear.
Speaker 4: He's gonna carry the load. You know, He's gonna come
Speaker 4: out and try to turn it up a notch.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: It just made me laugh that this is playoffs for
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis.
Speaker 2: But he went out with a high injury.
Speaker 1: Man that man elbow, the man, I was right there.
Speaker 1: He he got, he got hit hard. I mean, I
Speaker 1: know you can't hard. You can't really tell because you know,
Speaker 1: he kind of got like like googly eyes. Anyway, but
Speaker 1: he got he took a good shot.
Speaker 2: He took it.
Speaker 4: He took he took a good shot to that. I
Speaker 4: mean he came back with twenty five and you and fifteen.
Speaker 4: It's all positioning. Now, it's all positioned at this point
Speaker 4: right now, where where the tense. So we'll play let's
Speaker 4: say Golden State, and at the end season game, we
Speaker 4: will beat them, right, that's gonna be.
Speaker 2: We're just gonna hit the.
Speaker 4: Glass and a d and Lebron attack the rim because
Speaker 4: they don't know how to defend the rim at this point,
Speaker 4: they're not gonna shoot they free throws. Then we're gonna
Speaker 4: play what between Dallas and uh South Phoenix Phoenix.
Speaker 2: And then if we get that eighth seed, oh sure,
Speaker 2: oh you got shape.
Speaker 1: Oh if they if they get okay, feed he'll beat
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, Yes, sir, yes, they'll be beat You've.
Speaker 4: Beat okay, see and then you now you have the
Speaker 4: number one slot, which means you play four five, which
Speaker 4: four five is Pelicans or the Clippers. If you get
Speaker 4: the Clippers for the Lakers, that that is amazing because one,
Speaker 4: you don't have to leave. Two, that's a Laker crowd
Speaker 4: on both sides. The only time it turns in the
Speaker 4: Clipper crowd is if the Clippers is winning in the
Speaker 4: last four or five minutes, then their their fans says
Speaker 4: is engaged.
Speaker 2: Other than that, it's damn near a Laker.
Speaker 4: Game all seven all seven games, and then you get
Speaker 4: Denver in the.
Speaker 1: Western Conference and hopefully you know they're beat up by then.
Speaker 1: If not, well you see you next year. Yeah, because man,
Speaker 1: the live the last five minutes. Man, that two main
Speaker 1: game with Yok and Murray either dribble, hand off the
Speaker 1: pick and roll or Murray breaks you down and then
Speaker 1: he hits Michael Porter Jr. And he hadn't been missing
Speaker 1: lately for that three ball. Yoki's gonna be Yoke.
Speaker 2: You can see.
Speaker 1: You can see He's like, well, damn, because who did
Speaker 1: they play the Maverick? No, who did they play the
Speaker 1: other night they played? Who did they play?
Speaker 2: Last night? They played? Timber Wolves?
Speaker 1: Timberwolves Timberwolves said, you know what, we're gonna let you score.
Speaker 1: We ain't gonna let you We're not gonna let you
Speaker 1: get twenty six and fifteen sists. So we're gonna neutralize
Speaker 1: some of the Okay, I'll drop thirty five and sixteen
Speaker 1: on your hands with three of this.
Speaker 2: And then you got Michael Porter Jr.
Speaker 1: He got to going late in the fourth and then
Speaker 1: he couldn't miss, and then they ended up hope they
Speaker 1: they end up helding off for Minnesota, even though a
Speaker 1: man had a great look at a three to send
Speaker 1: the game in the overtime. But that's the thing with
Speaker 1: the Nuggets that the last five minutes they make you
Speaker 1: execute every possession because they execute every present they get.
Speaker 1: They get every every shot that they want. They ain't
Speaker 1: taking no bad shots.
Speaker 2: And even when the clock's running down it you think
Speaker 2: it's a bad shot for Yo.
Speaker 1: When he's stepping back off one foot throwing it up there,
Speaker 1: you can't see the ball, it's a great shot for him.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 4: I think the last five minutes Lakers need to switch
Speaker 4: their offense. Yes, you want the ball on the bronze hands,
Speaker 4: but it seems like when we're playing them that's where
Speaker 4: we lose the game, right, It's the it's the execution
Speaker 4: of the last five minutes. I I think that we
Speaker 4: should be playing Dlo and Davis.
Speaker 5: No, you need to play pick and roll in two
Speaker 5: man game like Murray and Kick and then have Lebron
Speaker 5: and that dunker spot lob spot.
Speaker 2: So if you're trying to help on eighties roll, you
Speaker 2: have Lebron James.
Speaker 4: On the backside ducking in and coming to the because
Speaker 4: for the most part, if he can't get to the lane,
Speaker 4: he's gonna do a step back.
Speaker 2: Three, which you don't need heat.
Speaker 4: Checks the last five minutes, right, and then you don't
Speaker 4: you don't really need no bomb passes where he's trying
Speaker 4: something he don't have it. Then he throw the reeves.
Speaker 4: Reeves just shuck that three up. So it seemed like
Speaker 4: it'd be more a better, a better type of offense
Speaker 4: if you have Lebron playing like Gordon in the last
Speaker 4: five minutes, where because it's Lebron on the backside, we
Speaker 4: really actually have to pay attention to him, and.
Speaker 2: That that's how we beat That's what we beat.
Speaker 4: The Golden State Last year. When Lebron was picked, he
Speaker 4: was the picker he was playing slash and cutting because
Speaker 4: playing for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah put put put uh del and Lebron the pick
Speaker 1: because Lebron to you don't.
Speaker 4: Like Lebron because uh because I need unless Lebron is
Speaker 4: unless Lebron is diving, I need the Anthony dive and
Speaker 4: I need Anthony Davis.
Speaker 2: Who's gonna if they switch it. Anthony Davis is posting
Speaker 2: up against the.
Speaker 4: Little guy, so now he can just shoot over him, Like,
Speaker 4: I like that idea better.
Speaker 2: You know him and Lebron.
Speaker 4: Lebron's gonna step step back and then that's gonna.
Speaker 2: End up turning into a jumper. Yeah, I don't nah, no,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 1: Draymond Green says Kyrie Irban is the most skilled player
Speaker 1: in NBA history. Dre said there's actually nothing you can
Speaker 1: do to stop Kyrie from scoring. You just try to
Speaker 1: do all you can to make it tough, make a
Speaker 1: tough shot, and live with the results. Dame Little tweeted
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irvan is the most skilled player in NBA history,
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, I'm not sure who can argue against that.
Speaker 1: The things that Kyrie, if capable of, are unreal. Bugy
Speaker 1: Cousin says, also, Kyrie Irban is the most skill, is
Speaker 1: more skill than Kobe. I might put him over cold,
Speaker 1: and I gotta put I have to got to put
Speaker 1: him over cold that MOFO five or level posting them up.
Speaker 4: I can, I can, I can, I can argue against it, okay, argue.
Speaker 4: The question is what is what?
Speaker 2: What is? What is skilled? I guess you're talking about
Speaker 2: ability to handle the ball game? Finish.
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a it's a it's a
Speaker 1: skill to be as small as he is can finish
Speaker 1: at the ri You.
Speaker 4: Can't use height to to to determine if you can finish.
Speaker 4: Either you can finish or you can't. So if he
Speaker 4: can finish at the rim, he can finish.
Speaker 2: At the rim.
Speaker 1: You don't think there's a skill to be able to
Speaker 1: do this and kiss it off the glass up under here,
Speaker 1: or spin or spin it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all skilled. So yah. So the question is.
Speaker 4: How many categories are we putting in the skilled department?
Speaker 2: Right? How many categories there? From there? You look through
Speaker 2: history and see who who checks off?
Speaker 4: Because Larry Bird was skilled, was filled, Jordan was skilled,
Speaker 4: Windy is skilled.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: So when we're talking like I think everyone just sees
Speaker 4: the flashiness, and that's what yt are skilled.
Speaker 2: And he's the most skilled.
Speaker 4: Player because of how his array of moves, which is
Speaker 4: only unlocked because of the rule calling.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 4: But when we're talking about skill offensive, least skilled posting up,
Speaker 4: mid range, passing, dribbling, lay a package, dunk package.
Speaker 2: Right, there's there's there's at least five.
Speaker 4: To seven boxes that you have to check these players off.
Speaker 2: And you know, there's a lot of very skilled players.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for the most part, they can't dribble at a
Speaker 4: level ten, but some.
Speaker 2: Of them are at eight to nine.
Speaker 4: There's things that Hyrie is an eight to nine at
Speaker 4: that people are attend in for Wimby. Winby dribbling is
Speaker 4: a ten for big men. So what can he do
Speaker 4: that Winby can do?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: I think looking to three, he's throwing it between people legs.
Speaker 2: He's doing like you know what I mean. So his
Speaker 2: skill level is very high too.
Speaker 4: So right now, it's just the flashiness of the dribble
Speaker 4: that there can.
Speaker 2: Gil.
Speaker 1: I honestly think people when they say skill, they think
Speaker 1: they just look at the offensive side. So I think
Speaker 1: we're just gonna put it in an offensive bucket. I
Speaker 1: think they look at his handles his ability to handle,
Speaker 1: his ability to finish with either hand equally as well
Speaker 1: his ability to shoot the ball from three, to shoot
Speaker 1: the ball from the mid range. He's on pace to
Speaker 1: deal another fifty forty ninety. I think only two guys
Speaker 1: have ever had two seasons with that, and that's Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1: Lad Bird has had a fifty forty ninety. I think
Speaker 1: Dirk Nbisky's had a fifty forty ninety. Steph Curry's had
Speaker 1: a fifty forty ninety. Kyrie Irvan is on pace to
Speaker 1: have another fifty forty ninety. And so you look at him,
Speaker 1: he's a three level scorer. He got the three, he
Speaker 1: has the mid range. Obviously, he has the layoup package
Speaker 1: from either side with either hand.
Speaker 2: I got to update you five level.
Speaker 1: With it over five, so he gets free thrown.
Speaker 4: So three levels is lay up mid range in three
Speaker 4: three five levels is the ability to post stuff and
Speaker 4: the ability of logo ISOs.
Speaker 2: So yes, he is considered five levels.
Speaker 4: So like someone like Curry is only a three level
Speaker 4: because he don't post stuff and he don't iso right.
Speaker 2: So there is different tiers you to basketball.
Speaker 4: But you know when when you just say offensively, then
Speaker 4: Larry Bird two right, play your whole game, scored forty
Speaker 4: something with his left hand said, I'm too bored to night.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be I'm gonna be left. I gotta stay
Speaker 4: it right for the Lakers. So you know it's it's
Speaker 4: to really say who is and just stand on it.
Speaker 4: Let we got to put it in categories, all right, dribbling,
Speaker 4: give it a rating, drip, shooting, mid range, shooting this, this, this,
Speaker 4: and then go from there and see who is actually
Speaker 4: the best. Pirie is the best dribbler ten right.
Speaker 2: Moves creating him and Kobe right, James Harden.
Speaker 1: I think people forgot about Jay when Jane was it
Speaker 1: had that had that like that five six year stretch
Speaker 1: Gil but that man, people say, people saying he better
Speaker 1: scored than Geordie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean people, Yeah, I mean the dude.
Speaker 1: He had what he had like thirty some games, well
Speaker 1: thirty some games where he had at least thirty pours
Speaker 1: a game and he was getting sixty point triple doubles.
Speaker 1: He get fifty point triple doubles, I mean, and he
Speaker 1: had developed that step back.
Speaker 2: It wasn't nothing you can do with it. It's like
Speaker 2: he's one of nine. Kyrie is one of the most
Speaker 2: skilled players that's walked through the league, best dribbler by far.
Speaker 4: So you know, but when we're when we're talking about
Speaker 4: who is the most skillful, you know, there's there's more
Speaker 4: attributes to the game than dribbling in.
Speaker 2: The flash part of it. Right, Like Steve what is
Speaker 2: what can he do better than Steve Nash has dribbled?
Speaker 2: I mean can he be? I mean, yeah, he has
Speaker 2: a better finishing package.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, Steve Nash shoots the mid range, better
Speaker 4: shoot the three, better pass better, right, so you see,
Speaker 4: I wins here, he wins here. So it depends on
Speaker 4: what we're using. Okay, speaking to.
Speaker 1: Kobe, Gil, you defended Kobe Bryant's parents for selling his
Speaker 1: championship ring. Gill, you said, you can't be mad at
Speaker 1: the parents on this one. They broke they got no money.
Speaker 1: You can't be mad because they're selling the rings. The
Speaker 1: money wasn't left to them. They tried to eat. Kobe
Speaker 1: gave his father, Joe, his very first championship ring. Joe
Speaker 1: and Pamela didn't attend a couple's weddings when Kobe mad Vanessa.
Speaker 1: Kobe parents did not attend the wedding in two thousand
Speaker 1: and one. Over the years, there have been a brief
Speaker 1: reconciliation were documented, but that came to a halt in
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. When you give and they take, That's what
Speaker 1: I said. Givers must put limits on what they give,
Speaker 1: because takers will never put limits on what they take.
Speaker 1: This is what Kobe said. When you give, give and
Speaker 1: they take take, At what point do you draw the
Speaker 1: line in the sand? Kobe tweeted with hashtag heard beyond measure,
Speaker 1: gave me no warning.
Speaker 2: And finally love.
Speaker 1: Now. Remember they tried to hawk all this high school stuff,
Speaker 1: all the trophies and all the stuff. I mean, got gil,
Speaker 1: I mean how much? I mean how much? How much
Speaker 1: is us in our community? Somehow we feel that no
Speaker 1: matter what our parents do to us, we should no
Speaker 1: matter what some of our family members do to us.
Speaker 2: Man, you gotta be there the hell with that. I
Speaker 2: know my mom had have sold anything of mine. She
Speaker 2: ain't about to get nothing.
Speaker 1: I hope she got twenty million for it, cause she
Speaker 1: never getting another die from Shamon sister.
Speaker 2: Brother.
Speaker 1: No, you're not finna do me like that just because
Speaker 1: you my blood. That should be more of a reason
Speaker 1: than I cut your ass off, cause you know what
Speaker 1: I went through to get to where I got.
Speaker 2: Nah, I can't, I can't. I can't rock with Kobe pants.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what you said it, but
Speaker 1: what is up happening is if if you kick him
Speaker 1: off the house and you cut off the food supply,
Speaker 1: they gotta.
Speaker 2: Eat, right, they have to eat.
Speaker 1: The question that I got a better question, why did
Speaker 1: he cut your ass off?
Speaker 2: To begin with? Well, well, uncle, we can't actually go
Speaker 2: through that.
Speaker 4: Live, but let's say they had his best interests that heart, Yes,
Speaker 4: answer Gil, they didn't want how how How old is
Speaker 4: how old is your oldest son?
Speaker 2: Seventeen?
Speaker 1: Okay, they're gonna come a point in time that you're
Speaker 1: gonna beat twenty one, twenty three, twenty five, twenty seven.
Speaker 1: At that point in time, he gonna be grown. You
Speaker 1: can say, son, I don't think she bro half the
Speaker 1: team done being with her. But if he love her,
Speaker 1: an issue can say, at that point in time, my
Speaker 1: son got married, my son got married. I think my
Speaker 1: son was twenty seven to twenty eight. Hey, I have
Speaker 1: a conversation with him. I said, hey, bro, what's what's
Speaker 1: going on like that?
Speaker 2: Hey? I love him?
Speaker 1: I want to be with him. That's who I want
Speaker 1: to be with. I say, you sure, it's the happiest
Speaker 1: I've ever seen it.
Speaker 2: Uh huh. They got with it.
Speaker 4: But but but you know that's not how that works, right,
Speaker 4: you know this is actually the real life how it hurts,
Speaker 4: I mean works if the parents disagree, like I don't
Speaker 4: think you should marry her, like if you're young when
Speaker 4: you need to preen up. And the father who's been
Speaker 4: an NBA player before giving his knowledge to his son, right,
Speaker 4: well yeah, if if his girlfriend knows the parents don't
Speaker 4: like him, what happens when they get married? What is
Speaker 4: the girlfriend's stand or the wife now stands the wife
Speaker 4: stand is right, I don't I don't mess with them
Speaker 4: right here, but here cut off. So the wife cuts
Speaker 4: off the parents no matter what. So now Kobe is
Speaker 4: trying to feed him in the back. Eventually the wife
Speaker 4: is making all the decisions.
Speaker 1: So guess what if that was if that was the
Speaker 1: dad's money, If the dad was a multi billionaire and
Speaker 1: he says, you know, I'm about to lead this company.
Speaker 1: I'm about to leave this fortune to you, son, And
Speaker 1: if you won't get no prenup, I can't do it.
Speaker 2: Kobe made that money. Yeah, his mommy day ain't got
Speaker 2: ins to do with that.
Speaker 1: If if I if I got five hundred million, and
Speaker 1: I say, you know what, I'm about to have the
Speaker 1: world biggest bond fire in LA. That's my damn money.
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody got up and shot them shots with me.
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody run with me. Nobody did that? So what
Speaker 1: Kobe doing with this money? I get parent, you want
Speaker 1: the best interest in you of your child. I get it.
Speaker 1: I'm a parent. But sometimes, Gil, the only way your
Speaker 1: child is gonna know his head hurt is the bumping
Speaker 1: and damn self. And that's a hard lesson to learn
Speaker 1: when you're dealing with that kind of money. But that's okay,
Speaker 1: that's him. But that's the problem. It's not like they're
Speaker 1: saying give it to me. They're saying that was their stance.
Speaker 1: So it's not like him and Kobe had a fall out.
Speaker 1: Vanessa is the one who's saying they don't like me, Well,
Speaker 1: I don't like them.
Speaker 2: They can stay over there, they can't see the kid.
Speaker 4: It's her stance now because she's the wife, so she
Speaker 4: is the one who put the bridge in between the
Speaker 4: two of them.
Speaker 2: So we thought you should factor that in.
Speaker 1: Fact of that is, man, I'm being I'm being a
Speaker 1: jerk to this girl. What if this what if this
Speaker 1: is my son? What if this is my son's wife
Speaker 1: and they have kids? How am I gonna see the
Speaker 1: grand baby? You give you what person? You know you
Speaker 1: can give them your ass. The kids and when they
Speaker 1: get into an advent tells your situation. Now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you want to do you want to be nice.
Speaker 1: You want to be nice to them. They're gonna turn
Speaker 1: around to give you their ask.
Speaker 2: To But again, you don't. You don't have to. You
Speaker 2: got a factor in that.
Speaker 4: You thought these two parents was gonna think their son
Speaker 4: would just pick a woman over them.
Speaker 2: You didn't. You don't. You don't factor that in. You're
Speaker 2: just being parents, Yes, you A son is a son
Speaker 2: until he takes a wife.
Speaker 1: A daughter is a daughter for life. Don't you forget that?
Speaker 1: Gilbl Arenas, you remember that? Okay, okay, so you know.
Speaker 2: What.
Speaker 1: I don't know how, but the Bible says when a
Speaker 1: man chooses a wife, that is now he is home.
Speaker 2: But this is before the wife, this is before she's
Speaker 2: a wife.
Speaker 4: Even in the process of giving her father and parent advice.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, he didn't take it. Now he didn't take it.
Speaker 2: You can't be mad.
Speaker 1: You can't be mad at you give your It's just
Speaker 1: it's just like you give your son back. Hey son,
Speaker 1: you need to go and get the shots. Now you
Speaker 1: need five hundred. He do two fifty. You can, son,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you now, you take the five hundred, is
Speaker 1: gonna greatly increase your chances of being what you want
Speaker 1: to be. You want to be the number one crewit
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. That's what you're gonna need to do.
Speaker 1: You need to get up and get this run in.
Speaker 1: You need to get eat like this. You can give
Speaker 1: him all the advice that you want, but you can't
Speaker 1: want something for the child more than they wanted for themselves.
Speaker 1: He wanted Vanessa more than he wanted the advice from
Speaker 1: his parent.
Speaker 2: You can't be mad, he said. They're mad. They're not mad.
Speaker 2: There's nothing to be mad about. You chose her. Oh cool,
Speaker 2: were here living, but we gotta live right. You're not talking.
Speaker 2: We're not talking to each other.
Speaker 4: We got five dollars in our bank account, bills is
Speaker 4: coming up.
Speaker 2: All we have so ollo what what? He in the
Speaker 2: NBA he didn't have no job.
Speaker 1: So what when Kobe retired, he return When Kobe got
Speaker 1: to the NBA, he RETI Kobe.
Speaker 4: He was in the NBA maywhere where they made sixty
Speaker 4: two dollars, Well.
Speaker 2: He should have kept twenty four.
Speaker 1: The thing is, Gil, sometimes parents think, will my son
Speaker 1: make it? I'm straight, I'm gonna give him to kick
Speaker 1: my heels up. That's a nice gesture if your son retires,
Speaker 1: parents or grandparents. That was me and my brothers objected,
Speaker 1: but my grandparents would have never done. My grandparents always
Speaker 1: say it when grant I got a I got a baby,
Speaker 1: all right, all right boy, grand I got another? All right, boy,
Speaker 1: you take care of them. That's how she ever said,
Speaker 1: whatever makes you happy because you say if you like it,
Speaker 1: I love it because I ain't got.
Speaker 2: To spend one day with him. Okay, the parents.
Speaker 1: Ain't got to spend no one day with Vanessa. Whether
Speaker 1: they liked her or not. Your like or dislike doesn't
Speaker 1: outweigh Kobe's love.
Speaker 2: That has nothing to do with the love is survival.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm just I'm just saying.
Speaker 1: Something calls this break, Gil, something calls this break.
Speaker 2: Yes it did.
Speaker 4: It was Vanessa caused the break, so they had to
Speaker 4: be on the out right. So since there, since they
Speaker 4: were on the out all the stuff that he did
Speaker 4: for them before this break, the house and all that,
Speaker 4: they can't keep up with it. Right, they don't have
Speaker 4: a job. They're in their sixties and seventies. So if
Speaker 4: Kobe was taking care of them, now they're cut off. Now,
Speaker 4: now what did they do to survive?
Speaker 2: The only thing they have this memorerabellion. So if you what.
Speaker 1: They were setting, they were selling it before you were selling.
Speaker 2: Kobe had schools when they got cut off.
Speaker 1: So the first time you winn the first time, Kobe
Speaker 1: the first kill.
Speaker 2: That's not your words, Gill, that's not yours, that's his is.
Speaker 2: So what do you want him to do? I want
Speaker 2: him to give him an ish back? Okay, give you
Speaker 2: ish back. And still the house that we have still does.
Speaker 2: The bills don't get paid.
Speaker 4: So when you see it the first time, when you
Speaker 4: see your parents are selling this the first time for
Speaker 4: money to survive that right.
Speaker 2: There, you should have bought all the stuff out of
Speaker 2: the house. Give it all. We're not going to go
Speaker 2: down this road again.
Speaker 4: It's five hundred thousands a million dollars because I don't
Speaker 4: need some regular person sending it. Because when you guys
Speaker 4: get desperate again for money, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: Sell it? Yeah? And then when when when does it stop?
Speaker 2: Once you got all yourself?
Speaker 1: Hey, Because that's what I tell That's what I tell kids.
Speaker 1: Get you get your mom and your grandma, your parents
Speaker 1: a house that they can afford the upkeep. If you
Speaker 1: gotta pay for somebody to cut the grass every week,
Speaker 1: if you gotta pay for somebody to clean the house
Speaker 1: every week, if you gotta.
Speaker 2: Bro what are you doing? What are you doing?
Speaker 1: Your parents don't need a three million dollar crib that
Speaker 1: you gotta have the upkeep, the upkeep on a three
Speaker 1: million dollar year of crib?
Speaker 2: Is what.
Speaker 1: Get you something they can afford the upkeep and keep
Speaker 1: it moving. Now I'm in a different situation. Yeah, But
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Gill, being a parent
Speaker 1: and you a parent, you know, and what do we
Speaker 1: know about kids? The more you tell them not to
Speaker 1: do something, what they're gonna do it?
Speaker 2: Little do that?
Speaker 1: No, if they were trying to pull them apart, they
Speaker 1: was actually pushing them closer together.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they knew that it wasn't. It
Speaker 2: wasn't a whole bunch of fight on. It was just one.
Speaker 2: It was just one one time. That was it.
Speaker 1: Man, You know that what you know that woman looks.
Speaker 1: The parents got pushed out of the relationship, and that was.
Speaker 1: That was the end of it. There was nothing, that
Speaker 1: was it. There was no I mean, do a part
Speaker 1: of me feel bad, yes, yes, yes, yes, I hate that.
Speaker 1: I hate to seem families bicker.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: I'm fortunate. I'm very fortunate. I'm not married, but my
Speaker 1: mom kind of let me live my life. This is
Speaker 1: what Kobe told ESPN. Our relationship is an ish. I
Speaker 1: say I'm going to buy you a very nice home,
Speaker 1: and the response is that's not good enough. Then you're
Speaker 1: selling my ish about Kobe told ESPN. Our relationship is
Speaker 1: an ish. I say I'm going to buy you a
Speaker 1: very nice home, and the response is that's not good enough.
Speaker 1: So you get ready by your mom and dad. He said,
Speaker 1: you know what, Mom, Dad, I appreciate y'all because y'all
Speaker 1: was great to me. Y'all made sure me and my
Speaker 1: brother and sister we had roof over head. Y'all gave
Speaker 1: me everything I needed. This is what I got for y'all.
Speaker 1: You see, I'm a firm believer, and you've heard me
Speaker 1: say it. The one thing I hate more than anything
Speaker 1: from a person is ungratefulness. Now, guy, I was, you
Speaker 1: know Steph Curry. I went to the game so Saturday,
Speaker 1: and during the time my step came over there that Hey,
Speaker 1: at that halftime it got a half because they was
Speaker 1: in front of and where I was sitting. Step came
Speaker 1: up and said, Hey, what you got for you? What
Speaker 1: you got for your own? He said, I got you
Speaker 1: what you need. I say, whatever, Bro't I ain't picking.
Speaker 2: I don't say.
Speaker 1: Jersey sweat man. Whatever you give me, bro I'm good.
Speaker 1: So he said, uh, you after the game. After the game,
Speaker 1: you know, come to the tunnel.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: I got to go through the tunnel where they are anyway,
Speaker 1: so cool, no problem. I go back talk to Savannah
Speaker 1: and Rich Paul for a minute. Then I head over there.
Speaker 1: He's working out, so I'm waiting from the finished working
Speaker 1: He come out. He'd say, appreciate you know, we just
Speaker 1: talk at you in the fact. So I guess somebody
Speaker 1: were recording it and posted it, and somebody said, man,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want no shoes. I'd have ad for the jersey.
Speaker 1: Think about that. He didn't have to give me anything.
Speaker 1: He gave me a share. He didn't have to give
Speaker 1: me anything. How can you say, if somebody is giving
Speaker 1: you something, they should have given you something else. How
Speaker 1: do you say if somebody is buying you something that's
Speaker 1: not good enough, that's not enough. Now, I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: that's what Kobe said.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I wasn't there because let me tell you something else.
Speaker 1: Give people like, oh you gossip it? You do realize
Speaker 1: any time that you sit down with one person and
Speaker 1: the person they're saying something about isn't there to refute
Speaker 1: what they're saying. Is godsip for here saying because you
Speaker 1: weren't there to hear the conversation in his original format,
Speaker 1: So how do you know? So this notion that oh,
Speaker 1: somebody going there gossiping. No, anytime you ask somebody and
Speaker 1: they tell you a story and you weren't there to
Speaker 1: hear it firsthand or the person that they're talking about,
Speaker 1: isn't that to refute, It's gossible.
Speaker 2: So this is what Kobe told is men.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's true or not, but I'm
Speaker 1: just saying something forced him to feel this type of
Speaker 1: way about his parents, and I don't know, it's hard
Speaker 1: for me to bleeve. It's look, I understand that sometimes
Speaker 1: you know, woman or man can feel some type of way,
Speaker 1: but you.
Speaker 2: Got to be in a relationship with the parents. You
Speaker 2: got to understand that.
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, no matter the
Speaker 4: fight or not the house they got, if they still
Speaker 4: have that house, right, I don't know if they sold
Speaker 4: the house for money, But just like anything, you buy it,
Speaker 4: you buy someone a house, congratulate, thank you, I appreciate it,
Speaker 4: and you're you're telling me I got to upkeep it myself.
Speaker 4: How if you buy your if you buy your sister
Speaker 4: right now three million dollar house and then tell her
Speaker 4: she has to up keep it herself and you're not
Speaker 4: gonna give her nothing else can she.
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: So, but you know what, my sister better not be
Speaker 1: acting a damn food and talking talking about she cray.
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is if she starts selling your ship
Speaker 4: to cleanse bills around here, you see where I'm going now,
Speaker 4: Like if she's already cut her off and she she's like,
Speaker 4: oh shit, I got to pay the water bills. This
Speaker 4: this this this shen is gonna kick my ass now,
Speaker 4: I gotta start selling some.
Speaker 2: Of this ship in here to pay some of the bills.
Speaker 4: Like, sometimes doing something good for somebody is still putting
Speaker 4: them in a bad situation, and that's where they are.
Speaker 4: They were in a bad situation. I'm pretty sure they
Speaker 4: don't want to sell the ship.
Speaker 2: You got a ring I'm sitting there.
Speaker 4: There's ninety one hundred, two hundred thousand dollars right there
Speaker 4: that we can use today that it's on the shelf.
Speaker 4: They're not part of the mom but not part of
Speaker 4: the Mama legacy. They don't have they don't have the
Speaker 4: three four hundred million dollars they can these shoes. They're
Speaker 4: not getting a percentage of nothing all on the shelf.
Speaker 2: Kobe's legacy.
Speaker 1: She got to be lonely because I mean, think about it,
Speaker 1: like the grandparents on one side. You remember her mom
Speaker 1: tried to see her, So the parents on hers. I
Speaker 1: don't know if her daddy's in her life or anything
Speaker 1: like that, but the mom on one side tried to
Speaker 1: see her. The in laws on the other side selling
Speaker 1: your husband's stuff, and so you don't have a relationship,
Speaker 1: so you're kind of like isolated.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she has any brothers and sisters,
Speaker 1: So I don't know that kind of relationship.
Speaker 2: So I don't want to speak to that.
Speaker 1: But I know it's hard for me to believe that
Speaker 1: she has a relationship with a mom when a mom
Speaker 1: tried to sue. I don't know anybody that has a
Speaker 1: relationship with a family member after you tried to sue
Speaker 1: it you if it to get you, if it to
Speaker 1: get Yoah.
Speaker 2: But gil, let me tell you a funny story.
Speaker 1: Like when my brother went went went to the league
Speaker 1: and we were living and we were living in the house.
Speaker 1: My grandma said, well, you know, we ain't gotta move.
Speaker 1: You can fix this up. Granted it's a thousand square
Speaker 1: foot send a block, no paneling, a tin roof, fix
Speaker 1: up what? But you see how Mia was thinking. She
Speaker 1: always thought, she like, well, what happened? Did we have
Speaker 1: to come back? That was her biggest fear.
Speaker 2: That was my greatest motivation to make sure she never
Speaker 2: had to go back.
Speaker 1: I just you know, look like I said, Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: been blessed. I've been very fortunate. I got a brother,
Speaker 1: got a sister, and we are close. When I say
Speaker 1: we're close. Now, don't get me wrong, we disagree. You
Speaker 1: damn right, we disagree, but we're close, close, close, and
Speaker 1: so and then my mom, she's my only parents that
Speaker 1: still hear. My dad died a long time ago, and
Speaker 1: then my grandpa. My grandmother passed in twenty eleven. But
Speaker 1: we're close. I couldn't imagine. I just couldn't. I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine. It's beyond the realm of my comprehension
Speaker 1: because knowing how close we were growing up, and knowing
Speaker 1: that my mom did all that she could, even though
Speaker 1: she was in Chicago. She made sure for Birthday and
Speaker 1: Christmas and holidays and events that she could get there.
Speaker 1: She got there, and my grandmother did everything that she
Speaker 1: possibly could. I couldn't imagine being that way with my Well,
Speaker 1: I can imagine being that way with in laws, but
Speaker 1: I could imagine being that way with my own thing.
Speaker 4: But what happens is you never you never had to go.
Speaker 4: They his parents probably never thought the same way until
Speaker 4: a girl got him. See, a girl got involved with you,
Speaker 4: and your mom said, I don't think it should marry her,
Speaker 4: and then you marry anyway. Now that that girl is saying, hey,
Speaker 4: I don't like your mom, and I don't want nothing to.
Speaker 2: Do with your mom. Now that pushed the wedge between
Speaker 2: you and your mom. It's not you too, it's your
Speaker 2: new wives. And that's where the problem becomes.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: You probably you probably you probably should have kept that
Speaker 2: to yourself.
Speaker 1: Well, son, hey, if you happy, you ain't Gil. You
Speaker 1: know if you happy, So that's what makes you happy?
Speaker 1: You know all of my Lord, please have merchant watch
Speaker 1: a boy son. I mean, you think one thing, but
Speaker 1: you say something else, Gil, because you know, because knowing
Speaker 1: if if they're in love as much as you believe
Speaker 1: they are, you know, he gonna go back.
Speaker 2: And tell you that you kill You know that?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was okay, And he ain't got no reason
Speaker 1: to lie. Those are his parents. Why would he make
Speaker 1: up a fallacy about his parents or what they said?
Speaker 1: So now I might have been feeling some type. Well,
Speaker 1: I know, I Vanessa was seventeen, and you know, hey,
Speaker 1: you're seventeen. You're like Covid. Probably you never really had
Speaker 1: a real girlfriend. Maybe did, maybe didn't, but that's seventeen.
Speaker 1: The newness of it. You're like, this ain't gonna last. Well,
Speaker 1: and they inseparable?
Speaker 4: Well, I mean you hit you hit the problem right
Speaker 4: there without realizing it.
Speaker 1: Gil, yep, And the thing was, Gil, I guess and
Speaker 1: guess what. He had a tone of vision, He had
Speaker 1: a singular focus. He found someone that could understand his
Speaker 1: singular focus. We heard Braun to say, you got to
Speaker 1: sacrifice a lot of time with loved ones.
Speaker 2: To be great. Man.
Speaker 1: He found that person that understood and and could say,
Speaker 1: you know, hey, go go be great and we'll be
Speaker 1: and I'll be here, and hey, everybody, everybody, everybody.
Speaker 2: Could have did it.
Speaker 1: People are, oh, oh, I could be Savannah James. No
Speaker 1: you could, No, you know you couldn't. Well I be
Speaker 1: with you couldn't know you couldn't. Everybody could always say
Speaker 1: after the fact. But I'm sure there are some times
Speaker 1: matter like, I don't know this is, this is, it
Speaker 1: might not be for me. And that's somebody said the
Speaker 1: exact same thing. But kudos for them for hanging out there.
Speaker 1: But Mi, Guil, I don't know, Gil, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I guess that's why you and I ain't married.
