159
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: Is a little a little stronger and a little different

160
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: tastes to us. I'm I'm not gonna say it. I'm

161
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: just I don't know what's in that.

Speaker 2: That's it. That's it. That's I gotta stay in plug.

167
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: I got too many kids to pay for. What is it?

168
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 4: The The prime directive is that what it is like

169
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 4: on Star Trek. The prime directive is to keep me

170
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 4: employed for the next five years old, you got usc

171
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 4: Chris ain't never thumbs up that fast. I thought he

172
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: was Josh hardy.

173
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: Am I right? Is that what it is? The prime directive?

174
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 7: I am like the second of a generation of Trekkies.

175
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 7: Like my aunt was a Trekkie. I'm a trackie. I

176
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 7: love starting, But you.

177
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 4: Know, I've been doing him for years and I ain't

178
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 4: never seen him start.

179
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: Don't you know what's crazy?

180
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: Just seriously, Yeah, I've been watching the fifty five year

181
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 4: like behind the scenes on on Star Trek. I've been

182
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 4: watching and it's just weird. Lucille Ball is the one

183
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 4: who saved Star Trek. Star Trek was not going to

184
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 4: be Yeah.

185
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: People don't know that. It wasn't as highly rated as

186
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: we thought it was.

187
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 4: Well, but but Desilu Production whatever and NBC didn't want

188
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 4: to pay for the pilot and they were like, we're

189
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: not paying for it, and they paid for half and

190
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 4: Lucy had to come up with the money to pay

191
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 4: for the other half. And that's actually how Star Trek

192
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 4: got produced in order to even be a show.

193
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: And they had to keep and they tried to cancel it,

194
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: as you know, and then they kept coming back because

195
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: fans were like, no, Na, nah, so yeah.

196
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: Shout start shot at USC Chris, my gosh, he was turned.

197
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 4: All right, Uh he was turned, but everybody wasn't turned

198
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 4: At the end, I thought we better not.

199
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: I'm just telling them ruined my Vietnamese coffee high right now.

200
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know.

201
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 4: This is one where it'd be great to hear from people,

202
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 4: And we're gonna hear from Timothy Parker, a reporter here

203
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles, who was there. Yeah, all weekend long.

204
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 4: You saw the videos and the pictures, empty seats.

205
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 2: I was there.

206
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: I do want to ask Saturday, I need you to

207
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: be walking through some of the stuff we saw outwardly

208
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: since you were in, I.

209
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: Didn't want you to walk me through Saturday.

210
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: I was just shocked at there were nobody at the

211
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 4: concession stands.

212
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: No.

213
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 4: And when I say nobody, I'm not kidding you. Yeah,

214
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: like stunningly could not help believe how easy it was

215
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 4: to get in. People didn't buy tickets like like for like,

216
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 4: there were empty seats like you keep, there.

217
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: Were lights on everything.

218
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: They outpriced the average person, like you know, use it

219
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: are corporate event type things.

220
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 4: But even people who have money, I just think like

221
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 4: they said, it's not star studded. They don't, you know,

222
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 4: like the reputation of it is. It's gonna be disappointing.

223
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 4: No one's paying one thousand dollars to sit all the

224
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 4: way at the top. Last year in San Francisco, they

225
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 4: were empty seats. Same thing, too expensive. People are like,

226
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 4: I'm not paying one thousand dollars for a lousy basketball

227
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 4: game or events slam dunk contest where people we don't know,

228
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 4: and then the three point winners a guy who hasn't

229
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 4: played a minute all year, dame dollar, Right, I mean,

230
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 4: come on.

231
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: Not gonna lie. All right, you tell me about your

232
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: experience it. I'm gonna go, Yes, I'm right.

233
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: I was it.

234
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say it was. It was lukewarm at best.

235
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 4: I just I really, And I've been covering to the

236
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 4: NBA since nineteen eighty seven and I've been to a

237
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 4: ton of All Star games, and it used to be

238
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 4: the thing. It was everybody, even if you couldn't get

239
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 4: in the game, you just want to be around at

240
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 4: the parties in the hotels, you know what I mean,

241
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 4: just to be a rouse it.

242
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: I'm going there too, because you just touched on something.

243
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 2: But it's it didn't feel like that, and.

244
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say it's officially dead where you know, a

245
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 4: lot of people are like, oh, what a new format,

246
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 4: they played a little harder. Yeah, empty seats in San

247
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 4: Francisco and now Los Angeles.

248
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: Bad, bad look for the league.

249
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: All Right, this is there's multiple ways to dissect this, right,

250
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: there's just the entertainment value, like did you enjoy it?

251
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: Then there's the what you actually experienced kind of the end,

252
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: the flesh, the monetary, the seeing it, who's in the

253
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: venue part of it. So I'm gonna speak as a

254
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: fan of basketball who was going into as we talked

255
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: about the last few weeks pretty opt pretty pessimistically, just

256
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: like so the bad thing, I'm gonna start with the

257
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: West Coast time and them having to bump everything for

258
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: the what the Winter Olympics.

259
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 4: Well, but that's the NBC's big it's only every two

260
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 4: years winter and the two years of summer, right, but

261
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 4: it's a big.

262
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: It's a big deal that they're not gonna move for

263
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 2: even am. I get that, but that threw me off.

264
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: So for instance, you brought up Saturday, so Saturday to

265
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: get a little alert on my phone that was talking

266
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: about Damian Literary won three point contest when I'm out

267
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: with my daughter and I say, what is this?

268
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 2: A reminder from a few years ago? What is this?

269
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 2: So I had to go back and look at that, like,

270
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: what the heck was that?

271
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: So the only down the big downside for me was

272
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: that was that everything was so delayed or too early

273
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: because of being on the West coast, and then of

274
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: course the Olympics. That was the big downside for me.

275
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: Other than that, I actually think this was as good

276
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: as it can get, all things considered. Michael Jordan, Kobe,

277
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade, Kevin Garnett, all that air, Dane walking through

278
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: this door, the pre cell phone, preoccupied, pre distracted air,

279
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: we can't go back. So this was as good as

280
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: it can get. And specifically a couple of things. One

281
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: the three point contest. Once I reviewed it once, you know,

282
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: I was able to look.

283
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: At it again.

284
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: It was very competitive guys who locked in, and Devin

285
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: Booker had a chance to win it miss some shots.

286
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 2: Was upset that he missed some shots.

287
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: So it was cool to see Damian Liller come off

288
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: the bench, ain't playing all season and win that dunk contest.

289
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: Left some to be desired, but I appreciate the effort

290
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: and the entertainment. My man who won was dancing and

291
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: having a good time. But you're right, we still need

292
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: a name or two in him. If it's four or

293
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: five guys, everybody answering. But he wasn't dunking.

294
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

295
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: He dumped over E forty, which was cool, But we

296
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: still need a star.

297
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: Forty's height or stomach, which was and that's crazy.

298
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: He forty to slim down he is maybe E thirty

299
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: now he maybe not fully E forty. Then I get

300
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: to the game Rob and this was obviously the big

301
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: big thing Sunday. The format you and I have said

302
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: for probably since the duration of me being on the show. Now,

303
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: I wish it was just East verse West. Just hey,

304
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: play hard East versus West, but just.

305
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: Play like that. That's how I wanted to be.

306
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: But until we get to that point, I thought the

307
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: format created some sense of urgency because you know it's

308
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: only for this period. So they went in and they

309
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: play hard, And the best thing happened to me. Protect

310
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: Wimby at all costs. And we've been saying this, and

311
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: I've been loud about this. He cares, He was sick.

312
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: He lost in the Olympics France. They lost, He was sick,

313
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: crying on the court. He plays both ends. They ask him,

314
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: he said, when I'm healthy, I'm the best player in

315
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: the NBA. And he comes out in his All Star game.

316
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: I told you I'm taking it seriously from the jump.

317
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: He was serious and Edwards would end up being the MVP.

318
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: And they asked him, what made you guys PA.

319
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: He was shocked. Yeah, Newark.

320
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: Oh shoot, I'll take it. They asked him. Shoutut to

321
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: Timothy Parker. He actually asked him about it, and he said,

322
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: wimby setting the tone. So the NBA got the best thing.

323
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: You got the young guys who played great. You got

324
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard who never ever ever cares about the spotlight,

325
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: never cares about the moment.

326
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: And that's at home. He was at home.

327
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: He put on a show thirty one of the forty

328
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: eight points eleven for thirteen. You've never seen Kawhi embracing

329
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: it and going through the legs like that and dunking

330
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: on that.

331
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 4: But that made it made total sense being at home,

332
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. The whole setting, like to mention,

333
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 4: took some of that yuh shine. Away from the conversation

334
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 4: of the money. All you talked about was cool. What man,

335
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 4: he's a top three player when he's healthy. That's everybody.

336
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 4: He reminded everyone how good he was. Steve Balmer's bred

337
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 4: and the face going crazy. I think it worked out

338
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 4: best for them. Best case scenario.

339
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: They get onto the next round, the old heads and

340
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: they lose to the young guns. And it was perfect

341
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: because you got n Edwards Cade, you got Wemby, you

342
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: got all these young guys saying we'll carry the league.

343
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: Cooper Flat couldn't even play because he's injured. So I

344
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: think this was the best case for the NBA. It

345
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: wasn't perfect. It wasn't ninety two ninety three year. It

346
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: was the best case where you got the best from

347
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: the older guys. You got the best from the world

348
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: and the young guy said, hey, we'll carry the league

349
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: from here, and I hope it continues. But last point,

350
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: somebody at work and said you watch it. He said, no, man,

351
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: I really didn't have any interest. Man, you know, but

352
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: a fairly it was great and all my friends told

353
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: me I missed it, and he said, with anything, the

354
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: NBA would hope He said, ah, man, I definitely got

355
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: to see it next year. Well, and they got some

356
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: buzz back, and that's the best I can say.

357
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's gonna take a little bit more.

358
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 4: It's just the whole idea because you just talked about

359
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 4: those young guns and people still didn't want to buy

360
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 4: tickets like like that.

361
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: That's the scary point.

362
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: But you needed this week to make people go, Okay,

363
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: I can't miss it next year.

364
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: That's what you mean.

365
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 4: I just wanted to, you know what I mean, like

366
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 4: like like it should just be Wimby and Cade. I

367
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 4: want to see those guys. And it wasn't that you need.

368
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 4: That's he that's how much stinkers on the NBA All

369
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 4: Star Weekend. And I'm gonna tell you, I just was

370
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 4: shocking to be in Los Angeles with so.

371
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: Many empty seats and I'm mad. Let me go.

372
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 4: I know you should sort of say you said the pic.

373
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 4: I was mad about it. The press row that was Saturday.

374
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 4: That was Saturday during the event. That's why I took

375
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 4: it and said, oh.

376
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: There's no room and it was just rolls of it. Yeah, Rose, Yeah,

427
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 4: Thanks for being here on this President's Day Fox Sports Radio.

428
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 9: Hey guys, first time caller, a longtime listen.

429
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 2: Wow, we appreciate you, Johnny.

430
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 9: No, appreciate you, guys. This is what I think. I'm interested,

431
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 9: dangerously optimistic, and I've been talking back and forth with

432
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 9: Katie on his other burner account. I tell you there's

433
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 9: a lot that there is a lot to want because

434
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 9: it was a good start, good start to the movie.

435
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 9: But the end, I mean, I could blame so many

436
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 9: players on this, but it looked like an Instagram workout

437
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 9: by the end of the you know, the championship round.

438
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 9: So I like the format, but you still got to

439
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 9: get the players excited. My recommendation, if you're not in

440
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 9: the top four by the time the Allstair Game or

441
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,239
Speaker 9: the votes come in, you're not an All Star. I mean,

442
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 9: we've got to find a way to incentivize these guys

443
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 9: play hard.

444
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 3: That's my take.

445
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, appreciate that, No doubt they were God

446
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: the old heads were gassed at that point.

00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 10: access to this different maze and like get back in

470
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 10: the day, the All.

471
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 12: Star Game was to get everybody to see it because

472
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 12: I lived in you know, with Seattle.

473
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 10: Or if I lived in Florida or Maine or and

474
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 10: you know it with Novada and I could have seen

475
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 10: Doctor J and all them, but now it just turned

476
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 10: into this type of kind.

477
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 12: Of like you know, a circuits act. But what I

478
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 12: saw there, you know.

479
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 10: And the last time they really played hard was when

480
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 10: Recipees m Kobe passed away. Remember that they put on

481
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 10: the show that Tara and I really liked the way

482
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 10: they played that part. But you know, it really took

483
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 10: Wemby for them to play hard, and people like the youngsters, like.

484
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 12: You know, Kaye.

485
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 10: And and Words and Womby and them don't keep it going.

486
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 10: But it's funny, how you know. One thing I took

487
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 10: away from it was how KD called out Jo.

488
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 11: Kids and Luca and they kind of didn't.

489
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 10: Even respond to that.

490
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 12: It kind of like showed, like, you.

491
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 10: Know, if I was Yo Kids and I had a

492
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 10: chance to put on people Lebron played before Yo Kids,

493
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 10: and he's kind of the the one that started to

494
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 10: look cool versus look fool we're doing all start We

495
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 10: cannot try your hardest. So that kind of showed me

496
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 10: that Yo kids and who could they not really dog?

497
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 10: Because if KD called me out like that, and I just.

498
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: They are who they are, man, I don't know that.

499
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: I get your point.

500
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: I don't fully agree with the They not dogs, they

501
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: just they're not from an era here either.

502
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just different. I think, Thanks Joe, I'll appreciate.

503
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: That, cause people act like, let's be real, Ryan yr Gice,

504
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard for him to play an All

505
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: Star get like the style it was like when Duncan.

506
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: Duncan was trying his best, but certain people aren't All

507
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: Star like the way they play that it takes a

508
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: little bit away from the game.

509
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 4: Let's squeeze another one and we'll go to Chris and

510
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 4: then what you guys, stay on.

00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,160

514
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:47,800

00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,960

Speaker 12: What's up?

517
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: Guys?

518
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 12: You know what's crazy?

519
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 6: Somebody a friend of mine left three All Star tickets

520
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 6: on his dash. He came back, his window was vast and.

521
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: It was off the top stops.

522
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 12: It's crazy.

523
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 6: You could have get the homeless to go into the

524
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 6: into ad to.

525
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 12: Watch this game.

526
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 6: It's incredible how they are killing the brand of NBA,

527
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 6: because honestly, this, this All Star weekend was not that bad,

528
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 6: but the brand is so tarnessed.

529
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 12: That that crowd. We're not spending.

530
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 6: Thousand dollars super Bowl ticket money on a mediocre product

531
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 6: like that's nobody though.

532
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't the overall vibe and Rob you were out

533
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: there a little bit. It was better than you thought.

534
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 2: It was.

535
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: Me and me, I'm saying most the average person kind

536
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: of thought it would be. But we've rightfully so justifiably

537
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: so vashed that it was like you would think it

538
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: was the worst, but this was all right around town.

539
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: It was all right the bull. You can feel abuzz

540
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. All right, hey, eight seven,

Speaker 2: Are you back in? Where are you Jeff in Maine?

580
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 2: You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Jeff? Hey, guys,

581
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 2: how we doing doing great?

582
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 11: I kind of agree a little about that last call.

583
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 11: I'm not going to say people are giving tickets away

584
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 11: and not taking them, but like, I think a big

585
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 11: part of this is the last few years, four or

586
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 11: five years, maybe longer, the NBA has transitioned into such

587
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 11: a way that like the players, with the load management

588
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 11: and the not caring and like you know, they don't

589
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 11: really seem like they try as much or give a

590
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 11: damn until it gets to the playoffs. Then it really

591
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 11: ramps up, like they have to make an in season

592
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 11: tournament to get players excited games that otherwise they wouldn't

593
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 11: care about. Like I think that's rubbing the fans over

594
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 11: time the wrong way, which does suck because there's a

595
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 11: lot of good young talent Cooper Flag right one of

596
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 11: the youths. But I think there's gonna be some time

597
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 11: where they're gonna have to really invest and change that perception,

598
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 11: because perception for a lot of like the older people,

599
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 11: the older crowd is that it is just it's hard

600
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 11: to invest in something as a fan when you feel

601
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 11: like people getting paid millions of dollars, especially in you know,

602
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 11: recent years, tough economic times, don't care.

603
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 2: It's perceptions.

604
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 11: They don't care, and it's not doesn't matter to them,

605
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 11: So why should it matter to us?

606
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: Exactly?

607
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 4: And Jeff, we just had back to Beck, San Francisco

608
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 4: and Los Angeles. Thanks for the call. Those are cities

609
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 4: with money. You're not talking about Des Moines, Iowa. I'm

610
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 4: just saying, you know what I mean where people have

611
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 4: loot in these places and they decided no, I'm gonna

612
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 4: take a hard pass, like they didn't want.

613
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: To be seen.

614
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 4: They didn't want It's President's Day, Barack Obama.

615
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 2: Michelle. They were there, right, yes, we can. They were there.

616
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: He was there having the time of his life. Why

617
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: everything he do so smooth? The ball roll to him,

618
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: here you go, he threw the ball back. I'm like

619
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: everything he do is smooth.

620
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,359

642
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 12: back to col Ryn RP Koe Biance's twenty twenty when

643
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 12: they played hard. They this game looked like a real

644
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 12: regular season. And that's stretched by Kawhi. I knew that

645
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 12: in an All Star Game where he was like, you

646
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 12: can't guard me. I saw when Beyonda go full court

647
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 12: to block a shot. Anthony Edwards saying I love cooking.

648
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,200

651
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 12: Don't let nobody tell you. Oh, they were dogging it

652
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 12: like an Instagram. And no, the tournament format is good

653
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 12: because it's like kick a basketball. You play, you win,

654
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 12: you stay on the court, you lose, you go off

655
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 12: the court. So players were really getting kind of like

656
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 12: they were getting competitive with it, and you can see

657
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 12: the chip on their should.

658
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,720

Speaker 2: One time?

670
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: One time, one time Dwight did it and we were

671
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,239
Speaker 1: nervous because you know, he's all tall, and he ended

672
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: up winning it, what three times or whatever?

673
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 2: Now?

674
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 4: All right, Andre in Massachusetts like that Cooper, Flag, Wimby

675
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 4: and some random person. You're on the odd couple of

676
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Dray, how you doing?

677
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 13: Thanks for taking a call. Listen All Star game. We

678
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 13: saw improvement, marked improvement. Is the game back. Are we

679
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 13: in the awesome eighties with Michael Jordan's flying from the

680
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 13: free throw line? No, we're not there yet, but at

681
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 13: least there was a respect for those athletes that came

682
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 13: before the came before then, particularly the awesome eighties, to

683
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 13: restore this game. And they put forth effort right. One

684
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 13: of the quarters was decided by double digits. I believe

685
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 13: the rest were close. One goes into overtime. The effort,

686
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 13: it is competitive, right, They at least played as hard

687
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 13: as they do at that undisclosed gym in New York City.

688
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 13: You know when they're when they're preparing for the season.

689
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 12: So it was watchable.

690
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 13: It wasn't a layup line that we've seen in years

691
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 13: past with guys looking off into the distance, but like

692
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 13: they don't they don't want.

693
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 12: To be there, So that is positive.

694
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 11: Is it fixed?

695
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 13: No? And again, uh, the Winter Olympics being in effect,

696
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 13: the game's not being in primetime. That didn't help either.

697
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 13: Tuning in at eight o'clock looking for the dunk contest,

698
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 13: What what is going on.

699
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: Yeah that through that through I think a lot of

700
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: great thanks for the call. I think a lot of

701
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: people were throwing I don't know how you pre advertised that,

702
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: but I will admit they they missed the window Olympics.

703
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: So no, I wasn't thinking about it, you know, because

00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 2: How shocked were you would how many empty seats?

783
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 4: Like this is Los Angeles, like you would think it's

784
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 4: a massive city.

785
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 8: Tickets were going for seven hundred dollars for upper day

786
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 8: face value for the dunk contest. That's the reason why

787
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 8: I think you priced yourself out in the city. We

788
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 8: have a lot of other things to do well. I

789
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 8: just think that people it was empty. They had empty

790
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 8: seats in San Francisco last year. These are two big cities.

791
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 8: That's what I think, four of the biggest lie I think.

792
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 4: I think that's scary that surely, if you're the NBA,

793
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 4: you couldn't sell out that event like and I get it,

794
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 4: but people aren't going to put that kind of money

795
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 4: out on especially because of the bad name that the

796
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 4: game had.

797
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 2: That's the thing, and that's what they needed to do.

798
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 4: So so Saturday, what do you think of those events Saturday?

799
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 8: Well, the events himself, they were not as good as

800
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 8: they have been in the last few years. Obviously, the

801
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 8: three point Contest basically it was one guy, Damian Lillard

802
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 8: coming off the bench basically to save the NBA all year.

803
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 8: And then the Dunk Contest, what are we doing? Jackson Hayes,

804
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 8: he didn't even know he practiced at all. And then

805
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 8: I've never heard of some of these guys. I didn't know.

806
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: She was up at men.

807
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: He was playing in Michigan State last year. He you know, We'rebiyas.

808
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: Why am you know Michigan? And I know these people, but.

809
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: Man, I'd rather have Mac mcclunk out there. At least

810
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 2: we know the name.

811
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 8: There was no name recognition with it. That's the problem.

812
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: One thing I think we overhype is the names in

813
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: the dunk contest because we didn't know a lot of

814
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: the people. We did, but there was always one. That's

815
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: if you go back and look at dunk contest, is

816
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: usually only one that you like, no, no, and then

817
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: you get to know them because we all Harold Minor,

818
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: you didn't know Harold Minor until we won.

819
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: A dunk contest.

820
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 4: We do baby Jordan's baby, Yeah, and he averaged like

821
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 4: ten points in his But I'm just saying what I'm.

822
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 2: Saying, there's a lot of people. We got it.

823
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: The problem is there's knowing us. So it would be

824
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: like Jordan's. You didn't know Kenny Skywalker. You know, you

825
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: didn't know spud Web like that too. They want it,

826
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: then they became the issue is you had at least

827
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: Dominique in it against But so we need a Edwards

828
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: at least one. Can we get a Zion, Can we

829
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: get a job? Can we get a Cooper flag? I

830
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: know ve get Zion at this point. He might Zion

831
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: jump like me at this point. So let's go to

832
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:00,959
Speaker 1: the game.

833
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 2: We don't have much time left. So the game game spectacular.

834
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 8: I don't know what you guys were saying before, but

835
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 8: I feel like the format if having them having to

836
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 8: play each quarter, I think that made it bad than

837
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 8: what it used to be in the old days. The

838
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 8: old days, let's be real, they weren't playing for four quarters.

839
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 8: They were goofing around for three quarters and then they

840
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 8: know that perfect balance.

841
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: But it is an exhibition game, so they had a

842
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: big balance in the nineties and mid to loud thousands,

843
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: like it was entertaining a little bit play dunks because

844
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: we you know, you could argue we missed a little

845
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: bit more of that. Yeah, this passed on because everybody

846
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 1: was trying so hard. They used to have the perfect balance,

847
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: give you what.

848
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 4: You want, a little hall, a little hall, and blow trotters,

849
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 4: but then you would ball out and then try to

850
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 4: win the game or whatever.

851
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 8: This was all pure hoops from the beginning to and

852
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 8: I've never seen that in also game before.

853
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 4: It was great, No about never. You might be put

854
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 4: a little extra sauce on that for every from the

855
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 4: beginning to end. Remember y, I'm a dunk in the

856
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 4: dude's face. They used to be going at it and

857
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 4: see I'm Louis Lilu'm and you had spect like magic

858
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 4: going crazy. You had spectacles.

859
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: Remember that one where they were ever sitting in Marlberry

860
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: going back.

861
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 2: And forth closing quarter.

862
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: The reason well this and this is what you get

863
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: when they hear the negative comments and why you need

864
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: a guy man to this to rob a wimby Wemby

865
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: set the tone months ago. When I asked about it, he said,

866
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to take this seriously. And Edwards, you asked

867
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: him about it, he brought it up.

868
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

869
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 8: I talked to Edwards on Saturday. I said like, so,

870
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 8: are you guys gonna try? He was like, nah, it

871
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 8: is what it is at this point. It took one

872
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 8: competitive dude to change that Wimby. Wimby changed his mind

873
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 8: as well. Then yesterday I talked to him and he

874
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 8: was like, well, women's the reason he decided to play hard,

875
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 8: and of course the format too.

876
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he didn't know he's gonna be the m

877
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 2: v P.

878
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: And Edwards, the face of the league keeps falling in

879
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: his last He keeps trying to avoid it, but it

880
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: keeps like.

881
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, is he really the face. He's not

882
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,280
Speaker 2: the face, he's not league, but he.

883
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 4: Had a chance, And I don't know if I don't,

884
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 4: you know, like after that run in the postseason, and

885
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's still there. I don't think

886
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 4: anyone's the face of Lebron and Steph leave. But I'm saying,

887
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 4: like Wemby, Wemby's making a case now, like well that's

888
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 4: what I'm not.

889
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: But just because he's so good and he's so authentically him.

890
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: He has the sound bites, he gets the moments, and

891
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: it keeps me. It's one of those you know, I'm

892
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: just saying it's here, yes in yeah, that was crazy.

893
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 2: Not here. We appreciate what's crazy. Tim.

00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:33,799

895
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,440
