1
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen to the latest edition of

2
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: No Fouls Given, presented by Prize Picks. Of course, I'm

3
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: your co host Big Wise, joined as always by Danny

4
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Green Paul Pierce. We got a super dope show in

5
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: store for you, guys. Let's get right into it. Sga

6
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: Man is going streaking, y'all. He's tied Wilk Chamberlain for

7
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: the second most consecutive games with twenty plus points. He's

8
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: now at ninety two straight games, which is hilariously Wilt

9
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: Chamberlain's second longest twenty point how.

10
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: Many is this Perstone?

11
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: So so he's thirty four games off of the pace.

12
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: He could break the record this season if he continues

13
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: at it.

14
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know what, but what can you.

15
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: Even say, man, about a guy that's just this consistent

16
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: in his output every single game. Every defense knows it's

17
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: on him to get okay, C's offense going yeah.

18
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: And he still delivers every game.

19
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, that's what's most impressive, right, Like the

20
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: scout reporters out they.

21
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: Know what he can do, they know his spots that

22
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: he likes to get through.

23
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: But I think that's also a test of how good.

24
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: His team is like you can't just double him, you

25
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Like they're developing other guys. AJ

26
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: Mitchell come up the bench, scoring even Isaiah Joke, Alex Caruso,

27
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: Lou Dort, they're doing this. J Dubb still not even Yeah,

28
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: he's not even.

29
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: He's not back yet.

30
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: He's not even in his his form. So Chef having

31
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: some games Isaiah Hartenstein, like they got a good group over.

32
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: This allows him to I want to say, just play

33
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: one on one. But he's able to took more io

34
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 2: than your average superstar. You don't see Anthony Edwards be

35
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: able to do that every night, you know what I'm saying. So,

36
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: but it's impressive, bro. So that this is a record

37
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: that's been held for since the sixties. That's that's over

38
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: sixty years.

39
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 4: You just can't stop him. You know, he's starting to

40
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: give me that Jordan presence, Like seriously, yeah, Like I'm

41
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 4: looking like, all right, he's gonna get thirty.

42
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can clock it it.

43
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 4: I know we had cove lebron kd and they will

44
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 4: have big nights, but this dude is consistent thirties, Like.

45
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: Like, come on, man, you don't see that type of

46
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: focus or that type of hunger.

47
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 4: You know, I'm surprised not on this list too, uh

48
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: Cob and Iverson.

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Iver said, I thought for sure.

50
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: Because the way they get to the line, get to

51
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: the line every single game, and they are going to

52
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: get their attempts up.

53
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 4: So then maybe injuries, Yeah, getting injured in the middle

54
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: of the game.

55
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: Yes, And to me, that's the part about Shay is

56
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: his his consistency. He's always available, man, he just plays.

57
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: He's in every single game.

58
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: He's not satisfied, bro, No.

59
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: You would think that they would come into the season

60
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: with a little bit of complacency after you know, winning

61
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: the championship is a huge breakthrough for all these young guys,

62
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: and it seems like they're even more hungry.

63
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they getting greedy. Man.

64
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: Is it considered a point guard or two guard?

65
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: That's that's the debate I was gonna bring up because

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: you know, he had that shooting guard conversation.

67
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: I mean, to me, he's their point guard because nobody

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: else on their team handles the ball as much as him,

69
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: nobody in like sometimes you know, I feel like with

70
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: SHA's penetration, like j Double do some initiation at times,

71
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: but like they don't let Isaiah Joe or Agent Mitchell

72
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: does a lot of his own creation for itself for sure,

73
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: but he's not really you know what I mean, I.

74
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: Feel you, but I feel like last year was more

75
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: point guard. This year he's been playing more off the ball.

76
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: I feel like they're trying to preserve his energy somewhere,

77
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: having Alice Caruso or a J Mitchell or somebody else

78
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: bring the ball up. Now, he does bring the ball

79
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: up sometimes, but he's shown that in the finals against Indiana,

80
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: like how to like he can play off the ball

81
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: some you know, because he needed to because they were

82
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 2: running on flow and fatigue.

83
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 4: If he hold on at the pace, he going that

84
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 4: if they win it again, he gonnamuck up a lot

85
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 4: of all time conversations of course, like whether we rank

86
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 4: him as a point guard or two guard.

87
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 2: That's that's the converce. So again, when we talked about

88
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 2: James Harden and shoot like who else to put James

89
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 2: Harden to the point guard? Conversation like that was somebody

90
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: brought that message and who else would consider him a

91
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: point guard even though he has played point guard.

92
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: I mean, he's not like that.

93
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 1: A couple of years that he played with Chris Paul.

94
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: I guess he played with Ross as well, who was

95
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: obviously the point guard, but for most of his career

96
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: he's been.

97
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: But again, when you retire and retire him as a

98
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 2: point guard or shooting guard.

99
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just so interesting, man, the.

100
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: Way must point really you retire James the point.

101
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 4: I'm putting steph at point.

102
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I go, I go. You should be placed at

103
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: who's guarding you because that's the case you're puting Lebron

104
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: James's point guard too.

105
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think most people would say the other Like

106
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: most people would say, people would say.

107
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: Whoever guard you guarded, who is guarding you? Because even

108
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: though Lebron James is playing point guard, point guards are

109
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: not guarding Lebron Jay. It's the small Even though James

110
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: Harden is playing the point guard, it ain't point guard guard.

111
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 2: It's usually a small forward or a shooting guard that's guarding.

112
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: So that's how I place most guys. It's who is

113
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: guarding you, both on sha but mostly shooting guards point guards.

114
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: He's too, he's a bigger. Yeah, even though Kate is

115
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 2: a bigger point guard, like they have other big wings

116
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: like you probably, but he's still like a true to me,

117
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: more of a point guard than the other guys. I

118
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: feel like he's also creating.

119
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 4: He's a superstar, but like I feel like he should

120
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 4: be a bigger superstar for some reason, I.

121
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: Think the market the market.

122
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 4: I think these.

123
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: Guys Canadian, I don't know.

124
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 3: I don't think it's that.

125
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: I think these guys are just so used to not

126
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: being themselves in public, and I think that affects their

127
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: ability to connect with the wide They're just too corporate,

128
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: Like they get told like, yo, go out, don't make any.

129
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: Waves because of your money. Is it because of the

130
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: social media era?

131
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: I would? I would say so.

132
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: I think guys are just less afraid to be themselves,

133
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: Like you know, like Charles Barkley, for instance, he was

134
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: never the best player in the league, but.

135
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 3: He connected with fans because he would say shit, you know.

136
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: What I mean.

137
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: But when he said it was taken to it like

138
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: because you didn't hear him say it, so like.

139
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 4: Don't you don't have a commercial, Yeah, you don't have.

140
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: As much access to him.

141
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: But he's like his his Nike commercial was I'm not

142
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: a role model, you know what I mean?

143
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 4: Remember that?

144
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: Well, I think these guys the opposite.

145
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think these guys take the opposite track, and

146
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: so they're not connecting with fans like I love Jason Tatum. Okay,

147
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 1: I watched The Top the Top five Starting five on Netflix,

148
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: and what I got from him was he loves his mother,

149
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: he loves his child, he loves to play basketball.

150
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 3: That's not interesting.

151
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: That's not enough for you. No, Like on a personal level,

152
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: you need to find more. I just feel like I

153
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: think he is.

154
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: Just so like he's not gonna give you anything. I

155
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: don't in terms of personality.

156
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: Again, I think it's because in today's world, less is

157
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: more like you're more of a celebrity. Less you show

158
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: Like That's why when people watch Kawia, like, yo, what

159
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: is he gonna say? Oh, it's funny because you don't

160
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: hear him say it that much. Like back then, they

161
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: didn't have as much access to guys. So whenever they

162
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: said something or they did something, oh shit, I just

163
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: saw Michael Jordan do this, or he went over there.

164
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: If Shay's doing tiktoks again, look at him like Jared McCain,

165
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like, I just in a

166
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: different light.

167
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: I think guys like John Morant and Edwards, while they're

168
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: bigger stars in terms of like popularity than Shay is

169
00:07:50,760 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: because personable, Yeah, the people personality and for sure.

170
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 4: He's a bigger superstar to Shay.

171
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: I would, I would he could have been. I don't

172
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: think right now. Maybe maybe right now because he was

173
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: more like.

174
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: And he's never played as good as Shake just Alexander's

175
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 3: playing now, you know what I mean?

176
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 4: The top four players in the league, our top four

177
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 4: are like, bro, these guys like when you look at it,

178
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 4: like a joker wemby Luca. I think.

179
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: I think these guys are not as popular because they

180
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: get told because like you know, a lot of people

181
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: emulate Lebron right and he's like, you know, he's super professional,

182
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: but right, but I'm like, he didn't come in the

183
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: league that way though, Yeah that's not how he was

184
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: his first three seasons.

185
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: Personality, yes he did.

186
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: You know, he was doing the commercials playing different characters

187
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: and you know, like these guys get some of the

188
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: wrong lessons. To me, it's like, yes, we don't want

189
00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: you to get d.

190
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: You wise and domestic violence, like yeah, we.

191
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: Don't want you to do that, but like that doesn't

192
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: mean you got to be a Robot in public, and

193
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: I think that affects.

194
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: Their brand, their personal brand, that's mine.

195
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: I agree. I guess I also say to blame anybody,

196
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 2: but that's their groups like fault for not branding them

197
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 2: that way. Like there's certain guys that could be branded

198
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: that way, like and shows personally they can say s everyone.

199
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: You know, Gilbert was like, oh he paid a million

200
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: dollars throw party. Not say you're gonna do that. I'm saying,

201
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 2: you can put yourself out there, more like we're gonna

202
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: go to look.

203
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 4: At our stars. Was in the movie music videos connected

204
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 4: with the culture, you know what I'm saying.

205
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 3: Carmelo was was wearing stop Snitching t shirt.

206
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: We just connected like Stars is connected with the culture

207
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 4: as much as we did. I don't think, yeah, that's

208
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 4: that's that blew them up.

209
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: I honestly think that's what it is.

210
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: And again you think about somebody like Paul or KG

211
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: who he played.

212
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: The more locked in on the game than actually do

213
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: it like they but.

214
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 3: They were also they just felt like people.

215
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 2: For sure, movies music videos that you actors.

216
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: Like, what's the most interesting thing you've ever heard Jason

217
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: Tatum say? And again he's somebody I admire his game.

218
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: He's like, you can't think of one. He's just he's

219
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: been programmed to be like, nah, we don't do that,

220
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: We show up our job, we go to home.

221
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 4: I just think maybe because this generation is more under

222
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 4: the microscope to.

223
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: I think being on being on the social media and

224
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: being able to see thousands of people just talk ship

225
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: about you.

226
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's alway gonna take an.

227
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 4: Effect everybody to like you. Yeah, that's what it is.

228
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: And anything you do is gonna be taking a negative,

229
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: like they're gonna find something to pick apart and be like, oh,

230
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: why the fuck you doing this? Why even when pods

231
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 2: in the podcast?

232
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 4: Why you don't podcast? Losing it? He had.

233
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: Podcast because he was playing so bad.

234
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 2: Even said the pocket like podcasts don't take a lot

235
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: of time. Do the podcast. In the finals, they was

236
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 2: on his head like he's like, I'm gonna do this

237
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: podcast and they won't like yo. Then they started saying,

238
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: all right, podcasts aren't the reason why you're playing bad,

239
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: but they're not allowed. The fans aren't allowing guys to

240
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 2: do anything other than play basketball, because if you do

241
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: and you don't play well, oh yo, I shouldn't be

242
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: selling ice cream, or you shouldn't be doing clothes. Why

243
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: are you doing fashion?

244
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: And even somebody likes Steph who like definitely always super

245
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: careful with his words, like his game is just way

246
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: more expressive.

247
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: He does put on entertainment. He's gonna give you a

248
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: little you know what I mean, He's gonna give.

249
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 3: An expressive game shape. He's just like, nah, bro, I'm

250
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: getting machine.

251
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 4: I just do this terminator, Yeah, terminator.

252
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: You know.

253
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,479
Speaker 3: And I think that is affecting.

254
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 2: You need more entertainment vibe. I think so, which is

255
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: crazy because again we have kids like sell Like would

256
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: you teach him?

257
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't encourage it, but if they did it on

258
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: their own, I wouldn't be too crazy about one of

259
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: my boys kids is.

260
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 3: He's the kind of guy.

261
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: He's the kind of kid he's like seven, like when

262
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: he scored, like if he trucks somebody in football, Like

263
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna.

264
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: Talk emotionally, he's gonna even emotions. I don't want you

265
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: to be.

266
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: But also the superstars I feel like are superstars now

267
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 4: they live more of a private life, like the superstars

268
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 4: who are marketing. Think about the lebron and and staph

269
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 4: like we knew what type of food they like to eat.

270
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 4: Who was like wifies and kids because they opened up facts.

271
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 4: I feel like this generation, the newer stars are a

272
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 4: little more closed, the.

273
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: More private people.

274
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again I think it has it's it has

275
00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: an effect, like people don't feel connected personally to the

276
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: newer guys.

277
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: I don't disagree. I think there's a way they can

278
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: separate the two. Like if you want to keep your

279
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: family private, but just be you this. Some guys said,

280
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: I didn't know Jimmy had kids. You know what I'm saying, Like,

281
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: like you can keep your family separate from what you

282
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: do off the court and on the Like what I'm saying,

283
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 2: like your your branding, whether it's magazines, fashion, even Kawhi

284
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: he's starting to get into more fashion stuff, Like you

285
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: don't know much about those families want to know that stuff.

286
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: But you can separate if you want to keep your kids.

287
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 4: Nobody at the top. Nobody at the top separates.

288
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,599
Speaker 1: That, Hey, y'all pioneered bringing his kid to the press conference.

289
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, Like, nobody at the top

290
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 4: separates that. They let you know, Yeah I'm married or

291
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 4: I'm dating who the kids? You know? I'm just like y'all. Yeah,

292
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 4: ain't nothing wrong with that. So you know what I'm saying,

293
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 4: human you humanize yourself.

294
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, I want to see I want to see

295
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: Shade gain and White the audience because I just think

296
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: he's a remarkable player and like, aside from the personality

297
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: selling of yourself part, I think he's like a beautiful

298
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: example of everything that's right with the NBA right now. Like, yeah,

299
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: he was like a late lottery pick, you know, just

300
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: came in and just got better every single season, worked

301
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: his ass off, you.

302
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: Know, he does that, He does have the order to

303
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: be that.

304
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: I think he's Yeah, I think he could be a

305
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: compelling person, but he got to.

306
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: Do more to put himself out.

307
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,200

336
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: the Milestone area because Giannis out Dukounmpo became the sixth

337
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: fastest player to reach twenty one thousand career points in

338
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: NBA history.

339
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 3: Achieven the milestone at thirty years old.

340
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: The fastest players before Yanni to reach this milestone just Lebron, James,

341
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: Will Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, just some

342
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: of the greatest offensive forces we've ever seen. In response

343
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: to hearing about the milestone that he cleared, Gianna said, quote,

344
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: I think it's four years away, four or five years away,

345
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: four and a half years away. And I think when

346
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: we are going to be thirty five years old and

347
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: sitting this year, going to have a discussion, I'm in

348
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: the top of the list of all time scoring.

349
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: I mean again, looking at the list, I'm realizing why

350
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: he wasn't one of the fastest. Like he did this

351
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: without a jump shot. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Yeah,

352
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: everybody else paint free throws.

353
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.

354
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: So I don't think this is something he can't sure

355
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: if he stays healthy enough, that's the biggest thing.

356
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: That's the thing I think with Janni's for sure, especially

357
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: with his style of play, is so physical, so like

358
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: he's so.

359
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: Fast, it's it's it's it's taxing physically.

360
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 2: He's definitely gonna be. He's probably leading the league or

361
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: history in dunks, right, He's definitely gonna be. Probably, I

362
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 2: don't see anbody I don't think gonna catch that one.

363
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 3: He's definitely gonna get to thirty thousand for sure.

364
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: And as you can tell from his response, and I

365
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: don't want to make it sound like bad, but like

366
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: Yannis cares about his numbers. He's very Oh yeah, I know,

367
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: so you're very big into the stats he's because it

368
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: feels like for him it's like shows his stature amongst

369
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: his peers, his ability to achieve certain stats.

370
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 4: I think the stats driven error though. Yeah, I truly

371
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 4: believe that.

372
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 2: I'm with you, But I think I don't think he

373
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 2: cares about his stats as much as others do. I

374
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: think he does care. He thinks he does care about winning,

375
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: but I think he just wants to be appreciated for

376
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: what he's what he's doing. Yeah, that's what I'm saying,

377
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 2: is like I'm able to do this. I'm gonna keep going.

378
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: Because you gotta remember to remember that whole discussion was

379
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: having like four or five years ago, Joannis don't got

380
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: a bag. I think that kind of stuff like pissed

381
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: them off, like it's like.

382
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 3: A it's like special bron you know what I'm saying.

383
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure said that the same thing about Jordan.

384
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 3: Never said Jordan.

385
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: In the bag, Nah, I don't know that then in

386
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: the bag. But again he simplified the games where you have.

387
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 4: To do like one to dribble pull ups bro Away

388
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 4: one has been man.

389
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 3: To create space for those shots.

390
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 4: You have to have one or two dribble pull.

391
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 3: Ups go back and just Kyrie doing crazy ship off

392
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 3: the backboard Kyle.

393
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 2: Kyle had a mixed like you can make move one

394
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: on one io.

395
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: Moves like so Jordan had no bag.

396
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 2: I say no bag. I just don't think.

397
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, one to dribble pull up.

398
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: Cop had unbelievableotwork too, like different.

399
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 4: As a bag. First of all, just those to the shot.

400
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 3: I think to me, like what what.

401
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: You have a plethoro of movie.

402
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, the defense does this.

403
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: They don't not not predictable.

404
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 3: Yes, you have multiple counters to the test.

405
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 2: You have counters.

406
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 3: To me, that's a bad I.

407
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: Think they have the capability, but they didn't have to

408
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: counter because Mike was one two dribbles. You know you're

409
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: not stopping, get to a spot and he's jump. Give

410
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 2: your show.

411
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: They say Mike had a limited bag.

412
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 4: Mike can't limited limited that.

413
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 2: I don't agree. I just don't use this bad guys.

414
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 3: Hedn't need to.

415
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 4: He just wanted it was right to the business, Like

416
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.

417
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: Like se got more of a bag though, but like

418
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: usually gets to you know, you can get to a

419
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 2: spot broke, Mike had a back, didn't.

420
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 3: Have to use it so impeccable. I think I think

421
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 3: Mike Kobe had better footwork than Mike.

422
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 2: I think I think.

423
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 4: No, I don't think so, I don't.

424
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: I don't know.

425
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 4: We watched, we watched.

426
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 2: I think it's just like in Evans, like Kobe had

427
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 2: you here to play against better. To you what I'm saying,

428
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: like Mike didn't have to do as much as.

429
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: You're doing living the mic played against I'm saying.

430
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: I'm not saying Kobe is a better player. I'm just

431
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: saying footwork wise, I think Cob had to evolve his

432
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: footwork because he's playing against better I'm not saying Mike

433
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: didn play against some good talent, but things the generational

434
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: things have gotten better, bro over time.

435
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 4: Mike had limited bag?

436
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 3: Did Paul Pierce have a bag?

437
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 4: Because?

438
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: To me, like, what is this game?

439
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: Besides, I think they had the capability like.

440
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 3: So many moves to get by guys.

441
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 2: Mike had a bag, you didn't have to use it.

442
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: Cob had a bag. He used it a little more

443
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: than Mike. I think he was capable of using different moves.

444
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: He didn't have to like jigga guards us bumping, how

445
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: to get to the spots, make a couple of moves,

446
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: keep it simple.

447
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 4: Like Harden got a bag because he's gonna get it.

448
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 4: Why I have a bag?

449
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 2: He's capable, but you don't use it like that.

450
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 4: But I'm saying, yeah, no he got a bag.

451
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 3: To me, what a limited bag is like big man DM.

452
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 4: Got a limited bag somewhat Yeah, UK score thirty with

453
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 4: a limited bag.

454
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: So I'm not one of.

455
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: These people that's like the moves in still crazy, but

456
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: it's not a crazy amount of tools there.

457
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 3: The tools that he has are excellent, you know what

458
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 3: I mean?

459
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so again, but like.

460
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 4: That's no bag that's giving you twenty five today.

461
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: No, I didn't say no bad I limited bag? Then

462
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 3: limited what them so because maybe you could say a

463
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 3: shock or something.

464
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: I mean, got a bag, got a bad But.

465
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: Yo, kids has so many fucking moves, the counters to the.

466
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 2: That's all footwork. Yeah, and I think that's where, like

467
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 2: I said, Mike has a footwork. Cod had the football.

468
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: That's where their bag was was the footwork?

469
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 4: Does polo band Carol got a bag?

470
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: I think he has a bad I think it's a

471
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 2: little it's a little limited. I think it's a little

472
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 2: limit limit.

473
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 3: I think it could be better.

474
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: Okay, got a I think he lost too much on

475
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: his stree, you know what I mean.

476
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 2: But even Franz, I like, I don't see Franz.

477
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 4: Would have like not twenty twenty five.

478
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 2: You know, Franz getting to it. But I follow right now.

479
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 2: They're playing pretty well. But like to say, they're just

480
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 2: like certain guys are just bigger guys' get to my spot.

481
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: I can shoot over you. You're I'm gonna stop on

482
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 2: a dime or change give your shoulder bump. You're not

483
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: you're not recovering. I'm shooting over you.

484
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: To me, I just thought it was unfair to be

485
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: like Joannie when when Hardy was trolling him and all

486
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: of that to be like Yannis, he don't got no

487
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: moves like you got most of down here, he got move.

488
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: This is a little yellottle I'm saying, little stutter step cross.

489
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 4: Most of your bag to me is like you got

490
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 4: about four or five go to move.

491
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 3: Who's who's the baggiest god bag?

492
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 4: I'll tell who the baggie is right now? Is for

493
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 4: sure right now playing joker, Yeah, I'm.

494
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: Gonna put crazy.

495
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 4: I saw that.

496
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 2: P is not revailable now, but jo Jo Ki James, Harden, James,

497
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 2: it is not as what it used to be. He

498
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: don't have to again, he's older. He's getting to a

499
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: spot step back between twenty steps, you know what I'm saying.

500
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 4: Like Austin Reeves got a back, got a bad.

501
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: He's got a back, so.

502
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: Respect he's gonna get to thirty thousand points even with

503
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: a somewhat.

504
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 2: Something something like smaller players have to have more of

505
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: a bag. You have to like I'm thinking of East,

506
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 2: like who.

507
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: Is harder for you when you were a smaller guy?

508
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 2: Damn Thomas, I don't know. Maxie got a little back,

509
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: but he's he's like explosive like speed. Jay Len Bruston

510
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: got the back because he's got step back or getting

511
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 2: too the like you're not gonna but he got a bag.

512
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 2: But jaylen Burnson has got a lot of footwork, pivots, shoulder,

513
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.

514
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, a lot of different ways to get his

515
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: stuff off, and he'll do it to get a variety

516
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: of the defenders. Remember, like big guys used to give him,

517
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: like problems and stuff, you know what I mean, Like the.

518
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: Bigger Wings used to give Rangy.

519
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: Guys used to give him. He figured that out. Yeah,

520
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, sign of a great player.

00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 3: The Clippers who are struggling mightily struggling.

Speaker 2: That's not the word.

565
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: We're gonna get to that.

566
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: The Clippers are at the Miami Heat, who are doing

567
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: the opposite more with less.

568
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 3: Somehow yea, the Heat are.

569
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: Let's get to a couple of picks. Let's see who

570
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: do we want to get first?

571
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 3: Up here? Harden more or less than twenty seven and

572
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 3: a half points?

573
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 4: Ooh at Miami.

574
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go less in Miami. You know why.

575
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 4: Aia coach to you.

576
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 3: A lot of great hookahs spots.

577
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 4: I think I think he's gonna get a lot of assist.

578
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: You're going less, I'm going less.

579
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna follow.

580
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 2: I think they are. They're in a very bad place

581
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 2: right now. And I see him enjoying himself in the

582
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 2: city and then instead of really instead of really focusing

583
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 2: on like you.

584
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: Said it a million times, the Heat are a very

585
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: high paced team, so he will have extra possessions to

586
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: try to get it.

587
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, I could see him not reaching the mouth.

588
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: So Kawhi Leonard, who is still gonna somewhat minutes restriction,

589
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: But excuse me, Kawhi Leonard more or less than twenty

590
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: three and a half points.

591
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 4: I got him getting more because if I got hard

592
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 4: and getting less, I'm gonna have to have him get more.

593
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 2: I'm going to say he's gonna get his buckets. You

594
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying.

595
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 4: He ain't.

596
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go more as well in it and like, yeah,

597
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: you say what you're saying about your teammates, man, you better.

598
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 4: Yourself.

599
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: Norm Powell, who's been ever since he's come back for

600
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: the Heat, he's just been killing it.

601
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 3: Twenty and a half points more or less than.

602
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: Ooh, twenty and a half. He's going more, they've both

603
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: been said. Even with Tyler herroll back, they've been playing well.

604
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go less though Tyler herro back everybody healthy,

605
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 4: he had to carry a lot of them. Yeah, probably

606
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go less.

607
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go less as well.

608
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: And last but not least, Tyer Hero twenty one and

609
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: a half points more.

610
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: Or less than I'm going more. Both of them have

611
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: been playing well together that they've been able to I

612
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 2: feel like Bam is the one that's kind of taking

613
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: a back seat. Got you again. Last game, Norm had

614
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: twenty eight, Tyler had twenty four.

615
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go more for Tyler.

616
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, let's go. Let's go more more than twenty

617
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 3: one and a half. I'm gonna Tyler hero all right, guys.

618
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: The Clippers, so like before the season, like when the

619
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: season got off.

620
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: Was trying to find a word a shaky the artest

621
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: way to say how terrible I was.

622
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: I was wrong about basically Philly. I thought they'd be

623
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: horrible out the game. They've shown that they're not like

624
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: world beaters, but they're.

625
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 3: Like yeah, same with the Bucks.

626
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: I thought they would be pretty bad this year, but

627
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: like once Giannis has been playing, they've been kind of

628
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: a five hundred team, which you know is fine. Where

629
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: I got it the most fed up was the Clippers.

630
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: I just thought they would actually be good this year.

631
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: I thought they'd be a lot not good. But I

632
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: thought they'd be you know what, I'm with you. I

633
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 2: thought they would be pretty good this year. It's an odd.

634
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: Team that I watched take Denver to seven games in

635
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: the first round of the playoffs, like be one of

636
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: the best defensive teams in the NBA. Kawhi Leonards just

637
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: straight up elite wings scoring. Still, I'm like, these guys

638
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: are going to be a good team this year.

639
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: And they added Brook, Lopez.

640
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: Added Lopez added John Collins.

641
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: They got well, I think they got rid of normal

642
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: because they couldn't keep them. They couldn't pay him.

643
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: Brand was doing the ski mask way.

644
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: That's unfortunate.

645
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 2: Hip practice. He's on a very fair deal there too.

646
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: Right now he got bought out, so he's not on

647
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: the same thing was Phoenix his deals On.

648
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 4: Paper, they the most talented team when you looked at

649
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 4: it before the season started.

650
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were not ten years ago.

651
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 4: Would have been great.

652
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 2: Names great ten years ago.

653
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: The years logged and minutes played in the NBA careers

654
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: too old.

655
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 3: They just look old.

656
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 4: That came awful, bro old loser.

657
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 2: Dallas and Memphis teams.

658
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: Can we because we got some great sound coming out

659
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: of just some of the recent struggles can.

660
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 3: We queue up the James Harden who.

661
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 5: You wanted to play through?

662
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 2: Bathrooms challenges?

663
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 6: Trying to integrate those different guys into how you play

664
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 6: offensively right now?

665
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: Challenging in what ways?

666
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: Everywhere?

667
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 2: For you?

668
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 7: I mean, you've been one of the great floor raisers

669
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 7: that this game has ever seen. Is this How is

670
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 7: it more challenging to some of the other situations you've

671
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 7: been in where you've been able to race that floor.

672
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 8: I can't call the last situations or whatever like situation

673
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 8: areas is typicult. You know, we just we're not, you know,

674
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 8: not making sure it's offensively you know, defensive, which just

675
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 8: allow things that the game plan mistakes willow That happened

676
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 8: too many times. So that's it's just one of the

677
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 8: reasons why we lose games.

678
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I kind of feelin I told y'all.

679
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 4: After twenty to twenty five games, you start seeing who

680
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 4: people really are.

681
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is who they are.

682
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 4: Who they are this year.

683
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 3: Because Kawhi had some words as well, and.

684
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: Which is always a big deal, because Kawhi doesn't he

685
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: tries not to give quote.

686
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't give much. I think I think something

687
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: slipped up. I don't think he meant to say, you.

688
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 7: Guys have obviously had some unfortunate circumstances. Like you said,

689
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 7: you missed time. Brad has been out for the year,

690
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 7: but the previous seasons that it hasn't been totally going

691
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 7: for this group to have guys in and out, and

692
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 7: they've still kind of found ways to stay.

693
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 4: Around five hundred above five hundred.

694
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 7: What do you think is the difference with this group

695
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 7: where it's been such a struggle to kind of sustain

696
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 7: some of the blows you guys are taken early.

697
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 5: I just got to get the right lineups on the court.

698
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 5: I guess, you know, get some more talent. Play play

699
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 5: with better talent, see what happens.

700
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 7: You should, like, get more talents that like internally externally.

701
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 5: I'm saying, like playing better. I think we all just

702
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 5: got to play better, make shots a little ball, a

703
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 5: little bit more trust one another, and just get better.

704
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 2: So, yeah, don't I don't think I said the first part.

705
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 2: I don't think he meant to say it that way.

706
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 2: He caught himself and was like, damn, I probably should

707
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 2: have guys.

708
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: Wait, so you mean, yeah, not get better players.

709
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: I mean that's probably how him and James really feel again, bro.

710
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 2: I feel bad for James. James got traded there. He's

711
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 2: he's gonna play with Kawhi and certain company. They had

712
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: a good year last year. And he's never missed the playoffs.

713
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: I don't think he's ever missed the playoff. I could

714
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 2: be mistaken, but I know up until like fifteen years,

715
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: he's always been the playoffs. To be the first year

716
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 2: in seventeen years, I.

717
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: Don't know who the reporter was that framed the question,

718
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: but like he's right about hard and being a floor

719
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: racer traditionally in his career, like straight up just good

720
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: for fifty wins.

721
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 2: Yes that was in Houston prime James. So James is good,

722
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: but he's not. He can't do that.

723
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 3: He's thirty four.

724
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 2: Again, you start realizing, like again we started were retired.

725
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 2: We play, we play now. I could play some after

726
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 2: a time at basketball, but don't put me in a

727
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: situahere I have to carry a team. I couldnot do

728
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: that no more. Like if we're in a good league,

729
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: I better have a good team around me. Not we're losing. Man,

730
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: I'm not bringing it. I'm not blocking shots to play.

731
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 2: I'm a good floor general and shit like that. But

732
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: I can't carry a team no more. He's not to

733
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: blow up the Clippers. That's what about to ask younger, it's.

734
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: The way they put the team together is just they

735
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: realize that mediocrity is kind of the ceiling of the group.

736
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 2: Mediocre, that's what I'm saying.

737
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 3: But like, that's what I think.

738
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: They like the forty six win team this year, and

739
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: instead they're looking on pace to be in the thirties,

740
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,479
Speaker 1: which is just they're very below average and their pick

741
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: is going to Okay, See, they can't even George.

742
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 2: Got They gotta blow everything to try to get something back.

743
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 4: So who do you trade?

744
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: Everybody? Everybody's on the everybody.

745
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 3: Like, what do you give up for kawhal and who?

746
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 3: When he's right, it's still.

747
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 2: A highly why you Why the fuck you can trade anybody?

748
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 4: Listen, you got a new you got a new building.

749
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 2: Especially with the stipulations you have, you got to see.

750
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 4: Some tickets, brou I mean, you ain't just giving them

751
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 4: up for just know anybody.

752
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 2: At this point right now, you're not getting anybody in

753
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 2: the building anyway. Who's on the squad. They are losing

754
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 2: every every game. It looks like I think got they

755
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 2: all have value, But You're not winning with them, so

756
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 2: why not.

757
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 3: Just start over value?

758
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 4: I think his deal is pretty years.

759
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,959
Speaker 2: I gotta trade everybody to get picks, get some picks,

760
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 2: trying to get some picks and young young guys back,

761
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 2: like trade for young guys to places.

762
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: If you can't, Yeah, it's it's difficult because I think again,

763
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: you know the John Collins move to Brad Build move.

764
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 3: These are moves made because you want to be a quality.

765
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: None of them want to be there. None of those

766
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 2: guys want to be there. You think James want to

767
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 2: be there right now?

768
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: It didn't look like.

769
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 2: And the thing about John Collins, Derek Jones Jr. Those

770
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: guys for sure first, Kawhi and James last. But I'm

771
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: if I'm starting over, we don't we We took a

772
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: risk on going old with some good veteran guys that

773
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 2: we had the talent. It ain't working out CP Brook Lopez, Damn.

774
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: I might keep I might keep CP. Just we're gonna

775
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 2: retire here. But bro, what No, we gotta let's start now.

776
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 2: What's the what's the wait for? What are you waiting for?

777
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 2: It till they get older, so they lose more value

778
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 2: because by the end of the season. How much more

779
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 2: value to have.

780
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: And the thing about James too, Like I said, I

781
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: think he's still a valuable player.

782
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 2: I think they're all valuable. I'm not winning in that

783
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 2: such a scenario.

784
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: He doesn't really market himself as this way. But like

785
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: he's one of the hardest working guys.

786
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: For sure.

787
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 3: He puts a lot of work.

788
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 2: I will give that. I'll give him that. Like you know,

789
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 2: people think he just partnered James works Bro.

790
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 3: He puts a lot of.

791
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 2: Until point where he overworks. I'm like, yo, you might

792
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: want to chill. We gotta game tomorrow.

793
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: Ye think he he puts so much into it, so

794
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: obviously he really cares about it.

795
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 2: And he's put up the numbers. He had fifty five,

796
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 2: like that, he had to score fifty five to be

797
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: Charlotte the other night.

798
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 4: Damn, you know, crazy that sounds.

799
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 2: He's thirty seven, thirty eight years seventeen thirty seven years old.

800
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 2: He's got to score fifty because he's coming out most court,

801
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: like most games, first quarter, like seventeen hot for and

802
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 2: you would think getting him to a good start like

803
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 2: some of the team is a help. He can't do

804
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 2: that two halves for a full season at this age. Yeah,

805
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 2: I mean he's not getting much help. Wi is back now.

806
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: But and I was like, you know what, this thing

807
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: is going to correct itself at some point, but I'm starting.

808
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 2: Everybody's thinking that. They're like, oh, I'm starting, the Cliper

809
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: is gonna get better. I'm like, they're not getting any better. Yeah, year,

810
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 2: that's over, bro, it's not getting any better. Some people like, oh,

811
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 2: that's not after that, I said, she said ergy exactly Thanksgiving.

812
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 2: I was like, maybe since thanks they lost too to

813
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 2: some of the worst teams in the league.

814
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 4: They already looked deflated.

815
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, they look defeated. They're defeated. They're done. They're done.

816
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: Bro, So forking the Clippers unfortunately, sorry to the Clipper fandom.

817
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 2: And suspect the host and All Star. And they're going

818
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 2: through all the internal stuff behind the scenes with you

819
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 2: know Kawhi, Uncle Dennis and you know Bamber. Yeah, it's

820
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 2: just not you gotta somehow find a way to get

821
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 2: a clean site, somehow started refreshed.

822
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: Tough, tough year at the end to it, doom moving

823
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: right along, man to a young rookie who's seems to

824
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: be blossoming before our very eyes.

825
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: How bad the Clippers are Flag But yeah, I won't

826
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 2: take anything away from him, but.

827
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, you a rookie dropping thirty five on you.

828
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 2: With no threes. He's just shot making, just at the rim,

829
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 2: mid range.

830
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

831
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 4: That just show But that just showed me that the

832
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 4: Clippers need to get younger, more athletic. You know what

833
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 4: I'm saying, these young athletes A is coming in here to.

834
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 3: Scri destroy you. Yeah.

835
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag passes Lebron to become the youngest player in

836
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,959
Speaker 1: NBA history to score thirty five points in the game

837
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: as he helped Dallas Mavericks rally to a one fourteen

838
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: one ten victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night.

839
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: The eighteen year old went thirteen for twenty two from

840
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: the field in his twentieth career game. He's was the

841
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: top pick in this year's draft, and he also grabbed

842
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: eight boards. The only other eighteen year old to score

843
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: thirty five points in the NBA game is Lebron James,

844
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 1: who did twice his rookie season.

845
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 2: Cooper is a really good player, but he's not having

846
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 2: Lebron James rookie season. No, So for him to give

847
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 2: you thirty five yeah, and not to take anything Cooper flag.

848
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: He's a very good player. Again, I think he's starting.

849
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 2: It's gonna take him some time. He doesn't have a

850
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 2: good group round him either. Dallas ain't good either.

851
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you've been having the season from hell himself.

852
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 2: If you're losing to Dallas, who was firing Nico Harres

853
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 2: like they're firing people who Guy's still nhealthy, Kyrie ain't

854
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 2: back yet, Clays in and out of the lineup, you know.

855
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 2: So they're trying to figure it out too, And you're

856
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 2: the rookie. Gives you thirty five Lebron James night numbers.

857
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 2: That's pretty bad as a for the Clippers.

858
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I think you tip your

859
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: cap to an eighteen years for sure.

860
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 2: Do we like the way he's trending. I think he's

861
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 2: trending in the right direction. He started off a little slow,

862
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 2: but he's starting to, you know, knock down more shots,

863
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 2: get more comfortable or confident again. In the beginning of

864
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 2: the season, I said this was not an experimental year.

865
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 2: Don't need to play that point guard at this point,

866
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 2: playing at the point, playing at every position because his

867
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 2: experimental year and he's he's able to you know, learn

868
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 2: through some of the failures, ups and downs, the bumps

869
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 2: and bruises and having some tough nights. But this is

870
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 2: a great year for him to grow.

871
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he got year locked up pretty much.

872
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 2: I don't know about that one. Who are you saying

873
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 2: making a lot of noise right now?

874
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 3: Is playing his ass off.

875
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 2: You can't forget about the anyway. But he's playing playing

876
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 2: very good basketball. There's a lot of other VJ Edge

877
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 2: comes start off hot. He fears it's a couple of queen.

878
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 2: Queen could make a comeback. It's Jery up in the

879
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: air race. But he's starting to trend to make himself more.

880
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 4: He's starting to separate himself.

881
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 2: He's starting to climb the ladder.

882
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think him and Nipple has definitely been to me.

883
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: Impressive rookies like Cocker play Man, that kid guys, the

884
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: two dookies playing well, but shatsa Cooper flag Man. It's

885
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: cool to see a young guy kind of making his way.

886
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: Speaking of improvement, the Orlando Magic you know now was

887
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: firing people eight games in is in this season, but

888
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: they've turned it around and I think you know the magic.

889
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 3: So just to list off how things have been going.

890
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: The Magic have won ten of their last fourteen games

891
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: after starting one and four.

892
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 3: They've seen the league's biggest jumps in points score pro.

893
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: So their offense is picking up since last season where

894
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: they were just like a bottom ten offense in terms

895
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: of their offensive rating, and there's reason to believe that

896
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: they're going to be a top four team in the East.

897
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 3: They got a point differential of five point three, which

898
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 3: is fifth in the conference.

899
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 2: They're doing this without pollow correct has been out.

900
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Polo has been out, and yeah, they got the

901
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: point differential of a team that is basically like thirteen

902
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: and six. So they've like kind of underachieved for how

903
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 1: well they've played.

904
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 2: Franz so far des been whooping finals with him and

905
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 2: Anthony Black. Yeah, he's been coming off the bench wilding.

906
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's coming out finally showing finally, you know he's

907
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: this year two three.

908
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 3: I know, but like it was looking kind of shaky.

909
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 2: And bro he is the first is killing the.

910
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: Jump shot is falling at like he's even when it's

911
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: not falling, he's taking it.

912
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 3: He's more confident when he's jumping.

913
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, did you get to the Orlando's gonna be

914
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 4: a problem though. Yeahland again, the way they played Boston

915
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 4: and the way he finished the Sea. You gotta understand

916
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 4: last year and France missed half the games, they still

917
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 4: was a.

918
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 2: High.

919
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 4: See you not, I mean when they were in the playoffs. Yeah,

920
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 4: I just figured if they get healthy, they're gonna be

921
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 4: a problem in these They can they can very well

922
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 4: be in the conference finals. I'm telling they got that type.

923
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 2: Of talent for surely open wide open. The East is again.

924
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 2: Cleveland is just not looking. Cleveland has just been disappointing

925
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 2: this year. Yeah, something knixas trending, nixus trending. Yeah, the Knicks,

926
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 2: like Mike Brown and they they figured out a company,

927
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 2: like even with the injuries they're against some road wins,

928
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 2: they got get it together, look like yeah.

929
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Magic again.

930
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: I thought they was somebody that was serious contended for

931
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: the conference finals, if not the NBA Finals, just like

932
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: I just I just didn't think.

933
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 3: That the Cavs.

934
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: M Yeah, I just didn't think the Cats and Knicks

935
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: were heading shoulders above these. I don't think so, you know,

936
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: But it's finally coming together, like the offense again, like

937
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: they've had like basically since the Dwight Howard years they've

938
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: been like a bottom ten defense. Damn there every single

939
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean offense, excuse me, themn there every year. But

940
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: so for not so for them to now don't be

941
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: kind of catching his stride on on offense. And we

942
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: know they got the defensive talent like Paul you watched

943
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: him against Boston last year.

944
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 3: These guys like have great physical you know.

945
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 2: Big Ringac is healthy and playing. You got a bunch

946
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 2: of guys, you know, Wendell Carter like big men at

947
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 2: a mobile.

948
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: They got a defensive you know, mentality, and you know

949
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: that win against the Church that was a huge win.

950
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 3: The choice been the best team in the East.

951
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: By record, and to go out and get that win

952
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: in that NBA Cup group play game super huge. So

953
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: it's nice to see Orlando is is moving in a

954
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: direction that a lot of people thought that they would

955
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: before the season started.

956
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 3: So now let's get into foul or no foul here.

957
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: Gilbert Areenez recently sat down with Al Harrington and he said,

958
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: once a player signs along contract, long a large contract,

959
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: the financial investment makes it nearly impossible for coaches to

960
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: reduce their playing times, even if younger, more productive players

961
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: are available because benching a high paid veteran creates an

962
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: untenable situation. So let's listen to the clip of Gilbert

963
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: talking about the dynamics. When you know a young guys

964
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 1: trying to crack into a rotation.

965
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 9: I got like four hundred thousand, and then they just

966
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 9: paid this through five million dollars and I'm busting his

967
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 9: ass in practice zero minutes.

968
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 3: Bro, I'm getting zero minutes.

969
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:27,280
Speaker 4: None of that means nothing.

970
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 9: I'm gonna I'm not gonna sit five million dollars for

971
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 9: no two four hundred thousand gods. So now you just

972
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 9: sitting there four years, you ain't got a minute, like

973
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 9: just alter league overseas when you killed this whole starter

974
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 9: for full years in practice.

975
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 4: But because they put the money behind them, that's it.

976
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 4: They ain't.

977
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: I've had coaches tell that player that four hundred thousand,

978
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: like be cool, Like.

979
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 3: Enough enough.

980
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 4: Enough. I've seen it with my.

981
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 3: Enough, so I got enough with that full full flat.

982
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: What do you what do you think about the sort

983
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: of politics of the world.

984
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 3: Just yeah, this is the money dynamic in basketball, because.

985
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 2: Like the world is not just basketball anywhere. Man, You

986
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 2: know what politic if somebody's established they're gonna get more

987
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 2: of the opportunity to mess up than you get the

988
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 2: opportunity to succeed. Right, he's making five million dollars, Yeah,

989
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 2: he's gonna be But that four hundred thousand dollar player,

990
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 2: we know he has values. You're not gonna cut. It's

991
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 2: a little bit extreme, not gonna say overseas cut. We're

992
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 2: gonna keep you because you know what you can do.

993
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,479
Speaker 2: But we're not gonna sit this five million dollar player

994
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 2: unless he shows he's really messing up for the job.

995
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 2: Practice is not enough, Like if he's not doing the

996
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 2: game and all right, now, a four hunite thousand dollar

997
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,919
Speaker 2: player will get the opportunity, but he has to screw

998
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 2: up a bunch of times for that to happen. I

999
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 2: guess the only example I can give is play with Pozemski.

1000
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, you know, like, yeah.

1001
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Clay has all the champions equity, he's got,

1002
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: he's got the respect of the guys, and it's like

1003
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: there's a younger player who's basically playing his position next

1004
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: to Steph and yet it was a lot of tension.

1005
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 2: And it was more so sure because he was rightfully

1006
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 2: so deserving. I'm a starter I'm a Hall of Fame player.

1007
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 2: I should be playing. I should be starting. I think

1008
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 2: it was more so for them of trying to get

1009
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 2: him out of his own head and like, let's throw

1010
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 2: a different look from him. See if he come up

1011
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 2: the bench against a different unit where we can feature

1012
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 2: him more than it was more Pozemski. But it looks like, oh,

1013
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 2: this young guy is taking the spot because he's just

1014
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 2: not playing up to his normal He's not playing up

1015
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 2: the parks where we're not winning games. So I mean again,

1016
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: we've seen it time and time again. But that's just

1017
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 2: the normal human. Like, yeah, that's the of the world.

1018
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 4: I gotta I gott to justify as an owner, as

1019
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 4: a general manager, as a coach, paying this dude more

1020
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 4: than him, so he's gonna get the opportunity. I can

1021
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 4: wait on this four hundred thousand to develop. This is

1022
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 4: this ain't burning my pocketbooks. But if this five million

1023
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 4: sitting on the bench just burning my pocketbooks, I need

1024
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 4: this on the dance floor. I need to see what

1025
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 4: you got on with how you're moving there.

1026
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 2: I'm saying you play both at the same time, but

1027
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:08,479
Speaker 2: you can kind of mix in that forour in thousand

1028
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 2: dollars player a little bit and see what he does.

1029
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 2: You're not gonna like zero minutes. And then overseas it's

1030
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 2: a little bit extreme because if you're killing, they're gonna

1031
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 2: find it. We've seen it to you.

1032
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 3: Guys are saying it's not foul.

1033
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: But I think what fans would say is because most

1034
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: people think of sports as a meritocracy, like it's merit based,

1035
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: like the guy who deserves.

1036
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 2: To play wrong. That's all I can say. It's not.

1037
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 2: It's not just like the regular world. There is nepotism,

1038
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 2: there's there's classism, there's all types of it's a system

1039
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 2: in every sport, in every field of professionalism, there is that.

1040
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 2: There's politics. And as much as you think it's the

1041
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 2: best player, no, there's a lot of really great guys

1042
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 2: that didn't make it. Then an opportunity because of they

1043
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 2: either couldn't perform in the bright lights or because it

1044
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 2: was a guy that had the opportunity first made. I

1045
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 2: took advantage of it.

1046
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:01,720
Speaker 4: I think you're.

1047
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:03,760
Speaker 3: Rising.

1048
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: The NBA is very instructive because you are the second

1049
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: round pick.

1050
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 2: It's all timing and I wouldn't say I got.

1051
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 3: Lucky, but I did get lucky.

1052
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying of like when I got

1053
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 2: to San Antonio and Manu being at that because if

1054
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 2: Minu was young, I don't get that opportunity. He's healthy,

1055
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 2: like he started getting hamstring issues. You know, I'm not

1056
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 2: starting over mine. And I know that he's a special player.

1057
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 2: He was an All Star. Yea, he was getting older,

1058
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 2: he started having hamstring issues, they started getting minute restriction.

1059
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 2: We have to bring them with the bench. At some point,

1060
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 2: it's like, who do we start. I got the opportunity

1061
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 2: because I could play defense. But that's how I got

1062
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 2: the opportunity. And the guys in front of me that

1063
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 2: were there at the time weren't elite, were lead defenders.

1064
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 2: Let it be another first round pick or Kawhi was

1065
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:45,240
Speaker 2: there before me. And what I'm saying, I'm not getting

1066
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 2: the opportunity. I'm on the bench the show. What if

1067
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 2: I peaked or I didn't. I had my best years

1068
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 2: there and I go to somewhere else and I'm not

1069
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 2: playing that type of type of basketball like then, I

1070
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 2: never break in the league. Timing is everything, and it

1071
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 2: is you do need a little bit of luck on

1072
00:49:58,360 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 2: your side to break through.

1073
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: Kate Cunningham sat down with Kevin Durant on the boardroom

1074
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: for an interview and the subject of load management came up,

1075
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: and here's what he had to say.

1076
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 6: You just get that pre game, working on the shoot

1077
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 6: around on the game day, or you get working before

1078
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 6: a shooting aroundor after shootinground. Like when you get you

1079
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 6: usually get your individuals. Get individuals. How long is that

1080
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 6: because that's the type of ship I'm thinking about, because

1081
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 6: they because you know, we get loads. You know, they

1082
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 6: put chips on this all the time, so it's like

1083
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 6: they're trying to tailor our workouts. I'm always curious to

1084
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 6: what dudes doing throughout the game and how much load

1085
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 6: they putting on their body.

1086
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 3: I was just told today, I got to shorten.

1087
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 6: That up me too, bro, So man, I was pitched.

1088
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 10: Because it just goes into the fields like yeah, right,

1089
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 10: and so but that doesn't that doesn't align with the

1090
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 10: loads that they want, you know what I'm saying. So

1091
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 10: and I understand that. Sometimes I feel it was like

1092
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 10: I did too much trying to work.

1093
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 6: But I feel I feel as though it's a tough

1094
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 6: one and a lot of people and you know, I'm

1095
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 6: always tapped into how people view our game and they

1096
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 6: view the players, and they tend to look at us

1097
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,839
Speaker 6: as a little softer as other generations. But I'm just like, yo,

1098
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 6: if you would, we're basically in the lab in there.

1099
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 6: Sometimes it's like they can read every little thing that

1100
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 6: we do and tailor everything. You're not playing today or

1101
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 6: put this workout in twenty minutes. But as a player,

1102
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 6: like you really have to find your own rhythm amongst

1103
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 6: all of this stuff, regardless of what they say.

1104
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 10: Sometimes Yeah, you do right to bro. It's all on

1105
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 10: your field at the end of the day.

1106
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you feel like as you a young VET

1107
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 6: and UK you a max player, you feel like you

1108
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 6: can say, all right, nah, this is what I want

1109
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 6: to do. You feel like you got that type of

1110
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 6: voice within the organization again today. Yeah, it's all on field, bro.

1111
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 10: If something don't feel right you know what I'm saying, yeah,

1112
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 10: or if you just want something to be sharper like

1113
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 10: it is what it is.

1114
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: So just to like just to summarize what he said, basically,

1115
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: they have these things your body as you train, and

1116
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: whatever the freaking computer science tells them is the optimal

1117
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, function of the body. They'll be like, oh,

1118
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: you need to do a little bit less or you

1119
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 1: need to do a little bit you can you can

1120
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:07,439
Speaker 1: do a little bit more.

1121
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 3: And that plays a.

1122
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: Big role in how teams are going to players and

1123
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: telling them how to manage their load, their load.

1124
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 2: That was crazy, God, this category they put it in that.

1125
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 11: Way anyway, he is saying, like He'll just it's a

1126
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 11: feel through that you go through your work set on

1127
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 11: how you how much you feel you accomplished, like you

1128
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 11: until you feel like all right, I got enough rhythm

1129
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 11: of this shot, I feel comfortable with all right, I

1130
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 11: got enough work in shooting this floater or this corner.

1131
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 2: Three. I don't like how sometimes this is by feel

1132
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 2: and sometimes some guys need to be saying from themselves.

1133
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 2: But I go back to Paul had a great point,

1134
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 2: man like you can't run a marathon without practicing format,

1135
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 2: so you need more practice. But I'm going back to

1136
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:14,399
Speaker 2: they need to space out the games, like teams having

1137
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 2: seventeen games and twenty nine nights, and I don't know

1138
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 2: if it was different back in the day, add a

1139
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 2: couple of weeks to the sea, Like I know they

1140
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,760
Speaker 2: don't want to compete with football. We're doing it anyway.

1141
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 2: Football is now doing Christmas games well, do we start

1142
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 2: doing Thanksgiving games like you're gonna compete with them anyway.

1143
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 2: Add an extra week in the beginning season, extra week

1144
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 2: the end of the season. You can space games out,

1145
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 2: and then you also have more time to actually practice.

1146
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 2: Now guys could actually do their workouts and you won't say, oh,

1147
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 2: you need to lighten it up some because we have

1148
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 2: a game tomorrow, they have a day off in between.

1149
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 2: You have some more time in between. If you add

1150
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 2: just more time, and I think it'll change at some point.

1151
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, some guys need to be saving themselves. But

1152
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 2: some guys, again, they gotta do with what they feel

1153
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 2: is right, you know, for them.

1154
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 4: For me, I'm not I work my whole life to

1155
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 4: get here, right, and I worked how I worked. You

1156
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 4: can't tell me how to work to get better, you

1157
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. Like I'm not listening to no

1158
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 4: computer geek with a buttoning me up on a vest

1159
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 4: telling me that I need to stop doing what I'm

1160
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 4: doing to get better, Like that's an excuse to me,

1161
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 4: Like we've been it's been eighty two games for fifty

1162
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 4: years now, Like you just not in optimal shape then,

1163
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 4: like come on, that's why you probably getting hurt, Like,

1164
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 4: come on, they don't even practice no more, So how

1165
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 4: you gonna tell me, like not to get some extra

1166
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 4: shots or lift some extra weights or ride the bike

1167
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 4: like I'm conditioning my body for this long run. Like

1168
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,959
Speaker 4: if I'm constantly like, nah, I played thirty five minutes,

1169
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 4: I don't need to do nothing tomorrow. Then my body

1170
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 4: gets tight and and then I don't do nothing for

1171
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 4: two or three days, and that's where injuries come in.

1172
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 4: I feel like, yeah, like, don't tell me how to

1173
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 4: work like I got here, Like you over there, you're

1174
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 4: telling me that you with all them wires on that computer,

1175
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 4: been in the gym my whole life. I know mentally

1176
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 4: and physically what I need to do to be ready.

1177
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 4: Every player in the league should know that for sure.

1178
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 4: I don't need nobody to tell me. Now, you're doing

1179
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 4: too much, you know what I'm saying, Like, when you're

1180
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 4: at the highest level, you got there because of the

1181
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 4: work that you put in and the discipline, and it hurts.

1182
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 4: The body hurts sometime, but that's what got you there.

1183
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 4: You know, that's what you condition to do. So I

1184
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 4: really don't like that somebody not today, get out of here, man,

1185
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 4: I'm about to go get my shots to work on

1186
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 4: this right now.

1187
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 2: Again, I think it's a domino effect man, because there's

1188
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 2: less spaces, less time to actually practice. So but I

1189
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 2: will give a test that there is When I was

1190
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 2: in Santonio, they do see where you're at and like, yeah,

1191
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 2: you keep going this right, you got the injury is

1192
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 2: going to happen. And I'm not sure if it's that

1193
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 2: year or not, but like it's happened, Like they can

1194
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 2: predict when like a hamstring or something might might come.

1195
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 4: Then they ain't measuring heart and balls for sure. That's

1196
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 4: something unmeasured for sure.

1197
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 2: But again I was I was still keep going. I

1198
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 2: was still keep playing, like I'm gonna play whatever if

1199
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 2: the guy's injured. I' gonna play if you don't have

1200
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:19,240
Speaker 2: to play me thirty five minutes.

1201
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:19,439
Speaker 4: Cool.

1202
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 2: I was young enough. I was in my twenties.

1203
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 4: I'm not right.

1204
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 2: So you you condition your body to do that, you

1205
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:26,800
Speaker 2: should be able to sustain it. That's I feel like

1206
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 2: the body and the mind is a powerful thing. Like

1207
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 2: if you condition your mind and your body to do that,

1208
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:32,240
Speaker 2: you should be fine.

1209
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: My thing with all of it is like with all

1210
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 1: of this ship that they're doing with monitoring people's heart

1211
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: rate and the muscle twitch and all of that, it.

1212
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 3: Doesn't seem to be working, like getting.

1213
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 2: Injured exactly what we doing?

1214
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 4: What are we doing?

1215
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 2: Agree? But only you don't know the success rate is

1216
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 2: also only people behind because you don't know who.

1217
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 3: You can't say who they saved from injury.

1218
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't know who was Like to be lucky,

1219
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 2: that's it for sure, Like to be lucky.

1220
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 4: These are the greatest athletes in the world get injured.

1221
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 1: Like, I understand, it's a nice instinct to be, like, yo,

1222
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: we want to keep our guys' bodies fresh.

1223
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 3: You know, Like I understand, Like it's I understand that.

1224
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: But like at a certain point, man hoop has got

1225
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: a hoop thinking about this.

1226
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 4: What are the injuries?

1227
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 2: Mostly strains, tendons, had like.

1228
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: A lot of calves, a lot of hamstrings, mostly springs,

1229
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: mostly thumbs, fingers just located.

1230
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you can't control that.

1231
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, those I get. But the other ones, the

1232
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 2: strains and the I think eight achilles last year, yeah

1233
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 2: they have and this year has been calf strings, hamstring,

1234
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 2: and I don't know what other but mostly strains I've

1235
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 2: seen like hamstring and calf like Wenby's calf, Aaron Gordon

1236
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 2: hamstring and Edwards was hamstring like Oganoba. I think it's hamstring.

1237
00:57:54,680 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 2: So those are like more so minimum minutes managing. Yeah,

1238
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 2: well again, if you practice, like like you said, if

1239
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 2: you're practicing for the marathon, you're able to get that in,

1240
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 2: then your body's more conditioned to sustain that. Because they

1241
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 2: don't have they have seventeen games and twenty nine nights.

1242
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 2: You don't have time to practice and you're flying half

1243
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 2: the time. All you do is walk throughs in lunch

1244
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 2: room what I'm saying in food rooms?

1245
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 4: So why are more players getting hurt? If we got

1246
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 4: all this, I don't know why all the stars the

1247
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 4: other day we looked at like ten stars out like

1248
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 4: if we got all of this, why are.

1249
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 2: They That was a dude broke it down. It's a

1250
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 2: combination of all of waving back to.

1251
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 4: Like a are they just doing this to create more jobs?

1252
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 3: That's trying to jobs for dorks basketball. I could believe

1253
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 3: that for sure.

1254
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: It's definitely a jobs program for NBA's and stuff like that.

1255
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 3: I just I don't know.

1256
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: I like, I've like when they first started doing this,

1257
00:58:58,080 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, of course, if the teams want to

1258
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 1: keep the player Soalthias.

1259
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 2: And the like.

1260
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 1: I've kind of changed my mind about it, man, But yeah,

1261
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 1: I do think that is an underrated part of it.

1262
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 3: Like the amount of games these dudes playing.

1263
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 2: AU the AU and they talk about the pace, They

1264
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 2: talk about the pace and changes that AU like they

1265
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 2: come into young age to now how many games? Back then,

1266
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 2: we played a lot of games too, Like bro, we

1267
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 2: played like three or four games. Now they limit kids

1268
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 2: now they have like in tournaments. Remember like Bob Gibbons

1269
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 2: and all the ship Uh, Like we played like three

1270
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 2: games a day.

1271
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 3: Now doing that all year round though we.

1272
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,479
Speaker 2: Played a lot. Man, I remember playing a lot pretty

1273
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 2: much all year around.

1274
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 4: My airplayed the same. We didn't play a we played

1275
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 4: at the park ten games a day. Or it's harder fouls,

1276
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 4: it's the different.

1277
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah again, man, uh, I understand why the league wants

1278
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: to monitor this stuff.

1279
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 3: It just seems like a whole lot of ship that

1280
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 3: now it's not it's not working.

1281
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 2: To find a new solution, a different solution.

1282
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: So let's close the show out with some NBA Cup predictions.

1283
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: We've got we're out of the group phase. We're now

1293
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 2: what I was asking some raptors. Yeah, no, Raptors play

1294
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 2: the Hornets. Okay, you know today Sunday, So your next

1295
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:54,440

01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1297
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 2: Who else would? Who else on there?

1298
01:00:59,040 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 3: The Heat versus the Man?

1299
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah they didn't play Okay, all right, Yeah, I

1300
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 2: just don't see. I don't see the next beat them

1301
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 2: twice back to back. So I'm gonna go Toronto for

1302
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 2: that one.

1303
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 3: Wow, Toronto took an advance to the semi finals.

1304
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 2: Huh, I see Toronto going. I feel like they could

1305
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 2: be a team that I'm saying get a little mid

1306
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 2: season cultural win.

1307
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, definitely what I'm saying.

1308
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 2: I feel like that's the teams that kind of could

1309
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 2: win these and I like the.

1310
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 1: Young guys like really really wanting to get the paper

1311
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: wanting to get their fifteenth guy off the bench.

1312
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, extra million and change.

1313
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take the heat coming out of the east.

1314
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: You like the heat to just come out, just period.

1315
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: Beat the Magic, beat the winner of the next Raptors.

1316
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 4: They're getting healthy right now.

1317
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 2: I think they'll beat I think they'll beat Magic, but

1318
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 2: I think they end up losing to Toronto.

1319
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 3: The opposite. I think the Magic is just it's trending

1320
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 3: in such a right direction.

1321
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 1: This gives them a goal and to focus them. I

1322
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: like the Magic to beat the Heat, the Knicks, to

1323
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: beat the Raptors, and then the Magic to beat.

1324
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 3: The Knicks again to go to the Cup finals.

1325
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: Out West, we have the fourth seeded Suns versus the

1326
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: Thunder and the third seeded Spurs versus the Lakers, and

1327
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 1: Luka Doncis currently has the best odds to win the

1328
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 1: NBA Cup MVP.

1329
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 3: So what do you think about Suns Thunder.

1330
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 2: Thunder? But I just don't think Thunder cared to win

1331
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 2: the Cup?

1332
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 3: Got you?

1333
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 2: Will they rest, guys, one of these games got you

1334
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 2: and just say hey, f it, we don't care to

1335
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 2: be in Vegas during this time and actually get the

1336
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 2: extra extra days off maybe, and then I have to

1337
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 2: play extra games because some of those games on I

1338
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 2: guess the Cup final don't count towards the season. Got you,

1339
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 2: but I'll go Thunder. And then second, I'm gonna go Lakers.

1340
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 2: Spurs no Wemby right.

1341
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 3: Probably not. This game will be December tenth, and they said.

1342
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: They was like usually with the with those strains, they

1343
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 1: like to give it like three four weeks.

1344
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 2: At the two weeks to read to reevaluate value. Probably

1345
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 2: in another week. So I don't think is gonna play.

1346
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go, like I'm actually covering this game, so

1347
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Lakers. I'll be a Spectrum Sports net

1348
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 2: covering this game.

1349
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we're gonna go. Okay, see Lakers with the Okay,

1350
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 4: see Thunder making the statement gonna blow out win versus

1351
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 4: the Legers to the finals Cup again.

1352
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 2: I think he think Okay, he's gonna rest guys one

1353
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 2: of those games they going.

1354
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 4: They playing for history.

1355
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 3: I think Okay is gonna beat up on the Suns.

1356
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 4: I think that I'm gonna beat up on everybody.

1357
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think they should beat the Lakers in

1358
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 1: the semi finals match will be back in Vegas.

1359

Speaker 2: I got Lakers over Okay see in the semi final.

1360

1361
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:50,800
