The All Star weekend took 37 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: place in the hood in Englewood and up to no good. 38 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: And while the All Star Game itself saw players actually 39 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 2: show some effort, they're getting complimented. You imagine how bad 40 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: your business is when the players are now getting complimented 41 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: for doing what they're supposed to do anyway and playing hard. 42 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: It's wild what a bizarro world we're in. 43 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: But that's not the store here, So over the weekend, 44 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 2: the Commissioner, the Lizard person, Adam Silver, gave his State 45 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 2: of the NBA address. Always must listen unless it's not so, 46 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 2: the Commissioner, Adam Silver said, over the weekend he talked 47 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: about the draft, the tanking, He talked about the load management. 48 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: We're gonna start though with the issues inside pro bouncy ball, 49 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: and we're gonna start with the load management problem, which 50 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: is an issue right and so Adam Silver said that 51 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: every possible remedy, every possible remedy is going to be 52 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: looked at to stop load management tanking. All of it 53 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 2: is under consideration. So ot of Solis or not, maybe not. 54 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: Adam Silver conceded that tanking, which has been around for 55 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 2: a long time, but not quite up to the standard 56 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 2: it's been at this year where teams lose intentionally and 57 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: they're so arrogant now like the Jazz coaches like bragging 58 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: about it. They don't even hide it. They don't even pretend. 59 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: The rules of tanking were the first rules. You're not 60 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: supposed to tell teams you're tanking, or anyone you're tanking 61 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: while you're tanking. But they're so arrogant they know the 62 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: NBA is not gonna do anything. They're like, oh, yeah, 63 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: we're tanking. Let's see, it's rather obvious. We had three 64 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: teams trade for veteran, name brand players and shut them 65 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: down immediately, the Utah Jazz, the Indiana Pacers, and the 66 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 2: Washington Wizards because they're all tanking. It's outstanding, just outstanding. 67 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: So yeah, Silver admitted it's worse this season than it 68 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: has been in years past. But let us discuss that 69 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: is a good jumping off point. So the question what 70 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: is the solution? All right, give me the solution for 71 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 2: the NBA's load management problem. So I've got Clark Kent, 72 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 2: Maury Povich, and cardboard cutouts, and we will combine all 73 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 2: of these things together and we are going to make 74 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: some chicken palm, is what we're going to make, all right. So, 75 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: first of all, other than having the players grow some 76 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: hair on their chest and bigger basket walls, right, actually, so. 77 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: Well, maybe I shouldn't be a bigger. 78 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 2: Wiss than previous generations that actually have some pride in 79 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: my product. Outside of that, we do have answers, right, 80 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 2: We do have answers here, and it actually isn't complicated. 81 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: The National Basketball Association is in the business of selling stars. 82 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: It's all about the stars, right. 83 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 2: They don't sell the teams, they sell the star players. 84 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: You go to watch the Steph curR in the Goal 85 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 2: and State Warrior. You don't go to watch the Warriors. 86 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: You go to watch Steph curR in the Goal State Warriors, 87 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: or fill in your favorite star and Edwards and the 88 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves. The team always comes after the star. That's 89 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: how the NBA has done business going back forty plus years. 90 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 2: That's how they operate. It's a star driven soap opera. 91 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 2: And they've got a lot of squeaking in the sneakers. 92 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: So right now, if you look at this, right now, 93 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: the NBA is selling you Superman. Come out and see 94 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 2: Superman deliver. And the only thing delivering is a Clark 95 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: Kent impersonator who's morbidly obese wearing sweatpants. That's essentially what 96 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: they're doing. You're not getting Superman, you're getting the Clark 97 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: Kent morbidly obese impersonator is what you're getting here, eating 98 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 2: cold old pizza and drinking lukewarm beer on the sofa. 99 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: That is how all of that is going here. 100 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: And so you've got fans paying for Taylor Swift tickets, 101 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: and they're getting the backup dancers and the lip syncing 102 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: is what. 103 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: They're getting at this point. 104 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: Now, the Mallor advice, the mallord advice is this, I've 105 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 2: got MBG. You put in an MBG and watch all 106 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 2: of this change. That is a money back guarantee. You 107 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 2: put a money back guarantee. You identify. Here's what I 108 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 2: would do. I would identify the top three players on 109 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 2: every team, right, top three players, whoever they might be, 110 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: and each of them is worth thirty three point three 111 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 2: three percent. So it's you break it up three players. 112 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 2: The other ones are worth like point one percent, but 113 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 2: thirty three point three percent, and it's each ticket sold 114 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 2: thirty three point three percent. If one star res load management, 115 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,119 Speaker 2: you refund thirty three percent of the face value ticket price. 116 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: If to sit, you're now giving back sixty six percent 117 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: of the money. And if all three congratulations. If all 118 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 2: three sit out, you get a full refund at face value. 119 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: Or you can get a ticket to another game to 120 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 2: watch other players sit in that game and follow. 121 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: I think it's aldi the grocery store all d. 122 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: Where they have a money back guarantee, a promise of 123 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: confidence So that's all the NBA is do you can 124 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 2: do all the different studies you want and all this 125 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: and that. 126 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: And the thing of a jig and the watch and 127 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: McCall and all that. 128 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: And by the way, let me point out that the 129 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: reason a lot of stores do the money back guarantee 130 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 2: is because the data shows that hardly anyone even claims 131 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: the money back guarantee. 132 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: That's why they do it. 133 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: Now, there's some con artists out there that take advantage 134 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 2: of it, but for most people there's too lazy to 135 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 2: do it. But the threat, hey I can get my 136 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 2: money back, that is the great equalizer. That is where 137 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: the magic is. Because it's not just the tickets. You've 138 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: got to be transparent to your television partners. You imagine 139 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: a world where they break up the amount of money 140 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 2: the NBA gets from television, which is really what bankrolls 141 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 2: all of this. It's a TV show and they're putting 142 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 2: inferior people on the TV show. So if you start 143 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: taking away TV money from the league and you give 144 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: it back to NBC, to Amazon, to ESPA, you say, okay, listen, 145 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: we did not give you the product that you're paying for, 146 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 2: so therefore we are going to we're going to give 147 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 2: you some money back. Suddenly those rest days, the hamstring injuries, 148 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 2: which you could maybe play, but you're like, out of 149 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 2: an abundance of caution, I'm not going to play. Those 150 00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 2: things are gonna heal faster than a wolverine in a 151 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: contract year. Right, The healing powers will be amazing. And 152 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: you don't fix the load management. You don't fix the 153 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 2: load management with a memo or any of that stuff. No, No, 154 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 2: you fix it by making it hurt with the bottom line, 155 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 2: because the trickle down on that. If you're taking money 156 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 2: away to give back to television because you're giving them 157 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 2: a crappy product, and you're giving tickets back to people 158 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 2: money back for people that bought tickets, then all of 159 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 2: a sudden that trickles down to the players. They're getting 160 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 2: less money and suddenly they'll get some motivation to show 161 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 2: up and play. That's it wallet first, Pride second. Now, 162 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: speaking of page two here, keeping the theme of the 163 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 2: hour going so At the State of the NBA address 164 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: over the weekend, Adam Silver also said that the NBA 165 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 2: is considering redoing how teams qualify to get the top 166 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 2: picks in the draft. They've had the draft lottery for 167 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: over forty years, and so Adam Silver's like, well, I 168 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 2: don't know if this is good idea or not. We're 169 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 2: looking at all options. Blah blah blah. He said, it's 170 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 2: time is a quote, it's time to take a fresh 171 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 2: look at this and see whether that's an anequated way 172 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 2: of going about doing it. Silver said of the draft lottery, 173 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 2: and if you're not familiar because you've been down by 174 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: the river and not paying attention, the fourteen suck teams 175 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 2: that don't make the playoffs are all into the draft 176 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 2: lottery and they have a chance to get the top 177 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 2: pick in the draft. So that is how that works. Now, 178 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 2: changes would require the approval of the owners and likely 179 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 2: the players union. 180 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: They'd all have to be in lockstep on this. 181 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 2: So the question how did Adam Silver's comments on doing 182 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 2: everything possible, everything possible to stop tanking and the NBA 183 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 2: sit with you? So I did watch this over the weekend. 184 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: It was more entertaining than the All Star Saturday Night. 185 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a minute. So I watched 186 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 2: it and it was like what, I was like, what 187 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: is that I'm watching? I'm like, okay, so you're you're 188 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: talking tough. What are you gonna gonna send a memo out? 189 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 2: It just sounded like a lot of verbal gumbo from 190 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: Adam Silver of alphabet soup, where you're wearing a microphone 191 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 2: or holding a microphone, it's alphabet soup. And he's running 192 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 2: the NBA like a mom and pop diner, serving up 193 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 2: a menu that includes nonsense stu, a lot of that, 194 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 2: and then for dessert, you've got a brain freeze milkshake. 195 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 2: You've got that for dessert there. And he's been talking 196 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: about this for several several years, all right, he been 197 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: talking about this, and as he has talked about it, 198 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: the tanking has continued. It's gotten more obvious and more 199 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: in your face this year than in years past. And 200 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: as we said, teams don't even try to hide it. 201 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: And listening to Adam Silver get up at the dais 202 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: and address the issues with the tanking and all this stuff, 203 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 2: it was like the old Maury Povich show from back 204 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 2: in the day. There you are the father. It's not 205 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 2: you are not the father. You are the father because 206 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 2: load management and tanking. We have not seen it get 207 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: to this level without the help of Adam Silver. 208 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: You are the father. Of twins. 209 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: It was a thing in the past, but it's never 210 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 2: been to this level. The product's never been worse than 211 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 2: it is right now. So Adam Silver helped elevate on 212 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 2: the launching pad, both tanking and load management and all that. 213 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 2: And so now you're shocked at they're taking advantage of 214 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 2: you because you have no spine. 215 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: You're a spineless, gutless commissioner. 216 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 2: And you're shocked at teams are misbehaving and they're taking 217 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 2: advantage of you because you don't do anything. 218 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: Why would you be shocked. 219 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 2: It's like setting your house on fire and blaming the smoke. Well, no, 220 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 2: So the Malar think tank, we've activated, the mal think tank, 221 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 2: the Mather think tank advice, you gotta go drastic, you 222 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 2: got to go. I would get rid of the draft. Done, 223 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:09,359 Speaker 2: bye bye, no more drafts, blow it up coming, bye bye. 224 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 2: You get rid of the draft. And you can't have 225 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: a draft without integrity. There is no integrity in the NBA. 226 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: It does not exist. And the draft. If you understand 227 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 2: the history why they even had the draft, it was 228 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 2: in a period of time where everyone actually tried to 229 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 2: win every game, but some teams just sucked. 230 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: But they were trying to win and they were just bad, right. 231 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 2: So in order to give them a shot because they 232 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 2: were trying to win games. 233 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: You had the draft. 234 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 2: And it only works when everyone's trying to win. Rewarding 235 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 2: bad teams who are intentionally bad makes no sense. And 236 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 2: so in these modern days where sports have been taken 237 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: over by the Ivy League crowd, the nerd crowd, the 238 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 2: dingle Berrys, they taken over our sports and they've figured 239 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 2: out there's scientific formulas, and so they have to they 240 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 2: have to get certain amounts of ping pong balls, and 241 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 2: they know their odds go up, and so they do 242 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 2: this and they move that over there and then there 243 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,119 Speaker 2: you go. So it's it's blasphemedy, but that's the reality 244 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: of the situation. And we have some of the media 245 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 2: carrying the water for these teams. Oh, it's the right 246 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 2: thing to do. Okay, I agree, So let's stop the draft. 247 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 2: Let's just get rid of the draft, because you can't 248 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 2: have nice things because you've ft with the draft. There's 249 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: no integrity because of the Wizards and the Jazz and 250 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 2: the Pacers and these other teams. So just get rid 251 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 2: of it. Just get rid of the draft. And for 252 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 2: those pearl clutching dopes who are out there who would 253 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: have a coronary. Oh, you can't get rid of the draft, 254 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: the very thought. I can't belive it. Oh my god, Spiderler. 255 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 2: The most popular sports league in the world is the 256 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 2: Premier League. I'm told that all the time by the 257 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 2: soccer hanks. The Premier League is the most popular league 258 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: out there. You know, the Premier League has no draft. 259 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: Did you know that there's no draft? You're not drafted 260 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 2: into the Premier League. 261 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: You're not. So go old school if they can pull 262 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: it off. 263 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: And Adam Silver has a chubby for everything international, that's 264 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: why we have that fugazy playing the playing tournament. We've 265 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: got that, We've got the the thing. The Knicks won 266 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 2: the cup in season tournament. He's dumb ideas that Adam 267 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: Silver came up with. So why not just go Premier 268 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 2: League and say, Okay, we're gonna get rid of the. 269 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: Draft and we'll go old school. We're going to. 270 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: Scout, develop and compete. And the Premier League, which again 271 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 2: everyone says is the gold standard globally most popular league 272 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 2: and all that stuff. 273 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: And if the teams are not going. 274 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 2: To try to win, you're not allowed to have nice things, 275 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 2: and so the NBA nobody's policing the candy store. And 276 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 2: so okay, Adam Silver's got no answers. He's just got 277 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 2: a lot of. 278 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: Words, a lot of words. 279 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: So just enough you get that burrito stuff with random nouns. 280 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: Just get rid of the draft. 281 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 2: Say that's it. We're done, and we're gonna do it 282 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 2: a different way. And that's just the way it has 283 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 2: to be, all right now. Final thought, While the All 284 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: Star Game was slightly better, the amount of attention the 285 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 2: players actually trying got was nauseating. So with that being said, 286 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: the other events were absolute milk toast. Oh my god, 287 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: so bad, so bad during the weekend where those were 288 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: always the pre eminent events, All Star Weekend, the Dunk contest, 289 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: the three point contest, That All Star Saturday thing was huge, 290 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 2: and that's supposed to be the highlight of the weekend 291 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 2: and it shows the athletic ability and how great these 292 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 2: players are and all that stuff, the biggest and brightest 293 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 2: stars in the NBA and all this blah blah blah 294 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah blah. That the headline was 295 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 2: empty arena greets All Stars in Inglewood. It was hardly 296 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 2: the ennyway there on Saturday for the three point Shootout 297 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 2: and the Dunk Contest, which. 298 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: Were not very good. We're not very good. 299 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 2: The photos went viral of the lifeless arena in Inglewood, 300 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 2: so the question what did you make of the barren landscape? 301 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 2: And it was barren there for the NBA's All Stars 302 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: Saturday Dunk Contest and three point Contest, and it continued 303 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 2: in the All Star Game, which was mostly empty, mostly empty, 304 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: the All Star Game, A lot of people there in 305 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: the upper parts of the arena. 306 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: What a mess? All right? 307 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 2: So what did we make of all of this? I 308 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 2: was now, I was fussing around with my remote control. 309 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 2: I was trying to find something. I wasn't really too 310 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 2: into the Olympics, and so I was like, all right, 311 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 2: my right hand was getting a workout. I was slipping 312 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 2: back around to various channels, and I did flip over 313 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 2: to the All Star Saturday with a Saturday afternoon on 314 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 2: the West Coast, because they had to play these things 315 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 2: earlier in the day, because NBC wanted the Olympics in 316 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 2: primetime because they knew nobody wants to watch pro bouncy ball, 317 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 2: and primetime so let's put the Olympics on there. Let's 318 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 2: put some skating and that'll get big ratings. And so 319 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 2: they did. And as I'm watching this and I thought 320 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 2: my TV had glitched, I thought, oh my god, I'm 321 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 2: in the hot tub time machine and I'm looking. 322 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, did we go back to twenty twenty? Is 323 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: there a pandemic? 324 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: The arena look like everyone was following the six foot rule, 325 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 2: which was bull crap and social distancing and all that. 326 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 2: It was unoccupied. It was as a basketball wasteland for 327 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 2: All Stars Saturday, and they really needed to add cardboard cutouts. 328 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 2: I was like, where are the cardboard cutouts? It's social distancing. 329 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: There must be some pandemic. Where are the cardboard cutouts? 330 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: Where's the water? Where's the toilet paper? We need that? 331 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 2: And by the way, it is appropriate. That's appropriate. It's 332 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: well earned. 333 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: Piece by piece. 334 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 2: The NBA has been chipping away at these events in 335 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 2: the last ten years, probably longer than that, but we'll 336 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 2: just go to the last ten years. And it's like 337 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 2: termites biting at the hardwood floor, and we've had that, 338 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 2: and it's been going on. And these contests were built 339 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 2: in a different era, and I get it. Times change, 340 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 2: the money's great and all that stuff. And there was 341 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 2: a point where the biggest names in basketball cared about 342 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 2: being ambassadors to the sport. They wanted to help. You 343 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 2: can say it's hokey and it's you know, a bunch 344 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 2: of boomers, but they actually cared about the product that 345 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 2: they wanted to promote the business of basketball, make it 346 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 2: what it is today where the players can be spoiled 347 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 2: a holes, and so they succeeded. But those contests were 348 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 2: built in an era when the players understood marketing and 349 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: that it was important that the biggest name showed up, 350 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 2: that it mattered and they mattered, and everyone had to 351 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 2: work together, and they wanted to help grow the pop 352 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 2: ularity of basketball to new fans. But now everyone's fat 353 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 2: and happy. The elite players are pampered and they're too 354 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 2: cool for school. They're coddled. They're allergic to showing up 355 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,239 Speaker 2: to these events. It's just it's not worth their time. 356 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 2: They'll go and hang out for the parties and all that. 357 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 2: But they've majored in being above at all. They can't 358 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 2: be bothered. 359 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: What's wrong with you. 360 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: It's twenty twenty six. We do not need to do 361 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 2: these things we don't know, right, and they're all making 362 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 2: tons of money. 363 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: Good for them. They're filthy rich. 364 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 2: And they'll show up for the velvet ropes and the 365 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 2: private parties and the bottle service and all that to 366 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 2: get him in the Dunk contest. Forget about it. That 367 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 2: is a nuisance. It is an absolute nuisance. Now, what 368 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 2: is my evidence? Some guy named Kashad Johnson. I total, 369 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 2: he plays with the Miami He won the Dunk Contest, 370 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 2: the Doctor J Trophy for the Dunk Contest, averaging this 371 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 2: season seven minutes a game and three points a game for. 372 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: The Miami Heat. And that is your all. At least 373 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: he's in the NBA. 374 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 2: Unlike the G League guy that has won the last 375 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 2: several Dunk Contests, the last four Slam Dunk Champions, last 376 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 2: four Slam Dunk Champions in the NBA have played a 377 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: combined forty seven career games in the actual NBA. And 378 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 2: the guy for the Heat, Kashaw Johnson, he did the 379 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 2: most rudimentary elementary dunks. And then his thing was he 380 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 2: would just dance after It's like, okay, he's dancing. 381 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: That's great. Let's get him on, you know, we'll get 382 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: him on Broadway or something like that. 383 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 2: But the dunk itself was not that good. And yet 384 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 2: this guy won the dunk contest with the most elementary 385 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 2: dunks imaginable because he just shook his ass a little 386 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 2: bit after he dunked, and he won the slam Dunk 387 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 2: cuts no star power in that. It's the witness protection 388 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 2: program of the NBA. And apathy is the death of entertainment. 389 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 2: And there's a whole lot of apathy right. Fans are 390 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 2: drifting away. It's kind of like gravity, right drifting away, 391 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 2: and once they float out of the orbit, good luck 392 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 2: pulling them back in. 393 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: And it's not gonna work out very well for you. 394 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 2: It is The Ben Mahler Show, if you'd like to 395 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 2: be part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, 396 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 2: seven nine nine, six sixty three sixty nine.
