00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 6: at LeVar Arrington, and at Fox Sports Radio running Backs,

78
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 6: Plex running Backs running Backs Bo tell us the latest

79
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 6: Joe Mixing the latest running back to basically be a

80
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 6: casualty of being a running back? What's what's the latest

81
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 6: on that? And think I do believe Austin Eckler had

82
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 6: some some strong words to say about it as well.

83
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 7: So, yeah, yesterday, Joe Mixon is the latest running back

84
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 7: to kind of redo his contract. Ian Rappaport of the

85
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 7: NFL Network has the details. Basically, Mixing took a four

86
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 7: point four point four million dollar pay cut this year

87
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 7: and a four point seven million dollar pay cut next year.

88
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 7: His twenty twenty three base salary is five point five

89
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 7: to one. He can make an extra two million in

90
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 7: incentives and he now can possibly stay with the team

91
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 7: next year. But yeah, he did take a pay cut

92
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 7: to remain in Cincinnati.

93
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: That's a haircut, not a pay cut.

94
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 6: So before you before you comment on this, here's what

95
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 6: Austin Eckler had to say about the state of running backs.

96
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 5: It's gonna take something, right, whether some guy stands out again,

97
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 5: whether it's this year or some you know, one of

98
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 5: these guys holds out and get the big contract. But

99
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 5: we need that needle to move to push us over

100
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 5: the edge. Because here's the deal. The salary cap goes

101
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 5: out every single year, right, and so you see new

102
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 5: highs in every single position. And I'm not saying we've

103
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 5: had another Christian McCaffrey type guy who's gonna even you know,

104
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 5: blow up the market and the running back and put

105
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 5: a new high. We've had people that have.

106
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 3: Been closed for sure.

107
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 5: Maybe you could justify that there has been, but there's

108
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 5: no one even been close to those contracts, not even close.

109
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 3: M where's that sound from bo rich Eisen? So? All right?

110
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 6: We got so that was Austin Eckler on the rich

111
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 6: eisend soho plex and it just sounds like it's a

112
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 6: very very dramatic and just very very turbulent time for

113
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 6: the running back position. Do you do you agree with

114
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 6: what what Eckler is saying in terms of it's just

115
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 6: gonna take somebody who can move the needle and get

116
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 6: that that blockbuster deal.

117
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 3: Man.

118
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 4: I agree with him one hundred percent. I've been an

119
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 4: advocate and speaking about the trend that's been going on

120
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 4: for the past couple of years with the running backs,

121
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 4: and he's exactly right. And you look, you look at

122
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 4: Joe Mixon and he basically cutting salary in half, but

123
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 4: he can make two million dollars in incentives to just

124
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 4: stay with the to just stay with the team, And

125
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: that doesn't help the Austin Ecklers of the world, or

126
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 4: the Josh Jacobs and the Tony Paula's and the and

127
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 4: the sa Kwan Barkley's because all it all it's really doing,

128
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 4: is what Christian mccraffley said a month ago, is that

129
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 4: they're just devaluing the position with some of the moves

130
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 4: that they made. Listen, I understand that it's business, but

131
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 4: to go from a nine million dollar salary down to

132
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 4: a five million dollars, that's basically they cutting your salary

133
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 4: in half. And I know that Cincinnati is a very

134
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 4: good football team that he wants to remain on, but

135
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: at some point in time, that's like Austin Eckler says,

136
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 4: somebody don't have to stand up and say, listen, we

137
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 4: cannot continue to go out there and give these teams

138
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: this kind of production and not be paid accordingly. And

139
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 4: if you look at Austin eckler stats and what he's

140
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 4: been able to do over the past few years, man,

141
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 4: his stats are basically similar to what Christian McCaffrey has

142
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 4: been able to do over the past few years. And

143
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: I just you just just mind boggling how these teams

144
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: and these organizations what's happening at the position. But at

145
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 4: the same time, man, the business side of it, these

146
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: NFL teams are going to continue to get the best

147
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 4: players at the lowest price that they possibly can. And

148
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 4: it just happens to be at the running back position.

149
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 4: And it's just taken away from from the great players

150
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: that deserve it. And now we're sitting here looking at

151
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 4: a situation where you know, Joe Showing and the general

152
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 4: manager from the New York Giants, they have to get

153
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: a deal done by Monday. If they think Saquan right,

154
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 4: it's going to play in the opening game against Dallas

155
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 4: on Sunday Night Football. And listen, I talked to Saquan

156
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 4: last week, and he's basically at a position where, listen,

157
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 4: he wants to be compensated for what he thinks he deserves.

158
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 4: He's not trying to break the market or set the market.

159
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: He just wants to be paid what he thinks he

160
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 4: deserves and that's the best way for him to go

161
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: about it. But you know, Joe Shawan going into a

162
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 4: second year as a GM, they have to find a

163
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 4: way to get this deal done Monday by four o'clock

164
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: to get him a long term deal and not sign

165
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: a franchise tag because listen, if they don't get him

166
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 4: signed Monday, I don't think we're going to see him

167
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 4: suit up Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys in Giant Stadium.

168
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 4: How big of a deal is that If he doesn't

169
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 4: shoot out, man, it really doesn't give the Giants a

170
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 4: chance to win. I mean, you look at Dallas defense

171
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 4: and what they've been able to bring to the table.

172
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 4: They're going to continue to get better. And he's the

173
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 4: best player on the team. Man, take care of your

174
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 4: best players. And it's not like the kid. He's a

175
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 4: great kid. Man, And you just don't understand why and

176
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 4: how these teams will look at a guy like sau

177
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 4: and he's basically your whole entire offense, and he makes

178
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones better and he when you don't have him

179
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 4: in the backfield, it just takes away from the whole

180
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 4: entire offense. And plus you don't want to have this

181
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 4: guy sitting at home being the scruntled and be like, listen,

182
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 4: they don't even want me, really want me.

183
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 3: They don't really want me.

184
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: And that's not a bad that's not good for anybody,

185
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 4: giants or him. But they got to get this deal done.

186
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 4: If they not, I don't think we'll see him for

187
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 4: the first couple of weeks.

188
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: Wow. Wow. All right, So here's my take on it.

189
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 6: While I agree with what Austin Eckler is saying, while

190
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 6: I agree with what you're saying, you see outliers, right,

191
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 6: Like McCaffrey got his sixteen million. That's what Saquon asked

192
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 6: for for sixteen million, I believe, And they don't want

193
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 6: to give them to sixteen. I think they offered them thirteen.

194
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 6: I believe. I think it was fourteen. They offered him fourteen. Yeah,

195
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 6: and that would have been up from what from ten

196
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 6: I believe something to that effect, Right, if he's not

197
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 6: trying to reset the market, but he's trying to get.

198
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 3: What he's valued at.

199
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 6: Do we place Saquon in the same category as what

200
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 6: McCaffrey is.

201
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 4: I believe that he is from a performance standpoint from

202
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 4: being productive on the football field. I believe that it is.

203
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 4: But we don't really know the the you know, the

204
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 4: contract is. Was it not enough guaranteed money or it

205
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 4: sounds like to me the annual base sally was there.

206
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 4: They offered fourteen, but we don't know what to guaranteed

207
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 4: money was. Yeah, that's offer. That is fair.

208
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 6: I just I just think that if they offered you

209
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 6: fourteen and you were trying to get sixteen, are we

210
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 6: really like and listen? I mean, I'm you know, I'm

211
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 6: pro Saquon all day for obvious reasons. But if you're

212
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 6: at fourteen and they're saying, Okay, this is the best

213
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 6: offer we're going to give you, and we're going to

214
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 6: take it off the table. If you don't take this

215
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 6: and you're at fourteen and you asked for sixteen, I mean, plex.

216
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: I mean, am I wrong?

217
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 6: At at age forty five, I'm sitting here and I'm

218
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 6: just being honest. If that's my son. I'm telling my

219
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 6: son taking we're taking this contract, and the reason why

220
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 6: we're taking this contract is we're going to do what

221
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 6: we need to do with how you invest in yourself

222
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 6: and take care of your your coins and your pennies

223
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 6: and your nickels and your dimes, and you're going to work.

224
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: We're gonna work like we'll do what we need to do.

225
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 6: Sometimes you got to look at your value and understand

226
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 6: that your value is betting on yourself and knowing that

227
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 6: you can create and generate your own value within a business.

228
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 6: If I'm at fourteen million, if I'm at fourteen million,

229
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 6: I'm not so sure.

230
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 3: Don't I don't take that deal.

231
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 6: But then I had that conversation with with the organization saying, listen,

232
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 6: I've had I've been here, I've had two productive years.

233
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 6: I've had I've had two years where I've been injured.

234
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 6: You base what you do off of what have you

235
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 6: done for me lately, and what I've done for you

236
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 6: lately is been a catalyst for this team winning.

237
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: If you want to use.

238
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 6: My health history as as a reason for having a

239
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 6: little bit of trepidation or a pause on doing this,

240
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 6: then let's get this done.

241
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 3: Let's make it a short term deal.

242
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 6: Let's make it a short term deal, and let's revisit

243
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 6: it and make that short term deal worthwhile. If it's

244
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 6: if it's not, if it's not a good enough long

245
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 6: term deal. I mean the ten million at the salary

246
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 6: or at the franchise tag, I feel like that's too low.

247
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 6: So it's not there's not a sweet spot here for

248
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 6: a runner. You're saying, fourteen is the medium. Basically, that's

249
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 6: what it sounds like. That's what it sounds like. And

250
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 6: if they if they offered you fourteen million, and that's

251
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 6: too off, two million off from where where McCaffrey is,

252
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 6: Like you said, I don't know what the guarantees are

253
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 6: within what they're offering him, and how feasible it is

254
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 6: for him to get to the fourteen million a year.

255
00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 6: But if it's close, if the contract reads like let's

256
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 6: just say for the sake of discussion, the contract reads

257
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 6: the same exact way that Christian mccaffreyes reads and he's

258
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 6: getting fourteen million, I'm taking that deal.

259
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 3: I'm taking that deal. Yeah, And there's other ways around it.

260
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 4: Just like when Joe Mixon restructured this contract, he gets

261
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 4: two million dollars probably easy to reach incentives. Give sakuon

262
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: two million dollar roster bonus or workout bonus or whatever

263
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: or whatever it may be to help him to get

264
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 4: to sixteen million.

265
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, well we'll see how that all plays out. But

266
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 6: like you said, clock is ticking. You know who else

267
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 6: is clock is ticking?

268
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: Lebron James, Lebron James.

269
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, he had an announcement to make. I don't know

270
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 6: if y'all heard it, but we'll talk about it, and well,

271
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 6: what was our opinions on that? I mean, you know,

272
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 6: you know it was the anniversary of the decision. Anyway,

273

305

309
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,840

310
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 6: been being debated and discussed. We do know he kind

311
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 6: of said he didn't know after they lost the series,

312
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 6: but to the Nuggets. But I mean, let's be clear,

313
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 6: I mean we I think we all knew what we knew,

314
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 6: and he made it official, he announced that he's not retiring.

315
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 6: But my biggest question here is was that was that corny?

316
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 3: Was it? Was? It? Was that a Was that a

317
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 3: lame move?

318
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 6: I mean, does it like, yeah, it matters if he's

319
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 6: coming back, but he could could he have just told

320
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 6: everybody and the Lakers organization I'm coming back and and

321
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 6: just kind.

322
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 3: Of left it at that.

323
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying. So did it did it matter

324
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 6: for him to come out in publicly? And listen, you

325
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 6: got to be a big ass star in the grand

326
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 6: scheme of things for this to even be a topic.

327
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 6: But I mean, let's be clear, he caught a lot

328
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 6: of flak and a lot of heat. You know, he

329
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 6: caught a lot of a lot of for doing the decision. Now,

330
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 6: this wasn't quite like the decision, not at all. But

331
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 6: I mean, he did do it on a large platform

332
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 6: and he let people know he was coming back.

333
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 4: I mean, how did you take it. I really don't

334
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 4: see what the fuss is about. I don't see what

335
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 4: the problem is. I think that a lot of people

336
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 4: wanted the story.

337
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 3: They wanted to be.

338
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 4: It happened, his decision, happened on live television again, and

339
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 4: it took us back to the to the whole Miami

340
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 4: Heat thing when he made the decision on National International TV.

341
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 4: And you know, it was a whole big deal, a

342
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 4: whole big deal for him joining the Miami Heat. But

343
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 4: I just think that people had a problem with it

344
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 4: because they wanted to be a story and somebody wanted

345
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 4: the story, but not just to come out live in

346
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 4: the setting that he did and announced it in front

347
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 4: of everybody. But I just don't see what the problem

348
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 4: is with him saying that. Listen, he just said a

349
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 4: month ago to Mark Malone that the sun is I'm

350
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 4: the sun. He's ever gonna shine and he's the all

351
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 4: time leading scorer in NBA history, And everybody knew that

352
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 4: when he got swept by the Denver Nuggets that he

353
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 4: was coming back for another season.

354
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 3: He's not going out like that. We all know that.

355
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 4: And he does still have a lot to give to

356
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 4: the game of basketball. He's not he's not the best

357
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 4: player in the world anymore, but I would say he's

358
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 4: still a top ten player in this league.

359
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 3: So why would you retire and walk.

360
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 4: Away when he can still you know, get up, get

361
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 4: up and down the court pretty good. You know, he

362
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 4: can give you twenty five thirty points. But I just

363
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 4: don't see what the problem is with everybody with the

364
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 4: decision that he made. I just think that, you know,

365
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 4: people wanted the story for themselves and to have it

366
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 4: be a bigger, you know, story than it was with

367
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 4: him announcing it at the Espies.

368
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 6: All right, So, and he gave some I think he

369
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 6: gave some clear, concise reasons as to why he's staying

370
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 6: and why he hasn't left yet, And I kind of

371
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 6: I thought it was kind of dope, to be honest.

372
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 6: Here's what he had to say. Here's the SoundBite. If

373
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 6: you didn't get a chance to hear it.

374
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 8: I don't care how many more points I score or

375
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 8: what I can and cannot do on the floor. The

376
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 8: real question for me is can I play without cheating

377
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 8: this game. The day I can't give the game everything

378
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 8: on the floor is the day I'll be done. Lucky

379
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 8: for you guys, that day is not today. I mean

380
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 8: lucky for you guys. And they clapped. So you talk

381
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 8: like that, Lebron James, he knows his audience. I'll tell

382
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 8: you that. I mean, he'd let him know.

383
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 6: I'm driving to put these two feet down, these ten

384
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 6: toes and I'm gonna get to work again. So I listen,

385
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 6: there's there's always two sides to every coin. I don't

386
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 6: I don't know that MJ had another side that was

387
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 6: as hateful towards him as Lebron James does. And listen,

388
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 6: it's a different day and age, it's a different time.

389
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 6: So I get that social media has transformed the way

390
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 6: UH fans handle things. It's, you know, the social media

391
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 6: UH seen as such a negative cesspool of just just

392
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 6: people that just seem to hate their lives and and

393
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 6: and hate others and just hate hate everything, and and

394
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 6: they have a platform to be able to tell people

395
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 6: direct that they hate it or they hate them or

396
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 6: whatever it may be. So maybe that's, you know, the

397
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 6: symptom that that Lebron has to deal with on the

398
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 6: other side of how much some people hate him. I've

399
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 6: even been accused of being a Lebron James hater. I'm

400
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 6: far from a Lebron Lebron James hater. I don't hate

401
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 6: him just because I think that is the greatest player

402
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 6: of all time. I would just say that I think

403
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 6: that MJ is the greatest basketball player of all time,

404
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 6: and that's my discussion point on it. But you know,

405
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 6: I think that Lebron James has done an excellent job

406
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 6: of continuing to pull the NBA forward and keeping them relevant.

407
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 6: You know, now you got the entry of Winbin Yama

408
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 6: into the league. They need They need Lebron James the NBA,

409
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 6: that is. I believe they need Lebron James to give

410
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 6: them at least enough time for the NBA to figure

411
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 6: out who is going to be the next person or

412
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 6: people that can actually continue to drive this game mainstream

413
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 6: and internationally continue to drive it forward.

414
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do.

415
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 6: I don't is there another personality and I don't know

416
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 6: that Winbin Yama is the personality to go with the

417
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 6: talent that Lebron James is.

418
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 4: I wouldn't speak I wouldn't say that from a personality standpoint,

419
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 4: But I would say from a standpoint of playing basketball

420
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 4: that I believe that, you know, we have some guys

421
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 4: that can, you know, continue to you know, carry the torch.

422
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 4: And you know Yannis and Joker, and you still have

423
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 4: Steph Curry and those guys out in Golden State.

424
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 3: So I don't believe that.

425
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 4: You've got a Steph Curry, And I don't believe that

426
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 4: the NBA isn't a bad and in a bad state.

427
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 4: If Lebron continued, If if Lebron Leon chooses to retire

428
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 4: next year, Joel embiid, I mean, we have some guys

429
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 4: that can carry the league.

430
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 6: I don't know, man, and I say, talent wise, yes,

431
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 6: you got Joker. It's it's horrible to look at like

432
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 6: You don't look at Joker and feel it's horrible to

433
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 6: look at it. It's horrible to look at like those.

434
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 6: It's boring to look at how's it boring? Joker's game

435
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 6: is born, Joker points game about fascinating, twenty assists, and

436
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 6: you don't see his.

437
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 3: Game is fascinating.

438
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 4: He literally to look at him, don't you say to yourself,

439
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 4: how in the hell does he have to a man

440
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 4: of his stature, continue to dominate at the level that

441
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 4: he does A.

442
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 6: Plax, you be ten seconds into the game, he already

443
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 6: got ten points.

444
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 3: Yea, I'm I don't see watching the.

445
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 4: Playoffs and the man, damn they had a triple double

446
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 4: in the first quarter.

447
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't, I don't. I don't. How's that boring? Yeah,

448
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 3: I don't. It's it's boring because I can't see it.

449
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: They play an exciting brand of basketball.

450
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 6: Ju Murray and Paul Murray's exciting to watch play because

451
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 6: you can see on.

452
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 4: The same team.

453
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 6: I can't just single him out and say, oh, the

454
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 6: joke is boring to watch.

455
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 3: He is born watch what is? What is? Yannis isn't

456
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: boring to watch.

457
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 6: But I think they're starting to figure out just just

458
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 6: don't let Yannis get to the to the to the cup,

459
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 6: you know, like, just just make them beat from the outside.

460
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 3: He needs to involve his game a little bit. I

461
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: understand that.

462
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 6: And and to that point, I think Jannis is a

463
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 6: great personality, But is he the personality that can carry

464
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 6: the league.

465
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 3: John Morant look like he might.

466
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 6: Have been able to head into the like almost like

467
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 6: like the still the like the the AI version. Yeah,

468
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 6: I don't disagree with that. I don't disagree with that,

469
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 6: but I mean, he's going to have to grow up

470
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 6: if he's going to be that type of a guy

471
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 6: to that type of this type of a corporation. Who

472
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 6: else are we talking about? Joel Embiid. That's a no.

473
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 3: You know, he's just not That's what he's said.

474
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 6: We're talking about mega stars that are going to drive

475
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 6: this game forward. Those are not the type of mega

476
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 6: stars that of Michael Jordan or Lebron James are.

477
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 3: They're like not that.

478
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 6: If Lebron James and Michael Jordan are the standard of

479
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 6: the type of players that have driven this game and

480
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 6: carried this game forward, there's not one person in the

481
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 6: NBA right now?

482
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: Are you not mentioning Stephen Curry because it's because he's six?

483
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 3: No.

484
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 6: I did give Stephans props when you said him the

485
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 6: first time I did.

486
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 4: He's six and he doesn't have the stature of a

487
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan and a Lebron James.

488
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 3: I'll say this, who I probably had.

489
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 6: He probably had more of an impact on the NBA,

490
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 6: in the basketball game as a whole, more than probably

491
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 6: any other player that's played.

492
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: Thank you very much that I'm not debating that now.

493
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 4: I believe what it's all said and done that Steph

494
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 4: Curry will be the all time leading score in NBA history.

495
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 3: Oh oh wow, he's only in what he's eleven twelve

496
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: year If he.

497
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 4: If he continues to score at the rate that he's scoring,

498
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 4: and he plays eighteen nineteen years, like Lebron James, he

499
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 4: will be the all time leading scoring NBA history.

500
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 6: Look at where he's at right now. I don't, I don't.

501
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 6: I don't have a problem with it.

502
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: I don't have a problem with that.

503
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 6: That that's a lot of so when you say Lebron James

504
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 6: and Michael jordan nobody talks about Steph curk because in

505
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 6: the manner that he's doing it in, it's not that,

506
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 6: oh my gosh, he just dunked on so and so,

507
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 6: and it's not going through the land that the final

508
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 6: switching from the right hand.

509
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 3: The game has changed.

510
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 6: But you know what, Lebron James and Kobe Bryant and

511
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 6: Michael Jordans, they built that larger than life persona off

512
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 6: of the style and the charisma and the way they

513
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 6: played the game and the things that they did off

514
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 6: of the court. That's what that's what So the game

515
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 6: has changed somewhat. But if you get a guy that

516
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 6: comes into the league and can do the things that

517
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 6: Lebron James has done historically, what Kobe has done historically,

518
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 6: what Michael Jordan has done historically, that's that's a guy

519
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 6: that can get to the rim like a Yiannis, a

520
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 6: guy that can shoot some j's and and show like

521
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 6: a mid range game, but show an excitement that you

522
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 6: can get excited about.

523
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 3: And that's a Jahn Morrant. I think that's a Jahn Morant.

524
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 6: And he seems to have the personality, but he's got

525
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 6: to grow up if he's going to be that large

526
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 6: of a figure where he could transition, like I would

527
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 6: make him comparable, Like he's a comp to AI, And

528
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 6: you know what, AI was revolutionary and evolutionary to the

529
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 6: NBA and to the game. AI had an impact on

530
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 6: and off the courts as basically an iconic legendary figure.

531
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 6: I think John Morant has that type of sweat. I

532
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 6: don't think he's a Lebron or Kobe or Mike, but

533
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 6: I do think that he is that that other like

534
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 6: that other, that other star.

535
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 4: I can see John Moritt winning the m V P

536
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 4: one day.

537
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: I can see that. I can see. I believe he's

538
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 3: that good of a player. I don't disagree with that.

539
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't disagree with that at.

540
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 6: All, But I will say he's he's got to learn

541
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 6: to be an m v P off the off the

542
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 6: court as well.

543
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 3: He's got to be an m v P off the court.

544
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 4: I can't believe we actually agree on something basketball related.

545
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know, I'm just saying. I'm just say

546
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 3: I was watching the Summer League.

547
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 6: There's a lot, like you know what's interesting, plex there

548
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 6: are a lot of really really gifted and talented players

549
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 6: that are coming into the league, like a lot. I

550
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 6: mean that the skill level, the talent level of these

551
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 6: players is pretty profound, and I think it's going to

552
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 6: be in in in like real like real time, real regard.

553
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 6: It's going to be harder for guys to separate themselves

554
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 6: to be a mega star with the amount of talent

555
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 6: and the type of talent that's coming into the league.

556
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 4: That's gonna be hard enough. Man, it is really getting tough.

557
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 4: If you look at some of those draft pick these

558
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 4: you know, a Men Thompson and the Stoop Twin brothers

559
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 4: that went five and six. What about their family life

560
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 4: changed like back to back. I mean that was just

561
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 4: that was just sick men. But just piggyback off what

562
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 4: you said. Man, watching this NBA Summer League and it's

563
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 4: only what thirteen fourteen slots on the NBA team, it

564
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 4: is tough, man, because everybody is trying to get to

565
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 4: be that next Lebron James, just like you said, Steph Curry,

566
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 4: Kobe Bryant, and the talent level is just it's unforgiving,

567
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 4: and you have to be really good these days to

568
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 4: make an NBA roster. And you look at these these

569
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 4: guys in the summer league. What are these guys? Are

570
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 4: they all rookie's or G league players and there's no

571
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 4: guarantee that they're going to make an NBA roster.

572
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 3: I mean, it's correct.

573
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 4: It happens every summer, and you have to be at

574
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 4: your best in a short period of time to get

575
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 4: recognized by the head coach and that organization to put

576
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 4: you on that roster. And it's probably already nine or

577
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 4: ten guys that are slotted on the NBA roster before

578
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 4: you even get there. And now you competing with another

579
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 4: thirteen or fourteen guys on a summer league team to

580
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 4: make that five slot roster on the NBA team man,

581
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 4: and it is it is getting tough.

582
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

583
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 6: And then you got a Lebron James who's turning fifty

584
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 6: years old that that's still able to get up and

585
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 6: down the court. Don fifty there, he's not really turning

586
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 6: fifty years old. And neither is our man, Isaac lowin

587
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 6: Krown because he's.

588
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 3: A backwards baby. Let's get a trend date. What you got?

Speaker 9: The first unseated woman to win the Wimbledon title and

598
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,120

Speaker 9: nineteen eighty five. On the men's side, Goron Ivanissovitch did

612
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 9: inter Miami soccer superstar Leonel Messi went viral when he

613
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 9: went shopping at a public's grocery store in Miami. Well, yesterday,

614
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 9: Messi caused another stir when he ran a red light

615
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 9: and nearly got into a collision with another car. And

616
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 9: if you can believe it, when it happened, his commute

617
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 9: was being televised live back in his native Argentina on

618
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 9: an all sports TV network called Tyic Sports. Listen to

619

Speaker 9: this and you really need no translation for me?

620
00:33:52,520 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 10: Then no, no, no, no, WHOA.

621

Speaker 6: Quinn Williams, uh big, big time major contract. Uh just done,

Speaker 6: got is extended with the Jets. He will be joining

00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 6: it correctly.

671
00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 3: Uh.

672
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 6: But you we will talk to the big Q dog

673
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 6: week in the next out. Yeah. But before we get

674
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 6: to the next hour, we got to wrap up this

675
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 6: hour and the Chiefs they won best team at at

676
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 6: the SP's. Now, a lot of people I saw a

677
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 6: lot of feedback and a lot of blowback that it

678
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 6: should have been the Denver Nuggets, and I gotta say

679
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 6: I agree, And just from my perspective, I think the

680
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 6: reason why I agree, stretch is because the Denver Nuggets

681
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 6: have never won a title in basketball in Denver. Kansas

682
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 6: City has, and Kansas City has done it with the

683
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 6: same coach and the same quarterback that that got it

684
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 6: this year. I mean, to me, I thought that it

685
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 6: would have made a lot of sense that, you know,

686
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 6: bucking all the odds and ending up being on top

687
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,240
Speaker 6: of the NBA at at the end of the SAS

688
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 6: and the way they did it, I kind of felt

689
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 6: as though it should have been Denver that that got

690
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 6: the award.

691
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, no doubt about it. I mean, kudos to

692
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey any read in the Kansas

693
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 4: City Organization man for what they've been able to do.

694
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 4: But just like you said, I just think that the

695
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 4: way the Denver Nuggets went about winning their World championship

696
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 4: and sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers, nobody picked the Denver

697
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 4: Nuggets to even get to the Western Conference finals. And

698
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 4: just like you said, the Jokers boring to watch. But

699
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 4: I'm just it just it baffles me at how they

700
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 4: cannot be the best team, you know, in the espies

701
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 4: if my memory serves me correctly, when we went to

702
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 4: the SBS in O seven, we didn't win best team either.

703
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 4: We won Bigger It's upset and uh, the Boston selves

704
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 4: and KG and and Rondo and Paul piss they won

705
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 4: the best team, which I thought we were the best team.

706
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 4: I could be a little bit biased, but I do

707
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 4: understand that everybody that gets invited basically is going to

708
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 4: win an award. You just don't know which one is

709
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 4: gonna be. But definitely, Uh, the first NBA championship in

710
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 4: dem the nugget history to win in this in the

711
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:29,959
Speaker 4: manner that they did.

712
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

713
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 4: The Miami Heat won one game out of out of

714
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 4: the out of the series, pretty dominant, and they basically

715
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 4: lost one game in the last two series and it

716
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 4: was just dumb. So they definitely should have won the award. Yeah, man,

717
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 4: I tend to think that that was the case. But

718
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 4: but okay, now, then that now leads me to the

719
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 4: next question or or kind of like a spin off

720
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 4: to it is if that's any other market, if that's

721
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 4: the Lakers and Lebron.

722
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 3: James won, is it? You know?

723
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 6: I think that you know, they would have won all

724
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 6: the awards probably, so they would have won biggest Upset,

725
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 6: best team, most likely to succeed, best smile, that's everything, everything,

726
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 6: that's everything. Best meet me after the after the awards. Yeah, man,

727
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 6: best meet me at the bar.

728
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 4: They don't want everything, man, they would have won it all,

729
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 4: you know, they would have. That's come on, man. Yeah, yeah,

730
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 4: well that is what it is.

731
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 6: And I listen shots out to the Chiefs and shots

732
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 6: out to the NFL and standing up against other sports,

733
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 6: especially the NBA, and still being able to be what

734
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 6: it ended up being. But but I digress. Well, we're

735
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 6: gonna take a quick break. That's the end of the
