9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: We already found out that we're gonna have a major

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: disagreement coming up on the show today. I hope it

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: doesn't affect our friendship and our partnership are on the air.

12
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't get that bad, but it's it's

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: clear we're definitely on different sides on one very significant

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: sports issue.

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm about to take my earrings off. That's how

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: serious this is gonna get.

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we'll hold off on that. By the way,

18
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: when we talk about you know how they talk about

19
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: baseball announcers that have a no hitter going, Yes, and

20
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: you don't want to Jinx literally.

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: Just talked about this with Kerry Rhoads yesterday, Right, don't

22
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 3: jinx it.

23
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: So the idea of jinxing with something, you say, the

24
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: old proverbial kiss of death. Right, Yes, So, as I

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: was coming in today here Fox Sports Radio. We are

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: aired on five point seventy in Los Angeles, which happens

27
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: to be the longtime home of the Los Angeles Dodgers

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: and Dodgers on the road against Detroit today. So obviously

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: the Dodger game was on instead of Fox Sports Radio.

30
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: But we're coming to the end of the game, and

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: as I'm driving in and you know I like to

32
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: get here early anyways, Yes, I'm listening to the Dodger

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: broadcast and as they go to the ninth inning, Dodgers

34
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: leading nine to four going into the bottom of the

35
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: ninth inning against you know, a sub part Detroit Tiger's team.

36
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: Tim Neverett, who does the radio play by play, works

37
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: with one of my all time favorite announcers, the great

38
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: Rick Monday. Tim Neverett comes on and gives out this

39
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: stat Oh no, he says, the Dodgers not only have

40
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: the best bullpen road er in Major League Baseball, it's

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: not even close. And then Rick Monday chimes in. He goes,

42
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: it was like sub three to two points something right,

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: and Rick chimes in. He goes, yeah, the league average

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: is like four. And I'm thinking to myself as they're

45
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: saying this, Okay, you probably feel safe saying this going

46
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: against a team like the Tigers, right.

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 3: That's that's the wrong feeling.

48
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: So bringing bullpen guy. Three batters later, it's a nine

49
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: to six game, and now you bring Evan Phillips. It

50
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: gets the first two outs, Okay, they're fine. Gives up

51
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: a base hit. Now it's nine to seven. Yeah, first

52
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: pitch to a rookie, has the ball landed yet, I

53
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: don't watch that thing was bombed out of America. And

54
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: we go to extra inning. Dodgers have the bases loaded

55
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: with one out in the top of the tenth and

56
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman hits into a double play, and then in

57
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: the bottom of the tenth walk off. Oh yeah, so

58
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm doing the math on this. So he gave the

59
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: stat that Dodgers have the best road bullpen era in

60
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. In the time I was listening, which

61
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: was an inning and a third, the bullpen gave up

62
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: seven earned runs. So my guess that number one up

63
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: significantly after that. That's what we call kiss of death.

64
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: It's one of those unwritten rules of sports which we

65
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: talked about.

66
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: Don't say that.

67
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: It's like when somebody is on a free throw streak. Oh,

68
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: Steph Curry has made ninety seven free throws in a row.

69
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: Don't say that. Why don't you wait until he makes it?

70
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 4: Thank you?

71
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: Can you say it?

72
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I was What I was thinking is

73
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: if the Dodgers closed that game out in the bottom

74
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: of the ninth, then the game's over. And then you say,

75
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: by the way, the guy there's bullpen show that their

76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: master on the road once again, they had the number one.

77
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: You don't do that going into the bottom of the

78
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: ninth inning, do not.

79
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: I don't understand that. The same thing with like a

80
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: no hitter. It's like, don't mention it. Just wait.

81
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: You can still say this, just wait until after the fact.

82
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: I don't understand this. And it happens all the time.

83
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: You hear it all the time in all sports. They

84
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: haven't missed a field goal in seven games.

85
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: He just waited ninety five consecutive extra port right, like,

86
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: we wait until after yes, after he makes it, then

87
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: you say, by the way, that's sudden that I could not.

88
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: Agree with you more on this one.

89
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: It was I was literally thinking that as he said it,

90
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: like okay, he should be fine. It's the Tiger, the Tigers,

91
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not gonna unbelievable. So it happened to

92
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. They go down to the Tigers today. That's okay.

93
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: They have a healthy lead in the National League West.

94
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: We're getting ready for the All Star Game obviously next week.

95
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: And as I term it the some Star League or

96
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: some Star Game, he can't say they're all Stars when

97
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: literally we're getting just a bevy of replacements here. But

98
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: the big story going into this All Star Game is

99
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: Paul Skins. So I look this up because I wanted

100
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: to make sure I was right on this. I knew

101
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: that Paul Skins, I believe, is the fifth rookie to

102
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,119
Speaker 1: start the All Star Game, but I was thinking about

103
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: how many career major league starts before starting an All

104
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: Star Game, and he has started eleven games, And the

105
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: name in the back of my mind, and if you're

106
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: older enough to remember, the summer of nineteen seventy six,

107
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: Mark the Bird Fedrich was this phenom in Major League baseball,

108
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: pitching for the Detroit Tigers. He pitched two games in

109
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: relief and then they put him in the starting rotation

110
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: and he had eleven starts. He was nine and two.

111
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: Here's the difference in those eleven starts in which he

112
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: was nine and two. You know, Skeens is six and

113
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: oh in eleven starts. Yeah, Fidrich had ten complete games.

114
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: Ooh.

115
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: In fact, Mark the bird Fitrich had thirty one complete

116
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: games in this first forty major league starts.

117
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: Well, ex squeeze me, which.

118
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: Is why his arm fell off and he was done

119
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: after his second year. Very different game. I mean, we

120
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: just saw Paul Skeins have a seven and eight no

121
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: hitter and had not thrown a hundred pitches and they

122
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: pulled them out of the game.

123
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the manager was like, it was a gut feeling.

124
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 3: It was I felt it.

125
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 2: It wasn't even that he couldn't he said, it wasn't analytics.

126
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 3: He said, it was a feeling.

127
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: Well, you saw and I saw Clayton kershe I get

128
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: pulled after seven eighths of a perfect game. Yeah, with

129
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: well under one hundred pitches's and he had no complaints.

130
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: By the way, it.

131
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: Really, I think is one of the most frustrating things

132
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 2: watching that, and I think all sports fans, all baseball

133
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: fans were frustrated when Paul Skeens didn't come back into

134
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 2: the game.

135
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: It's a nonbelievable story though. I mean, Skeens obviously is

136
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: e are is sub two. It's a one point nine

137
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: to zero right now. He is completely dominant and yet

138
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: makes significantly less money than his girlfriend would be done.

139
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's not even close. I bet she's supporting

140
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: him right now.

141
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: I mean she might be, she might be been. I

142
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: don't think I don't think they're worried about that.

143
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be making his money sooner

144
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: rather than later, because he really is right now the

145
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: face of baseball. He is the face of baseball. And

146
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: it works because he's a pirate. He's loved by everybody.

147
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: He gets standing ovations wherever he goes. If he was

148
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: a Yankee, a Dodger, he would not be welcomed with

149
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: open arms. The way he is everywhere he goes. It

150
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: is quite awesome. But he is the face of baseball.

151
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: Well, he's going to be the face of this All

152
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: Star Game. And it's a brilliant move to start him

153
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: in this All Star Game because again, as I said,

154
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: it's the sums some stars you have, especially with pitchers.

155
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, pitchers are finding ways to not pitch in

156
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: this All Star Game, and the lineups are littered with

157
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: a lot of players that may have a couple of

158
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: hot months to start a season, and they're anointed as

159
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: All Stars when they really aren't stars yet they're you know,

160
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: maybe stars, Yeah, maybe stars.

161
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: It's all stars.

162
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean it's happened many, many times where you'll

163
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: look on Baseball Reference and you'll see a name that

164
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: you've never heard of and they're listed as an All

165
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: Star and you're like, you're like an All Star? What

166
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: did this happen? And you're like, yeah, there was like

167
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: the third string catcher for the American League in nineteen

168
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: ninety nine, and you're like, I have never heard of

169
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: this person.

170
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, we're going to see more of

171
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 2: that every year, more and more until we wrap up

172
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: the All Star Game, right until it's not a thing anymore.

173
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm going to give you a who's

174
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: your daddy answered to a question you probably don't have today,

175
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give myself a question.

176
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 3: You're gonna give yourself a question.

177
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: Who is the only player to win the Most Valuable

178
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: Player award that was never named an All Star in

179
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: their career. Actually, it's someone that you know the name. Oh,

180
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: I do know that, you do you know the name.

181
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: But this was never named an All Star.

182
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: He played seventeen years of Major League baseball, he won

183
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: an MVP Award and was never once selected to the

184
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: All Star team. And it's a name that you would know. Well,

185
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: it's it's the fact, the fact his name is Kirk Gibson.

186
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: What Kirk Gibson, who of course was MVP for the

187
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: Dodgers in nineteen eighty eight before It's heroics with that

188
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: incredible home run in the eighty eight World Series. Not

189
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: once in his career with the Tigers, Dodgers anywhere was

190
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: he ever named to the All Star team. He's the

191
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: only player to win an MVP award and never once

192
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: name to an All Star team. O.

193
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: Wow, who's your daddy? Came early today.

194
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: I just had to asked that for myself. I love

195
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: that question.

196
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: I did not know that. That is actually quite interesting.

197
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: Who dropped?

198
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, obviously he was a star

199
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: in Detroit, yeh before a game of the Dodgers and

200
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: during that eighty eight season, he was not named to

201
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: the All Star team.

202
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 3: Wow.

203
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: But that's the problem again. It's a first half award, right.

204
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: It is a first half award, So I put.

205
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: A lot more way than that MVP award. All right,

206
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: coming up on the other side, all right, we're going

207
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: to get into this.

208
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: Are we going to get into it?

209
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a disagreement on who should be recognized

210

Speaker 1: tire Rag dot com studios. So you you were mentioning

234
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: during the break that someone you know was listening with

235
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: my yes little shits your daddy question about prit Gibson.

236
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, shout out to Lisa who's listening to us.

237
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: I assume maybe on.

238
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: Five seventy, Yes, the game's over, along over that disaster

239
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers to day.

240
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: Yes, she works with me at the Dodgers, and she's like,

241
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 2: I knew that answer.

242
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: Really yeah, I like that. Well, again, the question was

243
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: that I gave myself who was the only player to

244
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: win an MVP Award who was never once named to

245
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: an All Star team? And the answer is Kurt Gibson.

246
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: That's it.

247
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: Now.

248
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 3: At that time, were the rosters a lot Well here's

249
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 3: the difference.

250
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't so much that there were maybe twenty

251
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: five man rosters as supposed to thirty two. But the

252
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: difference now is is that half the team is replaced.

253
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: In those days, you may have had one player that

254
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: had a legitimate injury be replaced. Now every excuse to

255
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: get out of the All Star Game, especially with pitchers,

256
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: so you end up with forty or fifty players each

257
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: league suddenly get designated. Same thing with the Pro Bowl.

258
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: That's that's why again, when I'm looking at career achievements,

259
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, and gaging let's say, for Hall of Fame candidacy,

260
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: the last thing I'm looking at is also the Star. Yeah,

261
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: because it's a popularity contest first and foremost, if it's

262
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: a fan vote. And like in the NFL, they give

263
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks in each conference Pro Bowl designation, and yet

264
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: each conference only designates three total offensive tackles. Well, shouldn't

265
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: it be like six? I mean, if you're going to

266
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: go thirdeen quarterback, why you don't even do full two teams? Again,

267
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: look at the postseason honors, yes, you know, look at

268
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: you know all league teams or even mid league Baseball

269
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: now has an all league team, MVP awards, stuff like that.

270
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: I think is a better gauge if their entire a season.

271
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: All right, Well, speaking of awards, one of the most

272
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: competitive awards in sports this year is going to be

273
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: the w NBA Rookie of the Year. And you have

274
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: to remind yourself again. Obviously, Caitlin Clark was the first

275
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. Angel Reese was the seventh pick

276
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: in the draft. The women from two to six are

277
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: not in the conversation. These two rookies have not only

278
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: earned their spot on the All Star team, they have

279
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: ignited this league as this league has never seen before.

280
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: And yes, Caitlin Clark gets a lot of attention and

281
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: she deserves it. But Angel Reese, in.

282
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 3: My opinion, also gets a lot of attention.

283
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: She gets a lot of attention. A lot of people

284
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: said initially, and I was one of those that said,

285
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: she's just wrapping her hands, you know, arms around the

286
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: legs of Caitlyn Clark in order to get attention. So

287
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: I had to do a little digging here to really

288
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: evaluate what Angel Reese has done her rookie season. Angel

289
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: Reese is the rookie of the Year. I'm going to

290
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: give you two stats. First of all, each one of

291
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: these players, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese is currently leading

292
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: the WNBA in one statistical category. Angel Reese is leading

293
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: the WNBA in rebounding eleven point eight rebounds a game.

294
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: Kaitlin Clark is leading the league in turnovers five point

295
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: five per game, and no one's even close to that number.

296
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: But here's the other number. So we hear this war

297
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: stat in baseball all the time, wins above replacement. In

298
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: other words, how many wins is this player responsible for

299
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: if replaced by a regular player. And so this is

300
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: a gauge where we see a Shohei o Tani or

301
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: Mike Trout back in the day, they get these big

302
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: war numbers that separates them from the pack. So each

303
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: of these players is played twenty four games. Angel Reese's

304
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: win share, which is the equivalent of war again, wins

305
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: that this player is responsible for, is at two point six.

306
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark is at one point one. It's not even close.

307
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: Angel Reese is the WNBA Rookie of the year.

308
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 3: Man, you're tripping, you are trip in, Steve Hartman.

309
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: First of all, if you pick one or the other,

310
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 2: everyone says you hate the one you didn't pick.

311
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 3: And that's not what this is at all.

312
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: I think they are actually both really fun to watch

313
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: for various different reasons. I was watching the Chicago Sky

314
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: game today against the New York Liberty because I wanted

315
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: to see if Angel Reese was gonna.

316
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: Get another double double. I was all about that. I

317
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: was all about her. People were like, oh, she's stat

318
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 3: patting that other game. I said, I.

319
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: Would have done the same thing. I would have tried

320
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: to keep my street going. I like Angel Reese, but

321
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: what you just said to me are numbers.

322
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 3: And I know you're a numbers guy, but just watch

323
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: the game.

324
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: And I think that Angel Reese has been very good,

325
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: but she also has kind of stayed the same in

326
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: the first twenty four games. I think Caitlin Clark has

327
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: gotten better as the games have progressed from Game one

328
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: to now game whatever twenty four that you just said,

329
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: obviously I can throw at you.

330
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: The first rookie with the triple double.

331
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: She also has five games in a row now with

332
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: her own double double with assists.

333
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 3: She is doing it all.

334
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 2: I cannot not point out that Angel Reese is three

335
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: of thirteen from today's game, and it's not her only

336
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: game where she's three of thirteen, three of fourteen and

337
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: she's taking interior shots. She needs to get a little

338
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: bit better at that. She needs to get a little

339
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: bit more grounded with her feet, and I saw that today.

340
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 2: I see that a lot in her games. I like injuries.

341
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: I think she's super fun, but I think that Caitlin

342
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: Clark is the more well rounded player.

343
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: And you see it with your eyes. I don't need

344
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 3: you to throw numbers at me. The Fever do not.

345
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: Sometimes I don't know what the coach is doing. Sometimes

346
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: the Fever coach, I feel like they're not running the

347
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: right place. But her and Aliah Boston are gonna be

348
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: a very dominant one two punch that we have already seen.

349
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: The progression from Game one to Game twenty four. I

350
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: to me, there's there was a point where it was like, oh,

351
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: maybe Ajuries can be the rookie of the year.

352
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 3: I think Caitlyn has pulled away a little further.

353
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 2: If you would have talked to me two weeks ago,

354
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 2: I would have been like, it's a little closer. I

355
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: think Caitlyn has pulled away. Now at the end of

356
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: the year, can I be saying something different. We'll see

357
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: how the later half of the season goes with Angel

358
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 2: Reese because what she is doing is pretty incredible. She

359
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: broke Kansas Parker's record. I saw today that the Rookie

360
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: of the Year every year has had at least fifteen

361
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: double doubles. She's already at sixteen and we have a whole,

362
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 2: you know, half of a season to go. So she

363
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: is on a trajectory where she could make an argument

364
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: for Rookie of the Year. But what you just threw

365
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 2: at me were numbers. I'm talking about the eye test.

366
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: All right. Again, I'll preface by saying, this is no

367
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: hate on Katelin.

368
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 2: And this is no hate on Angel Reese, because that's

369
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 2: what I hate about the discussion. If you don't pick one,

370
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: then you're supposedly a hater of the other one.

371
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: That's not what this is. They're both so great.

372
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: Okay. The most overrated stat in basketball, by far is

373
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: a cyst because we don't even know how to actually

374
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,959
Speaker 1: gauge and assist. I remember John Stockton, who's the all

375
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: time leader, insists with the NBA, the running joke was

376
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: he was handed five assists when he walked into the building.

377
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: So back in the day, he played almost his entire

378
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: career with the mailman Carl Malone. So Carl Malone is

379
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: posting up, Stockton throws the ball into Malone and he

380
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: turns around and hits a jump shot, and you get

381
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: stocked in an assist, And it's like, how is that

382
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: an assist? I mean, if you were to And again,

383
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: this is not a knock on the fact that obviously

384
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: very different players. Angel Reese is a six ' to

385
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: three big obviously, and Caitlin Clark is a guard, and

386
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: so Reese's job is to get boards and she's doing

387
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: it better than any player in the WNBA, leading the

388
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: WNBA in rebounding just under twelve a game. And the

389
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: idea of Kaitln Clark is she's you know, by the way,

390
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: Kayln Clark finally has gotten her field goal percentage over

391
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: forty percent for the year. She's shooting the ball much

392
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: better recently. And I sort of my excuse for Caitlin

393
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: Clark struggling with her shot early on is they had

394
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: to be sort of a fatigue factor, almost going directly

395
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: from her college season, which obviously went all the way

396
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: to the championship game, right into the start of the

397
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: WNBA season. So she is getting her shot back. That's

398
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: good news. There. But when you compare rebounds versus assist

399
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 1: in my opinion, rebounds have a far greater legitimacy than

400
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: assists to and so that's another reason why I give

401
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: the edge. But this wind share staff because when you

402
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: look at the records of the Sky and the Fever,

403
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: it's almost identical. I mean, these two teams basically have

404
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: the same right I think, one's ten and fourteen, one's

405
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: nine and fourteen, you know, in the lower half obviously

406
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: of the WNBA. But that win share tells you that

407
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: right now, it's not even close that Angel Revees is

408
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: having a greater impact on the success of her team

409
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: than Caitlyn Clark is having on the success of her team.

410
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, but right now, the Fever have the better record

411
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 3: half a game.

412
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: Hey, but if we're gonna do numbers, and let's you

413
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 2: know there right now, are are I think in the

414
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 2: seventh position.

415
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: Right further, they're ten and four Tamblay in the Sky.

416
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, the Fever are seven in the league and

417
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 2: the Chicago Sky are eighth in the league. Right now,

418
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: what you were just mentioning about assists, I actually hear

419
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: what you're saying, and it makes perfect sense. What you

420
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 2: just the example, toss it into you know, a big

421
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: dude like you just mentioned John Stockton. He gets the

422
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 2: points in and Stockton would get the assists, except Caitlyn

423
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: Clark's passes are ridiculous. She is not just passing it

424
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: to a Leah Boston. She is doing that, but that's

425
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 2: not all she's doing. And then we can go to

426
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: the turnovers. If you watch some of the turnovers that

427
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: are counted against her, she throws the perfect pass and

428
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 2: her player mishandles it and loses the ball and the

429
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: turnover goes to Kayln Clark. Kaitlyn Clark's vision of the

430
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 2: court is incredible, and in her rookie year, to see that,

431
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, I can't imagine what it's.

432
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 3: Going to be in three years.

433
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: Her passes, the way she looks ahead, the way she

434
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 2: looks at her teammates around like she could probably score more,

435
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 2: but instead she is looking around to make the best play.

436
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 2: She is the better all around player right now. She

437
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: is the rookie of the year.

438
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: She may be a better player, but like I said,

439
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: Angel Reese has had a greater impact on her team.

440
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: And again, you could if we're just talking about putting

441
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: Butts in seats, then there is no second place to

442
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark in the entire WNBA. I mean, if you

443
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: really were to sit down and say who's the most

444
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: valuable player in the WNBA, every single vote should go

445
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: to Caitlin Clark. Who's more valuable to the WNBA than

446
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark in the league's history. Yeah, so how do

447
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: you gauge most valuable player who has the best stats?

448
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: I mean, again, this is the argument when you talk

449
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: about impact is a rookie. I'm not arguing the fact

450
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: that Caitlin Clark has had the greatest impact of any

451
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: forget rookie, any player in the history of this league

452
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: by leap years. But if you go statistically, if you

453
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: really break down what they're doing on the court, Angel

454
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: Reese is having a better year than kit Leclark.

455
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 3: I don't agree.

456
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll agree to disagree. There's one way to figure

457
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: this out, right, shall we bring on right now? Find

458
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: out what's trending?

459
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 4: Here?

460
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: Is Martin's here?

461
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 7: Well, the WNBA record that Angel Reese currently has the

462
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 7: double double streak for most consecutive doubles in a row, ended.

463
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: Today at fifteen.

464
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 7: Side note Kaitlin Clark is on pace to break the

465
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 7: all time turnover record before the All Star break.

466
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: Yes exactly. She will actually have more turnovers than half

467
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: the season in half a season than any player in

468
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: wa Heads series had in a full season.

469
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 2: Yain, tell me, you don't watch the games, that's what

470
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 2: you're saying this her passes. A lot of the turnovers

471
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 2: that are against her are because her teammates don't handle

472
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 2: her passes well and the turnover goes to her.

473
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: All right, again, if Martin, if you had a vote

474
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: for w NBA Rookie of the Year, who would get

475
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: your vote?

476
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 7: It would be Angel Reese. Wow, it'd be Angel Rees.

477
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 7: I mean, and I hear what you're saying. But this

478
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 7: guy actually went down on Twitter and broke down everyone

479
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 7: of Caitlin Clark's turnovers.

480
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: I don't have it currently and.

481
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 7: It's not like it was like two days ago, so

482
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 7: I'm not sure if they played between now and then.

483
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 7: But he said that of the turnovers that she has,

484
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 7: about three per game are just people taking the ball

485
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 7: from her from on her dribble, which if you watch

486
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 7: the games, the high test shows that she will dribble

487
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 7: the ball for foot. She'll get the ball stolen from her,

488
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 7: So I have the tidiest hand though. Yeah, just just

489
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 7: thinking it's like the one thing everybody ignores and then

490
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:51,959
Speaker 7: I'm not ignoring it.

491
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 2: I could also say Angel Reese today missed layups, miss

492
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: shots right under the basket, like they're rookies.

493
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 3: They're rookies, and these are miss stakes that they're going to.

494
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: Majela should definitely be shooting better than forty one percent player.

495
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 2: They're both going through growing pains, of course, but to

496
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 2: say that it's like Angel Reeves has it because why

497
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 2: because of the consecutive double doubles, Just because of.

498
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: That, well, she leads, she leads the NBA the WNBA.

499
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 7: Rather to say in a positive category, I'd say that

500
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 7: read the rest of her team is that they are.

501
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 7: I think there are other WNBA starters on the Fever.

502
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 7: I don't know, both outside of maybe Malina Maybury. I mean,

503
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 7: Kennedy Carter's been in and out of the league and

504
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 7: she is one of the prime like shot takers on

505
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 7: the Chicago Skuy Like, I don't the Chicago s guy

506
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 7: to me, seems to be a much worse team. In

507
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 7: mind you, they did have two picks in the top

508
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 7: ten this year for.

509
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: The feverite back to back number one picks. That's how

510
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 2: bad they've been.

511
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: I feel you. Hey, I go, Angel Reaes, there you go.

512
00:25:58,800 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: That's my take.

513
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 7: You know, I've never seen people care more about five

514
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 7: and five games than they have.

515
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: Kena Clark twenty points, five points. Okay, what does that mean?

516
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: Awesome on the Tuesday in the rain. All right, we'll

517
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: see where they are at the end of the year.

518
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 7: The Liberty beat this guy eighty one to sixty seven.

519
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 7: Sabrina ies you let all scores with twenty eight points.

520
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 7: Angel Reese quadruple teams down the stretch to make sure

521
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 7: she didn't continue her consecutive double double streak that ends

522
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 7: at fifteen. That's a record held by former WWBA player

523
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 7: Campus Parker. Those Sparks beat the Wings eighty seven eighty one.

524
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 7: Dierica Hanby had twenty seven points and Wimbledon Bora Bora

525
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 7: creat Chicoba.

526
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: Let's get that name again because I don't want to

527
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: mention this.

00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: that's all you wanted. Just the name again. I just

00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: want the name because I'm gonna mention after all right, Well,

533
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: it's a tough one. I was the Czech Republic.

534
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 7: She beat Italy, Jasmine Paulini and Lady Singles six two

535
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 7: two six six ' four. Djokovic and al Karaz will

536
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,719
Speaker 7: be in the men's final tomorrow. Baseball games in progress

537
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 7: right now, we're just wrapped up the Kansas City Royals.

538
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

539
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 7: The Boston Red Sox beat the Kansas City Royals five

540
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 7: to nothing. The Brewers have a five to four lead

541
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 7: over the Nationals. Philadelphia with a seven to four lead

542
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,840

Speaker 7: started at a four run lead in the first inning,

544
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 7: six to one. Now in the ninth, Cincinnati with a

545
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 7: ten to six lead over the Marlins raised. I'm sorry

549
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 7: one to one in the ninth inning. Denver's first round

550
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,040

Speaker 7: Todaj Gibson signed a one year, three point three million

553
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 7: dollar contract with the Hornet. And I don't know if

554
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 7: you guys smell that in the air, that's football. That's

555
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 7: that's what you smell. That's football. The rookies for the

556
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 7: Baltimore Ravens, they report to training camp today. The Ravens

557
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 7: are the first team in the NFL to start camp.

558
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 7: The rest of the veterans reporting on July twentieth, the

559
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 7: earliest day the veterans can report July seventeenth, when the

560
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 7: Texans who are playing in the Hall of Fame game,

561
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 7: they're expecting their entire roster to be there in July seventeenth.

562
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 7: Monci and Steve back to you guys.

563
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: All right, Martin, well, thank you very much, and by

564
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: the way, once again we are alive from the tai

565
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: Iraq dot Com studios here Fox Sports Saturday. He mentioned

566
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: kri Chikova winning Wimbledon, who she is. Very few people know.

567
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: She did win the French a few years ago, so

568
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: it's not her first Grand Slam title, although I think

569
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: people forgot that she had done that. One of the

570
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: problems is she has a name that Sunds strikingly familiar

571
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: to many other women's names in women's tennis. Here's the

572
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: reason I mentioned this. When it comes to professional sports

573
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: for women, the money that women tennis players make is

574
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: a thousand times more than any other sport. I mean,

575
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: it's like not even close. Remember in the Grand Slam tournaments,

576
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: men and women are paid equal. This great Chikova will

577
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: make the exact same amount of money. Then the winner

578
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: tomorrow between Djokovic at al Karaz they will get the

579
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: same amount of money you got. And remember women only

580
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: play two out of three sets and men have to

581
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: play three out of five. So actually it's not even

582
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: equal pay for equal play. Women play less and still

583
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: make the same amount of money. The point I wanted

584
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: to bring up is this, so since Serena won her

585
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: last Wimbledon in twenty sixteen, we've had seven different Wimbledon

586
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: first time champions on the women's side. Remember there was

587
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: no Wimbledon in twenty twenty because of COVID. Considering how

588
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: much money women make in tennis, it would just seem

589
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: to me that if you had a young athlete, female athlete,

590
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: that you would steer them to tennis, like Richard Williams

591
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: did with his two girls, because that's where the money is.

592
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: Venus and Serena became incredibly wealthy women because they went

593
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: into a sport that pays them. People were talking about

594
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark's rookie contract in the WNBA like it's an insult. Well, yeah,

595
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: because when you look at the men and they're making

596
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: fifty sixty million dollars a year, and you looked at WNBA,

597
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: it's not equal tennis. It's equal tennis is the same.

598
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: And yet on the women's side, with all the money

599
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: it's being paid, this is a sport desperately in need

600
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: of a face since the retirement of Serena Williams, desperately

601
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: Coco Goff. You know, she did win the US Open.

602
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: She's never even made it to the quarters at Wimbledon,

603
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: which is the marquee event in tennis. It just seems

604
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: amazing to me with all the money that is in

605
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: women's tennis by far the biggest payoff sport for women

606
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: in sports, that we haven't found that next star and

607
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: that they're going to other sports. Why if honest, I mean,

608
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: my daughter was an out great athlete. She got to

609
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: junior high school, she decided to go in a different direction.

610
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: That's fine. At one point I did have visions though,

611
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: because she was so dominant as a youth athlete. But seriously,

612
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: why why is it that women's tennis where there is

613
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: so much money being handed out that they can't produce

614
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: a star right now?

615
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: Does it have to do with it being expensive to

616
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: play in when you're a child like you got to

617
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: you know, if you play basketball, you don't have to

618
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 2: go buy a basketball.

619
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: Somebody. The team's gonna have a basketball.

620
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you need your sneakers or you need But I

621
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 2: wonder if it's just more expensive.

622
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 3: And that's why.

623
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: You saw with Richard Williams did in Compton with his

624
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: two daughters.

625
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but not every that. I feel like that's an

626
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 3: exception to the.

627
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: Rule because that but that isn't that the success Richard

628
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: Williams had with his daughters with Venus and Serena. If

629
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: you were going to go that route and you don't

630
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: have the money, wouldn't you use that as an example

631
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: of how to get it done?

632
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I know, I hear what you're saying.

633
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: But obviously there is also, like you just said, there

634
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: haven't been many faces of tennis, and so when you

635
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: think of even even on the men's side, I feel

636
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: like people don't really know tennis players.

637
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: Right.

638
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 3: But I'm growing up and.

639
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 2: It's like I'm watching my dad watch John Stockton, you know,

640
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: and it's like, I want to play like John Stockton.

641
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 2: I may not have been watching women play basketball, but

642
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 2: I was watching people play basketball. I was watching, you know,

643
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 2: my brothers play soccer. And so I think just tennis

644
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 2: has never had like a face.

645
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: Hold on hold really, though you had Billy Jean King,

646
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: you had Chris There's been a lot of major Tennis.

647
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 3: Is not It's not popular. It's just not popular the

648
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 3: way other sports are.

649
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: Well, it should be popular. Well if they must be

650
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: popular if they're paying the women that much money.

651
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: But it's obviously not here. It's not to say that

652
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 2: tennis Garners, the attention.

653
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: With William's sisters weren't big.

654
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 2: They were, but tennis itself has not been a big sport.

655
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: I mean, why is it then with the success that

656
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: the Williams sisters had and Serena Williams is the most

657
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: successful female athlete in any sport ever ever.

658
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think people know that now. I don't

659
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: think people knew that as it was happening.

660
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: They didn't.

661
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: I don't think so, because tennis is not that big

662
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: of a sport.

663
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: Now, maybe Serena wasn't big even if it didn't follow tennis.

664
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: You knew Serena.

665
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: Williams, right, but I didn't know what she was doing

666
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 2: at the time. I knew the name, but I didn't

667
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: know what she was doing.

668
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: Wow. So in other words, tennis was just like not

669
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: a part of your world.

670
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 3: Was not a part of my world.

671
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: Wow.

672
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I don't know why, but it wasn't.

673
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 2: And I played tennis now I think. I mean I

674
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: taught myself like now I go out and play tennis.

675
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 2: But definitely, growing up, tennis was not on my radar.

676
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,959
Speaker 3: I don't know why. I mean, latinosn't really playing tennis.

677
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: Maybe that's part again, Like I said, if you have

678
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: a young female athlete that has the athletic skills to

679
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: play any sport, yeah, no, I would steer them to tennis.

680
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 3: What you're saying.

681
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: Again, this completely anonymous woman that won the Wimbledon today

682
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: will get the same check as the winner tomorrow of

683
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: Djokovic and Alkarez even if they have a five said

684
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: five hour marathon, their winning paycheck will be identical to hers.

685
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 1: Good for her, Well, thank you Billy Jean King, Yes, yes,

719
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 2: All right, So this is the segment where we test

720
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: Steve Hartman's knowledge because he knows everything and it's quite annoying,

721
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 2: so we tried to stump him.

722
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna start things off well.

723
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: First of all, last week, you got me, I.

724
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 3: Did get you. I did get you.

725
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 2: But you know one is not good enough though, all right,

726
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 2: So let's start here. Who was the number one draft

727
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 2: pick in the NBA in twenty thirteen?

728
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 1: Wow? Okay, twenty thirteen, twenty thirteen. See, that's that's gonna

729
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: be tough. Let's see, was it a Cleveland Cavaliers bit

730
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: it was.

731
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 3: Fuck it, you're so annoying.

732
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: All right. Well, it's one of two people. One is

733
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: completely an honor this and one isn't. It was it Kyrie.

734
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't Kyrie. It was twenty twelve. It was Kyrie.

735
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: It was a guy's name is so obscure. I think

736
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: he went to UNLV. Do you remember this guy's name UNLV.

737
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: Remember I know the UNLV guy, but I can't even

738
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: remember his name anymore. It was Canadian if that helps, good, No,

739
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I mean I know, I know the name.

740
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: I know who it was. I know he was a

741
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: complete buzz if. It was a complete reach by Cleveland.

742
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: He went to UNLV O. For the life of me,

743
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: I cannot remember his name.

744
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 3: All of that is correct. He did go to UNLV.

745
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: What was the guy's name, Anthony Bennett? Anthony Bennett. That's right,

746
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was such a bizarre pick

747
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: at the time, and it lived down to expectation.

748
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 3: It really really did. All right, Patrick, I think's got

749
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 3: one for you.

750
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 1: You knew, I do. I got everything but the name

751
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: of it.

752
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 3: I know you're so annoying.

753
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 5: You're so annoying, all right, Steve, I got a baseball

754
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 5: one for you, who is the all time leader in

755
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 5: All Star Game played appearances and hits.

756
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: All time leader in hits and appearance and appearances in

757
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: the All Star Game?

758
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 3: Good one?

759
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: So plate appearances, yes, plate appearances and hits. It's and

760
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: either category is the same guy. Okay, Well, my first

761
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: instinct on the answer this and I might be jumping

762
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: the gun, but my first instinct on this one is

763
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: Willie Mays.

764
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,239

828
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: I already talking about the upcoming NFL season already. I know,

829
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: we did not have Adam Kaplan today was not able

830
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: to join us. He was attending a wedding, And I'm

831
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, so looking back on my history attending weddings,

832
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: you know that, like when you're in like your twenties thirties,

833
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: you're going to a lot of weddings because you have

834
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: friends that get married. I mean, that's the way it works.

835
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: And Adam is past thirty and he seems to have

836
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: like a wedding every month. Am I wrong? I mean

837
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't. He definitely seems to have a lot of

838
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: weddings that he goes to.

839
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 2: Just times are changing, you know. I think people are

840
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 2: getting married more than once. People are getting married later

841
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 2: in the life than they were, you know.

842
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 3: But you're right.

843
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 2: I feel like there was a time period where even

844
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 2: me growing up, I think I was told like, oh,

845
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 2: when you're in your late twenties thirties, you're gonna going

846
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: to a lot of weddings.

847
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: Do you remember that first friend of yours that got married,

848
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: Like you're like already, yes, I.

849
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 3: Mean they've been married now. Leah. I was her maid

850
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:17,920

853
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: How old was she about to?

854
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 2: She was, Oh, man, I gotta do math, and I'm

855
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 2: not very good at quick math.

856
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 3: Like you aren't giving me.

857
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:31,760
Speaker 1: Two early twenties.

858
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 3: No, maybe like late twenties, late twenties. Oh yeah, yeah.

859
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,400

Speaker 1: I actually married. Yes, she was really young, Yes, yeah,

861

Speaker 1: I mean she was twenty four.

862
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,360

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's young, right.

866
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,280

00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: Well I'm thinking of young now because my daughter's twenty

868

Speaker 1: guy walking I'm like, nah, that's not happening.

872
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,799

912
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 2: I mean she's always looked great, she's always looked but

913
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,840

Speaker 2: is almost too good looking.

915
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,160

Speaker 3: go ahead.

938
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: So he played in his second summer league game. I

939
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: have a question before I even get is there such

940
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: a thing as a G League summer league, Because if

941
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: there was a G League summer league, that's pretty much

942
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: where Bronnie James belongs right now. Bronnie James missed the

943
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: second game, remember that, because he had swelling of the knee,

944
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: so already it was just load management as a nineteen

945
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,919
Speaker 1: year old. Yes, this last game he missed all eight

946
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: three point shots he took. Again, I hate to harp

947
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: on this, but I get back to the idea that

948
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: the Lakers are. The Los Angeles Lakers now the second

949
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,280
Speaker 1: most championships of any organization in the history of the NBA.

950
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:51,280
Speaker 1: The idea is to win championships, the idea of becoming

951
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,399
Speaker 1: a sideshow organization, which is what is happening right now

952
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 1: with the Lakers with the hiring of JJ Reddick and

953
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: the drafting of Bronnie James to appease Lebron James. It's embarrassing.

954
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: Ronnie James has no business in the NBA. I'm sure

955
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: he's a great young man. I'm rooting for him, but

956
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: he is what he is. He was, at best a

957
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: decent high school player and nothing more than that. He

958
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: showed that at USC couldn't play at that level, and

959
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: he obviously can't play at this level. When you're watching

960
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: summer league basketball these ends, this is like pick up basketball.

961
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: It's not even real basketball. These are guys and by

962
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: the way, don't connect. Finally connected in the third game

963
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: and started dropping some shots. It shows you he obviously

964
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: does have a future with the Lakers in the NBA.

965
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: Ronnie James does not.

966
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 2: It is quite shocking to witness and live through right now,

967
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 2: the Lakers downfall, because.

968
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 3: That's what's happening. It is, and it's didn't I just

969
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 3: can't believe it.

970
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 2: You know, as a non Lakers fan, I know what

971
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 2: the Lake Aker's brand organization, what they have represented year

972
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 2: after year after year, and they've started really a downfall

973
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 2: that I think has just started maybe.

974
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 3: A few years ago, you know, with Lebron maybe but

975
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 3: you really just see it this year.

976
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 2: How there's no way you can tell me to my

977
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 2: face that you think this is a championship team when

978
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 2: all these other teams are actually getting better before our eyes.

979
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 2: You did not get better this offseason compared to other teams.

980
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 1: No, they still have it. Let me, let me give

981
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: you a trade proposal here. This was actullent that this

982
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: game I believe out of the athletic all right. So

983
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: really when I when when when they were talking about

984
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: picking up a Klay Thompson or DeMar DeRozan, I said

985
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: to myself, that's not really what they need. They need

986
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: a center. Anthony Davis is not a center.

987
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 3: Which is how they won twenty twenty exactly.

988
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: You had McGee, you had Dwight Howard, and Ad was

989
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: playing the four, he wasn't playing the five, and they

990
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: won a championship. As great as all round player he is,

991
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: and he's absolutely one of the ten best players in

992
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 1: this league on both ends of the court. Lourie market

993
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: so Luri marketing is citty in Utah right now. Memory

994
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: came in from Cleveland the Donovan Mitchell trade, and over

995
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: the last two years, this guy's averaging you know about

996
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: twenty four points a game over the last two years,

997
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 1: about eight rebounds a game. He's a seven footies legit center.

998
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: So here is the proposed trade that I saw in

999
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: the Athletic. You trade, but you have to give up something,

1000
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: you do. So the Hoods chavin that that number one

1001
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 1: pick they had of a year ago the Lakers, You're

1002
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: gonna have to give up Austin Reeves yep, and maybe

1003
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: another player and three future number ones. And when we

1004
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 1: say future, this is long after Lebron has gone like

1005
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: twenty nine, thirty thirty. Want something like that all for

1006
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: Lori marketing. Now, I don't know again if you Tah'd

1007
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: be interested in making this deal, but let's say they

1008
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: were willing to do a trade like that. I don't hesitate. Yeah,

1009
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: what the Lakers need? The problem for the Lakers, and

1010
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,720
Speaker 1: it showed up in these series against the Nuggets they're

1011
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: too small. They need a bigger team. If you added

1012
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: a Lori market into the alongside ad, that makes sense

1013
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: and giving up Boston Reeves. As much as I don't

1014
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: like to do that, it's a no brainer.

1015
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, But the Lakers haven't made sense, and right

1016
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 2: here you're making sense and their moves haven't made sense,

1017
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 2: and in all reality, I think what we've seen is

1018
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 2: that maybe players don't want to play with Lebron.

1019
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

1020
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 2: Maybe they don't want to play with the Lakers right

1021
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 2: now because Clay, You and I said it. It makes

1022
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 2: too much sense for Clay to go to the Lakers.

1023
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,919
Speaker 2: That's what you and I thought, and then I think

1024
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 2: his dad thought that too, and then all of a

1025
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 2: sudden it was like, Nope, I'm not going to go

1026
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 2: to the Lakers. There is something there, There is something

1027
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 2: going on, and players do not want to go there

1028
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 2: right now. The Laker brand is not enough in the

1029
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 2: moment for players to go there.

1030
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: I love when we had Michael on the show last

1031
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: Sunday Dead Yeah, and I mentioned him the reason that

1032
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,439
Speaker 1: Clay did not sign with the Lakers is that he's

1033
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 1: not worried about getting one more ring than Steph or Draymond.

1034
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: He wants one more ring than his own father, who

1035
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: has two as a Lakers player and three as a

1036
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: Lakers broadcaster, and if they win together, his father will

1037
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: always have one more ring. And Michael true, Michael Thompson said,

1038
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: it's very rare that you make sense with anything you

1039
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 1: ever say, but I think he got that one. Yeah, yeah,

1040
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: I know the Thompson family pretty well. I don't know

1041
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: what it is. But if the Lakers think they can

1042
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: just stand pat with his team and hope for a

1043
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: different result there in Dreamland.

1044
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 3: It's crazy, right.

1045
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 2: It seems like they're okay with it, which is what's crazy,

1046
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 2: Like I can't it seems like they are okay with

1047
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 2: going through the motions and getting people through the doors

1048
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,280
Speaker 2: to come watch lebron and Bronnie okay.

1049
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: And again, when we talk about the success of this

1050
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: organization financially, even though since the death of Doctor Bus,

1051
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: this team has had a losing record a losing record

1052
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: since his passing, they're worth a lot more money now

1053
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: than when they when he was living.

1054
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 2: And luckily for them, the fans are still going to games.

1055
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're also and the tickets are.

1056
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: Still more stars and that's the way the Lakers play.

1057
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 2: And that's and that's what's still going for them. And

1058
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,839
Speaker 2: it's just crazy that it seems like they're okay with.

1059
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: By and by the way, speaking of stars, show you

1060
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: Bronnie James. They're selling out games at the Summer League

1061
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 1: with him in the game.

1062
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 2: Of course people want to go see. They want to

1063
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 2: go see the side show. They want to go see

1064
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 2: whether he's going to be good or bad. They just

1065
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 2: want to go see with their own eyes.

1066
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: Again, I have zero against this kid. I think he

1067
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 1: is handling it beautifully. He's hanging out with the fans.

1068
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: They want to see him play, He's doing all. He

1069
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,320
Speaker 1: just doesn't have the game to play in the NBA.

1070
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: And then but it doesn't matter right now, and so

1071
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: fans are selling out games to see these summer league games.

1072
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 2: How And also like, how do you not look at

1073
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 2: Lebron and be like, you let your son put himself

1074
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 2: in this position?

1075
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 3: You let that happen.

1076
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you're is I take this from a

1077
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: dad's spot, right. Your son has a dream and I

1078
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: have the means, unlike anybody else, to actually make it happen.

1079
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 1: Nobody else, nobody else could have gotten this done. Nobody

1080
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 1: could have gotten that kid to be drafted in the

1081
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: NBA other than Lebron James.

1082
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,439
Speaker 2: But couldn't he have done this a year from now?

1083
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 2: I just feel like he put him in a position

1084
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 2: where he can't succeed.

1085
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: Now. His argument is going to be if he's going

1086
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: to develop as a player. He's going to get a

1087
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: lot better reps playing even G league basketball than he

1088
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: would if he stayed in college. That's probably what his

1089
00:53:58,120 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: thought was.

1090
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 3: But I thought he wasn't playing geligue.

1091
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 1: Well now, so he's gonna have well. Apparently Browny has

1092
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 1: now said he's good wherever they put him. Okay, I

1093
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: don't know if his agent, rich Baul is happy about that,

1094
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: but because he made it clear that he's going to

1095
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: be on the main roster anyway, we'll see how that

1096
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: plays out. By the way, I haven't given up on

1097
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: some NBA talk. In fact, this one is more personal

1098
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:26,359
Speaker 1: for you. I'll explain. This is Fox Sports Saturday, Steve Harvey,

1107
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: we've been following this story. I laugh now only because

1108
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 1: the former president apparently is safe. But wow, I mean,

1109
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 1: this is it's unbelievable. But went on this rally, So

1110
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 1: we don't have much information, and I guess they're trying

1111
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: to piece it together. But yeah, loud bangs. I like that.

1112
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: Loud bangs heard it.

1113
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 2: CNN has right now on the bank. Loud bangs hurt

1114
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 2: out rally.

1115
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: That would be gunshots. But anyway, we'll have an update

1116
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 1: on that obviously a little bit later on. All right, Well,

1117
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 1: if I'm going to talk about Lakers, you know, that

1118
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 1: was that's that's my own frustration, you know, and I

1119
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 1: gave you a possible trade. Maybe that honestly makes sense

1120
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: to me, I mean, because that's what they need to

1121
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: become legitimate. Yes, and it's a big and it's a

1122
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: quality big, and it's going to caut you. He's only

1123
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 1: twenty seven years old. By the way, he has an

1124
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: expiring contract. LORI markin at the end of the year,

1125
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: so you only make the deal obviously if you're going

1126
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: to sign him long term, and it's going to cost you.

1127
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: But again, it.

1128
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 3: Would be a good move.

1129
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: That would be a good move even if Lebron were

1130
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: to leave after next season, to you know, get around

1131
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: the bigs. All right, let's talk about your team, the Clippers.

1132
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 3: Paul je I said a lot of things.

1133
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: All right, am I getting this straight with Paul George.

1134
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: He said that he was upset because he had a

1135
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: Lebron situation where he had a player option on his

1136
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: deal that would have paid him. I believe it was

1137
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: forty eight million dollars sounds by right, So that's where

1138
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: his contract was. So he basically had a piece of

1139
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 1: paper that says, if you sign this, you will be

1140
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: paid forty eight million dollars next season. And he's like,

1141
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 1: that's an insult. So let's let's let's get real. He

1142
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: is saying that the initial offer by the Clippers to

1143
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: extend his deal was such an insult that that was it,

1144
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 1: That it was such an insult, that was it. Reports

1145
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 1: are that that offer was in the sixty million dollar

1146
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: year range. So let's just start right there. Does this

1147
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: in any way does this have a greater impact on

1148
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: your feeling about the organization or you're feeling about Paul George.

1149
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit of both.

1150
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 2: Obviously, the organization if it's true, right, because it was

1151
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 2: what sixty million two years, right, Okay, so I'm surprised.

1152
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 2: I'm surprised when I heard that number, that that was

1153
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 2: the original offer, because you've already put so much effort

1154
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 2: into getting him here that I'm surprised that that's how

1155
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 2: you felt, you know, after four years. But then at

1156
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 2: the same time, Paul George hadn't done anything, especially in

1157
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 2: the most recent playoffs for the Clippers, and Paul George

1158
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 2: has openly said that he didn't want to be the

1159
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 2: number one guy, that he didn't want to do all

1160
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 2: of the work up and down the floor.

1161
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 3: And so.

1162
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 2: I you're asking me after it's all been said and

1163
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 2: done and all this information has come out, right now,

1164
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 2: I have more of a bad taste in my mouth

1165
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 2: left from Paul George rather than from the Clippers organization.

1166
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 2: And obviously a big part of it is that second

1167
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 2: apron with the contract. That's a big part of this

1168
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 2: that I you know, we also have to consider. But

1169
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 2: we also know that, Okay, they gave you that first offer,

1170
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 2: but then they offered you exactly what you wanted, and

1171
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 2: then you wanted a no trade clause added, and you

1172
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 2: wanted so you wanted to be paid just the same

1173
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 2: as Kawhi when You've said you did not want to

1174
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 2: be a number one, knowing that Kawhi is number one, and.

1175
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 3: Then you were like, no, then I want more. It

1176
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 3: just seems like they weren't on the same page from

1177
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 3: the beginning.

1178
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: Well, ultimately, Paul George signed a four year deal with

1179
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: the Sixers. Yes, and there's no player option in this.

1180
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: This is four years and the numbers are forty nine,

1181
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: fifty one, fifty four, fifty six.

1182
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's going to be what age by that time?

1183
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I mean that's Philly's problem. But I mean,

1184
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: but the bottom line is is that if you're the Clippers,

1185
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: if you're Steve Bomber, I mean, you don't accumulate one

1186
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars in personal wealth unless you know something

1187
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: about money. And you're saying, well, I mean he could

1188
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: afford anything. Yeah, I mean, he could literally buy the

1189
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: entire league. But my thought is, all right, you've been

1190
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 1: here through this whole Kawhi Leonard situation. Honestly, we're no

1191
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: better off than we were before. Yes, they made one

1192
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: run to the Western Conference finals, which they had not

1193
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 1: done before, but that's as far as they got. How

1194
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: the last couple of years.

1195
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 3: Gone not good, not good, not fun.

1196
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: And Kawhi only has three years left on his deal,

1197
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: so I'm not I'm not going beyond that. In other words,

1198
00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: what they're basically we're saying to Paul George is you're

1199
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: comfortable with being number one. We're not comfortable with you

1200
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: being number one. So, in other words, we're not looking

1201
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: beyond Kawhi. Where all right, we'll build our team around

1202
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Paul George. And you basically said you didn't want to

1203
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 1: be that guy to begin with, right, So we're like, Okay,

1204
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 1: Kawhi has got three years left on his deal, We'll

1205
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: give you two. Maybe you get a player option on

1206
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: the third. Again, it was just the first offer. Maybe

1207
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: they would get to that point saying all right, we'll

1208
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 1: sink you up with the remainder of Kawai's contract, which

1209
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: is easy. Why were we going it? But then you

1210
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 1: have the hole back and forth between Kawhi and Paul George,

1211
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: and Kawhi doesn't talk a lot.

1212
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 3: He doesn't say anything. We don't know anything about.

1213
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: Coury, But basically he didn't seem to be sprised, surprised, upset,

1214
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: or anything about the fact that the guy that he

1215
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 1: mandated the Clippers trade for for him to sign with

1216
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: the Clippers, and he seems incredulous here right.

1217
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 2: It seems like something happened behind doors, or maybe Kawhi

1218
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 2: just realized, like, you know this, this didn't work out the.

1219
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 3: Way I thought, and I'm cool with that.

1220
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 2: Kawhi just seems like he's cool with whatever right now,

1221
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.

1222
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 3: But we don't know Kawhi. He doesn't say anything.

1223
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 2: And honestly, like, I don't blame the Clippers for not

1224
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 2: wanting to build around him beyond the three years.

1225
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 3: I don't blame him.

1226
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 2: And then at the same time, I don't blame Paul

1227
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 2: George for going to get money somewhere else.

1228
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: And then then we had Kawhi quitting or taking off

1229
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 1: the Olympic team, you know, well, and that was imprising.

1230
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 3: Are we surprised?

1231
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 1: Well, no, but it's pretty clear that this was not

1232
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 1: one hundred percent Kawhi's decision. No, Kawhi wanted to be

1233
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: on an Olympic team, some of the he's never been

1234
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 1: on before, amazingly enough, and this was a golden opportunity

1235
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: for Kawhi to finally maybe this one opportunity for to

1236
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: be part of this Clippers stepped in on this one.

1237
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: Clippers are like, all right, we don't have Paul George anymore,

1238
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 1: we have an older James Harden. Do we want to

1239
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: really risk our franchise player to have an extended summer

1240
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 1: playing competitive basketball in the Olympics as opposed to getting

1241
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: him rested and ready for our season.

1242
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one kind of upset me a little bit

1243
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 2: for Kawhi because I just kind of was like, he

1244
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 2: can't still be on the roster because it's his first

1245
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 2: time and not play many minutes and just you know,

1246
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 2: keep him whatever under a certain amount every game so

1247
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 2: that he can experience this.

1248
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:31,919
Speaker 3: I found that weird. Why completely remove him?

1249
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 2: Because is Derek White really going to be the difference maker?

1250
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 1: All right? Well, on the other side, I wanted to

Speaker 7: his rookie debut.

1325
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 1: In the NBA. This is a trick question, is it?

1326
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 1: I have multiple choice here if you'd like it. Well,

1327
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 1: because I think a former broadcast partner of mind always

1328
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 1: said it was him, Michael Thompson. But I don't believe

1329
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 1: it was Michael Thompson.

1330
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 7: Well, according to this book, Michael Thompson is not even

1331
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 7: in the answers yet, He's not part of the tense.

1332
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: Constantly professed that he had the most points in his

1333
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: NBA debut number one overall pick by the way, nineteen

1334
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 1: seventy eight. Let's see most points in the debut. I mean,

1335
01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: the obvious question answer would be Wilt Tyler. Guess. Well,

1336
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 1: the obvious answer is correct. There you go. Yeah, the

1337
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: champions forty three.

1338
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 7: In his first game with the Philadelphia Awards in October

1339
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 7: twenty fourth, nineteen fifty nine against the New York Knicks,

1340
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 7: had twenty eight rebounds as well.

1341
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, come on, no judtment period. There By

1342
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: the way, he wants. He holds the NBA record for

1343
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: most rebounds in the game, fifty five. Yep, that's insane,

1344
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 1: it's stupid. It didn't make sense.

1345
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 3: That does not makes sense.

1346
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: I know, fifty five rebounds you would've did. There were

1347
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 1: fifty five reounds. I guess all of world's stats forget

1348
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 1: thee hundred points fifty five rebounds. The most amazing stat

1349
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 1: was in the year that he averaged fifty points a game,

1350
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 1: the year he scored the one hundred points in the game.

1351
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 1: That season that was an eighty game schedule, not eighty two.

1352
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 1: He played every minute of every game in seventy nine

1353
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: of the eighty games. He averaged forty eight point five

1354
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: minutes per game. There's forty eight minutes in the game.

1355
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 1: He averaged forty eight point five minutes a game. He

1356
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: played every minute of every single game except one game

1357
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: during that season, and in his entire NBA career he

1358
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 1: never filed out of a game, not once. So no

1359
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 1: load management, then, no load management, I mean, I mean,

1360
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:16,679
Speaker 1: it's just a different all right, great stuff. As always, Martin,

1361

Speaker 1: appreciate that once again you are listening to us here

1362

Speaker 1: as Mark ready to go, we be ready to Roll

1363
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: joining us right now. By the way, we're live from

1364
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 1: the ti rack dot Com studios. Is our NBA insider,

1365
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio insider. The great Mark Medina is joining

1366
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:34,640
Speaker 1: us once again. Mark. It's great to catch up with you.

1367
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question right off the

1368
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 1: bat about this Derek White selection to replace Kawhi Leonard

1369
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 1: on the United States Olympic team as opposed to Jaylen Brown,

1370
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,759
Speaker 1: who was just of course crowned the NBA Finals MVP.

1371
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: Why do you believe they chose White over Jaylen Brown.

1372
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 1: It's not that he has anything against his teammate making it,

1373
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 1: but Jayalen Brown's like, hell, hell remember me? Why did

1374
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: they take that?

1375
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 6: Quite stave.

1376
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 9: It's a really good question because Joe Brown is the

1377
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 9: best player on the Celtics team and he won finals MVP.

1378
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 9: I don't think it has anything to do with Nike

1379
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:17,559
Speaker 9: or any shoot contracts, even though USA Basketball on Grant

1380
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 9: Hill will play the diplomatic round just say, hey, we're

1381
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 9: just trying to find the right fit. I think what

1382
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 9: it came down to is the continuity card of Derek

1383
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 9: White being on the Tokyo Olympic team that they're familiarity with.

1384
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 9: How he would fill a role and not have to

1385
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 9: worry about how much playing time he's going to get,

1386
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,759
Speaker 9: but be a factor. But I think at Jalen Brown's defense,

1387
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 9: we have this. Jalen Brown's obviously a heck of a player,

1388
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 9: number one, number two, He's improved as a playmaker, He's

1389
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:48,600
Speaker 9: not just a shooter, and he's a great defender. That

1390
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 9: was one of the reasons, many reasons why I want

1391
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 9: Finals MVP to begin with because of his defense on

1392
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 9: Luca Dacos. And I think the fourth thing, even though

1393
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:00,719
Speaker 9: obviously he's a competitor, would love to have a major

1394
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 9: role on the US Olympic team, I don't think he

1395
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 9: would be complaining if he stopped starting or playing consistent

1396
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:09,240
Speaker 9: minutes because all these guys know what they're signed up for.

1397
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 9: I think outside of Lebron James, Steph Curry, and Kevin Durant,

1398
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 9: assuming all are healthy, everyone's role is up in the air.

1399
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 9: But I think that's the reason why they show Derek

1400
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 9: White familiarity and I think more of a comfort level

1401
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 9: that he'd be able to fill different roles and not

1402
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 9: complain about it.

1403
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 3: Hi, Mark, thanks for joining US Monsea.

1404
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 9: Thanks for having me to the best who do you

1405
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 9: think is.

1406
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 3: Going to be the starting five for the US Olympic team.

1407
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 9: It is a good question. I think that off the bat,

1408
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 9: assuming Kevin Durant will be healthy, it'll be Durant, Steph Curry,

1409
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 9: Lebron James. I think Joel Embiid starts. I think Anthony

1410
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 9: Davis and bam Adebayo will wind up playing more minutes

1411
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 9: than Joel Embiid, but I think they'll want to start

1412
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:54,639
Speaker 9: out with Joel and b just to have that physical presence.

1413
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:57,680
Speaker 9: FIBA's game will have a lot of traditional big man,

1414
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 9: so I think it'll be him, and then I think

1415
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 9: I think it'll be True Holiday that also starts, because

1416
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,600
Speaker 9: he's a great two way player. He obviously can be

1417
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 9: the utility guy. I think Anthony Edwards would obviously like

1418
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:12,799
Speaker 9: to start, but I think there could be a value

1419
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 9: in having him come off the bets because he could

1420
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:19,320
Speaker 9: be the lead scorer of that second in a but lots,

1421
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 9: I'm giving you that answer. Steve Kurris caution that not

1422
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 9: only will that starting lineup change game to game in

1423
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 9: the exhibitions, I think there's a good chance to make

1424
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 9: change game the game in the actual Olympics, depending on

1425
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 9: matchups and performances.

1426
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 1: All right, So Mark, after his oh for eight three

1427
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 1: point shooting performance in his second Summer League game coming

1428
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,879
Speaker 1: off the swollen knee, nineteen year old already load management

1429
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 1: Bronnie James says he's okay with any assignment after summer. Look,

1430
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean, let's it is what it is. Ronnie James

1431
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:54,599
Speaker 1: has no business playing in the NBA right now, maybe

1432
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 1: five years from now, maybe never, We don't know. How

1433
01:11:58,320 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 1: do you think the Lakers are going to handle this?

1434
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: I mean, is is it possible that he'll start the

1435
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 1: season in the G League? Is it possible he'll spend

1436
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 1: the entire season in the G League and maybe make

1437
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 1: one token appearance so he can take the court with

1438
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 1: his dad. But if it's clear after the Summer League

1439
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: that Browny really doesn't have a really earned a spot

1440
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 1: on an NBA roster, how will the Lakers handle this?

1441
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,719
Speaker 9: Yeah? Well, I think that everything's obviously flu But assuming

1442
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 9: that his summer League debut in Vegas is what's going

1443
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 9: to be par for the course, he'll most likely spend

1444
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 9: his time most of the season in the G League.

1445
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 9: Now when will that start? I think that he plays

1446
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 9: as many Summer league games as he can, plays as

1447
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 9: many preseason games as he can, that's what he would

1448
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 9: get the most on court time with Lebron James, and

1449
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 9: then it's all about the G League team. I think

1450
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 9: what's interesting, Steve here is when I heard it, when

1451
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 9: others heard Rich Faull's comments that you know, he wasn't

1452
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:57,679
Speaker 9: going to accept a two way contract. There's people around

1453
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 9: the league that interpret that cop as something that they

1454
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 9: were just trying to solidify Brownie to have a guarantee

1455
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 9: contract as opposed to a two way deal. But he

1456
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 9: was not opposed to play in the G League. So

1457
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 9: you know, be outraged if you want with it or understand.

1458
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 9: You know, obviously there are some business mechanisms in play,

1459
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 9: but at least philosophically, a lot of people thought that

1460
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 9: Brownie would accept playing the G League if it came

1461
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 9: down to it, and I think that his words after

1462
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,560
Speaker 9: the game yesterday signified that he's going to accept that,

1463
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,639
Speaker 9: because that's most likely the most likely outcome.

1464
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 2: Last one for me here, Mark, are you surprised at

1465
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 2: zach Eaty's performance so far? He was such a polarizing pick.

1466
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 2: You know, some people didn't think he was going to

1467
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:46,719
Speaker 2: be able to adapt to the NBA.

1468
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:47,760
Speaker 3: Are you surprised?

1469
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, Then when I talked with people around the league

1470
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:55,519
Speaker 9: before the draft, I asked and that this very specific question,

1471
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 9: your outlook on whether his game can translate into the NBA,

1472
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 9: And a lot of people thought that, yes, it will

1473
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 9: translate enough for him to be a good backup big

1474
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 9: man that could play, you know, limited minutes. He could

1475
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 9: be a good defender, be a great passer. They did

1476
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:14,600
Speaker 9: have concerns on how well his conditioning would be and

1477
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 9: how well he would be able to run up and

1478
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 9: down the floor on a fast paced offense. So because

1479
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 9: of that, I was surprised that the Grizzlies actually select

1480
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 9: him at number nine. A lot of people I thought

1481
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 9: he would be a late first round pick, and one

1482
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 9: executive even said, you know, it's it wouldn't be good

1483
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 9: if he's playing with John Moran. But that's most likely

1484
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:34,680
Speaker 9: not who he's going to play with. He'll play with

1485
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 9: a team that's more about playing at a slower pace

1486
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 9: and trying to ensure ball movement. But yeah, I am

1487
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,839
Speaker 9: surprised in that respect. But look, I think zach Needi's

1488
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 9: shown that he can thrive in a role.

1489
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 4: But what that role?

1490
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 9: Look like will be very fluidous whether he's a backup

1491
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 9: big man or starter.

1492
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:54,600
Speaker 1: By the way, just getting back to Bronnie James for

1493
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 1: a moment on a positive note, I mean, he's like

1494
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 1: the Caitlin Clark of the Summer Leagues games. I mean,

1495
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 1: it's isn't an amazing really mark how this is all

1496
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 1: progressed with nil and you know, just social media. I mean,

1497
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:11,679
Speaker 1: Bronni's been very strong on social media for a number

1498
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 1: of years, even if he was maybe the fourth best

1499
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:16,720
Speaker 1: player on his Sierra Canyon High school team. Because of

1500
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 1: the name. I think the kids handling it well, he's

1501
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 1: out there with the fans and everything else, but that's

1502
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:23,880
Speaker 1: a hot ticket all of a sudden if you get

1503
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 1: a chance to see Bronni James.

1504
01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 9: Yeah. Well, look, I think the positive things that he

1505
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 9: showed on the court, attitude, defense, so those are recipes

1506
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,680
Speaker 9: that can at least ensure you know what, you're not

1507
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 9: going to be like your father Lebron as far as

1508
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 9: a superstar, even a star player in the NBA, they

1509
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 9: can only be a role player at some point. But

1510
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:41,840
Speaker 9: I think to the point that you're making about the popularity,

1511
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 9: you know, I'm in Vegas, still for Summer League. I

1512
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 9: was there yesterday. It wasn't a sellout, but it was

1513
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:50,720
Speaker 9: nearly at full capacity. I talked with Warren Legary, the

1514
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:54,560
Speaker 9: executive director of Vegas Summer League, on this question. You know,

1515
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 9: obviously there's been bigger stars like Picker one big out,

1516
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 9: but that made their Summer League.

1517
01:15:58,479 --> 01:15:58,680
Speaker 1: They do.

1518
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 9: But I wondered, do you think Bronnie James could be

1519
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 9: the biggest Summer League moment just in terms of atmosphere

1520
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 9: and interest level. He wouldn't go that far, but he

1521
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 9: did say, look, this is perfect for Summer League. There's

1522
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:12,719
Speaker 9: a lot of people that are rooting for him because

1523
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:15,800
Speaker 9: of the story overcoming cardiac arrest, you know, wanting to

1524
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:19,719
Speaker 9: see him succeed, the intrigue because he's playing with the Lakers,

1525
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 9: he's lebron James, the Sun. And then there's a lot

1526
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 9: of people that either want him to fail or just

1527
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 9: have a healthy dose of criticism or skepticism. You mix

1528
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 9: all those doing interests together and if nothing else, there's

1529
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 9: a lot of reason for people who want to tune in.

1530
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 9: I'll leave you with this, Steve. It was a near

1531
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 9: full capacity crowd and when that game left, the stands

1532
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 9: almost empty. You know what the next game was. It

1533
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 9: was a game with the Atlanta Hawks and the Washington

1534
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 9: Wizards between the number one and number two pick with

1535
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:56,600
Speaker 9: alexar and zacharyad Us.

1536
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1537
01:16:57,840 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 9: So the fact that no one cared about the number

1538
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:02,800
Speaker 9: one number two pecks, but everyone cared about brawny and captures.

1539
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 9: You know, Laker fans traveling droves and people want to

1540
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 9: see what's else.

1541
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 2: Well, Mark, we care about you, even though people don't

1542
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 2: care about the number one and number two peek, we

1543
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 2: care about you.

1544
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,800

1550
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 1: needle in the NBA. All right, what kind of week

01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 1: plays many roles here for Fox Sports Radio, and he

Speaker 1: this week again, many, I mean this week, Steve. You

1559
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: know I about down to the king. I well, no,

1560
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but but there's no ballot.

1561
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:08,640
Speaker 1: I don't feel comfortable to the bow down, but I

1562
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:12,800
Speaker 1: appreciate the effort. Willie Mays. Of course the question. It

1563
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 1: was a good quick question. I had to pause for

1564
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 1: a second to just make sure. See sometimes I answer

1565
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 1: too quickly and I just think about it for a beat.

1566
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 1: You know, that's the whole thing. If I take a beat,

1567
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 1: then I usually come up with the right answer. And

1568
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:27,760
Speaker 1: what a treat today to have. I mean, you talk

1569
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 1: about a Fox Sports legend. Ciris is on the board

1570
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 1: today for Mary Mack. Curris. Oh you don't want me

1571
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:40,840
Speaker 1: to mention your name to this, I'm sorry, it's too late.

1572
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 1: I already did. I'm kidding, I'm kidding high how already? Chris?

1573
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of in all the years I've

1574
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 1: been here, Curris, and you've been here the whole time

1575
01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: i've been here, how many times have you run the

1576
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 1: board during a show that I've done too many times? Yeah,

1577
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,680
Speaker 1: a little few too many times. But Curris, it is

1578
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 1: great to see and thank you so much for helping out.

1579
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 1: Which is what you do. I mean talk about MVP.

1580
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is off the charts, coming in clutch.

1581
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:11,719
Speaker 1: This this place does not run without cares. Period explanation point.

1582
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 1: All right, all Star game? Are you now? Do you

1583
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 1: watch the Baseball All Star Game?

1584
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1585
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:19,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to tune in. Yeah, I know it's not

1586
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 2: as exciting, but I'm going to tune in. I would

1587
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:23,719
Speaker 2: be lying if.

1588
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 3: I told you I wasn't well.

1589
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:26,920
Speaker 1: I was happy when they got rid of the idea

1590
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 1: that the winner of the game gets the home court

1591
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 1: home field advantage. I thought that's hokey. Let the game.

1592
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 1: Just the one thing about baseball, you know, when we

1593
01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 1: talk about basketball, it's a joke. Right, they don't play

1594
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,600
Speaker 1: any defense. And you know, now we don't even have

1595
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl. It's like a flag football game. But

1596
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: in baseball, it still comes down to the best pitchers

1597
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 1: against the best hitters. It's not like they're gonna lob

1598
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 1: it up there, right, I mean, it's the one All

1599
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:54,720
Speaker 1: Star game. At least, it's hard to not play the

1600
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 1: game at its highest level.

1601
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the pitchers are are so many of them,

1602
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 3: you know they're going to go all out for one so.

1603
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: Start the game for the National League.

1604
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to let him more than one inning.

1605
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 5: You have to.

1606
01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:10,880
Speaker 1: Well, he used to be starting pitchers for the All

1607
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,160
Speaker 1: Star Game. We're going to go three innings. That used

1608
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: to be the deal those days long.

1609
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:14,679
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1610
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 3: No, now it's one inning, next one.

1611
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 1: No, he'll pitch one inning more. Maybe he'll strike out

1612
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:20,599
Speaker 1: all three bad.

1613
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 3: So good and start like an immaculate home run Derby.

1614
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 1: Is that something?

1615
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 3: Watch it?

1616
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 1: Watch the home run?

1617
01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:32,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just I know it's kind of silly, but

1618
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 2: I still enjoy it. I'm not gonna lie.

1619
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 1: By the way, why were the SPS yesterday instead of

1620
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 1: the day after the All Star Game, which is a

1621
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 1: dead day when there's no sports going on.

1622
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:40,680
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1623
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 1: I didn't watch a second, honestly, I haven't watched it

1624
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:46,120
Speaker 1: in years. All right, everybody, we've got a lot more

1625
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:48,360
Speaker 1: coming up on another busy day in sports. Keep it

1626
01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 1: right here. This is Fox Sports Radio.
