Also, will the Golden State Warriors be 11 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 2: haunted by the Christops Porzingis trade?

As they spread out 43 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 2: the NBA schedule, you don't want too many games on 44 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: a random Monday night, So we didn't get that we 45 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: had a light card in the NBA. One of the 46 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 2: games that was highlighted by in me showcase game, you 47 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: had the Spurs and the Pistons who met in the 48 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: NBA finals many many years ago before we were all alive, and. 49 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: That was a dud. 50 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: Wo Man, that was a dud of an NBA finals, 51 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: But nonetheless the current vintage of these two teams, you've 52 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: got two teams on the come. As they say, Victor 53 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: Wemba Nyama got the best of this matchup there twenty 54 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: one points, seventeen rebounds and six assists. San Antonio ends 55 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 2: up winning comfortably. Kid Cunningham, who we're going to talk 56 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: about here, he struggled in this game. He got sixteen 57 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: points on twenty six shots. That's Alan Iverson like from 58 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: back in his day. There just five of twenty six 59 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: for Kid Cuttingham in the law. However, despite that, popular 60 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: opinion by popular people has Cad Cuttingham where do you 61 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: know where he is? At the very top of MVP mountain? Say, 62 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: why are you kidding? Me, Holy Joe Dumar's batman. What 63 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: are you talking about? That's like Rasheed Wallace craziness is 64 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: what that is? Well, yeah, he's supposedly right there, neck 65 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: and neck as we go down the stretch. In the 66 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: NBA regular season, the NBA has a sixty five game rule, 67 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: very controversial to the writers that lick the toes of 68 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: the players. 69 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: They're very upset by that. 70 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: Not fair, all right, you actually have to show up 71 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 2: and play. 72 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 3: Woo woo who. 73 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: They can plain. 74 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: So the rules introduced not that long ago because the 75 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: players in the NBA don't like actually playing. 76 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: It's a problem. 77 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 2: And the integrity of the awards on the line, and 78 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: so you put all this together that they put this 79 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: rule in, and so this is the season where things 80 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: are getting really really. 81 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: Crazy in many ways. 82 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: So the MVP race under the guidelines, as we mentioned, 83 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: player must appear in sixty five games to qualify for 84 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 2: the honors, and they have about a quarter of the 85 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: NBA season to go, about a quarter remaining in the NBA, 86 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 2: and several of the front runners are dropping like a 87 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: trash over garbage and they're just falling down, and a 88 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: couple others are walking a tight rope to be eligible, 89 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 2: and so by default, Kid Cunningham is looking more and 90 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 2: more if you look at the prediction market and the 91 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: gambling market and all that stuff, looking more and more 92 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: like the MVP. This season in the NBA, he's played 93 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 2: forty nine now, I guess fifty fifty of fifty six 94 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: games now and he's only missed six games, Kid Cunningham, 95 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 2: So that gives him, if my man is correct, eleven 96 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 2: game cushion. He's got an eleven game cushion before this 97 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 2: becomes an issue, so he's. 98 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: Got a lot of leeway. 99 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 2: Whereas players like Sga, Lukeka Wemby and the Joker do 100 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 2: not do not have the cushion. They don't have the 101 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 2: cushion there. They are missing the bare necessities if you will, 102 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 2: all right, so good jumping off point. Let us discuss 103 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 2: the question do you have a problem or would you 104 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: have a problem with Piston Star Kade Cunningham sneaking away 105 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: with an MVP award just because he happened to play 106 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 2: the required number of games, unlike these other bozos who 107 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 2: doesn't look clow be able to even get to sixty 108 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 2: five games. So just by staying healthy you can win 109 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: the MVP award. So I've got day Spa my thoughts here, 110 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: day Spa, Kentucky Derby, and DNA embedded, and we will 111 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 2: combine all of these things together. We're gonna make biscuits 112 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 2: and gravy is what We're gonna make, delicious biscuits and gravy. 113 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: So to begin here, though, A, I have no problem, 114 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: zero problem with this. If Kate cutting him tiptoes through 115 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 2: the tulips and ends up going past the velvet ropes 116 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: and takes home the MVP title because SGA, Luca Wemby, 117 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: the Alien Guy, the Parisian Prodigy Guy, and the Joker 118 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: were busy flirting with the attendance office. 119 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: So be it. I'm fine. Good for him. 120 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: Availability is valuable, and it's not like Kate Cunningham stings. 121 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 2: He's had good He's had very good season. Pistons have 122 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: been they were the top team. I don't have that 123 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: lost to the Spurs. They're still the top team, but 124 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: they they have been one of the top teams in 125 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: the NBA most of the year. So you have a 126 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: player who's their top player and he happens to be 127 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 2: in position to win the MVP. It's not outrageous, right, 128 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: and he has been dependable. The others playing buck chicken 129 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 2: with the calendar, but buck chicken with the calendar. They 130 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: are like the way I look at it, You know, 131 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: I'm someone to prize myself in showing up the work 132 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: and being here. And I think part of this job 133 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: is that it becomes part of the routine. Right, If 134 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: you listen to something, you want to hear that person there, 135 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: and if they're not there, then you'll find something else 136 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 2: to do. And I think it's a big part of it. 137 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 2: And I also think if you're on a team and 138 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 2: you've got people depending on you, you kind of not 139 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: you kind of need to be there, that kind of 140 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 2: you need to be there. 141 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: It's a big deal. 142 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: And so if you're you're absent, if you can't reach 143 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: sixty five games out of eighty two, you're not getting 144 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 2: robbed out of anything. 145 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: You're absent. 146 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 2: And I would say even at sixty five games, if 147 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 2: my math is correct, you're still missing. You're missing twenty percent, 148 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 2: about twenty percent of the schedule the grind. So do 149 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 2: your job. When the league installed the sixty five game threshold, 150 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: it wasn't performance art, it wasn't it was like, listen, 151 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,479 Speaker 2: we've got a problem here. This was a direct response 152 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 2: to load management theater, load management theater, which is going 153 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 2: on here starring the biggest names in the association. They're 154 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 2: all doing it, you know, they're all doing cosplay as 155 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 2: Street Close Anthony Davis. They're like, hey, I like that 156 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 2: Street Close guy, Anthony Davis. Let's be more like him. 157 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 2: Let's miss a bunch of games. So if you want 158 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 2: the MVP, it's not that hard. Will be the adults. 159 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 2: You show up and you play, You punch the clock, 160 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 2: you lace them up. You play the games against the 161 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 2: Wizards when no one's there. You play the games against 162 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: Sacramento when nobody wants to see that game because it's Sacramento. 163 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: You show up to those games, right, And if Kate 164 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: cutting him ends up cashing in because he stayed vertical 165 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 2: while the others were in a lazy boy chair, then 166 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: so be it. 167 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: The NVP award in. 168 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 2: The NBA should not stand for a most vacation Player. 169 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 2: And if you give it to someone who plays less 170 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 2: than sixty five games, and you're giving it to someone 171 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 2: who did not do their job, so why would you 172 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: reward them? But I do know we live in the 173 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 2: age where you do reward this kind of thing. There's 174 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: a lot of soft people that like this. They may 175 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 2: want players to miss more games. And I always chuckle 176 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 2: because those people are called losers. All right now, page 177 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 2: to the Bay Area we go. When I was seeing 178 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 2: the fallout of a trade at the deadline, here the 179 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors. They wanted Jannis Identa Coombo wanted the 180 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 2: Greek freak. They couldn't get the Greek free Where's the 181 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: could get him? Where's the great freak? Couldn't get him? 182 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 2: So they had to settle for their backup plan. You 183 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: might remember Christops Porzingis, and already alarm bells have been sounded. 184 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: Just like that. Porzingis. 185 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: He missed Golden State's last game, and he is expected 186 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: to miss the next two games because of an illness. 187 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 2: And the word is Porzingis. When he was with the Celtics, 188 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: he was diagnosed with pots. Look it up, not pot 189 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: but pots. It's an illness and it's affected him. Going 190 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 2: back a couple of years to at least of the 191 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: playoffs in twenty twenty four with Boston, and this season, 192 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 2: the unicorn has appeared in not one, not two, not three, 193 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 2: not four, how about eighteen games. That's it, eighteen games, 194 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:39,479 Speaker 2: not much, not much. So the question will the Warriors 195 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 2: be haunted by the Christops Porzingis trade, as there are 196 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 2: some reports out saying that is the case. The word 197 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 2: is already afraid that they have made a terrible mistake 198 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 2: in acquiring Porzingis. So to answer the question, I am 199 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: nodding my head. Yes, I'm nodding my head. Yes that 200 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 2: this is is bad mojo for the Golden State Warriors. 201 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 2: Here the Warriors who are already and we're a couple 202 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: weeks into this, they're already sleeping with the lights on 203 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 2: because of the Porzingis trade, Like, what have we done 204 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 2: the Boogeyman. 205 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: We've acquired the Boogeyman. Bad job by us. 206 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 2: You can hear the floorboards creaking at the Chase Center 207 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 2: there in downtown San Francisco. Right, buyer's remorse. Oh yeah, absolutely, 208 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 2: a case of buyer's re moarse here and it's alive 209 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: and well. 210 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: By the bay. 211 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: They traded away Jonathan Kuminga, who is not Kaminga is 212 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 2: not like the greatest thing in the world or anything 213 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: like that. However, that was their last shiny asset. That 214 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 2: was their last piece of the pie that they could 215 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 2: get something somebody that wasn't washed up. 216 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: In a million years old who can't play anymore like 217 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: Draymond Green. 218 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 2: They could have gotten something of value for Kuminga, who 219 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 2: was in Steve kurs doghouse, and they got an expiring 220 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: contract in bubble wrap is what they got. That's that's 221 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 2: what they got from Atlanta. Porzingis is a seven footer. 222 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: He should wear that costume with the question marks on 223 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 2: it from Batman, right, the Joker and all this because. 224 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: It's it's insane or the Riddler. 225 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 2: Rather, it's it's not a corner stone. He's not a 226 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 2: cornerstone guy. And they knew going in he wasn't gonna 227 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 2: be a cornerstone player, but they were hoping he would 228 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: not be just another Jenga piece. And that's that's where 229 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 2: he's at at this particular point. It's kind of like 230 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 2: the Warriors went to the auction, the thoroughbred auction. They 231 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 2: bought a thoroughbred at the auction, and they were all 232 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 2: excited about They started texting everybody they knew. They said, 233 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 2: oh man, we're going to the Kentucky Derby. We just 234 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 2: went to the horse auction. We just got a thoroughbread. 235 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 2: Oh you did right. They left out the part that 236 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 2: the horse they bought was on discount because it had 237 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: three legs. It was missing a leg. So good luck 238 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: with that, pal, good luck. I'm sure you'll do very well. 239 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 2: Churchill downs here. And also, I don't want to hear 240 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: the well when healthy speech. I've heard enough of that. 241 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 2: I don't need to hear that one more time. When healthy, 242 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 2: if only you stay healthy. This just into Fox Sports Radio. 243 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 2: Injury prone players get injured video at eleven Injury prone 244 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 2: players get injured. Shocking, a shocking revelation here, So come 245 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: on and porzingis now, it's. 246 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: Not all bad. 247 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 2: He does have a seat, granted it's a booster seat. 248 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 2: Porzingis Christops Worzingis at the kiddie table with street clothes, 249 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 2: Anthony Davis, joellenb Ben Simmons, who's think I think he's 250 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: fishing now he's not even in the NBA and Kawhi 251 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 2: Leonard and Paul George isn't even invited and he should 252 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 2: be invited. But Paul George, he's not invited. So it's 253 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 2: feast or famine, mostly famine, mostly famin at this particular 254 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: restaurant and it's a bridge to nowhere, this Jonathan Kuming 255 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: trade other than salary cap relief. I don't know anyone 256 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 2: that gets excited about salary cap relief. And if you do, 257 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 2: you might want to question your decision making if you're 258 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 2: like that. So one minute, the Warriors are hanging championships. 259 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 2: It's the dynasty by the bay alam to lose all excited, right, 260 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 2: oh man, this is the greatest thing in the world. 261 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 2: And now, inch by inch, the Warriors are going backwards 262 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: back to a time when a Donald Foyle was the star, right, 263 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: and where have you gone? Baron Davis and those monte 264 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: Ellis and those guys. Bring back Mike Montgomery as the 265 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 2: coach that era of the Golden State Warriors. There and 266 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: good luck the fog rolling in on what had been 267 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: a great run of the Golden State Warriors and everyone's like. 268 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: What is going on? What have they done? My god? 269 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 2: They might want to contact Joe the ghost Hunter, who 270 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 2: will try to push back on the ghosts there that 271 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 2: have already moved in to the Warriors office says all right, now, 272 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: last word, we're gonna pivot to college basketball. But it's 273 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 2: a crossover because it does relate to the NBA world 274 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 2: in many ways. Here the Star and many of these 275 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 2: teams in the NBA that are not trying to win 276 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: and are just going out there trying to lose, and 277 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 2: they don't want any want any part of that, and 278 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: they want the lottery and they're the top player. There's 279 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: a debate who the top guys. Like three players at 280 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 2: the very top there. One of them is the Kansas 281 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 2: star Darren Peterson, who has fired back at the many 282 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 2: critics who have been burying him for his malfeasance. 283 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: We talked about load management. 284 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 2: Well, here's a guy that is doing load management in 285 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 2: college basketball and he's claiming, well, I don't want to 286 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 2: miss games is what he says. So quote basketball is 287 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 2: my life. If I could have, he says, if I 288 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 2: could have been out there every game this year, Peterson said, 289 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 2: I would have. If you would have asked me last 290 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: year what were my goals for this year? I would 291 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: have never mentioned missing games. Close quote all right, question, 292 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 2: do you believe Kansas star and projected top pick in 293 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 2: the NBA draft Darren Peterson that when he says I 294 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 2: don't want to miss gaps? But do you think he 295 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 2: will be downgraded. Do you think he will be downgraded 296 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 2: in the eyes of the NBA because of all the 297 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 2: time that he's missed this season for the Jayhawks. So 298 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 2: the whole story smells, like the whole thing smells. And 299 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:29,959 Speaker 2: I was asked about this a couple of weeks ago. 300 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 2: I go on on the radio every Thursday with my guy, 301 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 2: Bob Fesco and Dusty and those guys in their morning 302 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: show in Kansas City, and they were we talked about 303 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: Peterson at that particular time, and I was like, you know, 304 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 2: he's still gonna get the opportunity. 305 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: I was gonna get the opportunity. 306 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 2: This thing is continued though, It's continued the spiral, and 307 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 2: I'm looking at it now and this whole season he plays, 308 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 2: he plays well. It's like it's it's like an NBA 309 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 2: type storyline, but it's about college basketball. 310 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: And it smells really bad. 311 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 2: It's like if you've ever left out a tuna fish 312 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 2: sandwich on the dashboard in the summertime. You know, it's 313 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 2: really nasty. You know, the smell and you can't get 314 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 2: it out of your car and it's just horrific and 315 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 2: all that stuff. But NBA teams have to take note 316 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 2: they have to take note here, you're not doing your job. 317 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 2: We are witnessing a full blown infestation in the NBA. 318 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 2: The asbestis of apathy among those that are the workers 319 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 2: of the NBA. It is seeped into the fabric of everything. 320 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 2: It's literally in the floor there, all over the but 321 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 2: the spores are in the air everywhere from the asbestos. 322 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 2: It's not good. And so you look at that, and 323 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 2: we have seen the damage this has done. We've seen 324 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 2: this before. We've seen this movie in the NBA. And 325 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 2: now you're talking about the Jayhawks and Bill Self and 326 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 2: Kansas and all that. They had a guy who knows 327 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 2: a thing or two about this lifestyle. Joel Embiid just 328 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: mentioned him right, his teammates with the Invisible Man, Ben 329 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 2: Simmons for the Sixers. And Peterson's got a grocery list 330 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 2: of excuses. 331 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: He's got a hamstring here. 332 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 2: The quad, the ankle that he had, the flu, the 333 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 2: thing of a jig. My personal favorite though, chronic cramping, 334 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 2: not crapping. Chronic cramping. I love that, which tells you 335 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 2: that he's not drinking enough water. I think you can't 336 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 2: make it up. You cannot make this up. And so 337 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 2: it is a it is a medical mystery, or it's 338 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 2: load management, the virus of load management mutating into its 339 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 2: final form at this moment here. And either he's faking 340 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 2: it Peterson of Kansas. He's either faking it or he's 341 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 2: damaged goods. Neither outcome is ideal. Either the guy is 342 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: is aged. People around him are telling them, hey, you 343 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 2: gotta not play this many minutes. You got to save 344 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 2: yourself for the NBA paycheck, and he's like, okay, why not. 345 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: Or he actually does have all these ailments, they're all 346 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 2: legit and he is just soft, and that's not good. Right, 347 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 2: But looking at this objectively, once that did not play 348 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 2: rest pops up in the box score over and over, 349 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: that DNA gets embedded into your system nineteen years old, 350 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 2: something like that. Eighteen nineteen, he's nineteen. You're cooked by 351 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: the time he gets twenty seven. Forget about thirty. You 352 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 2: don't magically become an iron man if that's how you play. 353 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 2: And you know, if you're Zion Williamson two point zero 354 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 2: your first NBA paycheck, you're you're just a red flag 355 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 2: for the NBA. And so he's he's getting paid in 356 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 2: college too. That's the other time, he's getting paid. It's 357 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 2: not like back in the day he'd say, you got 358 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 2: to rest up for the NBA check, and guys, we're 359 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 2: getting paid that anyway. He's getting checked, he's getting paid, 360 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 2: and he's sitting on a throne of ice packs is 361 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 2: what he's doing at this point. So the skills are there, clearly, 362 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 2: the skill set is there. You gotta ding the mentality, 363 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 2: you gotta ding it ding ding ding ding ding. You 364 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 2: gotta do it.

I truly believe Giannis should be the 527 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 2: MVP because when he is on the court, the Bucks 528 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 2: are nearly unstoppable.
