<v Speaker 1>to laugh, this pod is not for you. If you're

0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:16.440
<v Speaker 1>looking for serious analysis breakdowns, x'es and o's hate that

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>the NBA has so much drama, this pod is not

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>for you. If you're looking for something soothing like ASMR,

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>this pod is certainly not for you. On this episode

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:33.239
<v Speaker 1>of This League, we talk about why the nets are

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.920
<v Speaker 1>so damn messy, how the seventy six ers are playing

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>hungover Saturday wreck Ball, why I was so so privately

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:45.559
<v Speaker 1>wrong about Steph Curry, I mean everybody else was. And

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>we also talked to NFL insider Jay Glazer about scooping

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL, how it compares to scooping in the NBA,

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>And then we hit listener questions from my DM. I mean,

0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>that's a question we could probably ask every single day. Right,

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Just take a little stroll down his Instagram and you'll

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>find yourself asking yourself the same question. I guess the

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>latest chapter has me very concerned, very concerned about the organization,

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>very concerned about Kyrie and Steve nash By. Now, I'm

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>sure everybody knows that Kyrie is skipping games for personal reasons.

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>He just didn't feel like playing. This is not Monte Ellis.

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.279
<v Speaker 1>That was like trying to pretend that he injured himself

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>playing pickup basketball, but really he crashed his moped. This

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>is Kyrie just being like, you know, I didn't feel

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>like it. I just I don't know, wasn't my jam today.

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>This is a marquee player that's sitting out for an

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>indefinite period of time. I get that he's like everybody

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>right now. He's affected by the political events going on

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>in DC, and I get that. But the story for

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>sure gets more spicy when Kyrie decides like I'm just

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>not gonna tell people that I'm not gonna play. I'm

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna show up for work and I don't have anything

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>to explain. I have nothing to say. I'm just gonna

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>go a wall. That's that he never He apparently never

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>alerted his coach that he would not be playing, which

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:21.360
<v Speaker 1>being the Mets Steve Nash decided to blow him up

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:21.920
<v Speaker 1>in the pressure.

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 2>I haven't spoke to him yet.

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, I can't really comment because I haven't spoke

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.799
<v Speaker 3>to him as personal reasons, so it'd have to come

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 3>from Kyrie but I don't believe that to be the case.

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't know really where to begin on this. First,

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>you obviously have Steve Nash like clearly dry snitching, clearly.

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what can you really expect though, when your

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>marquee Starr is not telling you or answering your calls

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 1>or your texts and he's just not showing up for games.

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I get that, And on the other hand, Kyrie believes

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>he's probably doing exactly the right thing. I have nothing

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>to explain to anyone. You should know exactly why I'm

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 1>sitting out. There's really nothing to say. Do you see

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the world burning right now? Do you see it? Do

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>you need to know why I'm not playing games? Okay, good?

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>But did Steve Nash really have to say? I don't

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 1>know where he is right now. I haven't heard from him.

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.239
<v Speaker 1>Only the Nets could have that happened to them two

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>weeks into the season. I think we have a dysfunctional

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 1>organization on our hands. Maybe I'm just I'm just saying.

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Let's rewind back to the interview that Katie and Kyrie

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 1>did together on Katie's podcast on the first of October.

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't really see us having a head coach. You

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean.

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 4>Katie could be a headquach.

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 2>I could be a head coach. Jacq Vaughn could do

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 2>it one day.

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>It could be, It can be.

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 2>It is a collaborative effort, I think.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 3>On our part.

0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, okay, So you know who might Marty

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>take a little exception to that.

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Who Steve Steve Nash?

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Nash, the guy who is paid handsomely to be that

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>head coach, the guy that if the team loses, is

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>going to be fired. There's no one else on that

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 1>team that is gonna be on the chopping block if

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>they lose, then hate he is. So, I mean, what

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>can you expect when one of your star players says

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>you're not the head coach and then the other star

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 1>player agrees with him. Listen, you don't think I'm the

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>head coach. You don't think I'm the head coach? All right,

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 1>don't call me back, motherfucker. We'll see what happens. I'm

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna suer you in the press and say I don't

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>know where Kyrie is. Maybe you should ask one of

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>the other twenty head coaches that we have on the

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.039
<v Speaker 1>roster where he is. Ask Kris LeVert, the other head

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>coach where Kyrie be.

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 5>I would have loved to see Steve Nash's live reaction to.

0:04:55.120 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>That, right, Yeah, what did he just say? What excuse?

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie also said in that famous or infamous interview, we

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>don't need someone coming in here making us run drills,

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>changing our offense, changing our flow. We got things handled here.

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, Kyrie was right because now, just

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>like last year, the Nets are just losing games while

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie and Katie are still sitting on the sideline. So

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 1>he's right about that. Brooklyn's five hundred less than five

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>hundred because Katie came back last night and then Brooklyn

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 1>lost by thirteen to the Oklahoma City Thunder at home.

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>That is fucking disgusting. Wow, Kyrie is just still utilizing

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>the we have unlimited PTO policy, just five hundred thousand

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 1>dollars per game, just boom, just still collecting checks, not

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>playing games. This is going to be a major topic

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.280
<v Speaker 1>of conversation something I am for shore keeping my eye

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 1>on the relationship between Steve Nash and Kyrie is I'm

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>saying it now, It is sus. It is super sus.

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Do you agree, Marty?

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 5>I do completely, And as someone who's Steve Nash is

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.479
<v Speaker 5>my favorite athlete and Kyrie Irving right now one of

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 5>my least favorite athletes. It's maybe the easiest sports beef

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 5>I've ever had.

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:17.479
<v Speaker 2>To pick a side on.

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but you have to admit the easiest thing that

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>you could say as a head coaches. Yeah, me and

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie have worked this out. Yeah, he's handling some things.

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 1>He's some personal issues. We'll get back to you when

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 1>he's coming back. He's got some things to handle. You say,

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I haven't spoken to him. That is That is bus tossing.

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 1>That is public bus tossing the most. You know those people,

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the sneaky, sneaky like I'm gonna get back to you,

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>back at you, like six months later, passive aggressively. I

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 1>got you. I'm gonna remember that's Steve Nash. Oh. Yes,

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the big news shockingly in the NBA right now. I'm surprised.

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I am stunned that this is a problem. Yeah, who

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:06.359
<v Speaker 1>saw this? COVID. COVID is now wreaking havoc in the NBA.

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean Heat Celtics was canceled yesterday, which was

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 5>unfortunate for me. I had a nice teaser with the Heat.

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 1>But I also had a teaser with the heat and

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that that game was postponed. So now all the money

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>that I had is I don't know what happens. Actually

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>it's in limbo. Yeah, so let's recap what's happening. The league,

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 1>big money grab league. All leagues are money grab leagues.

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 1>But the league decided we are gonna rush to get

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the league back on Christmas Day, Marquee game Day, just

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 1>so happens a Christmas, a big time family holiday, people

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>gathering in small and large groups alike. And wouldn't you know,

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>just in the incubation period ending, we have an outbreak

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>on our hands, not just in our country, but in

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>the NBA as a whole. And now we have games

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>being postponed legitimately. Now players are getting tested, The players

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>are testing positive for COVID in game, folks sharing the ball,

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 1>sweating on one another, breathing their little COVID juice on

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>each other face and faces, all while having COVID. There.

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>The seventy six ers had eight players on their roster.

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and they got steamrolled by fucking smoked.

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>They really had seven guys, and then there was this

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 1>like scrub that was sitting there just so they didn't forfeit.

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:39.199
<v Speaker 1>It was giving me serious, like Saturday morning wreck ball vibes,

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>where you come in it's empty gym, you expect the

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 1>crew to be there. You're there. You like four went

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 1>is that a word? You four went going out because

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 1>you're a responsible hooper. All of your teammates did not.

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:59.559
<v Speaker 1>They all went out hard, and then they somehow text

0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you like minutes before, bro, not gonna make it. And

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 1>you've got six dudes and girls right playing against a

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 1>stacked team from the other side of the town, and

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 1>they blow you out and you are gassed. You're ready

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>to just fucking puke all over yourself. But this was

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 1>not reck ball. This was the Philadelphia seventy six ers,

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>an NBA team that is just crazy. Teams just legit

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 1>missing half their roster, and Adam Silver's like your lead athletes.

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Just drink some Gatoray and keep going. You can do this.

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Just more minutes, you can play more minutes. It's fine.

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:46.520
<v Speaker 1>It seems like just yesterday, one dude testing positive prior

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to the game starting could shut the entire league down

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 1>and then be the catalyst for the national shutdown of sports.

0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, man, Poor Rudy, Poor Rudy, Gobert.

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Fuck Rudy, go bear what poor Rudy Gobert. That man

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.199
<v Speaker 1>said COVID was fake. That man said COVID was a hoax,

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and then he put his hands and feet and breath

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 1>all on a million microphones, and then he got COVID

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.559
<v Speaker 1>and we didn't get the final four, probably because Rudy Gobert.

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.679
<v Speaker 1>And then also, by the way, in hindsight, he said

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>he regretted that decision. What else, Rudy, would your viewpoint

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:30.320
<v Speaker 1>be what you're you wish that there were more mics

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 1>on the podium to touch? Is that really what you

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 1>could possibly say? No wonder. Donovan Mitchell was like, get

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:40.079
<v Speaker 1>this dumb motherfucker out of here, this dumb French fuck,

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>this COVID truther, shutting down our league, messing with my money.

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Like Michael Porter Junior, who also said COVID was a

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:52.679
<v Speaker 1>hoax out and definitely dumb idiot, don't even get me

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 1>started on these dudes. It's like Kyrie Irving and his

0:10:55.160 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 1>conspiracy theories. Folks, this is not a concert be or see.

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>This is what we're dealing with. What a world. You're

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 1>now to the point where the NBA has redefined all

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.200
<v Speaker 1>of their rules. Close contact is now I don't even

0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 1>know what. I'm not sure you can play in games

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 1>against someone who has COVID is now no longer close

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 1>contact whatever. Okay, And we're to the point where teams

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>are missing damn near half their roster and for weeks

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>at a time, and no one seems to blink. What

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 1>a time to be alive. Now. I got lit up

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>multiple people in my DM's like two segments for Collin Sexton,

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 1>not a goddamn word about Steph Curry. And you know

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.680
<v Speaker 1>that's fair. So I'm giving Steph Curry an entire segment

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 1>breaking down his greatness. The haters. The haters are strong

0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 1>for Steph Currey. They are they really are they. There's

0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>nothing that he can do right for some people.

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 5>Lots of hate, yeah, I mean people say he's an

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:10.200
<v Speaker 5>overrated system guy, like not tough, bad defender, you know,

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 5>all that, all that noise.

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you agree with that?

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't. I never have.

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:15.839
<v Speaker 5>I've I've been a big Stephan for a while.

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Things got extremely slanderous when Steph, you know, he had

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Steph hasn't been himself for a little bit, so things

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>got extremely slanderous. We'll say recently, and you know what

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I am. I'm gonna admit something to you.

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I haven't told people this publicly. I have told

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:40.959
<v Speaker 1>people this privately. I was one of those people. No,

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 1>I was one of those people slandering Steph Curry. I

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>thought maybe he needed Clay and Kadi to open up

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:54.840
<v Speaker 1>his game. I thought maybe he made too many bad

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>decisions to be a leader, chucking from three from fucking

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.679
<v Speaker 1>three seconds in the shot clock a million times anytime

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 1>he wanted, being real, casual with his passes, just sloppy

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 1>at the well at anytime, anytime, sloppy with the rock.

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I thought, does Steph Curry have the toughness to be

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the one to lead a team? Yeah? I was shit

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>talking Steph.

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 5>I just think, yeah, I just think that's wow.

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, games like last night were why two of

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 1>sixteen shooting historically bad night, just poor, just terrible. When

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.839
<v Speaker 1>he looks bad, let's just say this, when he looks bad,

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 1>he looks really bad. But it wasn't even just me, though,

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 1>you had you had NBA champions, NBA champions like Channing

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Fry saying the same damn thing. They were standing for

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Lebron James. They were saying like, oh, look at this

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:56.560
<v Speaker 1>roster lebron James. He all he had was Eric Snow

0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and this and that, and Steph Curry's had three all

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 1>stars on his team. Really, what has he accomplished on

0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:06.760
<v Speaker 1>his own? And then Steph Curry heard all that he

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 1>was listening for sure, took all of that as fuel,

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.839
<v Speaker 1>as rocket fuel, and he put up sixty two against

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:15.280
<v Speaker 1>my Portland Trailblazers, which was regrettable, very sad. Then he

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 1>put up what thirty eight against the Clippers? Thirty eight

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>against the Clippers. He's taking shit personal. He even said it.

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>He said, cue the Jordan meme. I took that shit

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 1>extremely personal. He I mean, there's no what he is.

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he took it personal. He did he did

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 1>doing things he's maybe perhaps never done in his entire career,

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 1>except for when he was at Davidson, also being slandered

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>when he didn't get offers to schools that he should

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 1>have gotten offered to. He's now in that most contrary

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to popular belief, We're not a podcast. It breaks down

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 1>XS No, So That's not what I'm gonna do. I'm

0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>here to make jokes, okay, So I don't need to

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.480
<v Speaker 1>tell you about that crazy left handed cross court pass

0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.600
<v Speaker 1>that Steph Curry made to like, I forget who in

0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the corner on a backscreen, which is inc Okay, we're

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 1>not doing that, right. What we're going to talk about

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.120
<v Speaker 1>is why me and the rest of the world except

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 1>for you, apparently, Marty, are so fucking dumb. Our brains

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 1>do something. Our brains do something that's crazy. It's the

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 1>guys in lab coats they call that. They call it

0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 1>recency bias, they call it a prisoner of the moment,

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want to call it. It means we place

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 1>greater importance on the things that have happened most recently. Right, So,

0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 1>as soon as someone hits the struggle bus, doesn't matter

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 1>what they've done in the past. Two time MVP, five

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 1>consecutive finals appearances, one bad stretch, five games Steph Curry

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 1>played last year five broke his hand. He was with

0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.359
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of random dudes, a jump alieh of Randoms

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.960
<v Speaker 1>that he had never played before with. And it's like,

0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Steph Curry is awful. He is just trash. Now. What

0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 1>happened nine months off? What like, legitimately probably we could

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 1>call it more than nine months off. I would say

0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 1>that those five games aren't enough to really get into

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>a rhythm. So the last time that Steph Curry played

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>a game in rhythm was the NBA Finals against the Raptors. Okay,

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 1>so it's been a while and he's coming back. He's

0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:32.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to get his mojo, has his little slump, and

0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:36.280
<v Speaker 1>it's like, Steph Curry is garbage. He is so overrated.

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 1>He needs three All Stars in order to be good.

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.800
<v Speaker 1>What happened. All he does is chuck from thirty five feet.

0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 1>He's not an All Star. Well, I think people believe

0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 1>he's an All Star, but they don't think he's as

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.720
<v Speaker 1>good as he is. The truth is, Steph Curry is him.

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 1>He is him. He is gonna get his he is

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.600
<v Speaker 1>going to get off. He is one of the greatest

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:59.920
<v Speaker 1>shooters we have ever seen, and now he's probably gonna

0:16:59.920 --> 0:17:02.680
<v Speaker 1>be better because he doesn't have those collection of stars

0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:04.720
<v Speaker 1>that he needs to share the ball with anymore. He

0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 1>can do anything he wants now. And you know, just

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 1>like in his Davidson d days, he has to shoulder

0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the burden or this team will not win. So we

0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 1>get to see Steph Curry be Superman. God damn near

0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 1>every night that is exciting, even on an offshooting night

0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 1>like last night, led the team in rebounds. So much

0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 1>more fun than seeing him with Steph. Seeing Steph with

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Clay and KD and Draymond to their peak. I don't

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:35.359
<v Speaker 1>want to see a dynasty. I want to see a

0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:41.119
<v Speaker 1>guy be superman so on, behalf of all of us

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:45.479
<v Speaker 1>dummies everywhere. I would like to say this for those

0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.600
<v Speaker 1>who want to see Steph be a human highlight reel

0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.200
<v Speaker 1>and him probably get an MVP this year.

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 4>Steph faser a world class and if they'll Scooper and

0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 4>owner of Unbreakable Jim, thank you for coming on.

0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.200
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, I'm here right now a breakable were Fortunately we're

0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 3>closed down in signs we got to adopt no matter what.

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:05.960
<v Speaker 3>These times we actually moved our gym to the parking lot.

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Just keep our health as wealth baby.

0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:09.639
<v Speaker 4>Parking lot pimping as it were.

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's right.

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 4>So I was doing some background research and I came

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:20.080
<v Speaker 4>across this quote, the phone never stops. I've got to

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.959
<v Speaker 4>take every single call that comes in. I was on

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.119
<v Speaker 4>a date with the young lady last night and I

0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.080
<v Speaker 4>told her these calls are going to come in, and

0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 4>I've got to take every single one. So my question

0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 4>is this, is there elite enough vagina out there that

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:45.680
<v Speaker 4>you will pass on scoops for like not disturbed scoops

0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:47.400
<v Speaker 4>are off, no scoop zone.

0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:52.200
<v Speaker 2>No. Well, if something's coming in, I mean I deal in.

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 3>Uh, I'm an information broker and I don't decide when

0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:58.879
<v Speaker 3>that is. So, you know, I used to back in

0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:03.439
<v Speaker 3>the day. There's one time I was I finally had

0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 3>enough money to go to like a nice restaurant in

0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 3>New York. So the first ten years of my career

0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:09.640
<v Speaker 3>I have, I made ninety seven hundred bucks a year.

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.840
<v Speaker 3>It was brutal, and I finally had enough money and

0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.920
<v Speaker 3>I went out to this beautiful, like fancy restaurant in

0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:17.960
<v Speaker 3>New York and I had my girlfriend at the time,

0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.640
<v Speaker 3>and the scoop came in. It's when the ear piece

0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.160
<v Speaker 3>first came out, remember the one that just hung And

0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh my god, I gotta take this call.

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.719
<v Speaker 3>So we got to act like we're snuggling and I'm

0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.800
<v Speaker 3>whispering sweeting nothings in your ear, but I'm actually taking

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:33.639
<v Speaker 3>a call about who the next coach of Washington O

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:34.160
<v Speaker 3>bag got.

0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.959
<v Speaker 4>So even if it was like halle Berry or like

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:40.760
<v Speaker 4>some of these elite.

0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Understand I gotta be charming. I gotta get them to understand,

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:45.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's what I do.

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.120
<v Speaker 3>Now It's ruined every relationship I ever had, So let's

0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:50.760

0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:22.280
<v Speaker 3>You build these relationships, you know, and oh yeah, it

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:24.479
<v Speaker 3>doesn't stop. It definitely takes a certain type of young

0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:25.400
<v Speaker 3>lady who could deal with it.

0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:29.240
<v Speaker 4>How often have you had to multitask You mentioned it

0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 4>a little bit. How often have you had the multitask

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:33.639
<v Speaker 4>scooping while loving?

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:39.919
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. Probably one of the funniest was with

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 2>the flat gate.

0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.440
<v Speaker 3>I was in Arizona at the Super Bowl and when

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.280
<v Speaker 3>my third source called to tell me the NFL is

0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:50.399
<v Speaker 3>zoned in on they have film and they're jeering in on.

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.560
<v Speaker 3>Uh was the locker room attendance, I think and the

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 3>Patriots to fly it in. That was the worst possible

0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 3>time for me to ever get a phone call. But

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:04.120
<v Speaker 3>to take the phone call and we're talking about the flategate,

0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:10.639
<v Speaker 3>so it was it was even worse. I was like,

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:14.000
<v Speaker 3>You're word was, wait, what's happened to your stopping because of

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:16.320
<v Speaker 3>what what is this? And I was like, you know,

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 3>the big story stuck. No, I have no idea what

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 3>you're talking about. And I'm like, I'm trying to explain myself.

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.639
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, it was Uh, like I said, the scoop

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 3>business runs its own.

0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:34.000
<v Speaker 4>Course, mid mid pop scoop. Is scooping a passion or

0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:34.960
<v Speaker 4>isn't an addiction?

0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:37.600
<v Speaker 2>That's a good question.

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:43.199
<v Speaker 3>I think you need to be passionate about if you

0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:46.159
<v Speaker 3>want to be great, you gotta have some passion and uh,

0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:47.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't just want.

0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:49.600
<v Speaker 2>To be somebody. So it's both.

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:53.359
<v Speaker 3>It's well, I've curbed the addiction throughout the years because

0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:55.440
<v Speaker 3>it used to be like I was the first one to.

0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Do the inside and stuff minute by minute.

0:21:57.520 --> 0:21:59.960
<v Speaker 3>It was me first guy whom Len Pascarelli from ESPN,

0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 3>and then you know, I think Clayton Moore would chime

0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 3>in a little bit, but not much. It's just us

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:08.560
<v Speaker 3>and we were grinding, grinding, grinding, every second, every story,

0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 3>a fifth round pick signed, a guard was traded, everything

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:14.240
<v Speaker 3>we were battling for. And that was started in nineteen

0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:16.520
<v Speaker 3>ninety nine when that whole Internet thing came out. I

0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 3>think it's going to take off. I think the Internet

0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:19.040
<v Speaker 3>thing it's going to work.

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Just to hint here.

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:24.280
<v Speaker 3>And now they all do it right. But over time

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:25.720
<v Speaker 3>I said, okay, I kind of did that.

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:26.920
<v Speaker 2>It is really.

0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:30.399
<v Speaker 3>Consumed my life. It is is an addiction, and I

0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:32.439
<v Speaker 3>want to have more in my life. So now I

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 3>want to make sure that on Sundays on Fox and

0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:37.320
<v Speaker 3>Vil Sunday, when I say something as crazy as it

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.359
<v Speaker 3>may sound, people go, okay, we can take it to

0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:41.600
<v Speaker 3>the back. As Goose Glazier said it, because I care

0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:44.919
<v Speaker 3>more about being right than I do about being first.

0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Always hell yeah.

0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:49.760
<v Speaker 4>Is it a team sport or an individual sports?

0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Individual?

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:50.760
<v Speaker 1>For me?

0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:52.440
<v Speaker 2>For the rest of them, I thing is probably a

0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 2>team that could work.

0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:55.919
<v Speaker 3>Together but I've always been a low wolf when it

0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:56.440
<v Speaker 3>comes to it.

0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>It's my relationships.

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, people get real solid when they get scooped on

0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:04.200
<v Speaker 4>to They miss a scoop two minutes early or two

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 4>minutes to take, so they try to like link up

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:07.359
<v Speaker 4>and get that third source.

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think they do. Again.

0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:12.480
<v Speaker 3>For me, it's just my No, it's it's always just

0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:15.399
<v Speaker 3>been me and my contacts and my I call my

0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:16.200
<v Speaker 3>glaze bafia.

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:18.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you for sure are in a mafia. You and

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:21.040
<v Speaker 4>h Stra are definitely in the mafia.

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Yep, no doubt.

0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:27.600
<v Speaker 4>What's uh, what's the story that you sat on that

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:30.480
<v Speaker 4>you ended up getting reported but you weren't about to

0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:33.439
<v Speaker 4>publish or break it because you felt like it was

0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:34.560
<v Speaker 4>gonna break loyalty.

0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:37.680
<v Speaker 3>No, it was not so much that. It's a lot

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:39.679
<v Speaker 3>of times. Look, my job is to break stuff on

0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:42.359
<v Speaker 3>Fox a double Sunday. I don't work for Twitter, you know.

0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:44.480
<v Speaker 3>And back when I was working at Fox Sports dot Com,

0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:46.440
<v Speaker 3>I break stuff by a minute. But now it's for

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:48.960
<v Speaker 3>Fox Cuble Sunday or for Time for Thursday. So I

0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 3>gotta wait on stuff and hope it holds the stress.

0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:53.399
<v Speaker 2>Of things holding.

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:56.120
<v Speaker 3>And there's been some times I've waited two weeks because

0:23:56.119 --> 0:24:00.119
<v Speaker 3>I didn't have that third source and big stories, huge stories.

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>And then that that's what gets me. And you're like, oh,

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:05.679
<v Speaker 2>like you know, you wake up every morning you're like,

0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 2>is it out? Is it out?

0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:09.040
<v Speaker 3>And all of a sudden, boom, it's out. And you know,

0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:10.840
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot that we all that we all know.

0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:12.760
<v Speaker 3>But when you come out of left field with stories,

0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:16.120
<v Speaker 3>that's what I love. But sometimes those stories that seem

0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:17.520
<v Speaker 3>like I came out of left field on them, I've

0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:19.160
<v Speaker 3>been working on them for two weeks.

0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:23.440
<v Speaker 4>Bro I mean you talk about having anxiety, and that

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:25.520
<v Speaker 4>shit must fuel the anxiety.

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Right, Oh, it's terrible. It's it's horrible.

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:33.680
<v Speaker 3>It's it's And the crazy thing too, is the rush

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:36.520
<v Speaker 3>you get when you break a story like look I

0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:39.080
<v Speaker 3>broke the other night bet Is Bryant, right, And it

0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:42.159
<v Speaker 3>was the real time that his test was inconclusive, and

0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:43.760
<v Speaker 3>it was he was pulled for the field and got

0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 3>retested as we were doing the game on Fox, right,

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 3>we're doing pregame, and it was crazy how it unfolded

0:24:51.080 --> 0:24:53.080
<v Speaker 3>and there was such a high for it from it

0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:57.440
<v Speaker 3>for about forty five minutes and then you crash. It's

0:24:57.440 --> 0:24:59.560
<v Speaker 3>like being a child star and everything' is like, oh,

0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:01.640
<v Speaker 3>you're like, it's great, and then all of a sudden, man,

0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:05.520
<v Speaker 3>you don't have that next role. So for us, uh,

0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:07.600
<v Speaker 3>he just keep going after that high. But the high

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:11.360
<v Speaker 3>goes away really, especially nowadays. When back in the day

0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:13.879
<v Speaker 3>you have a story and that was it. Nowadays everybody

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:16.480
<v Speaker 3>just jumps on and takes it all. So that's why

0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 3>I even try to shift from men and my ben

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:22.680
<v Speaker 3>at breaking news to more insidery stuff and more insight

0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 3>than you would and be more entertaining than any other place.

0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:30.320
<v Speaker 4>How do you think that the NFL drama compares the

0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:31.400
<v Speaker 4>NBA drama?

0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 3>In your line of NFL is the greatest reality show

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:35.879
<v Speaker 3>on the planet, you can kidd me.

0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:38.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, hell, we have the lockout years ago.

0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 3>It was a lockout in the off season that led

0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 3>every sports newscast and every Oh it's not even close,

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 3>that's that led the first five stories and then you

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 3>got to, oh, baseball is opening or basketball is the player.

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:53.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's just the NFL is that it reigned

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:55.360
<v Speaker 3>supreme in that thank god.

0:25:56.240 --> 0:26:00.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's you can tell that even though the NBA's

0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:04.920
<v Speaker 4>off season is I think more exciting because there's so much.

0:26:05.760 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's a player, yeah, starg of the league

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:12.320
<v Speaker 4>versus you know, the NFL is so much more team oriented,

0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:15.439
<v Speaker 4>I think, but the NFL is you know, twenty four

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 4>to seven. How do you compare the difference between how

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:23.080
<v Speaker 4>news is broken in the two sports.

0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:25.959
<v Speaker 2>I just he woke everywhere. So you know, I've known

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 2>him for a while and I just love how he

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:28.360
<v Speaker 2>does his job.

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, we're get a world of trust and again

0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:33.800
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't get stuff wrong and he builds these relationships.

0:26:34.440 --> 0:26:35.919
<v Speaker 2>It's funny because he and I used.

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:39.520
<v Speaker 3>To shoot hours all the time at the ESPN and

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 3>like for me when I first started this, I would

0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:44.480
<v Speaker 3>I would pick a fight with ESPN when I felt

0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:45.600
<v Speaker 3>they'd steal my stories.

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:47.359
<v Speaker 2>And people used to think I used to get so

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:50.560
<v Speaker 2>mad about it. I wasn't. It was just a good brand.

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:52.560
<v Speaker 2>It was David versus alive. They should whip me in

0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 2>everything they do.

0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 3>So every time they would take some that I broke,

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:56.800
<v Speaker 3>I would just I would try and make it a

0:26:56.800 --> 0:26:59.280
<v Speaker 3>fight because that's our mentality.

0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:02.760
<v Speaker 2>And you know for woes, you got him paid good

0:27:02.800 --> 0:27:03.160
<v Speaker 2>for him.

0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:06.960
<v Speaker 4>You know, he's known for being like this down this

0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:13.040
<v Speaker 4>don mafioso guy in the NBA scoop Land. Yeah, is

0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:15.919
<v Speaker 4>there has there ever been any equivalent to that in

0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:19.639
<v Speaker 4>the NFL where it's like you bring these scoops to me.

0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:23.159
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I think we all have relationships like that, And

0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:25.320
<v Speaker 3>it's like I've always told my God, listen, it's gonna

0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:28.679
<v Speaker 3>get out anyway, might as well let me break it.

0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:30.119
<v Speaker 3>Like you know, I'd love I'd love to be the

0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:32.320
<v Speaker 3>one that you come to if it's gonna get out

0:27:32.320 --> 0:27:33.680
<v Speaker 3>in anyway. So I think we all have kind of

0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 3>relationships like that. He's just dominated that field.

0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:37.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he really does.

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:39.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we kind of we kind of break up the

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:41.119
<v Speaker 2>pie a little bit more over here for sure?

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:45.960
<v Speaker 4>Are you on like any scoop inner chat like where

0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:48.160
<v Speaker 4>it's like you and Wold passing.

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:51.040
<v Speaker 2>No, I said, I'm I'm my own lone wolf.

0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:55.440
<v Speaker 3>And even like when I started covering the league, I

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:57.840
<v Speaker 3>the reason why my relationship with stray and so close

0:27:57.920 --> 0:28:00.679
<v Speaker 3>is I had you know, I was still I was

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:04.600
<v Speaker 3>fighting on the side right, and so I had more

0:28:04.600 --> 0:28:06.920
<v Speaker 3>in common with the football players I was covering than

0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:10.240
<v Speaker 3>my fellow media. And they used to kill Michael and

0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:12.920
<v Speaker 3>I kill us like they would just murder us for

0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:15.439
<v Speaker 3>our How close we were and how we're not supposed

0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:17.640
<v Speaker 3>to be as close, and man, I'm you know again,

0:28:17.680 --> 0:28:19.280
<v Speaker 3>I had more in common with the player than I

0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:23.720
<v Speaker 3>do the my fellow reporter. Not as I've gotten older,

0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:26.320
<v Speaker 3>it's probably changed a little bit, but I always have

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:27.680
<v Speaker 3>had kind of a different mentality.

0:28:28.960 --> 0:28:31.399
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think that there are newsbreakers that don't really

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:36.000
<v Speaker 4>like obviously their peers having friendships with players. But at

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:38.920
<v Speaker 4>some point you either get it from the agents or

0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:39.959
<v Speaker 4>you're getting it from the players.

0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:43.920
<v Speaker 3>And then for those who say you're not objective, well

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:48.200
<v Speaker 3>they're not objective when they write something bad about somebody

0:28:48.240 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 3>who won't.

0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Talk to them, you know. So it's my job is.

0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:55.800
<v Speaker 3>To get the fans the best, most accurate information as

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:57.520
<v Speaker 3>fast as I can something that they were not here

0:28:57.520 --> 0:28:58.120
<v Speaker 3>anywhere else.

0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:00.680
<v Speaker 2>That's my job. That's what myalty list time.

0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:05.000
<v Speaker 4>What's the angriest someone's gotten, like either a family member

0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:07.400
<v Speaker 4>or a spouse about something that you've had to report?

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Strandon, I almost fought in the locker room one time. Uh,

0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:13.240
<v Speaker 2>that was a big one.

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we had get separated in there and a bunch

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:16.920
<v Speaker 3>of guys had to jump in there.

0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:19.760
<v Speaker 2>We had to get separated. What was the story?

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Hell, I don't remember something I had written he got

0:29:23.840 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 3>pissed off about and then we kind of.

0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Went at it and we separated.

0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:30.040
<v Speaker 3>Uh, there's been a couple other guys, but for the

0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:33.080
<v Speaker 3>most part I've had, there's been a lot of respect

0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:34.200
<v Speaker 3>I've also I've had.

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:36.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm a lot calmer now.

0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:39.520
<v Speaker 3>I used to be a lot and I used to

0:29:39.600 --> 0:29:43.640
<v Speaker 3>be a lot more itchy, trigger finger, I kind of

0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:45.760
<v Speaker 3>like ready for looking for something. I'm kind of always

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:48.479
<v Speaker 3>looking for a fight. So now thank god I've grown up.

0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:49.040
<v Speaker 2>Someone.

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:52.200

<v Speaker 3>Michael and I became friends our first week in the

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:12.480
<v Speaker 3>job ever nineteen ninety three, and when I didn't have

0:30:12.560 --> 0:30:15.640
<v Speaker 3>enough money to go from New York to Giants Stadium

0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:17.280
<v Speaker 3>and back every day because I didn't have enough money

0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:19.280
<v Speaker 3>for bus fair, he drove me back in the city

0:30:19.400 --> 0:30:23.600
<v Speaker 3>every single day, literally every day, so I own.

0:30:23.560 --> 0:30:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Like twenty eight Grand and Lincoln Tunnel Fair.

0:30:25.600 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 4>No, that's my guy. Me and Strayer have played a

0:30:27.800 --> 0:30:31.360
<v Speaker 4>ton of golf together in LA and he talks talks

0:30:31.400 --> 0:30:33.239
<v Speaker 4>really highly of you. I mean, you guys are an

0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:36.720
<v Speaker 4>interesting duel though, because like you always talk about living

0:30:36.720 --> 0:30:39.240
<v Speaker 4>in the gray and he's basically mister sunshine.

0:30:39.520 --> 0:30:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, so that you know, I got to kind

0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:46.440
<v Speaker 3>of learn from that. But yeah, I mean living in

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:48.680
<v Speaker 3>the gray. I've always needed kind of that team, and

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:50.760
<v Speaker 3>guys like him have always been there for me, like

0:30:50.800 --> 0:30:53.640
<v Speaker 3>for me to get through my depression, having a team,

0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 3>which is why I'm here, Like even those places closed

0:30:56.240 --> 0:30:59.080
<v Speaker 3>for me right there in a cage, Like I didn't

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:00.800
<v Speaker 3>have a lot of self worths kid growing up.

0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:02.720
<v Speaker 2>So in a cage is where I felt I belonged

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:05.600
<v Speaker 2>and not even a win to more take beatings in there,

0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:06.920
<v Speaker 2>and for.

0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 3>Me, it's a team is what lists me up. I

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:13.360
<v Speaker 3>just felt I deserved it. I didn't really feel worthy

0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:16.360
<v Speaker 3>of Yeah, I didn't really have a lot of self

0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:18.239
<v Speaker 3>I felt like I deserved kind of take beatings there.

0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:20.280
<v Speaker 3>And I wasn't raised like my parents didn't beat me

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:22.280
<v Speaker 3>or anything like that. I was just born with depression.

0:31:22.600 --> 0:31:25.600
<v Speaker 3>Like it's just how I just how it is, and

0:31:25.640 --> 0:31:27.440
<v Speaker 3>it's like so for this team.

0:31:28.560 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 2>They they kind of lift me up.

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:32.440
<v Speaker 3>And that's where like with Stray and Tony and all

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:34.880
<v Speaker 3>these guys, they became this other team for me to

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:37.720
<v Speaker 3>help me through the gray the off season when we

0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:39.960
<v Speaker 3>don't have foxing up all Sunday, I really struggle.

0:31:40.320 --> 0:31:41.320
<v Speaker 2>It's really hard for me.

0:31:41.480 --> 0:31:44.520
<v Speaker 3>And because every Sunday I have that crew, and I

0:31:44.520 --> 0:31:46.200
<v Speaker 3>don't get to see Michael anymore. I only get to see

0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 3>him on Sundays when he comes in. And then you know,

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 3>the other thing is being of service, and that's what

0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:53.120
<v Speaker 3>we did. We started MVP out of here, our merging

0:31:53.200 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 3>best some players foundation. That really gets me through the

0:31:56.160 --> 0:31:58.680
<v Speaker 3>grade to see to see some blues being of service

0:31:58.680 --> 0:31:59.240
<v Speaker 3>to other people.

0:31:59.480 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 2>And he's along the way with that too.

0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:03.280
<v Speaker 4>You're gonna have to get us spot in New York

0:32:03.360 --> 0:32:05.520
<v Speaker 4>in the Upper West Side to kick it with Stray more.

0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:08.640
<v Speaker 2>We're going to know why he got freaking nineteen levels

0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:11.800
<v Speaker 2>of his place. That it's great when your friends make it,

0:32:12.360 --> 0:32:14.479
<v Speaker 2>fly on their planes, stay at their places.

0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:18.520
<v Speaker 3>We're good. That's fat, drink their tequila. It's fantastic.

0:32:19.600 --> 0:32:21.680

<v Speaker 2>Obviously we have to because of all the players and

0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:39.800
<v Speaker 2>athletes we trained there.

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:42.760
<v Speaker 3>But I'm really excited and a portion proceeds actually goes

0:32:42.800 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 3>to our our vets and players at MVP trying to

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:48.160
<v Speaker 3>build that build that team back up again.

0:32:48.400 --> 0:32:50.560
<v Speaker 2>We're in five cities, in five.

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:54.239
<v Speaker 3>Locations, and the number of success stories we've had of

0:32:54.240 --> 0:32:57.640
<v Speaker 3>our veterans that we've helped pull up out of homelessness,

0:32:57.680 --> 0:32:59.400
<v Speaker 3>out of suicide, out of.

0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Uh, just really bad situations in that transition.

0:33:04.040 --> 0:33:06.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm really proud of the lives that we've saved and

0:33:06.400 --> 0:33:11.200
<v Speaker 3>empowered and said they keep empowering me. Also, so keep

0:33:11.680 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 3>you know. You're we're nowt expanding out our our team

0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:17.760
<v Speaker 3>to be able to help, you know, with this GMC

0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 3>deal to hopefully we could expand in other cities.

0:33:20.000 --> 0:33:22.840
<v Speaker 4>You're doing God's work, Jay, Thanks, thank you, thank God.

0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:24.160
<v Speaker 5>How about we opened some dams.

0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it I'm in all.

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:33.880
<v Speaker 5>Right, let's see, how do we got here? What's the

0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:36.080
<v Speaker 5>most points you ever dropped in a game on someone?

0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:38.760
<v Speaker 1>So this is this is how you know that? Like

0:33:38.880 --> 0:33:41.800
<v Speaker 1>my ego is so big. It's my freshman year in

0:33:41.880 --> 0:33:46.080
<v Speaker 1>high school and I still remember this. Nineteen points. Your

0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:52.120
<v Speaker 1>girl was throwing up buckets and we're down three. There's

0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:55.240
<v Speaker 1>like forty seconds left to go, bringing up the rock

0:33:56.160 --> 0:33:59.640
<v Speaker 1>shoot at three in transition, get fouled. The girl and

0:33:59.720 --> 0:34:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I are john back and forth and think she pushes

0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:06.440
<v Speaker 1>me technical foul. Four free throws in a row to

0:34:06.520 --> 0:34:12.400
<v Speaker 1>seal the game ice water. I'll never forget. It was like,

0:34:12.520 --> 0:34:14.839
<v Speaker 1>definitely my best game I've ever had. My mom still

0:34:14.880 --> 0:34:16.719
<v Speaker 1>talks about it on holidays. I remember when you hit

0:34:16.719 --> 0:34:18.960
<v Speaker 1>those four free throws in a row, you were ice cold?

0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Then what happened? Uh?

0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:23.319
<v Speaker 5>All right, this is an interesting one. What are your

0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:26.840
<v Speaker 5>thoughts on the Raptors playing in Tampa and can you

0:34:26.880 --> 0:34:28.680
<v Speaker 5>see this as an expansion city?

0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:33.120
<v Speaker 1>What are the Raptors? Uh? What's the Raptors record right now?

0:34:33.680 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Do they have? I would say that's the Tampa effect.

0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I would say Tampa and people are going to disagree

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:47.560
<v Speaker 1>about this. Tampa's not a good sports city. I don't think.

0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a snowbird city. I think it's a

0:34:50.120 --> 0:34:53.080
<v Speaker 1>city that most of the people there are remarking Bob

0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Coosey's accomplishments, and they're not looking to see Fred van

0:34:57.320 --> 0:35:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Fleet shoot threes all day from thirty seven feet. I'm

0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:03.799
<v Speaker 1>not saying that the Raptors would ever move there. I

0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:06.120
<v Speaker 1>just don't think it's a great NBA city. Yes you've

0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:09.600
<v Speaker 1>got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Yes you've got the Lightning.

0:35:10.040 --> 0:35:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think it works for the NBA. I think,

0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:15.080
<v Speaker 1>especially you need to give a team back to Seattle

0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:20.200
<v Speaker 1>before you do fucking anything anywhere else. I agree, Okay,

0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I agree with that. I do.

0:35:22.160 --> 0:35:24.239
<v Speaker 5>I mean Tampa they're winning right now. But no, they

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:25.520
<v Speaker 5>don't deserve an NBA franchise.

0:35:25.560 --> 0:35:27.319
<v Speaker 1>They just don't. They just don't. They just don't.

0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:31.840
<v Speaker 5>Uh, this is a personal one. How many NBA players

0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:32.640
<v Speaker 5>have you slept with?

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:34.600
<v Speaker 1>So this is a great story.

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:35.480
<v Speaker 4>So zero.

0:35:36.040 --> 0:35:38.080
<v Speaker 1>So I got a I went to college with this

0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:41.480
<v Speaker 1>kid who ended up being in the front office of

0:35:41.520 --> 0:35:45.200
<v Speaker 1>one of the NBA squads. And he calls me and

0:35:45.239 --> 0:35:47.120
<v Speaker 1>he goes, hey, Tee, I know you're getting into media.

0:35:47.160 --> 0:35:49.440
<v Speaker 1>This is like when I was real baby in the media,

0:35:50.239 --> 0:35:52.400
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, hey, I just want to let you

0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:56.759
<v Speaker 1>know that if you fuck an NBA player, everyone's gonna know,

0:35:56.960 --> 0:35:59.799
<v Speaker 1>not just every NBA player, but every person on the

0:35:59.800 --> 0:36:03.320
<v Speaker 1>front office of all thirty teams is gonna know why

0:36:03.480 --> 0:36:06.200
<v Speaker 1>because these guys they just like, of course they want

0:36:06.239 --> 0:36:08.839
<v Speaker 1>to talk about taking down a media ho for sure, right,

0:36:08.880 --> 0:36:10.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's like an extra little like pin in their

0:36:11.320 --> 0:36:14.200
<v Speaker 1>leather jacket. So he tells me, if you want to

0:36:14.200 --> 0:36:18.200
<v Speaker 1>get information from us GMS, if you ever want to

0:36:18.239 --> 0:36:22.239
<v Speaker 1>be a newsbreaker, you will be persona non grata, that

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:24.319
<v Speaker 1>was his word. I was like, what does that mean?

0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:27.279
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, that means no one is to fuck

0:36:27.320 --> 0:36:30.120
<v Speaker 1>with you when it comes to legitimately taking you seriously

0:36:30.200 --> 0:36:33.560
<v Speaker 1>because you are a ho and not a professional. So

0:36:33.680 --> 0:36:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I never did it. And uh. He told me a

0:36:36.719 --> 0:36:40.240
<v Speaker 1>story about this media girl who's very prominent in the media,

0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and the security guard of one of the NBA teams

0:36:43.040 --> 0:36:47.239
<v Speaker 1>took her from one player's room to another player's room

0:36:47.920 --> 0:36:51.640
<v Speaker 1>in the same night. And those guys were co stars.

0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:54.640
<v Speaker 1>They knew about it. She knew about it, and you

0:36:54.680 --> 0:36:56.360
<v Speaker 1>can't unsee it. Once you've seen it, you know what

0:36:56.400 --> 0:36:58.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean? You see them together, she interviews them, and

0:36:58.320 --> 0:37:02.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like, oh, yeah, they fucked bad luck, super bad luck.

0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:04.759
<v Speaker 1>So I've never done it zero? All right?

0:37:04.960 --> 0:37:09.040
<v Speaker 5>Uh? Would you rather have a career like Charles Barkley

0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:14.319
<v Speaker 5>where you were multi time All NBA but never won

0:37:14.360 --> 0:37:16.799
<v Speaker 5>a championship or be a role player like ri and

0:37:16.840 --> 0:37:18.000
<v Speaker 5>wins seven plus?

0:37:18.239 --> 0:37:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Robert Ory, we won like seven titles Charles Barkley zero.

0:37:23.800 --> 0:37:26.120
<v Speaker 1>You know you may not know this about me, Mikey,

0:37:26.160 --> 0:37:29.520
<v Speaker 1>but I have a massive ego, like crazy. I mean here,

0:37:29.560 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm in here in a podcast studio about my fucking self.

0:37:32.000 --> 0:37:35.120
<v Speaker 1>So you know who it's gonna be, right, Like, Tk's

0:37:35.160 --> 0:37:38.399
<v Speaker 1>no role player. I'm not hitting quarter threes. I don't

0:37:38.440 --> 0:37:41.480
<v Speaker 1>care how many fucking rings I get. I want to

0:37:41.600 --> 0:37:46.720
<v Speaker 1>be transcendent pop culturally for the rest of my life,

0:37:47.000 --> 0:37:50.640
<v Speaker 1>like Charles Barkley. That is my goal to continue to

0:37:50.680 --> 0:37:54.360
<v Speaker 1>be relevant in the headlines causing drama with current NBA

0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:57.280
<v Speaker 1>players with zero rings?

0:37:57.640 --> 0:38:00.919
<v Speaker 5>Uh, do you consider Luca a top five player this year?

0:38:01.920 --> 0:38:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Bro? Come on, that's that? See what it is? Now?

0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:08.040
<v Speaker 1>You know what it is, isn't it? It's the recency

0:38:08.040 --> 0:38:11.759
<v Speaker 1>bias again. People are now people are now all in

0:38:11.800 --> 0:38:15.080
<v Speaker 1>on Luca. And what I'm gonna say is this hard

0:38:15.120 --> 0:38:17.400
<v Speaker 1>to be a top five player when everyone around you

0:38:17.719 --> 0:38:19.960
<v Speaker 1>is not good. And that's what's happening on the MAVs.

0:38:20.000 --> 0:38:22.640
<v Speaker 1>They're not gonna be good. I'm sorry they don't have

0:38:22.719 --> 0:38:26.560
<v Speaker 1>more three and D help. KP is probably gonna log

0:38:26.800 --> 0:38:30.960
<v Speaker 1>forty games Max. It's just not no, no, he's not.

0:38:31.200 --> 0:38:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't even think he's a top ten player right now.

0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:37.680
<v Speaker 1>That's facts. He's very close, but he's not. He's right there.

0:38:37.760 --> 0:38:40.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's funny to me every year, like whatever team

0:38:40.200 --> 0:38:42.360
<v Speaker 5>Josh Richardson goes to, everyone acts like he's going to

0:38:42.400 --> 0:38:43.120
<v Speaker 5>improve their teams.

0:38:43.160 --> 0:38:47.359
<v Speaker 1>So thank god you said that. Someone asked me that too.

0:38:47.400 --> 0:38:50.560
<v Speaker 1>They said, now that the MAVs have improved their three

0:38:50.560 --> 0:38:52.239
<v Speaker 1>and D and I was like, is that a Josh

0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Richardson comment, because he's he's not three and D. He's

0:38:55.719 --> 0:38:57.440
<v Speaker 1>he's what you would hope to be three and D.

0:38:57.640 --> 0:38:59.800
<v Speaker 1>But he is not good. Sorry Josh Richardson.

0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:06.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, much respect, Please subscribe. Okay, will Lebron James ever

0:39:06.239 --> 0:39:07.240
<v Speaker 5>win another MVP?

0:39:10.920 --> 0:39:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Great question from whoever asked that. I would say no,

0:39:16.120 --> 0:39:19.120
<v Speaker 1>because he's gonna have Anthony Davis on his team for

0:39:19.160 --> 0:39:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the rest of his career. You cannot win an MVP

0:39:22.640 --> 0:39:26.120
<v Speaker 1>right now as Lebron James the most dominant force we

0:39:26.160 --> 0:39:28.879
<v Speaker 1>have seen in a very, very long time with Anthony Davis,

0:39:28.920 --> 0:39:33.360
<v Speaker 1>who's the top five player, Because as Lebron has famously said,

0:39:33.600 --> 0:39:36.239
<v Speaker 1>are you really that valuable? You know who's going to

0:39:36.320 --> 0:39:39.520
<v Speaker 1>win an MVP? Another one, Steph Curry is gonna win

0:39:39.520 --> 0:39:42.960
<v Speaker 1>another MVP because right now he's the most valuable player

0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:47.359
<v Speaker 1>to his team. People have an MVP fatigue and for

0:39:47.400 --> 0:39:49.960
<v Speaker 1>some reason, they have a very short leash when it

0:39:49.960 --> 0:39:51.720
<v Speaker 1>comes to Lebron James.

0:39:53.320 --> 0:39:56.600
<v Speaker 5>You agree, I do, And yeah, the voter fatigue, I

0:39:56.640 --> 0:39:58.120
<v Speaker 5>think I think it has more to do with that.

0:39:58.160 --> 0:40:01.280
<v Speaker 5>The MVP has become more of who owns the headlines,

0:40:01.280 --> 0:40:04.440
<v Speaker 5>like who owns the story of who's MVP this season?

0:40:04.760 --> 0:40:08.520
<v Speaker 5>And Lebron almost never, you know, starts it off like that,

0:40:08.600 --> 0:40:10.720
<v Speaker 5>Like twenty fourteen I think was the last time Lebron

0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:13.040
<v Speaker 5>was like a serious MVP contender.

0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it almost has a life of its own, like

0:40:14.880 --> 0:40:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Heisman voting. Yeah, all of a sudden, you're like, oh,

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Devonte Smith is who we're choosing this year. Okay, it's

0:40:22.040 --> 0:40:25.080
<v Speaker 1>already pre ordained. I think it is preordained for Steph

0:40:25.120 --> 0:40:27.399
<v Speaker 1>Curry at this point. As long as the Warriors keep

0:40:27.400 --> 0:40:30.319
<v Speaker 1>winning and they make the playoffs, because they should not

0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:33.719
<v Speaker 1>make the playoffs, and he's doing the things that he's doing,

0:40:34.840 --> 0:40:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's his in the bag. And I think

0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:38.759
<v Speaker 1>voters love them some Steph Curry. They love it.

0:40:38.840 --> 0:40:41.920
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, then yeah, Steph Curry finally has a comeback story.

0:40:42.280 --> 0:40:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah crazy, yep. All right, that's all the time that

0:40:45.360 --> 0:40:48.000
<v Speaker 1>we have for this league, this league. Please remember to
