1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up? Party?

2
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: People with me? Jason McIntyre Straight Fire for Wednesday, July one.

3
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Bucks are n me a champions, something I

4
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: thought I'd never freaking say. Congratulations to Janice and Chris

5
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Middleton and Mike Budenholzer. I mean, how many times have

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: we beat up Mike Budenholzer on this podcast? Folks? Goodness great,

7
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: I had to hold up. By the way, thank you

8
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: for the props for the Franfracilla interview. You guys seem

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: to love that he's always dropping knowledge. And it's weird

10
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: because a lot of NBA guests that have come on

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: I've beaten up Budenholzer. I know you guys listen regularly

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: and Boodenholzer has been pretty bad. He pushed the white

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: buttons in this series. I gotta say Boodenholzer got it done.

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: But let's be real, Buddenholzer can only get so much

15
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: credit when Janice drops fitty fourteen and five and you

16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: know you go. If you were on the internet last night,

17
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: all you saw was honest. First player in NBA Finals

18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: history player playoff history to have fifty ten and five

19
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: blocks shout out to the honest. He was unbelievable. You

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: knew he would bounce back and not let them lose. Um.

21
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: But any stat you want to give me pales in

22
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: comparison to the free throws. Seventeen of nineteen staggering. That's

23
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: almost stef Curry like Janice made seventeen or nineteen free throws,

24
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: only attempt at three three pointers. By the way, it's

25
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: so funny if you want to, if you want to

26
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: really crack up, go look at Janice's game log against

27
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets. Okay, he averaged four point four three

28
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: point attempts per game. The guy didn't know what he

29
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: was doing. He was just jacking three, giving what the

30
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: defense take, what was giving him, taking what the defense

31
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: is giving him. He started to see the light. Against Atlanta,

32
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: only two or three point attempts per game, and then

33
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: in the finals two point five three attempts a game,

34
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: only made one in the final four games made one.

35
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: He's just stopped shooting threes. Smart, self aware. And I

36
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: posted this on my Instagram. But that speech jan has

37
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: had about ego and pride, and I mean it was incredible.

38
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: It was like a one minute snippet and it's just

39
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: really smart stuff, and I gotta get honest credit. It's

40
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: easy to be a fan of him. This guy is

41
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: the American dream. I'm a huge fan of Jannae comes

42
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: over as an immigrant, a young kid, rail thin, a

43
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: lot of work he had to put in to get

44
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: where he is today, and now he has a finals

45
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: m v P. Uh. Janice one of seven players wait

46
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: wait one to three, four or five, six, seven, eight,

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, one of nine players in NBA history to

48
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: have multiple m vps and the finals MVP. This is

49
00:02:53,600 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: the list. Janice joints, Moses Malone, Irvin Magic Johnson, Tim Duncan,

50
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: Larry Bird, Lebron, Wilt Jordan's and Jabbar. That's exclusive company.

51
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: I think that. You know, it's weird. Every time Steph

52
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: Curry would dominate, win an m v P, and then

53
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: win the title, It's like, Okay, Curry's now a top

54
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: twenty player all time. Curry's now a top twenty. Curry's

55
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: probably around the top fifteen. Kevin Durant, same deal, right,

56
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: He's always a great player, and then you win the

57
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: titles of Golden State. Jesus, guy's top fifteen. Is he

58
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: gonna be top ten? We thought with the title with

59
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: the nets, maybe Janice has to be at this way,

60
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: has to be a top thirty five player in NBA history,

61
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: has to be. I know, if you can't make threes

62
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: in a shooting league, you can't be amazing. But he's

63
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: basically unstoppable shot six in the series, and a bunch

64
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: of people, including the smart Rob G, have come out

65
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: and said, well, you know, these numbers are kind of

66
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: shack like, and that's where I call it twenty second

67
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: time out, Like, let's hold up, okay, because it's easy

68
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: to toss out. Oh, he's shock like. Is he dominant inside? Yes,

69
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: no doubt about that, but this is not on the

70
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: Shack level. And again, Shack was dominating in the era

71
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: of the big man. This ain't the era of the

72
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: big man. Okay. First of all, he didn't have to

73
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: go through Joel and b who was the you know,

74
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: one of the best setters in the league. He didn't

75
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: have to go through Nicolaoka. Choose the m v P.

76
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: These are the centers Janice went through. Bam Out a

77
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: bio very good player, third team All NBA. I believe

78
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: Rob G can check me on that Olympian, really really

79
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: good player like a third fourth year in the league. Okay,

80
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: let's settle down. Second round, the Bucks go against the

81
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets. I think they started Blake Griffin's corpse at center.

82
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: It might have been Jeff Green, I don't remember. It

83
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Shock would have dropped forty five on them

84
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: in every game any I mean any center, A la

85
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: jah one would have eaten those guys alive. And then

86
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: against the Hawks, Uh, Clint Cappella, who's just a rim

87
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 1: running guy who doesn't know who can't really do anything,

88
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: no skills. He's a good shot blocker. But Clint Cappella,

89
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: like Janice, went up against DeAndre Atan good big man.

90
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a MAX guy. I I think

91
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: I pushed back on all the max player nonsense that

92
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: we've heard about DeAndre Atan good player, young player. Um,

93
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: Like that's who we went up against. Like, let's settle down.

94
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: Shack was dominated in the era of the center. Now, yes,

95
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Ewing was gone, Tim Duncan was still around. David

96
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: Robinson he struggled with UM. Shocked by the way, and

97
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: I had to go look it up just you know,

98
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: because I know some people out there gonna be He's

99
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: not the new Shock, does he dominate it inside? Yes,

100
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: Shack never attempted threes. Jest loves to attempt threes, although

101
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: he got wiser. So here, I went up and looked

102
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: up what Shock did in the finals against the Indiana

103
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Pacers in two thousand. Are you ready for this? Forty

104
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: three and nineteen forty and twenty four, thirty three and

105
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: thirteen thirty six and twenty one, thirty five and eleven

106
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 1: forty one and twelve, Shack averaged thirty eight and six

107
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: team while shooting six. Honest, it was really good in

108
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: this series. A tick below at thirty five and thirteen

109
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: and six. Listen, Janice is dominating. He ain't no Shock,

110
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: so stop with that nonsense. Then Shack two years later

111
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: against UH the New Jersey at the time Nets thirty

112
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: six and sixteen forty and twelve thirty five and eleven

113
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: thirty four and ten for a robust thirty six points

114
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: twelve rebounds. A game on shooting now, if memory serves

115
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: those UH New Jersey Nets had like Kenyan Martin at center,

116
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: he had no chance, absolutely none. Again, Shack, I gotta

117
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: I gotta call up the box score here. Um, yeah,

118
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: Todd McCullough, who was an Olympian in Canada, um Keith

119
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: and Horne uh erin william Ms. There is that famous

120
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: Shock photo where he's dunking and literally all five players

121
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: from the nets are around him. Two of them are

122
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: getting flushed through the rim. Okay, Shack was a unicorn.

123
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: We've never seen anyone that size and speed. Ever, we

124
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: never will again. Janna is also a unicorn, but a

125
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: different kind of unicorn. He's not overpowering, He's just simply

126
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: longer than everybody in In all honesty, to me, Janice

127
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: is more Wilt Chamberlain than Shack. Wilt was just dominating

128
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: these small dwarves in the sixties and seven fifties, sixties seventies,

129
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: I mean there was barely any seven footers in the league.

130
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: And you know, Will basically just everything at the rim.

131
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: Automatic That's what Yannes is. Shack moved people out of

132
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: the way and went through them. Janice just goes around them.

133
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: His big, awesome, sweeping moving in the lane, just goes

134
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: around people, scores it with ease. It's not a knock

135
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: to say he's not Shack. He's just more Will then

136
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: he is Shock. Now I just need to get to

137
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: my overarching um my big takeaway. As I'm watching the Bucks,

138
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: you know, my daughter had a basketball game, so I

139
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: had to uh pause the game early and catch up

140
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: with it on the DVR, and you know, listen, honest

141
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: was amazing, no doubt about it. Chris Middleton did his

142
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: usual I'm just gonna show up and make one big

143
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: shot late in the game. Drew Holiday descended from the

144
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: firmament right. Everybody put him on a plateau in game five. Oh,

145
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: he's all time great defender. Blah blah blah blah. Four

146
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: of nineteen. Okay, it was like he'd never seen his zone.

147
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: In the second quarter when the sun started to come back.

148
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: Did have eleven assists, nine boards. He does all the

149
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: other things, but just offensively. I don't know. Fox Sports

Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks is this is not the start of a dynasty.

155
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: This is a great, awesome postseason run. When you didn't

156
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: have to face him beating the sixer because they gagged

157
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: against the Hawks, when you didn't even have to face

158
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: Trey Young, who missed a pivotal game with an injury.

159
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: They came back with a shell of himself when you

160
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: faced one and a half of the big three of

161
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets. Like, folks, this was a one night stand.

162
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Bucks are not starting a dynasty. They're not

163
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: going back to back. If you want to bet on

164
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: them to win the title again next year, you might

165
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: as well like that money on fire. This is a

166
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: really good team, but this was a one night stand.

167
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: This was a one and done. Not quite along the

168
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: lines of the Toronto Raptors, who were really one and

169
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: done because the second Kauai left peace back to the

170
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: basement if you remember my rant. Of course, they did

171
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. The next year, they lost in the

172
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: I think it was the first round of Boston Um

173
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: and then this following year they were one of the

174
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: worst teams in the league. Reality bites Now, the Bucks

175
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: are not gonna fall that far. But the Brooklyn Nets

176
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: are gonna be the class of the East next year.

177
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: They will have the best big three in the league

178
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: unless the Lakers somehow get Damian Lillard, Dame a d

179
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: and Lebron would be the best. Yeah, that would be

180
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: better than k D, Kyrie and Harden. Ma'd be close,

181
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: but I give the edge to Dame, Lebron and A

182
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: d um. I think the Sixers if they get Dame

183
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: and you've now got Dame and Joel Embiid, they're better

184
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: than the Box. I think you gotta keep an eye

185
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: on the Hawks again, who if they make the right moves,

186
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with John Collins. Hawks. They're they're

187
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: pretty good. The Hawks are very good team. Miami Heat

188
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: are not going anywhere. They will be big game hunting

189
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: this idea that just because the Bucks will in the title,

190
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna go back back to the finals, So folks,

191
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: no way. Okay, Janice was extraordinary. Okay, they were the

192
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: only team to run through the through the playoffs, which

193
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: are big three healthy. Now, Yes, Janice did miss sometime,

194
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: and the reason I picked the Sun stay in the

195
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: series was because Honest was doubtful before Game one and

196
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: he didn't play in the final two games against the Hawks.

197
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: They still had Middleton and Holiday. They got the job done,

198
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: but the reality is they had their Big three. Phoenix

199
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: has one and a half one one in three quarters

200
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: where what do you wanna call Ayton? He's not He's

201
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: not a big three guy yet. Chris Paul's thirty six

202
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: years old. Really looked his age in these final two games.

203
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: He was good twenty six but only five assists and

204
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: he got had trouble with the fouls. Um, the Bucks

205
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: had a big three. Drew Holiday worked, and that's why

206
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: I need to give them major props. Shout out to

207
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: the Bucks organization who last year knew they had to

208
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: do something after getting dusted by the heat. They said,

209
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: we need to make a move. They went big game

210
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: hunting and they overpaid for Drew Holiday and it paid off.

211
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: Drew Holiday's defense was good. The offense wasn't there, but

212
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. He was the third banana offensively, and

213
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: when your third banana is Drew Holiday, you're in good eight,

214
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: especially when the Nets lose Kyrie. James Harden's injured, and basically,

215
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: let's remember Kevin Durant nearly took down the Bucks by himself.

216
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: James Harden was I don't know what it was, I

217
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: don't know, and Durant, because his toe was on the line,

218
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: forced overtime, not winning the game. That's the only way

219
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: there there are an inch away from getting ousted in

220
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: the conference finals. That's how close the Bucks were. What

221
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: do they say maker miss league in the NBA. Listen,

222
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: this is not to diminish what the Bucks accomplished their

223
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: champions That's all that matters. In five years, nobody's gonna

224
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: look back and say, oh, well, Kevin Durant. Vote was

225
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: online and that's why the Bucks were able to win

226
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: it overtime and Kyrie Irving was hurt and Trey Young

227
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: got hurt and they didn't have to face the number

228
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: one seed and blah blah blah blah blah, like nobody

229
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: does that in five years, the Bucks are champions. I'm

230
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: just telling you right now, based off last night, this

231
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: is the take, honest, incredible, Not Shack. He's more Wilt

232
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: and the Bucks are a one night stand. I I

233
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: can almost say with supreme confidence that the Milwaukee Bucks

234
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: will not win another championship with j Honest, that's not

235
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: a knock. I'm just reading the tea leaves and seeing

236
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: where things are headed, Folks. The Brooklyn Nets are going

237
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: to own these text here now. Listen, injuries do happen.

238
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: Janice has been injury free throughout his career. Kevin Duran

239
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: has not, James Harden is not, Kyrie Irving is not.

240
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: Joel Embide cannot stay healthy. We don't know where Ben

241
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: Simmons is gonna be. There's a lot of uncertainty in

242
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: the soft season surrounding Dame Ben Simmons and Bradley Beale,

243
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: and I think you could probably toss Chris Paul in there.

244
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: But right now, as we head into next year, the

245
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: Nets are the class of the East. We'll see about

246
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: the seventies sixers, will see what moves they make. I

247
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: think definitely keep an eye on the Hawks. I barely

248
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: mentioned my guy Jayson Tatum. And the Celtics. I don't

249
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: think they're done. Let's see what oll they're tinkering they do.

250
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: The Kemba Walker deal was not horrible. UM, clearly they're

251
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: gonna need to figure out the seven Fournier situation. But

252
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: the Celtics will be there. I just listen. The Bucks

253
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: are a good story. It's gonna be very difficult for

254
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: them to repeat or even come out of the East.

255
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: I also want to remind you guys, as the Deer

256
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: district pops off right, Drew Holiday and Chris Middleton gotta

257
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: get on a plane and flat of Japan to play

258
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: in the Olympics. So just when you're like, oh, the

259
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: grueling playoff run has ended, now I get to go rest.

260
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: No two more weeks of basketball now. Yeah, a guy

261
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: like Lebron, he had the burden of space jam. He

262
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: lost in the first round when Anthony Davis got hurt.

263
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: Lebron's having finally some time off. Obviously, we can't forget

264
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: the Lakers. They're not gon Learn anywhere. So right now,

265
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: I would say the East next year, Uh, you always

266
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: gotta watch the Heat. You've always got to watch the Celtics. UM.

267
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: I think the Hawks have something brewing. The brook Bucks

268
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: are definitely gonna be top four in the East. UM

269
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: nets sixers, And if you're looking for a sleeper, I

270
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: am very curious to see what Charlotte looks like in

271
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: year two of LaMelo Ball. I don't want to get

272
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: too excited, you know. Obviously LaMelo Ball, Gordon Hayward and

273
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: Terry Scary Terry and the Hornets kind of sort of

274
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: remind me of Memphis in the West, and I would

275
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: not be surprised if the Hornets were like snuck up

276
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: on people and were like the fifth seed or something.

277
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: Somebody will fall out, probably the Knicks. Um. And again

278
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: the Bucks have been hunting for three years. They will

279
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: be the hunted next year. They will get everyone's best

280
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: shot in the regular season. So ultimately, I got a buddy.

281
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: I got two buddies. My friend out here, I played

282
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: volleyball with him. Dad has a daughter in my son's grade. Um,

283
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: really good volleyball player, he played in college. He's a

284
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: huge Bucks fan from Wisconsin. And then my buddy glass Bagel,

285
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: who's been on this podcast. Um, huge Bucks fan. I

286
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: think went to one or two the games. Um, and

287
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: he gets that championship. Now he has to go sweat

288
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: out the Aaron Rodgers situation. But UM, I don't know,

289
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: rob g. I've I've prattled on for a little while

290
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: now about the Bucks winning the title, and I'm trying

291
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: to go over what I said in my head, and

292
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, have I been too harsh on the Milwaukee Bucks.

293
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,960

Speaker 1: search f s R to listen live. I mean, it's

297
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: odd that you spend more time ripping them than you

298
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: did praising them, considering we just saw arguably the greatest

299
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: single NBA Finals game performance, you know, in fifty years

300
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: real and other than that, Yeah, I mean what Janas

301
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: did in Game six. I mean you can you can

302
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: pull up all the Google Top ten NBA Finals games

303
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: of all time, top twenty NBA Finals performances ever. And

304
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm only gonna limit it to my lifetime. So that's

305
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: really all I can talk about with any kind of knowledge.

306
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: You were two, Like, this is up there with Shacks

307
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: eight and twenty game, you know in O one against

308
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: the Sixers when he just destroyed with Tombo and appled

309
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: him in the phase eleven times. This is up there

310
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: with Tim Duncan's. I think he was like almost like

311
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: quadruple double in Game six against Oh three. This is

312
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: up there with the Jordan double Nickel. This is up

313
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: there with Lebron's Game seven with the block, because it's

314
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: not just the fifty and fourteen and and the five

315
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: assists that he had, it was the defense. Like he was,

316
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: without a shadow of a doubt, the best player on

317
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: the floor the entire game, the most dominant player on

318
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: the floor of the entire game. There was nothing anybody

319
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: could do with him on offense or defense, and for

320
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: him to turn in kind of performance is something that

321
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: people are gonna be talking about for a long time,

322
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: Like whoever wins it next year, whether it's the Nets,

323
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: the Jazz or whoever. And we'll say that Kevin Durant

324
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: has forty five and twelve. They say, oh, yeah, that

325
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: was really really good. It was almost as good as

326
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: what Honest did last year in Game six, like that

327
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: had a great game. Sick, no, no denying it. Um.

328
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: I just again, I don't want to sound like a hater.

329
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm not a hater. I mean I honestly, I love

330
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: the Hohanna story. I said this, he's the American dream.

331
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: You come to America, you work your tail off, you win,

332
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: you could respect, you get money, you get fame, you

333
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: get accolades, you set your family up for multi generational success.

334
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: Like this is an awesome story. I love the Hona story.

335
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm also just being a realist, like guys like, okay,

336
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: honest is awesome. In this series. You beat up Jake Crowder,

337
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: who I thought could have done a better job, Jake

338
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: Crowders mcau bridges, who think weighs less than me and

339
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayden. It was a young kid. Um. This is

340
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: we'll talk about a son's team that had never one

341
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: a playoff series and I think it was eight years

342
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: or been to the playoffs in eight some long long

343
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: as time. Their coach, Monty Williams had not ever won

344
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: a playoff series before this year. Their playoff experience was

345
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: Chris Paul and Jay Crowder and maybe Dario Saret's played

346
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: in some playoff game. Um, but like they were super

347
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: super young team. Outside of Chris Paul, they were really

348
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: really overachieving the Suns and they got lucky when a

349
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: d goes down and no Kauai and blah blah blah.

350
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: So I'm not diminishing it. I just I don't know.

351
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: I need to look deeper at this honest performance. Fifty

352
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: and four team was amazing. But you can you can

353
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: play that game with anybody who would pick your favorite

354
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: NBA Finals performance, and you can poke holes in it

355
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: all day. I mean shack, and I'm a Laker fan.

356
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be intimidated by seven ft three, slow

357
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: footed Rick Smith's as the the guy that he lit up.

358
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be intimidated by the dunking judgment, Rick

359
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: Smith's I'm supposed to be you know, oh my gosh,

360
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, Michael Jordan's lit up um thunder Dan Marley

361
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: and his six ft one point guard Kevin Johnson. Because

362
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: Cedric Ceballos was hurt that series like you can poke

363
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: holes every everybody's performat one of the greatest ever. He

364
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: nick I love this about Sabios. I read this in

365
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: some story about him. He nicknamed himself Chaise because he

366
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: thought he was the franchise. How cool is that you

367
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: just give yourself the nickname I'm the franchise, just called

368
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: me Chise. That's pretty money. Okay, let's go here. Tim

369
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: Duncan in the two thousand three finals was I mean unbelievable.

370
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: Now it was Spurs nets, but Duncan average seventeen five

371
00:20:53,880 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: five blocks four is not us is thirty or whatever.

372
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: But he also had Parker in genobly seventeen boards tops

373
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: the honest five point three assists, what was the honest

374
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: five okay, five point three blocks? What was the honest

375
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: two shack two thousand one finals. This was the the

376
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: other one um against Dick Keim de Mutombo, an all

377
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: time great defender. I think he was the defensive player

378
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: of the year. Okay he was. He was also giving

379
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: up like eighty pounds, but yes, stop it. He was like, look,

380
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: I like pounds. I think I have Tim Duncan and

381
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 1: my all time top five. I'm not diminishing who they

382
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: are as players. What I'm saying is for one game,

383
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: for one single NBA Finals game, you can put this

384
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: Yannas performance up against anybody. Okay, fine, top we'll say

385
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 1: as a top ten performance ever. But just for the

386
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: series for the Shack, and he had a great series.

387
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, there's been against the Kim Mutamba,

388
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: the defensive player of the Year, that would be the

389
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: equivalent of Janna's doing this against Rudy Gobert. Shack averaged

390
00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: thirty three fifteen, four assists, three blocks against the d

391
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: P O Y Diesel. And then, of course I don't

392
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: know that any I think the greatest Finals um ever,

393
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: we had to be Lebron in the sixteen down three

394
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: one of the Warriors nine eleven eight, two steals, two blocks, shot.

395
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I I still think that is that's like

396
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: the greatest. You know, I don't think it gets better

397
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: than that. Jordan had was great in ninety three. I

398
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: think it was against the Sons. Yep, again, said Saballos. There,

399
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean he did. He lit up thunder Dan Marley six. Okay, well, well,

400
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: rather than us debate or discuss, you know this, be honest.

401
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: I know you you want the slander. I know it's

402
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: what you want. You're trying to pull it out of me,

403
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna oblige my one pushback on on all

404
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 1: of this coronation of the Milwaukee Bucks. And I'm with you.

405
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: I don't see them repeating at all. And our friends

406
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: in Vague US agree because they have the fourth best

407
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: odds for next season, behind even the Golden State Wars

408
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: didn't even make the playoffs. This, yeah, everybody's betting that

409
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna get somebody. That's right. But here, here's one

410
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: thing that I didn't have an issue with. One thing

411
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: that Yanni said at the podium last night after the game.

412
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: He's sitting there with the Finals MVP trophy and Larry

413
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: O'Brien looking like a boss, and he says, this is

414
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: a direct quote, it's easy to go somewhere and win

415
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: an NBA championship with somebody else this is the hard

416
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: way to do and we did it. Oh who said this? Now?

417
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: LEVI said that, let me I know that he's basking

418
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: it in. That's fine. You know, maybe emotions run a

419
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: little bit high and really feeling himself. But let's be

420
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: honest man, like you had arguably, outside of Phoenix this year,

421
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: the most charmed path to the finals of anybody in

422
00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: recent memory. I mean, like you mentioned a young hurt. Uh,

423
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: the Nets have Kevin Durant of James harden in O Kyrie. Okay,

424
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: you weren't gonna make the finals. Were the Nets healthy,

425
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have made the finals if Kevin Durant wore

426
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: the right size shoe in Game seven? All right, so

427
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: or was a Game six? I'm not exactly sure, but

428
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: pump the brakes a little bit. Ye ho. Nice, Okay.

429
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: If the Lakers are healthy, they smack you. If the

430
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: Clippers are healthy, they probably smack you. You're lucky that

431
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: you ran into the Phoenix Suns, who had an even

432
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: more charmed path than you did, because they did not

433
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: face a healthy team this entire postseason until they got

434
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: to the finals. And you saw as soon as Milwaukee

435
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: didn't back down after falling behind two. Oh oh shit,

436
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: this is what it's like going It's a fully healthy team.

437
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: And so that's the only thing I wanna say about Yanna.

438
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: I don't want to rain on his brain any kind

439
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: of way, but you know, just relax a little bit, dude.

440
00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: That's it. Um I wish Jhanna said and said, now

441
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: all right, let's be realistic. Okay. NBA Finals, Kyrie Irving

442
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: has left the building. Lebron is passing to j R. Smith,

443
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: George Hill, Tristan Thompson, Jeff Green, Larry Nance, your guy,

444
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: Jordan clarkson Game one against the greatest team in NBA history,

445
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors with Kevin Durant, Steph Currie Clay. Yes,

446
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: that's the greatest team ever. They would wreck Jordan's bulls

447
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: in Game one. Lebron at the height of his powers

448
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: fifty one, eight and eight, he was fanose going against

449
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: the Avengers, and if not for its epic j R.

450
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: Green mind brick is that even a thing of mind brick? Um,

451
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: Lebron probably would and that probably is the greatest performance

452
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: ever that performs was better than honest tonight now I

453
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: know it was in a awes. Some people had again,

454
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: it's one on I mean he's playing one on whatever,

455
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: one on the Superheroes. Um, all the help that he

456
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: got from Drew Holiday. In game six, Yeah, let's let's

457
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: talk about it. Drew almost had a trip. He's guarding

458
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: Chris Paul going up and down the court. Jordan had

459
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: a tripped up. I'm sorry. He had a fifty five

460
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: double Nickel um a I had forty eight. I think

461
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: that it was in Game one against the Lakers. Step

462
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: yes stepped over Tyler. I think Janice is just a

463
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: barely barely a notch below. Yes, I said below what

464
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: Steph Curry did in Game three against the Raptors when

465
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, you know, basically all by himself. Clay Thompson

466
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: was not there. Steph Curry had forty seven points, eight rebounds,

467
00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: seven assists. He was playing alongside Seun Livingston, Quinn Cook,

468
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: Alfonso McKinney. By the way, Alfonso McKinney's the guy who's

469
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: dating I don't know, someone pretty famous. Um, and she

470
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: just dropped him to start dating Drake. Um. That recruits mom.

471
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: I forget her name. Anyway. Steph Curry's seven in the finals,

472
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: nearly beating the Raptors by himself, was a cut above

473
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: the honest tonight. I mean, y'all has had it, had

474
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: two other All Stars with him, Like I'm not diminishing,

475
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: but now Rob's just basically got me end up bashing

476
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: your honest and I'm gonna you guys are gonna hate

477
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: this anywhere. I got you in a box there. I mean,

478
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: I just feel bad. I feel bad that I've actually

479
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: ended up doing some bashing when I shouldn't. Be. Honest. One,

480
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: he's the champ, he's the Finals MVP. You know, strut

481
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: your chest, do all that, like you want congrats your

482
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: honest you you get bragging rights until next year. And

483
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: you know you ain't winning next year. You just know

484
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: that's not happening. Okay, Well, I know we're gonna wrap

485
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: it episode. I know that we're up against it with

486
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: the clock here. But one quick question I wanted to ask.

487
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: You know it after the game. You know, everybody's celebrating

488
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: the Bucks and Janice and and that's fair and rightfully so,

489
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: but one team was trending immediately after the game that

490
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with the NBA Finals. You always

491
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: make it about this team, Rob the Los Angeles this

492
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: is what you do. This is what you do, and

493
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: that's right. Well, they were talking about a hashtag former

494
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: Laker and that's because uh Irvin Magic. Johnson put out

495
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: immediately after the game on Twitter. If Chris Paul apps

496
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: out of his contract with his sons, the first caller

497
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: should be from his friend Lebron James and the Lakers.

498
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: A big three of Lebron, Chris and a D will

499
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: equal an NBA champion Joe. No, man, I disagree. We're

500
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: talking about Chris Paul is gonna be thirty seven in May.

501
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: All he does is get hurt. Do you want to

502
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: bring him on board? He can't shoot threes. Lakers need

503
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: a three point shooter. I I don't. I just don't see.

504
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: What's the point of Chris Paul. Can you play Chris

505
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: Paul and Lebron at the same time? Do you have

506
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: enough shooting? I don't. Would have to get the equivalent

507
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: of like a Kyle Korver out there with him as well. No,

508
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: thank you. I don't want him. I would take Bradley

509
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: beal over him in a heartbeat. Get him that easily.

510
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: You can probably why not? You can probably get Hey,

511
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: Chris Paul, you you you got the number for Rich Paul? Right, Yes,

512
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: isn't he dating Adele? Now that's what I heard, right,

513
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: So he's got a lot of cooking, he's got a

514
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: lot of clout. Hey, Rich Paul called Bradley Beal and say, Bradley,

515
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: go to the Wizards, say you demand to be traded

516
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: to the Lakers. Just do it. It's fine, nobody's gonna

517
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: hate you. It's the Wizards. Come on. Then they'll say, fine,

518
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: we have to trade him. Give us Shrewder and Kuzma

519
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: and Horton Tucker and whatever the salaries match, and you

520
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: can have him Lakers and then boom Lakers at Beal

521
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 1: Lebron and a d. They are winning the title if

522
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: they get those three. Lock it up. We know the

523
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: Clippers ain't gonna be there next year. The paper clips.

524
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: I can't give me him, prey, they can overpay Reggie Jackson.

525
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: By the way, when does free agency start? Robbed? Well?

526
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: They draft is in two weeks? No, No, draft is

527
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: next week? Right? Oh it is next week? Yes? Yeah,

528
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: these days right? Really quick? Um, I believe free agency starts.

529
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: It's after the draft. Has to be in August, first

530
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: week has to be because that's one thing that they

531
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: screwed up with is by making the draft ahead of

532
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: free agency. You would think you'd be the other way around.

533
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: I think that would make a lot more sense. Should

534
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: be the other way around. UM. Alright, well, listen, congrats

535
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: to all the Bucks fans and the Bucks. They were great. Um.

536
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I know people aren't gonna like One night Stand,

537
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: but it's a reality. Just truth telling, folks, this is

538
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: what I do. Um. You know, if the Bucks go

539
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: back to the finals next year, we'll think of something

540
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: that I have to do because obviously I stepped in it.

541
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: But that's not happening. Don't worry. Uh, they're not getting

542
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: by the nets at any rate. Good end. By the

543
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: way to the gambling, you guys. Huh Bucks cover nice? Um.

544
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: The picks on Fox were three and one. Uh. Devin

545
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: Booker over assists was easy, get five? Um, Jake Crowder

546
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: over ten and a half points, he had fifteen, and

547
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: then the one miss was Pat Connaughton over fourteen and

548
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: a half points, rebounds and assists. He was like over

549
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: for shoot, but he did have eight boards and assists.

550
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: So at any rate, Um, thanks for riding. NBA playoffs

551
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: are over. Um, I think we're gonna have to shift

552
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: our attention to the NFL. I already have a good

553
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: NFL take for the more. You guys are gonna love it.

554
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: Um So we'll talk to you then,
