But before we 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.639 get into today's show and the wild NBA playoffs that 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.639 we've had so far, as we always do, let's talk 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.360 about what we're not going to talk about here is 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:49.040 what did not make today's show. What did not make 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.560 today's show is Nikola Jokiz. That's hard for me to believe. 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.640 I thinks are going to be in here somewhere because 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:57.960 he played well NFL stealing Christmas Day from the NBA. 0:02:58.080 --> 0:02:59.000 That didn't make the show. 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:03.079 And Ben said Lemmens' re injury when he never had 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.000 an actual injury that I saw one of the most 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:10.400 bizarre years of any Max athlete ever. That did not 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.840 make today's show. If you're new to the show, the 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.040 person you're about to hear from is my son Demanse. 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.560 He's kind of co host sidekit keeps. 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:18.000 Us moving along. 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.760 You're also, if you're watching, gonna see a clock that 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.160 I usually fail, but sometimes I keep to to try 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:24.880 to keep us moving. 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.680 All right, now, I will turn to you, Demanse. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.440 Demanse, I think I know where we're starting, but you 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:30.080 go ahead and. 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.120 Tell me there are we not starting? Yeah, the Nets 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:33.639 are down three to out to Boston. 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.240 Yeah, yes, you're very listen everyone, you know, a Demanse 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.960 is a Celtics fan is called ripped in our relationship 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.280 because I've never read the Celtics prior to this series. 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.280 Be they should know when people are hearing or seeing this, 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.200 the series is either over or they're down three to one. 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.760 We're recording a few hours before Game four, so as 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:53.720 we sit here at three to zero, we know in 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:55.640 your world it's either three to one or it was 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.000 a sweep of a go ahead. 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.880 Right, And Durant hasn't played very well, Oh you don't 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.800 say no, And these problems are much bigger than him. 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.080 Ben Simmons hasn't played a single minute. Yeah, Nash is 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:07.120 probably gonna get fired. 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:07.920 Yeah, as you should. 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.080 Yeah, and after a year of carrying the Nets, it 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.200 seemed like Durant is finally guessed. Yeah, but you know 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.599 you can't. You can't possibly put all this on Durant. 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.719 What's the situation? Okay, So here's the deal. This is 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.080 Kevin Durantworth's worst playoff series of his career. He was 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:24.560 nine of twenty four in Game one. 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.760 We all said he won't be that bad again, and 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.040 that was his best get. 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.400 Game two he was zero for ten in the second half. 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.240 Game three, he took one shot in the fourth quarter, 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.360 shooting thirty six percent from the field. There's the worst 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:41.160 playoff series he's ever but that to me, and that 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:45.400 is a story. But there is a bigger kind of 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.720 macro story that we are going to see throughout these 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.280 playoffs and then throughout the next few years of playoffs 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.719 that is going to snap something in the focus. And 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.800 that's what I want to focus on because what we 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.400 are going to find, doubt and what we are going 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:07.120 to see is every single one of our great players 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:12.039 in this league is going to fail to live up 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:17.280 to the false standard that was created for Lebron James. 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:18.680 And here's what I. 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:23.120 Mean, because what has happened in the media the last 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:28.080 decade is out of a thirst and a quest to 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:33.120 try to tear down Lebron. There were these false premises, 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:39.159 built false premises of all time greats never had bad 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:45.320 playoff awful playoff games, let alone awful playoff series. And 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.920 so Lebron to this day has twenty eleven still hung 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.360 around his neck. But that's that was a bad series 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.920 a decade of more than a decade. But since then, 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:03.600 every single year in the postseason the moment Lebron had 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.040 a forget a bad series, because since twenty eleven he 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.880 hasn't had a bad series, a bad game. 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:10.560 It was a referendum. 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.400 It was all, this is why Katie's better, this is 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:19.440 why he's not Michael. And now those chickens are coming 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:25.159 home to roost for everybody else's favorite guys. Because the 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:29.279 rules that the rules of engagement have been best player 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.800 in the league can't be bad in the series. And 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.320 guess what that's gonna end up with. There isn't gonna 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.360 be the best player in the league. It's just there's 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.280 gonna be everyone's gonna be ineligible. Jokic is gonna get 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:44.120 beaten five games. Giannis was awful in a series the 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.920 year before he won the title. Durant's been awful here. 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.160 We've seen Steph miss the playoffs and be bad in finals. 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:54.279 Who's left. Joel Embiid is playing well at the moment, 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:56.240 we'll see, but we've never seen him play in a 0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:00.520 conference finals. And so what has happened is there was 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:06.720 such a fake standard built in order to tear down 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:12.040 Lebron versus Michael Jordan, that now the guys that many 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.880 folks have wanted to elevate alongside, if not ahead of Lebron, 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.400 not in the all time pantheon, but in the contemporary pantheon, 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:26.240 they're realizing, oh, that that's an unrealistic standard. The idea 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.480 that Kevin Durant, who by the way, has lost seven 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.800 of his last eight playoffs, has lost five playoff games 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:34.080 in a row, was going to go his entire career 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:38.520 and never have a terrible series was unrealistic. But that's 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:39.920 the standard we were told. 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.560 The man's I know he's saying he's not tired, but 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:44.520 that the man is tired. 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.400 Obviously, the man's tired. And I've been talking about how 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.920 he's been playing forty minutes a game since March first. 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.480 How stupid that is, What a bad coaching job that 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.520 is by Nash. But he and credit Katie for not 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.400 using it as an excuse. But again, I want to 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:03.800 just emphasize this point. There have been a lot of 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:09.040 folks in my profession who have tried to argue for 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:13.560 various reasons, forget Lebron versus Jordan, but that, oh, Lebron 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.360 hasn't been the best player in the league in years, 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.480 that Durant was better than that Steph was better than 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.240 him for a couple of years, that Durant's been better 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:26.120 than him since the twenty seventeen finals had shot. 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:26.360 In his face. 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:34.120 But now what everyone is going to experience is realizing, Uh, 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:39.080 that standard demands you never have a bad game, let 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.360 alone a bad series, and no one in NBA history 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.760 lives up to it. Daream had bad series. People want 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.120 to pretend like Michael didn't go check the box scores. 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.840 Go check Michael going three for eighteen down oh two 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.000 after a nighty gambling in Atlantic City against the Knicks 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.480 and Scottie pittmanbale him out. Check Michael in the ninety 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.280 five semi finals against Orlando when he was the fourth 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.720 best player on the court. Check my Michael pre Pippin, 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.360 or in one of those Piston series with Pippin. Michael 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.200 had bad playoff series. Michael had bad playoff games. Giannis 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.040 has had awful playoff moments, Durant were in the middle 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.640 of it right now. With Durant, everybody's had him. Kobe 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.040 blew a three to one league. Kobe's zero four finals 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:22.280 were a disaster. But we have created this fake world 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.600 where no, no, no, the all time. If you're really 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.720 that guy, you don't have these So now what you're 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:31.960 either going to have to concede Okay, we were wildly 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.959 unfair to Lebron James, or we're just going to enter 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.440 a desert of greatness because nobody's going to live up 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.319 to the standard. If people don't think if he stays 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.480 in the playoffs long enough that Jason Tatum has a. 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.520 Five for twenty one in him, you're kidding yourself. 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:49.560 But now it's like, oh, Tatum's the next guy, he's 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.160 out playing, Dura's sinking. Okay, Tatum's got a bad game coming, Yannas. 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:54.400 I'm sure I'll have an awful game. 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:55.480 All of them will. 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.640 But we created a world where that's not allowed, and 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:03.520 so now now Durant is paying the penalty, so that, yes, 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.000 Durant's been awful. It's been odd to see these games. 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.839 The games one, two, and three were all close in 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.680 the fourth quarter. Game one it's his Nets have a 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.840 five point lead with four minutes left and they lose. 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:21.360 Game two, they have a it's tied with eight minutes left. 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.160 Game three, it's a five point game with eight minutes left. 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:28.360 All they needed was one great Durant quarter and it's 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.400 two to one. Two great Durant quarters and they're in the. 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.480 League, in the series. They didn't get it. 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.960 So, yes, this is a bad look for Durant, but 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.679 he's getting extra crushed because we've set the rules on 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.760 you must always be excellent at all times or else 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.240 you're not that guy. It's an unfair standard. All right, 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:50.480 what's next? Since there was a good seven minutes there, 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:50.920 go ahead. 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.640 You made a joke on Twitter saying straight up, trade 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:54.600 Kyrie for Russ. 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:59.600 Yeah, everybody loves reunions. Get Katie and Russ back together. 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.640 Get it was a joke for you Twitter folks. 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.760 While Lebron can probably make the play in am I 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.880 right if he's if he's got a third A list 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.880 star on the team with the vaccination and COVID stuff, 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.000 hopefully being behind us, wouldn't teams be lined up to 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:16.880 max out Kyrie if the Nets don't. 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.400 Oh, I mean you want to give Kyrie Irving four 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.679 or five years max money. That's one of the wildest 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.360 decisions anyone's ever made. 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:24.400 The better question. 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:28.040 So no, I would a lot of teams be lining up. No, 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.959 all it takes is a few though, yes, of course 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.000 somebody would. There are a number of teams that would 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.360 love to have Kyrie Irving right. The question is would 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:37.280 he loved to go there? 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.000 Right? And do you want the baggage? 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:44.000 And and to me, I've said this and again. I've 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.240 been wrong on a few things on this show and 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:51.240 on the TV show, but I have nailed the fraudulent 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.439 teams of the NBA better than any of my colleagues. 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:58.080 For four years running, everyone was all over the Clippers. 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.440 I told you the Nuggets would beat him back with nuggets. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:01.040 Fans love me. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.320 The only person in the world that picked the Clippers 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.720 losing round two said it all your long, nuggets feed him. 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:07.480 I was right on the nets last year. I was 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.120 right on the nets this year. And the Kyrie thing 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:16.600 I've been right on the juice is not worth the squeeze. 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.079 At the very least, what Kyrie Irving is supposed to 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.480 give you is instant, unguardable offense that hasn't existed since 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.920 he stopped flipping fans. He's been bad in Game two, 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.080 bad in Game three. Again, we're not maybe he'll explode today. 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:36.040 Ram Okay, Okay, Well that's well, all right, that was 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.640 maybe an unfair shot. That might be Demonse's first unfair 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:43.160 shot at anybody. Hey, let's not. Let's not bring anyone's 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:48.760 the personal beliefs. Oh, you're saying to be disrespectful. 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:51.160 During Ramanan. 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.800 Okay, that's fair, because you're you're not supposed to furst 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:54.439 during Ramanan? 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.000 That is true. Did you know I once fasted during 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:58.040 Ramanon in high school? 0:12:58.520 --> 0:12:59.000 Did you know that? 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.640 Because my best friend was more, I did it? Slidary, 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.120 That's definitely a lie. I swear to God, you fast. 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.559 Problem is, I don't know if I made it the 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.080 whole time. But yeah, absolutely. 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.199 My basketball teammate was most of my past with him 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:12.920 neither here nor there. 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.640 Let me finish the Kyrie point because we are going 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:16.400 to go a little long. 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:22.880 Sorry, boys. So Kyrie Irving has not had a single 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:29.880 relevant postseason moment after Round one since twenty seventeen. That's 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:33.720 a half decade. It's a half decade where he hasn't 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.680 played in a game after round two, and he hasn't 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.640 been good in a game after round one. Like, that's 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:44.800 a problem, a massive tripling problem. The deal, though, for 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.400 the Nets is even if you don't want to trust him, 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:51.160 you can't let him walk. They're so screwed. We can 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.920 talk more nets long term future. But no, if I 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:57.000 were a GM, I wouldn't trust Kyrie Irving with a 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.839 four year maximum or a five year maximum extension. But 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:01.680 someone will give it to him. All right, what's the next? 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:02.120 That was? 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:03.440 By the way, we're already out of time. We have 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:04.600 two topics left. What's the next? 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.680 The Pelicans took Game four from the Suns. Yeah, the 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.240 world has been dying to root for CP three, but 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.360 he had four points in thirty five minutes. 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:13.280 Yeah, you get a bad game. 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.680 D Book may need another few weeks with his injury. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.800 Does Chris Paul have terrible luck? Or can we finally 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:21.120 say that he's overrated? 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.000 He's not overrated. No, we cannot finally say that again 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:29.000 the Durant Lebron corollary, Oh, you have bad games, suck now. 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:30.560 Chris Paul's bad game was really bad. 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:34.280 Point I understand, but he's also point guard. Scoring is 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.560 not what he tries to do most of the time. 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:38.880 I think he's still out of eleven assists, but he 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.400 was He played perfect point guard in games one and 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.840 three and they needed that to win. He was bad 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:48.160 in game four. He's not overrated, but bad luck is true. 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:49.520 I mean, you know that. 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:50.080 I thought the. 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.200 MAVs could beat them with a healthy Devin Booker. Devin 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.800 Booker's out, They're not there. I think they are drawing 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.160 dead to beat the Mavericks. Now They're gonna beat the 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.560 Pelicans no matter what. So I don't think they're in 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.240 actual trouble this series, but next series of Booker's not there, 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.920 Luca will dice them up. 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:07.840 All right, what's last? 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.200 We could talk Warriors Nuggets only if you promised to 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.400 not make it about jo Kics credit. 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.400 Yogics played a good game until the very end when 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.080 they started hunting him on defense and they took them 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:20.480 out of the offense seven substitution. 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.080 That's odd for an MVP, but Yogics played really well. 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.000 Go ahead, So Golden State obviously won't get the sweep, 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.480 but Yo can save the Nuggets with a thirty seven 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.480 point performance. But the Warriors are looking like a championship 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.840 team again, Draymond's feeling like himself. 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.240 Yeah, uh, Curry is still. 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:36.760 Not one hundred percent. 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.040 But if Steph wins another title without Katie, maybe top ten. 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:46.120 All time, Top ten, Top ten all times again. The 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:50.240 thing with with top tens is there's only ten people on. 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.680 So I don't want to spoil the fifty best players 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.760 of the last fifty years. But let's just give some 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:01.600 names in no particular order, Okay, And I'm gonna give 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:06.160 a dozen names, and then we're gonna find in order 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:07.240 for Curry to be top. 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.360 Ten, one of those guys got to move out. 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.240 Three of them have to move out, Okay, three of them? 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:16.040 Yeah, math is hard, Okay, So here's a dozen names. 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.720 We'll start with those super old timers, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:27.520 Kareem Lebron, Michael Magic. Okay, so there's six guys that 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.640 are obviously not moving out. Now we only there's only 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:34.000 room for three more guys, But there's six, right tim 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.920 duncan he five rings? His two? He went to seven 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.320 finals or six finals? Pardon me, Kobe. 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:46.040 Bryant, Shaquille O'Neill a, Keem Olajuan. 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:47.560 We're already at ten. 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:49.360 You might have said the keem already. 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:54.400 No, no, no, I definitely didn't say I'll do it. Russell, Wilt, Magic, 0:16:54.880 --> 0:17:05.480 Michael Lebron Kareem. I said, kareem is what you would think, Bird, Kobe, Duncan, 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:07.400 shack a keem. 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:08.520 Now we're at eleven. 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.840 We have not mentioned Doctor J or Moses Malone. Find 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.919 let's move him ahead of them. Then there's Kevin Durant. 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:19.840 So the point is this, even if he's better than Durant, 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.320 which he's making the case for Doctor J and Moses, 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:25.920 give it to him. I'm not sure if I will, 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:35.520 but give it to him. There is still shack a keem, Bird, Duncan, Kobe. 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.000 You got to take two of those guys out, two 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.159 of them out the step to be top ten, you 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.000 got to take two of them out. My buddy Bill 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.320 Simmons has been saying. And by the way, that's without 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.120 having Oscar Robertson or Jerry West in there. Take them 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:50.040 out too. The only super old timers we have are 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:53.400 Wilton Russell. If you, my buddy Bill Simmons been calling 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.600 Katie a top ten all time guy for a month. Now, 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:58.480 I just want to know what the top ten is. 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.320 I just know, I'm series. I just want to know, 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.240 are we kicking Larry Bird out? Are you kicking Kobe 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.920 Bryan out? Are we kicking a Keem or Shock out? 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.560 Now some would say a key okay, even if you 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.679 kick a Keem out. It was Steph Curry better than 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:12.560 Shaquille O'Neill. 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:15.840 That's two totally different players. 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:16.400 I understand. 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.360 I guess it's like what they did for their teams. 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:22.080 But the problem with ten person lists is there's only 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.400 room for ten guys. And by the way, a name 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:30.560 I didn't mention who might have a in six weeks 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:34.280 here A really legitimate shot argument he should be at 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.840 a lot of them is Yannis didn't even mention Giannis 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:42.879 so top ten all time. That's a tough putt, better 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:46.520 than Durant all time. That might be in progress. That 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:48.880 was a twenty minute dy block, and I said I'd 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:49.560 hit the clock. 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.720 I'm terrible at that.

Maybe I'll get this segment done in 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.280 eight minutes. We're gonna start with I think a discussion 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.560 of Marquis Demons. Go right ahead. 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:48.280 Deebo surely seems like he's done with San Francisco. Yeah, 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:52.240 we all found this out via a nightclub marquee on Instagram. 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:52.720 Uh huh. 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:54.959 Yeah, seems like the Jets are willing to give up 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:57.440 pakes for him. But who will be worse. 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.960 Off when Diebo is no longer in the Shanahan office 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:01.639 Diebo or Shanahan. 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:04.480 Oh, I think Debo would be I think listen, I 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.240 think the Niners. This would hurt them. 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:08.040 He is a. 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:10.760 Perfect weapon for them in the way Kyle Shannan likes 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.560
