Speaker 1: Bronx when the weather gets to get the weather gets nice.

315
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: For those of you who have never been to the Bronx,

316
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: have been to New York this time a year, this

317
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: is like when uh everybody's happy. Uh you know that

00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: the worst is in the past. What is it? What's

319
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: going on in in the b X right now? But

320
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: what's going on is the weather is loosening up and

321
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: now we have the clothes are coming off. The women

322
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: are looking more more beautiful. And uh, I like that.

323
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: I like that when the weather it's nice, the bronx,

324
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: the bronx is looking good. Man. The women come, they

325
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: come out on some spring stuff. So along with the flowers,

326
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,240

00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: and what about um? And what what what are you

328
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,760

330
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: Speaking of somebody who really has an affinity for pretty women? Uh,

331
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: Derek Fisher? Uh has to pay his ex wife. I

332
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: think it's I don't know what the funk? Yo? I

333
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: got mixed feelings about this. Derek Fisher has to pay

00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: his ex wife a hunt what is it? What is it?

335
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: What's the amount of money he gotta pay his ex wife?

336
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: It's like hundred a hundred thousand a month, Yo, Derek

337
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: Fisher has to pay his ex wife a hundred thousand

338

340
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: ever had to deal with this. But the way it works,

341
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: long story short, and and and my my, my, um,

342
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: non use of any phrases. It's based on what you made,

343
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: so what you make, so obviously Fishers making money. He

344
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: was just a coach of New York. They fired his

345
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: ass um and he started messing around with his ex

346
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: teammates girlfriend. His ex teammates ex wife, Matt Barnes, who

347
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: you I don't know why if out of all the

348
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: people's ex wife you want to funk with, I don't

349
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: know why you would funk with his because he's got

350
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: crazy eyes for real, and he just you know, I

351
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: know he's about that life. He proved he was about

352
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: that life. And now Derek Fisher has to pay his

353
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: ex wife, spousal and and and child support in the

354
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: total of a hundred and twenty four. That's gonna slow

355
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: down date night with Matt Barnes ex wife. Now, now

356
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: I know that we talk shit about these no good,

357
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: greasy ass judges, they just throw throw down the gauntlet

358
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: with the money. What is your take on this, because

359
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: because see I feel like this is so much sort

360
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 1: of charmer because it's rumored, it's alleged that Derek Fisher

361
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: one of the reasons besides running the Knicks into the

362
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: ground even further than they were. One of the one

363
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: of the allegations that sort of came up, It was

364
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: in the papers and then it kind of disappeared. One

365
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: of the allegations against Derrek Fishers that he was making

366
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: propositions not only to Matt Barnes, his former teamming, but

367
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: to some of the players on the Knicks Chicks. So

368
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: he's wild for the night. He is wild for the

369
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: night allegedly. So what is your what is your take

370
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: on this ship? Like, how do you feel about this?

371
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: I feel like the judge factored all that into his

372
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: uh decisions to really ram it up this guy, because

373
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, the judges the word and they hear

374
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: the things the same things we hear, and we we

375
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: we can't believe it that this guy is going after

376
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: the players girls. He has a pattern of dooling it.

377
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: So the judge factored that into his decision. And he's

378
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: not a no good judge because this guy has broken

379
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: countless man Lord right this time he got double fucked

380
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: the spouses glad ye, yeah, I hear you, I hear you.

381
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: Um all right, well listen, we we we were keeping

382
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: it short and sweet what we're doing on this episode.

383
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: I told the people. Monetti is is is? I did

384
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: a little solo ship and then of course we had

385
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: the pleasure of speaking of bizarre Steph Curry. Uh. You

386
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: know that the the the fans wanted to hear you. Uh.

387
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: And then I got Ruco. I'm calling Ruco, Ryan Ruco,

388
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna finish up with Wood Harris. And

389
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: I knew you heard part one of the Wood Harris interview,

390
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: but he went fucking nuts when we started talking tout NBA.

391
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: So the mild mannered, artistic Chillwood the cat came out

392
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: of the bag for part two. So I'm looking forward

393
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: to people hearing that. You got anything else you want

394
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: to you want to speak about Mr Monetti? Oh? No, man,

398
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: my man. Ryan Ruco analysts ESPN analysts, Yankee analysts because

399
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: he's a professional sports analyst covers the NBA, and I

400
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: don't want to get some insight on this series Golden State. Yo, Yo,

401
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: Ryan Ruco, what up? Man? This is the Iron Rapports

402
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: Stereo Podcast. I'm calling you fresh after the Golden State

403
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: Warriors game. Listen, I talk shit, you talk facts, you

404
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: talk analytics, you know the game. You cover the NBA

405
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: on ESPN. Give me some insight into the craziness of

406
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: this series. You covered both these teams live and in

407
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: person all season long. Give me something, why man, this

408
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: is I think that maybe the most symbolic image of

409
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: this game, and it will depend what happens in game six.

410
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: For the most symbolic image of this game might be

411
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant at the end of the game tapping up

412
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: his teammates like, hey, good a good job as the

413
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: game was still going on, staying Colm and then I'm

414
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: sure it's going to be out on the internet and fine,

415
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: when Steven Adams slam the back of a chair walking

416
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: to the bench and Kevin Durant tapped him and says,

417
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: we got the next one. You know, I think this

418
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: there's nothing about what happened in this game that would

419
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,239
Speaker 1: discourage the Thunder from thinking goal and the series in

420
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: game six. But there's there's reality. You're you're one win

421
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: away now if you're Golden State from playing a home

422
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: game seven. And I think the most encouraging thing for

423
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: Golden State in this game was twofold one. Draymond Green

424
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: made an impact on the defensive end of the floor.

425
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: He has some outstanding switches in the pick and roll.

426
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: He really at one point was the driving force behind

427
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 1: some of their best basketball. I guess it was in

428
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: the second quarter of the third where in the third

429
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: I think it was where he just started playing so

430
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: actively Mike and then Steph Curry was going to the rim.

431
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: You know, that's what he needs to do. He wasn't

432
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: doing enough of at in this series, like people always

433
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: talk about at all. He's just a shooter that's so ridiculous.

434
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: Deep has maybe the best handle in the NBA, if

435
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: not the best, he's top two or three. And you

436
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: know he also he scored a ton of buckets at

437
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: the rim, and in this in this series, it kind

438
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: of felt like and maybe it's because he knows he

439
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have this full explosion, like he would almost like

440
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: be hesitant to try and even in ash at the rim.

441
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: And in this game he was attacking the rim and

442
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: either get into the line or finishing. And if I

443
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: was Golden State, I know I didn't do anything mentally

444
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: to throw this thunder off as evidence by what Kevin

445
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: Brand was like at the end of that game. But

446
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: maybe I did something to get Steph Curry going and

447
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: to get Draymond going on the other end of the floor.

448
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: Now that that that makes sense, let me ask you something.

449
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: You you covered these guys up close and personal, Westburgh.

450
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: I remember texting you one time. You were you, I

451
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: don't know who they were playing against. You were covering

452
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: an okay see game. And those are you who are

453
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: not familiar with Ryan Ruco. He's an ESPN analyst. He

454
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: covers the he covers the NBA, covers the Yankees, he

455
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: covers don't you you cover like every sport looks Kayaking, Olympic, Olympic, fencing.

456
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: He does it all. But he's known for the Yankee

457
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: stuff and NBA stuff. What is it like Kayaking is

458
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: in there with those two? Yeah, I mean that's that's

459
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: your real aspiration is to be the Marv Albert of kayaking.

460
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: But when you're watching Russell Westbrook up close and in

461
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: personal and covering him again a game, what is his

462
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: energy like as an analyst? Like? How hard is it

463
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: to cover him? You know? What's funny? Man? I I

464
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: like to tell this story. A couple of years ago,

465
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: I was doing a Thunder game and I asked Scott Brooks,

466
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: the old Thunder coach, how would you describe, like, you know,

467
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook some some version of that question, And he said,

468
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: and he said, Russell Westbrook does not have a dim switch.

469
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: And I thought that was just the perfect way to

470
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: describe him. You know, when that light is on Old Blair,

471
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: if there's no dimming his energy. I also like to

472
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: say when you do a game court side, that Russell

473
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: Westbrook's playing in like the broadcast table is under constant

474
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: turbulence because he is just burning up and down the floor.

475
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: For me, he is the best athlete in the league,

476
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: and I don't know that it's that close. He is

477
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: just a total and complete free And you know what's

478
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: nice about it too, He's he's that total and complete

479
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,239
Speaker 1: freak athlete risk the motor on all the time and

480
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: the heart of an absolute champion like this guy is

481
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: obsessed with winning and wants no part of losing. Now

482
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: we know occasionally that can hurt him because it could

483
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: meet him jacking up some awful shots and a lot

484
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: of times they don't go in because Russell westbrooks. He's

485
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: got a decent mid range, but you know he is

486
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: he is not a good three point shooter, and in general,

487
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: jump shooting isn't where he succeeds. He excels at getting

488
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: to the law time and getting to the rim. But

489
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: he has this incredible confidence and this unbelievable fight. Man,

490
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: he's just he's a freak. He's a total freak. And

491
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: you know what else might comm you know this like superstars,

492
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: they don't like Russell Westbrook doesn't look at Steph Curry

493
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: and say, oh, man, that's Steph Curry. Like his comments

494
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: indicated before, he thinks, I'm Russell Westbrook. Man, I'm better

495
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: than this guy. He might be wrong, he might be

496
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: wrong about that, but you know, there is no part

497
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: of him mentally that doesn't think he's better than Curry.

498
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: He really believes he's he's the best player on the

499
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: floor every time he's on the floor. Did you did

500
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: you in any way see this coming in terms of

501
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: this series being so well, now it's three to um,

502
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: but did you did you anyway see that? Like it

503
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: was gonna be this sort of lopsided and then tonight

504
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: this intense I mean, this is like, it's a crazy

505
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's a great playoff. It makes a

506
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: great drama. Did no one saw this coming? Right? You know?

507
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: It's funny, like haven't we all kind of been waiting

508
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: right for the Thunder to put it together? Like they

509
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: should be this good. They have two of the five

510
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: best players in the NBA. But you know when they

511
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: when they peaked prior to this year, this group in

512
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: remember at that time, we were thinking like, oh, it's

513
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: gonna be Durrant versus Lebron in the finals for years

514
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: to come. Like this this was going to become you know,

515
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: bird magic, Like these guys are gonna go at it constantly,

516
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: and they're the blueprint that the Thunder had built where

517
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: they kind of you know, they went around and then

518
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: they got to the conference finals, and then they got

519
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: to the finals, okay, in a championship. With the next step,

520
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: you realize how fragile that is because because then they

521
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: got hurt, you know, and this is really you know,

522
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: this is really the first year where they have their

523
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:54,239
Speaker 1: group either healthy or not recovering from an injury, you know,

524
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: like like like Russ and Kadi. Even in some of

525
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: the more recent years they didn't they even if they've

526
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: been healthy, they've been recovering from you know, a knee surgery,

527
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: a foot surgery, whatever it might be. You know, this team, though,

528
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: has a lot of talent, you know. And it's Cancer,

529
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: who was not good tonight, but he's found a role

530
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: on this team where they can keep him on the

531
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: floor in spite of his horrible defense. Right, And this guy,

532
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's Robertson, Robertson's it's Robertson. Yeah, yeah,

533
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: isn't it is it? Is it Robertson or Robertson or who?

534
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: Who the hell is this guy? It should be It

535
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: feels like it should be Robertson, right, but it's actually Robertson.

536
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: It's that is the correct pronunciation is Robertson. He's He's

537
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: a long, athletic dude. He can't bring much to the

538
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: table offensively, and and he's hit a few threes in

539
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: this series. But if you're going to stay, you're gonna

540
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: live with that. But he's a good defensive player. But

541
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: even beyond laiders, man like Deon, Laider is another one

542
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: of these guys, like Cancer, ton of talent trying to

543
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 1: find a way to get it out of a different

544
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: situation because Wainers was more about you know, attitude mentality

545
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: rather than you know, just the defensive side of the ball.

546
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: But Waiters, they've really gotten something out of So bottomize this, Mike,

547
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: They the thunder have this talent. They finally figured out

548
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: a way to put it together. So is it surprising?

549
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: Like the only thing that's surprising is seeing the Warriors

550
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: look shook, which they which they did, gave three and four,

551
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: and a team that came off sixty seven wins in

552
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: the title and followed up with seventy three wins should

553
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: probably never look shook. Now do you think, I'm I'm,

554
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm I know you're going out. You're out in the

555
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: town in New York. God only knows what you're doing.

556
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: God bless you now because I don't want to keep

557
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: you long. Now, this whole like this whole backlash with

558
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, Well, what is your take on it? It's

559
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: like tonight, you know, if you you know, they have

560
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: these slow motion cameras, you know, like he was taking

561
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: Durant to the basket, he was, you know, doing his

562
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: thing with Westbrook, and all of a sudden, you know,

563
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: he looks like himself. He has two were three, you know,

564
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: not incredible games, and it's like the tide turned. It's

565
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: like people are waiting to hit this guy with a

566
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: baseball bet over his head. So, so what do you

567
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: think of that? And then can you explain him? Because

568
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: I feel like some of the backlash that's come from

569
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: some of the analysts and just across the board is

570
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: this unanimous m v P thing. So because you know

571
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: what it is, and it bothers me so much, am

572
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: I going That's why I don't want to see him

573
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: have a rough series at all, because people it's the

574
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: old like build you up, break you down society, right,

575
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: Like that's what it is. And and people see Steph

576
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: Curry and they don't see anything that's like freakish as

577
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: far as size goes and build goes and an asshole

578
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,959
Speaker 1: athleticism goes. And so at first that creates this incredible

579
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: relatability and likability and it's like, wow, that guy can

580
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: do what I can do, and it's why all the

581
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: kids love step right and then he gets to this

582
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: point at the top of the mountain and that's why

583
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: and you know, people want to tear him down or

584
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: anyone down and they start saying, like, wait a second,

585
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, those things that made him so

586
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: endearing become the reason why he's not that special. Hold

587
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: on a second. This guy's you know, he's not a

588
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: freak athlete like Russell Westbrook. This guy is puny, like

589
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, okay, he's a shoot, but that say, oh,

590
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: he can't do anything on the defensive side of it.

591
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, people just look for things, which,

592
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: by the way, in this game five, he was tremendous

593
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: defensively and had some critical steals, including a couple of

594
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: possessions where he signed me Kevin Durant down the street.

595
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: But so I just feel like it happens to anyone

596
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: once they get to the top of the mountain. We

597
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: saw with Lebron to Lebron kind of spurred it on

598
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: himself with the decision, but like we we just see

599
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: it with greatness, people then try and carry you down

600
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: and and so I do think that's a big part

601
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: of it. Look, you know why Steph Curry was the

602
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: first ever unanimous kotee because he was so obviously the

603
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: m v P this year. He had maybe the greatest

604
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: offensive season in the history of the NBA and his

605
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: team who was the champs follow that up with a

606
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: seventy three win. Yere Now, who in the right mind

607
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: would pick anybody else other than Steph Curry to be

608
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: the m v P this year. So of course he's

609
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: the unanimous choice. But you know, people see that and

610
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: they start saying, wait a second, he's not Jordan's He's

611
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: not Magic yet, he's not Verd yet. You know, he's

612
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: not Bill Russell, Kareem, whatever name, whatever names you want.

613
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: And why is he getting that accolade? You know why?

614
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: Because in the history of basketball, there was never as

615
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: obvious a choice for m v P as Stephan Curry

616
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 1: in the sixteen season. And that's why he's the unanimous

617
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: m VP. Who makes these votes though, like it's the writers,

618
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: it's the NBA, it's the NBA writers, and it's is

619
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: it the gms as well as it just the NBA writers.

620
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: The writers makes it make the selections for m v P.

621
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: There could be politics involved. I mean, I think that

622
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Lebron you could you could argue that

623
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: every Lebron has been the m VP every single year

624
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: that he's been in there. You know what, here's why. Yes,

625
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: Lebron is. Lebron is still probably if you ask, you know,

626
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: thirty gms who they take number one overall for for

627
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: a one year stint right now, I'd say probably twenty

628
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 1: four of them are gonna take Lebron. But this year

629
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavalier's regular season was an underachieving regular season.

630
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: Right if everybody thought, Okay, this group now has a

631
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: year under them, they're gonna be the you know, I know,

632
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: you know there was coming back from injury, so who

633
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: didn't start the season with them. But they're they're gonna

634
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: be flowing in all directions. They're gonna have that rhythm.

635
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a sixty win team, a sixty five

636
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: win team. Stuff they create. They wont fifty six games.

637
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: You know, Lebron was sensational the last six weeks two

638
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: months of the season, but he was not play I mean,

639
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: he was still great, He's Lebron, but he was not

640
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: playing at that level the entire year. Death continued it

641
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: throughout and the Warriors, somehow, after winning a title, exceeded expectations.

642
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: You know, like, yeah, whenever Lebron fits, the Calves going

643
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: to tank. So technically you can make that argument. But

644
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: what Steth is the Warriors, I don't know. Maybe instead

645
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: of winning seventy three they would have only won forty

646
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: six games without that's a huge drop all, you know.

647
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: So there are years like Lebron should have been the

648
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: m v P, the year Derreck Rose one. This is

649
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: not a year Lebron has that argument. To me, Now,

650
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: maybe he's gonna end up winning the finals m VC,

651
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: but the regular season m v P, no doubt With

652
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: Steth Curry, I I really think Michael is just like

653
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: it's a product of a couple of things, right, Like one,

654
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: we have now all these constant conversations about sports because

655
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: of follow different platforms we have. And then too, whenever

697
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: As I said earlier, Wood Harris has game. I don't

698
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: know if he still has game. He had game, Mike,

699
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: we gotta do a whole another show. I gotta be

701
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: gun to your head, you had to put the whole

702
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: house on it. Who's winning the NBA Championship this year?

703
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: And what do you think of motherfucker's dress? Game. Okay,

704
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: so who's gonna win the championship? And because Alan Iverson

705
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: was persecuted for some moment for some baggy ship and

706
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: I fought with Russell Westbrook hard bodies one of my

707
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: favorite players. But my man came out the other day

708
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: like he was in a bombing. He had his ship,

709
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: looked like he literally like he would like he was

710
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: like an explode. Didn't happened. He was showing his midriff. Yo.

711
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: He let me just say, let me say this, Let

712
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: me say we have a cool I'm super cool with

713
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: with west do so I'm gonna produce a thirty thirty

714
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: with him. I produced, I did, I m narrated the

715
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: one Benjie Benjie Ship Ben Wilson. Yeah, so I'm gonna

716
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: do a thirty thirty on Westbrook. We talked about it

717
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: and so we got to do the rest. But let

718
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: me say this. You brought up you know we're doing

719
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: on this game. You see, if we could do a

720
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: separate we could do like a short on the clothing.

721
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: His clothing can have a line of you know with listen,

722
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: Westbrook is smart. He knows how to do this brand

723
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: thing crazy. No, he knows what he's all I want

724
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: to say. He knows what he's doing. And also who

725
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: got more game than Westboro? Like he's a what you heard,

726
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't care what he wears to the what he

727
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, what he want on the floor, A number

728
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: zero bro, No one has start, no one has to argue,

729
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: and he my side, he our side, I know, Like

730
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,959
Speaker 1: I'm ridiculous. He's only a six small, Like he's small,

731
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: he's not tall. Yeah, he had little dude in the NBA.

732
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: He he he sucked me up. When I first saw him,

733
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: I was tripping out off him because I was like,

734
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: you think he's six six, he's maybe tipping in at

735
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: maybe six four. He's maybe six four. I don't think

736
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: he's six four. But if he's on six four, he's

737
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: on the lower end of the sixth four, he's not

738
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: six for three point six four. Um, he's a fucking beast.

739
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: But he's like Alan Ivson is a good thing that

740
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: you put them in the in the same listen. That's

741
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: perfect Mike to put them in because his heart is

742
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: like Allen Iverson's and obviously it was a beast if

743
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: Alan Iverson played in the NBA. Now to no touch

744
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: NBA to Curry era, how many points he would get

745
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 1: a game. People act like they actually though. The NBA

746
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: gets on my nerves a little bit, like I hate

747
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: to say it because it's the no touch era. Look,

748
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: you ain't never played basketball. Mother couldn't touch you, like yeah,

749
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: and then they did this and then they got rid

750
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah. So you mean so Curry chucked up

751
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 1: four hundred threes and hit I mean a thousand threes

752
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: and hit four hundred of him, but he chucked up

753
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 1: a thousand three would listen, I don't care. You would

754
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: have been on your ass. But but any era twenty

755
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: five ft step back is good in the eighties, the

763
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: he was hurt. Year before the mp m VV he

764
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,680

767
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,640

768
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: me say this. Let me say this. I can't, baby,

769
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say this. I'm not hating on Steph Curry.

770
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: I I love Steff here, I like the little players.

771
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm a little player. Okay, I'm a fan of Steph

772
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 1: Curry's I love Let me let me just say that again.

773
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: I love Steph Curry. Okay. The NBA is soft. You

774
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: can't put a handball or nothing on a player. Ray

775
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: Alan couldn't hit that mini threes. You can't even you

776
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: can't even imagine it. Now, he never played a game

777
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: that he didn't get hand checked. And it's not fair

778
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: for somebody happened. Just let me tell you how. I'm

779
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: not working with Curry unanimous. Hey, fuck it? You know what?

780
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: This is? What VP? He can't d up? No, probably

781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: the one he don't play. No d You don't think

782
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: he plays day You don't have to. If he's scoring

783
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,439
Speaker 1: fifty seven points. Look at that? Can you? Mike Rap

784
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: said that? See, I'm a real basketball dude. You gotta

785
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: play d D where he deserves to be unanimous. Here's

786
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: the thing. If you're voted the voters, the voters should

787
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: be thing king on on as a basketball making basketball decisions,

788
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: not like you, Mike or me. Even they should be

789
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: even more meticulous. They should be like, okay, before they

790
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: could be unanimous and didn't give it to Mike and

791
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: divn didn't give it to Kobe and didn't give it

792
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: the shack and didn't give it the bird and didn't

793
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:23,439
Speaker 1: give it the magic. What but check Curry one there's

794
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,760
Speaker 1: been couldn't get it. But there were all those dudes

795
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: played better than him, and there's other you know what,

796
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: they can't do better than him. All they can't do

797
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: better than him and shoot. I feel like you're saying,

798
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: all they can't do better than him and shoot all

799
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: they couldn't do better than him with shoots. That's a

800
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: big fucking thing. The three, even the motherfucker could better scorers.

801
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: They were better scorers. Yo, this is guy's the best

802
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: shooter ever ever. So you get a unanimous m v P. No.

803
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: The thing about the stop it, but the people unanimous.

804
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 1: There has been guys that are like ninety nine point

805
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: nine percent, like I said, I don't know who he was.

806
00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: I don't fact check, but there was like she hundred.

807
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, Lebron. Obviously you know what because

808
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 1: motherfucker's don't like him? Why? Because he's a fucking dick

809
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: to a lot of people. Hey, listen, he's Mike. Are

810
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: you on the dick side of it? Because we got

811
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: a great oppositional show. Yes, Oh you mean you're as

812
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: the person why the play? Here's the thing why, here's

813
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 1: the thing probably the one dude who probably didn't vote

814
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: for him. Now you don't funk with Twitter, but Lebron,

815
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: you unfollowed your team. Okay, and then the next day,

816
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: but listen, then you get out of the next day.

817
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,439
Speaker 1: Listen to what you should do, Lebron. You know, off

818
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: social media. Just get off social media period, Lebron, and

819
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: just you know, you start your own social media fucking

820
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 1: sight or that. Let him go to lebron dot com.

821
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: Do whatever you want. Ship first of all, is a

822
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: good guy. When I see Lebron, I'm sorry, I see

823
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 1: you know I'm not You're not seeing the good guy.

824
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say my Lebron story for another time, but

825
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: that's a whole that's what did they do. Obviously it's

826
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: out what I look, No, no, no, I'm talking about like, Yo,

827
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: you played yourself, dude. But now I'm just telling you

828
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 1: as a player abroad. But I think as far as

829
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: a personality, you can't have the coach fired in the

830
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: middle of the season when you're in the first place

831
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: and think that he did it. Listen, let me tell you,

832
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: how are you fucking kidding me? He did it? You

833
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: mean to tell me that he didn't. He has to

834
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: push the button if they're gonna fire the coach. You

835
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: think the guy goes Yo, Lebron, we just fired the coach.

836
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: He he pushed them. Say this about the coach. Can

837
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: I say something? Can I say check it out? You're

838
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: talking about a player and never had a coach. He

839
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: don't have one right now. All superstars, whether Isaiah Thomas,

840
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: underneath Oscar Robinson, all of them. If it's number six

841
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: from Boston, the old time of Bill Old Russell, the

842
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: most overrated player ever, underrated player ever, all of them

843
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: had coaches, superstar coaches. You talking about a motherfucker who

844
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: ain't had ship with a high school coach. Stop talking, bro.

845
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: You guys are killing me. So jealous of him, Like

846
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't feel that way, Lebron. You guys are mega jealous.

847
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 1: You guys are so jealous. But the jealous Lebron they

848
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: don't know what to do about dude who who? Who?

849
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: Who got dropped off at the coach house and became

850
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 1: the best ever stop it And I'm from the shy

851
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 1: the best ist, Mike. But I'm gonna say number twenty

852
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: three and here's the thing and then he put number six.

853
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 1: He said, I'm not gonna Will Russell, he's overrated. Who

854
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: use you fucking need to anybody own a bridge that

855
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: who got a bridge must got a bridge. You let

856
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: me tell you something. You need, Mike to jump off

857
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: your bridge. Bill Russell is the most the reason why

858
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: is the sason why he was playing against my Jewish

859
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: uncle Shlomo. Okay, look at some of the video tape

860
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: of this guy. Are you ranking? Are you king? That's

861
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: not He also had the up Will Chamberlain listen, he

862
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: could that what would DeAndre Jordan's have been back in

863
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: Bill Russell's day? John Sally would have been Bill Russell.

864
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 1: If you had any athletics seven foot dude back then,

865
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 1: they would have been uSell underrating him because you don't

866
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: see his game fully, you don't see his game from

867
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: you know what you need to do. You need you're

868
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: gonna look at the film, because go look at some

869
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: film and don't get the snippet here and there. Well, no,

870
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: it does exist. Look at the hip. Don't look at

871
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: the numbers, and go look at the footage of him

872
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 1: a player coach. That means this, you're so intelligent you

873
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: could run the floor and get the chip. Hold on.

874
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: They got the chip, all right? So you know how

875
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: many rings he got this? I know he got the nine.

876
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: He got nine of them. Ships got to hands and rings.

877
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 1: He got a decade of rains. And it's not because

878
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: for ten years people sucked you undermining the NBA. Just

879
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: we need to Mike gets flogged segment. Mike just gets gun.

880
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: I like that. We putting Mike against the last cigarette

881
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: and aim and fired. When he says super ludicrous things

882
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:30,280
Speaker 1: like Bill Russell's underrated, the only player rated, the only

883
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: the only player coach to go do anything in NBA

884
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 1: with success, he was saying the whole NBA was lame.

885
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying the whole, the whole in NBA was not

886
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: fully integrated at the time we had. I'm saying, you're like,

887
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: look at some of the fle me. Look at who

888
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: was on the floor during his era. Check it out,

889
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: who was there? Oscar Robinson overrated? Oh my god, check

890
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: this down. Oscar Robertson. Let me just say that you

891
00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: can have that many triple doubles. Oscar not overrated. Try

892
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 1: to find the footage of Oscar Robertson dribbling with his

893
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: left hand, just dribbling with his left hand, and he's

894
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: talking about Steph Curry. He didn't do what Steph Curry

895
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: did in one game in his whole career. Like I said,

896
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: the flogging segment. See, here's what Mike is not putting.

897
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: So West been back then, Ifcar like, if like, think

898
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: about how good Russell West. But because then he can

899
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: only be what he is now because of all of

900
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: these of course, I get. If you could take him

901
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: and transplant any of these players. I get Steph Curry also,

902
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: they would just be Juggernauts because they would have the

903
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: future in them. Of course, but we can put the future.

904
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 1: I get. So Oscar Robinson had to have I Understandry

905
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 1: West sticking him. Sorry, I get that. I understand. It's

906
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: the every on Jerry West. I understood he put the logo.

907
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: He put a triple double. Every time he saw on

908
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: the logo, Jerry West would would would be the Jerry

909
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: West would be like seeing the whole NBA was in

910
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: the past. Jerry West would be lucky to be j

911
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 1: j Reddick. Okay, I mean he's saying the whole NBA

912
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: before now you you no, no, no, no no, I'm

913
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: just saying, I'm just saying, let me ask you this.

914
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: When did the NBA become something to talk about Isaiah

915
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: Era no magic when igraded? I think in the seventies

916
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: when it became doc early doc, like when the A

917
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:28,919
Speaker 1: B A and the NBA and black players there wasn't

918
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: there wasn't a pro quo. And also just athletes in general,

919
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: the evolution of man. It's just the evolution of It's

920
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: just the evolution of the athlete. But but just to

921
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: go back on your Lebron thing, Okay, I hate it

922
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: when people listen. I'm if I don't even understand. Let

923
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,720
Speaker 1: me finish. If I had to pick a player tonight

924
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: and I was playing for my life and death, I

925
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,919
Speaker 1: would pick Lebron. Of course, that meaning that being said,

926
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean to have to root for this motherfucker,

927
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: just like I didn't root for Larry Bird or Jordan

928
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,240
Speaker 1: because I'm a Knicks fan and I'm certainly not rooting

929
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 1: for this motherfucker's taste something the Knicks fans chicagogmy one time.

930
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:11,479
Speaker 1: Let's mix movie, the movie and sports. Right quick, I'm

931
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 1: walking past the set of Girl six. Okay, this is

932
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: a this is a forty kids and a Mule production.

933
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 1: Spike is on the set I'm walking by. It happened

934
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: to be I guess Game five when Pipping blocked somebody,

935
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: I forget shot four times and nobody whistle didn't blow

936
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: because he's a defender or true, true defender. And this

937
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: ain't the the weakest era ever, like the Curry era is,

938
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 1: back when you could slightly connect incidental contact and create

939
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: the whistle to blow. But anyway, I'm walking past the set,

940
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 1: I see Spike. I get on. I had just got

941
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: Let me let me pause for a second. I just

942
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 1: got off the train with a bunch of Knick fans.

943
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 1: But I had to be quiet because if I if

944
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: I uttered the word, if you would identify myself as

945
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: a bullet fan mighty call of as kicking back in

946
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: that New York. Actually, Motherucker's would have got at me

947
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: if I would have said, yes, anything right, keep it quiet.

948
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: I kept it. I ain't yo, listen, I know when

949
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: I'm in Rome how to act. So I'm but I'm

950
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: walking down. I'm not in Rome anymore. I'm a girl

951
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: six set and I see Spike and me and Spike

952
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: had an argument about about the call, about that whole

953
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: type of thing. So let me just say this, Mike Repelo,

954
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: being a Nick fan is a sad thing. I'm from Chicago.

955
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm a Cubs fans. I know how I feel to be.

956
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: That's a fucking disgrace. No, I'm sorry. The Cubs getting

957
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: busy right but right about now they always about it. Yes, listen,

958
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,439
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna talk about the Knicks because the Nicks.

959
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: Excuse me, the Yankees, because the Yankees is just a

960
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: fucking corporate McDonald's sixth story, because I like this. The

961
00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 1: music was produced by Prince. I believes okay Let's was

962
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 1: on the sound. They focused, They focused, you know, Spike,

963
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: I do the Spike thing. I see Spike and a

964
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: long story made short. He and I had a exchange

965
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 1: about the nick. Now, what I love about Spike ain't

966
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: a lot. I love this about Spike, and I love

967
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: about New York fans like Mike is They're not they

968
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: die hard. They tend to be die her now. I

969
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: don't know if they still are. Because the modern era

970
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: roots for the fucking overdog. I like people are rooting

971
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:29,760
Speaker 1: for Steph Curry, who daddy was a pro and a coach. Wow,

972
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm not shipping what you're respecting to

973
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: due am I lying? Tell me I'm not telling you

974
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: the truth, but that he is the overdog. He grew up,

975
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: there was a player in the car. I got you.

976
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: So what if he's in approach. This was like a

977
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: physical specimen and blur anyway, who cares? You can be

978
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 1: This is why it's a little man Curry hate starting.

979
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: I don't want people to think, let me make this,

980
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 1: let me let me then I'm not I'm not listen.

981
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I got nothing but love

982
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: for for basketball players. Okay, but I'm not gonna blow

983
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 1: the Curry family because this kid deserves what he's getting.

984
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: He worked hard to get there. I know he went

985
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: to like our college and all I understand his bio

986
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: a little. I'm not sleeping on Steph Curry. I understand

987
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: I saw. Look when I watched him shooting, I'm looking

988
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: at the best shoot I've ever seen shoot the ball.

989
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: In the era that you can't touch a player, now

990
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: we used to think somebody else's the best shooter, and

991
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: they didn't get the opportunity to have free looks. Also,

992
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: when you can't touch a player, of the lanes open up, Mike,

993
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: understand the science of it. Something like So now the

994
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: running spaces are larger. Everything changes because they want to

995
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,359
Speaker 1: see games be a hundred forty points. I'm not done

996
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: with the new commissioner. David Stern was a better commissioner.

997
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 1: The only thing I like about the new commission is

998
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: he handled that Donald Sterling ship. Other than that, it's

999
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: a flop. Look, you gotta be nineteen in the league.

1000
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: Why right? Just be good enough, you know, out of

1001
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,439
Speaker 1: the whole other thing. Wait, stay on the story, because

1002
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: we're got we have to. First of all, we're definitely

1003
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,760
Speaker 1: doing the whole fucking basketball podcast. Because you came in hot.

1004
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 1: I didn't know you were coming in hot. I'm not

1005
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: I need to know you were shipping on step but

1006
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 1: actually ball riding lebronch. I'm cold ice man, I'm not

1007
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: ice chair boy. The best poster, listen, the best poster

1008
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: besides the was like this with the arms out. The

1009
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: ice poster was ill. The Moses Malone ship was ill too. Yeah. Okay, wait,

1010
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 1: so where you were the posters? I gotta wrap it

1011
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: up all. I'm gonna say this, So if you so

1012
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: based on based on what you're based on everything you have, everything,

1013
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: you know, everything that's going on right now. We're in

1014
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference and Western Conference finals. We're up to date,

1015
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 1: we're up to score. If you had to bet the

1016
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: house who's winning the NBA Championship this season right now?

1017
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 1: Based on everything that we know right now, who do

1018
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: you think is gonna win? There's four teams left? Would

1019
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 1: Harris make your prediction? I think my prediction probably falls

1020
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: on you know. I'm I just think, okay, see it's

1021
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: looking like they've come of age, and uh I think

1022
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna be Golden State. Not because Curry can't can't

1023
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: give his all, Not because Golden State. I just think

1024
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: that Golden State's engine is a little down. They played

1025
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: when got the title. See one of things seven. I'm

1026
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 1: gonna say, I hate that. I'm a Bulls I'm a sucking,

1027
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 1: die hard Bulls fan. That's where this is coming into.

1028
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: Let me just let me I didn't see that going nowhere.

1029
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: Let me see. Let me there's preface era, not a

1030
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: the in the soft era. Motherfucker's could hit four hundred three.

1031
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: We're making we're making sense now where the Steph Curry

1032
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 1: ships coming from. Because although what Harris does sound more

1033
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,919
Speaker 1: like a New Yorker and less like a Chicago person,

1034
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: it's all making sense. He's all funked up in the

1035
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,439
Speaker 1: game because he was like, that record is never gonna

1036
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: be broke. And the fact that that's in Chicago. Man,

1037
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: Jim McMahon doesn't know whether it's a Tuesday or Thursday.

1038
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: These things hurt. Okay, I understand that. Underfucking standing. Okay.

1039
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: So that's where we got a backtrack. The Steph Curry

1040
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: thing is coming a little bit from well, Bill Wennington, funck,

1041
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: Bill Cartwright. I love when he was in Nick Okay,

1042
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: fucking fuck Bill Cartwright. Okay, Jackson, you guys, he's my guy. Now,

1043
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: he's my guy now he was he got success is

1044
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: not in New York successors in Chicago. I got it.

1045
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: I got it. When he was with you, he's got

1046
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: a go tee. Now, when he was with you, he

1047
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: just had the mustache. He looked crazy. That's all I'm saying.

1048
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: All right, listen, I'm gonna shut it down. Wood Harris,

1049
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna have okay. So you got okay. See, I mean,

1050
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: it's anything gonna be Cleveland. I hate to bet against

1051
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: Lebron because listen, let me just say this real quick.

1052
00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 1: Ok Lebron average forty one and twelve. He's that fucking beast,

1053
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: forty one and twelve every game against Golden suitetion. How

1054
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: would he wind up averaging goddamnit, forty one and twelve? What?

1055
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: It was incredible, you know listen. And he had to

1056
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 1: do that because there was no Kevin Love and no

1057
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irvy. So you mean a player got forty one

1058
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: and twelve a game, and that's twelve rebounds and seven assists.

1059
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 1: He almost got a trip dub every rip. And this

1060
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: kid over here want to talk about Lebron because off

1061
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: the court he says something crazy cats cats. You know, listen, man,

1062
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 1: it's hard to be people. Man, and you listen, Lebron

1063
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: grew up with nothing. I take the underdog. That's the underdog,

1064
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: not no more. Curry was never then underdog. Lebron grew

1065
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,439
Speaker 1: up not anymore because they created this. You're talking about

1066
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: the player. I'm talking the player. You're talking about the

1067
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 1: player or the person. I don't know either one of them. No,

1068
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 1: but you're saying he grew up with nothing in terms

1069
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: of when I'm talking about the person, the person grew

1070
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: up without his pop. This other dude, ub nat you

1071
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: which me, he's never a bad thing. Would that's not

1072
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,439
Speaker 1: a bad thing advantage? But yeah, I'm saying you can't.

1073
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: It's not a bad thing if you're six to advantage,

1074
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: If you're six to seventy five pounds, that ain't no

1075
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 1: fucking advantage. He had to fight to gay. He almost didn't,

1076
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: you know. I mean you know again again, he couldn't.

1077
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: He could. He could exist in any era. I'm not

1078
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 1: trying to make this about Steph Curry. I love Listen.

1079
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go on the records. I love

1080
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: Steph Curry. Watching him game, his handles is only comparable

1081
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: to Kyrie Irving, even just without the shot. I ain't

1082
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: never seen a person handle the ball and created him

1083
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: and Kyrie Irving. Actually they different between him and Kyrie Irving.

1084
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: His Kyrie got the ball on a yo yo with

1085
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: his hands? Did you know that? But but but but

1086
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: but Steph Curry is fred to stay with his feet

1087
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: is crazy what he's doing with his feet. You know

1088
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 1: what I just found out. I didn't know this. You

1089
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: know that Kyrie Irving's godfather Strictly, And I was like,

1090
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 1: I just learned that. It made perfect sense because you

1091
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: know the way they play is very soon. He has

1092
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: those angles and like that. That means different, it's different.

1093
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 1: But it just was like, of course his godfather's strict

1094
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: was a nick. Right, Strict was a nick. He was

1095
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: in Portland. He was a wizard. He was He went

1096

Speaker 1: in DePaul to outside in Chicago, Chicago. That's a Chicago college.

1097
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: One of the illest, illest point guards. Guy probably got

1098
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:16,919
Speaker 1: all the records or whatever. Rod Strickland. If you don't

1099
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: know Rod Strickland, man, you know strictly Strickland talking about

1100
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: a New York City legend. But the Knicks ain't gonna

1101
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: going nowhere soon. I love Karmelo Anthony going nowhere. I

Speaker 1: most impressive celebrity basketball player you ever played against? There's

1127
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: a handful. I think some great ones. Man, who do

1128
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: you think, because great, use the word great? Great in

1129
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: the league? Great? Who do you think could play? You

1130
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 1: know who could play back? And he wins the celebrity games.

1131
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: Martin could play. Dwayne Martin is back in the Dwayne

1132
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 1: Marco who But you know who had I mean, he

1133
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: could still play, but he slowed up and he got

1134
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: so much money in his pocket. Of course you're gonna slow.

1135
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,439
Speaker 1: But when he was younger, Kevin Hard could get down.

1136
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:08,919
Speaker 1: He was like one of the little little Kevin harkul play.

1137
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 1: But the only reason why Kevin Hawk can play because

1138
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: he's amazingly small. It's like it's like being amazingly tall.

1139
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 1: I got it. But he was one of those he

1140
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: got games, little fucking fast. But you can't guard him.

1141
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: You can't, you know, you can't good. It was a

1142
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: couple of guys was really good. Brian and Knight could play.

1143
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 1: He could shoot but I never thought he wouldn't like

1144
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: Bryan m. Knight. Though people don't like Bryn ming Knight.

1145
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: I didn't like his game. I wasn't impressed. I was like,

1146
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 1: that's good for the Celebrity League, but if we're getting

1147
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 1: the part a lot of cattle, was I there were

1148
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: some dudes. You could play a lot of cats. There's

1149
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: a lot more than couldn't like asking cusher shouldn't step

1150
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:41,120

1153
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 1: Never do it again, Toby McGuire. I don't think he

1154
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 1: don't ever play again. But you know they should play

1155
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: because I like I like the fact that they love

1156
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: us so much that they don't give a funk. They

1157
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: don't give U. We gotta give it up. Shoot. What

1160
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 1: does look crazy to see him on the court and

1161
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: he just looks bucked out. And you know what, I

1162
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: thought I was taller than at Kutcher and he looks

1163
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: so tall on TV. Yeah, he can't play when the

1164
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 1: motherfucker's looks so tall and they're not a tall cut.

01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 1: the chip, and they got the wings as of yesterday. Yes,

1203
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: my homie Russell Westbrook, who plays defense, who should have

1204
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: got a vote. They should have never been a United

1205
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 1: Smate's decision for Steph Curry ever, ever, ever, ever, I

1206
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: don't not would have Russell Westbrook in the league. Are

1207
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: you crazy? He had just many as many times as

1208
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: Oscar Robinson. He was incredible, that many dimes in this

1209
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 1: era though minute Oscar Robinson is overrated, but he got

1210
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: that many dimes today? How do you didn't get a vote?

1211
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 1: It's the team? How could you have a year where

1212
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 1: Lebron don't get a vote anyway anyway and a guy

1213
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 1: who don't, who can't defend another superstar at all? I

1214
01:06:55,960 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 1: don't agree. He's playing d on Russell Westbrook. Now, that's

1215
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 1: what mean? He's not stopping there all playing Okay, listen, no, no, no,

1216
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 1: Mike never got stopped. Okay, Well, he ain't get a

1217
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 1: unanimous chip, So how are you on the shoot? He

1218
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 1: getting a unanimous To me, that's just like the Oscars.

1219
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, It's like the Oscars. This is

1220
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: what I think I'm gonna saying. I'm gonna go racial

1221
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: on it tool and I hate to go race because

1222
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 1: he's like skinned. No, it's because he's light skinned it.

1223
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 1: And also no, it's not that I'm gonna tell you

1224
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 1: what this is is that the white guys appreciate the

1225
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:31,439
Speaker 1: j more than the rest of the game. They love

1226
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 1: the three and the jump shot more than the rest

1227
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 1: of the game, even the defense. So this kid who's

1228
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 1: who's fair skinned and I don't have nothing really like

1229
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 1: do with it. He like skinned it, but they don't

1230
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 1: have really nothing to do with it. Has to do Ye.

1231
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: There's a guy on the court, whether he was black, green, yellow,

1232
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: orangel red, who could shoot jump shots the way he does,

1233
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 1: which is the greatest we've ever seen of a jump shot.

1234
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 1: These white cats had to vote him unanimously. Now I

1235
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,120
Speaker 1: don't even know if all the voters are white. I'm

1236
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 1: saying they all got a white mentality. Listen, you know

1237
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:05,919
Speaker 1: who's gonna you know who's gonna come after you because

1238
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: he's the king of all things light skin for talking ship.

1239
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to deal with him. And he could

1240
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 1: be a problem with Matt Barnes because anybody I met

1241
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: my barn hood though that's what he Mr Barnes love me.

1242
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 1: He's holding it down for let me go, light Skin continue.

1243
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 1: Let me say something. The Clippers they funked up when

1244
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: they got rid of him, agreed, wish let me say something.

1245
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 1: I gotta love him. Att Barnes. He didn't even team

1246
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 1: light skin, this team dark skin. Right there, he's stuck

1247
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 1: a shrugging he thucking shruggish for real funk with Matt Barnes.

1248
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: He like he got a little Alan Ivison in him too,

1249
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:39,719
Speaker 1: with anybody with a little look. Steph got a little

1250
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 1: of that. Of course, stuff is a beast. Of course

1251
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:44,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna end this with the whole world thinking that.

1252
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: Don't coign that number. Steph Curry is a beast, I said.

1253
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:53,679
Speaker 1: I never once uttered the word about him not having

1254
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 1: the greatest jump shot. You gotta get credit to that,

1255
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 1: But you don't give unanimous decisions to people outside when

1256
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 1: you didn't give it to Mike, and you can't give

1257
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 1: it to Kobe. Kobe had eighty one and in the season.

1258
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 1: In that same season, they put him on a bench

1259
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 1: after he had sixty three and three quarters. I was

1260
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 1: at that the same season he had fifty six and

1261
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: three quarters him, but the sixty three point he was

1262
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 1: a disaster. As good as he was, I saw guys

1263
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:23,720
Speaker 1: on his own. But listen what I had, sixty three

1264
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: and the whole and the whole maick. He didn't even

1265
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 1: he didn't even consider passing the ball. I was at

1266
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: the game, were going like this, they were throwing. They

1267
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 1: look like D'Angelo Russell over what's the young cat? Who? Who?

1268
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 1: Who was played? Played itself for the lagy Angelo Russell?

1269
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:44,680
Speaker 1: You know, they look like videos hadn't want to give

1270
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 1: him a round. He look crazy. It's another fantastic episode
