Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of Full Circle. I'm here

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: with Lexi Brown. Lexi.

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 2: How you doing?

7
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, I'm doing okay? Yea, guys.

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 4: You know we are still not a thousand points, which

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 4: is so crazy.

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 3: We're still four points away.

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 4: Guys. We are now fighting for our playoff lives. If

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 4: you guys didn't know, there's only one playoff spot left.

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 4: Today is September eighth. By the time this episode comes out,

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 4: we will have either secured they seed or seventh seed

15
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 4: whatever or six I don't know, a playoff spot, or

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 4: we will be waiting to see if this far lose

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 4: one more game. So, as of right now, we are

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 4: still one hundred in control of our destiny. But if

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 4: we trick off the game tomorrow, we must stay in wait,

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 4: which is annoying. I've never do you play tomorrow the Valkyries,

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 4: which has hapened.

22
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 3: Okay, they've had our number all season. Yeah, you have

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 3: history with them, Yeah, like it's smoke with the Valkyries.

24
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: So I'm I.

25
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: Feel like you played the Valkyries every two weeks.

26
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 4: We played them like a lot at the very beginning,

27
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 4: and we haven't played them in a while, so I think, yeah,

28
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 4: I don't think we've played them since before All Star

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 4: break because kayle Thorine played in all of the games

30
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 4: that we played against them.

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure.

32
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: So yeah, since All Star we have not seen the Valkyris,

33
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 4: and they've had like a lot of changes, and they've

34
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 4: been hooping and we have not been hooping. But despite

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 4: all that, we still can be in the playoffs, and

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 4: that's all that matters is getting to the end. So

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: let's do a little like mini playoff picture rundown real quick.

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 3: Who's playing? So that's fine? Oh the Sun and the

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: Dreamer A.

40
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: Fever clinched a spot with when over the mystics.

41
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: This is insane.

42
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 4: This is insane, like the expectations that we had at

43
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 4: the beginning of the year.

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: It's just so crazy.

45
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 4: One, I think this season has flown by, like the

46
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: first like few weeks of the season a little slow,

47
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: but like once you started going and going and going,

48
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 4: this season flew by, like I cannot believe we're at

49
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 4: our forty fourth game tomorrow the Fever, and that this

50
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: is no disrespect to the Fever at all, because we

51
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 4: were very high on them at.

52
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: The beginning of the year, like finals favorite season. We

53
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 3: thought that they were yeah, which they were.

54
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 4: They are injuries, but I mean, and that's that's the

55
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: crazy part about it, Like the fact that they've had

56
00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 4: all of.

57
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: That and they still made the playoffs.

58
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 4: Mind y'all, if y'all didn't know, like the Fever were

59
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 4: not in the playoffs for like a really long time

60
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 4: before last season. So the fact that Kylen Clark came

61
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 4: in as a rookie and did what she did, you know,

62
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 4: on top of everything that Kelsey Mitchell has has been doing,

63
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 4: and then Alia bought like what they have been building

64
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: there in the last like year and a half two

65
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 4: years and for its all come fruition to fruition, fruition

66
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 4: this quickly, and them still making the playoffs despite losing

67
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 4: like half of their team to season ending injuries.

68
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: It's crazy, Like it's insane.

69
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: That we are we have not had knock on wood,

70
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: it's it's a blessing that we haven't had any like

71
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 4: injuries on our team. But like No one on our

72
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 4: team has been injured, No one has been out for

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 4: sea an amount of time. We probably one of the

74
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 4: few teams that's had like the same starting lineup the

75
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 4: entire year, damn near.

76
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 3: And the fact that we're like just.

77
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: Dragging crawling into the eighth place right now, like like

78
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: that's just it's just crazy thing about sports, Like you

79
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 4: could predict and think all you want about certain teams,

80
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 4: but you just never know how things are going to

81
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 4: shake out. So like the Fever clinching a playoff spot

82
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 4: last night, having three or four.

83
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 3: Players I have a real rotational.

84
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 4: Minutes on that team that we're not on the team

85
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 4: like two three weeks ago, Like it's insane.

86
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: And that's like I have something to say.

87
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 4: About that, as well as far as roster makeups right now,

88
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 4: because it's a little ridiculous about the transactions and things

89
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 4: that happen happening in this league that I've liked to

90
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 4: do it. So I was looking at all the playoff

91
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 4: team rosters and I wrote down everybody's name. I won't

92
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 4: go through every name, but there's like like close to

93
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 4: twenty ish players that are on teams now in the

94
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 4: playoffs that were not on the team before the season started,

95
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 4: so and only like two or three of them were

96
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 4: like on a team before and then got traded. The

97
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 4: rest of them were like not even on a roster period.

98
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 3: So now in the WNBA, yes, and.

99
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 4: Now they're finishing this season on a playoff team. So

100
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: for someone like me who was uprooted from a very

101
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 4: good situation in LA, in my opinion, personally, I don't know.

102
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: What they Like I told y'all, I still don't know

103
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: why I was traded. I don't know why I was

104
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: brought to Seattle.

105
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 4: I don't know why LA traded me for a second

106
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 4: round pick, Like, I don't know why that happened.

107
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 3: But the fact that.

108
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 4: I have been dealing with the situation I've been dealing

109
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 4: with it's been fine. I'm blessed, I'm greatful of a job.

110
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: I'm about to hopefully be in the playoffs. Like it's

111
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 4: it's all great. Still, why do I what am I

112
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: going to training camp for? What am I What am

113
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 4: I busting my ass in training camp for? When I

114
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 4: could just chill at home until August and then go

115
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 4: play for a team that needs a player later in

116
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 4: the year. And there's like no expectation the team might

117
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 4: be like in desperation mode a little bit, like when

118
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 4: they need a body, they need a player. And because

119
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 4: these players are coming in on their hardship deal and

120
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 4: they're playing like it's like it has been mind boggling

121
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 4: to me because I'm like, these are hardship players who

122
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 4: are super talented and obviously belong in the league because

123
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 4: they're in the game making an impact and doing well.

124
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 4: But why why not I don't go to training camp

125
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 4: and I too until All Star break and then once

126
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: June July passes, I'll be like, Okay, I'm ready to complain.

127
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: W NBA. Now, y'all got some.

128
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: Here's a question, would you be more?

129
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: Because the difference is the lack of security. The difference

130
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: is you're waiting would you be missed situation where you're

131
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: waiting then being yeah, I guess you're kind of on

132
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: standby either way, but at least you like are secure

133
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: on a team.

134
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 4: You know, it's like this year, and for anybody who

135
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: doesn't know, like this is my first season I've had

136
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 4: a guaranteed contract. So the fact that the season is

137
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 4: going the way it's going, like thankfully for me, Like,

138
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 4: despite what the decisions that are being made above me,

139
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 4: like I am secure, and that actually has been really

140
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 4: great and has allowed me to kind of like not

141
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: be so super stressed out about this season because I

142
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: have this season and next season like locked down, so

143
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 4: how this season is not going to affect my employment

144
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: next year, which is a blessing in itself. But it's like, yeah,

145
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: essentially you're playing, you're staying on standby like for a flight,

146
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: but you mess around and you get on that flight

147
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 4: and like, oh wait, you we actually have a first

148
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 4: class seat ready for you.

149
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: If you want it as well.

150
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 4: Right, But then it's also like, am I didn't even

151
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 4: get on the flight at all? So yeah, like you're

152
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 4: absolutely right when you say, like that job security. But

153
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 4: I didn't look into other seasons like prior to this

154
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: one about how often that happens, Like, for example, Indiana

155
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: has I'll say indian has four, you don't say has

156
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 4: like five players that are playing that we're not on

157
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 4: the seat on the opening day roster And I'm like,

158
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 4: that's crazy, that's crazy. And then I was looking at

159
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: Indiana and Golden States, like the roster on the stats

160
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 4: on ESPN, it's like thirty names Dallas got like thirty names,

161
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 4: Like it's insane. So I just I know everybody is

162
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 4: always so like locked in on like the salaries, the

163
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 4: salary caps, the salary things.

164
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 3: The way we need an extended roster.

165
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 4: I don't know if Kathy is gonna budge on that,

166
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 4: but I've never seen anything like this season, and I

167
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 4: could be wrong because maybe I wasn't paying attention enough

168
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 4: in previous seasons, but we need more roster spots because

169
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 4: people just coming in and out and hardship and extreme emergencies,

170
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 4: super duper hardship like Dallas has been unlocking hardships I

171
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 4: didn't even know existed. And then I'm like, where y'all

172
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: getting this money from? Like it's so crazy to me.

173
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 4: And then yeah, so we're talking about salary and we

174
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 4: can't get off that. We can't even move forward and

175
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 4: our CBA talk because of the salary thing. But it's

176
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: like the roster spot to me is like the next

177
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 4: glaring issue because you know.

178
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: We got the travel.

179
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 4: I don't like that's going to have to be renegotiated

180
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 4: as well though with the charter flights. But I feel

181
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: like for me personally, like this roster situation is bad

182
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 4: and it looks bad and it looks crazy, and I

183
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 4: just can't believe that that many players are on end

184
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 4: of the season teams and they were at not even

185
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 4: on other teams, they were at home like that.

186
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: That's also a proof of how much talent is out

187
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: there that isn't in the WNBA, because for them to

188
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: not be on teams at all and then to just

189
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: fit seamlessly into a system they weren't in, not have

190
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: been at training camp, like you said, not be obviously

191
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: everyone's working and saying ready all the time, but not

192
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: be working the way y'all are working with that team

193
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven in training camp and then to

194
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: just PLoP into that system and b and who make

195
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: an impact and go to the playoffs and hoop. It's

196
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: like that says something about the fact that, Okay, there's

197
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: obviously so much talent that isn't in the league yet

198
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: that we're not tapping into. And the only way to

199
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: solve that, I guess expansion teams also will help, but

200
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: is roster spots.

201
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean roster So I mean I hope that

202
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 4: I think Golden State like has shown what expansion does,

203
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 4: what expansion needs to look like, especially They're the first

204
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 4: expansion team to make the playoffs in their first season,

205
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 4: which I think is crazy because when I'm thinking about

206
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: some of the other expansion teams, like everybody in this

207
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 4: league is capable of playing if they get opportunities in minutes.

208
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 4: For the most part, they are not everybody, but most

209
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 4: players are absolutely capable of making a big impact and

210
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 4: leading a team to the playoffs. So the fact that

211
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 4: this is the first expansion team that has made it

212
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 4: to the playoffs in their first year is a little

213
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 4: crazy to me, But I think it's really it's like

214
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 4: just a great standard to set moving forward with these

215
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 4: new teams of like what that needs to look like,

216
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 4: how you build a culture, how you build a fan

217
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 4: base with Like I wouldn't call any I wouldn't call

218
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 4: these players unknown, but they are not you know, your

219
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 4: typical w superstars that you see on all the commercials

220
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 4: and being talked about all the time. But the way

221
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 4: that they've been able to go in Golden State and

222
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 4: like become like those girls like top to bottom, like

223
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 4: that team they like walk with like seeing them from

224
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 4: the beginning now, like the way like their confidence, their swagger,

225
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 4: like they're everything is so like it's elite right now,

226
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 4: and I like love watching them. I sound like a

227
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 4: fan of the Valkyries, But the roster construction is just

228
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 4: like the GM nerded me. Like the roster construction, the

229
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 4: fan base, like the way they market the team, Like

230
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 4: even their intro video they highlight the whole team in it,

231
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 4: not like just not just a few of the players,

232
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 4: like they highlight the entire team, like from the beginning,

233
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 4: from day one, they made it known like this.

234
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 3: Is about all of them, this is about all of us.

235
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 4: And I think that's why they've They have found so

236
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 4: much success that people weren't expecting. And I hope that

237
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 4: the next expansion teams kind of follow suit, at least

238
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 4: at the beginning of there for other early years, you

239
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: have to do that.

240
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 3: It's something new.

241
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 4: So even though as amazing as I think, we gotta

242
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 4: beat their ass tomorrow, we have to and no shade

243
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 4: we go tomorrow, love y'all, But y'all, y'all already are

244
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 4: in the club where you're.

245
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 3: Trying to get in please or LA just gotta or LA.

246
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 4: Just gotta lose. So currently the playoff picture is this today.

247
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 4: Right now, Minnesota is in first place. The Aces are

248
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 4: in second, the Dream are on third, Phoenix is in fourth,

249
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: New York is in fifth, Golden State of sixth, the

250
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 4: Fever are seventh, and US and the Sparks are battling

251
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 4: for this last spot and there still can be movement,

252
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 4: I think within but not you know, Many is secured

253
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 4: first place, but everyone else, like Vegas and Atlanta are tied,

254
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 4: so they could flip flop. Phoenix could sneak in there,

255
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: so it'll be interesting. And then we just played New York.

256
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 4: We unfortunately lost to them, but they're like looking a little.

257
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 3: Shaky.

258
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 4: And I can say this guys because I did not play.

259
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 4: I did not play in this game, so I'm like

260
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 4: a spect I haven't played in the last three games,

261
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 4: so I've been like spectating and like just scouting and

262
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 4: being like, I'm gonna talk about this in my.

263
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: Podcast this week.

264
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 4: But we had I mean we had them, We had

265
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 4: New York, and we just have we have so much

266
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 4: end of game slippage and that's like rebounding and like

267
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 4: finishing games. Holding leads has been like our Achilles Hill

268
00:13:52,880 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 4: all season long. But also Sabrino wasn't playing, so for us, relax,

269
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 4: But I will say when when one of the stars

270
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 4: is missing, it kind of benefits the team if they're

271
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: talented enough, which to the liberty are because you have

272
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 4: your whole scouting report based on how they play. When like,

273
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 4: for example, like when Sabrina is on the court, we

274
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: had a whole scouting report, and then she ends up

275
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 4: not playing, the scouting report changes, and now you know,

276
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 4: we're kind of a little out of sorts with it

277
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 4: because we've been the last two days, we've been talking

278
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 4: about how we're gonna guard Sabrina and then she's not playing,

279
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: and how we got to worry about guarding different actions

280
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 4: and different personnel. So I think that is you know,

281
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 4: it's not a benefit when your star isn't playing, but

282
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: like if you had to look at the bright side

283
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 4: of when there's injuries, you know, you give another play

284
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 4: on your team an opportunity to step up, and then

285
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 4: it makes you know, our scouting report kind of irrelevant

286
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 4: for the most part because that person isn't even playing.

287
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: But we've been in, like our coach have been saying

288
00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 4: we win.

289
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: We're in. We've been saying that for like the last week,

290
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 3: and we have not won.

291
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: You've been saying you said that last week like all

292
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: of our games feel like the last one I was here.

293
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: All of our games feel like must win games every single.

294
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 3: Day, every day, fighting for our lives.

295
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: I believe in y'all though, too.

296
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I just it's a lot.

297
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 4: It's just been a long season, I feel like, and

298
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 4: people have a whole season wrap up recap all that

299
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: when the season, the whole season ends, not just if

300
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 4: our season ends, you know. I feel like a reporter

301
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 4: even asked me before the game, which is so funny.

302
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 4: I'm like, what the hell y'all want to talk to

303
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 4: me about? When every time I get a meeting request.

304
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay.

305
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 4: She asked me about the Chicago Sky team I was

306
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 4: on when we won, because we finished that season in

307
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 4: sixth place, but towards the end of the season, we

308
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 4: were kind of like still figuring it out a little bit.

309
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 3: You know.

310
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 4: We weren't like, dang, we got to win this game

311
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 4: or we're not gonna make the playoffs. Like we were

312
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 4: like comfortably in the playoffs, so you know, that morale

313

354
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 4: Is like literally, this is literally Atlanta fans Like we

355
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 4: got all the gear, we got the cool stuff. But

356
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 4: I'm only going to show up to the game if

357
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 4: it's the super Bowl or the playoffs. No in there

358
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,920

Speaker 1: My mom says that to Atlanta fids are so fickle.

Speaker 1: But to be fair, the dream are actually really good

362
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: right now. But nine times out of ten, our teams

363
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: are just as fickle as we are. They look good

364
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: and then they're not. And it's nobody want to go

365
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: through all that. I can do that from the comfort

366
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: of my home.

367
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 3: But I haven't somebody y'all and they know it.

368
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 2: I haven't sub warded the dream. And I believe.

369
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 3: Before the bush, thank you you did, you did, you

370
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,760

371
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 3: going to work out.

372
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 4: But you definitely have been like very high on them

373
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 4: from the beginning.

374
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 3: But I think even in.

375
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 4: Your standards, they they overachieved a little bit. I feel like,

376
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 4: one do you expect to do?

377
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 3: Guys?

378
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:15,479
Speaker 4: I want to give one shout out to Ryan Howard

379
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 4: real quick.

380
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 3: Because.

381
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 4: They well, they beat they beat La, which helped us,

382
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 4: so thanks for that. She also tied the WNBA record

383
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 4: for most three point makes in a game at nine

384
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 4: b I guess how many she took?

385
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 3: Thirty, No, seventeen.

386
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: The last time you asked me a.

387
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: Question like that, the answer was so outrageous, Like you

388
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: asked me what.

389
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: Was it it was? It wasn't the triple double.

390
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 4: Question and yah, second to at and how many they had?

391
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was like four.

392
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was the star. She it was nine for seventeen.

393
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 4: Like the fact that she has gotten up seventeen threes

394
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 4: multiple she's gotten almost twenty. I think she even had

395
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 4: a game where she shot twenty the confidence that I

396
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 4: really enjoy watching Atlanta play because I like the pace

397
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 4: that they play, like their style of play, and I

398
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 4: like how many threes that they shoot. And when you

399
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 4: have a player like Ryan who has a green light

400
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 4: like that, like, you're always in a position to win games.

401
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 4: You're always in a position to come back from games,

402
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 4: like when you have a shooter like that. So shout

403
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 4: out to Ryan, because you know, nine threes in a

404
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 4: game is tough in a WNBA game that is super tough.

405
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: But also having a coach that believes in you and

406
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: like allows you to let it fly, you know what

407
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: I mean, In a team that believes in you allows

408
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: you to let it fly.

409
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 3: Just let it fly.

410
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 4: Like Ryan, She's not like even in college, like I

411
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 4: didn't always I didn't ever like pay her as a

412
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 4: like three point shooter, but she got into the league

413
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 4: and started putting that shit up like every year. I'm

414
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 4: looking right now, she's attempted at least seven threes per

415
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: game her whole career. That's a lot of threes considering

416
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 4: like that's not the style of play the wnb A

417
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 4: typically has, so it is good to see that she

418
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 4: stuck with that because she she was finding personal success

419
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 4: shooting a lot of three pointers, but she didn't necessarily

420
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 4: have all the personnel or coaching that I think that

421
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 4: she needed for it to lead to success for the

422
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 4: team and making deep playoff runs and having really successful seasons.

423
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 4: And she misses. She missed some time with her kne injuries.

424
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 4: So the fact that she came back and she's been

425
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 4: playing the way she's playing, and Jordan adding having Jordan

426
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 4: Canada back has been amazing for them too. So them

427
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 4: finishing second again, we always sad, like they're they're like

428
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 4: still like they're still like very much.

429
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 3: Flying under the radar.

430
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 4: They're in second place right now, they're tied for second

431
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 4: place right now, and like he's still not really people

432
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 4: are still not really talking about.

433
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 3: The dream and I'm like why they're so they're really good.

434
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 3: They're really good, speaking of people are really good.

435
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 4: I think I think the m VP race is over.

436
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it's done.

437
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: Yes, I have a whole little I wrote that down

438
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: for today.

439
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 4: Yes, Yeah, let's let's hear what you have to say,

440
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 4: because we missed you last week when I was going

441
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 4: in my little heads ahead about with with a t

442
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 4: F in Asia, and they just played each other last

443
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 4: week and Asia, I mean, you had you had a

444
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 4: good game too, but Asia hooped.

445
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 3: I don't know she took that ship personally.

446
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 4: I guess like she had to because he was like runaway, runaway.

447
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 3: MVP pre all Star, like we all were saying it like.

449
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,760

00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: horrible blowout where they were they was dancing down the

451
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 1: tunnel in the video before the game and then they

452
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: got blown out, and she said, if.

453
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,680

470
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 5: really straight up take ownership and be like, look, I'm

471
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 5: the leader of this team.

472
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: If you are not embarrassed, like get away from me,

473
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: and then to take over as she had, everybody has

474
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: to rise as the occasion when you're a star player

475
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: is speaking like that, apps like that and leading by example,

476
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what she's doing. So not only is

477
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: she proving to be the best player in the w

478
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: right now or like so talented, but she is truly

479
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: proving to be the most valuable player that you could

480
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: have as an asset on your team period. To literally

481
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: rally the troops like that because they were down in

482
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: the dumps, like it was bad.

483
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 4: Like that, that loss, you're right, You're absolutely right that

484
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 4: loss could have crash that could have led to like

485
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 4: crash out like it does take a very special person.

486
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 4: It takes a very special leader. It takes a very

487
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 4: special coach staff team to not allow a game like

488
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 4: that like lead into a downward spiral because like you said,

489
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 4: they were having like what many were saying, a very

490
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 4: disappointing year which they still like in our standards of

491
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 4: what the Races look like. Yes, absolutely in the grand scheme,

492
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 4: they were having like a decent year. But that fifty

493
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 4: point loss that they had at home, right, it was

494
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 4: at the crib, That's like that was a defining moment.

495
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 4: Like I feel like every team has like a defining moment,

496
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 4: like special teams. And I feel like if anybody ever

497
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 4: releases like a documentary or a storytell all whatever about

498
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 4: certain teams that they've been on, there's always like a

499
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 4: moment in the season where like something switches.

500
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 3: And it's good or it's bad.

501
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 4: And I think for the Aces, like that was a

502
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 4: moment where shit could have gotten real bad, real dark.

503
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 3: For that team.

504
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 4: And we're just talking from outsiders. This is outside looking.

505
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 4: I don't got no information about what went on and

506
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 4: after that game since then, like other than just watching

507
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 4: them play basketball. But the ownership that Asia took and

508
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 4: how she has definitely like put this whole team on

509
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 4: her back essentially has been insane to watch and also

510
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 4: takes a special team To not take that personally.

511
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: Like to not be like, oh, she's looking at us

512
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: and making us sound like it's us, to be like.

513
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: You know what, yeah, I am embarrassed.

514
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: Like that's all because by herself, even though it might

515
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: look like she's not out there playing by herself, and

516
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: for her teammates to get behind her and be like yeah,

517
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: like this is embarrassing, right and not be like no.

518
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly. So I mean I feel like delivery. I

519
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 4: mean we're seeing it right now with another team. You know,

520
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 4: you have a player that is like, we need to

521
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 4: be better, we need to do better.

522
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 3: I need to do better.

523
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 4: But it's like context is impoorant one, and then yes,

524
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 4: you got to practice what you preach. I don't think

525
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 4: I think that reporter kind of set her up a

526
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 4: little bit, which I don't like one. But it's like,

527
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 4: why would anybody be happy with a team you're not

528
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 4: making the second year you haven't made the playoffs, You underachieved,

529
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 4: you went through some adversity, and just like the aces

530
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 4: went up, they went down, and again that's just sports.

531
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 3: Like there's a lot of.

532
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 4: Things that happened that like are completely out of your control,

533
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 4: like injuries and people at the top, you know, not

534
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 4: being the great the greatest decision makers.

535
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 3: But that was before this group even got there.

536
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 4: Like I was on that team, like I know what

537
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 4: goes on in the top in that organization. We're talk

538
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 4: about the Chicago Sky if you guys don't know, but

539
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 4: like it's not yeah, if you guys didn't know, like

540
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 4: there is issues at the top, and you know, some

541
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 4: people are like, yeah, well.

542
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 2: You are not the first person to say that.

543
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 4: No, I was on a team we would I've never

544
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 4: been I've never seen a team win a championship and

545
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 4: the players be like, we're let's we don't really know

546
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 4: if we want to run this back or not. That

547
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 4: was what the experience for me was like in Chicago,

548
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 4: Like we won that championship and everybody left. I was like, dang,

549
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 4: we not going to try and one another. The coach

550
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 4: even left.

551
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 3: You left in the middle of the season. We're here.

552
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 4: I've never it was so weird, like that championship, that

553
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 4: team was so special, Like the ups and downs of

554
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 4: that season, you know, me getting waves, me being brought

555
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 4: back and like just welcomed back, like I wasn't even

556
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 4: gone for that long. Like it was a very special

557
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 4: group of women on that team. And the fact that

558
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 4: like we won that championship, we were able to like

559
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 4: celebrate for like five minutes and then everybody like went

560
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 4: their separate ways. It was like it was like the

561
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 4: last year of like summer camp before, like you're too

562
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 4: old to being so no more, like you're never going

563
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 4: to see these people again. We're like thanks for the mems.

564
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 4: That's what my season in Chicago was like. Like I remember,

565
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 4: we like won, We had like it was like an

566
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 4: early game, so like the game was over like at

567
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 4: like five or six in the afternoon.

568
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 3: We like celebrated the championship.

569
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 4: We had our like parade like a few days later,

570
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 4: and then I personally was in France playing basketball like

571
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 4: a week after that.

572
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: So I was like sometimes I'm like, did that even happen?

573
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 3: For real?

574
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 4: Was that even real life? Like I didn't even get

575
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:36,719
Speaker 4: to like bask in the championship energy at all? Yeah,

576
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 4: But it was like, dang, Like even now, like that

577
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 4: was like the last year before the w kind of

578
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 4: like started going crazy because the way that like the

579
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 4: Aces were able to like carry on for like six

580
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 4: months after they won that championship, I was like, dang,

581
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 4: I wish we were able to like do that, Like

582
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 4: they were on like TV and at award shows and

583
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 4: like just doing all the stuff. And I was like dang,

584
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 4: like we can get none of that, But none of

585
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 4: the team prior to like twenty twenty three got any

586
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 4: of that kind of stuff.

587
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 3: So it's cool seeing like when you win.

588
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 4: A championship how much you get to enjoy it and

589
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 4: just kind of like be a champ like until someone

590
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 4: makes you not one, basically because even like the next year,

591
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 4: because the team was basically disbanded, there was like no

592
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 4: title defense going on, like that wasn't the conversation that

593
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 4: was being had like oh the sky going to run

594
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 4: it back because like nobody it wasn't the same team.

595
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 3: So that kind of made me sad.

596
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 4: It makes me sad because the skuy haven't been like

597
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 4: we It's so crazy how you go o from winning

598
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 4: a championship to like what they're dealing with now and

599
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 4: that was only three years ago.

600
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: But it's it's obviously it's a like if you're a

601
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get upset at criticism over the team

602
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: when the team is as low in the standings as

603
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: they are, that's where gonna say, like that's just how it's.

604
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: Gonna be, like they're there.

605
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: If you are in a situation like that, there do

606
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: need to be changes, whether that's what they starts in

607
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: that person, these people, whatever, whoever it may be. Also,

608
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: I feel like reporting in that instance, like irresponsible reporting

609
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: on Angel Reese is so dangerous in my opinion, because

610
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: people already know how the world feels about her. She's

611
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: one of the most polarizing not women's basketball, not basketball

612
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: athletes on the planet, like and so to release something

613
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: like that, And because when I first heard about it,

614
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,239
Speaker 1: about the quote, I didn't even bad Deny because I

615
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: was Kobe Bryant fan. I remember Steph Curry when the

616
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: Warriors were bad that one year, looking at the Breast

617
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: Conference and being like, we suck.

618
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 3: And there needs to be changes.

619
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 2: I like legium, like I'm used to that.

620
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: Behavior Asia Wilson what she said a few weeks ago,

621
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: so it didn't make me bad any But when I

622
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: saw the reaction to what people like, oh, she called

623
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: her teammates out, blah blah blah, and then I went

624
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: and read.

625
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: It, I was like, this ain't even that bad.

626
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: This is not Michael Irvin bring in a list of

627
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: players and yeah, and then they like started dragging like

628
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: other teammates into it.

629
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 4: Like overall, like poor irresponsible reporting. I think the timing

630
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 4: was weird, Like you couldn't waited like one more and

631
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 4: two more weeks to like put that out when the

632
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 4: season is over, Like now, you're just kind of like

633
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 4: throwing salt in a wound.

634
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 3: Because also keep in mind.

635
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: She's not just talking like what you were just talking

636
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: about with your media. They she was asked, what did

637
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: you think she was gonna say? They've won what ten games?

638
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 4: They knew that, they knew exactly what she was gonna say,

639
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,239
Speaker 4: and that's what they asked her. So yes, like that,

640
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 4: It's it's a hard lesson that you have to learn

641
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 4: as an athlete, as a role model, as somebody who

642
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 4: you know is considered a star in this in this space,

643
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 4: like she is young, if every everybody always forgets how

644
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 4: young she is. So yes, and she apologized, like I

645
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 4: think it's probably been a very hard week for her

646
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 4: as far as like dealing with a lot of noise,

647
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 4: a hard week for the whole team. You don't want

648
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 4: to hear, you know, it's hard for you to hear

649
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 4: that from your own teammates when you already like you

650
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 4: already know, like we know we're not good, we're not

651
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 4: out of the playoffs, like we've won ten games, like

652
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 4: we've been struggling all year, We've had a lot of adversity,

653
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 4: like we know. So yeah, I'm sure that that's not

654
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 4: something that you want to hear in that moment.

655
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 3: But it's like she ain't.

656
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 4: Saying get everybody, get everybody up out of here. I

657
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 4: mean she did say like I might have to get

658
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 4: up out of here, which okay, Like, okay, I want

659
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 4: to get out of my current situation. I'm sure people

660
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 4: want to get out of their current situation, like it's

661
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 4: the reality, you exactly, And she could this team could

662
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 4: very well, like go through the off season and come

663
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 4: back and everyone's a little bit better, a year older,

664
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 4: a year wiser, go get their confidence back, playing in

665
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 4: other leagues, playing overseas, getting healthy, and then you could

666
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 4: have the same roster and have a different result.

667
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 3: But again, she can say what she wants guys.

668
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 4: Like, at the end of the day, the problem with

669
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 4: this guy is up here, it's above us, and it's

670
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 4: been that way, like it's been like that. There's a

671
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 4: few organizations where the problem is up here, Okay, Like

672
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 4: that is something that I've learned this year by being

673
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 4: more spec doing more spectating than playing. I've been watching

674
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:37,479
Speaker 4: like decisions transactions being made from people at the top,

675
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 4: and I'm.

676
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 3: Just like, what what is this? What is going on here?

677
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 4: Some of these players are being put in very very

678
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 4: poor situations that are it's hard to win. It's very

679
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 4: hard to win in this league. And I said that,

680
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 4: I said that on Gills once and then everyone was like.

681
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 3: Isn't it hard to win in every league? Yes?

682
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 4: It is, Yes, it is hard to win in every league,

683
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 4: especially a professional one. That you have to put the

684
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 4: Rubik's cube, the puzzle pieces whatever together, like you could

685
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 4: have all these beautiful, shiny, wonderful pieces, like this is

686
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 4: a beautiful piece. This is a beautiful piece, but if

687
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 4: it don't fit, it's gonna be ugly.

688
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 3: But the pieces beautiful gowns, beautiful gowns, you.

689
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 2: Know, beautiful gowns.

690
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 3: But if they don't fit together, it doesn't matter.

691
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 4: And like that's the art of being a GM and

692
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 4: running a team. And that's why you know, the Minnesota

693
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 4: Links when they had their like dynasty run, like that

694
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 4: was so special to watch. When it was the Links

695
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 4: and the and the Sparks in the finals all the time,

696
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 4: that was so fun to watch. What the Vegas has

697
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 4: been able to do with their organization what the Golden

698
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 4: State Valkyries have done immediately, Like just the basketball junkie

699
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 4: in me, like, I just love seeing when things are

700
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 4: put together the right way, but it also it's not

701
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 4: fun to watch things when they're not put together the

702
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 4: right way.

703
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 3: But you're like, dang, like I don't that's what you

704
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 3: shouldn't do.

705
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 4: Like I'm taking notes on what they got going on

706
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 4: over here.

707
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 3: So if I ever at the opportunity.

708
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 4: To do something like this, I don't know what to do,

709
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 4: what to not do?

710
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 3: Do you watch? This is random? Do you watch or

711
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 3: do you do you like Katsi the group the.

712
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 2: Group from the Gap commercial?

713
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

714
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 4: And do you like are you like in tune with

715
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 4: like any of like K pop things?

716
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 3: I'm not.

717
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: I know who they are, I get the lore, I

718
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: know like the backstory. I'm not like, oh, I can

719
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: like sing all the songs, but I understand what's going on, like.

720
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 4: I know BGS, I promise God is relevant to basketball. Okay,

721
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 4: So Katsi is a K pop adjacent girl group, right

722
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 4: that was created? And how K pop groups work? Is

723
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 4: I want to I don't know? It might be is

724
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 4: a Korea. I think it's in Korea where K pop's

725
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 4: from Korean. It's like like boy band, girl group, boot

726
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 4: camp military, like they do not play. So Catsie is

727
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 4: the newest group that they created. It's like their first

728
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 4: like global group that comes from this media group called

729
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 4: Hype I want to say So on Netflix. They have

730
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 4: a documentary about it about how they put the group together,

731
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 4: and it was like basically like they brought them to

732
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 4: this academy in LA and they're like, okay, like we're

733
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 4: just gonna like teach y'all like how to be pop

734
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 4: stars and give y'all all the tea and all the information.

735
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 4: And then like a year into it, they're like, JK,

736
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 4: this is a reality show and you're gonna be broadcasting

737
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 4: to the world and get voted off and that's how

738
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 4: we're gonna form the group. So they had them like training,

739
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 4: They like brought a bunch of gros No it's Mariah.

740
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 4: It's nuts, Like it is crazy, like these are like

741
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 4: twenty two and younger, like they're like fifteen to twenty

742
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 4: two year olds, and they like put them in this

743
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 4: house in LA and they're like training and then they

744
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 4: give them these things called missions and they got to

745
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 4: like do choreography and sing and dance, and it's like

746
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 4: this huge production and it's like so they can make

747
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 4: cats Eye essentially, Like that's what the end result was,

748
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 4: was the group Catside, but it started it's.

749
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 3: Called Dream Academy.

750
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 4: Yes, anyway, this is relevant to basketball because if I'm

751
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 4: a GM, I'm running my team like a K pop group.

752
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 3: So if y'all know.

753
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 4: Anything about K pop, like y'all need to dig, I've

754
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 4: got I've like gotten dragged deep into this K pop world.

755
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 1: I do know how they like when they're key, do

756
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: not start.

757
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 4: We need in the United States need to pull a

758
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 4: page out of that book and apply it to sports,

759
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 4: because I feel like they might do something similar to that,

760
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 4: like right now with like the tennis, golf, I'm sure

761
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 4: like if kids want to be in entertainment, like you

762
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 4: got to start at a really young age gymnastics, but

763
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 4: like these bigger sports like basketball, football, because of the

764
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 4: money now that you can make so early in college,

765
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 4: like you don't even have to be a professional athlete

766
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 4: to make generational money anymore.

767
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 3: Like that's amazing.

768
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 4: But I've been seeing clips everywhere about how they're talking

769
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 4: about like hey, it was destroying basketball and yeah, yeah,

770
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 4: like they're talking about how it's all ruining. I don't

771
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 4: even know what girls AU basketball looks like right now.

772
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 4: The last time I tapped in with it, I was like,

773
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,479
Speaker 4: what is going on here?

774
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,479
Speaker 3: So I want I.

775
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 4: Want K pop principles some of them because some of

776
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 4: the stuff that they do is a little bit wild

777
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 4: and it's.

778
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 3: Like very like but they don't care.

779
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 4: They're like, if you want this or you don't, like

780
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 4: you're gonna work hard, You're not gonna work hard, Like

781
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 4: these girls got put through hell. But now Catsy is

782
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 4: like one of the biggest Like the fact that the

783
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 4: group came out at first of all, I had no

784
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 4: idea that this was going on. It was like a lie,

785
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 4: like people like people were like live voting on this whatever.

786
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 3: So they like document the whole thing. So like seeing what.

787
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 4: Cat's Eye is now first and then them dropping the

788
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 4: documentary about it, You're like, damn, like this is crazy.

789
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 4: But they know what they're doing because this group came

790
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 4: out of nowhere and now they're everywhere like what they did.

791
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 3: Like when you're watching it, thing like you're like there's no.

792
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 4: Way, like this is like the end result of like

793
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 4: all this nonsense that they put these girls through, but

794
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,479
Speaker 4: like they knew exactly what they're doing, like that Cat's

795
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 4: Eye group is like they're like the perfect group. But

796
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 4: when you see how they all started, like they gave

797
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 4: them makeovers, they had them like, but you can see

798
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 4: like like they was like aligning them in certain ways,

799
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 4: like they kind of knew who they wanted in the group,

800
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 4: so they kind of like started finessing the system a

801
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 4: little bit to try and like get them closer and closer,

802
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 4: and then eventually they picked the six of them. But

803
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 4: I'm like, if I ever have a team or a

804
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 4: coach and a coach or anything, I'm running this shit

805
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 4: like a K pop group.

806
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 3: They don't play.

807
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 2: They work like gen Z were working like the people

808
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 2: back in the day.

809
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 3: Yes, back in the day. You gonna get what you earn,

810
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 3: and earn what you get.

811
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 4: Like they do not play. And like there was even

812
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 4: a girl on the group. I think her name is

813
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 4: Adele Adela or something like that. She was great singer,

814
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 4: beautiful girl, great dancer.

815
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 3: But they're like.

816
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 4: She's too she's too good at everything, she cannot be

817
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 4: in a group.

818
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 3: So she got voted off.

819
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 4: But now she they like gave her like a solo deal,

820
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 4: so like now she's doing like the solo thing. But

821
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 4: the guy who runs the k pop basically he was

822
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 4: just like everybody can't be the best at everything, Like

823
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 4: we can't have six girls who are exceptional singers and

824
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 4: exceptional dancers. It's not gonna work. You gonna have like

825
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 4: a lead singer, you're gonna have the lead dancer. You're

826
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 4: gonna have like there's like like Mariah, there's like so

827
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 4: much exactly. There's like so much lore behind k pop,

828
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 4: Like they have like names for like certain people, like

829
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 4: they have like you have the lead singer, you have

830
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 4: the lead dancer. Then you have like so they have

831
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 4: one one member who's like seventeen or eighteen, and like

832
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 4: they have like a name for that, the young one,

833
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 4: like just the little young, innocent one, like that's a role.

834
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 4: Then you have one that's like just the pretty one

835
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 4: who's like okay at everything, but she's gorgeous.

836
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 3: Like they have that, like they like they do not play.

837
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 4: But like they had this mega superstar and they're like,

838
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 4: uh uh, you're too good.

839
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 3: You gotta go.

840
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 4: Like they didn't break their bags trying to find five

841
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 4: members to fit her. They found six members that fit

842
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 4: each other, and I feel like that's how teams should

843
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 4: be ran and built just like that, Like, yes, everyone

844
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 4: is super talented in their own way, but do they work?

845
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 3: Does it work? Does it fit?

846
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,439
Speaker 4: That's why the whole super team thing is does we've

847
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 4: seen it.

848
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: Said building super teams, We're building K pop groups.

849
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 3: Y'all playing chess checkers.

850
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 4: I'm playing chess over here, okay, exactly rerunning it.

851
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 3: My team is gonna be ran like a K pop group.

852
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 4: But yes, you need to watch that if y'all are

853
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 4: interested in like K pop and just these girls like

854
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 4: work their asses off so like it is. It's really

855
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 4: sad when they start getting voted off because they're like kids,

856
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 4: but like, it's a very interesting thing to see and

857
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 4: if you can like watch it with kind of having

858
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 4: like sports and athletics and at the back of your mind,

859
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 4: it's like super interesting to watch and be like, what

860
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 4: if like sports were ran like this, Like what would

861
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 4: how would sports look like? Anyway, I think my final

862
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:17,919
Speaker 4: thought of the show is it's so interesting that it's

863
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 4: us in the sparks fighting for a lot. The last

864
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 4: spot I was gonna say earlier want to be messy.

865
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 4: I'm like, guys, all year long, I have just been

866
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 4: questioning this move from both parties, and I feel like

867
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 4: I just kind of got stuck in some crossfire of

868
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 4: people wanting to make changes in the careers. So whatever

869
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 4: shit happens. But the fact that like I'm not, not

870
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 4: only am I not playing, we as a team underachieved,

871
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 4: Like that's not shade we have. We're potentially could finish

872
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 4: the season right at five hundred or like rate above

873
00:43:56,120 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 4: five hundred. The Sparks may miss the playoffs again, like

874
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 4: these are nobody is. Nobody has won really in this situation,

875
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 4: Like I just just this whole year, like I don't

876
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 4: know this. This is not gonna get me in trouble

877
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 4: at this point because like what more can I don't play,

878
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 4: Like there's not really anything that can happen at this point.

879
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 4: Like I thought that maybe gearing up to playoffs, they

880
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 4: would like maybe throw me in as occasionally sometimes, but

881
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 4: like I haven't played in three straight games, and I

882
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 4: mean I want to play tomorrow because I've typically played

883
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 4: well against the Valkyries and the time that I was given,

884
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 4: But you know, I don't I don't foresee any dramatic

885
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 4: changes happening in a game that is like going to

886
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 4: define if we make the postseason for sure or not.

887
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 4: So I don't know, but I've just been thinking about

888
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 4: this a lot in the last few weeks of just

889
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 4: seeing the position that we are in and the Sparks

890
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 4: are in.

891
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:52,439
Speaker 3: I'm just like, what was the point at this point?

892
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 4: Like the Sparks could have just waved me and I

893
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 4: could have like figured it out, but instead I got

894
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 4: put into an odd situation where I'm not helping or

895
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 4: hurting the team right now in Seattle, and then the

896
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 4: Sparks are potentially gonna miss the playoffs again. So I'm like,

897
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:16,479
Speaker 4: what Sparks got nothing in return? Basically, the Stormy didn't

898
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 4: get nothing from me because I don't I played. I've

899
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 4: only played in twenty four of the forty four games

900
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 4: this year.

901
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 3: So wow, I'm like.

902
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 4: Long term cool, Like my I feel like every few

903
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 4: years I have a season like this and it's like

904
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 4: just adding another year to my career because like my

905
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 4: body longevity. But you know, honestly, I'm shopping up this

906
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 4: season to like me getting like fully healthy and understanding

907
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 4: what my body canning can take throughout a season.

908
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 3: Dealing with my crones. That's the That's the one.

909
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 4: Positive thing I'll take out of this season is like,

910
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 4: I feel really good. I feel really healthy, I feel strong,

911
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 4: and I feel like I can like I'm mentally like

912
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 4: I'm mentally in a better place than I was last

913
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 4: season when I started. Even though last season I was playing,

914
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 4: I wasn't really playing well because mentally and physically, I

915
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 4: don't think I was ready to come back when I did.

916
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 4: This year though, I was very ready mentally and physically

917
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 4: to play. But I think there's a bigger purpose here.

918
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,720
Speaker 4: When it happens, I'll be like, great, this is why.

919
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 4: But right now currently I'm just kind of like this

920
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 4: tray doesn't make any sense to anybody me the storm Row,

921
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 4: the Sparks, So I'm just like.

922
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 3: Whatever, whatever.

923
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 4: But the fact that we could be the team that

924
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 4: knocks them out of the playoffs run kind of makeshy No.

925
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: You need that that needs need that need that that

926
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: has happen.

927
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 4: Even though I love my girls that are on the

928
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 4: Sparks still like they know I love them, especially the Erica,

929
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,280
Speaker 4: like that's my girl for life. But I'm like, y'all gotta,

930
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,439
Speaker 4: y'all gotta sit this one out please.

931
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 3: Any of them would feel the exact same way.

932
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I just thought that was just something that

933
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 4: was on my min like earlier today, and I.

934
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 3: Was just like, I can't.

935
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,040
