101
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: Have a great day, and let's start with the beautiful

102
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: chaos that was NBA free agency, big signings, big news

103
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: like it just took it took the sports world by storm.

104
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 4: And yet biggest story to come out of that.

105
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: That the Lakers locked up the James family this week,

106
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: both of them, the signing Lebron James to a Max

107
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: deal two year, one hundred and four million dollars and

108
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: then drafting and signing Bronnie James to a rookie deal

109
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: four years, seven point nine million dollars guarantee.

110
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: Now, there's a lot of it mixed motions around this situation.

111
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with the positive, okkay, because I'm a

112
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm a glass half full kind of gal.

113
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, always always, Lebron James and Bronnie.

114
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: Will be making NBA history as a first father son

115
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: duo to play together in the NBA and not right there,

116
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: pretty darn cool, so cool, so cool.

117
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: Now there's been a lot of pushback. Did Brownie deserve it?

118
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 1: This is nepotism now, obviously there's no denying Lebron James

119
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: had a hand in helping get Bronnie James drafted by

120
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: the Lakers. But it was a fifty fifth draft pick,

121
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: you guys, that's the bottom, that's the bottom of the barrel,

122
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: and probably helped get them the guaranteed contractor that's not

123
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: always the norm for a seven round pick.

124
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: But I hate to break it to you, Welcome to business.

125
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: Nepotism is everywhere in every industry in the world, and

126
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: a lot of the time it's not earned or deserved,

127
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: like when a child takes over a family business, like

128
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: a lot of team owners, that usually gets passed down

129
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: to the kids in the front office staff taken over

130
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: a team.

131
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: But in Bronnie's case, he grew up in the game.

132
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 3: He trains with.

133
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: His father, Lebron James, who is the greatest shooter of

134
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: all time, one of the greatest players of all time,

135
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: arguably the goat. Like he is a good player, and

136
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: I just want to remind everybody. Do you know how

137
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: many big name players followed in their father's footsteps in

138
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: the NBA. Here, just to name you a few, Kobe Bryant,

139
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: Stephan Seth Curry, Clay Thompson, Devin Booker, Jalen Brunson, Al Horford,

140
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: Kevin Love.

141
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: Gary Payton, Luke Walton.

142
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: I don't know any of those ring about all of

143
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: their fathers also played in the NBA. It is a

144
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: very common thing for sons who grow up with their

145
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: fathers in the NBA to have the same dream and

146
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: follow it. Now, this is just the first time we're

147
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: actually gonna see them play together. And I know Lebron

148
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: and Browny will get that historic moment. They're gonna walk

149
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 1: onto the court together as a first father son duo.

150
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be epic, crowd's gonna go wild, and he's

151
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: gonna get that moment. He's been talking about wanting that

152
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: moment for the last couple of years, and he wasn't

153
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: gonna retire until he got this moment with his son.

154
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: But he's gonna spend majority of his time as.

155
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: He should developing and it all starts in about thirty minutes.

156
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: We're getting We're gonna We're gonna get to see him

157
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: and his first summer League game, and he's gonna have

158
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: to prove it. He's still going to have to prove it.

159
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: Now is where the work comes in, right.

160
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 5: First of all, I just like this is such a

161
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 5: cool thing, Like I want, I want to just take

162
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 5: a second and say, let this be cool.

163
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: Yes, let it be so cool.

164
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 5: Because at the end of the day, you're right, he's

165
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 5: taken with the fifty fifth pick in the NBA drafts,

166
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 5: in the second round.

167
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 4: Second round picks are already just gambles.

168
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't always pan out, no for at all

169
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: for every team.

170
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 4: The second round is just a shot at a good player, yes,

171
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 4: And to be fair, we don't know what lebron James Junior.

172
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bronnie James.

173
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,119
Speaker 4: We don't know what he is as a player because

174
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 4: he had twenty five games at USC he only started

175
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 4: six of.

176
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: Them, recovering from cardiac arrest at the beginning of his

177
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: college career.

178
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 5: So we he is an unknown, which doesn't mean that

179
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 5: he's bad necessarily. And again, he has this work ethic

180
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 5: instilled in him from his father, arguably one of the

181
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 5: greatest works in the NBA.

182
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: All the like everything at his fingertips that his dad hass.

183
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 5: He's had everything at his fingertips. He's had every resource

184
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 5: and he's going to get it. He's going to be

185
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 5: given these times to this time to develop and Listen,

186
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 5: Lebron James is going to get that moment. Like you said, Yeah,

187
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 5: the reality of this is Bronnie is going to be

188
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 5: playing in crunch time at the.

189
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 4: End of the season. Hasn't earned it.

190
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 5: No, Lebron James wants to win another title too before

191
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 5: he retires. He is not going to insist that Bronni

192
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 5: get all these minutes and stuff if he doesn't deserve it.

193
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: And let me just tell you here, what would motivate

194
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: the greatest player of our time right now to not

195
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: only win a title for himself, win a title with

196
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: his son. This is going to be so much added

197
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: motivation for Lebron James.

198
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, And.

199
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: He hears everything, you guys. He's a media mogul. He

200
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: is on social media. He sees and reads everything. He

201
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: knows all the backlash he's getting right now, and do

202
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: you know what this is doing. He's backlogging it for

203
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: all of this motivation. He does everything all over the motivation.

204
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: He does everything all the greats do. Where he manufactures

205
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: motivation by using media clips, by using slights and this,

206
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: and even if they're just perceived slights.

207
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: I mean, huh, Kobe did it? Tom Brady does it?

208
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 5: Or did it? Tiger Woods does it? Like all of

209
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 5: these Michael Jordan, Jordan did it all?

210
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: It's about the spite list. Oh, the most epics fite

211
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: list of all time.

212
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 6: Yeah.

213
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 5: I shuddered to think what Jordan would have manufactured had

214
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 5: social media been around when he played, although it probably

215
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 5: would have been good for.

216
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 4: His career overall.

217
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 5: No, At the same time, I just this is not

218
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 5: a big deal when it comes to you, all right,

219
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 5: did Bronnie maybe take someone's spot in that second list

220
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 5: that the Lakers could Maybe? But at the same time,

221
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 5: it's always you're always taking a gamble at that at

222
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 5: that stage of the draft, Like if you didn't take

223
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 5: them with the first round pick, and the first.

224
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: Round pick was a steal.

225
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: The fact that they got Dalton Connect, the SEC Player

226
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: of the year scoring machine, which is exactly what the

227
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: Lakers need. They're not on the same level Bronnie James

228
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,599
Speaker 1: and don't connect, Like they're not looking at them the

229
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: same No.

230
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 5: And they weren't taken at the same level but honestly,

231
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 5: the Boston Celtics had the opportunity to do the funniest

232
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 5: thing ever and they didn't do it.

233
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 7: Yeah.

234
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 5: I was holding my breath thinking, but I don't think that.

235
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 5: I don't think the brotherhood would let that happen necessarily.

236
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 5: And I think that, you know, there's a respect involved

237
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 5: as well.

238
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 3: I like cool calls were made like don't take them.

239
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 4: Oh no, that's what I'm saying. That's kind of respect.

240
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 5: That's the brotherhood that everybody was like kind of agreed,

241
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 5: a gentleman's agreement that this was going to happen.

242
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: And that's why these gentlemen's just cool.

243
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 4: Just let this be cool. Let this be a first

244
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 4: in the NBA.

245
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is like, I mean, this is just completely

246
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 5: unheard of and unprecedented, and it's so cool.

247
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: Cool.

248
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 4: I know, let it be cool.

249
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 3: I'm here for it now.

250
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: My big question is how does the rest of the

251
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: team feel about this? Right because we haven't heard from

252
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: their number two star on the team, the quote future

253
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: of the team, Anthony Davis, And there were reports before

254
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: they hired JJ like let's go back to like Lebron

255
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: even though like he said, he didn't have his hand

256
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: in it and helping JJ get the job, Like you're

257
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: not going to hire a coach without your star player

258
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: giving you a thumbs up some thumbs down, especially when

259
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: he is your podcast partner and a dear friend.

260
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 3: Nothing wrong with that. Again, like we we know Lebron.

261
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: James is handpaking where everybody is gonna go. But how

262
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: does Anthony Davis feel about this? And Shack had a

263
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: really interesting take on JJ Reddick as the new head coach.

264
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: You have that sound, Let's play that real quick.

265
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 8: For me as a player, if I didn't respect the coach,

266
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 8: it was easy for me to turn my one hundred

267
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 8: percent down.

268
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: So the question is he went on to share the

269
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: difference of like having a coach that you didn't respect

270
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: and then having a guy say like Phil Jackson, where

271
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: he came in and was like one hundred percent respect

272
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: no matter what whatever you say. Phil. JJ was just

273
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: in the league a few years ago. So how will

274
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: that translation be from peer to coach? Like JJ has

275
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: a lot of uphill battles coming in to be the

276
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: Lakers head coach. Earning the respect as a coach, you

277
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: know you're going to get it from Lebron. He's going

278
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: to make sure the younger guys respect him. But we

279
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: have not heard from Anthony Davis yet, like, ad, how

280
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: does he feel about this? You're also trying to get

281
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: the Lakers back to a championship or bust team because

282
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: that's the standard for the Lakers here in LA. And

283
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: now you're working with Lebron and Bronni and managing that

284
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: whole situation with how the teammates feel about this. Yes,

285
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: it's a really cool situation, but you also like, this

286
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: has never been done before. We don't know how this

287
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: is going to affect, like team chemistry and team atmosphere,

288
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: and having a son and father and the greatest player

289
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: of all time getting a son on the team.

290
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 4: So there's But.

291
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 5: That's the thing though, is Lebron James comes with the track. Yes,

292
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 5: Lebron James has willed the multiple teams almost solely, almost

293
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 5: on his own to NBA championships. So you have no

294
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 5: choice but to respect who Lebron respects. You have to,

295
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 5: and Lebron respects JJ Reddick. Yeah, so therefore everybody else

296
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 5: will fall in line, I have to think, including Anthony Davis,

297
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 5: because even Anthony Davis understands that Lebron has this poll.

298
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 4: He has this.

299
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 5: Power, he has this respect because he is the star

300
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 5: of the Lakers, whether or not he's the best player

301
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 5: on the team currently, Yeah, he is still the star

302
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 5: of the Lakers, and he is. He is probably the

303
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 5: most powerful NBA player in the entirely.

304
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 3: One hundred percent.

305
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: But I'm also curious how this move affected free agents

306
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: wanting to come to the Lakers because Lebron gave a

307
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: list of guys he would take a pay cut for.

308
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: Obviously they didn't get any of those guys, so Lebron

309
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: took the Max deal.

310
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: So that's something we're going to dive into a little later.

311
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: We're going to take a quick break here, but when

312
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: we come back, we're heading to Vegas with Mark Medina,

313
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: who is at USA Basketball's training camp. Right now, you're

314
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: listening to Fox Sports Radio.

315
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,440

339

Speaker 10: I'm thankfully saying cool and hydrated because as of now

340
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 10: I've yet to stuff outside.

341
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't do that, don't do that.

342
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 3: I was, I was in Vegas last weekend.

343
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

344
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 3: Brutal, absolutely brutal.

345
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: But okay, so you are there for USA Basketball super

346
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: Team getting ready for the Olympics. Just paint the picture

347
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: give us the vibe everyone together for the first day today.

348
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I think on tay for it's about can

349
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 10: this be the sequel to the redeem team? And they

350
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 10: have you know, that disappointing finish in the Feeble World Cup,

351
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 10: and you got really the heavy headers of like the

352
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 10: Ogs of Lebron James and Anthony Davis. Ironic or not ironically,

353
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 10: but surprisingly even though Steph Curry is now in OG,

354
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 10: this is actually his first Olympics ever. He missed you know,

355
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 10: the past few games because of injuries and you know,

356
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 10: wanting to recharge post COVID. So yeah, it is a

357
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 10: mix of like OG guys like Duran and Lebron, someone

358
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 10: like Steph who's this is his first go around, and

359
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 10: then a real collection of you know, the young talent

360
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 10: in this league with Kevin Duran and Edwards and Tyres

361
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 10: Halburn Drew Holidays. So it is a pretty good combination

362
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 10: of players and not to mention they're all pretty skilled.

363
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean this sounds like a super dream team.

364
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say, this is well, this is

365
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 5: like this is the perfect storm of the old, the

366
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 5: veterans that we've come to know, crossing of the guards

367
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 5: and the younger players. So how has that or how

368
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 5: do you envision that dynamic then going between the guys

369
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 5: that are, you know, the up and comers but like

370
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 5: established in their own right, and then the vets that,

371
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 5: especially in the case of staphf getting their first shot

372
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 5: at this.

373
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm sure when we asked that really good question

374
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 10: to Steve Kerr, he's going to say, you know what,

375
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 10: it's fluid, it's the first day of training camp. These

376
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 10: are the twelve best players in the world. He'll figure

377
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 10: out lineup combinations. But if I had a guess, I

378
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 10: would think it's safe to pull Lebron James, Kevin Durant,

379
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 10: and Steph Curry in the starting lineup. So I think

380
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 10: everyone else it's up in the air because you have

381
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 10: some players that are more experienced, like a Kawhi Leonard

382
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 10: and an Anthony Davis. But I think with those two

383
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 10: players specifically, I would think they're managing them with care

384
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 10: because of their injury history. But the other thing is

385
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 10: a lot of these other young guys are just really emerging.

386
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 10: I mean, I'm literally reading off the roster here, and

387
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 10: I'm not, I think exaggerated. When every single person you know,

388
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 10: has a lot of upside and ability to become a

389
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 10: superstar player. That's Devin Booker and Anthony Edwards, Joel mb

390
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 10: Tyrese Haliburn and Drew Holliday Jason Tatum. So it's a

391
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 10: good problem for Steve Kerr to have, and I think regardless,

392
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 10: like it's hard for him to make any quote unquote

393
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 10: bad decision because this team's so stacked. But this is

394
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 10: much different than it was in the Dream Team, Like

395
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,239
Speaker 10: they might beat certain teams by double digits, but it's

396
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 10: not going to be every team Like France is the

397
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 10: real deal. They have a lot of good marquee players,

398
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 10: So I think it could be similar to that eight

399
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 10: games where they face in a formidable opponent, whether it's

400
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 10: Spain or France or anyone else that could really test them.

401
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I think the France.

402
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: We've had some of the top players in the NBA

403
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years come out of France,

404
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: so we know that the level of play there has

405
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: reached the level of play in the United States. Would

406
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: this be a huge disappointment? Is it gold or bust

407
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: kind of mental going into.

408
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 10: This, It's it's always gold or bust, regardless of how

409
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 10: well you know the international growth has taken place with basketball.

410
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 10: I think the other thing is that the FEBA tournaments

411
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 10: have always been different because this top tier, cream of

412
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 10: the crop players don't always play those games. Yeah, and

413
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 10: here with the Olympics, everyone's invested. And when I think,

414
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,479
Speaker 10: even when you look at the past two games in

415
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 10: Rio in twenty sixteen Tokyo twenty twenty one year later

416
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 10: because of COVID, there were some notable emissions because of

417
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 10: injuries or just the unique circumstances with the COVID games.

418
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 10: Specifically here, everyone is fully committed with the US. So

419
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 10: even if they're going to face tough, tough competition, if

420
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 10: they don't win gold, it'll be incredibly disappointed.

421
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially with the star stud of team. Now you

422
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 1: mentioned Steve Kerr. It's hard for him to make a

423
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: bad decision. But there were some stories this week that

424
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: Lebron might come off the bench. Do you see that

425
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: actually happening in Paris?

426
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 10: I don't see that happening. You know again, I would

427
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,239
Speaker 10: suspect once we talk to him at practice, he's going

428
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 10: to say it's all fluid.

429
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 11: He's using these.

430
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 10: First date of practice for lineup combinations. But we're talking

431
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 10: Lebron James, and he's one of the OG's on the team.

432
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 10: And I think the other thing is that when you're

433
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 10: looking at Lebron, this is his first game since twenty twelve.

434
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 10: I mean, he missed twenty sixteen because of just those

435
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 10: deep final runs against Golden State and wanting to recharge.

436
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 10: Twenty twenty one missed. You know, he won a championship

437
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 10: in the bubble in the following year was very very taxing.

438
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 10: So I think he's ready to get a move in

439
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 10: because he hasn't played in the game since twenty twelve.

440
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 10: So yeah, I nothing's guaranteed, but I would be very

441
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 10: very very very surprised. I could probably just few it

442
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 10: through a few more barriers that he comes up that well.

443
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 5: Speaking of Lebron, he just signed another two year contract

444
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 5: max contract with the Lakers and he is now going

445
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 5: to be playing with his son.

446
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 4: How what do you think think.

447
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 5: Is kind of like the realistic way this is going

448
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 5: to go. When is Bronni going to play? Is he

449
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 5: going to play? Is he going to start at any point?

450
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 5: My personal theory is like he's going to maybe he

451
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 5: starts early in the season, but when it comes down

452
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 5: to like, all right, no, we need to make sure

453
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 5: that we're making the playoffs.

454
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 4: Lebron's gonna kick him back to the bench, like right.

455
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 5: Like they'll have their moment and then I'll be like,

456
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 5: all right, that was cool. Now get to the bench

457
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 5: kid and develop. How do you how do you see

458
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 5: this going?

459
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 10: Well, technically, Bronni is playing today right Ali Classic in

460
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 10: San Francisco. To your broader question, I don't think he's

461
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 10: going to start. I mean, he's a second round pick,

462
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 10: right he is going to play, it would be you know,

463
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 10: very limited minutes during blowouts, you know, whether it's wins

464
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 10: or losses. I think to your point, they will have

465
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 10: that early storyline already done, certainly in preseason, but maybe

466
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 10: earlier in the regular season as far as staggering some

467
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 10: minutes with Lebron and Browny. But I don't think they

468
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 10: would thrust him into the starting lineup because he's a

469
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 10: fifty fifth to Key's not. He's not a two way player,

470
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 10: so there is going to be some limitations on how

471
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 10: much time he can be in the G League. But

472
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 10: I think most of the time will be there and

473
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 10: then just practicing around the team. So I think game

474
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 10: to game. He's going to have a lot of healthy scratches.

475
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 10: I don't think he's going to be part of any

476
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 10: you know, seven, eight, nine, even ten man rotation, but

477
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 10: there will be those moments throughout the season where he'll

478
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 10: get some spot minutes and then yeah, even with his

479
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 10: dad on the floor.

480
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about someone who did not choose to

481
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: go to the Lakers. Because Klay Thompson is heading to

482
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: the MAVs on a three year deal and he chose

483
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: the MAVs over the Lakers. And I know you talk

484
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 1: to Klay Thompson's dad, who tried to persuade Clay to

485
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: go to the Lakers. What was his reaction when he

486
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: found out his son chose Dallas Orelay.

487
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 10: Well, it's interesting because he he did an interview with

488
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 10: serious extem earlier in the day and he sounded very disappointed,

489
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 10: like see the father that you know, felt like his

490
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 10: son made a mistake kind of tone. When I connected

491
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 10: with him later in the evening, he was reaching the

492
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 10: stage of fatherhood of courting his son because that's what

493
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 10: he wants to do.

494
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: So he was kind of going through all the fields

495
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: through the different.

496
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 10: Interviews the day, so he kept saying, as long as

497
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 10: he's happy, I'm good with it. But to your point,

498
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 10: the kitchen think as far as sales pitchers, I mean,

499
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 10: he probably for the million of time, brought up his

500
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 10: time with the Showtime Lakers and what it meant to

501
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 10: play with his idle Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and then he

502
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 10: segued into, hey, Kobe Bryant was your rd, Like, what

503
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 10: would it be like to obviously he can't be playing

504
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 10: with Kobe, Yeah, but just playing for the same franchise

505
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 10: and wearing his jersey.

506
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 6: He also, yeah, he just.

507
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 10: That identity and embodying what he represent And then he

508
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 10: also broke it down next tos and Oh was like

509
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 10: Lebron James, Anthony Davis really talented. They'll draw a lot

510
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 10: of attention. He can get some easier shots, and he'll

511
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 10: get his game going again. And then the last thing,

512
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 10: he mentioned all the different you know ports and Harbor's

513
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 10: in LA and said he got so many places to

514
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 10: park and ride your boat. None of it worked because

515
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 10: at the end of the day, Clay chose what was

516
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 10: best for him from a basketball standpoint, and you can't

517
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 10: argue with that. Mean, the MAVs just got to the

518
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 10: Finals they got with not just Kyrie Irving, they got

519
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 10: a good supporting cast, and the Lakers they lost in

520
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 10: five games in the first round, and there's a lot

521
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 10: of questions what they'll be moving forward. So it's it's

522
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 10: been quite eventful for his decisions.

523
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 5: Do you think that there was an aspect here where

524
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 5: I mean, Clay has also been historically underappreciated throughout his career,

525
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 5: and do you think that there was somewhat of an

526
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 5: overshadowing because he was on a team with Steph Curry

527
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 5: and then the thought of going to the Lakers and

528
00:24:58,600 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 5: being overshadowed by.

529
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 4: Lebron and a D. Yeah, I mean I think that

530
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 4: he think.

531
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 5: Like he can play on the level of Luca and

532
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 5: be on that same star level, but like he was

533
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 5: going to continue to be overshadowed if he went the Lakers.

534
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 4: Do you think that played a part in his decision?

535
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 3: With all the rings.

536
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 10: These are valid factors, but knowing how Clay is, I

537
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 10: don't think it was so. In other words, I don't

538
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 10: think Steph Curry has anything to do with his departure.

539
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 10: I mean, he loves playing with him, and you know,

540
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 10: Clay would always get the nickname prior to how things

541
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 10: unfold of this season with his contract negotiations low maintenance

542
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 10: and I think the contract is one thing because you know,

543
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 10: it's money, and he feel felt he was worth, you know,

544
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 10: a certain amount of value. I think, you know, coming

545
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 10: off the bench is a different thing.

546
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 6: But as it.

547
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 10: Pertains to Oh, I don't want to be overshadowed by

548
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 10: Steph or Lebron or Ad. I don't think any of

549
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 10: those three players spectored in. I think the broader point though,

550
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 10: is that Dallas is a better basketball So in other words,

551
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 10: if the Lakers, you know, Lebron and Idi are there

552
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 10: and they had a better supporting cast. And also the

553
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 10: other thing, if the Lakers had assets that the Warriors

554
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 10: wanted to do a sign and trade, so if he

555
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 10: could make more money, I think he would have chosen

556
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 10: the Lakers. But the Mavericks, of all the different things,

557
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 10: they had those two things to their advantage, and I

558
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 10: think that really tilted the scale for him.

559
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: And honestly, he probably thinks he has a better chance

560
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: of winning. Yeah, I like that with the Lakers.

561
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 10: So the ultimate way the stick into the world.

562
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Mark, Thank you so much for joining us.

563
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: Have so much fun out in Vegas with USA Basketball.

00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: Keep us updated. We'll be checking in on all your stuff.

565
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,040

00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 6: Thanks so much.

567
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 10: Thanks for ssuing it, squeezing me in on your show.

568
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: We love it. Thank you.

569
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 2: I do.

570
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 3: Now let's checking with Brian Bentley and see what's trending.

571
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 7: Carmen and Alex. We are moments away from seeing Brownie

572
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 7: James on the court. Seconds ago on television. He was

573
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 7: wearing his beat's headphones. He's out there warming up, ready

574
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 7: to go our first again. Let it go. Yeah, he's

575
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 7: ready to show off his abilities here as the Lakers

576
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 7: debut for one Brownie James is about to take place,

577
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 7: and it's part of the California Classic in San Francisco,

578
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 7: his first summer league. How many minutes is he going

579
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 7: to get? What sort of output are we going to

580
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 7: see from him? A lot of those questions are about

581
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 7: to be heard in this game, at least, as the Lakers,

582
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 7: their summer league team, will take on the Sacramento Kings

583
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 7: in a few moments. Speaking of also what's going on

584
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 7: in basketball, Indiana Fever guard Caitlyn Clark the first triple

585
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 7: double by rookie in WNBA history. Alex le Clemen. I

586
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 7: know you probably saw that coming just a matter of time.

587
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 5: I guess the best team in the league too. She

588
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 5: took them to the victory over the best team in

589
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 5: the league.

590
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, so take that all those Carmen or Kitlyn Clark caters.

591
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 7: That's for sure. Nineteen points, thirteen assists, twelve rebounds that

592
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 7: the Fever come away with an eighty three to seventy

593
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 7: eight win. As Carmen mentioned against the Liberty. Also, we're

594
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 7: watching soccer play out in front of us and at

595
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 7: the European Championships right now, Netherlands has scored two unanswered goals.

596
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 7: It is in the seventy eighth minute a game that

597
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 7: you can watch right now on Fox Television, two to

598
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 7: one Netherlands against Turkey, seventy eighth minute. Both of those

599
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 7: goals by Netherlands north of the seventieth minute, so they've

600
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 7: scored two goals in about a seven minute period. Earlier,

601
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 7: it was England advancing to the semifinals with their penalty kicks,

602
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 7: and I know that probably brings back memories, Brian, don't.

603
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 3: Bring the anxiety back, man.

604
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 7: I know, I know you mentioned it earlier in the show,

605
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 7: but it was a penalty kick the win five to

606
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,959
Speaker 7: three for England against Switzerland after it was one to

607
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 7: one through extra time and after regulations, so semifinals for

608
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 7: England at Wimbledon right now Novak Djokovic seconds ago he

609
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 7: is on to the fourth round after his win against

610
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 7: the Australian and Alexi Popper and knee a fourth set

611
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 7: and a tie break set to take it, so he

612
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 7: goes to the fourth round. Earlier, the top seed, Egas

613
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 7: Fiatech goes down in the third round in three sets

614
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 7: to Yulia Putsinseva and on a more serious in Soborgno

615
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 7: Vikings rookie defensive back Kyrie Jackson along with two others

616
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 7: in a vehicle were killed in a three car crash

617
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 7: early this morning, and this happened in Maryland. Police there

618
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 7: indicate that a separate automobile happened to be speeding trying

619
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 7: to change lanes in the process with this happening on

620
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 7: a highway, hit and knocked the car occupied by Jackson

621
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,959
Speaker 7: and those two others off the road and into the trees,

622
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 7: and law enforcement saying that alcohol certainly played a role

623
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 7: in this tragedy. As we get it back to Carmen

624
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 7: and Alex one to mention here is that we do

625
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 7: have some Major League Baseball games going on, and one

626
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 7: final with the Yankees winning fourteen to four against the

627
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 7: Red Sox. With that, let's get it back over to

628
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 7: Alex Curry and Carmen Vitally as that summer league game

629
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 7: is un and we're looking forward. I don't think Lebron's

630
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 7: son's starting.

631
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: See what number is he nine? The names are on

632
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: the bottom of the jersey. We hadn't had a close

633
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: up yet, but I'm like, I'm pretty sure Brownie is

634
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: like he's there. Yeah, he's on the James Junior.

635
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 7: There he is.

636
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: That's so cool. Thank you, Brian. You're listening to Fox

638
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: are broadcasting live from the tark dot Com studios in

639
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Thank you for spending your Saturday afternoon with

640
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: carme and me and Carmie. I know you work with

641
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Yeah, this is a This was a tough

642
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: day for the franchise.

643
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 5: It was incredible to wake up to and see, you know,

644
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 5: a rest and peace post to their rookie, their fourth

645
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 5: round pick that whose career had barely started. Kyrie Jackson.

646
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 5: He was a transfer to Oregon from Bama. Played with

647
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 5: Lyons first round pick Terry and Arnold there starting safety

648
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 5: as well Brian Branch, both expressing their condolences.

649
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 4: On social media.

650
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 5: And the thing that just is so incredibly heartbreaking is

651
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 5: something like this is so easily avoidable if you do

652
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 5: not get behind the wheel. Yeah drunk, And that is

653
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 5: that's what this all comes down to. It's the most

654
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 5: selfish thing you can possibly do. There are things like

655
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 5: uber and Lift and even good old fashioned cabs still exist,

656
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 5: and it's just there's absolutely no excuse for something like

657
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 5: this because you can take the lives, and you can

658
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 5: take away opportunities, and you can take away someone's son, brother,

659
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 5: all of that kind of stuff. I mean, apart from

660
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 5: his unfulfilled potential, Kyie Jackson's unfilled potential on the field,

661
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 5: this was a life just taken completely too short, too sudden,

662
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 5: and for no good reason. So I just let this

663
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 5: again serve as a warning, do not get behind the

664
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 5: wheel if you have had something to drink.

665
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't do it.

666
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: Oh, Okay, real quick pivot here before we go to break.

667
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: This week, we're talking about Joey b Off the top

668
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: of the show is his fashion fashion sound. But we

669
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: also heard Burrough mentioned he's not a fan of top

670
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: five lists.

671
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: Did you see this?

672
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: He said he feels like it takes away from certain

673
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: people's accomplishments. He said, the best guy on Sunday may

674
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: not be the best the next Sunday, And with all

675
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: the ups and downs in the league, it doesn't serve

676
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: anybody to make those lists, which I'm gonna say it's

677
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: also easy to say when you are one of the

678
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: top five guys. I feel like that's a very much

679
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: like I am the best, so I don't need to

680
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: talk about who the best is.

681
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 5: It is so subjective, but also it is it's always just.

682
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 4: Be any cooler. This man always says like the right things.

683
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 4: That's so cool.

684
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 5: He's so just like chill about everything. He goes and

685
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 5: does his stuff in silence and then pops up like

686
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 5: we were talking about Paris Fashion Week in a backless suit,

687
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 5: just looking.

688
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: All kind and he was in con Yeah he was

689
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: in conn Yeah, he was doing like all the stuff

690
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: in France. Popped over to Paris, did the fashion show,

691
00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: made his way to like Ruben's infamous white party at

692
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: it by the way, I have met him, and he

693
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: is he is a cool guy. He throws all the

694
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: player parties at all the events, and so he did

695
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: the All Star Game like MLB party last year he

696
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: had just flown in from Summer League. I was like,

697
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: you are a machine, sir, an actual machine.

698
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 4: Yes, machine of fun.

699
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 5: No, yes, but I mean yeah, Joey is like a

700
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 5: whole other level of stardom. And like he started as

701
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 5: you know, the national champion LSU Tigers. There's that infamous

702
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 5: photo of Joe Burrow first cigar, with the cigar cigar.

703
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 5: That's where it all began. It all began with the cigar,

704
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 5: or the or the jersey where he spelled his last

705
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 5: name with the eaux, which is a very New Orleans

706
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 5: way or very lousy in a way to spell your

707
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 5: name Burrow. Uh huh. Just all levels of cool. Entirely

708
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 5: too cool for this league. But I really appreciate him

709
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 5: saying all of this because it's it is true, like

710
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 5: everything is so subjective.

711
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 4: And it's wonderful for.

712
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,479
Speaker 5: Us because it's content and to be able to like

713
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 5: engage with these top five lists and everybody has their

714
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 5: own and stuff like that. But I think when it

715
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 5: comes down to it, It's just about respect for players,

716
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 5: uh huh. And they all respect each other, so why

717
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 5: why put them in a ranking? Because hey, I respect you,

718
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 5: you respect me as an opponent. I think you're a

719
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 5: great player. Let's leave it at that.

720
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think obviously Patrick Mahomes is on his own level.

721
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: He is the current dynasty and in the league.

722
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he has the hardware to.

723
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: Prey and then there's yeah, then there's tears. All right.

724
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,480

785
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 5: on vacation last week and the way that I did

786
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 5: not pay attention to anything on social media.

787
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 4: I was on vacation.

788
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 5: If you guys know me and Alex and I have

789
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 5: talked about this multiple times. I'm terminally online.

790
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: I'm always my mine while we're doing the show, you guys,

791
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: and I am looking over at her.

792
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 3: I'm like, she's reading. She's been listening to me right now.

793
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. She might plays.

794
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 5: I can multitask. I'm one of the best at it.

795
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 5: I am always online. I'm always going down rabbit holes.

796
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 5: I'm on TikTok, i am on Instagram, I'm on Twitter. Yeah,

797
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 5: I totally just did not. I opened Instagram like occasionally

798
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 5: to post or like whatever because there was so many

799
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 5: wonderful things that was in quiet. Yeah, but I did

800
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 5: not partake into strolling.

801
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: I call that selfish posting, where you're like, I just

802
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: need a break. I am going to post for myself

803
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna look at anybody else, and you

804
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: post and then you turn it off.

805
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 4: And that's what I did. Get me, so I completely disassociated.

806
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: Well, I got a bunch, then I'm gonna keep going. Okay,

807
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: do have a dog on your team. USA Gymnastics has

808
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: employed a Golden Retriever therapy dog named Bacon, and his

809
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: job is to help calm the athletes and coaches. He

810
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: picks up on their stress and then will pull to

811
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: them immediately to help. So this four year old little

812
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: golden cut.

813
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 3: He has his own credentials.

814
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: It is at all the meats and practices with USA.

815
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 4: So how is that not commonplace? Because that's so true?

816
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 5: Like these guys, dogs are real, Oh my god, and

817
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 5: these these athletes are under so much pressure and so

818
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 5: much stress. The first thing I would want to do

819
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 5: after like getting off the vault and being like, yes,

820
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 5: I want a dog, bade my.

821
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 4: Lap right now?

822
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: I like, I have two dogs, And I tell everybody

823
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: these are my therapy dogs.

824
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 3: They work overtime.

825
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: I literally wake up five to ten minutes before I

826
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: need to so I can sit on my couch and

827
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: literally hold them in my arms.

828
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 3: Forget men, they like, they know, Oh they know, they know.

829
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: Talk to you the intuitive.

830
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 4: We don't deserve them.

831
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: No, Okay, I got another one. Okay, do pay it forward.

832
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: Two fans found the ring that Jalen Brown lost at

833
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: the Celtics Championship parade and gave it back to him,

834
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: this diamond ring. Now Brown returned in return, rewarded the

835
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 1: fans of the opportunity. They're going to attend the team's

836
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: ring ceremony in the fall. And I got to say

837
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: he better like also give them sign jerseys some photos

838
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 1: because that is some epic karma for the fans because

839
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: it was like a diamond ring, he's a juice on

840
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: it had his nickname on it, like.

841
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 5: Wild Yeah, oh my gosh, especially because like you could

842
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 5: probably sell that for like.

843
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 3: A lot, uh huh no.

844
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 5: But good on them, and good on Jaylan Brown for

845
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 5: being like, you know, I'm gonna then I'm gonna take

846
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 5: care of you for doing that. And it's so easy

847
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 5: to do too, because all Jalen Brown has to do

848
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 5: is tell pre Celtics pr and be like, hey, these

849
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 5: people need to be this this and then.

850
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: They get in some jerseys like get them six seeds,

851
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: take photos.

852
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 5: It'll be a great content thing for Celtics social media.

853
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna be It's gonna wins every everybody involved. Okay,

Speaker 1: I got to cover a World Cup, and I will

881
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: say there was nothing cooler experience wise, being on the

882
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: field covering Team USA as an embedded reporter, hearing the

883
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: USA chance in a sold out arena in France, like

884
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: all over France, covered in chills, just like taking in

885
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: the moment.

886
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, American fans, Wow, step your game up.

887
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: That that was probably the most magical US fan experience

888
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: I had had. But like, I want to experience these

889
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,920

00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: Columbia versus Panama or Guy versus Brazil later tonight. Random

894
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: thought here though, because we've been watching a lot of

895
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,160

Speaker 1: any commercials that haunt your dreams? Because I have two

898
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: commercials that I either have to change the channel or

899
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: mute the TV when they come on because I won't

900
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: be able to sleep at night if I hear it

901
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: repeat in my head and it's BK, have it your

902
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: way this song cars for Kids. Oh I can't do

Speaker 5: whole life. No, honestly, I will say not that one.

910
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 5: But I have like callbacks to certain commercials where like

911
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 5: I will randomly make reference to them and like say

912
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 5: a one liner from that commercial and nobody understands me

913
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 5: because it's just stuck on.

914
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 3: A loop in my couple that slap, right, there's a

915

Speaker 5: And then at the end of the commercial, Cam's like what,

922
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 5: And then this little kid is just like circling his arm.

923
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 5: He's like, it's fine, I'm just warming up my arm.

00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 5: I mean, being not to the ground on a a

952
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 5: couple of routines screens is not great.

953
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: No, but you have to imagine, like everybody's gonna know,

Speaker 1: everybody's gunning for him.

955

Speaker 1: You got here because of your dad, Like that's like

957
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: he is going to like not to the extent of

958

961
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 4: I'm sure he's ready for it.

962
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: The California Classic is happening right now with a Brownie

963
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: James making his Lakers Summer League debut. But let's start

964
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: with the biggest move, the biggest news move this week,

965
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: and that was Klay Thompson leaving the Warriors and choosing

966
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: the MAVs over the Lakers.

967
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 3: Now, there's a lot to unpack here.

968
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: Starting with first, I think we could say the Warriors

969
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: dynasty is coming to an end, like the Splash Brothers

970
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: Gone Baby three.

971
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, that had to have been kind of the foregone

972
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 5: conclusion after they lost the plan, Like it was just

973
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 5: you just felt it, well yeah right there, and then

974
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 5: that like this was this was not gonna last. There

975
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 5: were going to be departures.

976
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

977
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 5: The also was like, yeah, the writing was on the

978
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 5: writing was on the wall. And honestly, the Warriors really

979
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 5: couldn't afford to pay the amount that they were paying

980
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 5: for a team that isn't winning.

981
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: No, and after thirteen seasons, like you got four NBA titles,

982
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: and he was reportedly he said miserable in his final

983
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: season with everything from his declining role to how the

984
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,720
Speaker 1: contract negotiations went because he wasn't getting the big deals

985
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: but everyone else was. He felt disrespected after the team

986
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: didn't offer him that contract extension after their twenty twenty

987
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: two title run. But I like, I understand both sides,

988
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: Clay side, he gave so much to this team everything,

989
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: four titles, battling back from two major injuries, two injuries,

990
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,280
Speaker 1: this two full seasons back to back with his ACL

991
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: and his torn achilles. But then at the end of

992
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: the day, on the Warriors side, this is a business.

993
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that those injuries work against him.

994
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: Too, and he wasn't playing up to the Clay numbers

995
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: of the past before both of those injuries, and they

996
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: weren't willing to give him a thanks for what you

997
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: did for us contract, like we saw obviously Lakers did

998
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: that with Kobe.

999
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 3: But like that's something.

1000
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 1: That Lakers take care of their people, as we're seeing

1001
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: right now with Lebron, James and Frani and everybody. That's

1002
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: just what they do. That's what they do. But Golden

1003
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: State did say they're gonna retire they can't wait to

1004
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: retire his number eleven jersey. They release a statement saying

1005
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: they look forward to the day that they can retire.

1006
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: Do not retire a jersey until they're out of the league.

1007
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: Is that is that how it works? I yeah, I

1008
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: think I feel like that was otherwise it would have

1009
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: just don't think.

1010
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 5: I don't think it's a hard fast rule, hard nutral

1011
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 5: but I think that that's kind of how everything is done.

1012
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: Okay, But I mean, he's gonna get a statue like

1013
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: he helped build that dynasty.

1014
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, but for as low maintenance as we talked about

1015
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 5: he is, Yeah, for him to you know, feel disrespected,

1016
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 5: to not be happy, clearly he needed change of senior,

1017
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 5: which we saw after they lost that plan game, and

1018
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 5: he I don't know if you recall he the arena.

1019
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: Well, he also wiped his social media of all Warriors,

1020
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 1: he did that.

1021
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 5: But he even before that, he left the arena without

1022
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 5: taking a shower, without changing out of his uniform.

1023
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 4: He just got up and dipped.

1024
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 3: He was done.

1025
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 5: He was like, I mean, I think and I think

1026
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 5: the first clue right, and I think everybody thought everybody

1027
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 5: was overreacting about that, but clearly that wasn't the case.

1028
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 5: And it's it's it's a hard thing when an organization

1029
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 5: which I mean, he's a homegrown guy, he's only ever

1030
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 5: known the Warriors, and to part with a guy like that,

1031
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 5: rather than to continue to build your team around him,

1032
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 5: which I think was an option that the Warriors had.

1033
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 5: It was like, if you wanted to end up giving

1034
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:46,919
Speaker 5: him that maxial and all of that kind of stuff,

1035
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 5: which we clearly knew that that probably wasn't the case

1036
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 5: after they didn't give him.

1037
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 4: The extension earlier before the season.

1038
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 5: But I mean, if I'm Klay Thompson and I've come

1039
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 5: up in this organization and I've won all these champage

1040
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 5: and done all this for this team, obviously, that's my

1041
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 5: expectations that they continue to build around me.

1042
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what, Clay knew it was the

1043
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 1: end of the road all last year. He actually asked

1044
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: Steph Curry not to use his organizational poll to try

1045
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: to keep him, and he reached out to Draymond Green,

1046
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: and Draymond talked about this on his podcast where they

1047
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: were kind of like reminiscing on the good old days.

1048
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 8: And I must say, I don't really know how I

1049
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 8: feel about it. Clay told us last week, Uh, I

1050
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 8: don't know who all he told me. I know he

1051
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,959
Speaker 8: talked to me pretty sure. He talked to Steph last

1052
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 8: week and he just.

1053
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 12: Kind of was like yeah, man, like you know, just

1054
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,720
Speaker 12: kind of started talking through the year, it's like been great,

1055
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 12: well we've done is so special, Like you know, you

1056
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 12: and Steph, my brothers, and the conversation just kind of

1057
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 12: starts as small talk and like you kind of just

1058
00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 12: prepping yourself, like man, get me there, like I know

1059
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 12: it's covin, Like you're enjoying the conversation. But yet it's

1060
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 12: kind of one of those moments so where like somebody

1061
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 12: like building you up before they blow, They just kind

1062
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 12: of build you up.

1063
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's gonna be weird to see him in

1064
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: a different uniform. But let's talk about that different uniform.

1065
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: Because Clay chose the MAVs over the Lakers, even though

1066
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 1: he had a ton of personal connections to the Lakers.

1067
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: His father was part of Showtime Lakers at won two

1068
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: titles in eighty seven and eighty eight, and he tried

1069
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,439
Speaker 1: to persuade Clay to go to La As we talked

1070
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: to Mark Mendina earlier, who talked to his father, Michael Thompson,

1071
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: who said he was trying to.

1072
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 3: Use He literally pulled out every trick out of the

1073
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 3: hat to.

1074
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 4: Try to get a dad guilt, Like dad guilt.

1075
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 8: You know.

1076
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 1: You said Kobe like is your all time favorite player.

1077
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: You could represent him, like you could have a chance

1078
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: to play for his team. We always talked about that

1079
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: if you weren't all the Warriors, you'd be on the Lakers.

1080
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: But obviously, like he felt the MAVs were a better

1081
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,720
Speaker 1: opportunity for him to win. Now didn't want to maybe

1082
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: go to the Lebron project with JJ being a first

1083
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: time coach, and I mean Lakers did not get any

1084
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: big name free agents. No, so you have to believe

1085
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: players might not believe this is a championship team right now.

1086
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think maybe from the outside, the outside perception

1087
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 5: of the Lakers and that, yeah, they're not a championship team.

1088
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 5: But I'll tell you what, huh again, you just can't

1089
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 5: count out a Lebron. No, and if you look at

1090
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 5: the Lakers championship team, their bubble team, Yeah, Lebron averaged

1091
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 5: less points per game than he averaged this past season

1092
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 5: with a pretty similar supporting cast. Yeah, I mean I

1093
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 5: think on the and in fact this past year, five

1094
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 5: players on the Lakers had averaged double digits per.

1095
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 4: Game in twenty twenty.

1096
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just wore players they needed like another They

1097
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: needed another shooter, which I think they'll They could get

1098
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: the first round pick in Dalton connect He is a aall

1099
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: around rate shooter which could help the Lakers there. But again,

1100
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: I said it, I'll say it again. What would motivate

1101
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: the greatest player to want to win? Yes, it's more

1102
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: than winning for himself, it's wanting to win with his

1103
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: son well and then create that history.

1104
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 5: That's what I was getting towards was like, Lebron has

1105
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 5: been able to will this team with a very similar cast.

1106
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 4: To a championship. Why can't he do it again? Especially

1107
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 4: when everything.

1108
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 5: Rides on Lebron right now, everything because of the fact

1109
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 5: that he's the one that installed JJ Reddick. Like, let's

1110
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 5: not let's be crystal clear about this. Yes, Lebron had

1111
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 5: everything to do with that decision. So now Lebron is

1112
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 5: this player coach working in tandem with your first time

1113
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 5: head coach. This is all on Lebron's shoulders and that's

1114
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 5: the way he wants it.

1115
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, So now you just got to like, there's all

1116
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:45,959
Speaker 1: the motivating the result.

1117
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 5: But I think that is very internalized with the Lakers.

1118
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 5: I can't speak to the rest of the league clearly,

1119
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 5: who doesn't isn't in that locker room, doesn't you know,

1120
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:59,959
Speaker 5: necessarily have all those conversations with Lebron. I completely unders

1121
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 5: how why Clay Thompson decided to take his chances with

1122
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 5: the Mavericks instead, who got to the finals, who were

1123
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 5: a couple of games away from winning.

1124
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: Like Luca's one, like Tom player player in the league,

1125
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 1: right now.

1126
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 5: Right one of the top players still ascending. And if

1127
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 5: you can get the Kyrie Irving you had in the

1128
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 5: postseason for the you know, for again.

1129
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: He could be their missing piece to yes take down

1130
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: Boston because they're like.

1131
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 5: You think about Clay, Kyrie and Luca. I mean, that's

1132
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 5: a great, great triple threat.

1133
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, if you can get Clay back to just

1134
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: anything a little better. The last few seasons.

1135
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 5: Start with health first of all with Lay Thompson. But

1136
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 5: then yeah, I mean I think and I think a

1137
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 5: change of scenery will do that.

1138
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 1: It does, it does with a lot of people. Now

1139
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: another change of scenery. Another big move this week, Chris

1140
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,240
Speaker 1: Paul agreed to a one year deal with the Spurs

1141
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: after being waived by the Warriors at the start of

1142
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: free agency. And he is one of the most established

1143
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 1: veterans in the league going into his twentieth season. And

1144
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: I love this move because I think it is so

1145
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:03,760
Speaker 1: important for these young superstars to have a veteran mentor

1146
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: we've seen it in the past. So Wenby is now

1147
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: getting a father figure, great veteran who like Draymond Green

1148
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: was even again in the same podcast he went talking

1149
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: about like obviously his teammates that are no longer on

1150
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: his team anymore. He goes, I mean, I'm a vet too.

1151
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: I thought like I was learning from Chris Paul. I

1152
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 1: wanted to listen to everything he was saying. We even

1153
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: heard Dwayne Wade talk about this, how Shack did this

1154
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: for him in Miami when he arrived in his second year, saying,

1155
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: he walked me through how to be myself and how

1156
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: to be a superstar. And they kind of showed this

1157
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: and talked about this in Dwayne Wade's documentary.

1158
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 3: But it is night and day.

1159
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: Just imagine having just having that kind of support and

1160
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: someone that you can ask these questions to when you

1161
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,800
Speaker 1: are a rising superstar and you're having a veteran superstar

1162
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: coming into a place.

1163
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 5: I mean, Chris Paul belongs to the Lebron James era.

1164
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 5: A veterans. Yes, that's the thing, Like there are veterans, yeah,

1165
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:03,919
Speaker 5: like ad then there are veterans, yeah, And Chris Paul

1166
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 5: is a veteran. So he absolutely should be installed in

1167
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 5: some of these teams if he wants to keep playing.

1168
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 5: He's not going to be the Chris Paul that we're

1169
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 5: used to from ten years ago. No, no, no, no, but

1170
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 5: he's there to be that guiding presence and again a mentor,

1171
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 5: player coach type guy on the bench, really helping to

1172
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 5: develop and get the most out of your young superstars.

1173
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I love that.

1174
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 1: I love that too. Now the other big move Paul

1175
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: George to Philly. We got a new It starts at

1176
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 1: the Wall. Philly agreed to a four year deals which

1177
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 1: creates the new Big Three of Paul George, Joel Embiid

1178
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: and Tyrese MAXI but I mean the seventy six ers

1179
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:41,760
Speaker 1: have had other.

1180
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 3: Big names to try to make this work.

1181
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 4: It's just a rotation.

1182
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,800
Speaker 1: Simmons, Big Three, Chaser Harden, Jimmy Butler.

1183
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm a glass half full kind of a person.

1184
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: So you hope someone as great as Joel and b

1185
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: can finally figure out that missing piece and get to.

1186
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 3: The Eastern Conference finals.

1187
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: He's only made it to the Semis, and Paul George

1188
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: has gotten to the conference finals in both the East

1189
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: and the West with the Pacers and Clippers.

1190
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 5: So I mean, is he going to be that missing

1191
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 5: piece with all these rotating this rotating cast of big threes.

1192
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,720
Speaker 4: The law of averages says, one of these has you.

1193
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 3: Can hope so, but I mean we're kind of like we.

1194
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 1: Haven't really seen a Big three as of late, Click

1195
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:19,720
Speaker 1: and work.

1196
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,280
Speaker 3: No, it's true, but again I'm in the declining.

1197
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 5: They're trying to make it happen. They're throwing darts against

1198
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 5: the wall. Paul George is their latest attempt, and we're

1199
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 5: going to see if.

1200
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: It will well. See, We're gonna take a quick break here,

Speaker 1: Right, you guys. Once again, Caitlyn Clark, it's taken over today.

1222
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 3: It was the first triple double ever by a rookie.

1223
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: Not surprised, and.

1224
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 5: She again she did it against the best team in

1225
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 5: the league, the New York Liberty. This is the best

1226
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 5: team in the league and the Fever, who last year

1227
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 5: were one of the worst teams in the league the.

1228
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: Last two years.

1229
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 3: That's why they got the first overall pick.

1230
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 5: The improvement by the Fever, led by Caitlyn Clark is

1231
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 5: nothing short of amazing and she deserves all of her

1232
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 5: flowers for that and this is just the latest example

1233
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 5: of it.

1234
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 4: So she had the.

1235
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 5: First triple double in WNBA history as a rookie against

1236
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 5: the best team in the league. It's incredible.

1237
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 1: Yep, let's add to this buzz because this week it

1238
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: was all all about the All Star Game. The w

1239
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: NBA All Star Team was announced and Kaitlyn Clark and

1240
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: Angel Reese are the moment they are the only like

1241
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: only first time All Stars in the group. But the

1242
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: fan voting, you guys, this is what we need to

1243
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: talk about. Yeah, for this year's game skyrocketed like this,

1244
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: this jump and fan voting, you guys, says it all.

1245
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:29,919
Speaker 1: It's insane. Kitlyn Clark finished with the most votes ever,

1246
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: over seven hundred thousand votes. Last year's leading vote getter

1247
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 1: less than ninety six thousand.

1248
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 4: It's wild.

1249
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 3: It jumped from ninety six thousand to seven hundred thousand.

1250
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 5: In the WNBA. Fan voting accounts for fifty percent of

1251
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 5: someone's score to make the.

1252
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 4: All Star team.

1253
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 5: So like, it's important, more important than pretty much any

1254
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 5: of the major leagues as far as like the weight

1255
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 5: that fan voting is given. So the fact that there

1256
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 5: was this much more part participation and the fact that

1257
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 5: Caitlyn Clark bested the last total blew it out of

1258
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 5: the water over seven times more.

1259
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: Also, her teammate, Her teammate got the second most votes

1260
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: with six hundred and eighteen thousand.

1261
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 3: Yes, so yeah, and even the Kaitlyn Clark effect.

1262
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 4: Angel Reese had three hundred and eighteen thousand vos.

1263
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's just it's a it's asia Wilson.

1264
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 3: We want to stewart Angel Reese.

1265
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 4: Like momentum is continuing and we.

1266
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: Read it is like these rookies have lived up to

1267
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: all of the hype. And this is another thing that's

1268
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: going to make this All Star Game interesting. Is Caitlin

1269
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: Clark playing with Angel Reese for the first time ever

1270
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 1: and they will be playing against the US Women's Olympic team.

1271
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 5: Yeah no, and this has happened before, so this is

1272
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 5: like back in ahead of the Tokyo Olympics. Team WNBA

1273
00:59:55,840 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 5: actually defeated Team USA behind twenty six points from the

1274
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 5: Dallas Wings guard at Rique Goombwallee, who was left off

1275
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 5: the Olympic roster. And I said it at the time

1276
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 5: when we were talking about if Kaitlyn Clark was a snub,

1277
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 5: I was like, you know who this biggest snub was.

1278
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 5: It was a Riguae Goombawally. And I think that we're

1279
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 5: gonna see something like that. But to your point, Angel

1280
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 5: Rees and Caitlyn Clark playing on the same roster, here's

1281
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 5: the thing about their rivalry though it's always been driven

1282
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 5: by the fact that they are opponents, yes.

1283
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,439
Speaker 4: But they have a healthy respect for each other.

1284
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 3: Well, it's gonna be so I don't think there's gonna.

1285
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 4: Be any friction or anything.

1286
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 5: They're on the same team, they've got the same goal,

1287
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 5: They're going to work together. I can't wait to see

1288
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 5: them join forces in fact, because they do have such

1289
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 5: a respect for each other's and they're allowed to not

1290
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 5: like each other on the court with their opponents. That's

1291
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 5: what these games are all about.

1292
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 3: Like, it is going to be absolutely insane.

1293
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,439
Speaker 1: Also interesting to see if, like Caitlin Clark goes off

1294
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: like showing and proving that like she got snubbed, because

1295
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 1: even after she was aware, she is so aware of

1296
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: everything going in the media. I'm just going to use

1297
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: sess motivation for the next Olympic team. That's how I'm

1298
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 1: going to get there. She's also aware of the attention

1299
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: and the hype that her and Angel Reese are getting

1300
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: for the All Star Games opposed to the Olympic team

1301
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: and all of the other All Stars, and she said, obviously,

1302
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: this is something that's really hard to accomplish, so the

1303
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 1: best we can celebrate all of them will be great.

1304
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna obviously soak it in and the experience,

1305
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: because you never know if you're gonna be able to

1306
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: get back there and it's going to be fun for

1307
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 1: all of us for sure. But she keeps trying to deflect,

1308
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: and it's like, Caitlyn, you're the chosen one. It's all

1309
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 1: about you and the moment. You can like respect everyone

1310
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 1: else's feelings, but girl, like live it up, glow up.

1311
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: Angel Reese is like getting like headfirst into this, and

1312
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: I think it's time for Kaitlyn Clark to like embody like, yes, okay,

1313
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: this is me with the confidence.

1314
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess.

1315
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 5: But at the same time, Kaitlyn Clark, that's never been her,

1316
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 5: even her being the most famous women's college basketball player

1317
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 5: at Iowa for multiple years running.

1318
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 3: She never she always it's always been deflecting.

1319
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 5: She's always that's who she is as a person. And

1320
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 5: wait for the moment of the tumble.

1321
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 1: But also like, girl, you are the reason for so

1322
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: much incredible change for women's basketball right now, have a

1323
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: moment and just like be there and not have to

1324
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: talk about any I do.

1325
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 5: I do appreciate that her realizing like she brought a

1326
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 5: lot of attention there, but it's because it was already

1327
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 5: a great product that this attention is now staying.

1328
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 1: Also, let's go Caitlyn Clark. Okay, now let's check in

1329
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 1: with Brian Fenley and see what's trending.

1330
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:37,479
Speaker 7: Yes, Alex and Carmen, we are on Bronnie James watch yeah,

1331
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 7: and this is his first Summer league game in the

1332
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 7: NBA is playing out right now?

1333
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 1: Are they doing?

1334
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 4: Let's just say there.

1335
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 7: Are a lot of critics out there on social media.

1336
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 7: If I were Brownie, if I was brought off social media,

1337
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 7: stay off social media right now. People are lusting over

1338
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 7: his struggles out there, which look, it's his first first half.

1339
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 7: I can't wait Summer League basketball.

1340
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 5: I can't wait for like the song lyric whatever, like

1341
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 5: people praying on my downfalling. Let's see yeh like you know,

1342
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 5: just like the cryptic tweets and stuff that are gonna come.

1343
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 4: I can't wait.

1344
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 7: It's all coming. But right now, if you look at

1345
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 7: his numbers, he is one of six from the floor.

1346
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 7: His one bucket was a layup and he got it

1347
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 7: on a dribble handoff at the top of the key

1348
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 7: and he took it right to the rim. He's gotten

1349
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 7: crossed up a few times, and there are some videos

1350
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 7: out there about that. That's not the greatest thing he

1351
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 7: wants out there, and then there was this time he

1352
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 7: ran into a screen and he fell right to the ground.

1353
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: That's not great, yikes, so say on social media.

1354
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 7: Yes, it's a welcome to the NBA moment moment for him.

1355
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 7: And the score of this this game is obviously meaningless.

1356
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 7: But as of right now that the Kings are in

1357
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 7: front at the half forty seven to forty one. You

1358
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 7: were talking about Caitlin Clark and what she did first

1359
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 7: double double scuty triple double by a rookie in WNBA history,

1360
01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 7: nineteen points, thirteen assists and twelve rebounds. And the Fever

1361
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 7: in car when you mentioned this really tough team, the

1362
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 7: Fever had to come back and beat It was the

1363
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 7: Liberty eighty three to seventy eight. Exactly. The Liberty the

1364
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 7: best team in the league. The Hornets are very far

1365
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 7: from that, but according to the Athletic Miles Bridges gets

1366
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 7: three years and seventy five million dollars to stay with

1367
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 7: that team. We're also hearing, according to ESPN, that New

1368
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 7: York Nick's assistant Johnny Bryant has agreed to terms to

1369
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:33,439
Speaker 7: become the associate head coach for the Cleveland Cavaliers. There's

1370
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 7: also news about DeMar DeRozan in Sacramento this weekend listening

1371
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 7: to those recruiting pitches from the Kings. We'll see how

1372
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 7: that all matriculates. Also, the Washington Wizards say no thanks

1373
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 7: to an eleven million dollar option on guard Landry Shammitt

1374
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 7: in his contract. In regards to a little bit more

1375
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 7: somber news, Vikings rookie defensive back Kyrie Jackson, along with

1376
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 7: two others in a vehicle were killed in the three

1377
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 7: recar crashed today. This happened this morning in Maryland, where

1378
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 7: policed there in an early report say that a separate

1379
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 7: automobile that happened to be speeding was trying to change

1380
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 7: lanes on the highway and ended up in the process

1381
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 7: hitting and knocking the car occupied by Jackson and two

1382
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 7: others off the road and into tree stumps. And law

1383
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 7: enforcement feels like there is reason to believe that alcohol

1384
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 7: played a part in this European Championship. England coming up

1385
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 7: with the win against Switzerland so and that was in

1386
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 7: penalty kicks, England advancing to the semifinals, and Netherlands over

1387
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 7: Turkey that is a final as well. And at Wimbledon

1388
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 7: Center Court just wrapped up Novak Djokovic into the fourth

1389
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 7: round after a four set win against Alexei Popperin Also

1390
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 7: the top seeded Egos Fiatec goes down in the third

1391
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 7: round in three sets to Yulia Putinshevo. But as they

1392
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 7: get it back to Karma Vitally and Alex Curry, people

1393
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 7: need to just pump the brakes a little bit with

1394
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 7: the Browny James stuff like, let's.

1395
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 1: I haven't been on social yet, I have been duel.

1396
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: I don't go on social like during shows unless there's

1397
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 1: like breaking news and like I kind of see that happening,

1398
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 1: but like, stay out of the comments, stay out of

1399
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 1: the mansions. Carl is the opposite. I'm like this girl

1400
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 1: never stops scrolling.

1401
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 7: I don't.

1402
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 4: I don't understand why it's so bad.

1403
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 1: My mental health would be so like shout the window

1404
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,439
Speaker 1: if I did this, I like I have now it's

1405
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 1: so shot shot.

1406
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 7: And I don't want to give people the satisfaction of

1407
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 7: being blocked.

1408
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 1: But mute, I.

1409
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want to get some satisfaction either.

1410
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 4: I do not block people. I meet people that.

1411
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 5: I love muting speaking of people, though that is also

1412
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 5: terminally online.

1413
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 4: We have a guest.

1414
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, thank you, Brian.

1415
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:53,919
Speaker 1: Brian, you're listening to Fox Sports Saturday and Alex Career.

1416
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 3: Here with Carbon Vitali.

1417
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: We are broadcasting live from the Tarak dot Com studios

1418
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, and it's time for our next guess.

1419
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: He's the host of NFL and Fox Podcast, a regular

1420
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 1: on Speak on FS one, and a best friend of

1421
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 1: the show. Give it up for Dave Helmet.

1422
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 6: Guys, if we're talking about being terminate online, me the same.

1423
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 4: I will. I will say that about Dave. He absolutely

1424
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 4: put gosh.

1425
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: The two of you. Okay, then fine, Let's start with

1426
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 1: a viral photo this week of Dak Prescott in a

1427
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 1: walking boot. Now, he downplayed it, saying it was just

1428
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 1: part of his regular maintenance following his twenty twenty ankle injury.

1429
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 3: But Dave, you were with the Cowboys for over a decade.

1430
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: Should fans have any concern about Dak heading into training camp?

1431
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 3: Also besides the contract situation.

1432
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 13: Well, the contract for sure. As far as the injury,

1433
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 13: I really don't think so. And I will say when

1434
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 13: stuff like this is concerned, you should always leave room

1435
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 13: for skepticism because teams are going to downplay and they

1436
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 13: you know, especially in.

1437
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 6: The off season. When they don't have to meet with

1438
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 6: the media. You're not going to voluntarily create big stories

1439
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 6: with injuries. But is something this is something we've seen

1440
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 6: from Dak in previous years. Were Yeah, I mean he

1441
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 6: had the horrible leg injury in twenty twenty. He had

1442
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 6: a calf injury a couple of year or two after that,

1443
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 6: So I mean, you know, the guys in his thirties. Now,

1444
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 6: this is I think it's smart maintenance on his part

1445
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 6: to be taken care of it, even if he does

1446
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 6: feel a slight injury. But as far as being legitimately

1447
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 6: worried about it, I'm not. I mean, the Cowboys are

1448
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 6: still three weeks away from getting to training camp, and

1449
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 6: as we all know, training camp goes on forever. I mean,

1450
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 6: teams report to camp six weeks before the start of

1451
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 6: the regular season, so you're still talking probably eight nine

1452
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 6: weeks before the Cowboys play a regular season game. No,

1453
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 6: I don't really think this is a big deal.

1454
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, And also I think you brought this up on Twitter, Dave.

1455
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 5: Like NFL players getting mildly injured is treated completely differently

1456
01:08:58,240 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 5: than you or I getting insured.

1457
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 4: You are going to be in a walking boot.

1458
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 5: At the slightest, the very slightest hint of an injury.

1459
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,680
Speaker 6: Rather, can you imagine? No, if you had if you

1460
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,640
Speaker 6: had access to like state of the art medical facilities,

1461
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 6: then you didn't have to worry about your premium or

1462
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 6: your insurance plan to get an MRI or a walking boot,

1463
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 6: Like wouldn't you do that too? I every every time

1464
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 6: I woke up with a stiff back, I would be like,

1465
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 6: you know.

1466
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 2: What, tell me what's that?

1467
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 5: So I tore my a cl when I was working

1468
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 5: for the Buccaneers in a flag football game and I

1469
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 5: went to our team trainer and I expecting.

1470
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:35,280
Speaker 4: Like, oh, maybe he could get me into the MRI

1471
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 4: like earlier.

1472
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I still had to wait a week for

1473
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 5: my MRI, whereas these guys MRI is like in game

1474
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 5: and I had a tourney.

1475
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, yeah I would.

1476
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 6: I would be living in a walking boot if I

1477
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 6: had an issue if I was a football player. So

1478
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 6: I mean it's something to keep an eye on. But yeah,

1479
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,680
Speaker 6: I think football players who who maybe don't have to

1480
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:55,560
Speaker 6: worry about the bill as much as we do, I

1481
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 6: think they handle things a little bit differently. And no,

1482
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 6: I'm not overly concerned that.

1483
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, Cam Newton also made headlines talking about the

1484
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:06,679
Speaker 1: Cowboys this week, saying they are no longer America's team,

1485
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 1: It's the Chiefs. Now, do you think it's fair to

1486
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:12,599
Speaker 1: take that title from Dallas due to the lack of

1487
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: playoff success recently.

1488
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 6: Look, here's the thing, and I like, I hate to

1489
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 6: burst everybody's bubble because look, I didn't grow up a

1490
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 6: Cowboy fan. I used to resent the Cowboys as well

1491
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 6: as all these so many other people did. But the

1492
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 6: title of America's team has nothing to do with how

1493
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 6: successful you are or how many championships you win. And

1494
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:38,719
Speaker 6: the fact that the Cowboys are approaching thirty years without

1495
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 6: a Super Bowl appearance and they're still as popular as

1496
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 6: they are is evidence that Cam Newton is wrong and

1497
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 6: everybody else that wants to argue with it is wrong,

1498
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 6: because look, guys, I work in that office, and I

1499
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:55,679
Speaker 6: have the data that shows how the Cowboys lack every

1500
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 6: other team in the NFL in terms of page views,

1501
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 6: in terms of fan interest, in terms of the amount

1502
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 6: of traffic they're driving, the amount of ad revenues that

1503
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 6: they're capable of. It's ironic because they don't win enough,

1504
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 6: But it does not seem to matter. The Patriots didn't

1505
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 6: take the title from them, and think about that. Think

1506
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 6: about how much the New England Patriots won from two

1507
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 6: thousand and one to twenty eighteen.

1508
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: And as soon as Tom Brady leck, they're just another team.

1509
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 5: The worst part is I can corroborate all of this

1510
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 5: that Davi is saying because I also worked for a

1511
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 5: team and saw all those numbers, because I worked with

1512
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 5: the marketing department.

1513
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:34,559
Speaker 4: It is sickening.

1514
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 5: Every single piece of content on the Dallas Cowboys dot

1515
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 5: com website does so many numbers.

1516
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 3: Well even more so than the dot com.

1517
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: Like we all work on FS one and they tell us,

1518
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 1: segment by segment how everything rates for every daily.

1519
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,680
Speaker 5: And it's open show. It's dominated by the Cowboys.

1520
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:57,920
Speaker 1: Segments will double or triple any other content on FS one.

1521
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:01,360
Speaker 4: It's sickening, trust me, David, and I can see what.

1522
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 6: I will say is this, And I've been thinking about

1523
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 6: this for a long time. Surely there has to be

1524
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 6: a breaking point, like, surely, surely a day will come.

1525
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 6: Think about the Cowboys got popular in the seventies and

1526
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 6: then that generation raised their kids to be fans, and

1527
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 6: that generation got to experience the nineties. But now we're

1528
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 6: sitting here talking about people in their twenties, thirties, approaching

1529
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 6: forties who have no memory of the Cowboys that's ever

1530
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 6: been good?

1531
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:31,599
Speaker 4: Yep, yeah.

1532
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 6: And then so I think we are going to get

1533
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 6: to a point where it starts to slip unless they

1534
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 6: can finally get over the hump. But I still think

1535
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:43,680
Speaker 6: we are a good bit away from that.

1536
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 4: All right, this is too much cowboys talk, Dave.

1537
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 5: I want to get to something that is near and

1538
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 5: dear to your heart, even though you don't cover it,

1539
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 5: but you are absolutely obsessed and have been obsessed with

1540
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 5: all things soccer, European soccer. You've got the Euros going

1541
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 5: on the KOPA. I want to hear all of the

1542
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 5: things about how the USA just exited the COPA and

1543
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:05,600
Speaker 5: what you think they should.

1544
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 4: Do as far as going forward.

1545
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, are there?

1546
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 3: Berhalter's gone.

1547
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 6: I mean he should be wet. We have so many

1548
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 6: we have so many exciting things we could be talking

1549
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 6: about with the Euros, and we got to bring it

1550
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 6: back to the USA.

1551
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,599
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I want to get your thoughts all week.

1552
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 6: Here's my thought. Jesse Marsh, who is an American manager,

1553
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 6: just took Canada into the semifinals of the COPA. So

1554
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:38,719
Speaker 6: a definitively worse soccer nation, just not as much talent,

1555
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 6: not as many quality players as the USA has nowhere

1556
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 6: near as good of a soccer history. I know that's

1557
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:46,760
Speaker 6: not saying a lot, but it's still true.

1558
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 11: Uh, he just took them into the semifinals of the

1559
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 11: Copa after watching the USA crash out in the group stage.

1560
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 11: I thought the US was floppy obviously.

1561
01:13:58,120 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 6: I mean, the main reason they're out is because they

1562
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 6: had a ridiculous red card in the second match against Panama.

1563
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 3: So you've got to score if you want to win games.

1564
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:09,640
Speaker 6: And I'm going to say exactly exactly, you've got to

1565
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:11,120
Speaker 6: be able to score goals, I mean, to not be

1566
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 6: able to put anything on that. I mean, even obviously

1567
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 6: they wound up winning that game, but you know, it's

1568
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 6: only score two against the really woeful Bolivia team. Just

1569
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 6: kind of indicates how much trouble they had getting the

1570
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 6: ball in the net in what was You'll never you'll

1571
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 6: never have an easier group in a major international tournament

1572
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 6: than the USA just had.

1573
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 1: And yeah, they've got a lot of work to do

1574
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 1: before we host the Olympics.

1575
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 3: But let's talk about the Euros because we've had.

1576
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 1: Some incredible quarter final matches a little too many PKS

1577
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 1: for my liking. I've like personal experience. If I don't

1578
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 1: know if you're listening earlier, but I've I've lost a

1579
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:51,240
Speaker 1: national tournament in PKS, like in the final, and it

1580
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 1: is like the way it takes over my body, the

1581
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:57,759
Speaker 1: anxiety is insane. But who do you have winning the Euros?

1582
01:14:58,520 --> 01:14:59,760
Speaker 1: Who's your pick and why?

1583
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 6: I mean, based on the way these teams have played,

1584
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 6: I think you've got to assume Spain is the favorite.

1585
01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:08,760
Speaker 6: Just I mean, they've they've played so well. You know,

1586
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:11,880
Speaker 6: I thought the way they rallied to win against Germany

1587
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 6: yesterday was incredible. I mean, I think they're the best

1588
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 6: mixture of talent and form. But I mean, eventually, you

1589
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,880
Speaker 6: would think France is going to get it together. I mean,

1590
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:24,640
Speaker 6: I know Achillian and Bape is injured, but it's not

1591
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 6: an injury that for Vince's ability to run or shoot.

1592
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 1: Uh.

1593
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 6: You know that the offense has not been there for

1594
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 6: France throughout this whole tournament. But all it takes is

1595
01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 6: one day, So that semi final is going to be amazing,

1596
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 6: and I would I would guess I'm going with whoever

1597
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:44,599
Speaker 6: wins the Stain France semifinals winning.

1598
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:47,519
Speaker 14: I mean, England and England and Netherlands have both played

1599
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 14: really well, but I still think Spain and France have

1600
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:53,160
Speaker 14: been the stronger overall teams. But when you look at

1601
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:56,800
Speaker 14: it on paper, I mean, this couldn't have gone.

1602
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,560
Speaker 6: Better for the euro organizers.

1603
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you got you got all the big players,

1604
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:02,560
Speaker 1: you got all the big numets.

1605
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 6: You got four of the like five. You know, the

1606
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:08,120
Speaker 6: only team missing probably is Germany in terms.

1607
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: Of like the post country.

1608
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, so yeah, I mean either way, I think, no

1609
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:15,360
Speaker 6: matter how it's all, it's going to be an amazing matchup.

1610
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 6: But if I had to pick the winner, I'm thinking

1611
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 6: it's it's the winner of the France Fame semi final.

1612
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 1: Can we all we're gonna we're all gonna go to

1613
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 1: a watch party for these because I need some sort

1614
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 1: of like European celebration soccer celebration in my vap.

1615
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 6: Absolutely, yes, a great European let's find it.

1616
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 1: Let's find it. We're all neighbors, so let's let's go

1617
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,040

1626
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 1: feel good story of the week because we are just

1627
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 1: weeks away from the Olympics and you guys, Simone Bios

1628
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 1: is heading back to the Olympics after earning her spot

1629
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: on the US gymnastics team last week. And if you

1630
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 1: watched her floor routine, incredible, Oh my god, did you

1631
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:17,679
Speaker 1: see the perfection? Did Taylor Swift?

1632
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 5: Did you see the members of the US men's gymnastics

1633
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:21,240
Speaker 5: team try her skills?

1634
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:23,679
Speaker 4: No? Oh god, it was so funny.

1635
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 1: Oh I need to see that.

1636
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:25,960
Speaker 4: It was so funny.

1637
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:29,760
Speaker 5: There was like between like the uneven bars and some

1638
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 5: of the beam work because the guys don't do beam.

1639
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's like the guys couldn't even do She is

1640
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 15: in a league of wild own. But this is the

1641
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:43,200
Speaker 15: really cool part that I love her. Husband, Bear Safety

1642
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 15: Jonathan Owens, will be by her side because Chicago has

1643
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 15: reportedly given Owens time off during training camp this summer

1644
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 15: so he can travel to Paris to watch his wife

1645
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:54,839
Speaker 15: compete for Team USA.

1646
01:17:55,160 --> 01:18:00,120
Speaker 1: Now, this, you guys, is the perfect excuse to mismaity

1647
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:03,720
Speaker 1: have unlike Aaron Rodgers being in Egypt. Just gonna put

1648
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 1: that out there. This is a great excuse. And obviously,

1649
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: like Simone is making one of the biggest comebacks we've

1650
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,559
Speaker 1: seen in the Olympics because if you remember after the

1651
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 1: twenty twenty Olympics, she got the twisties, which is kind

1652
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: of like the yips in every other sport.

1653
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 4: And she couldn't track herself in the air everything.

1654
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:25,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's a documentary out now where she talks about it.

1655
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:28,799
Speaker 1: There's like she lost it, you lose yourself, like mid twisted.

1656
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 1: Not only bad for her, but like terrifying.

1657
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 3: For her life.

1658
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 4: Right, Oh no, you can't.

1659
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:37,640
Speaker 1: It is the most dangerous thing you can do, right.

1660
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: And Simobiles is the most decorated gymnast in history, male

1661
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:46,559
Speaker 1: or female. This is a huge moment for her and

1662
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 1: her family. And I love that he gets to be there.

1663
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, And honestly, this speaks a lot, I think

1664
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 5: to the Bear's culture and the front office and the

1665
01:18:56,360 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 5: changing of everything that Ryan Poles and Mattie Berflu have

1666
01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:03,400
Speaker 5: preached as far as culture goes, which is like your

1667
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:05,720
Speaker 5: family comes first, and we're a tight knit group and

1668
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 5: we understand that there are things bigger than football. All

1669
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 5: this other stuff that breeds a good culture is now

1670
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 5: being like they're walking the walk with it and they're saying, listen,

1671
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 5: your wife is going to do this incredible thing.

1672
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:18,639
Speaker 4: You should absolutely be there.

1673
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:20,960
Speaker 5: Doesn't matter if you miss a couple of days of

1674
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 5: training camp, and especially in the early goings of training camp. Also,

1675
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 5: Jonathan Owens is a rotational safety for the Bears, and

1676
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:30,479
Speaker 5: this is a new like it's a new team for

1677
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:33,639
Speaker 5: him because it's in the Packers. But at the same time,

1678
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 5: this clearly there's things bigger than football and the Bears

1679
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 5: understand that. And I really appreciate that the Bears are

1680
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 5: going to be on hard knocks this year for training camp.

1681
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:42,480
Speaker 4: You're going to get to see.

1682
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 5: Leave and come back. I'm sure they're going to have

1683
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 5: a camera group. I'm sure they're going to have a

1684
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 5: camera with him in Paris. I applaud the Bears for

1685
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 5: doing this, but I also I mean this is just

1686
01:19:56,760 --> 01:20:01,599
Speaker 5: an incredible moment for a sports power couple, especially where

1687
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 5: you know Simone.

1688
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 1: Is she is gymnastics, she is US gymnastics. She is gymnastics.

1689
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 1: She is the most decorated gymnast man or woman.

1690
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:13,599
Speaker 5: And I love to see her husband going to support

1691
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 5: her and really being there for her because this is

1692
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 5: a big feat that she's attempting to do. Is overcoming

1693
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:23,440
Speaker 5: everything she overcame mental health wise and now growing.

1694
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 1: Just in the twenty twenty. I am so excited. And

1695
01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 1: gymnastics is gymnastics and ice skating I think are My

1696
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 1: two favorite Olympics was to watch.

1697
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:36,000
Speaker 5: Gymnastics in the summer. I mean that is what I

1698
01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 5: think of when I think of the summer.

1699
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 1: Is gymnastics. That was everything that was like my childhood. Yeah,

1700
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 1: I am so excited.

1701
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 4: I am so.
