Speaker 1: We're gonna get to a few headlines for the weekend.
Speaker 1: It caught my eye. Let's start in Dallas, Texas, all right,
Speaker 1: where the Mavericks fans are really sick this morning after
Speaker 1: the news that Anthony Davis will be out several weeks
Speaker 1: with an adductor strain. This is not what Mavick fans
Speaker 1: wanted to say after Jim Nico Harrison traded away international
Speaker 1: superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, it's absolutely miserable. It's the
Speaker 1: worst thing they could have seen. Anthony Davis came out,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen in the first half like a monster.
Speaker 1: Came out in the first quarter like a monster. I
Speaker 1: had about twenty four to ten at a half. Okay,
Speaker 1: his brother was doing damage, reminding you what an all star.
Speaker 1: He was looking at the fans in Dallas saying, I'm here,
Speaker 1: I'm here busting Houston's You're living, you know what, because
Speaker 1: he's that kind of player. The issue has never been
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis's skill, however, It's always been his health and
Speaker 1: his durability. And so when you combine that with the
Speaker 1: fact that Luka Doncic is six years younger, and he
Speaker 1: is the international superstar. And here is the twenty eight
Speaker 1: point per game scorer, and he is the one that
Speaker 1: was traded away by the Dallas MAVs. Okay for Anthony Davis.
Speaker 1: And you go out there and you play lights out,
Speaker 1: you wreak havoc until you get hurt in the third quarter.
Speaker 1: It's exactly what Dallas fans were fearful of. Nobody ever
Speaker 1: questioned the greatness of Anthony Davis as a player. You
Speaker 1: questioned his durability. Remember Charles Barkley and the TNT crew
Speaker 1: made him famous. They called them street clothes. And then
Speaker 1: you remember last year he played seventy six games. This year
Speaker 1: for the Los Angeles Lakers. He wasn't missing too many
Speaker 1: games because he got tired of hearing that label attached
Speaker 1: to his name. Street clothes. That's what they called him,
Speaker 1: because he was always in street clothes. And you arrive
Speaker 1: in Dallas the first game, and you go down, and
Speaker 1: when you went down, what did you do? You got up,
Speaker 1: you walked off the court and you looked at the
Speaker 1: media in the locker room, and he said, it ain't
Speaker 1: that serious. Twenty four hours is announced, you're gonna be
Speaker 1: out probably for the month, for about a month. See
Speaker 1: that's the stuff right there, that as Dallas fans worried
Speaker 1: because you can't really enjoy him because you're always wondering
Speaker 1: how long he's gonna last. Now, is that fair to
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis at this particular moment in time, based on
Speaker 1: the level of production and his availability over the last
Speaker 1: year and a half. No, But if you're the Dallas MAVs,
Speaker 1: their fan base, Luca Dungeon is going and oh, by
Speaker 1: the way, twenty four hours before Luca is the debut
Speaker 1: as a Los Angeles Laker, that's when you get the
Speaker 1: news that Anthony David's gonna be out for a month.
Speaker 1: So what if Luca comes out there for the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles What if he starts dropping forty or fifty or
Speaker 1: seventy like he's done before as they Alonta Hawks. What
Speaker 1: if he does that while Anthony Davis is sitting on
Speaker 1: a bench of street club. Could you imagine how hard
Speaker 1: it's going to be. I will remind everybody I say
Speaker 1: this with no pleasure, no glee in my face. I
Speaker 1: think fans is short for fanatics for a reason. I
Speaker 1: don't like it one bit, But there have been reports
Speaker 1: that Nico Harrison security detail has been upgraded, it's been
Speaker 1: more intensified. He can't even sit in the same seats.
Speaker 1: He's a customer siting it because of the heckling and
Speaker 1: the fact that this is according to the reports, we
Speaker 1: need to keep him safe. That's how pissed off people
Speaker 1: are because they love Luca in Dallas. And then you
Speaker 1: got the Board of Governor for the Dallas Maps, mister
Speaker 1: Dumont sitting there talking about Jordan and Kobe and people
Speaker 1: like that, and Lebron at talking about their work ethic,
Speaker 1: somebody that's committed every day to pursuing excellency championships, basically
Speaker 1: implying that's not what Luca was about, which is why
Speaker 1: we moved his ass out of here. If Lucas shows
Speaker 1: up and shows out for the Lakers, it's not gonna
Speaker 1: be good. It's not gonna be good times in Dallas,
Speaker 1: and Lord help us if Luca when Lebron makes a
Speaker 1: playoff run in the Western Conference and Dallas is home,
Speaker 1: oh lord, oh lord, it's not gonna be good. It's
Speaker 1: not gonna be good. Not rooting against the Lakers, because
Speaker 1: that would be rooting against Southern California, which I would
Speaker 1: never do because I like to be there come May.
Speaker 1: In jail, I ain't apologize if that's anybody, but I
Speaker 1: will say this, I don't wish this on the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 1: That's an organization. I don't miss this on Nico Harrison
Speaker 1: as an individual. I don't even wish it on a
Speaker 1: f fans in Dallas. I only got issues with Cowboy fans,
Speaker 1: not Maths fans. Just thought i'd tell you that
