Speaker 1: Olipop was the first, not Oscar Mile Bacon. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Oh Joe, We're gonna get right
Speaker 1: into it. Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown the first Celtic
Speaker 1: duo to each record at least thirty five and five
Speaker 1: in an NBA Finals game. Thirty points, five rebounds, five assists.
Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown's had a fake. If I'm not mistaken, he
Speaker 1: had thirty points. He had like eight and eight if
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. Jason Tatum finally broke out of his
Speaker 1: shooting slump. He got it going in the first half.
Speaker 1: Jayalen Brown got it going in the second half. They
Speaker 1: tag team the Dallas Mavericks and put them on to
Speaker 1: bring o Show. Down three to oh, no team has
Speaker 1: ever come back from a three deficit. Only one team
Speaker 1: has ever come back in the NBA Finals from a
Speaker 1: three to one deficit, and that's the Cleveland Cavaliers led
Speaker 1: by Lebron James along with Kyrie Irvin so down three oh.
Speaker 1: No team has ever come back in an NBA playoff game.
Speaker 1: Down oh yeah, I think so oneas one half Kyrie
Speaker 1: Irvin Tonight, we needed Kyrie to get going OHO, and
Speaker 1: he got it going. Thirty five points, three rebounds, two assists,
Speaker 1: four to six. He gave it everything. Luca ends up
Speaker 1: filing out. I think he had twenty seven points. They
Speaker 1: just didn't get enough support from their supporting cast, and
Speaker 1: that was the difference in the ball game, because Jason
Speaker 1: Tatum and Jaylen Brown got going. Derek White here some
Speaker 1: timely shots. Holiday is holiday. But give the Celtics credit.
Speaker 1: MAM's get out to an early start, down by half.
Speaker 1: The Celtics down by as many as twelve. They don't
Speaker 1: pay it. Did a great job, Joe, Missoula had them calm,
Speaker 1: they fight, They were all the way back, making a
Speaker 1: one point ball game in the half, and then kind
Speaker 1: of seize control thirty five to nineteen, if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: outscore the MAVs in the third quarter. MAVs make a
Speaker 1: valiant effort to try to get back into the ball game,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't nearly enough, O Joe. Now they're faced
Speaker 1: elimination on Friday night. They've got to win or they're
Speaker 1: going home. You watch this game, on Joe, what did
Speaker 1: you see from the Celtics that really impressed you?
Speaker 2: Besides the win? Obviously winning is impressive, but you.
Speaker 4: Know what the Celtics did, what they did best, and
Speaker 4: it made me question we always talk about the pundits,
Speaker 4: the analysts, they talk about the best players on the Celtics,
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum, and what Jackson Tatum needs to do as
Speaker 4: far as winning MVP is concerned, and all the things
Speaker 4: and putting the team on your back and all the
Speaker 4: pressure that is on Jason Tatum. When I come to
Speaker 4: ask myself a certain question after some of the other series,
Speaker 4: including this series, maybe outside of this game tonight and
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum actually the best player on the Celtics team
Speaker 4: for that matter, is if Jason Tatum. Where Jason Tating
Speaker 4: the right person to be asking some of the things
Speaker 4: that they're asking of him to do, being that it
Speaker 4: seemed like it should be being asked of from somebody
Speaker 4: else with the last name Brown. If I don't, I
Speaker 4: don't know if my eyes are fooling me, or maybe
Speaker 4: I haven't been watching a game of basketball or the
Speaker 4: Boston Celtics long enough to where I might be wrong.
Speaker 4: But Jaylen Brown is the real deal, man, Jylen Brown
Speaker 4: is the real deal based on what I've seen so far.
Speaker 4: So I always, for one, for some reason, I always
Speaker 4: see Jaylen Brown cooking. But then from the from the
Speaker 4: media pundits, I'm always hearing Jason Tatum's name, so something
Speaker 4: the math ain't math, and to me that is not
Speaker 4: making any sense to me. The one doing the work
Speaker 4: on the court, the dirty work, the hard work, and
Speaker 4: scoring the points and showing up in every game no
Speaker 4: matter what the press situation may be, is Brother Brown.
Speaker 4: And then Jason Tatum at times, you know as night's off,
Speaker 4: he has a night on. Tonight he had a night on.
Speaker 5: So it was.
Speaker 4: Confused to me the fact they didn't have prisoners tonight
Speaker 4: and they still they still, I'm not.
Speaker 5: Gonna say, dominated the game.
Speaker 4: You know, at the half they're on, they're only up
Speaker 4: by three, but they still won the game.
Speaker 5: Like you on, this is a game that you you
Speaker 5: had to have. You had to have.
Speaker 4: You can't file out by no means, by by no means, Luke,
Speaker 4: you cannot file out in that situation.
Speaker 5: You just can't.
Speaker 2: No, you can't take a chance of that situation.
Speaker 1: You got five files out on the risk. The risk
Speaker 1: reward isn't great enough because you're gonna pick up six
Speaker 1: as opposed that if they call it.
Speaker 2: But nah, it's just not good enough. Oh tu.
Speaker 1: I think the thing that happened is like Jason Tatum
Speaker 1: was supposed to have next and he still might. He's
Speaker 1: the guy that was mentored by Kobe. He was the
Speaker 1: guy that was supposed to be the face you have.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, let me ask you to even
Speaker 1: though you even though you're you're late to the party,
Speaker 1: is somewhat Have you ever sard Jaylen Brown be potential
Speaker 1: to face of the NBA?
Speaker 4: No, No, As matter of fact, you heard me regurgitated, right,
Speaker 4: because I'm saying what I've heard other people say.
Speaker 2: So, I'm thinking he's the next one up.
Speaker 4: And I got people making fun of me on Twitter
Speaker 4: to about you could tell you you had no watch
Speaker 4: no damn basketball.
Speaker 5: He's about Jayden Brown?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 5: I mean?
Speaker 4: God, Jason Tatum in the face of the earth? Huh,
Speaker 4: what are you talking about? Well, I'm just saying what
Speaker 4: everyone else was saying, and I'm thinking it's going to
Speaker 4: show up. When I watched the game and I'm like, well,
Speaker 4: wait a minute, are they sure? Jason Tatum? And if
Speaker 4: you just think them in Jalen Brown. But he's the
Speaker 4: one playing with that mama mentality. He's the one showing
Speaker 4: up hitting clutch shots in every game. He doesn't disappear.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think the thing is that JT. You know,
Speaker 1: he was mentored by Kobe, He trained with Kobe, and
Speaker 1: so he was supposed to adopt that mentality. He was
Speaker 1: the better player early, he was the first team All
Speaker 1: being NBA selection for the last three years, he was
Speaker 1: the guy that went to the All Star Game, and
Speaker 1: so he was supposed to have that played. Plus, he's
Speaker 1: playing in a story franchise. He's the best player on
Speaker 1: that franchise, and yeah, he still gets some double But
Speaker 1: right now, I've said this before and people are like, Oh,
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're talking about. Jason Tatum, excuse me.
Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown has been their best player in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: We can debate whether or not who's the best player.
Speaker 1: You can debate that till the cows come home. Some
Speaker 1: people will say JB. Some people will say JT. Some
Speaker 1: people will say j T because he still get the
Speaker 1: constant double team. Everybody's setting their defense to stop him,
Speaker 1: and so JB's getting a lot of one on one
Speaker 1: and he's going against their second best player.
Speaker 2: Whoever that defensive playerm is.
Speaker 1: All I know is this in the playoffs, Jaylen Brown
Speaker 1: has been the best Celtic. He has he's taken on
Speaker 1: the assignment. He's taking Luca. They put Jason Tatum on
Speaker 1: Daniel Gaffer, so it's a combination, and they got a
Speaker 1: lot of guys that can throw at him. They got
Speaker 1: Derek White, who's an all the defensive selection. They got Holiday,
Speaker 1: we know what he is. On the defensive end. You
Speaker 1: got a big Jaylen Brown that's six foot seven that
Speaker 1: can throw at him. So they could throw three different
Speaker 1: bodies at him. None of those guys are Jason Tatum.
Speaker 1: And when Jason Tatum was on him, we saw early
Speaker 1: in the game he blew right by him. Luca blew
Speaker 1: right by JT. And so this is not a question
Speaker 1: to night whether we can debate this at a later
Speaker 1: day time. I used to say the same thing that
Speaker 1: you said, O Joe, but I can't say it with
Speaker 1: any degree of certainty that Jason Tatum is the better
Speaker 1: player than Jaylen Brown. I can't say that with any
Speaker 1: degree of the certainty. Once upon a time I could.
Speaker 1: But if you look at Jason JB and the work
Speaker 1: that he's put in in the offseason as far as
Speaker 1: shooting the basketball and starts, he always had great athleticism.
Speaker 1: But if you watch the way he shoots the ball.
Speaker 1: You watch the way he handles the ball a little better. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he gets a look killless sometime and his handle gets
Speaker 1: away from his body. But he worked extensively on being
Speaker 1: able to handle the ball better, and you saw late
Speaker 1: in the ball game he hit.
Speaker 2: Big shot after big shot after big shot.
Speaker 1: So for me, I can't say with any gree of
Speaker 1: certainty that Jason Tatum is the best Celtics because Jaylen
Speaker 1: Brown had something to say about it. He was named
Speaker 1: Larry Bird. When they win this series, he's gonna be
Speaker 1: the Finals MVP.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh, and how fitty it would it be? The Bill
Speaker 1: the Bill Russell Award, Mister Russell, Well, the MVP Finals
Speaker 1: MVP is named after him, and so he had he
Speaker 1: will have two awards named after two Celtics Great Eastern
Speaker 1: Conference m v P, Larr Bird Award, the Finals MVP,
Speaker 1: the Bill Russell Award. But he would have been sensational
Speaker 1: in these playoffs. We know what he did in that
Speaker 1: last series. He was the Bill the Bird, Lard Bird
Speaker 1: Award winner, hit the big shot and the sports overtime.
Speaker 2: And he's been outstanding.
Speaker 1: He's been honked, hounding Luca Luca's getting his points, but
Speaker 1: he's not doing it in the most efficient manner, so
Speaker 1: give him credit. But the Celtics have the MAVs on
Speaker 1: the brink of eliminade, up three to oh one game
Speaker 1: Friday night. It could be a clean sweep and the
Speaker 1: Boston would take the league over the Lakers, eighteen titles
Speaker 1: to seventeen.
Speaker 4: That's crazy, man, that's crazy when I think about it,
Speaker 4: and you know, it's my fault. It's my fault, you know,
Speaker 4: you know, take pick it with my heart, you know,
Speaker 4: picking with my heart understanding, you know, with my love
Speaker 4: for Kyrie Irving and his skill setting, what he's done
Speaker 4: for the game and the excitement that he brings, you know,
Speaker 4: as a as a player. And I picked the masks,
Speaker 4: you know, I said the Maths and seven, And I
Speaker 4: said the Maths and seven with confidence, you know, with
Speaker 4: my chest very high, you know.
Speaker 5: Knowing they don't even know the goddamn game of basketball
Speaker 5: like that.
Speaker 4: And here I go, I don't put my foot all
Speaker 4: in them out, you know, and the heel to hold
Speaker 4: the whole foot and the big toe, you know.
Speaker 5: But it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 4: I got people on Twitter, you know, talking about Oh,
Speaker 4: I'm the reason the goddamn Maths losing him down three.
Speaker 5: Oh No, I'm not. No, I'm not.
Speaker 4: If you watch it, if you watch the goddamn goddamn games,
Speaker 4: you know why they down three. Oin ain't got nothing
Speaker 4: to do with me picking them to win in seven.
Speaker 4: But that's that's neither here nor there. At least listen,
Speaker 4: at least the math put up a fight tonight. They
Speaker 4: look better. They look better. Kyrie was goddamn aggressive coming
Speaker 4: out coming out the gate. Goddamn Luke was aggressive coming
Speaker 4: out the gate, and I think that was due to
Speaker 4: not having to deal with the length and the height
Speaker 4: of Borzingis down low in the block or in the post,
Speaker 4: not having to deal with that.
Speaker 5: So you know what I'm gona do tonight, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: go be aggressive because I can.
Speaker 4: But again, Jaylen Brown, Derek White, at times, they made
Speaker 4: every shot difficult.
Speaker 2: Nothing was easy, nothing was easy. You know, they were
Speaker 2: looking for something.
Speaker 1: They got nothing from Kleeber, They got nothing from Tim
Speaker 1: Hardaway Junior.
Speaker 2: He was all five from the floor or three from
Speaker 2: the three.
Speaker 4: Yeah, zero, No, that's not fair. How much you going
Speaker 4: how much Tim Hartibay Jr. He Played twenty seven minutes, right,
Speaker 4: how many minutes? Okay, okay, okay, I'm bad. He played
Speaker 4: nineteen minutes?
Speaker 5: How many times?
Speaker 4: How many games has he played? And not this series?
Speaker 4: Just in the playoffs in general?
Speaker 1: He played a lot more against okay, okay than he
Speaker 1: did any other scene.
Speaker 5: How long ago was that? That was?
Speaker 2: That was? That was? That was what?
Speaker 1: UHCD rock and round second round?
Speaker 4: So you ain't even getting no burn all this time,
Speaker 4: And all of a sudden, we need a little bit
Speaker 4: more offense. We want you to do something that you
Speaker 4: haven't done in a very long time, something that we
Speaker 4: basically you know what you not on the biscuits. We
Speaker 4: feel you can't really help contribute in a certain area.
Speaker 4: So you're gonna ride the bench. Oh now, all of
Speaker 4: a sudden, now you want to count on me. Now
Speaker 4: you want to come to me because you need a
Speaker 4: little officer, a little officer spurt.
Speaker 2: That's the that's the job, ever role player, that's his job.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the guy like the wide receiver
Speaker 1: that don't come in and start and he plays the slot.
Speaker 2: What you expect him of it.
Speaker 5: You're expected to make that catch on third down.
Speaker 4: You expected to make me but then again, wich about
Speaker 4: a finals, a finals. Those adjustments need to be made
Speaker 4: way ahead of time, understanding we're not gonna win this
Speaker 4: io game. We're not gonna win the Io game. We
Speaker 4: need all motherfucking hands on deck. Oh shit, I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: my bad, I'm sorry. We need all we need all
Speaker 4: hands on deck. I need all scores. Tim Hardaway at
Speaker 4: some point, if I'm not mistaken, I'm sure he can
Speaker 4: give you fifteen seventeen at some point.
Speaker 2: Well, that's kind of what they was kind of that's
Speaker 2: why they inserted him. But he did.
Speaker 4: He had a couple of great doing it, doing it,
Speaker 4: doing it in the back end. When when when, I mean,
Speaker 4: you're already drowning. I'm already underwater, but now you're throwing me.
Speaker 4: Now you're throwing me a life wrap. But what I'm
Speaker 4: under the water.
Speaker 1: That's your job. That's the job of a role player.
Speaker 1: It's not easy because they're asking you to do something
Speaker 1: when you like you not in the rhythm. But that's
Speaker 1: why you go in and you get those shots up,
Speaker 1: shoot around, you get there early, you stay late, you
Speaker 1: come out because you never know when your number is
Speaker 1: gonna call. Malcolm Butler, he didn't know his number was
Speaker 1: gonna get called. But what in the super Bowl?
Speaker 4: He read he read, he read that bait, he read
Speaker 4: a he banjo that he banjoke.
Speaker 5: Wait, no, they didn't they did? They pass it off?
Speaker 5: Did it?
Speaker 2: They took it was a man, they took it.
Speaker 5: That's so fast.
Speaker 4: Press And when Brandon press it was a rap that
Speaker 4: it was also say that's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, o that because you don't have any trapping, he
Speaker 2: doesn't have any traffic to fight through.
Speaker 1: You're trying to hope so to make him bump, but
Speaker 1: wants brand to get that freeze on it and.
Speaker 2: He can just knife it. It's a dead play. But
Speaker 2: give the Celtics credit.
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum Jaylen Brown of the first Celtics duo to
Speaker 1: each have at least thirty points, at least five rebounds,
Speaker 1: at least five assists in an NBA Finals game.
Speaker 2: They put the MAVs on the brink of elimination.
Speaker 1: They forced him down three to zero on the night
Speaker 1: in which Kyrie had thirty five and Luca had twenty seven,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't enough to overcome the dynamic duo and
Speaker 1: Jason Derrick White chipping in giving him sixteen big points
Speaker 1: and the Celtics are one went away.
Speaker 2: Excuse me from being an NBA champion.
Speaker 1: Kevin Garnett says that Luka Doncic is the only one
Speaker 1: who can catch Lebron James scoring record. Said, Listen, Luca
Speaker 1: is set up to be the only in i GGA
Speaker 1: to catch Bron. Nobody wants to say this, ish. Listen
Speaker 1: to Luca averaging thirty What do you do this year?
Speaker 1: Thirty three on one leg, drinking beer, having fun, doing
Speaker 1: god who knows what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because if you look at.
Speaker 1: Oho, he's ahead of the place where Bron was at
Speaker 1: the same age. The question is you see Bron's training.
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. It's not like Bron is done back.
Speaker 1: Bron's about to sign another two year plus option. So
Speaker 1: the record right now forty thousand, probably when Lebron is
Speaker 1: done is gonna probably be somewhere around forty three to
Speaker 1: forty four thousand. The question is, is Luca gonna get
Speaker 1: himself in shape, keep himself in shape because smoking hookah.
Speaker 2: And draking beer. I don't know if that's the only waste.
Speaker 4: Stuff like that doesn't it doesn't hit you on the
Speaker 4: back end of your career. Stuff like that is already
Speaker 4: in you own. Stuff like that is already in you.
Speaker 4: It was already embedded in Lebron to always train and
Speaker 4: the man in which he trains at and just understand it.
Speaker 4: In order for me to want to play for a
Speaker 4: very long time and be consistent at what I do.
Speaker 5: These are the things they have to put in.
Speaker 4: Luke had been playing as a pro for a very
Speaker 4: long time, and they can play in a completely different
Speaker 4: structural system that isn't really like ours, which is why
Speaker 4: he's able to get away with what he does where
Speaker 4: I don't think he will have the longevity that Lebron
Speaker 4: has to even reach forty thousand points.
Speaker 5: Absolutely not.
Speaker 4: You think, oh, you think magically he's just gonna some
Speaker 4: all of a sudden going to click and be like,
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm just gonna strictly lock in on
Speaker 4: basketball even in the off season and train like a
Speaker 4: mad man.
Speaker 1: No, if you look at it, oo, if you look
Speaker 1: at the European players, most of those guys grew up
Speaker 1: wanting to be Messy, wanting to be Ronaldo, wanting to
Speaker 1: be wanting to be Maridona. So the scoring, you know,
Speaker 1: being the best NBA player is not really how on
Speaker 1: their radar you look at Jokic, Yokich would rather be
Speaker 1: racing his horses than probably playing in a game.
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean the same, It doesn't carry the same weight.
Speaker 1: So for European player, probably soccer is probably their first love.
Speaker 1: Now they got good at obviously Yolk got too big
Speaker 1: and get to play soccer and Sodan Luca. But that
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean the same thing because as an American player,
Speaker 1: you grow up knowing what numbers are. If you play football,
Speaker 1: you know how many yards in his rush for now
Speaker 1: that Brady has the record. You know how many touchdowns
Speaker 1: and things of that nature, how many receptions and yards
Speaker 1: and touchdown that Jerry Wright have.
Speaker 2: Same thing in baseball, same thing in basketball.
Speaker 1: But they didn't grow up looking at like, man, I
Speaker 1: want to be this, I want to be that. I
Speaker 1: don't think that's how they look at it, Ojo and so.
Speaker 1: But I don't think the thing is I don't think
Speaker 1: he's gonna be around long enough. I don't think he
Speaker 1: said it that. No no, no, no no, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: be around that long because he's able to get away
Speaker 1: this now because he young, he's young, and you know,
Speaker 1: you see his body, he's beat up.
Speaker 5: Now, Hey, I'm just gonna say that. You notice how
Speaker 5: young he is.
Speaker 4: They say he's only twenty five, right, But if you
Speaker 4: if you watch his manor watch the way you walk,
Speaker 4: the way he moves, he moved like an old man,
Speaker 4: move like a thirty that's funny.
Speaker 5: That's funny.
Speaker 4: And I think it's because he's been playing the game
Speaker 4: of basketball at a high intense, a high intense level
Speaker 4: for such a long time that has.
Speaker 5: Beat his body up, even at a young age.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's gonna be interesting. I don't believe. I
Speaker 1: don't believe now he could change it around. But I
Speaker 1: don't believe he's gonna stay around long enough to get
Speaker 1: that record now, because even if he averaged thirty five,
Speaker 1: somebody said that if he averaged thirty five points for
Speaker 1: the next ten years, he still would be over forty
Speaker 1: four hundred points away.
Speaker 2: Damn thirty.
Speaker 1: So if he averaged thirty five points a game for
Speaker 1: the next ten years, he's still four thousand points away.
Speaker 1: That's if Lebron were to retire right now. I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: Lebron's not going to retire right now. So he might
Speaker 1: put another three thousand, probably another three thousand, maybe thirty
Speaker 1: five hundred points on the board, maybe even four thousand.
Speaker 1: So now we're looking at somewhere around forty forty three
Speaker 1: and a half forty four thousand, maybe forty four to
Speaker 1: half thousand. Don't think you'll get to forty five, but hey,
Speaker 1: who knows is Lebron James.
Speaker 2: I'm not putting anything fast in.
Speaker 1: But KG believed that Luca might be the only one
Speaker 1: that can catch Lebron James scoring record remains to be
Speaker 1: we'll see. Yeah, Oh Joe, we got a special guest
Speaker 1: joining us. She was the fifth pick in the twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen in WNBA draft. Out of know today, she ranked
Speaker 1: second in the WNBA scoring behind Asia Wilson at twenty
Speaker 1: six point four. We're excited to have tonight. I've been
Speaker 1: practicing this and I hope I get it right. A
Speaker 1: Rique or Goombawilee.
Speaker 6: Here you go. That's up.
Speaker 2: But thank you.
Speaker 4: Hey, listen, man, listen, listen. Nothing but love, nothing but
Speaker 4: praise for your game. Obviously, it was it was my
Speaker 4: first time going. It was my first time going. So
Speaker 4: then I think we had nightcap that night right or
Speaker 4: maybe the following night, and all I can think about
Speaker 4: and being at I watched the NBA a little bit.
Speaker 4: The first thing that came to my mind for a
Speaker 4: comparison to you, based on what I saw with my
Speaker 4: own two wives. Can't nobody tell me ship heys.
Speaker 5: She like Kyrie Irvan.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 4: That's only That's the only thing I can say. So
Speaker 4: you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 5: Listen.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you know I'm going with it, man, Listen.
Speaker 4: It was it was a joy. It was a joy
Speaker 4: watching you play. I'm coming to see y'all play again,
Speaker 4: uh in Dallas when we we have we have our
Speaker 4: tour coming up in Dallas and y'all have a game
Speaker 4: I think the day before in August or the day after.
Speaker 4: But either way, I'm coming to watch you again because
Speaker 4: I need to autograph.
Speaker 5: I need a picture.
Speaker 4: I'm trying that. I'm trying not the fanboy right now.
Speaker 4: So I'm trying to play it cool. But here here, no,
Speaker 4: I appreciate that.
Speaker 5: Let's go.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you a question. What do your
Speaker 1: friends call you? Do they call you Urec or they
Speaker 1: call you Ao.
Speaker 6: Orrique?
Speaker 7: Don't okay, okay, all.
Speaker 2: Right, Look, there have been a lot of discussion.
Speaker 1: Everybody was talking about Caitlyn Clark being snubbed or not
Speaker 1: being selected for the US team women's team to go
Speaker 1: play their Olympics in Paris. I think one of the
Speaker 1: biggest snubs were yourself leading the league and scoring. Everybody
Speaker 1: knows what you bring to the table, can pat the rocks,
Speaker 1: as Kyrie said, you can score. When the list came
Speaker 1: out and your name wasn't on it, what was the
Speaker 1: first thoughts that go through your mind?
Speaker 7: Well, the thing is, I pretty much had an idea
Speaker 7: that I wouldn't be on it. So there's trials and
Speaker 7: stuff that go on throughout the years and previous and
Speaker 7: you do it and you see the vibes, and I
Speaker 7: mean me being me being me, I just felt the vibes, like, honestly,
Speaker 7: when it comes to that stuff, it really doesn't have
Speaker 7: much to do with your game, and it's really about
Speaker 7: who they feel like fits with the team, which I
Speaker 7: mean that's on the men's side too. You know, you
Speaker 7: could have said Kyrie could have made it and stuff
Speaker 7: like that, like they the committee say they look for
Speaker 7: people who you know. I don't know, honestly, but I
Speaker 7: could already tell like that wasn't the type of vib
Speaker 7: so I actually took my name out the pool like
Speaker 7: months ago. So when the list came out, I know
Speaker 7: everybody and who probably like I Rega should have been
Speaker 7: I knew I wouldn't be on it. Now that's not
Speaker 7: saying I didn't think maybe last year I would be
Speaker 7: on the team and I was good enough to make
Speaker 7: the team. But when the list came out, I knew
Speaker 7: I would not be on that one at the time
Speaker 7: because I took my name out the pool, and with
Speaker 7: the pool is it's a big commitment. Like if I
Speaker 7: know that they're not picking me, I'm not gonna you know,
Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying, keep having people pull up, keep
Speaker 7: going to these.
Speaker 6: Trials when I know the vibes. So me being me,
Speaker 6: I'm like, I'm not about to give you all my
Speaker 6: time if I know the vibes. So I knew. I
Speaker 6: knew for sure when the list came out it wasn't.
Speaker 7: But like I said previously, I didn't think I was
Speaker 7: good enough. But hey, you know, it's subjective who they
Speaker 7: think should be on the team. Everybody's great in the WNBA,
Speaker 7: so who they choose is who they choose.
Speaker 6: I can't really control that one.
Speaker 5: And you know, you know what, and I have a question.
Speaker 4: I'm sure the people that make are the people in
Speaker 4: positions of power that make these decisions on who they're
Speaker 4: going to assemble on the US basketball team. I'm sure
Speaker 4: they are basketball heads. But when it comes to this
Speaker 4: decision making and decision process, do you think it's politics
Speaker 4: that comes into play into this? Because I heard one
Speaker 4: of the key words I heard you say is the
Speaker 4: vibe and understanding the vibe. It really shouldn't be about
Speaker 4: the vibe or anything. It's about assembling the best team
Speaker 4: to represent our country. So I know, I don't I
Speaker 4: don't want to get you in any trouble, but can
Speaker 4: you really talk about, you know, the politics side of
Speaker 4: it when it comes to the decision making process for them?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I can't really speak speak to USA
Speaker 7: basketball in general, but just when I think of women's basketball,
Speaker 7: and just however many years I've been playing college and pro,
Speaker 7: politics is always pround now, whether that's whether that's USA Basketball,
Speaker 7: whether that's all star teams, whether that's first team and
Speaker 7: stuff like that. There's politics even with the men's Like
Speaker 7: there's politics in every thing. So I'm gonna just leave
Speaker 7: it at that.
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts about the discourse around the w
Speaker 2: n b A.
Speaker 1: We hear a lot of talk because it's the league
Speaker 1: and a lot of there's a lot of comparison between
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark and Angel Rees being the Bird in Magic
Speaker 1: coming into the w n B A, and we know
Speaker 1: what they did to the NBA because all of a
Speaker 1: sudden they took the finals game off the tape delay.
Speaker 2: There there was this new and it was a.
Speaker 1: Perfect storm because you got Magic and Lakers, you got
Speaker 1: Bird in Boston, the most heated rivals, the most fiercest rivals,
Speaker 1: and they go there so to speak, speak to what's
Speaker 1: what's going on with the w n B A. And
Speaker 1: it seems like these rooks are getting a lot, got
Speaker 1: a lot of credit for what's what's happening in the.
Speaker 6: Dub Yeah, I mean they they bringing a lot of attention.
Speaker 7: I think they should be getting credit to the point
Speaker 7: where they brought a lot of attention to the w
Speaker 7: n b A and the narrative that we don't, you know,
Speaker 7: appreciate that.
Speaker 6: It's crazy because I love it.
Speaker 7: I've been hooping, so more people watching the better, Like
Speaker 7: I've been doing what I'm doing. Now people kind of
Speaker 7: finally catching up and you know, you got to give
Speaker 7: credit to ag.
Speaker 6: You got to give credit to Caitlin.
Speaker 7: Because they brought a lot of fans from college. I
Speaker 7: watched the final four and I was at Dallas because
Speaker 7: I live in Dallas, so I went the year before that,
Speaker 7: and just.
Speaker 6: How many people is there. It's crazy, Like it was insane.
Speaker 7: And I played in the final four, I won a
Speaker 7: national championship, and I thought a lot of people were there.
Speaker 7: So this one, I'm like, they just bringing fans, fans, fans,
Speaker 7: So we appreciate everything that they're bringing. Now it's not
Speaker 7: saying they're the best women's I think like, yeah, that's
Speaker 7: what I'm saying, Like y'all now, seeing Stewie y'all, seeing
Speaker 7: Asia y'all, seeing just players like that, it was like
Speaker 7: they've been dominating for six, seven, eight years and these
Speaker 7: new players will do that at a certain point. But
Speaker 7: right now, I think just the WNBA, we like, we
Speaker 7: appreciate everything that y'all bring it. But it's not gonna
Speaker 7: be easy, like people like people are supposed to sit
Speaker 7: down and you know, put out a red carpent, like
Speaker 7: it's just harder. It probably will be harder because of
Speaker 7: who you are, but that's just what comes with it.
Speaker 7: Like that's like saying bron like people shouldn't check them
Speaker 7: because se the grades, Like no, they're gonna try even harder,
Speaker 7: and that's just what happens.
Speaker 6: That's just you know, competition.
Speaker 1: Are the fans getting popular confused with best? Because two
Speaker 1: things can be true. Somebody can be popular and not
Speaker 1: really good. If somebody can be really good and not popular,
Speaker 1: so are the fans.
Speaker 2: Are the fans getting those two things confused? Freak?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I feel bad for the girls because they're not
Speaker 6: the ones saying it.
Speaker 7: It's the fans, Like I'm not understanding where the delusion
Speaker 7: is coming from. Like Caitlyn and Angel have not said
Speaker 7: nothing like they the best players to come and at
Speaker 7: least say this day that they just want to come.
Speaker 7: They know it's the WNBA, they know how hard it is,
Speaker 7: so they probably like, can y'all be quite a little
Speaker 7: because y'all making it harder for me on the court,
Speaker 7: like y'all looking part on my back. So nobody blames them,
Speaker 7: like it's just the fans and what they bringing. But
Speaker 7: I think they learning now that this league is hard,
Speaker 7: Like they seeing every night people that they've never even
Speaker 7: heard of killing or garden and doing stuff like that.
Speaker 7: So they I think they're gonna catch up more like
Speaker 7: because now it's do with something to talk about.
Speaker 6: They want a storyline.
Speaker 7: But at the end of the day, like the league
Speaker 7: is gonna keep going and the thing's gonna keep being
Speaker 7: the same, So they just gonna waste their breath every
Speaker 7: day or they just gonna enjoy basketball.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard you shutting down the critics like physicality
Speaker 1: because a lot of people are like, well, physicality in
Speaker 1: the dub is not good for basketball, like whoa.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and a male or female matter of the sport,
Speaker 4: it's a contact sport. In order to play the right
Speaker 4: way there, it has to be some type of physicality involved.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And people are being selective with what they're calling physical.
Speaker 7: Like if we're gonna talk about now we're talking about
Speaker 7: the rookie, so we're gonna talk about a hip check,
Speaker 7: that's not basketball. But if we talk about somebody holding
Speaker 7: being stripping the ball and they might falls around, that's basketball.
Speaker 6: There's a difference.
Speaker 7: Nobody's saying the hip check is being physical because that's
Speaker 7: obviously a flagrant foutain that's wrong. But it happens like
Speaker 7: because I watched the whole place, so I seen, you know,
Speaker 7: Kayln talk to her after that. So it's like, if
Speaker 7: you won't talk to somebody, you gotta be ready for something,
Speaker 7: no matter what it is. Like not saying the person's
Speaker 7: response is right, but what they respond is, what their
Speaker 7: respond is how they feel that you come at them.
Speaker 6: So that's different.
Speaker 7: But like I said, I'm not a type of player
Speaker 7: to do that to a player, Like, if you're gonna
Speaker 7: talk to me, I'm gonna show with my game. But
Speaker 7: like people got to get confused dirty and physical because
Speaker 7: it's gonna be physical and there will be some dirty,
Speaker 7: but that on me.
Speaker 6: We're all dirty. It's just some places might be dirty,
Speaker 6: some plays not just like men.
Speaker 7: It's like Draymond might choke somebody out. Yeah, he likes
Speaker 7: something too, So it just depends. Really, it's like individual
Speaker 7: to the player for real.
Speaker 2: It's not the whole league. I like it. I like it.
Speaker 4: I'm just excited for for the w n b A.
Speaker 4: I'm excited for the path is going. I'm excited that
Speaker 4: it's dominating the headlines the way it's the way, Uh
Speaker 4: it hasn't in the past, because if it did in
Speaker 4: the past, and I would actually know about it. And
Speaker 4: as I continue to learn the game, as the game confuses, it.
Speaker 5: Grows, and just it's really is really dope to see.
Speaker 4: And a lot of people, a lot of people, uh,
Speaker 4: they try to tell me, oh, man, way to go
Speaker 4: to these games.
Speaker 5: It's really boring. It's not the same as watching the NBA.
Speaker 5: And I say, this is the funny thing.
Speaker 4: Now that I've I've been able to experience it, and
Speaker 4: I've been to a game or two. Now I can
Speaker 4: sit here and argue with people on Twitter all God damn,
Speaker 4: they see y'all.
Speaker 5: Y'all see y'all fucking lad to me. You told me
Speaker 5: it was nothing. You told me was nothing like so
Speaker 5: and so.
Speaker 4: Now that I've done my homework and had the chance
Speaker 4: experienced what it's like in person, now I can go
Speaker 4: to bat and then the goddamn product on the court.
Speaker 4: It evens up with everything else the pundits and the
Speaker 4: journalists have been talking about.
Speaker 5: There's a reason why y'all making it. No whys y'all
Speaker 5: making that.
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 7: We got some hoopers. I mean you can see it.
Speaker 7: You see the highlights, you see everything, like we got
Speaker 7: some hoopers. This every night is something honestly, and I
Speaker 7: mean I play against it, obviously I'm a part of it.
Speaker 6: But we got some hoopers in the league for sure.
Speaker 1: I think you guys reap is that you probably have
Speaker 1: to be a little better with the basketball for the
Speaker 1: simple fact you can't jump over somebody from the free
Speaker 1: throw line, so.
Speaker 2: You gotta find them.
Speaker 1: You gotta find a way to put the ball in
Speaker 1: the back in the basket without being several foot tall,
Speaker 1: without having without having a forty two inch vernacle. So
Speaker 1: your game, your skill set, the way you shoot the basketball,
Speaker 1: the way you get from point A to point B,
Speaker 1: it has to be pinpoint because you got obviously the
Speaker 1: strength and the athleticism that a man presents.
Speaker 2: Women just don't have that.
Speaker 7: And then the WNBA, honestly, we hold defense like the
Speaker 7: NBA hole defense, probably the last three minutes, last minutes
Speaker 7: in each quarter, the last three minutes of the fourth
Speaker 7: like other than that, they scoring forty fifty sixty seven
Speaker 7: because they just switched it everything.
Speaker 6: I'm like, if we were switching everything in w I
Speaker 6: probably every forty.
Speaker 5: But we trapped.
Speaker 7: You gotta do a lot, like you gotta do a
Speaker 7: lot NBA at watching them like y'all got it so sweet.
Speaker 7: Although they do got to play a lot of minutes,
Speaker 7: so I probably wouldn't be hoding defense season.
Speaker 6: Still, you know.
Speaker 1: What, oh Jo, and I wanted to say congratulations. We
Speaker 1: heard that you just got I did gradulations on the
Speaker 1: engagement that ask you this, Were you nervous?
Speaker 6: I was?

Speaker 7: I had a game they were setting up. I had
Speaker 7: thirty five.
Speaker 5: I went crazy.
Speaker 6: We lost them, but I did good.
Speaker 7: I gotta y'all lose, I know, right, Yeah, we're in
Speaker 7: a composition right now.
Speaker 6: We missed the two All stars. That's not an excuse,
Speaker 6: but uh we we're going through some growing things. I'll
Speaker 6: say that, but we'll be all right. But yeah, it
Speaker 6: was dope. It was. It was. It was amazing.
Speaker 7: I definitely was nervous, but once it happened like it

Speaker 1: Remember when when Kanye was with Nike? Do you have
Speaker 1: any of the easies?
Speaker 7: I got the runners, I don't have any of like
Speaker 7: the red boots, and so I know I got the
Speaker 7: black ones like some tan ones, but I can't wear
Speaker 7: them like they just on ice because I'm Nike.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, yeah, okay, you got to step both.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, I don't wear them honestly.
Speaker 7: But the thing is I being slides, Like if it's

Speaker 7: or Nike running shoes.
Speaker 1: But hey, I also heard you wanted you wanted the
Speaker 1: top five best dress.
Speaker 6: No, no, I agree.
Speaker 4: You're putting that ship on You're putting that ship on
Speaker 4: that yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So if you if you top five and you say
Speaker 1: you're not two, three or four, four or five?
Speaker 2: So who who your other? Who you other four?
Speaker 6: The other four in the league right now?
Speaker 7: I'll give Tasha Cloud okay, okay, yeah Cloud. I give
Speaker 7: Skylar I like, okay.
Speaker 6: Kleia Copper, she got a smooth style.
Speaker 7: Okay, Klea Copper, Skylark.
Speaker 6: Who I'll get Dominant.
Speaker 5: Hills Okay, okay, okay, that's what's up. Yeah I like it.
Speaker 2: So you like do you like Do you like sneakers
Speaker 2: with all your outfits?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 7: I mean I used to be like super sneakerd up
Speaker 7: like Nike Nike, but now I just do like some
Speaker 7: overs or some like okay, shoes that ain't got really
Speaker 7: no label, but they just that. Most of my shoes
Speaker 7: been coming out of As you know, I'm on the
Speaker 7: player pants right now, so you might not even see
Speaker 7: the shoes.
Speaker 1: You you tell about bail bottle you got. So let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. How long does it take
Speaker 1: you to put together outfit? Do you know your next game?
Speaker 1: Do you have your outfit already picked out? Or is
Speaker 1: it like last minute?
Speaker 7: Like yeah, usually the night before, Like I already ticked
Speaker 7: out when I'm about to work for the game tomorrow.
Speaker 7: So I'm not stressed because you know, the game days,
Speaker 7: it'd be a lot going on. I don't got time
Speaker 7: to be looking, and it takes a long time to
Speaker 7: pick out it, like unless I, you know, have somebody
Speaker 7: help me with outfit. If I'm picking my own, like,
Speaker 7: it takes me a long time, So I got to
Speaker 7: do it the night before for sure.
Speaker 1: So can we tell the difference between an outfit a
Speaker 1: rek picked out as opposed to someone helping her pick
Speaker 1: it out?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 2: The difference?
Speaker 7: No, Because I got style, So whether it's a stylist
Speaker 7: or whether it's myself, it's all.
Speaker 6: It's all at one.
Speaker 7: When I use a stylists collaboration because I'm not just
Speaker 7: wearing what you give me. Like if I think a
Speaker 7: shoe go better with that, I'm gonna wear that, or
Speaker 7: a pan go better with this top, Like it's usually
Speaker 7: like by pieces we talk about it.
Speaker 6: But if it's full fits and I like really really
Speaker 6: like it, I'm gonna wear the whole fit. But we
Speaker 6: usually talk about it.
Speaker 7: I'm never gonna wear some like like them NBA players,
Speaker 7: they got two thousand dollars on.
Speaker 6: They look a hot mess from top to ball. That's
Speaker 6: that's never gonna be me. That's never gone to me.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you a question when you go
Speaker 1: with so what do you what do you try to
Speaker 1: accomplish when you go to the game. Obviously you want
Speaker 1: to be stylish and you know because now every like
Speaker 1: everybody to fit entry into the game if damn and
Speaker 1: important is what happens in the game.
Speaker 7: But it just depends, like it really depends on the
Speaker 7: time I had the night before, Like if I'm really
Speaker 7: about to tap in. It depends on city too, like
Speaker 7: I like New York Arena, like I like Phoenix, so
Speaker 7: I might want to get more dressed up, like or
Speaker 7: if I'm in La or something. So it depends on
Speaker 7: the vibe of the game too. But if I just
Speaker 7: felt like getting dressed. If I'm at home, I'm gonna
Speaker 7: do that. So it's it's never really like am rhythm
Speaker 7: just whatever?
Speaker 5: To be honest, do you always get dressed up?
Speaker 2: Do you?
Speaker 1: If it ever, like when you go out somewhere that
Speaker 1: you might be seen or for togs might grab you,
Speaker 1: that you're not always to the nine?
Speaker 6: Nah? No, I'm no. I'll be in sweats like the time.
Speaker 7: Like the most time I'm dressed up is the tunnel, Like, Okay,
Speaker 7: that's what I like. If I got somewhere to go, yes,
Speaker 7: But I also don't go a lot of places.
Speaker 6: Like I'll be at home. I'm a homebody.
Speaker 1: I like to be at the house, right right, So
Speaker 1: what so what can we expect? You mentioned that you
Speaker 1: guys going through a little rough pack, you're gonna get
Speaker 1: some of your key players back. Are you doing your thing?
Speaker 1: What can we expect from the Wings moving forward?
Speaker 7: There? And reek fun basketball? I'm in exciting basketball. Like
Speaker 7: I'm I'm a flashy player type.
Speaker 6: So I like to entertain. I like to get a bucket.
Speaker 6: I like to I like to keep the fans and gags.
Speaker 6: But I also like to win.
Speaker 7: And compete and play with my team, so definitely hopefully
Speaker 7: a lot more wins. But anytime you go to a game,
Speaker 7: you're gonna get some exciting So definitely fans need to
Speaker 7: look forward to that.
Speaker 2: Who we like competing against who we like.
Speaker 1: When you like you gonna schedule, like okay, yeah, I
Speaker 1: know everybody's gonna be watching that game. Where whether it's
Speaker 1: the whether it's the Aces and Kelsey Plumb and Chelsea
Speaker 1: Gray and Asia Wilson, or if the Liberty it's the
Speaker 1: netcol Is Joan Cuell, Jones, is Stuart excuse me, whether
Speaker 1: you go not normally it's Seattle because they got them guards,
Speaker 1: they got scylet diggers, they got you tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Actually, oh yes, so that's the shame.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 7: Me and me and Juel we be having last time
Speaker 7: we played each other last year we had like both
Speaker 7: games like thirty and thirty. One time we had forty
Speaker 7: one and forty like we'd be going crazy and we
Speaker 7: both went to Notre Dance so it'd be competitive. But
Speaker 7: it's all fun, even Stylin like I love playing against
Speaker 7: great guards, like because.
Speaker 6: One you you cold, I'm cold.
Speaker 7: We about to see who the cold is tonight, like
Speaker 7: we about to see what's going on. And I love
Speaker 7: when we guard each other too, so it's really like
Speaker 7: each other. We're gonna score on each other. So I
Speaker 7: probably guard you them all. She probably guarded me, so
Speaker 7: it'll be fun, you know, playing against her. So I
Speaker 7: love playing against her and other players like who get up?
Speaker 7: Like yeah, I'm about to lie you up, Like I
Speaker 7: love that. Like I love when.
Speaker 6: People come at me competitive because I know what I have.
Speaker 6: I'm never for anybody. So we're just about to see
Speaker 6: who's gonna be the best.
Speaker 1: You are? You are you a trashed off and you
Speaker 1: be in your bag like that, like, yeah, that's that's one.
Speaker 2: That's a bucket that baby.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: But I don't talk to people like if somebody you talk, nah,
Speaker 7: I don't really talk to people like I'd be more
Speaker 7: worried about the rest of anything. I was, like, that's
Speaker 7: a fire, I'm yelling out top. I'm not really young player,
Speaker 7: but I don't really I don't really trash talk. Like
Speaker 7: if I hit a good bucket, I might say at person.
Speaker 2: You know what, you were going dancing with the stars,
Speaker 2: what was that experience?
Speaker 7: Like it was crazy. I was more nervous for that
Speaker 7: than anything, Like you think it's not. You think it's
Speaker 7: not bad until you get to that little stage and
Speaker 7: you gotta do something you're not used to in front
Speaker 7: of all these people, like just like it was. And
Speaker 7: then the practice it's like we have to practice like
Speaker 7: three four hours a day. I'm like, I gained a
Speaker 7: lot of respect for dancers after dancers, I'm like, y'all really, like,
Speaker 7: that's a lot.
Speaker 6: It's a lot, but it was fun. I met a
Speaker 6: lot of cool people, but it was a lot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dancing with the Star was awesome.
Speaker 4: Obviously I did season ten Dance with the Stars with
Speaker 4: Cheryl Burke, and I always say it was a great experience.
Speaker 5: People always ask me about it.
Speaker 4: I say, it's very humbling, obviously with her being a
Speaker 4: professional dancer and then critiquing and judging you as a professional,
Speaker 4: not someone that's coming in learning week to week on
Speaker 4: how to perform, you know. So I mean it was
Speaker 4: very enjoyable. The funny thing about it is, I like
Speaker 4: it about the show. The whole point of the show.
Speaker 4: To me, it would be taking people with no background
Speaker 4: experience in dancing and watching them getting better week the week.
Speaker 4: But my season I had to go against Nicole Scherzinger,
Speaker 4: who was the lead lead singer for the Pushycat Dolls,
Speaker 4: and what she does for.
Speaker 5: A living is entertaining and performing from the people.
Speaker 4: So I'm like, well, why do y'all have me going
Speaker 4: against some of that already dances for a living when
Speaker 4: it comes to their respect and craft. So it made
Speaker 4: no sense. But I know I did fairly well that season,
Speaker 4: so I really wasn't tripping.
Speaker 6: Well. At least she did good. That's all that matter.
Speaker 1: Everyone, Please go follow a Rik on our social media's
Speaker 1: that's a Rik underscore. Goom on, I g at a
Speaker 1: Rik underscore. Oh capitol O on Twitter, Riek, thank you
Speaker 1: for joining us, Good luck the season, and uh congratula.
Speaker 1: You know what, if there's a game when we're in
Speaker 1: town at the on the tour, we'll swing through.
Speaker 7: All right, man, I'm gonna hold you.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thanks for coming on with us tonight, a Rik,
Speaker 1: Oh goomba wile ladies and gentlemen. Uh that was a
Speaker 1: great conversation. You can tell that she's a very outgoing person.
Speaker 1: She has a lot to say. But she got crazy game,
Speaker 1: Oh Joe, she got crazy, crazy game. I got helped
Speaker 1: to her when she hit that shot Notre Dame time
Speaker 1: on the plot bowling, and uh, I think it, as
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, if I'm not mistaken, I think
Speaker 1: it might have been against you con but she ended
Speaker 1: up winning, winning the game.
Speaker 2: If I think it, that was a while ago, but
Speaker 2: she was.
Speaker 1: She's a fantastic ball She got handles, she can put
Speaker 1: the back, she can flat out score the basketball. She
Speaker 1: can flat out score the basket ball. And so it
Speaker 1: was really great having all Ocho. On a bit of
Speaker 1: sad news, the legendary great Jerry West passed away. The
Speaker 1: basketball icon NBA Champions a player. He's a Finals MVP.
Speaker 1: He's the only man to ever win Finals MVP on
Speaker 1: the losing squad that was in nineteen sixty nine. He's
Speaker 1: a fourteen time All Star. He was named All Star
Speaker 1: every single year he was in the league. He had
Speaker 1: nine nine NBA Finals appearances, had a series average which
Speaker 1: he averaged forty three points again forty six points a game,
Speaker 1: a scoring title, and an assist title. Twelve time All NBA,
Speaker 1: five time All Defensive, two time Executive of the Year,
Speaker 1: eight rings. As an exec helped build a shack in
Speaker 1: Kobe and the Showtime Lakers, helped build the Dynasty Warriors,
Speaker 1: better known as the.
Speaker 2: Logo the Great Jerry West at the age of eighty six.
Speaker 1: Fans condolences go out to his family everyone that was impacted.
Speaker 1: Obviously the Lakers where you spend his fourteen year NBA career,
Speaker 1: where he was a general manager that put those teams together.
Speaker 1: He moved on to uh he was in the U
Speaker 1: with the Clippers, Golden State, then the Clippers. So who
Speaker 1: Jerry West has passed away at the age of eighty six,
Speaker 1: thought some prayers to go out to all those impacted
Speaker 1: by the tragic passing of Jerry West.
Speaker 2: NBA legend is gone.
Speaker 5: Or you just you never know where.
Speaker 4: The funny thing about it is usually when it when
Speaker 4: it comes to celebs or people that are well known
Speaker 4: and in depth, it hits people differently, and for some reason,
Speaker 4: we take every day for granted. Every day we take
Speaker 4: it for granted because you never you never know. You know,
Speaker 4: when you're born, you're born with an expiration date. You
Speaker 4: never know where that date is going to be. And
Speaker 4: it's one of the few reasons why peop always say, boy,
Speaker 4: why you always why are you always huging people?
Speaker 7: Ay?
Speaker 4: You are always telling everybody that I love you because
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's gonna be the last time
Speaker 4: that I have any type of engagement with you. And
Speaker 4: if it is, I just wanted the last thought or
Speaker 4: the last last marrory and me to always be boy.
Speaker 4: I remember the last time I saw Ocho boy, he
Speaker 4: gave me a hug and told me loved me like
Speaker 4: you know me. God, damn, thirty years and that my
Speaker 4: first time meeting. Just look, just look, we know not
Speaker 4: the hour of yesday.
Speaker 1: And as the song says, it may be the last
Speaker 1: time I don't know, maybe the last time we sing together,
Speaker 1: maybe the last time we pray together, maybe the last
Speaker 1: time we get together.
Speaker 2: Lord, it may be the last time. I don't know again.
Speaker 1: Great legendary Jerry West passed at the age of eighty six.
Speaker 4: Well, if you got any family, but we got any friends,
Speaker 4: you know you don't talk to right now for whatever reason,
Speaker 4: y'all mad at each other.
Speaker 5: Think about it.
Speaker 4: Think about think about them now being able to say
Speaker 4: goodbye and then being gone.
Speaker 5: You regret it and go ahead and make amends.
Speaker 1: Man Tom Brady was inducted into the Patriots Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame with his number twelve, Big Right in a Solda
Speaker 1: ceremony tonight, in front of more than sixty thousand fans
Speaker 1: in Gillette Stadium, Tom Brady was inducted into the New
Speaker 1: England Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: Robert Kraft announced that the.
Speaker 1: Like we didn't know this for shoe, the number twelve
Speaker 1: Jersey will never ever be warned again. Craft also said
Speaker 1: a statue of Brady measuring twelve feet tall, will be
Speaker 1: unveiled due to twenty twenty fourth season, something the franchise
Speaker 1: has never done before. Brady expressed his thanks to mister
Speaker 1: Craft and concluded by saying, I'm eternally grateful.
Speaker 2: I'm Tom Brady, and I'm a Patriot. I like it.
Speaker 4: Listen rightfully, So look at what he's done for the game,
Speaker 4: not just the Patriots, not just in general. We know
Speaker 4: what he's done with the Patriots. We know what he's
Speaker 4: done for Boston. We know he's done for that city.
Speaker 4: We know them for that organization. Twenty years, a good
Speaker 4: twenty years, A great twenty year run, that's great.
Speaker 2: They don't a great twenty year run.
Speaker 4: As a Patriot fan, you know how good it has
Speaker 4: to be to know, Oh, you know what's so most
Speaker 4: football season, guess what well it doesn't matter what happens,
Speaker 4: We're going to be in contention. Oh shit, year two
Speaker 4: we got Tom Brady quarterback. Well, you know what football
Speaker 4: seams almost here. Guess what. We don't know how the
Speaker 4: season is going to turn out, but guess what, we're
Speaker 4: going to be in contention. Hell, you know, some fans
Speaker 4: can't even wake up and say, well, I don't know
Speaker 4: how a season will go.
Speaker 5: Hopefully we make the playoffs.
Speaker 4: We're going to be in that b We're going to
Speaker 4: be in contention for twenty years straight. It has to
Speaker 4: be one of the best feelings as an owner, as
Speaker 4: a head coach, as a fan of a certain team,
Speaker 4: just knowing you're going to be there, You're going to
Speaker 4: be in the mix somewhere.
Speaker 2: Bro, he's the only guy I mean to play that long.
Speaker 1: But if you take his career in seven year increments
Speaker 1: every if he goes, You take the first seven years
Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Famer. You take the next seven years,
Speaker 1: he's the Hall of Famer. You take the next seven
Speaker 1: years the Hall of famer. With the exception of maybe
Speaker 1: one of those years, you could make a case that
Speaker 1: he's still he's still the greatest cornerback of all time.
Speaker 1: If you just if you, if you just take out
Speaker 1: all those just seven years, you still can have a
Speaker 1: compelling case based on how much he won, the consistency
Speaker 1: is won and what he won super Bowl.
Speaker 4: And the funny thing about it, by thing about it,
Speaker 4: if you look at Tom Brady's bad years, even his
Speaker 4: bad years is better than better than most bro.
Speaker 2: His bad years, he losing the AFC Championship game to Peyton.
Speaker 1: Manny, he loses, he losing to the Ravens, I mean,
Speaker 1: he losing the championship game or he losing the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: His bad year is not oh they didn't make the playoffs. Oh,
Speaker 1: his bast year a bad year. I think maybe one
Speaker 1: year they wore out the first round. But for the
Speaker 1: most part, you could damn them, pencil them in for
Speaker 1: the championship game every time, every time, and you definitely
Speaker 1: didn't want to see him now because there was a
Speaker 1: good chance that he was gonna put foot seed. Tom
Speaker 1: Brady inducted himtol the Patriots Hall of Fame with his
Speaker 1: number twelve being retired, and mister Kraft said, there's a
Speaker 1: statue that's gonna be erected of Tom, measuring twelve feet tall,
Speaker 1: unveiled during the twenty fourth season, something the franchise has
Speaker 1: never done.
Speaker 2: There's a chance will never do it again.
